gard to the stages of work on road
building contracts. Last week
the Government gave out con-
tracts amounting to S25,540 for
new roads in North and South
Kona. 1t promises to be soon
that "the big island" may be
thoroughly toured on wheels
including bicycles-as a matter
of holiday pleasure, instead of
having extensive areas as now
only within visiting reach upon
horseback, under hardships mani
fold endured from sheer business
necessity.

Church SOciabIe.

There was a happy sociable
held at the Methodist church last
night, although other attractions
and engagements kept many
friends away. Mr.. Bailey and DR..
Burgess individually contributed
songs. Mrs. Petrie gave a recita-
ton. Mr., Mrs. and Miss Aber.
nethy sang a trio. Rev. H. W.
Peck, as substitute for an absent
one, gave reading. Miss Aber.
nethy, her brother and Mr.. Bailey
produced another vocal trio. At
the end of the program ice cream
and cake were served for revenue,
the event being under the auspices
of the Ladies' Aid Society for the
benefit of its good works. "Blest
be the tie that binds" was sung
for dismission.

NORTH POLE ADRIFT,
An Explanation OF the Recent cold
Wave ia Honolulu.

An Explanation of the Recent Cold
Wave Ia Honolulu.
A vessel arriving from the other
side of Oahu sighted a big spar,
and on running close up it was
found to be the north pole. The
pole was covered with ice, and a
few seals and whales were sport
ing about it. On closer examina-
ton, bullets with the private
marks of explorers who have been
trying to swipe this old stick for
centuries gone by were found. The
pole hunters probably got cold feet
before getting near the big stick,
SO they shot at it at long range
out of spite. The continued
shooting Of bullets at the pole
very likely loosened it from its
position in the dreary Arctic
regions, which explains why
Peary and Nansen failed to find
the blamed thing, it having float
ed slowly out of the Arctic Ocean
into the Pacific. People have
been wondering why we have had
so much cool weather lately, and
the foregoing is the reason. In
daytime the sun gives us 50
much warmth that we do not feel
the cold as we do when he has
retired in the west. However,
the ice is melting gradually, and
the pole itself is drifting toward
its southern brother in the An
tarctic, so less cold nights will be
here again. Ii any of the good
people in Honolulu don't believe
this story, let them go down and
see the mariner who discovered
the thing. Why! the old salt
shivered SO while telling his tale,
that five false teeth dropped into
the bay, and he is now trying to
recover them, they being the only
valuable property 10 possessed.
"None O. tits ye- nor pole
weather fer me; gimme the vol
cano instid," he says.

against S9406.9S, an increase of
S12,S94.34. The loan fund &C
count balance was S214, 800 .26, an
increase over November 30, 1896,
of Sl76,751.57. The ordinary re-
ceipts for the month were $751;
S90.S6, against 1869, 1920 in

b., 1895, and S37,2O9.76 in the

being that of the Post Office, whose

SC743.90 in December, 1895. The
ordinary expenditures were $780,

more than accounting for the &C
tual increase. Support of the

In many parts of "the land
of the free and the home of
the brave" at this time of the
year building operations are
suspended, and every man
has his eye on the coal deal
er while watching the water
pipes showing a tendency to
freeze up. In Honolulu
where spring is four seasons
in the year, carpenters may
work inside or out.
The unusual operations Of
the past year has had a de-
pressing effect upon edge
tools, for like, everything
else--they give way with
too constant use. We have,
in view of the prospective
demand, made a big buy Of
the finest grade Of tools OBJ
tainable in eastern markets;
they are what carpenters and
machiniStS need all the time
and when buying the best
they get that which lasts

CUELHO'STR0UBLE.
In Jail for Embezzling Sta.

Says He Loaned Money to Station
House Employees Went
Back on Him.

VIM. J. Cuelho. clerk of the District
Court, was arrested yesterday after
noon on the charge of embezzlement.
The warrant. which is sworn to by
Marshal Brown, charges Cuelho with
the sum of $3.50, Dis
trict Court funds. The total shortage
will approach the sum of $1,000.
The case produced a profound SEN
sation in police circles and about town.
Mr.. Cuelho is well known and is quite
popular. He has been a leader in many
benevolent enterprises among his own
people. and is a vocalist of merit AT

the time of his arrest he was one of
the secretaries of the Young Hawaiians'
Institute, and leader of the glee cub,
which has so ably assisted the band
in recent concerts.
Mr.. CuelhO was seen in his cell last
night. and said: 1.-The charges against
me are true, and | will make no fight.
l used the money and am willing to
take the consequences. My shortage
will not reach $1,000, but will exceed
$500. l do not know exactly what it
will be.
Men in the station house are largely
responsible for my downfall. Friends
have done it. They would come to me
to borrow, and 1 had not the heart to
refuse them | used my own money as
long as it lasted, and then gave them
Government funds which were in my
charge, trusting to them to return it.
of course, this was wrong: [ realize it
now and if my friends had kept their
promises. [ would now be all right.
How long? Well, [ have been using
the courts funds for several months,
perhaps six months. During that time

continued drawing. In the meantime,
/ began to see the hole threatening me,
and closed in on my expenses. l cut
off my own personal expenditure and
deprived my family Of many things they
absolutely needed. My wife will sub
stantiate this
Mr.. Cuelho evinced considerable feel
ing while making this statement, and
seemed satisfied that his mistake was
one of the head and not of the heart.
He expressed himself as resigned to
fate on the reef, and said he would
meet his punishment like man. My
father lived and died for his friends
said he, "and l am going the same
road. Tell my friends that L have
made mistakes, but have not been dis
honest"

WHAT A vERIsCoPE COSTS.
Films at $50 Il Yard-Will Photo
graph the Big Fight.

The Veriscope Company has made
arrangements with the promoters of
the Fitzsimmons-Corbett fight to pho
tograph the encounter from beginning
to end. The cost of the undertaking
will be about $4,000, as the combina-
ton asked $4,000 for the privilege,
and the balance will be used in getting
a special bill through the Nevada Leg
islature to allow the fight.
Besides this, there is the expense of
the material on which the photographs
are taken. The great bull fight, which
is shown by Mr.. Clifford in Honolulu
cost the company $4,000, for it con-
tains thousands of photographs, and
the film would extend from King street
TO the Opera House, and it costs so
per yard. Besides this cost, there was
the expense of sending men to Madrid,
Spain, to make the views. Mr.. Clifford
will give exhibitions at Y. NJ. c. \.

The rooters always amuse me. Alas!
how small a thing is dignity at a ball
game. / remember my old friend Col.
Yellum who used to take in all the
games the old leatherswatters-ah, that
was team for you.--used to play back
in the fifties. How that good old man
would let out when the games grew
close! The picture of his excited face
is always suggested to my mind to this
day by a peal of thunder. He never
recalled a word he had said when the
game was over, and once gave Jem
Green a sound threshing for reminding
him that he had earnestly advised one
Of the players to kill an offending
umpire at a particular critical stage of
the game. He asserted, and doubtless
believed, that the statement was con-
demned falsehood-but it wasn't.
