cause It was Sunday. 1t is learned
that the Government plant has quite
a number Of practically rotten electric
light poles in service. Some good citi-
zen might loan the fund enough to
make repairs.
Hilo will kick" to the end OF time,
but to kick" tremendously Is too
much. This would mean concession to
the views of others and quite likely
protest that would be reasonable and
well grounded.
In the case of the brutal murder of
Joe, the Malay, there is a chance for
members of the police department to
distinguish themselves. The moose
welcomes the men OF the class capable
OF such a crime as doing to death a
harmless, inoffensive chap.
The soldiers like Honolulu even
without the big dinners and the seren-
AIDES and the formal attention of the
ladies'. The warriors bold are given
pretty well the run OF the town and
on the whole their behavior Is excel
lent.
In all this controversy about the
quality OF the army beef it is strange
that the contractors are so completely
in the background. Yet another strange
thing Is that there has been no hint
Of any questioning the provisions sup
piled the navy.
1t t. becoming evident that there has
been planted here seed that will in
time grow into some such manifesto
ton as a showing OF resources by
means OF an exposition. A permanent
display with Mr.. c. L. Wight's coffee
samples as nucleus would prove at
tractive and useful.
Every Saturday night here now Is,
for crowds, about like the nights in
the old days of June II, July 4, the
birthday OF the King or Regatta Day.
But there is wickedness In the Satur
day nights now. They are almost fast
and loose as the nights We're some
times in the whaling era. A man who
liked to look at this sort of thing could
not tear himself away from 1t Saturday
night of the 18th inst. There was that
bad thing of Joe, the Malay. But there
were pleasanter things in the earlier
hours. Happy crowds filed the Or
pheum and the Tent show. There were
a number of social gatherings. Trade
was brisk In the stores till or there
abouts. Abroad were driving parties,
riding parties and wheeling parties.
Out also were the window gazers. A
good many of the stores make metro
politan displays now. The latest pho
tographic sensation-Davey's revival
of the silhouette, responsive to the ad-
vent of the fad in the East, was a
drawing card. The likenesses OF known
people were readily recognized and
there will be a demand for the souve-
Mrs. There was merry assemblage
at the club of the officers of the N. G.
II. The Hawaiian hotel was a center
The A. U. p. convention was held down
town to play politics, Cabs rushed to
Waikiki to get people there in hurry
and rushed back to get more people
The quarter OF the peculiar local half
world was lively. The police were
alert as ever, but slightly indulgent to-
wards the soldiers and the bluejackets,
who were on the streets by the hun
dreds. The saloons were labelling out
disturbances and the disturbers demon
strated on the sidewalks and on the
streets. Then there was the flag end
of the Chinese New Year, with a few
firecrackers and a lot of that freak
liquor they make themselves and that
would make white man steal his own
clothes and get drunk again to find
them. Saturday night music Is vile
The singing Is crazy and the instru-
ments are abused. Broken heads? or
minor cases scores. OF serious affairs,
always a few. There was Anderson,
the Willscott carpenter. He had three
ugly marks on his poll. He thought
variously that he was hit by Span
lard. a soldier. or the wife OF the late
cook Of the ship. There was New
comb. beaten by Kauai, the bad man
OF Iwilei. Why. there were even dog
fights. abetted and encouraged. The
Saturday night Is getting tough. The
