The reception rendered the officers
from the transports Oonemaugh ana
Leelanaw on FRIDAY evening iast al
the Hio Hotel by the citizens OF HilU
was attended by upwards OF two hum
dred society people and was a grand
social success and was considered by
those attending to be one of the best
ever given here.
The holel is most appropriately sit
mated and adapted for functions and
opportunities Tor decoration unequaled.
On this occasion the committee spar
ed no pains in arranging flags and
greens in manner most attractive to
the eye. The hotel was ab.aze with
electric lights and over the entrance to
the lobby hung large American flag.
The coIors of Great Britain adorned
the wall over the arched entrance to
the reception room and in the latter
Hawaiian and American flags were ar
tistically draped. Tropical plants,
ferns and ported palms were every
where grouped in abundance. In the
ballroom flags were festooned from
the four corners to the center column
and over the many entrances to the la
mai, large palm branches interviewer
with taro leaves were artistically ar
ranged.
The guests were received by Messrs
Wilson, Forrest, Hitchcock, Rice, Ray
and Winter and escorted to the recep-
ton room and welcomed by the COM
mittee of ladies: Mesdames Cruzan
Wilson. Forrest, Baldwin, Winter, Ell
liot and Misses Harriet C. Hitchcock
and Elvira Richardson and introduced
to the officers standing near them.
During the reception hour dreamy
Hawaiian music was rendered by the
quintette club hidden in a bower OF
stately palms.
The magnificent gowns of the ladies,
the dainty dresses of the debutantes,
the officers respondent in their uni
forms, together with the handsome
floral decorations of the hotel, formed
a bewildering scene that will not soon
be forgotten. Manager McDonough's
efforts in the banquet line were sue
cessful to marked degree and the re-
past formed a happy half-hour inter-
mission during the dancing.
The ladies and gentlemen who work.
ed SO earnestly to make the affair a
success are to be congratulated; they
may well rest on their laures.-Her-

ADVICE From Hllo.
1t seems to be the general idea that
Mr.. Dole is to be the first Governor of
Hawaii. At least Mr.. Dole and his dis
ciples think SO; and that is practically
the force of the recommendation in the
House Bill on Territories reported by |
Chairman Knox. The governor has a |
pretty wide range of appointive power
and with Mr.. Dole at the helm we shall |
expect to see clean sweep of the pres |
ent personnel, beginning with Cooper
and Rowell and ending with the last |
two-spot. Mr. Dole will then doubt
less fill the vacant chairs with a we'll
chosen assortment of statesmen, among |
whom Hilo will be well represented by |
its absence, and things will be differ !
ent from what they used to be, to the |
man with a good faculty for imagin-
ing what isn't so. AS nearly as we can |
make out, after everything is settled |
and we are fairly launched on our
course of American citizenship, we |
shall be about as well off as we were
in the palmiest days of the Republic"
with the additional pleasure of having |
the reciprocity treaty repealed and pay
ing an export duty on sugar.-Tribune.

Some time before the end of the
present month the entire Island Of Ha-
wall will be encircled by belt of tel
ephone wire, which, when com peted,
will furnish most satisfactory service
to the whole Island. The last section
Is now being connected-from Holua-
loa to Honokaa-after which, the little
inconvenience arising from having
only single line to Hilo, will be re-
moved. Material is now here OH YES
sells in the harbor to construct new
line from Hilo to Laupahoehoe and one
from Hiio along the Volcano road for
about nineteen miles. This is prepara-
tory work to making a metallic circuit.

Is Home Again.
l.. V. Canario, the young son of ]. S.
Canario, who left school in the States to
become a "soger," is home again after
a thrilling experience in the Philip
pines. 1t will be remembered that the
young man enlisted without the con-
sent of his parents and passed through
with the 32nd United States
Infantry just a day before his father
went down to intercept him. While in
the Philippines young Canario was in
five skirmishes receiving a wound in
the last one. He received his discharge :
after being wounded and was sent back
to San Francisco. He reached Hilo by
the Baxter and does not want any more
