The March Literary at Hama
kuapokO.

MIS-. OllQuS, Oh nGmdhudpohO'
In spite of the facts that many OF
the districts people were absent and
that heavy showers had prevailed
mauka during the day, the drawing
rooms were fairly filed with the
ladies and gentlemen of the vicinity.
The proverbial quiet and decorum
of the early part of an evening was
soon broken by signs OF interest and
pleasure in the different events of the
programme. A duet, piano and vic
lin, by Mrs. Loveland and Mr.. Gilhus,
served as an introduction to the en-
tertainment. Then followed reci-
tation prettily rendered by Miss Ethel
Mossman.
Next-Thirty merry minutes were
devoted to close study of "Circu-
lating Library" the guests by aid of
a few simple accessories and vast
deal of Imagination became trans
formed into representations of GER
tain we'll known books. The library
kept circulating so that each illustra-
ton by some happy chance or Hercu-
lean mental effort might happen upon
the obscure titles of their confreres.
Some of the select volumes Of the
evenings collection were as follows:
"Locke's Essay on the Human Under
standing" was represented by Mr.. II.
Laws Ia paddock and large S on one
foot, and an A on the other); Cred as
q Rose is She," by Miss Gregory Ia
red lace dress and bunch of roses);

were slippers, purses, bits of ribbon,
billet dcux, etc.); reflections of a
Married Man." by Mr.. Geo. Beckwith
"a small mirror attached to his coat;
"Ghosts and their Photos," by Miss
May Baldwin cher dress and hair
were decorated with tiny skeletons
and ghostly photograph was in a
prominent position); ga Cardinal

tator on Man." by Mr.. Loveland Ia

"We Two" by Misses Hammond and
Morris; "a Drawn Came" by Mr..
Dickey; "Green Pastures" by MIR.
Hay; ''Driven from Sea to Sea-" by
Mr. and Mrs. Simpson; and numer-
GUS others.
Papers were distributed and wild
guesses were made as to the identity
of the different representations.
After a pleasing trio, by Messrs.
Baldwin, Nicoll and Linsey, Miss
Hammond recited O humorous piece
with piano accompaniment, an6 Mrs.
Beckwith read an interesting piece.
Then vocal duet by Misses Nor
ris and -Nape, followed by refresh
ments, chit chat, and home going by
the light of a brilliant moon.

The Raymond party of twelve, in
charge of MIR. Lyons, is expected to
visit Maui and its crater next week.
Geo. Cooper, formerly in the en-
ploy of the T. III. Davies & Co.'s
Paia Store, has accepted a position on
the Han "a plantation. Mr.. Gibson
has been sent to Paia to fill the va
cancy.
One of Mr.. G. P. Wilder's carrier
pigeons has been making fame dur
ing the week. It arrived in Kahului
on Thursday, the Both inst, with in
formation tied to its neck to the
effect that two u. s. Commissioners,
had arrived in Honolulu the day pre-
vious, per revenue cutter Rush
chairman Blount and another, his
secretary
The Japs and Portuguese are
coming back. to Kaluanui family by
family. Work will be resumed very
shortly on the small plantation.
The Claudine had a rough trip
from Honolulu this week and was
trife late in consequence. For
wonder no strange faces came ashore
in her boats.
The friendly gathering of teachers
of Makawao and Waikiki has been
postponed from Friday the 31st Of
March, to Friday April 7th. This
change was made owing to the fact
that the 31st was Good Friday.
Mrs. Dickey has been acting as
chatelaine of Mrs. Alexander's noun
tain residence during the absence
of the latter in Honolulu.
Last night, March 31st, a number
of young people were invited there
'.iust to play games" and enjoyed
them much, as well as the ride home
ward by the light of the full moon
and through cool atmosphere.
1t is rumored that an annexation
club will soon be organized on Maui.
1t is probably to be branch of the
Honolulu association which, it is re-
ported, now includes upwards Of
1000 members out of possible $500
the number of registered represen-
tative voters. Judging by the ex-
preston of opinion from many for
eigners this new organization should
flourish bravely from the start.
1t Is said that a foreign teacher
who recently took charge of the Ulu-
palakua school was taken to Homo
lulu last week per Klnau. It is rum
ored that his many and frequent
vagaries of mind caused him to be
judged insane. It seems that
he was formerly engaged on Hawaii

room and about to arrest him; then
