DELEGATION OF EIGHTEEN
A Surprise Party Given to Miss
Schweizer--General News
of Maui.
Especial correspondence

MAUI, May 12.-Maui Republicans
will endeavor to send eighteen dele
gates to the Honolulu convention to be
convened on the 30th. The general opin-
ion seems to be that it is necessary to
give new political affairs a good, fair
start; and though it will be very diff
cult to find eighteen representative men
who are willing and able to leave their
private business to attend the conven-
ton of May Goth, still determined eff
fort will be made to do so. Maui peo-
pie, as rule, take their politics soberly,
regarding them duty rather than a
pleasure.
1t is stated that on the 18th the resi-
dents of the different precincts will
elect delegates to an Island convention
to be held at Wailuku on the 23d.
The appointment of Mr.. Dole as Gov
ernor gives general satisfaction among
the people of the Island.
Schweizer Surprise Party.
Last evening a surprise party was
rendered Miss Claire A. Schweizer at
the Hamakuapoko home of Mr. and
Mrs. W. S. Nicoil. After rendezvous
at B. d. Baldwin'S, large number of
her Makawao friends sang "Suwanee
River" to the accompaniment of guitars
in front of the Nicoll verandahs until
the young lady was summoned forth,
and the surprise was completed. The
evenings entertainment consisted OF
the reading of sundry phophesies as to
Miss SchweiZer'S future during the COM
ing decade of years, and of popular cho-
ruses on the lanai, to the music of gui-
tars and ukuleles. The prophetic utter
ances were from thirteen letters from
different unknown friends, and were
either of a romantic or humorous ma
ture. The audience seemed to think
that they were decidedly humorous.

way, there is no school building ON the
Islands, outside of Honolulu, that can
at all be compared with the new Maui
