MAUI, Nov. g." Dead as Chel-
sea-" as the saying is in Boston,
might fttingly be applied to the
recent dullness in Wailuku and
Makawao districts. All interest in
social matters died when the sum-
mer visitor departed. AS to poll
tics, it is stated that only one gen.
tleman on Maui still discusses
them.
In police circles the "minions of
the law" have made their weekly
scoop of opium fiends and petty
gamblers simply this and moth
ing more. To be sure, the deputy
sheriffs have been busy serving
subpenas for attendance at the
next jury term, but this only deep
ems the gloom, for citizens do not
relish a long jaunt to a far corner
of Maui, especially when the great
est good to the greatest number
could be much better rendered by
having both court terms at Wal
luku.
Circuit Judge J. w. Kalua will
conduct trials by jury at Lahaina,
beginning December 4th.
During the 1st inst, DIR. Ray
mond entered upon his duties as
Government doctor and hospital
physician, and thus is ended con-
troversy OF long standing among
Wailuku people, the pros and cons
regarding rival doctors. Both Ray
mond and Armitage had ardent
friends. Both are said to be able
men, hence the controversy and
hence congratulations and regrets.
Among Wailuku teachers there
is some talk of reorganizing their
reading circle, though nothing has
been done up to date. Lahaina
continues to hold weekly sessions.
Makawao and Hama have not been
heard from.
1t seems that the Board of Edu-
cation have adopted to some extent
a method of grading salaries, though
nothing to that effect has been pub
lished. Hence it behooves teachers
to read and study so as to pass bet
ter examinations and thus to in
crease their yearly stipends.
Approps of reading circles, Maka-
wac has recently formed a book
club. Popular books are to be pur-
chased around among the mem
bers, each clubman being allowed
to retain a book two weeks. The
annual fee is to be $50.
Last week H. S. Tregloan, the
Honolulu tailor, visited Wailuku
and Makawao.
Miss Panui, graduate of Mauna-
olu Seminary, is assisting Miss
Martha Beckwith in the Haiku
school.
1t is reported that school teach
ers and other Government employ
ees are no longer exempt from jury
duty.

w. Z. X. Maikai, formerly a
teacher at Keokea, Kula, is now a
policeman at Spreckelsville.
Thomas Kennedy, luna at Paia,

Jack Hair, sugar boiler at Hama

A baseball game between Laha-
ina and Lahainaluna took place at |
the ball ground in Lahaina Novem-
ber 9th. Quite a crowd attended,
and although it was the first game
for two years, some very good play
ing was exhibited. The score was
Lahaina Il, Lahainaluna 10. Dep |

Hayselden umpires. 1t is ex-
pected the return game will be
played on Thanksgiving. There is
a plan to form a Maui league,
