NEkOOSA SUBURBS.

The school in District No. 2, town
of Port Edwards closed on Monday
with appropriate exercises. The
principal feature of the occasion that
attracted most attention were the
orations delivered by Miss Edith and
Master Marvin Lynn. The title of
the former grafton being "Cranberry
Culture" which was delivered in a
very interesting manner, beginning
with the soil most adapted to the
growing of the cranberry vine. prepar-
ing the ground for planting and SO on
through. until the berries are barreled
and ready for shipment. The title of
the latter was ''History of our School"
which was delivered in mastery
way, beginning back in the 70's when
it was District No. 2, French town,
and SO on up to the present time
After the program Supt. 0. J. Leu
conferred their diplomas with appro-
pirate remarks, after which all present
including many from away as well as
the patrons of the school participated
in a spread consisting of ice cream and
cake. Much credit is due the teacher
for her unceasing efforts to promote
the educational and moral welfare of
her pupils, and it is believed that we
voice the sentiment of the patrons Of
this school in recommending Miss Burr

WAYS THAT ARE DARK.
AN UNDtsTRIBUTED CHINESE
CIRCULAR.
A Bad Man Named Lee Whose Villainy
Was Exposed i'm a Circular That
Came to Grief.

The Star has received a communica-
ton in the Chinese language, in which
some unknown correspondent makes
kick against the post office. 1t is on a
piece of American note paper which
is well filled with neat Chinese charac-
tiers. After the services of an interpre-
ter had been engaged, it was found that
the writer of the letter unfolded tale
revealing a nice little sample of ways
that are dark.
There is a Chinese in town named
Lee, il appears who, according to the
writer of the letter is not all that a
Chnaman should be. Lee is a bad man,
he declares. In fact he was so sure
that Lee was not a good man that he
got up a circular telling all about it.
The circular was to be distributed
among all Chinese, through the post
office. 1t would thoroughly acquaint
the Chinese population of Honolulu
with the fact that Lee is a most I'M
worthy character
When the circulars reached the post
Office they were all turned down. There
was not enough postage on them, said
the heartless government employees,
who didn't care whether the world was
informed of Lees badness or not.
Wherefore the circulars were not sent
out and there may be people still blind
ly reposing faith in Lee.
IL was after the failure of the cir
culars to reach their destinations with
their valuable information that the let
ter to The Star was written. The writ
err had come to the conclusion that the
post office was in league with Lee. 1t
was clear to the mind of the man who
wanted to spread knowledge of Lees
iniquity that the postal department
had simply refused to send out the cir
culars because it knew that the con-
tents thereof told the damning truth
about the character of Lee.
Such official corruption ought to be
quite as thoroughly exposed as the
character of Lee itself, thought the au-
thor of the unlucky circulars. He
therefore sat down at his desk with
piece of American paper in front of
him and a Chinese brush in his hand,
and wrote until he had filled the paper
with fantastic figures, which, when the
paper is held the right side up, convey
to the fortunate ones who can decipher
their meaning the true facts about the
character of Lee, and the perfidy of the
post Office that stood in to protect his
worthless character.
The author of the letter did not sign
his name nor did he tell which OF the
many Lees he was referring to. A pro-
minent local Chinese, however, after
reading the interesting communication,
expressed the opinion that the letter
had reference to a certain man who
has declined all invitations to join the
Bow Wong Wui. Another lot of cir
culars will be prepared to tell about
the wrong doings of the unlucky man.

SMALL ASSESSMENT APPEALED.
Custom House Collection Objected to
by Importers.

A custom house assessment of duty
TO only "a is the cause of a
protest that has gone all the way to
the Board of United States General
Appraisers at New York, and is now
being investigated by the board. 1t is
over the assessment of American tariff
on some tea imported here from China
and on which Hawaiian duty was paid
before June IA without the goods act
ually coming into the country.
The tea arrived here on the China,
the last steamer from the orient before
the change in laws. 1t was entered
and duty was paid under Hawaiian
law, say Kinds, Rolph & Company, who
have made the protest. But through
an error the tea was not unloaded from
the China, but was carried on to San
On the return trip from San
Francisco the China brought the tea
here again, and the importers were or
dered to pay American tariff before
bringing the goods ashore.
There was a protest, but Collector
Stackable held that he could not let
the stuff pass the American custom
house, coming from China, unless 1t
paid the American tariff. The ruling
was appealed TO the general board of
appraisers, and a decision Is being
awaited. The importers claim that the
payment of the Hawaiian duty gives
them the right to bring the goods into
the country.

Welded MAN SHE LOVED
AUSTRIAN COUPLE TRAVELLED
5000 MILES TO HAPPINESS.

CHICAGO, April 13.-Sorafy Stefanowic
and Annie Prulgonski raced over 5000
miles from Telchus, Austria, to Chi
cago. for the double purpose of avoiding
Michael Satenski, q justice of, the peace
IN the town of Telchus, and to be mar
ried. The justice was also in love with
the young lady, and had sworn to make
her his bride. He followed them to
America and is now said to be in Chi
cago, searching for the couple, ignorant
of their wedding, and here for the pur-
pose of outdoing Stefanowic by induc-
ing the young woman to marry him and
return to the native town in Austria
However, after considerable scneming,
the justice of the peace has been outwit,
ted. Stefanowic Is now the husband of
the young woman.
The young people We're to be married
in Telchus, when the justice, who also
desired the girl, SAID he proposed to have
her himself, and to escape him the two
fled to America, with Santenski In hot
pursuit. When they reached Chicago, a
week ago, the girl was placed in a house
on the West side, and all the windows
and doors barricaded.
Stefanowic was anxious for an early
marriage, but the girl refused until after
Lent, saying that marriages in the Lent,
en- season were not legal. Finally the
yourg man went to Justice of the Peace
Dooley, of this city, who at once gave
advice against the interests of his brother
justice In Austria, and told Stefanowic
to bring the girl down to his Office and
he would marry them. This was done
today. and a second ceremony will be per-
formed as soon as Lent has passed.

repudiated his proposition by vote Of

discussion lasting throughout the longest

that resolutions severely consuming T'res-

creased In Importance. It Is true the
government here continues to charge
that France has lately redoubled her ef-
forts to influence the Italian press, and
that the secret funds spent for this pur-
pose are being enlarged. But it Is here
not denied that several of the most in
fluential papers, close to the Italian gov
ernment like the Popolo Romano and the
Rome Tribuna, have taken up the as
sault against the dreibund. The italian
press particularly denies the German
claim that Italy's strong Mediterranean
position is owing to the dreibund's back
ing, and that without the dreibund italy
would only be the voluntary or invoIun-
tary tool of France.
The Italian press points out the drei-
bund is sterile economically and that in
deed trade with Germany il retregrad-
ing, instead of advancing.
The Tageblatt today, In an inspired
article, repeats in detaiF that Italy, with
out the protection which the dreibund
affords, never would have attained the
powerful attitude in the Mediterranean
which she has, and never would have
weathered such crisis as the Adowa de-
feat and the Milan revolt without in
jury. s
