During Sunday, the 4th, Waikiki
was the center of interest to POrtu-
| guese and o,her nationalities belong
ing to the Roman church. A special
train of eight cars departed from
Pala in the morning packed to the
| ratings and steps, even then leaving
| a large number behind. The usual
religious rites and ceremonies pecu-
liar to Corpus Christi day took
| place at the Wailuku Catholic mis-
sion, and were witnessed by hundreds
| OF people. The procession marched
from the church to the graveyard

in evidence in Wailuku district;
nearly every person met is suffering
from his visitations or has had some
knowledge of him during the recent

dren of the Waikiki and Waihee
schools are sick, and there is some
talk of closing the Waikapu institu-

victims.

During the night of May 9th, it so
happened that Misses Cornwell and
Kitty Vida were left alone in the
large house in Waikapu, their uncle,
w. II. Cornwell, Esq, having de-
parted for Honolulu. Nothing un-
usual took place till at late hour
the slumbers of Miss Vida were dis
turbed by a dark object moving
softly to and fro in her room. She
made no outcry though this object in
the course of its wanderings ap-
preached her netting three times and
gazed through at her. She bravely re-
strained all impulse to cry out and
kept close watching.
The celestial, for she recognized
him by his dress as the family wash
man, fumbled about the bureau,
handling her jewelry and attempting
to open the bureau drawers. He
also made two visits into the adjoin-
ing room occupied by Miss Cornwell.
Every now and then he would return
and gaze at Miss Vida through the
netting. While the Chinaman was
playing with an automizer in the
former young ladies' room, Miss Vida
made a quiet exit and aroused Mr..
Decker who has charge of Mr.. Corn
wells horses and lived near by.
Returning, no midnight prowler
could not be found; he had escaped
by sliding down a veranda post, but
had taken nothing of value with
him. Miss Cornwell on being awaken
ed was mucq surprised to hear the
story. The day before Mr.. Corn
wells return from Honolulu, the
washman disappeared,
