MAUI NEWS.
"St. Patriek's Day in the
Morning"

On Maui, during the 18th inst, st.
Patrick and Ksmehamehs III. divid-
ed honors, as far as celebrations are
concerned; the evacuation of Boston
by the British, a great American
event, received no mention whstso-
ever. Several schools kept holiday,
but as rule the citizens of our little
island were forgetful of the triple
reason which make the day historical.
At Haleskala Hall, Makawao, it
was st. Pstrick's Day in the evening,
and dancing feet did honor to his
Saiptship till long after the midnight
hour. A happy and artistic garniture
of bunting, ferns and lanterns made
the interior beautiful, and a large
party of Makawao young folk caused
the hours to pass right merrily.
Knots of green ribbon, worn by the
ladies and gentlemen below their
pretty buttonieres, gave reason for
the naming of the festivity-a ST.
Patriek's party. The music was
spirited, the floor CLASSY with wax,
and the lunch bountlful. Messrs
Simpson and Garnet, of Paia, made
efficient floor managers, and thanks
are due to Mrs. Alexander for the use
of the old-time, classic hail.
YOUNG PEOPLES SOCIAL.
The last much abused Legislature
is worthy of enconium for one of its
enactments-thato of compelling citi-
zens to attach lanterns to their carri-
ages when driven during the hours of
darkness. Its effect III Makawao has
been to convince people that the dark
OF moon is no longer to be feared,
and that q social event is possible
and enjoyable as well even when
luna is not shining brightly.
During Tuesday evening, the 18th
inst, the friends and members of the
Christian Endeavor Society gathered
in goodly numbers in the parlors Of
the Paia Foreign Church, and on this
occasion the third literary program
me within two weeks was introduced
and we'll rendered. 1t was most in
formal. and consisted of solos, vocal
and instrumental, readings and reci-
Sations.
Miss Ethel Mossman made a pleas
ing debut by reciting some of Ten
nyson's polished and poeticsl verses;
this was perhaps the most ambitious
effort of the evening.
As a receipt for sociability the fol-
lowing is to be recommended: Dis
tribute slips of paper and pencils to
your guests, and request them to
search their inner consciousness for
questions humorous or absurd, and
write them on the blanks; collect and |
then re distribute the written interro-
cations at random; after your friends |
have scrubbed ridiculous answers,
collect again and read loudly and |
Presto - excitement and |
great laughter. This was one of the
successes of the evening of the 18th, |
lust before refreshments.

HULA DANCE ON CANVAS.
a Series of Pictures of Native Ha-
waiians on Exhibition.

waiians on Exhibition.
W. Cogswell, a well-known por-
trait-painter on the Pacific Coast,
has on exhibition at the artrooms
of Sanborn, Vail IL Co. series of
ten pictures of native Hawaiians
in their historical dance. Mr..
Cogswell has been in Homo
lulu for the past two years
and has executed a number of por-
traits while there. The pictures on
exhibition are considered among
his best works and represent the
best type of native Hawaiian girls.
The subjects of the portraits were the
favorite dancers ofthe late King and
we're painted from life sittings, and
as represented are not only artistic
studies, but interesting and pleas
ing pictures as well. These pic
lures will probably be received for
the art exhibit at the Worlds Fair.

shooting that Huntsman had been
trying to break up his family.
TO STEAL HIS CHILD.
He also made another statement
to the effect that his victim was
trying to steal his child. He also
said that he did the shooting in
the parlor, after he had ordered
Huntsman out, but the eye-wit-
ness contradicts this statement by
saying that the shooting was done
before the wounded man had a
chance to ascend the stairs as
above mentioned. According to 3
friend of the family the real secret
of the affair lies in the fact that
Herring had made an unsuccessful
attempt to get possession of his
wife's property. After she had
decided to turn over her bank
book to him, she changed her
mind and refused to do so. He
had promised to buy her a dia-
mond bracelet and a horse and
buggy if she would sign over her
money, but at the last moment the
girls father interfered and pre-
vented the transfer of the property.
The foregoing is said to be the
cause of the quarrel between the
man and his wife, the husband
blaming Huntsman for interfering
with his plans, not knowing that the
father was responsible.

D. L. EUNTSMAN SHOT DOWN
BY AUGUST HERRING.
Two Bullets Take Effect in the
Body of the Victim.-His
Wounds Prove Fatal.

D. L. Huntsman was shot and
dangerously wounded on Saturday
night by August Herring, half
caste.
The shooting was done at the
residence Of Herring which is on
Liliha street. The cause of the
tragedy remains in doubt, notwith-
standing 3 number of rumors which
are supposed 10 explain why Her
ring made the murderous assault.
The particulars Of the affair were
furnished by an eyewitness and
judging from her statement, the
victim was shot down in cold blood.
Herring, with MS wife and child,
have been living on Liliha street
for few months. Huntsman was a
roomer OF theirs, in fact he has
made his home with the couple for
several years. He and Herring
had always been considered bosom
friends. They were constantly to-
gether and apparently were on the
best Of terms.

Herring is one of the young men
who were sent abroad to be edu-
Gated at the expense of the Govern
ment. In 1887 he was sent to
Italy to be instructed in the art of
sculpture. He remained there for
one year and then returned to San
Francisco, and, after remaining
with his father in that city for two
years, he came back to Honolulu.
For some time he has been doing
odd jobs of painting for his living,
He is q man of a very ugly temper,
and has squandered much of his
wife's property.
D. L. Huntsman is well known
in this city, having been the
editor of the Liberal, a journal pub
lished by Robert Wilcox. He was
formerly a Government school
teacher. During the late revolu-
ton he was on Kauai teaching
school, but, as soon as he heard of
the change in political affairs, he
returned to town to take charge of
