POINTS OF MERIT.

Strong, durable, easy running, simple
attachments, all the result of constant
study for many years, of men who have
made a life study of perfecting the
Singer sewing machine. With few
equals, it has no superior, and is sod
as low as any other first class sewing
machine. Buy a Singer and you take
no chances. If you doubt our word,
ask your neighbor who has been using
a Singer for the past ten or twensy
years. For sale by b. Bergerson, agent,

CASE DROPPED.

Joe Kalana, the hackman who drove
over the soldier at the corner of Pau
ahi and Smith streets a few weeks ago,
was before Judge Wilcox this morning.
The government wished to enter a
nOlle prosequ for the reason that near
ly all of the witnesses had long ago
left the country and it had been found
impossible to make out a case. 1t will
be remembered that the soldier struck
by Kalaua's rig died the following day.

SCENES AT FIESTA.
Mixture of the world ana the
Church During Celebration
IN Mexico,

Such a strange jumbling of the world
and the church is seen nowhere in the
United States as is exhibited at Mag
d~alena, Sonora. Mexico, during the
period of the fiesta in honor of the mem.
DRY of st. Francisco Xavier. The fiesta
extends from September 26 to October
III, but October 4 is celebrated as the
birthday of the great missionary. The
tradition that on this day to kiss any
portion of the figure that lies in the
sanctuary will heal all pains and sick
ness is believed by thousands of people
who travel hundreds of miles to secure
the legendary benefits.
Tuesday night thousands of people
camped in the plaza on the campus sur
rounding the cathedral and elsewhere
near by. At four O'Clock in the morning
when the bells in the tower rung the
call to early mass the crowd pressed
INTO the big auditorium. There in the
center under the dome on a catafalole
covered with rich lace and silk Law the
ilie-sized figure of Ne saint, robed in
the costly raiment of a prelate. On the
noor during the mass a great crowd
knelt. AT the conclusion of the sery-
ice the throng passed on either side
OF the figure. The sick. the lame, the
bllnd kissed the forehead, the nose. the
lips, the eyes. the hands and the feet.
for hours streams of humanity los
tied and surged in and out of the church.
AT ten O'Clock another service--the bap-
tlsm Of children-began and lasted for
three hours. During the remainder of
the day great crowds continued to visit
the figure of the saint.
Religious duties performed, the
crowds passed to the market place, a
block away, where gambling and
drinking tents are pitched and where
high officials of the state and prominent
mine owners win and lose fortunes.
Hazards of 81, 900 and 50, 900 on a single
card are common. Women of estab-
lished position play. Everybody gam
bles, drinks and goes to church.
