The season OF amusements is
closed for the year, and the public
has had no reason to complain.
There have been entertain ments by
numerous small companies of stroll
lers, of mind readers, circus people
aud Of amateurs. They have come
and passed like meteors, and no one
remembers their names or what they
did. At the close of the season, we
had the glorious races at the Cyclic
mere Park where thousands of peo.
pie gathered to witness the skill and
speed of the visiting bikers and the
town boys. Last but not least we
had the Frawleys, who already
owned a reserved room in the hearts
OF the theatre going. people of Ho-
nolulu.
The season was a success and the
only fault to be found is that it was
much too short. We have however
to be thankful for whatever we get
especially when. it is Of such high
quality as that given by Daniel
Frawley and his clever company.

best wishes for future success, many

None of the special envoys Of the
Hawaiian planters, of the Annexa-
tion Club, or OF Mr.. Dole believe for
a moment that annexation will bring
prosperity to the people of the Ha-
waiian Islands. The men who cry
for closer union with the great Am
erican Republic do 80 for sordid and
selfish purposes. They are stock
gamblers and land speculstors and
they are dreaming day and night of
the financial coup which they un-
doubtedly will be able to make when
annexation comes.

all that YOU require. We
especially recommend that

has won it's way into the affec-

from odor and general utility.
The new stock contain several
improvements, notably one
for the manipulation of the

We call attention also to

"After us the deluge" is their
motto. If the Congress of the
United States should bs sufficiently
shortsighted to adopt policy
fraught with danger and which will
eventually lead to grave complica-
tions, it will simply serve the de-
signs of number of unprincipled
gamblers who, when in the course
OF short time, the "bottom OF Ha-
waii" drops out, will pack up their
few belongings and leave for the re-
gions where their piles, gained

Mr.. Thurston is not especially
noted in his Hawaiian home for his
veracity. To the men who hire him
to lie in Washington and throw dust
in the eyes OF the senators he writes
very cheerfulIy, aud assures them
that the annexation treaty will be
passed not later than the 18th Of
January, 1898, Our dicky- bird, how
ever, picked up a private letter
from MIR, Thurston, in which he

letter he eonfdentially tells his
friend that things could look great
deal worse for Gus" (the annexation

what will happen in politics; that
under NO circumstances can any re-

We have received numerous letters
from parents whose children
frequent the Primary branch of the
High School, and in which we are
sincerely endorsed in our stateme nj
in regard to the poor light of the
school house used. Our attention
is also called to the fact that the
ventilation in the school house is
vile, and the many children COM
plain of headaches and other all
ments. The parents acknowledge
the high qualities OF the teachers
and are loath to make a change of
school. The health and physical
welfare of the young ones must be
be considered, and if the Govern
msnt will insist ia using the present
building, the parents who desire to
give their children the best educa-
tion obtainable here, will feel COM
pelled to let them study at home or
attend private schools. The build
ing should be removed at once, and
suitable school house erected.
Why not use the condemned build
ing as an Office for the Board of
Education and meeting room for
the already specialized Commission
ers. None OF those can ever suffer
from head ache.

Thurston, the leader among the
emissaries, tells the senators in
Washington that the majority of
the Hawaiian people favor annexa-

not annex the islands right away.

TOPICS VI The DAY.

A California paper states that the
resolutions presented to Senator
Pettigrew by q Committee of the
American League, emsnsted from a
native Havaiian organization. This
false impression, wa feel sure, is not
caused by the officers OF the League
who do not desire at any time to sail
under false colors. 1t is simply the
result OF the desire to earn a few
dollars on the part of some unscru-
Pulous correspondent to the yellow
journals.

The lies OF Thurston and bis col
leagues in Was shington have been
found out by the numerous members
of Congress and the intelligent
newspaper men who recently have
visited Hawaii and made personal
Investigations. But the American
taxpayers should realize that there
are matters, which will be of inter
est to them in case of annexation,
and of which they are not told.

