The Hawaiian gazette., 1893-10-03


A recent squirt Of activity on the
part Of the police resulted in the
arrest Of four Japanese for gamb-
ling. One new man on the force
may account for the work.
Judge S. L. Austin and wife OF
Hilo reached Hsmakua today.
They are on their way to Kohala,
where the judge presides at the
next term Of the circuit court.
Chas. Kempster of Kohala has
been the guest of Hamakua friends
part Of the week.
Mrs. Judge Copp of Makawao,
Maui, is the guest of her daugher,
Mrs. W. B. Harley. Miss Lydia
Copp, who came over at the same
time, returns home by this trip OF
the Claudine.
Masters Teddy and Frank Green
field have returned to school at San
Rafael, California, after two
months vacation spent at home.
They have made quite a collection
Of ancient Hawaiian curios, includ-
ing many kinds of stone work and
many specimens from the volcano,
all collected by request of the
headmaster of the school.
Mrs. Chas. Williams, wife Of our
assessor and collector, is reported
to be quite sick at her home in Ka-
pulena.
A good dentist can pick up
hundred or two stray dollars by
paying our district a short visit.
The sheriff of Hawaii has re-
Gently rendered a decision that
makes his friends smile. Some
months ago Bordfelt shot a Jap at
Kukuihaele, and the Pacific Sugar
Mill Co. went on his bond, which
was signed by the late C. Won
Mengersen as manager of the
P. s. NJ. As soon as the sheriff
heard of the death of Mr.. Menger-
sen he decided that the bond was
void, and ordered that a new bond
be given. Wonder if he would
have thought it was void bond
had Mr.. Bordfelt embraced the op-
portunity and skipped? " Those
are my orders, and I don't want to
talk about the matter"
Our country post offices are
loaded down with red tape enough
to run the San Francisco office.
The officials here claim that they
are only acting under orders from
the general postofice. The first
bit of tape that was a nuisance
was the requirement of not issuing
any domestic money-order unless
it was placed in the letter and
mailed before the party left the
office. The second was requiring
gold for foreign money orders, and
refusing to accept silver with the
premium added when no gold |
could be had. The last one is the
worse OF all, for it is silly, as well
Is nuisance and q loss. 1t re-
luires postmasters not to cancel
any old issue stamps. Unless you
IAN use q surcharged stamp you
need not write, seems to be the |
motto. We have been noticing for |
Iome time that the postmaster
general was going to come up our
way, and We hereby extend a spe-
,ial invitation. We know a num- |
Der Of men that want to talk to /
lin. Our mail service is good, |
,ut it requires q steady nerve to
work the combination.
Hamakua is getting to be quite a
1lace for amusements. Tennis is
he leading variety in the east end,
here now being three courts. Mrs.
lanes Renton opened her court
With a tournament On Tuesday
.fternOon, making the third one.
Dancing Is the form most enjoyed,
4 the west end. There is already
ak Of ball for the holiday sea
on. James Renton has been talk
ng up archery since he came home
rom Chicago, and there seem q
iesire to form club. 1t is all the
age in the east, and of course We
must endeavor to keep up with the
recession.
The weather continues in the
anne old rut. We can't imagine
that great sin is charged up
gainst Us, but HiIo has rain,
iona has rain, Maui has rain, and
ven Honolulu has enough to re-
i've memories of time that once
Tss, but We do not even have a
prinkle. Every known sigh of
