ReoimentaI Drill.

The First Regiment, N. G.. H, was
drilled on the parade grounds in front
of the drill shed last night, Colonel
Fisher commanding. There were but
very few absent, and there must have
been nearly 400 men in line-a fine
turnout The marching in column of
tours, platoons and in companies, was
good. A large number of people wit
messed the drill.
Two or three of the officers from the
Japanese man-of-war Naniwa were
close observers of the different move
ments.
Quite a number of the men went to
the drill shed without guns, trusting
to luck to find some when they got
there. The result was that some had
to go home for their arms, causing a
delay.
Majors Jones and Mccarthy make
two excellent battalion commanders
Their commands are plain and decis-
i've.
Company BIS marching was a feat
ure favorably commented upon by
many of the onlookers.

YOUNG THIEVES.
Break Into the House of E. b.
Thomas.

Break Into the House of E b.
Thomas.
By this morning there will be II
small boys in Jail for breaking into the
house of E. B. Thomas and taking
therefrom lot of small articles, among
which were a lot of gold buttons,
taken from a military coat in a trunk.
1t was learned that Manuel Vasconcel-
los was the one who did this part of
the job. The boys went into the house
on Tuesday, Wednesday and Wednes-
day night. Entrance was effected by
means Of breaking one of the panes of
glass and turning the key from the in
side. The boys have all confessed to
the crime and seem to think that they
had done no wrong. 1t was more of a
joke than anything else.
Some interesting facts have cropped
out in connection with the arrest OF
Vasconcellos. When he was arrested
he gave the name of Manuel Medeiros
a young man who is now doing time on
the reef for breaking into Walkers
bicycle agency.
Later he confessed that his name
was Vasconcellos and that about three
months ago he had broken into the
Thomas house and stolen a lot Of plates
and other articles.

Hawaiian lady has just given to the
place of Miss Anna Paris on the PENN
sula. 1t is quiet, restful spot, where
people, tired out from the busy whirl
of the weeks business, can retire for a
day or so. The scenery is beautiful and
the air cooler by far than those of the
