ground of fraud and conspiracy, more
than one hundred and sixty different pat

Counties. The American Lumber Com
pany holds the patents to these lands,
which embrace 2E00O acres, and their
value has been estimated at in the neigh

Company issued mortgage bonds on the
security of the lands to the amount OF

not institute suit. The question to be de-
cided is. Was the suit brought when the
bill was filed? The decision will thus
afford an important precedent for both
courts and lawyers

The question of legislation also received

TU ESDAY, DEC. IA, 1897.

A Maui correspondent states that
the new District Magistrate of Wal
luku is as arbitrary as the high
judge of that benighted island. As
an instance of the way in which
things are done, he mentions the
case of Chinese contract laborer
who was taken before the Magistrate
charged with Hama Haalele, and who
was ordered to return to his master
and pay costs to the amount of
1915. The Chinese did not under
stand the charge at all, was not
given the slightest opportunity to
explain his side of the story and
was not allowed an interpreter. The
Magistrate "did him up" in few
minutes TO the extreme satisfaction
OF the sugar baron who owns the
coolie and to the disgust of all who
had hoped that Wailuku had secured
an independent judge.

ART EXHIBITION.
Oil and Water Color Paintings on
Fort Street.

There is no pleasanter place to
while away a happy leisure hour
than at the art gallery Of the Pacific
Hardware Company on Fort street.
Here may be seen and quietly
studied some OF the best efforts Of
Mr., D. Howard Hitchcock, young
artist, in whose progress Hawaii
justly takes pride in claiming as her
own.
Some of us may regret that the
artist is too much like the honey
bee, slipping the sweets from every
flower, and culling the choicest as it
strikes the eye from landscape, face
or genre instead of devoting himself
to one special line, but then, per
haps there is an advantage for us in
watching his experiments and de.
velopment as colorist. That Mr..
Hitchcock is improving vastly in his
work is an undeniable fact and great
things may be expected of him in
the future.
The pictures on exhibition being
for sale, it is not proposed to at
tempt to Interfere with the judg.
ment or discretion of the purchaser
by recommending any particular
ones, for then all would strive to
obtain the ones selected and that
would not be just to the meritorous
ones left behind
1t should be borne in mind, in
these very materialistic days, that
while artists are supposed to derive
their inspirations from heaven, they
are compelled to obtain their physi-
cal sustenance from earth, and that
inspiration, genius and labor not be-
ing exactly very nourishing pabulum
to exist on comfortably afew admirers
should be purchasers and contribute
to the creator in proportion to the
pleasure obtained from his creations.
