At KAUHI NAENA. STRICKEN BY PARALYSIS.
HANDSOME GOTHIC STRUCTURE
PLANNED.
Father Clement has Undertaken the
Work-Design for the Church was
Made by Father Valentine

A handsome new church is to be
built at Kalihi-waena. Father Clement
of the Catholic Mission has undertake
en- the work.
Plans have been prepared and drawn
by Father Valentine and construction
will begin probably next week.
The church will be of very pretty
design, Gothic in style. 1t will be 60
by 25 feet, lighted by ten Gothic win
dows of Cathedral glass on each side.
There win be a vestry six feet in depth
extending the whole width of the
building. In front of this will be the
sanctuary with altar and chancel occu-
pying ten feet of the length of the
building. The remainder of the church
will be occupied by pews.
The inside finish of the walls will be
of northwestern pine. The ceiling will
be double Gothic supported on brack-
cts extending in two feet from the
wall. There will be heavy mouldings
on this which will be gilded, relieving
the severe interior finish.
The altar will be Gothic in design
The church will be surmounted by a
bell tower terminating in an actagon
steeple surmounted by a cross
The old church will be entirely torn
down. and nothing of 1t but the bell
will be used in the new.
The entire cost of the church will be
something over $1,000, a large part OF
which is yet to be raised.

THE OAHU RAILWAY LOSES
BIG SUIT WITH GOVERNMENT
DECIDED TODAY.
Perpetual Injunction Imposed Upon
the Corporation Against Condemning
Public Property.

Two judges of the supreme court to-
day handed down a decision in the
case of the Hawaiian government VS..
Oahu Railway and Land Company,
bill for injunction, in which it is de-
clared that private corporations have
not the authority to condemn govern
ment land for their own uses. The de-
cision concludes as follows:
Having found the defendant has no
right of condemnation of the property
in question, we hold that a perpetual
injunction should be issued in accord
ance with the views herein expressed" ="
The law points, which are important,
are as follows:
"a certificate of approval by the cab
met, in accordance with the statutes,
of the location of the Oahu Railway
and Land Company, does not carry
with it the right to condemn land un-
der navigable waters of the harbor of
Honolulu and right of way over the
harbor, where the contemporaneous
correspondence between the parties
and a contemporaneous lease between
them plainly indicates that the govern
ment has a contrary intention, even
though the location covers land under
navigable waters.
THE state has the possession and
control of the navigable waters of the
said harbor and is a trustee thereof for
the public and cannot absolutely alien
ate such interest"
AS will be noted the decision estab-
fishes the general principle that gov
ernment property cannot be condemn
ed by private parties for private uses
1t would seem that some of the salient
points are not yet fully touched upon
Judge Perry signs a distinct opinion
concurring in the principles set forth
but assuming that the declaration In
the last paragraph of the decision is
/ unnecessary, in the light of the law.

MORNING STAR At DAWN
THE MISSIONARY BARK ARRIVES
WITH THE DAY.
a Long Voyage of Eighteen Days from
San Francisco with Alternating
Gains and Headwinds

The missionary barkentine Morning
Star came into the harbor at dawn
this morning after voyage of eigh-
teen days of alternating calms and
strong head winds. Captain Bray says
he has been within 300 miles of the Is
lands for week, and that he never
before experienced such contrary wind
in this region. Last night he ran down
to the leeward side of Molokai, passing
through the channel between MOlOkai
and Maui, which brought him into the
lee of Oahu and enabled him to steam
easily into port
The Morning Star is making trip to
the missions of the Carolines, Gilbert
and Marshall Islands that has been
deferred nearly a year on account OF
the Spanish American war.
There are on board Mrs l.. NJ. Slim
son with her three children, and Miss
Louise Wilson. Mrs. Stimson is going
to join her husband at Ruk, he having
gone thither from San Francisco last
August on the Queen of the Isles. Miss
Louise Wilson is a teacher who is re-
turning to her work in the Girls school
at Kusaie
Mr.. and Mrs. Philip de la Porte win
join the Morning Star here to take up
the missionary work on Pleasant Is
land, an isolated islet between the
| Marshall and Gilbert groups.
The Morning Star Will go from here
| to Kusaie, leaving Miss Wilson there,
| and thence to Ruk, to take Mrs. Slim
| son to her husband. Then the vessel
| will return to Kusaie and take the mis-
/ sionaries on their tour of work through
| the Marshall Islands. Thence re-
| turning to Kusaie a similar tour
| will be made through the Gilbert Is
| lands.
The loss of the missionary schooner
! Robert w. Logan, which was in the
missionary service in the Carolines,
but the news of which casualty was
not learned by the Morning Star till
| she reached here, may make some
changes in these plans. That is mat
ter which will be decided by the Ha-
waiian Board here.
The Morning Star brought a team
of carriage horses, a phaeton and some
other things for Captain Bray, to be
left here, and large quantity of mis-
sionary supplies for the islands whith-
er she is going.
The missionary vessel will probab-
ly remain here for a week.

MIR. HUTCHINsON's KICK.
Board of Health has the Distribution
of Molokai Taro.

At yesterdays meeting of the board
of health Mr.. Hutchinson, of Molokai,
complained that the settlement agent
had taken from him a portion of his
taro, while he considered that he should
have all of it. The board instructed
the secretary to call Mr.. Hutchinson's
attention to the following paragraph
from the minutes of the meeting held
July 2S, 1897:
"On motion the board voted to au
thorize the executive officer to make
arrangements with lepers or kokuas at
the leper settlement for cultiVating ta-
70 in the waikolu valley upon the fol-
lowing terms:
1.-THE whole of the product to be de-
livered to the board and the cultivator
to be paid for three-fourths of the
same at ruling market rate. Any cul-
tivator neglecting his taro either by
not properly cultivating same or by
neglecting to deliver the taro to the
board when ripe to forfeit all his rights
to the same. And further that no per-
son cultivating taro at Waikolu be al
lowed to remain away from the settle
ment over night"

THE GREATEST JULIET.
Janet Waldorf Declared to be One of
the Best.

