In my last letter the statement was
made that this visit would not occur
until the last week of this and the first
of next month: but as it's the "uneX-
pected that happens" no surprise was
shown when the question was brought
up and, after an animated debate in
both houses, agreed upon. Unlike the
visits in former years, the one this year
will not cost the state SO many thousand
dollars. The disposition TO economic
was first manifested in the house, but
vigorously antagonized in the senate.
An agreement was finally reached, how
ever, and this year the members will
not draw to exceed three cents per mile
for actual distance travelled, and not
more than three dollars per day for the
time consumed in making the trip. No
outsiders will be allowed in the party,
except the secretary of the senate and
clerk of the house. Heretofore ten cents
per mile has been the allowance Of
mileage, and the trips have been Junk

Mr.. EDIToR:-Having seen some

the most noble and princely pro
phet OF Wailuku, Maui. l wish to
tell the public something OF one OF
his disciples who lives at Pukoo,
MoIokai. \ few months ago a
native man and woman were mar
ried. and Immediately after they
left the priests house the woman
took the steamer Mokolii for Homo
lulu and has not returned or writ
ten a letter TO her new husband.
About a week ago a blind boil
appeared on the husbands face
He went 10 Lukela's disciple TO ask
her advice, but she said that he
must first give her half a gallon Of
whiskey In order to insure a speedy
cure. The man, being poor, told
her that he had no money but
she told him that he could not be
cured unless the spirits were forth
coming, whereupon the man sold
everything he had TO procure the
panacea. When the disciple had
the whiskey safely slowed away,
she told the suffering husband that
the house was no good because his
wife had gone away, and If he did
not want to die soon he had better
leave the house altogether, after
which his face would get better.
He left the house, and now he is
wandering about the island in
search OF a divorce.
