Circus Last Night.

The tent was crowded last night
by persons who expected it would
be the last performance and who
wanted to see Mr.. Wirth in the
leaping act. Owing to lack OF
practice ON Mr.. Wirths part, Lahl
Sing won by couple of breadths,
that is, two horse breadths.
Throughout the show was a good
one. Little Muriel repeated the
serpentine dance most gracefully
and received hearty applause.
Owning to the non arrival OF the
steamer, Mr.. Wirth feels justified
in giving one more performance,
on Saturday night. He dislikes to
have the people think that the
farewell performances" are merely
catch-penny advertisements and
trusts the people will understand
that he has had no hand in delay
ing Ogura IL Co.'s steamer due
week ago.
The Saturday night program will
be made up entirely of novelties,
and Mr.. Wirth will retaliate on
Mr.. Cameron for having him Jump
against Lahl Sing, by assigning
him to an act on the program.
Just what it will be has not been
decided; last night he was con-
sidering the advisability of having
Cameron do an act on the fying
trapeze while one of the horses
would be made to run around the
ring. The finale would come bv
Cameron turning. a double somer-
sault in the air, landing on the
horses back.

The Peculiar Results of a Raid
Last Night.
CHINESE CAPTURE THE POLICE
Attempt to Raid Gamblers Ends by
Their Raiding the Ohicers-A Dep
uty and Three Police Held-One
Chinaman Shot and One dubbed.

The police authorities at Moku-
LEILA got into very unpleasant
situation last night while making
a raid on some Chinese gamblers
Acting upon information re-
ceived Deputy Sheriff Andrew Cox
and a number of native policemen
and specials, constituting in all a
posse about eight men, went to the
house of a native woman by the
name of Kakau, whose premises
adjoin those of Gaspar Silva's rice
plantation. AS expected, they
found several Cinnamon gambling
and the house was Immediately
surrounded.
The Cinnamon, learning of the
presence of the officers, made their
escape out the back way and
started on a run toward the large
plantation house. Three officers
gave chase. The Cinnamon called
for help and Immediately there
came pouring out of the house,
enough Cinnamon to make very
unpleasant party of forty or more.
The officers were attacked, and
in self-defense they opened fire.
One Chinaman received a bullet in
the leg. Another was dubbed over
the head. The Cinnamon then
turned in and overpowered the
officers, and made them prisoners.
The Deputy Sheriff, hearing the
shooting, ran up to. find out the
cause, and was also made prisoner.
Mr.. Silva went over to see If he
could get the Sheriff and his men
away, but the Cinnamon were in a
very ugly mood and said they
would not give up the men until
the arrival of DR.. Reid, who had
been sent for. DIR. Reid resides at
Waialua.
The Cinnamon were warned that
if the officers were in any way in
jured they would have to suffer.
Mr.. Silva telephoned the ADvER
TIsER at midnight, and in response
to a question said he could get the
officers away with the help he had,
but there was too much danger at
tached to such an undertaking so
long as the Cinnamon were waiting
for the Dhysician.
At 1890 this morning DIR. Reid
arrived and was conducted to the
Chinese quarters and examined the
mans wounds. Shortly afterwards
the deputy sheriff and the police
men were released. Their revolvers
had been taken from them by the
Cinnamon when they were cap
tured. Arrests will be made to-
day as the Chinese were attacked
without cause, and they will have
the officers arrested. The deputy
sheriff remarked, after being re-
leased, that the officer had no right
to shoot.

new
1t is nothing less than a bath house
entirely different from anything ever

barest and most uncomfortable of
shelters Is to be transformed into a
luxurious apartment.
The house is of unusually large size
for one that stands upon wheels. It

The interior is brilliant with colored
upholstery, silver toilet articles and
mirrors. The wall hangings and door
curtains are in red Turkish sail cloth

ished off with ball fringe. The ceiling
is draped with the cloth in an artistic
manner and on thes wall the mono

coronet, is to be seen.

large dressing table, and washstand.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
The Waitress and Her AppareI-Care
of Wooden Floors

The waitress should be of good height
and of trim figure with a pleasing
smile, for nothing is more forbidding
and chilling than to be met at the door
by grumpy wished-you'd d-staid- home
maid, and it almost makes one feel he
might not be welcome by the hostess.
Unless one is bright and pleasant she
should not be chosen to fill this position
in the household.
In the HOUSEHOLDS where everything
Is quite up to date, according to Vogue
a waitress, before 2:30 or 3 p. M,
should appear in frock wash mater
ial. 1t should be simply but neatly
made, without trimmings, and noisless
shoes (prunelle shoes with very low
heels) should be worn. white apron,
white collar and a small three corned
cap, with a colored bow of ribbon to
match the frock or one of black velvet
ribbon are preferred.
After p. m. waitress should be
dressed in perfectly plain frock of
black mohair, but most trim and well
fitted, white linen turned over collar
and cuffs, white apron and cap The
aprons are now made to reach within
about eight inches of the bottom of the
skirt and are less full than is a nurses
apron. These aprons are susceptible of
much trimming, tucks and embroidery
The English waitress cap is less often
seen here, and so Is desirable on that
account. It is larger than those univer-
