seized the Japanese in Kona Ha-
wall and some startling reports
were brought down by the Malu-
lani. On the Sd inst, there was a
free fight at Keel in South Kona.
The result was one killed, one
wounded and a policeman seri-
ously injured: Eleven japanese
took part in the battle and have
all been arrested. John Gaspar
Portuguese, has been commit
ted for trial by the magistrate at
Hookena on a charge of having
instigated the row. Two police of
ficers have been arrested for as
sault with a dangerous weapon
and will be tried shortly.
At another place in Kona on
the 4th inst, a japanese named
Nishimoto Truro murdered Ja-
anese police officer in the employ
Of the Naalehu plantation. The
murderer was a deserted contract
laborer and when found by the
officer resisted him using an AK
with which he finally crushed
the skull Of the officer killing
him insiantaneously. He was
captured by two natives and
brought to Honolulu yesterday
When confronted with the rem
nants Of his victim. he confessed
his guilty. -Four japanese who
witnessed the killing, were bro
ught to town for safe-keeping.

Rine and Upripe Bananas.

Whether for shipment or for home con-
sumption the fruit is cut as soon as it is
tulip that is, when it has reached it's
adult form and size, but it is still quite
green. The plant is cut off by single
blow of machete welded by powerful
arm. AS it falls the bunch is caught,
Topped off, and laid aside, while the har-
yester goes on to the next bunch. 1t is
a popular supposition that bananas
"ripened on the tree" are incomparab bly,
superior to those cut green. But as a
matter of fact one never eats them thus
ripened in Jamaica. They are said to be
not so good; at all events one finds no
better fruit in texture or flavor than
the best of our own markets. But
every lover of this fruit knows that it's
quality varies extraordinarily as it is
offered to us. This is due partly to the
different sources from which it comes.
The best that is brought to us comes
from Jamaica. 1t is also due still m re
to the condition of the fruit when cut.
Bananas which are perfectly full will
ripen mellow ana delicious but those cut
when immature, as too many are, will
turn yellow, yet never truly ripen, re-
tanning always their hard texture and
unripe taste. In Jamaica, as elsewhere,
the competition of buyers leads the I'M
scrupulous ones to accept fruit of any
sort, even when totally .unf1+; and this
sort of competition makes all the more
unavaiIing the efforts of honest buyers
to raise the standard and to teach the
people to withhold their fruit until it
is properly developed. Americans can
give moral support to these efforts by
accepting only such fruit as is mature,
at any price a d iietie pans WIZ soon soon
poor fruit, though it is difficult to give a
general statement of the distinctive
differences. But, as "a rule. it will be
found that bananas which are largest,
deepest yellow and least angular are the
most mature and st.-From Where

A petition is being circulated asking
the city council to build bridge across
the Presumpscot from the City hall lot.
1t is being generally signed as Westbrook
citizens are beginning to realize that
such bridge would be great benefit to
every section of the city. If necessary
the City hall can wait a few years, but
the bridge should be built at once.
There is large crew at work on the
interior of St. Haycinth's parochial
school, which the contractor guarantees
to complete by June. In the building is a
fine hall 51x75 feet, which will be ready
for occupancy by April, when the society
will hold fair.
