a Very Pleasant and Entertaining
Evening for Those Who Were
Present


Evening for Those Who Were
Present
Ample accommodation had been
provided at the Hagey Social Club
on Saturday evening for a much
larger number OF friends than at
tended, but tho rain and mud af-
forded ample excuse for abseutees,
and experience has now proved that
Saturday evening is bad one for
this class of entertainment.
The parlors were very prettily
and chastity decorated by Mr.. j.
A. Mehrtens from his valuable col
lection OF ferns and potted plants,
and when the "churchwardens" got
to work the sceno was homelike and
pleasant.
A few minutes after 8 o'clock Mr..
A. B. Scrimgeour, president Of the
Club, in a brief address of welcome
called Mr.. E. B. Thomas, chairman
OF the Entertainment Committee
for June, to preside over the fun,
aud he ran through the numbers
with such vim and rspidity that the
proceedings closed about 1880 in
time for the last car. AS usual in
all kindly enterprises Captain Ber.

PROFANITY

This happened many miles away
from the capitol of our virtuous
Dole.
1t is a fact, however, that one day
a poor, ignorant aboriginal of GER
tain country was dragged before the
Judge, charged with the using "cuss-
language" The prosecuting officer
opened the case by saying Cd it;
this S -. has used language which
is in violation OF our laws. BY -
- such profanity must be stop
ped and Your Honor must cinch
the son -"
And the judge responded prompt
ly. He told the prisoner that pro-
family was serious offense, and that
he would be G. - - il he would
allow any s. OF ~---- to swear in
his district.
The man was fined 81 which he
promptly paid, saying sit is hard
lines to live in a country where you
cannot vote, may not swear, but
must pay your taxes"
1t is very fortunate that this in
cident did not occur in Hawaii nei.

IN THE TENTED FIELD

lies the only hope of peace
and cool comfort in this sultry
weather. Given the proper
conditions aud joy may halt
unconfined under one of our
combination
LAWN UMBRELLA TENTS.
They are a necessity for all
wcll-to-do people who have
spacious and beautiful lawns
and grounds. Convenient,
portable and expansive with
a round table in the
centre large enough for a
quartet or seXtet to sip their
5 o'clock tea or for breakfast
or lunch, they max" a very
handsome ornament for the
lawn. They are impervious to
the glare of sunshine or to
the downfall of rain. You
see them covering beautiful
girls in all the society i|lustra-
tons of the life of thp haut
ton, while for scoring tents in
match games they are un-
rivalled.
The Foulding Lounge
is another of those cool con-
veniences 50 necessary for
summer weather. Made of
wood, iron and cane you can
arrange it in almost any posi-
ton to suit the comfort of The
human anatomy. With place
on the lanai near to the ham
mock it makes a handsome
piece of furniture, while if
you happen to have an I'M
expected guest, in Il moment
or two you can arrange for
him, or her, a most cool and
comfortable bed.

ents OF Chinese residents at Oahu
College, it should be added, to pre-
vent misconception, that while Mr.,
Anthony Ahlo is graduate, Mr..
All Fook is not, but he took prizes
of a very high grade Of merit. 1t
might also be said that Mr., Kent
wall, another graduate Of Oahu, it is
understood, is also OF half-Chinese
parentage, his father being an Eng
lish and his mother Chinese lady
OF Hongkong. If to Oahu credit is
counted for finishing touches, a
share Of the credit of the success in
the preparation Of the students
must also be accorded to Iolani and
other schools and to the private
tuition Of Mr. Henry White and
others

The INDEPENDENT cannot entirely
agree with this Informant in all that
he says, however influential and
well-informed he may be and, know
ing him as we'll as we do, we must
admit that he is both. For instance,
we feel assured that annexation
would be the most disastrous acci-
dent that ever befell this country
and nation, not only for the people
the natives and present residents
but for the ruling faction and the
private family compact.

TOPICS On TIN DAY,

THE INDEPENDENT is hsrpy to learn
that after most searching iuvesti-
cation, the latest report of a scan
dali rejecting on certain school
is without foundation. Abundant
reasons were in evidence justifying
the rumor, which fortunately has
been proven empty.
