be introduced by an old-fashioned
hoe-downn jig. Tickets for reserved

FRIDAY NIGHTS RAID.
The Police Department to be
Congratulated on It's
Activity,

1t is very easy for the royalist
papers to pooh-pooh the idea OF
their being any significance in the
fact Of guns being found on the
premises of John F. Colburn on
Friday night. It is their business
to make little of such cir
cumstance. But the fact re-
mains that positive evidence was
received by the Police Department
that several suspicious-looking
boxes were seen being carried into
both Colburn's and Peterson's
houses that night. This, taken
with the fact of their well-known
inimical feeling to the Provisional
Government, was enough to justify
a raid such as was made on Friday
night. If absolutely nothing had
been found there would still have
been reason for congratulating the
department on its close watching
of all matters that most deeply con-
Germ the Government.

THE MISSES ALBU.
Another Most Enjoyable Con
cert on Saturday
Night.

The concert on Saturday night
was another feather in the cap Of
the Misses Albu, and was a success
in every way. 1t is hardly nee
cesary to recaptulate the pro-
gramme, as the majority of music
lovers of Honolulu were present.
But Miss Julie Albu deserves a
special mention for her excellent
rendition of aloha Oe". She sang
it in the most approved Hawaiian
style, and it took immensely with
the house. She had to repeat it
twice before the audience was satis-
fed.
Miss Rose Albu sang, as an en-
core to one of her songs, a very
catchy little bit called "Woman's
Way"
Mr.. NJ. L. NJ. Plunkett, the man
ager of the Misses Albu, has decided
to give complimentary concert in
Kawaiahao Church some time dur
ing Christmas week. The exact
date has not been decided on as
yet, but Tuesday, the day after
Christmas day, will probably be
the time. The proceeds will go for
the benefit of the church.

in the Pinyon mountains of Nevada and
started drift. We didn't intend to put
in more than weeks work-just enough
to develop the 'fnd' and load up with
specimens for assay-but after four or
five days Tom was taken sick. Winter
was already at hand, with a foot of snow
ON the ground.
If you have never been among the
western mountains, may tell you that
at about the middle of December, after
winter has seemingly shut down, there
comes what is called Chinook"
warm wind off the Pacifc-which melts
the snow and stands the season off for a
week, as it We're. We had calculated to
take advantage of this break to get out
of the mountains, but fate willed it 9TH
erwise. Tom was a New Highlander,
rough and rugged He hadn't been sick
a day since he could remember, and his
sudden breakdown was a complete sur
prise to both of us. He was attacked
late in the afternoon with a violent
twitching of his muscles, and by mid
night was in a profound stupor, which
lasted with but few intermissions until
the end.
