A PREACHER
One Charm licking to
WdiIuku.
CRY FOR SUNDAY SERVICES
Towns SIeepiness Accumulated by
the Empty Pulpit in the
Foreign Church.

WAILUKU, Maui, Aug. 1.-THE
News says: Waikiki has the reputa-
ton of being rather hard little town,
and the mud wasps that reign undis-
turbed on the walls and ceilings of the
deserted Foreign church are evidence
in the case. But for all that, the Wal
luku people are very much like other
folks, and when on last Sunday night,
stray itinerant wandered into wal
luku and announced that there would
be service at the church he was greet
ed with a congregation which was EN-
inently respectable both in SIZE and
quality. And if such sermon as was
preached were guaranteed to the wal
luku people every Sunday night, one
charm would be added to the town
which it now sadly lacks.
WAILUKU AMAZING.
1t seems a constant source of sur
prise to visitors to 'Wailuku for the
first time, especially to those who live
in other portions of the Islands, that
we have so delightful climate and so
beautiful a site for a town, with so lit
tie of life and ego" to us. 1t is true
that Wailuku has been in a state of
| Information for some years, but that
time is at an end, and the towns people
are now beginning to wake up and
make beautiful little city of WailuKu.
! KAHULUPS UPBUILDING.
| 1t seems a mistake that Kahului is
not thrown wide open to the proper
classes of mechanics and tradesmen,
and that such are not encouraged to
come and take long leases of desirable
business lots. The theory of the pres
ent management at Kahului to build
and own and run the town themselves
may be a good one, and they seem to
be going to work about it with plenty
of vim and energy, but would it not
make more business for the railroad
company, if outsiders were invited to
come in and help to build up the town?
ENGLISH ON MAUI.
Although the law require all procee :
ings in the court to be conducted in the
English language, yet as matter of
fact, on the Island of Maui, only a very
small per cent of those who go or are
brought to court can speak or under
stand English, even as she is spoken
on Maui Interpreters fees viii long
be a heavy tax, and an unavoidable
one. In this connection the circuit
court of Maui and the district court of
Waluku should be provided with a
good interpreter
