A FIREBUG ABROAD
Two Attempts Made to
Set Fire to Buildings.
Aliona's Property at Corner Of
PunchbowI and Queen Streets
Seems to Be in Danger.

At about midnight Saturday two
fire to the frame buildings on the Maui
ka corner of Queen and Punchbowl
streets, just opposite the Kawaiahao
burying grounds In the back of the
building, directly on the street, are
other smaller ones, together with
row of outhouses. The story, as told
by an old native woman living on the
premises, is as follows:
we had all retired for the night, and
it must have been about midnight,
when a native woman, living in the
large building on the street, who had
gone out into the yard, discovered
smoke in one of the outhouses. She
gave the alarm, and several of us
rushed out. We found that two holo-
kus, loosely wrapped, had been placed
in the clubhouse and set on fire by
some unknown person. These were
pulled out and the fire eXtinguished.
I'VE retired again to our rooms, and
had not been there 10 minutes when
We rushed out and found that vol
umes of smoke were issuing from
back room of the main building in the
back. This was not 20 feet away from
the place where the first fire was start
ed. Some one ran into the room, and
there upon a small table was a bundle
of four or five hOlokus, pair of trOus-
ers and other articles of clothing en-
veloped in a mass of flames. 1t did not
take along to eXtinguish these, but it
did take us good while to get to sleep
again.
''These buildings are the property of
a Chinaman by the name of Aliona
who has a store on the corner. Who
could have made the attempt to set
the place on fire is more than [ know.
In fact, no one around here seems to
know anything about it. l have an
idea, however, that it must have been
done by some one bearing a grudge
against Aliona. [ do not believe it was
a Chinaman, nor do | believe that a
woman did it. The clothes and hOlOkus
found on fire in the clubhouse were the
property of Manaole, a native woman
living in the upper story of the large
house in the back"

Art Exhibition Over.

The exhibition of the Kilohana Art
League has come to an end, but not
without the deepest regret on the part
of the art-loving people of Honolulu,
who were beginning to appreciate the
true merit of the works displayed. 1t
can be safely said that here were three
times as many people present during
the days of the exhibition, which has
just passed, than at any previous.
From this showing there are certain
conclusions to be drawn, among which
are the higher standard of the works
of art on exhibition and the increase
in growth of the artistic spirit among
the people of Honolulu.
The KilOhana Art League started out
very modestly, increased its member
ship gradually by picking out people
sure to add something of value to the
organization, and by hard work has
laid for itself foundation never to
be shaken.

DIR. RODGERS SPEAKS.
His Name Not to be Used as Author
ity for Night School Statement.

Ity for Night school statement.
MR.. EDITOR:-The statement made
editorially in last nights Bulletin that
the last meeting of the Board of Edu-
cation that appeared in that paper on
Friday was, in some way, derived
from or based upon information fur
and myself is, so far as am concerned,
as destitute of truth as was the or
iginal romance.
The attempt to make me RESPONSE
bic for the statement that the proceed
ings related in Fridays Bulletin really
happened and that the speech therein
attributed to Mr.. LightfOOt was really
made by that gentleman, only at an
other time and place, namely, on the
occasion of a visit of members Of the
Board to the Night School, is as foolish
as it is false, and as malicious as it is
foolish. 1 never made any such state
ment or any other statement of what
took place at a visit of members of the
Board to the Night School, and for the
simple reason that never heard of any
such visit, and, so far as l know or
have any reason to believe, no such
visit ever took place
The Bulletin owes it to itself, as
we'll as to the other parties concerned,
to produce the member of its staff to
whom these statements are alleged to
have been made. l would very much
like to have an interview with that
person in the presence of responsible
witnesses. Very respectfully,
