Luau at WaiaIae.

Mr.. VIM. A. Kinney and Mr.. Paul
Isenberg gave luau to Senator Nor
gan and party on Saturday at Waia-
lac. The party consisted of Senator
Morgan, the Misses Morgan, the Misses
Ballou, American Minister Sewall and
Mrs. Sewall, Mr.. S. NJ. Ballou and Mr..
W. N. Armstrong. After the luau, at
the Senator's request, a native climbed
one of the tallest of the cocoanut trees.
A number of the natives on the place,
with their children, wished to see the
great man" from America, and were
introduced to him. The children were
much delighted with the distribution
by the Senator of some small coin
among them, as tokens of the visit,
and intimated that visits with such
productive results would always be
welcome.

Homing Pigeon Association.

Secretary w. c. Weldon of the Hon1-

order on the Doric for IS pairs more
birds. Fifteen pairs of these are from
stock that have been accustomed to
marine flying, and have been bred es-
pecially for the Honolulu association;
the other three pairs are to be old
birds. In addition, Mr.. Weldon is to
receive a mate for his English trained
male bird albion" These are all ex-
pected by the next trip of the Aus
tralia, and will give the home society
30 birds for the foundation of their
breeding lofts and training birds. The
young birds will be let out of loft about
three weeks after their arrival, and

commenced Immediately after their ac-
quaintance with their new surround

sitting in the parlor of their residence
on Friday night until $50, when the
sister retired to her room. The doctor
remained in the parlor for a few min
utes longer, then went to his own room,
removed his coat and began writing a
at quarter to 10 knock was heard
at the front door. The doctor answered
with a who's there"' but there was
no response until minute afterward,
when Miss Smith heard some one at
the door cough and the doctor leave his
room to see what it was. She heard
the blind open, pistol shot and the
fall Of heavy body. Rushing to the
upon the floor with his hands pressed
against his chest. In a second he was
dead.
Directly the shot was fired she heard
a horse galloping up the road There
may have been two, but her anxiety for
her brothers condition at the time
prevented her paying close attention to
the details of anything else: The
neighbors were Immediately called and
the Sheriff and deputies notified, but
owing to the darkness and absence of
any good trailers it was impossible to
get on the track of the fugitives
The bullet entered the body on the
left side, passing through the lung and
heart and lodging midway through the
right lung. Around the bullet hole in
the shirt there were powder marks,
but the cloth was not burned Accord
ing to expert testimony in a recent
murder case in California the murderer
could not have been more than three
feet away, and it is supposed he was
standing close to the house to the left
Of the door. 1t is possible he had been
waiting there for an opportune moment
in which to do his deadly work, and
this came after Miss Smith had retired
to her room to sleep. He apparently
took no chances on detection by the
his horse promptly after committing
the deed, for that reason he waited for
some minutes after her light had been
eXtinguished, and, supposing her to be
asleep, knocked on the door. That he
is some one whose voice is familiar to
the family is evident from the fact

/ hat when the doctor called, in re-
/ sponse to the knock, the man merely
coughed to let him know he was still
! there instead of giving any ineligible
reply. The method of killing is that of
| white man. It certainly shows none
! of the hapdiwork of a native. The
cough at the door even seems too deep
for a native, even though the act itself
may have been inspired by a white
man.
One of the theories advanced yester-
day was that the doctor may have had
the enmity of some of the Asiatics on
the plantation and the murder was the
result But this is hardly probable.
When a Chinaman or a Japanese wants
to get even for a wrong, real or i'm
aginary, he uses a cane knife or a
bludgeon. So far as known, the de-
ceased had no enemies on the island
or anywhere else. He and his sister
have used their private funds in the
School, and in other ways have done
much for the Hawaiians. One rumor
on the streets was that the murderer
was a man, whose wife, a leper, had
been reported by Dr. Smith.
The Government has a record of all
the, firearms on the island. The bullet
taken from the body by Drs. Campbell
and Watt was from 3S-calibre revol-
yer, and it is the intention of the Sher-
iff of Kauai to ascertain, if possible,
the whereabouts of persons carrying
3S-calbre revolvers on the night of
the murder. With the complete rec
ords in the possession Of the Sheriff,
it is possible the murderer may be dis
covered in this way.
About a year ago the engagement
of DR.. Smith to Miss Brewer, formerly
principal of the Punahou Preparatory
School, was announced, and the doc
tor had but finished residence, which
they were to occupy after the wedding,
which was to shortly occur.