The treaty now before the Senate
provides for the assuming by the
United States OF the Hawaiian ma
tional debt, the amount not to ex-
coed 100000. The Hawaiian Gov
ernment now owes over &,500,000,
The Japanese Government demands
an indemnity of 100000 which will
have to be paid. A considerable
amount of damages for outrages
committed on European citizens
during the so called rebellion of
1895, must also be paid. The reason
why delay in the settlement of
these claims has occurred is that
Great Britain does not wish to un-
necessarily embarrass a small power
situated as Hawaii is now and will
make no peremptory demand until
the Hawaiian Legislature meets.

THE TAVERN OF CASTLE CRAG

The Tavern of Castle Crag was built
in the heart of the Sierras, almost at
the foot of Mount Shasta. and amid
the most picturesque mountain scenery
accessible to the tourist The eligibil-
ity of the place selected was due to
rare combination of flowing water, in
spring mountain scenery and inviting
forests.
The Tavern of Castle Crag. with it's
splendid environment. it was believed
would appeal chiefly to those who seek
a sumemr resort for health. recreation,
outdoor sports sympathy with nature
and informal sociability. To empha-
size this intention and signify the kind
of invitation extended, the name TAV-
ERN of Castle Crag was chosen.
To avoid all implication of sumptuOus
accommodations or the tyranny of So
cial Journalism, and to realize this orig
inal conception, the management has
decided to make the Tavern of Castle
Crag distinctively family resort; and
especially attractive to those to whom
health, recreation and sympathy with
nature are paramount considerations.
To this end rooms on the first and sec
ond floors of this splendid taxern with
board will be furnished at a monthly
rate of 500 a person; and rooms on the
third floor with board at monthly
rate of $50 person.
The accommodations of the Tavern
are first class in every particular It's
parlors and halls are elegant and spac-
ious. It's verandas are cool and invit-
ing, placing the guest always in the
/ presence of the most attra active noun
tain scenery to be enjoyed from the
balcony of any tavern in the world.
| The opportunity for outdoor sports
embraces hunting, fishing, riding, b-
| cycling. walking on mountain paths
and driving on picturesque roads The
Tavern is located Immediately on the
main trunk line of the California &
Oregon Railroad, and is fourteen hours
ride from San Francisco, twelve hours
from Stockton, ten hours from Sacra-
mento, thirty hours from Los Angeles
and tWenty-three hours from Portland
The Tavern of Castle Crag is reached
| from San Francisco and Sacramento
without loss of time The train leaves
San Francisco at s o'clock p. m. arriv-
| ing early the following morning for
breakfast, which is always ready upon
the arrival of the train. Returning the
train time affords equal accommoda-
ton. Thus both in going and in COM
| ing the comforts of the passenger and
| the economy of his time have been
studied In brief, the Tavern of Castle
Crag realizes to its guests the perfect
| ideal Of that spring time in the high al
titudes of the Sierras which never be-
comes high summer, and is the COM
| Portable home of pleasing recreation
and restful repose

TECHNICALLY GUILTY.
But rlrs. Ruf Will Not Have to Pay a
Fine

Mrs. Louisa Ruf, who was arrested by
Humane officer Dan Healy on charge
of having beaten her half-sister, An
ME Oester, was arraigned in the Police
Court yesterday morning.
Mrs. Ruff testified that Annie, who is
nearly 16 years old, has lived with her
since Christmas, and that she was of a
saucy and implacable disposition. For
some offense committed on Thursday,
Mrs. Ruf slapped the girl, whereupon
the latter left home, put herself under
the protection of the Children's Society,
and entered complaint against Mrs.
Ruff.
AS Mrs. Ruff was not the legal guar
dian of the girl, Judge Davis thought
she was technically guilty of battery
He, however, did not feel justified in
imposing a fine, and judgment was ac-
cordingly suspended.
1t is understood that the child will
be taken care of in the future by the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Children.
