MAUI, Sept. 21.-John Kalama,
Esq, one of the leading natives
and most prominent lawyers of
Maui died at his residence in Ma
kawao, Friday morning, Septem-
Der Goth. During the same after
noon funeral obsequies were OBJ
served at the Pookela church, the
services being conducted by Rev.
S. Kapu of Waikiki, assisted by
DR.. E. G. Beckwith of Paia, Rev.
Nawahine Of Waihee, and Rev.
Kuia of the Paia native church.
Circuit Judge J. w. Kalua delivered
the eulogy and the Maunaolu Sem
mary girls sang the hymns. There
was very large gathering of natives
and foreigners at the ceremony.
Mr.. Kalama was born in Pelehu,
Kula, in 1858. He was educated
at Lahainaluna and studied medi-
cine under DR.. Judd, the father of
the Chief Justice. Afterwards he
studied law with Kaholokahiki of
Honolulu and has practiced for
years on Maui. At one time he
was district magistrate of Maka-
wac. He was leader in religious
matters. Some fourteen or fifteen
years ago he travelled the entire
group of islands as an evangelist,
having been reused to action by
Hallenbeck.
Among the thirty-six Maui peo-
pie on board the last Claudine were
a large number of teachers-Misses
Zeigler, Smith and Leonard of
Maunaolu Seminary; Benjamin
Kahoopai of the Hama school, z.
McKeague, recently appointed to
the Keokea (Kula) school, Misses
Malone and Turner of the Wal
hee school, Louis Mideiros
of the Ulupalakua school,
Misses Nape and Kiuwa of the
Makawao school, and a number of
others.
During Sunday afternoon, the
18th, just as the Claudine was sail
ing around Waihee point, return
ing to Kahului, a carrier pigeon
arrived with the news that all the
passengers were landed on Cocoa
nut Island and were in quarantine
there. The steamer departed that
same afternoon for Honolulu with
the mail and several passengers,
among whom were Judge and Mrs.
Frear, Mrs. C. NJ. V. Forster and
Miss Mist.
1t is reported that DR.. Maraura,
who was formerly Japanese ply
stefan at Waikiki and who recently
left Maui for his native cnuntry,
died of cholera three days after
landing in Japan.
Maunaolu Seminary recently
numbered but twenty-five girls on
its record. The absence in quar-
antine of three of its teachers is
the cause of this meagre attend
ance.
The new Kaupakalua school of
Makawao district has about eighty
pupils in attendance.
During Saturday, the 18th, a
horse fell with Roy Woodward, of
the Haiku ranch, resulting in the
fracture of Woodward's collar
bone. This accident will lay the
young man up for several weeks.
On the same day at Hamakua-
poke a native, becoming entangled
in some chains, was violently
bitten by a mule just above the
heel. It is reported that the ami
NAL held on like bull terrier and |
only released his grip after repeat
ed thrusts with a knife-blade into |
the roof of his mouth.

ing from Honolulu agreed to pay,
in addition to the usual fare, So

a dancing party was given by Mr..
and Mrs. B. D. Baldwin of Kalua-
nui as a farewell to Messrs. Will
liam, Arthur and Frank Baldwin,
who expect to return to Yale by

passed most pleasantly to the
strains of good music, dancing
ceasing at about II p. m.
