MAUI, April II During Friday
evening, the 18th instant, III spite of
showers drifting in now and then from
the sea, the whole district filled the
parlors of Mr.. and Mrs. Gilhus, of
Hamakuapoko, and enjoyed one of
the most unique programmes ever
given by the Makawao Literary So
ciety. White, green and gold were
the prevailing colors which trans
formed the back parlor into a temple
OF fame. The green of ferns and cane
against a semblance of marble-the
glittering gold of the throne at one
end, with the broad white steps ad-
joing, rendered the interior most beau
tiful and imposing-an abode worthy
OF the goddess of fame. After duet,
a sonata by Mrs. Loveland and Miss
M iris, the ruling deity of the temple,
Miss May Baldwin, in a Grecian cos
tune, seated herself upon the white
and god throne, announcing that the
laurel wreath would be awarded to
the most deserving of women. A tiny
page in pink and gilt ushered in one
who, after making obeisance to the
go dess, offered their pleas for the
symbol of greatest fame.
The ladies, in splendid gowns APP
propriate to the different personages
represented, entered in the following
order: Louise of Prussia Mrs. +. l..
Stolz); Martha Washington (Miss
Annie SMITH; Sister of Charity Mrs.
G. e. simpson,; Harriet Newell
Na lss who sang Using Ye to the the
Lord" Fanny Fern Miss Eva
Smith,; Rosa Bonheur Miss Greg
ory); Caroline Herrschell miss Alex
ander); Joan dare Miss Helen
Chamberlain); Mother Goose Mrs.
III. CT. Alexander); Hypatia (Mrs. w.
Ogg); Jenny Lind Miss Morris), who
rendered the solo, Better Land";
Mrs. Browning Mrs. H. Laws; Po
Tabitha the Primrose Mrs. III. b.
Bailey, who impersonated the most
numerous character of the evening.
After offering their petitions, the
fair candidates, either grouped them
selves aesthetically around the throne
or recIined gracefully on the marble
(?) stairway. The finale was grand
tableau-the browning of the poetess
Mrs. Browning)-by the goddess.
STRAY sCRIBBLINGs.
Last Saturday morning, the eth
inst, procession of 123 Japs from
Paia plantation might have been seen
trudging along their weary way to the
Court House in Mauka Makawao.
Each was arrayed in his Sunday
(haole) garments, bearing a roll of red
blankets and armed with 4 rod or
stick. Deputy Sheriff Hooking and
handful of police escorted this army of
prisoners, relying more upon their
good nature than upon any force at
the command of the authorities.
The charge against them-desertion
OF labor-was clearly proven, they
having refused to work during the pre-
vious day while two of their country
men were being tried at the same bar
of justice. A group of eight were fret
brought up and convicted, and then
twenty more were fined. The re-
mainder, feeling keenly the pangs of
e hunger Qor it was 2 p. NJ }, gave up
the struggle and agreed TO pay the fine
and TO GO back to work; 1922. 10 was
the sum justly assessed.
All Maui is now organized under
the Union Party platform. There is