1T is seldom" says the st. Louis
Dispatch, that one is fated to discover
two geniuses in ones lifetime, but
this is undoubtedly the case with Mrs.
Currier and her two debutantes, Julia
Marlowe and Janet Waldorf" Miss
Waldorf is by nature peculiarly fitted
for the conquest of the part she es-
says, incidentally the greatest role ev-
er written; she has the beauty grace
and magnetism, and she seems always
to hold more force in reserve. Tender
and willf0l, smiles and tears in a sin
gle breath, she wins all hearers, and as
the play progresses through the tragic
phases, this consummate actress,
changed before your eyes from the low
ing girl to the passionate outraged
woman, holding adverse fate at def
ance and yet by some subtlety all her
own, keeping you to the realization
that that this is the same woman who
shrunk in maiden timidity from the
lover in the first act. She carries you
away with the force of her personality
and is undoubtedly the greatest Juliet
of the day.
Ada Dow Currier who accompanies
Miss Janet Waldorf, is undoubtedly
one of the best stage managers in the
country. The wonderful work she did
while connected with Julia Marlowe Is
well known, and the smoothneSs of the
performances now given by Janet WAL
dOrf and her company is due to her.

OFFERs CORRECTION.
journalistic Financial Statements are
Criticized by L. f. Bishop.

Editor Star: VIII you please pub
lish the following correction to state
ments made in the Press, viz: The
Bulletin last night says, 1T is stated
that Honomu will pay 65 per cent in
dividends this year" Permit me to
say that this is much in excess of the
most sanguine expectations of the di-
rectorS.
The Advertiser this morning says:
"Honomu is the next stock to go
through the division process. The
shares are to be made $1,000" This
also is a mis-statement, as the direc-
tors have no such move under contem-
plation.
The Star last evening says: "Ookala
plantation has decided to pay monthly
dividends of ~ per cent" This also
is incorrect, as no question of the
kind has been taken up by the directors
of the company.
1t would seem to the writer that the
Press is in duty bound to protect the
public when making statements re-
garding the financial enterprises of the
country, as 1t is certainly not difficult
to verify what may come to it, as ru-
mors, before publishing same.
Yours respectfully,
+. F. BISHOP.

CAPTAIN PHILLIPS OF THE
INVERMARK
While Seated at His Desk in His cab
in the Stroke Comes-Hope for His
Recovery.

Captain Alexander G. Phillips of the
British bark Invermark was stricken
with paralysis yesterday afternoon
about o'clock, in his cabin. He had
been ashore during the afternoon and
returned to the vessel shortly before 5
o'clock. He was apparently in the best
of health and discussed matters con-
cerning the ship with First officer
Smith Then he sat down at his desk
and began to write, and Mr.. Smith went
out on deck. Four or five minutes la
ter the steward called to the first Of
icer that something was the matter
with the captain. Hurryng i'm to the
cabin Mr.. Smith found the captain ly-
ing on the floor where he had fallen
from his chair, his entire right side
paralyzed. He was not unconscious,
but was unable to speak. Mr.. Smith
Immediately called assistance and
placed the captain where he could rest
easily and sent for a physician. DR..
Herbert and DR.. Humphris responded
promptly.
The patient lapsed into unconscious
ness and has remained in that condi-
tion ever since. The physicians howev-
| er have strong hopes of his recovery as
| he is a man of strong constitution and
| is a comparatively young man. Nurses
were procured and everything possible
has been done. The physicians decid-
! ed to postpone removing him to the
! hospital for the present.
Captain Phillips is A years of age,
| and has followed the sea since he was
\ 49, He has been master of a vessel
! for fifteen or twenty years. His home
is in Aberdeen, Scotland, where he has
a wife and four children.
| The InVermark is due to sail hence

HAWAIIAN LIFE IN DRAMA
PLAY WITH ISLAND TRAITS AS
THE MOTIVE.
Ben Bruins Hard at Work on a Comedy
Which Shall Portray Life Here as
1t Is.

Hawaii and Hawaiian life are being
woven into drama.
Ben Bruins, who is so largely re-
sponsible for our present inundation
of vaudeville and other theatrical en-
tertainments, is at work on a new
play.
Ben Bruins is the playwright who is
responsible for the farce comedies A
Gold Brick, and The Medicine Show,
which in the original or in limitations
have been played on the vaudeville cir
cults throughout the states. He is also
responsible in the FORUM of lyrics for
the songs "The Doctor Says Your
Dead" II Believe It," and others.
But his new undertaking is of
more serious character. While it is to
be a comedy it is not to be a farce
comedy His aim is to present life IN
the Hawaiian Islands, the character
istics of the mixed population and the
striking features of its environment
in a dramatic setting. He intends to
do more than merely to throw in al
lusions to the hulas or luaus, or have
the characters say wela ka hao or wi
lIiwki. He intends to present a truth
full and we'll balanced dramatic picture
of at least the more amiable, lighter
and delightful features and charact-
eristics of Hawaiian life. 1t is his
ambition to make the play one that
will come within the category of the
Legitimate" at the same time that it
shall be distinctly comedy. In his
| touring of the Islands Bruins has been
| indefatigable in studying Hawaiian
| folk lore, methods of thought and ma
| tive customs, and in collecting ancient
ornaments and that sort of thing.
Hawaii has been written about and
| described in print for a century, But
| this is the first time a serious effort
has been made to give her a dramatic
| setting.
