makee Cummins, in honor of the
charming bride and groom, Mr.. and
Mrs. Steven @. o. King. 1t was an
invitation affair, decidedly "swag-
GER" and was given at the Kealia
hotel which was beautifully decor
ated for the occasion. Music, both
instrumental and vocal, was furnished
by the Kealia glee club, a local
organization OF natives during the en-
tire supper, after which the whole
party repaired to the Kealia social
hall and danced the old year out.
Another very pleasant gathering
was held at this hall Thursday even.
ing, January 10th, on which occasion
an impromptu dance was given in
honor Of Mr.. Geo. III. Paris and his
charming young bride, who made q
heal1a, as guests OF Chief Engineer
William cassie.
Mrs. Paris winsome manners and
agreeable personality made a most
favorable impression upon all with
whom she came in contact, and she
will always meet with a cordial well
come from the people Of Kealia.
Friday evening, January 18th, Mr..
and Mrs. A. X. Weir entertained q
large number Of their friends at din
ner in honor of their daughter, Mrs.
AbriD w. Keech; the occasion being
the anniversary of her birthday. The
floral decorations were very pretty
and the occasion an exceedingly en-
joyable one.
Kappa is soon to have q complete
system of water works. A long felt
want which will be thoroughly appre-
ciated by her residents, who have suf-
fered very great inconvenience and
sickness from lack Of pure water.
Two of her enterprising citizens, Mr..
f. J. Morgan, chief carpenter of the
Makee Sugar Company, and Mr.. Chop
Tin, merchant OF Kappa, have secured
natural spring of pure, sparkling
water within half mile of Kapaa.
They will erect q wind mill pumping
plant, with q 10,0O0-gallon tank at
the spring, and lay a 4-inch main
from it to Kappa, from which connec-
ton to each residence will be made.
All the material including the
wind mill and tank are on the
ground, and the work will be pushed
to completion as rapidly as possible.
The rates to be charged each family
for the water are so exceedingly mod
crate that all those living in the dis
trict are eager to avail themselves of
it, and yet are sufficient to insure a
moderately profitable investment for
the projectors.
The detention at Honolulu of the
regular steamers that ply between
that port and those of this island, for
the week just past, was the cause OF
some apprehension and anxiety among
all classes here. All sorts of conjec-
lures were made, and various reasons
advanced IN apc0unt for the lOnQ-cOu-
tinued and ominous silence. By Fri
day night there was but one construc-
ton to be placed upon the very I'M
usual occurrence, which cast gloom
over the entire community. The ar
rival Saturday morning OF the Mika-
hala, with the mails, was q great
relief to everybody, although the sad
and startling news she brought caused
not so much of surprise as of sorrow.
The prevailing and often emphatically
expressed sentiment of the majority of
the community of this section Is, that
the Government will deal prompt and
firm justice to the leaders in this ter
rible affair.
The mills have been running con-
tinuously, and there are over 5000 bags
of sugar awaiting shipment at Kappa.
The weather during the past week
has been stormy-coDtinuous, though
gentle, rains and southerly winds pre-
vailing, which shifted round to the
north east during Sunday night, blow
ing a stiff gale, with intermittent rain
squalls.
The general public health of this
section is good.
The infan ut daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
George Mundon, OF Kapaa, died on
Friday, January 18th.
