IS THE HULA ALL RIGHT :.
ORPHEUM SHOW BOTHERS THE
POLICE.
High Sheriff Brown Consults Citizens
About the Propriety of Having Hula
in Public.

Is the hula an indecent dance? This
is the question the police have been con-
sidering for the past few days, and the
managers and performers of the Or
pheum theatre have been trembling in
their shoes while the question was at
issue.
The Orpheum put on a hula last week,
and officer Hanrahan was there to see
it, as well as to observe the performan-
ces of "officer Ran-with- the Ham"
Quite number of prominent citizens
also had seats, and they have most Of
them been invited to tell High Sheriff
Brown whether the show was indecent
or not.
The police took no action in the mat
ter, but the performance was a good
deal modified after the first night. None
of the prominent citizens were ready to
testify that the show was one for which
the participants should be prosecuted
Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth went to
the theatre to see how wicked the show
was, but he didn't feel called upon to
interfere, for the reason, it is stated,
that the managers had got wind of the
fact that the hula had begun to bother
the police, and had toned it down.
Its hula, and that's all there is to
be said" was the reply of one citizen
to police questions about the alleged in
decency of the show. 'If the hula is an
indecent dance, then the show is an in
decent one"
This about represents the average
opinion that was given to the police,
and it gave little opportunity for any
interference. officer Hanrahan found
one man who had suddenly left in the
middle of the hula and he pounced
upon him as a sure witness. 1t
was thought that he must have
become shocked and gone away
to hide his bushes, but when he
was asked what his testimony about the
show would be he said that it was all
right if hulas went; he had only left
to catch a car.
Everyone who has lived in Hawaii
long knows what the hula is. There
re'said to be sundry hulas every night
in certain precincts, but they are held
in private High Sheriff Brown has not
yet decided whether a public hula Is an
improper show or not and he doesn't
need to, for the Orpheum has cut out
and toned down the portion of the play
to which objection was made.

Primary That Failed.

: WaimanalO which is the Seventh
precinct of the Fourth district
; may not be represented in the
: convention and if the delegates
from that section hope to parti-
cipate in the deliberations of the
party it will be through only the
good humor of the convention.
owing to combination of cir
cumstanCes no election was held
there Saturday and now the
good Republicans of the precinct
are trying to figure out where
they stand with G.. o. p.
Everything had been prepared
for the election. The school
house was secured and John
Cook, Kililie and Kanaoopea the
judges had assembled around the
box in readiness to receive the
ballots. Not the slightest hitch
was anticipted, Arthur Irvine,
George Chalmers and George
Gibbs had been named for dele
gates. Each of the trio got
hair cut and a shampoo to make
room for the laurel which was
to crown his brow after the cleo
tion. But events so shaped
themselves that the election had
had to be called off.
There appeared wise man"
from Honolulu who opened the
eyes of the voters. 1t is claim
ed that he warned the white men
that they were not entitled to
vote. They had not been natur-
allied so it is alleged he said, and
their ballots would, in conse-
quence, be void. This announce
ment caused things to look un-
pleasant but the party did not
propose to let few dark clouds
dampen their spirits. There was
the native vote yet which would
roll up strong in punches of five
or more. So when a big crowd
of natives was seen approach
ing the polls the judges shook
hands all around for they felt
that their time had not been
wasted. Their joy was short
lived though for instead of vot-
ing the natives served notice up
on the, judges that they proposed
TO take no part in the proceed
ings.
1T is something new to us" de-
clared one of them, land we are
not going to be dragged into
anything that we know nothing
about. We have got to have
some more time to think this
thing over. It's so sudden"
Coy as the native element was
the judges realized that it was
too late to try and battle against
the inevitable. Those who want
ed to vote could not while those
who could vote would not. 1t was
impossible to register the whites.
The time was likewise too short
to Cajole the natives into voting.
The judges sagely adopted the
only course left. They called
the election off although the
polls were kept open until half
an hour after the regular closing
time.

IROQUOIS LEGEND OF THE PLEIADES.
All the children must look for that pretty little
cluster twinkItng in eastern sky early
the evening.
Once upon time, 1t is said, these stars were
seven little Indian boys who ate their supper Of
corn and beans every evening the top of little
hill. After their simple feast. the sweetest singer
sang for them. while they danced to the music Of
his voice
One evening these seven little boys asked their
mother to give them something different for supper
as they were very tired of corn and beans. but the
mother would not grant their request. So the poor
little Indians danced without having had any sup
per, and presently their sad hearts and feet grew
lighter until suddenly they went whirling away to
the sky, where they were changed into bright
stars
One star does not shine brightly the rest,
and that is Merope, the sweet singer, who is home
sick and wishes to return to his home on earth.
That's the Singer, their sad stories say;
That's the SinRer-let us pity him.
Oh the little Singer (you can see

Lady Carlisle canvassed for the county against the
Earrs candidate.
In the general election which has just taken place
in Great Britain women have taken more i'm
portant part than ever, this being largely due to
the fact that many of the parliamentary candi-
dates were officers still engaged in campaigning in
South Africa, and who accordingly unable to
do any of the canvassing themselves, but We're
obliged to leave everything Of that kind in the
hands of their wives, their mothers and their sis
ters. Thus Lady Sophie Scott, daughter of the
Viceroy of Ireland. deserves the major portion Of
the credit for the election OF her husband, Sir
Samuel Scott, who is still IN South Africa The
same may be said of Mrs. Harry McCalmont wife
Of that Colonel McCalmont who few years back
inherited from uncle immense amount Of
property, comprising besides large estates a sum
Of SIS 100000 in cash. She is a daughter of Sir
Henry de Bath, and sister-in-law, therefore, Of

CANVASSING FOR VOTES.
TITLED ENGLISH WOMEN WHO HAVE
BEEN TAKING AN ACTIVE PART IN
THE RECENT ELECTIONS.

Although an impression prevails that the par
dcipation Of women in parliamentary electoral con-
tests, especially in the canvassing of votes, was
originated in England by the American wives Of
English statesmen and politicians, yet the practice
was in long before the brilliant daughter of
the late Leonard Jerome appeared upon the scene
TO win friends and supporters for her first husband
Lord Randolph Churchill. Indeed, the activity Of
women as very successful ELECTORAL agents in OBJ
tanning votes for their relatives and friends is al
most as old as the existence of parliamentary in
situations in the United Kingdom. and has fire.
quently led to the most comical situations when
