Stole q Wheel.

Kapika ran away with KaaimOku's
wheel Saturday night and wasn't de-
cent enough to return it after a rea-
sonable time. He calmly lighted the
lamp and set out for an all-night ride,
stopping at various places for cooling
beverages. Nakookoo, assistant fish
inspector at the market, found out the
fact. and Immediately proceeded to
take Kapika to the police station,
where the latter explained that he had
only borrowed the wheel for the night
and that he had no intention of keep
ing it. Kaaimoku was not at all pleased
and did not take the explanation in a
kindly spirit. He was. consequently,
locked up, and will probably be tried

ILLUSTRATED MAGAZINE.
Very Good Pictures But Waits
Were Long.

When the Hawaiian Opera House
opened Saturday night it looked very
much as though the subscription list
to the illustrated Magazine" (''Manao
Noeau"), would not be large enough
to pay for getting it out, and as is the
case with many Sure-enOugh publlca-
tons, the promoters would have to de-
pend upon the advertisers to make up
the deficiency. But after two or three
pages had been turned, new names
were added to the subscription list I'M
til it was quite full.
The magazine is interesting, but like
many Eastern publications, it is long
on illustrations and short on text. Par
ticular attention is given to the adj
vertising columns, so that they were
quite as interesting, and amusing IN
some instances. as the body Of the
book suggestion to the publishers,
to the effect that the pages be cut, so
that they might be the more easily
and quickly turned, will not be amiss.
A wait of five or eight minutes is long
enough under any circumstances, but
when this is aggravated by an orches-
ira of violins and horns saving and
blowing out compositions that have
been played so many times in Honolu-
In as to become eXecrable, the wait be-
tween the illustrations are painful.
There is not fault to be found with
the illustrations; artistically arranged
and executed, in some instances, with
a superabundance of action and life
like genuineness, they were indeed
pleasing to the eye. Take it all and all,
the promoters of the EManao Noeau"
are to be congratulated on the sue
cess of their venture.

Thinks He is a King.

Kauko, stepfather of Mrs. Kaulukou,
was taken TO the police station Sunday
in the police wagon in a completely de-
mented condition. Until within a week
ago he was sound, sane man. but sud-
denly he began to act peculiarly. and
since that time has been out of his
mind entirely. At the police station he
began to speak of himself as king and
to make historical references to the
acts of the old chiefs His condition is
pitiable. Fifteen years ago. KauKo was
a police officer, and since that time has
been working at various jobs.

TUG-OF-WAR.
Exciting Tournament Begins on
Saturday Night.


Saturday Night.
The beginning of the great tug-of-
war was witnessed Saturday night in
the pavilion, on the corner OF Bere-
tania and Alakea streets, by nearly 500
people, who saw one Of the most excit-
ing muscular contests that has ever
taken place in Honolulu. The Quintet
Club boys were present to enliven the
occasion.
The following officers took their
places at the middle of the long plat
firm shortly before o'clock: Judge.
Tom Wright; referee and starter, H. E.
Walker; time keeper, Charles Crane;
marker, w. Mott.
Shortly afterwards, two teams of
stalwart natives-one from the Homo
lulu Iron Works, and the other the
boat boys or "Pakaka''-filed out, and,
silently taking their places, grasped
the stout rope. The signal to start
was a pistol shot, and as soon as this
had been given the two sides braced
themselves and pulled for nearly 90
minutes, the red cloth mark was not
seen to go more than an inch from the
center. At last the foundry men be-
gan TO get in their work, and in SO min
utes they had the requisite feet. but
not until both sides were completely
worn out. Zoe Murray was the foundry
anchor.
In the second pull, the Waikiki
team of natives was pitted against the
Philadelphia team. The natives did
not look as we'll as the navy men, but
they pulled a lot better. In minutes
they had the bluejackets bested
The third pull was to have been be-
tween the Moanalua team of natives
and the Scandinavians, but the latter
did not put in an appearance, so a team
of boat boys was picked from the au-
dience. After about minutes pulling
without gain on either side the Quin-
tet Club struck up ''Moanalua." The
team of that name set up yell, and in
less time than it takes to tell it, had
the victory won, pulling their oppo-
nents right along with them.
The tournament will continue tomor-
row night, with the following pro-
gram:
1. U. S. S. Marion VS.. Moanalua.
2 Honolulu Iron Works VS.. Waikiki.
8. Pakaka VS.. U. S. Philadelphia.
