The wet weather contin-

besides wearable goods for
wet days, when ladies find
indoors better than the

It's good weather for
crochetting or sewing--all
you want is the Materials
every lady has the know
how. Iceland wool is the
best you can get for fancy
work of some sorts and Ger
mantown, Saxony and Berlin
for others, each variety you
will notice is named after a
locality; probably all of it
was made in one place.
Bleached linen towels at
$1.75 per dozen is lower
than you ever paid before.
We have others we sell at
$40, but they're better.
White feather stitched
braid in six yard pieces are
reasonably cheap--the as
Soctment is large. We have
figured duck in entirely new
and pretty patterns, always
seasonable and popular. You
know how it wears.
Two other staples this
week which desire special
mention; Bleached and IN
bleached SheetingS from 81

LOVED A GOOD TINE.
Hawaiian Boy VINO Took 1854
From W. r. RoweIFs Office.

From W. r. RoweIFs Office.
Kamaka Palikapu, a young Hawaiian
between II and IS years of age, was
brought up in the District Court yester-
day on the charge of stealing 1884 from
the Office of W. E. Rowell. Superintendent
of Public Works, where he had been en-
ployed. He plead not guilty, and his case
was continued to November Sd.
The story as detailed below will show
the course of events leading up to the
arrest of Kamaka.
Up until October Sd, Mr.. Rowell. who
had a few days previous placed $3.50 in
gold and 81 in silver in the drawer Of
his desk, had seen the money in the po-
sition in which he had originally placed it.
on the Sunday following the amount
was found to be missing and search of
the premises was made for the purpose
of ascertaining how anyone could have
got into the office.
Near the door was a box which indi-
Gated that the thief had crawled through
the transom, and the open window at
the rear told only too well how the thief
had got out.
In the meantime Kamaka was having
a right royal time, spending money here
and there and setting up the drinks for
everyone who happened to come within
a hundred feet of him. In all this care
less spending it was a noticeable fact
that he kept paying for everything in
gold.
The detectives were watching him, and
this circumstantiaI evidence was all they
wanted to place him under arrest i'm
mediateIy, but to get him to confess was
altogether another thing.
He said that about the time of the dis
appearance of the money he had met
drunken man on lonely street, and that
he had gone through his pockets and OBJ
tanned IS while the unfortunate one was
asleep. He added to this that a brother
who held some kind of a cowboys job
somewhere in Waialua had sent him SIS
just for a present.
While Kamaka may be telling the
truth. still the detectives are just little
loath to believe such stories.

TRIP OF EDWARD MAY.
Details OF a Most Pleasant Voy
age From New York City.

The American bark Edward May, c. A.
Johnson master, arrived in port early yes
terday morning, after a fine trip from
New York, with 1900 tons of general mer-
chandise, including 10000 cases of kero-
sene oil, consigned to c. Brewer & Co.
Following is Captain Johnson's report of
the voyage: The Edward May left New
York on May 18th, bound for Honolulu.
When a week out the vessel was found to
be leaking Put back to Boston, arriving
June 18th. Found the leak in the stem
and pushed repairs as fast possible.
Finished repairs and sailed on July Sd,
arriving and coming to an anchor in
Nantasket Roads on the same day, owing
to thickness of fog. Left again on July
9Th and crossed the equator in the Allan
tic in 27 deg. W. lon, August 9TH. Passed
east end of Cape st. John September 8th
and rounded Cape Horn on the 9Th. Ex-
perienced unusually fine weather here,
with smooth sea and wind mostly from
the east. Crossed the equator in the Pa
cific in 125 deg. 80 min. w. lon., September
18th. Made the Island of Maui at day
light on October 2Sth, and hove to off
Koko Head at 10 p. on the same day,
arriving in port early on the morning of
the 18th.
C. A. Johnson was captain of the bark
Mohican just before resuming the po-
sition of master of the bark Edward May
on her present trip, and has been sailing
to this port for the last forty years. In
all he has been thirteen years on the
Edward May. Besides having been mas
ter of the two vessels already mentioned,
he has served in the same capacity on
the Amy Turner, and long time ago on
the American ship Raduga Syren.
The Edward May is at Brewers wharf
and has begun discharging already.

COMEDY OF JANE.

Reh@assaIs Progressing SatisfaG'
Features to DC introduced.
The comedy of Jane" to be performed
at the Opera House, is one of the best
society comedies that has been staged in
years. Under the Frohmans it had
run of over 300 nights at the Standard
Theater, New York, and throughout the
States crowded houses were the rule.
The constant and intensely gratifying
results of the rehearsals by the local
company will assure a finished perform
ance when the play is produced here.
Each member of the company, whether
the part to be played be small or i'm
portant, takes the same deep interest in
the study of the situations as if he or she
was the only person to appear. From this
it may be taken that under Mr.. SCOTS
direction the play in Honolulu will COM
pare favorably with the production in the
United States. The appearance of profess
SIGNALS in any play over the water is
mere episode in their careers as actors
and actresses, but with amateurs it be-
comes the most important event in their
lives, hence the perfection with which
the Jane company in Honolulu will ap-
pear in the play.
The music for the comedy is arranged
so that as the curtain rises the orchestra
plays THE Bloom Is On the Rye" but
pleasant addition to this has been ar
ranged by Messrs. Levers and Scott.
When Jane CNrs. +DimondO makes her
entrance on the stage in the first act
she will sing the song:
My pretty Jane, my pretty Jane,
l.
But meet me, meet me in the evening
