a CraZed Native.

Pilipo, native employed on the
docks, at one time one of Queen
night and was taken to the police sta
ton. The officer who went after the
insane man found him on top of a
house moon hunting. 1t is supposed
that the insanity resulted from an at
tempt to blend religion with gin.
When a boy Pilipo was in the service
OF Queen Emma and afterward when
grown to manhood, became a member
Of the city police force. The demented
man, while in the cell last night, was
very noisy.

ing the final quarter of 1898 and few
days Of the new year the road was COM
pleted to the present ending. From
Waialua to Kahuku plantation the line
skirts quite closely to the sea until
we'll into the Kahuku cane lands. The
view all the time is most inviting and
the breeze from the sea pleasant and
invigorating, The sweep for the eye
on the lee side Of the Island is a grand
one. There is local interest along the
extension. For instance it was at
Waimea, in 1892 that Lieut.. Hergest
and Mr.. GoOch, an astronomer, were
killed by natives. In 1918 James Hun
newell, who came to Honolulu from
Boston in 1918 as master Of the brig
BorgeauX Packet, made two Or three
tours of the Island of Oahu. In an ac-
count of one of these tramps he had
this to say of the Waimea locality. now
trayersed by the railway:
Friday, Feb. 13.-At dark arrived
ar Waialua and was sent for by the
head chief of the place and treated
with fish and poi. and was accommo
dated with lodging in his own house.
(The accommodation will be quite diff
ferent at Waialua now, with Col Iau-
kea in charge of new modern trop-
ical hoteI.)
Saturday, Feb 14.-PleaSant and
clear. After refreshments we took leave
of our new friends, travelled along the
sea coast and at noon arrived at Wal
mea, where we stopped for the re-
mainder CT the day to rest and refresh
ourselves. We were here treated with
hog, some dogs and potatoes. We
took lodging here, but fleas were too
plentiful for sleep.
Sunday, Feb. 15-Pleasant in the
morning. Walked around the valley Of
Waimea and visited the most remark
able places, some of them We're caves
in the rocks and one place was the
spot where the missionaries were
killed. (This is an error, referring to
Lieut.. Hergest and Mr. Gooch) At 10
a. m. we took leave of Waimea and
continued our journey as far as (?)
jpinuah where we arrived before night
and found the natives very poor, but
they, however, brought two roasted
dogs and some potatoes and we put up
for the night
All of which is quite different now.
The burial caves in Waimea gulch are
still of great interest and have been
diligently searched.

MAKING TROUSERS AT LOSS
MedeiroS g. DeCker-CreditorS and
Debtors of First
New York-The Blow.

The first Honolulu business failure of
| the year went on record yesterday.
Strangely enough it was due directly
to causes that have been of great and
pronounced benefit to many tradesmen
of the city-the visit of the First New
York Regiment, U. S. ", which was
stationed here several months. The
boys have trousers in their possession
and failed to pay the Island tailor bill
| for the same. The trousers are of
white duck and cannot be worn till the
| middle of next summer.
Hyman Bros, the Queen street
wholesalers and rice factors, have pc
titioned to have the tailoring and fur
nishing goods firm of Medeiros &
Decker, Lincoln Block, King street,
thrown into involuntary bankruptcy.
Judge Stanley signed an order yester-
day and there will be a hearing in ten
days or so. The business is the prop
erty of Mr.. Decker, he having pur-
| chased the Mederios interest in Novem-
| Der last
On Monday of this week Mr.. Decker,
feeling that he was in deep water in a
business way, called meeting of his
creditors. The session was held at the
| law offices of Humphreys & Gear. A
| full statement was made and there was
an examination of accounts On con-
sultation of the creditors a committee
consisting of Messrs. Schmidt,
Schweitzer and Cohn was appointed to
| look over the store and to investigate
| the book assets. Adjournment was
| then taken to yesterday morning, with
| it is said, the general feeling that Mr..
Decker would be able to go ahead re-
gardless of nice white trousers for New
Workers if he was given some leeway.
At the second convention of the cred
| itors it was reported that the liabili-
ties were $4,000 and the assets $1,000.
Some OF the merchants were inclined
to favor the plea of Mr.. Decker that
he be given time and be allowed to
secure a better business location and
try and work his way out. He says his
present place is very much out of the
way since the soldiers departed. How
ever, the suit was instituted for $3.50,
the balance due Hyman Bros, and the
matter acted upon at once. Soon there
was a policeman in charge and the
place will be in the custody of Marshal
Brown till a settlement is effected to
| the satisfaction of all claimants SO far
as the assets are capable of giving sat
isfaction. Mr.. Decker says that at
| Least three of his creditors were willing
TO permit him to try to avoid the bank
ruptcy.
Mr.. Decker, in an interview yester-
day, told an interesting story Of his
undoing by the gallant First from the
Empire State. He made for the com
mand altogether 1000 pairs Of trousers
using for the purpose 5000 yards OF
ducking and the necessary buckles

Mr.. Decker is very we'll known in
Honolulu and all over the Islands for
OF the country for twenty-three years
and this is his first experience of the
sort. He has the reputation of being a
keen business man and one OF first
class ''hustling" abilities. He has a
large family and cheerily remarks that
he will doubtless be able to support its

and firm friends who will be sorry to
learn that he is in business trouble and
who will assist him in tiding over the
difficulty, with confidence that he will
do the correct thing in this affair and
get on his fe-t again
