Georgia Magnet,

Few things advertised in this
country have ever been 80 exactly
carried out as the programme of
deeds to be done by the little lady
whose name is usually known as
Annie May Abbott The committee
which examined the performances
and took part in the tests are as
follows; Jos. Marsden, A. G.. S.
Halves j b. Ath-rtou, j. Murt Dat,
S. g. Wilder, w E Row-ll, J. Cas-
sidy, G. Motley. Sr., ; E. Bishop, r.
Ryrrof', G. b. Wood, A. Herbert, q.
Rodgers aud ~. q. B llantyne. The
performances of the little lady (who
does not weigh one hundred pounds
iii holding chairs, sticks, etc, against
the full force of men who weigh
probably two hundred to three
hundred pounds apiece, not by
clutching hut by simple placing of
the open haud-k-pt open against
the article to be moved was simply
marvellous. The keeping of chill
dren on the floor when attempted to
he lifted by the strongest men in
the audience was astounding. 1t
may, of course, be explained by
physical force, but to outsiders it
looks as it the claim OF electric
power was sust ainet when a small
aud apparently feeble young woman
can lift a man weighing over two
hundred pounds, chair and all, by
not touching him but by simply
putting her open hands against the
rungs of the chair, then it seems as
though something more than mere
jugglery was concerned. When a
little lsdy-under hundred pounds
can move a stick held down by six
men-al big aud heavy--and a
seventh sitting on top OF their hands
aud the stick aud none of them, al
hough DESTROYS, can prevent her
there is something mysterious. One
of the most remarkable features in
the entertainment was that Miss
Abbott could not be lifted-whether
standing on one or both heels-un-
less she wished; neither could any
child be lifted whether on or off the
stag, except by her permission.
Tru" it is that many explain these
thipgs-but they don't do them.
The audience last night recognized
the wonder by rising every time to
see how'll possible-the thing was
done. Tonight he audience ought
to be greater; for of all permauces in
Honolulu previously this comes up
to exactly What the play bills call for.

A Big catchP

Some OF the great sleuths OF the
Republic went out gunaing for
opium last night. They had a
straight tap and knew that 700 tins
would be brought to town hidden
in barrels of poi. The Chinaman
with his poi came up to time and
the sleu hs were there. They wal
lowed in the poi. They Owed into it
aud searched it with minutest care.
Their efforts were rewarded. The
first three barrels examined con-
tanned only poi. In the fourth bar
rel one tin was discovered and that
contained molasses another sell.

The French dinner to be given at
the Hawaiian Hotel tomorrow
night has been selected with special
care by Mr.. Lucas. The expected
arrival of four ocean steamers
during the day with large passenger
lists makes it advisable for local
residents who desire to enjoy the
menu, the music, and the at er-du-
ner dance to order seats in advance.
The game tomorrow between the
Stars and the Unknowns will he of
unusual interest. A very large
audience will occupy the stand and
undoubtedly will devotedly hope
that tinshorns and unnecessary
noise will be at discount. There
is chance that the three clubs will
tie in the contest for the champion,
ship OF the season. II that should
happen the decisive game will be a

HOLY GHOST OWNERSHIP.
Marshal Hitchcock Settles Troubles
in the POrtuguesa Colony.


The latest incident in connection
with the Holy Ghost, celebrated by
the Portuguese, occurred last Monday
night at the end of Queen street, in
the midst of the Portuguese settle
ment.
Enshrined in an unpromising look
ing shanty, and set on a beautiful
pedestal, was a silver crown known as
the Holy Ghost. The Portuguese
society owning the Holy Ghost had
placed it in the hands of the owner of
the house to be kept three weeks and
then passed on to another member.
In the society there exists con-
siderable rivalry between members
of the different cliques. Not being
pleased at the possession by others
of the coveted crown, a representative
Of an opposing clique made bold to
step forward and assert ownership.
This did not please the guardian, who
refused to accede to any inducements.
Finding the owner firm, the opponent
called at the police station and swOre
out a warrant against the guardian,
asserting therein his right of owner
ship.
"a pOlICSLudA was SChU OuL olOCA ChO
man, who refused absolutely to give
up the Holy Ghost, protesting all the
while that the office of guardian had
been granted him by the society to
which he belonged. The. policeman
returned and reported but was sent
out again. This time the man was
brought to the police station.
The answers given were such that
Marshal Hitchcock thought personal
investigation proper. A squad of
thirty policemen repaired to the scene.
Investigation proved that the So
ciety in possession was owner of the
Holy Ghost and that the man in
whose house it was enshrined was the
proper guardian.
Marshal Hitchcock allowed the
crown to stay where it was but called
for $3.50 as bond. This was collected
from the Portuguese present, who
seemed extremely willing to share the
burden. The excitement settled down
in very short time and Portuguese
devotees continued to visit and wor-
ship the Holy Ghost.

Cricket Yesterday.

For some reason or other only
six of the men from the U. S. S.
Philadelphia Cricket Club appeared
on the ground yesterday. So sides
were picked from among the crick-
eters on the field, and en- agreeable
game was played. A. R. Hatfield
was captain of one side and A. ST.
Chad Piianaia that of the other.
The side chosen by Hatfield carried
the day, owing, no doubt, to the
good bowling Of Wardell, of the
Philadelphia, and Hatfield of the
Honolulu Cricket Club, who also
made very large score for his
own side.
