AS Denvers is Colonial, the British
Consul escapes and the interim to mail
is filled in with glittering generalities.
On one occasion Denvers ran his TRADE

day following his news day. Church

ANOTHER MURDER.
Brutal Killing of a Chinese Woman
on Maui.

Brutal Killing of Chinese Woman
on Maui.
What is little more than the barest
Iadvices, were brought by steamer yes
terday of another murder on Maui
This was near Wailuku and a Chinese
woman was the victim. Four other
killings reported recently have been
|among Japanese.
The husband of the woman had
gone about his work early in the morn
ing, he being a fisherman On return
ing to the cabin near the beach in the
afternoon he found the dead body of
his wife outside, stretched to it's full
length. The skull had been broken
either with club or stone.
The authorities were quick to act
but up to the time the steamer left had
no clue as to the guilty person. An
inquest was being held by the coroner
when the mail closed. Quite naturally
other Chinese were suspected.
Marshal Brown said last evening he
was confident the Wailuku officers
would be able to handle the case and
that he would not send any detectives
up unless especially requested.

PAPAIAS IN COFFEE.
Maui Coffee Expert Speaks of
Shade for Trees.

OudOS tOT ATSSS.
MR.. EDITOR:-In the Gazette of
November IL is the following para
graph in Mr. Allen Herbert's article
on the papaia:
PLANT the beautiful and healthful
papaia instead. They will grow up In
very few months and give a better
shade than the castor plant. They will
also give food for both man and beast.
Did you ever see blight or insects on
a papaia tree? AS mentioned above
they will grow up in very short time
and the young coffee trees that are
struggling along can be tied to their
sturdy stalks and thereby receive the
protection they need"
The papaia is valuable tree in it's
place, but we beg leave to suggest that
it's place is not in a coffee field, either
as a shade tree or as support, for
the trees to be tied to. A coffee tree
that needs support had better be pulled
up, and another planted in it's place,
as it will never amount to anything as
pIOuuCcT.
A coffee tree with sufficient moisture
does not need shade and will make
a much better tree without II there is
not enough moisture, shade will have
to be provided and the question is what
to use that Will rob the coffee tree Of
as little nutriment as possible. The
papaia is too gross surface feeder
to fill the bill The castor plant, while
it makes fairly good wind break and
shade, soon gets to be nuisance by
giving too much shade and producing
so much seed, everyone of which is
warranted to grow if it touches the
ground. The roots of the Kukui seem
to interfere with the coffee roots but
little if any, and it makes a good
shade, but does not do well in all
places. The Monterey cyprus bids fair
to fill the bill both as wind break
and shade, but with us remains to
be tried.
Yours truly
