A Fortune From a Scare.

An inventive genius who suffered
from attacks by stray dogs when riding
his wheel, set his wits to work to devise
something which would be an ealca-
cious, and yet comparatively harmless,
means of defense. AS result he has
brought out and patented pocket
pistol which will shoot ammonia,
water or other liquid. The most VIC
ious dog cannot withstand few drops
of ammonia in his mouth Or eyes, and
yet there is no danger OF actually in
juring a valuable animal which might
playfully annoy rider. The weapon
has proved 80 much of a success as
means of defense as well as fun-mak-
ing, that the lucky inventor is realizin 6
much money from his device.

MINISTER SEWALL TALKS ABOUT
THE PROGRAM.
Interviewed by Representative of
the Annexation Club as to Where
the Responsibility Rests.

At the meeting of the Annexation
Club officers yesterday afternoon it
was resolved before taking any fur
ther action looking towards celebra-
tion to send a delegation from the
club to interview Minister Sewall with
a view to finding out just exactly
where the club stood and why it was
not allowed to participate in the flag
raising ceremonies. f. b. McStocker
was chosen for this duty and he saw
the Minister this morning.
Seen later by a Star man, Mr.. Nc
Stocker said: "Without going too
much into detail Minister Sewall gave
me to understand that he had nothing
to do with the getting up of any pro-
gram, that is as far as the Hawaiian
portion of it is concerned. At a prop
er moment in the ceremonies Minis
ter Sewall and Admiral Miller will
take charge and carry out the instruc-
tions received from Washington.
These instructions are ironclad in
their nature and cannot be deviated
from to the extent of hairs breadth.
Beyond carrying out these instruc-
tions Minister Sewall disclaimed any
part in getting up the program, say
ing in effect that the Hawaiian gov
ernment was at liberty to arrange
any program it pleased previous to
the moment for the actual taking pos
session by the United States. What
ever ceremonies the Haweiian author
tiles thought proper for the occasion
would be acceptable to him"
81 asked the Minister" concluded
Mr.. McStocker, "if he thought there
would be any improperly in the An
neXation club getting up a celebra-
tion on its own account. He answer
ed certainly not, that it was an occa-
sion which everybody ought to be
glad to join in and have a good jolli-
fcation."
Acting on the above information
the officers of the Annexation Club
will meet again at / o'clock this af-
ternoon to decide on a program. AS
far as outlined the program consists
first in asking the government to de-
clare Friday a general holiday and a
legal one if possible. The club will
also ask that the Executive building
and grounds be turned over to them
for the day, and if this is granted
the program to be arranged this after
noon will follow Immediately after the
flag raising ceremonies. The Annex
alton Club has also offered to relieve
the government of the carrying out
of the ball program. This was de-
MED yesterday, however, on the
ground that the application had been
made too late.

The first japanese Methodist Epis-

frame structure 30 by So feet, so built
that it can be enlarged to the re-

THERE MAY Be A Change
FLAG RAISING PROGRAM MAY BE
MODIFIED.
The Annexation Club has Asked Per-
mission to Participate in the Days
-
Celebration on Friday.

The officers of the Annexation Club
met at 1 o'clock this afternoon to
consider the situation. 1t was decid-
ed to arrange program of exercises
and submit the same to Admiral Mil
ter for his approval. 1t is the wish of
the club that these exercises take
place on the grounds of the Executive
building Immediately after the flag
raising and that the United States
troops in attendance be invited to re-
main and participate. The admiral
will be asked to permit this if it is
consistent with his duties and orders.
A member of the club who was
present at the meeting said those
present were in favor of having ev-
erything possible take place on the
grounds Immediately after the flag
raising that could be done to make
the ceremony fitting and to be long
remembered. Minister Cooper will be
asked to allow the swearing in of the
National Guard to be done on the
spot instead of taking the men to the
drill shed. 1t is hoped the sailors
from the warships will be allowed a
few hours freedom in the afternoon.
Firewarks are to be displayed during
the progress of the ball so that those
who do not dance can watch them
from the balconies.
The committee to arrange the pro-
gram are j. b. Atherton, F. j. Low
rey, j. \. Kennedy, a. V. Gear and
George f. Mcleod.
AS arrangements now stand the
following will be observed at the flag
raising celebration.
The government offices will be clos
ed the entire day.
The ceremonies will take place at
the Executive building at HAS
o'clock.
Tickets admitting to the balconies
and the reserved seats may be had
on application to the Foreign Office,
Thursday morning.
The grounds will be free to all.
Carriages must enter the Richards
street gates.
Entrance to the Executive building
will be through the mauka doors.
Reception at 9 o'clock in the Execu-
tive building, followed by a ball.
The public is invited
Carriages in the evening enter by
the King street gate; leave by the
Richards street gate.
Guests enter the building by the
main entrance.
The First regiment, n. G. H., is or
dered to assemble under arms at
the Drill Shed at 10 o'clock
Field and staff will parade dis
mounted.

trousers, leggins and gloves.
Members of the Citizens Guard are
requested to report to their respec-
tive captains on the grounds back of

THE NEW MANSE.

At a meeting of the trustees of the
First Foreign church, held on Thurs
day afternoon, says the Hilo Tribune,
it was decided to dispose of the pres
ent parsonage and to erect in its
place a new and commodious building
two stories high, of design specially
suited for a manse, and fitted up with
all modern conveniences. Everything
has been left to Messrs. c. G. Kennedy
and Charles +. Richardson, who will
proceed at once TO dispose of the old
building and have plans drawn out
for the erection of the new one.
