MAUI HAPPENINGS.
A SOCIABLE OCCASION.

"triple alliance y of luminaries, luna,
Jupiter and Venus-that induced sixty
people to climb the slope of Haleakala
to the residence of Mrs. H. g. Alex
ander on the occasion of the February
18th Literary and Social" of the
Makawao Church. Roses and passion
vine rendered the parlOrs ornate and
inviting, the centre piece of Les
Marques being extremely beautiful.
The programme was neither ambi-
tiOus nor elaborate, but was highly
successful and enjoyable. 1t was
something as follows: A tableau,
"ROckaby Baby, 1.-TWO tiny grand
mas in quaint old-style dresses, Nellie
Alexander and Belle Dickey, rocking
by the Fireplace Zone petting her doll,
the other clinking the Hitting needless
while Miss Mott softly sang the re-
frain of the popular song. Number 2
was Cinderella and the Fairy God
mother" by Mrs. Forster and Nellie
Alexander. The pensive look of the
fair lady in Old-time English dress,
together with the CLINT and SHIN
mer of long golden hair before the
ruddy glow of a Pickering fire, the
approach and retreat of the little
sprite waving the starry wond, formed
dience. Then followed a reading,
"The Photograph in Love-" by Mr..
F. w. Hardy. The fourth number, a
comic song, by Mr.. G. H. Dickey,
aroused the enthusiasm of his hearers,
as Mr.. Dickey may dO-alWays does.
a recitation selected from Longfel-
lows "Hiawatha," by Miss Ham
mond, was gracefully executed and
we'll received.
A song, "Tit for Tat"-one of the
latest from the Coast by Miss Mott,
drew applause from her friends, and
for an encore she sang Coming thro'
the Rye"
The Senators Dilemma" a recita-
ton by Miss Paris, was most laugha-
BILE and was one Ofthe hits of theeYen-
ing.
Then came 'Mother Goose" in tab
leaux, -"Jack Horner," Jack Sprat
and Wife," "See-Saw," and "Three
Wise Men," which concluded the en-
tertainment amid great merriment of
the audience. The guests, even after
sandwiches and coffee, seemed lOath
to leave the spacious house, the beau
tiful grounds and the moonlight, and
it was late, very late, before the order
"Break Ranks was fully Obeyed.
A MORMON CONVENTION.
That the religious idea originated
by Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, land
other worthless, holds sway on Maui
was made manifest by a Sunday
school convention held in the Nor
mon church at Pulehu, Kula, on Sat-
urday, February 9Th. There were
about two hundred persons present.

cies, pig and poi, but the greater part
members in good and regular stand
ing according to the Salt Lake doc
trine.
Rev. Kamakele, although pro-
FOUNDER of contrary ecclesiastical data,
accepted the presidency of the assem-
bly, in his most ''oluolu" manner.
There were four delegates from Laie,
Oahu, present,-three Anglo-Saxons
and one Hawaiian. The Kamaole
school sent 20 representatives, the
Waikiki 20, the Pulehu 80 or 40, the
Waikapu 3, and a church in Hama
kua presented only one, an old man,
who said his little lesson and sang his
hymn with great gustO.
The different committees in council
decided that the Kamaole class ex-
celled in knowledge of scripture, and
that the five Waikapu children sang
the most correctly.
On the same day, at Hamakuapoko,
Joe Fernandez, an old and respectable
Portuguese resident of Makawao dis
trict, had his toes crushed by the huge
wheels of heavy wood cart. The
accident is quite serious and will dis
able him for some time.
a PARTY.
During Monday evening, the 8th
inst, occurred a delightful little as
sembly of young people, at the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. G. H. Dickey,
Haiku. "Vive la bagatelle" ruled the
enjoyment of pleasurable hours,
though the game did not appear on
the entertainment list, but Menag

its drawings of animals-sOme artistic
and others outrageous. The clothespin

evening, and others, dissipated all
shyness and developed most pleasing
sociability.
