plenty of fun, the bill was passed.
SPRINGER DIVORCE BILL PASSED.
Shortly before the House adjourned
Yesterday afternoon Chairman McCul-
Tough, of the Committee on Divorce,
called up the House bill to divorce
Howard b. and Sarah w. Springer, of
Wilmington. He stated that the
grounds were cruelty and ungovernable
temper on the part of the wife.
Mr.. Smith, a member of the commit
tee. declared that he could not vote Tor
the bill, as he did not believe that the
plaintiff had made good case. In his
opinion the husband was to blame, for
he had gone West, married his wife and
brought her home to live with his
mother, his brother, his sister and his
brothers wife. and the defendants
statements before the committee proved
that they had made it warm for her
while she lived with them.
In reply to this Mr.. Mccullough de-
clared that the plaintiff testified that on
the wedding trip his wife had threaten
ed to make his life a "h-l on earth, '
and had threatened to poison him and
his whole family. There were marks
on his desk where she threw things al
him.
Mr.. Smith declared that both people
had good characters, and that Mrs
| Springer's fellow-boarders testified tC
her amiabilty.
Mr.. Mccullough said that the hus-
band had given his wife all the money
he had, but Mr.. Smith retorted thai
this was before they had any trouble.
Mr.. Short came to Mr.. Mccullough
relief and so did Mr.. Dempsey, and tn,
bill passed by a viva voce vote. i
will go to the Senate to-day.

THE waste products of so large an

IAN idea of how the wine industry
of California has thrived may be had
from the fact that when the ST. George

Even in 1888 the winery was small |

tons of grapes per season. Now the |
capacity is 200 tons daily. During the |
past season more than 1000 tons of
grapes have been made into wine and |
brandy. The distillery contains six
stills of different construction, so as
to produce brandy of different kinds
for the varied purposes of commerce,

said Mr.. Waibel, will be able to con-
vince the people of Honolulu that the

little bit of a barefooted native boy,

two round trips, and that he couldnt

New Corporation Composed OF
Hawaiian Citizens.
Within the past few days a charter
has been issued to a corporation to
be known as the Native Sons Company,
organized for the purpose of conduct
ing a grocery business in Honolulu.
The capital stock of the company
will be 200 shares, with par value of
$25 each. Three-fourths of the stock
has already been subscribed, and
number of persons have signified their
intention of taking from one to five
shares each The officers elected 10
serve for the ensuing year are:
President and manager, J. n. x. Ke-
ola; vice president, S. X. Kane; treas
urer, Charles Wilcox; secretary, S. l..
Kekumano; auditor, John ID. Holt.
These, with James X. Kaulia, f. r.
Harvey and James l.. Holt, will con-
stitute the Board of Directors.
The company has not yet decided
upon location, but it is probable that
a store on West King street will be
found that will answer the purpose.
Each subscriber to stock pledges to
buy his or her groceries from the COM
pany, so that they will begin business
with a fair list of customers. 1t is
expected that many foreigners, in or
