Maui Funny ways.

Jne pecu1arltle5 OF JHe FlILuOuS
gentleman who, under the egis OF
Henry Baldwin, presides at the judi
cial organ in the Wailuku court
house. We mean the learned dis
trict judge, Mr.. Helekunihi
This gentleman, however, is not
the only funny" man in the said
courthouse. Mr.. Baldwin had seen
fit to put another OF his pets in Of
fee, and Sheriff Andrews does the
executive business, while Helekunihi
attends to the judicial affairs.
The two branches, in fact the two
pets, quarrel occasionally, and then
the rest Of King Baldwin's subjects
lie back aud watch the fur fly. The
other day the red czar" told the
judge 10 court that he considered
his honor an imbecile, that he was
esteemed in tina, category by the
whole government, aud that any
five-year-old boy knew more law
than the gentleman in the judiciary
chair Of Wailuku. The cause Of
this ebullition was that the judge
had been unable to accept the evil
dence presented by the sheriff in
certain swipe cases and had acquitted
the defendants. The judge listened
patiently to the TRADE OF the sheriff.
He might have locked him up for
contempt OF court, and probably in
tended 10 do so; but when he heard
the final shot Of ths czar telling
him that he never, never would
prosecute in the Wailuku court
any more, he got so happy that he
ignored the insults offered to him by
the autocrat OF Wailuku.
The next day, however, the court
was surprised by finding the sheriff
in the courtroom and ready to
prosecute a man charged with as
sault. With sarcastic smile the
Judge reminded the sheriff Of his
avowed intention not to prosecute
before the "imbeciie" court, but Mr..
Andrews did the old trick, and as
the Hawaiians say, Hoi hou ka paakai
1 Wnimen.
The sheriff, by the way, has had
birthday. Although he has felt
very fiat since the health committee
OF Maui refused him permission to
land and forced him to spend more
than twenty days on Cocoanut Isl
and, near Hilo, be wasn't going to
let his birthday go by, and beauti-
full gold star was presented 10 him
by his police officers was com
mented on by prominene SaiIuku
citizens that the very day of the
presentation Of the golden badge
one OF the festive donators had hia
wages garnisheed for falling to pay
his just debts. 1t is stated, however,
that the golden badge is not hand. .
some enough to be displayed, and .
that the broad chest Of ths czar
consequently is not ornamsnted and .
"set in gold"
The road from Kahuui TO Wal.
luku is in a first class condition and .
has cost the taxpayers tearly 5000. .
1t has been source OF gnersl sa5is-

has been built, but for certain pri- .
vate reasons the chairman Of the
road board proposes I'd build sn.
other road mauka OF tie railroad .
track, which is absolutely unnsces-
sary, and which will cot, at least,
four thousand dollars. But certain .
private interests will be served, and /.

Honolulu, Oct. S5, 1896.

"a most serious manner during
the late epidemic Of what vital
Importance pure water is to all
human beings. While our me-
dical men have differed in Opt
Mon in regard to the nature
and treatment of the epidemic
which now fortunately is ended,
there has only been one opinion
in regard to the imperative
necessity of having an am
pie supply Of pure water
for all purposes. In Homo
lulu the water supply is now
plentiful both for drinking pur-
poses and for irrigation. The
same cannot be said for the
country districts. In many
places it is necessary for the in
habitants to carefully save rain
water i'll tanks especially. where
artesian wells are impossible.
1t has been great help to
people living in the country
that we have introduced the
celebrated Aermotor in these
islands. Many people have
availed themselves of the golden
opportunity to purchase one of
our galvanized Aermotors, and
they have in all instances ex-
pressed themselves as highly
satisfied with the bargain.
The Aermotor is especially
appreciated because it runs in
the lightest wind. Being geared
back three to one, it starts with
only a third Of the load that the
ordinary mill has to contend
with. This enables it to start
and run in q zephyr so light
that all competitors stand idly
by. Again, its lightweight and
perfect bearing enable it to face
up to and get the full benefit of
the breeze. The wheel is so
light and its efficiency so great
that it is an absolute calm in
deed which induces it to stand
still.
The lightweight of the Aer-
motor is a strong point in its
favor. The weight affects the
cost Of transportation; the ease
Of handling and erection; the
facility Of turning on the tower
TO face the wind for work; the
regulation for safety in a high
wind; the recovery of working
position when danger is past;
the sagging of the tower out of
shape; the vibration and break
ing of the tower in a storm
and consequently the weight.
strength and cost of tower and
foundations. The Aermotor
only weighs about two-fifths as
much as the other mills which
do the same work. The great
in weight is in part
made possible by the use of
steel, malleable iron, and the
very best materials throughout,
and explains why so excellent a
piece Of work can be turned out
at so low a price.
We invite farmers and others
who have use for an Aermotor
to call in at our stores, or write

AS a Judge our wise men have
selected Mr.. j. Alfred Magoon.
The new judge looked handsome
this morning in brand new suit OF
white duck when he opened the
November term OF the Circuit
Court. He is certainly very sty-
lish Judge, and even If he doesn't
know much law it ought to be re-
membered that he is very studions
and willing, we have no doubt, to
consult Frank Judd at all times.

Judge Magoon, however, we are
told is only temporary judge. A..
W. Carter is undoubtedly the man
intended for the job, but unfortun-
ately he had prepared all the cases
for this term, and even under the
republic it would hardly look we'll
for a mau to prosecute cases before
himself. We may come to it by and
by, but at present the public had
not been educated up to tolerate a
judge as prosecutor or vice versa,
although it may have had already
some experience in that direction.

What does it all meant Why is
it that Hatch and Magoon don't
give up their private Offices but pro-

it possible that the two gentlemen
expect to find use for their desks in

tell. But we think that the latest
