MAUI HAPPENINGS.
La DANsE A KALUANUI.

dence of 3. d. Baldwin, Esq, again
donned bright and festive air, the
occasion being the last of trio of
delightful parties, rendered this time
as a farewell honor to three young
ladies. The queen of night" veneer
ing with silver the dull gray after
noon sky, put quietus on all fears
as to attendance, and rendered tete-
a-tete strolls in the beautiful garden
one of the pleasing events of the
evening. In the sale de danse,
adorned with vines and flowers, the
vivacious strains of violin, piano and
harp not only caused the completion
of the printed order, but inspired the
addition of four extras.
Midway on the programme oc
Cured rather remarkable "Presen-
tation of Medals" One of the COM
nittee of arrangements having
seated the three young ladies in a
semi. circle and called the assembly
to order, delivered a nonsensicaI,
pathetic and at times affectionate
address, in presenting a "silvery"
star to each of the departing fair
ones-the other two committeeman
officiating in tying the pink ribbons.
The first was admonished to always
remember that she "Voss here this
evening"" the second was deplored
with, because she "could Mott grace
another occasion at Kaluanui," and
the third was congratulated for she
MAY B. here again in the happy
future"
In Eastern watering places the
summer wall has been 20 for a
man!n but on Maui success or failure
in social affairs depends upon the
ladies. Judging by this, as we'll as
by other standards, the April party
at Kaluanui was most successful
event, and it WAS with regret that
adieu was uttered in place Of the
usual "aufWiedersehen" to three who
have taken prominent parts in the
winter gaieties of Makawao.
FIRE AT PAIA.
About 2 A.. NJ. on the 9TH inst. a fire
broke out in the Chinese quarter of
Paia. Four buildings were con-
sumed, including the store of Kim
Faa, his two-story dwelling house
and two other small structures ad-
joining. Like all matters in which
the Monaghan is concerned, the
origin of the conhagration is
shrouded in mystery. The natives
tell "a story about the overturning of
lamp, and the Chinese hint darkly
that it was an incendiary act, the
doer of the deed being unknown.
Deputy Sheriff Andrews was on the
spot with some of the police and
rendered all the assistance possible.
The natives present willingly lent a
helping hand, but the Chinese them
selves stood aloof, and as in the
Wilder warehouse fire at Kahului,
seemed disinclined to act the part of
good citizens and "battle with the
fire-fend."
Kim Faa carried on the most ex-
tensive trade in Chinese goods of all
the stores in the village, and, it is
said, he had an insurance of $4,000
upon his property, the two story
house alone being valued at $500.
During the disaster he was absent at
his corn ranch in Kula, and did not
learn OF the event until the following
day.
A MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
At Am, the 9Th inst, John Go
veia, a Portuguese laborer of Paia
Plantation, started to work as usual
requesting his boy to bring his
breakfast at o'clock. About 5 A. NJ
some of the plantation people dis
covered hat and coat lying on the
bank of the reservoir, just below the
mill, and upon further investigation
discovered the body of the Portu
guese In the water. 1t is matter o.
conjecture, whether it is case Of
suicide, or whether hearts disease Of
some other internal trouble seized
him while taking his morning bath
He leaves a widow and five children
to mourn his loss.
