The Hawaiian gazette., 1900-10-16

many residents of Hilo on last We'd
nesday evening between IL and 1.
o'clock. The pitching and rocking of
the earth brought some alarm to those
who roost above the ground floor.
AS TO METZ.
Deputy Marshal Metz-retired, says
the Tribune, is not expected back as
soon as he used to was, on account Of
the department with which he was
connected not requiring him here any
more. nor even at the other end of the
line, where 1t seems his zeal in search
ing for dope" was not appreciated. In
r other words Judge Estee, apparently
getting tired of Marshal Rays chronic
propensity to make haste slowly, got
tired OF the Marshal's siesta, and at
tended himself to the firing"
Just why Metz should have been ap-
pointed in the first place nobody SEEM
ed to know except Ray and he wouldn't
tell.
No news has as yet been received rel
ative to the filling the position thus
left vacant iii 1t can be said to have
ever been filled). The Marshal is ap-
parently taking plenty of time at the
right end upon this occasion.
"Klondike" doesn't want it. He has
discovered that there is more money in
Honolulu plumbing. Besides he doesn't
like the tendency 1t seems to arouse in
the successful candidates to skip the
country.
In the meantime the United States
Government has two equally difficult
apparently Jobs on it's hands: one is
the search of the North Pole, the other
the search for Metz.
REGULAR CHURCH SOCIAL.
Owing to the hard storm prevailing
the social at the Foreign Church on
Tuesday evening was not largely at
tended; but those who braved the in
clement weather were well repaid. 1t
was a genuinely social sociable. There
was scarcely any ice to break, and that
was soon completely shattered. Choice
music was furnished by Mrs. Sever
ance. Miss Richardson and Mrs Lewis;
and Miss Willis sang two charming
songs. Mrs. Lewis had charge of the
musical entertainment and Mesdames
Scott and Pratt We're the hostesses of
the evening. Dainty refreshments were
served, and the pleased company separ-
ated shortly after 10 o'clock, each per-
son affirming that he had had good
time" and telling the truth when he
said II.
