1t appears that the young dancing
woman who embelllshed the announce
men;s OF her public entertainment by
long list OF names of very distin-
guished "patronesses" did not go to
the trouble of asking the patron
esses' permission. Some of the pa
tronesses have publicly objected. and
as the announcements said rather more
about them than about the entertain
ment 1t seems that they have some
right to feel aggrieved. 1t is difficult
to see what the 'patronesses" have to
do with this or a great many other
enterprises which they are said to be

Hearing Grand Opera in Rome.
His Excursion.

By the steamer Australia word was
received from Joseph Marsden who at
latest account was staying in Rome.
He had been all through Russia and
had seen everything worth seeing.
While in Rome he had taken little
trips to many points of interest sur
rounding that city. One place in par
ucular Mr.. Marsden visited was a little
town called Nettuno. 1t is very an
cient, said to be older than Rome it.
an old city in the mountains where
there are some beautiful waterfalls.
But the most interesting part of friend
Joe's stay in Rome was the fine music
he heard. His enthusiasm while a mem
Der of the Amateur orchestra was so
great that it is no wonder he writes
that he is at the opera every night
and he says that the artists are the
finest he has heard in his life Among
the operas heard were Iris and II Forza
del DestinO, the latter being particu-
laIly fine. Whether he is looking into
the Italian labor question is not stat
ed, but there is no doubt he is gather
ing a lot of valuable information that
he will present when he returns home
in the Spring. a series of lectures on
Joe Marsden's trip abroad would be a
very interesting break in the mono
tony Of Honolulu life. He does not
state whether he called on the Russian
Gar while in Russia nor does he give
any information that would lead one
to think that he has been hObnObbing
with the Pope during his stay in Rome.
He appears to be in the best Of health

WATER RIGHTS.
Decision on Irrigation From Tins
kamehaneha L,

The kohala Sugar Company VS..
James Wight. Appeal by defendant
from decision of the commissioner OF
water rights for the district of Kohala,
Island OF Hawaii. Submitted On briefs,
November %, 1898. Decided January
IS, 1899.
Upon q petition TO d Commissioner
ofcWater rights alleging title in certain
water by prescriptiye use, that it was
diverted by defendant and praying for
an injunction to prevent its further di-
version, ii was not competent for the
commissioner to award one-half Of the
water in controversy to petitioner. Such
decision is not responsive to the pray
er. Held, that the weight of evidence
does not sustain the petitioners right
to the use Of the water sufficiently in
order to authorize the injunction.
The opinion is written by Judd, @. J.
The use OF the water is traced back
TO the time of Kamehameha l, who was
born on that part OF the island, owned
all of the land there and irrigated tarO
patches. Tradition is indistinct wheth-
er any Of this tarO ever ripened or
whether more than one crop was tax
en- off. The enterprise failed.
