A WORTHY HEKP-MEET.
Theresa Grabs DisturberS Bald
Headed and Trys TO Thrash
Them.

The Liberal Party held a meeting
last Friday in the church at Wal
XXI. At first they had no idea of
being allowed in the church, but
one of their schemers hearing that
the man in charge had gone to the
Pail to visit sick friend, used a
little stratagem and succeeded in
getting the key of the holy place.
The slick Individual called at the
house of the church attendant and
gave the latter's mother a song and
dance, with the result OF having the
doors opened.
Il. w. Wilcox was q little restless
during the evening, and, to use an
Anglicism, he was a little "leary"
for fear the churchman would return
unannounced and bounce the whole
gang.
When Robert was called on to
give one of his gems of oratory, he
replied that he would listen to the
other speakers, and, in the mean
time, if anybody extinguished the
lamps he added, with scant venera-
ton for the holy place, that he would
boot him out the window. Finally,
Wilcox started his remarks, ever and
anon looking anxiously at the door
and keeping one eye on the lamps.
During Roberts speech he was in
terrupted by some people outside of
the window with remarks that were
not complimentary to the "Dic-
tator."
He promised to shoot them" also,
but before he could carry out his
wish it is stated that the fair The
resa started down the aisle and went
after the belligerents with her wrath
and fists, completely routing the
enemy.
The next morning was a sad one
for the pastor When he entered
his little church and saw the after
math of a Liberal meeting he could
not refrain from quoting his favorite
extract from the Bible: "Thou shalt
not make the house of God den of
thieves"

salutations of the different candi-
dates. After election, it will be quite
different-but that is another story.
The Bulletin does not like the
Holomua, because the latter says the
ADVERTISER is the only newspaper in
the kingdom.
There is no truth in the report
that Johnny Bowler has purchased
an interest in either a hardware,
lumber or a feed business.
C. w. Ashford said that all his in
terests are conferred here. Consider
ing that he pays yearly tax amount
ing to S43, his interests are indeed
great.
Mr.. Che Fa, of the Fourth Ward,
said the other evening that he earns
his honest living on the wharves.
-Whiskers Bush will be planted
next Wednesday along with the other
trees that arrived on the Australia.

The Bomb and Fire cracker Fes-
fival VIII Commence This
Evening.
Tomorrow will be a day Of fasting
and kicking in Honolulu on account
of the Chinese New Year. A we'll
informed Chinaman says that no
Chinese cook or servant will be
at work tomorrow in Difference to
Chinese custom more ancient than
their country itself.
He further said that the day is a
very sacred one, and a Chinaman
would be ostracized if he did any
work or lifted even an article
heavier than a che ia ticket.
Business in Chinatown will be
suspended; every subject Of the
Emperor from the merchants down
to the humblest Chinese will observe
the day receiving and visiting their
cousins. All the stores will have
tables laden with delicacies as a
token of congratulations, prosperity
and good luck.
Special services will be held in the
Chinese Christian churches to-mor-
row, and no doubt the heather
Chinaman will worship his Joss"
on Smith street. The sons of the
Flowery Kingdom pursue the oppo,
site methods used by Westerners to
obtain the same result. They say
that the exploding of bombs and fire
crackers denote peace, quiet and
contentment. The exhibition of
peace, quiet and contentment will
commence this afternoon at 4 o'clock,
and will continue all night for the
benefit of nervous people.
The New Year will be celebrated
for three days in earnest, and Mon
day morning business will commence
again on Nuuanu street.

& Story.

a funny story comes from Kauai
that happened about the time R.
W. Wilcox was on "his triumphant
tour of the islands," as Whiskers
Bush's paper termed it.
Wilcox entered a store and began
a conversation with the owner. The
latter did not know Wilcox, but soon
discovered that he was a politician
and innocently asked the latter what
had become of those scrubs and
scoundrels, Bush and Wilcox.
The ''next President" very haugh-
tily remarked: 81 am Mr.. Wilcox"
That's all.
