MAUI HAPPENINGS.

Portuguese.

pat up at auction, and the bidding
was extremely lively, inasmuch as
the representatives. OF the Maui
Cattle Trust We're out in force and
II. Roberts, proprietor of the rival
butcher shop was continually
seeing" each offer of his oppon-
ents and raising" them.
Finally the heavy pockets of the
Trust prevailed and they bought
the lease for about $445 and will
shortly open beef market.
Services appropriate for Easter
Sunday were held at the Makawao
Foreign Church on the 18th inst.
Rev. E. 2. Baker of Hilo preached
a discourse on the resurrection,
and beautiful lilies prettily adorn-
ed the pulpit.
During the last few Saturdays,
the Salvation Army have organ
ICED in Wailuku. They hold their
reviews near the market, and John
Kalua, ESQ, and others are in the
habit of addressing the troops. 1t
is said that John Kaihi is general,
but possibly there is some error
concerning the altitude of the title.
At their last assembly, it is re-
ported that several devotees of
Bacchus mistook the gathering for
a political meeting, and insisted
on expressing their views on the
economic questions of the day.
Apropos of Bacchus, a new
building is being erected at Kahu-
lui, to which the Wailuku saloon
is soon to be transferred. This
transfer of license retailer will be
quite a shock to numerous Chinese
denizens of the seaport village.
By order of the creditors the
stock of Antoine Borba will be sold
at public auction to-day.
Society functions on Maui gen.
orally fall into ''innocuous desue-
tude" during the dark of the moon.
However, Mrs. c. H. Dickey of
Haiku, who keenly appreciates
how fiat, stale, and improbable
life seems without a social gather
ing now and then, kindly enter
tanned score of the youth and
beauty of Makawao on Tuesday
eve, the 18th inst.
To say that games and music
made up the programme of the
evenings enjoyment seems an
. utterly weak and inadequate des-
g-eription but when youthful spirits
become unbottled and fzz and
sparkle, the most staid and sober
Wings serve as an easy means to
eost pleasurable end.
EXODUS OF PORTUGUESE.
It seems as though the Portu-
guese were abandoning Maui en-
masse. Six families leave Hamakua-
poke to-day for California, and they
are and have been continually de-
parting. One of them who has
recently returned from the golden
State remarked that it was a good
place for those of his countrymen
who comprehended English gar
dening, care of horses and cattle,
ranch work, etc. but woe to the
ignorant ones who can scarcely do
satisfactory work on Hawaiian
plantations, for Western temper is
not overly patient and long-sufer-
ing, and cannot tolerate ignorance
and awkwardness for a moment.
Haleakala has been favorite
place for outings during the week.
-Four fires illumined the mountain
slope on Wednesday night.
Olinda House was occupied by
the Wilder and Crook parties for
several nights. Most of the former
party of nine started for the sum-
NIT at s a. NJ. on Friday, and en-
joyed a most beautiful view they
returned to Kahului to-day. The
! Stolz party visit Idlewild y
Olinda to-day.
A new blacksmith shop has been
erected at Paia recently, and they
say that Mr.. Garrett is an A !
horse-shoer.
Not only that, but the Cattle
Trust has recently established
another market there, and that
their beef, ETC., is to be kept COO
on ice in a large refrigerator.
When Kiu Waa and All Loi, o
Kahului, came to trial for TIN
illegal sale of liquor, before Judg'
Kepoikai, of Waikiki, officer Fife
the chief witness for the prosecu
ton, was missing, so they wer
acquitted. The whereabouts o
Fife, who gained considerable noto
riety by his work in this case, j
a mystery.
A notice appeared in this week
GAZETTE announcing a politica
meeting at Makawao School-hous
during Friday afternoon. For som
reason or other, very few citizen
we're present, and Hon. John Ks
luna adjourned the small gatherin
without expressing his views on tn
questions of the hour.
