AGAIN THE CHIGs>S.-Ths fashion
of wearing the hair known as the CHG
non has reappeared 10 London, and
even to some extent in New York. l.
the latter city several women hav.'
been seen lately with their hair done
up in nets.
The chignon was originally in vogue
a few years after the close of the
civil war. 1t is not beautiful fashion,
as may be judged from the fact that the
bair is rolled up into large, unplta'
ant bunch, which is then surrounded
by q net. There is one inducement to
the taking up of this iashion-one ma,
wear somebody else's hair, il one lacks
enough of the real article. 10 the old
DAYS q great deal of false hair YVES
worn in this way. When the mode
prevailed the crinoline was also in
vogue,

The Board of Health.

President Smith presided over
yesterdays meeting OF the Board.
The Maternity Home was voted its
appropriation. Applications from
e. Hammer and E. Dickson for po-
sitions at the Hilo Hospital were
filed. The grievances of Tai Wah
against the sub-inspector for des-
troyiug his fish were referred to a
committee OF one to investigate.
The resignation of j. X. Iosepa as
agent of the Board Of Health on
Maui was accepted
1t was decided that the visit 10
Molokai should take place this even
ing, An informal discussion arose
as to the fees of physicians at the
Hospital for operations, the Presi-
dent property contending that il
chsrgeswere made the amount
should be paid to the Hospital Fund.

Now In Auckland.

Mr.. T. E. Cowart, one OF the
founders Of the Hagey Institute in
Hawaii, writes by the Mariposa to
Mr.. f. Wilburton, telling him that
he and his party are located in
Auckland, and that they have
bright prospects of success in that
city. An institute similar to the
one here was to be opened on the
18th inst, and the founders had al
ready received promises OF an excel
lent patronage.
Mr.. Cowart repudiates the sug-
gestion OF certain Honolulu papers
that ex-detective, ex-spy, ex'junk
dealer, ex-Christian Hawkins, who
skipped the country on the same
boat in which the Hagey people
took passage, has any connection
with them whatever.
Hawkins, who now is known as
Mr.. Muloch, told Mr., Cowart that
he was going to South Africa via
Sydney, to enter into business. He
will probably not be able to find
such a soft jay town in South Africa
as he struck in the Pacific.
Mr.. Cowart sends greetings and
aloha to all his friends here.

a Dark Greeting.

1t was a dreary welcome to the
passengers by the Mariposa and
Aorangi last night. There were no
electric lights either at the Oceanic
or Pacific Mail wharf, and from the
lumber yard at the corner of Fort
street the lumber was in places
scattered in piles on the sidewalk,
without warning lights, and excel
lent stumbling blocks did they make
for the unwary. They manage these
things better in France.

DOUBLE ARRIVALS.
The Mariposa and aorangi Arrive
Almost Together Last Night.

The Mariposa and AorAngi Arrive
Almost Together Last Night.
A little after 8 o'clock last night
the telephone announced the sight
ing Of "foreign steamer" and three
quarters OF an hour afterwards the
sighting Of another foreign steamer
both from the South.
The 6rst to come in past the
lighthouse as the o'clock gun
doomed was the Msriposa followed
nearly two hours later by the
Aorangi.
The Mariposa, Hayward, COM
mander; left Sydney at 4 p. M on
tho 10th, Auckland at 2 p. m. on the
18th, and Apia on the 10th with
fue weather trip. She docked at
the Oceanic wharf which was dimly
lighted with oil lamps and torches
