SAD SCENE CAUSED BY ITS
INEFFICIENCY.
Fruitless Efforts to Summon Daugh-
ter to Bid Farewell to Her Dying
Mother-Public Indignation

Honolulus wretched telephone ser
vice, which is a subject of angry pro-
test all over the city, was responsible a
short time ago for a most unfortunate
scene of sorrow at the death bed Of
one whose remains friends and rela-
tiVes recently laid away When death
approached after a long sickness ef-
forts were made by those watching to
summon relatives to the final scene,
but after spending twenty minutes
calling upon central without success,
the effort to telephone was given up.
AS a result a daughter was not able
to reach her mothers bedside in time
to see the dying one before the end
The case is one of the most outra-
geous of the many examples of the
kind that are talked of all over Homo
lulu. There was ample time when the
watching physician and nurses saw
that the end was fast approaching to
send for the young lady whose mother
was passing away. and it was sup
posed of course that a telephone mes
sage could be sent. The effort was
made and continued while the precious
moments flew by. For twenty minutes
the right numbers were shouted into
the receiver, and there came no an
swer and no connection was made. 1t
was at night time and as far as is
known there was no reason, except the
constant inefficiency of the service, for
the failure to connect. 1t was too late
when other means of communication
were tried, after the useless telephone
had been given up. When the young
lady arrived death had come and a
chance to say last word of farewell
to her mother had been missed by a
grief-stricken daughter.
Some of the large local business
firms are preparing to make a protest
in a way that will demand attention.
Not business man who has occasion
to use telephone in Honolulu fails to
wonder every day how long the suffer-
ing public is to wait for the new
switchboard that never works and the
modern system that the company has
been just on. the point of introducing
for so long that it has become an old
story and begins to look like a dream
of the millennium

LAST COURT TERM.
Courts of the Republic to End at Wal
luku, Maui.

The Maui term of the Circuit court
will open next Wednesday, June 6. An
interesting feature in connection with
the matter is that this will be the last
session of any of the higher courts un-
der the Republic of Hawaii. Judge Ka-
iua must finish up all his business in a
week, because on the 14th, or eight
days after the opening, the new laws
go into effect, and the commission of
the court expires.
Judge Kalua always opens his terms
with prayer. This time, on the after
noon of June 10, he will close with pray
er. Under the circumstances this cere-
mony will probably be quite impress
SiVe.
Chief Justice Frear has ordered Carl
S. Smith of Hilo to proceed to Wailuku
and hear four cases in which Judge
Kalua is disqualified.
The next court term after Maui, will
be that of the Fourth Circuit at Homo
kaa in July. This will be the first term
under the Territory of Hawaii, and will
probably be the occasion of some cere-
mony among the lawyers and court Of
ficials.

WAITING FOR SCHOONER EVA RAILROAD ACCIDENT
REAR CAR OF LABoRERs' TRAIN
DERAILED.
The Car Rolled over and About a
Dozen Men Were Injured-Two Of
the Injured Dead.

A disastrous railroad accident occur
red on EVA plantation early yesterday
morning.
One man was killed. Another is dy-
ing, and several were more or less in
jured.
The train that met with the accident
wassa laborers' train on the plantation
railfoad 1t consisted of a locomotive
and five cars. The cars were filled
with laborers being taken to their
works The accident occurred at about
6 o'clock yesterday morning just as the
train was on the way to where the men
were to work.
In some way the rear car of the five
was derailed and the momentum when
the car wheels left the rails and struck
the ties rolled the car over bruising
and mangling it's load of human
freight.
AS soon as the accident occurred the
train stopped and the work of releasing
those carried down when the car went
over, began. Surgical aid was at once
summoned and the injured were
speedily cared for.
One of the injured men, a Japanese
died from his injuries soon after the
accident. Another, a Chinese, is re-
ported as dying this morning
No explanation of how the car was
derailed can be given. The matter will
be thoroughly gone into at the coro-
ners inquest which will be held at 10
O'Clock tomorrow morning at the court
house at Pearl City. Marshal Brown
will go down to personally conduct the
inquest.
None of the victims of the accident
were brought to Honolulu All were
cared for at the plantation hospital.

WANTED LESS NOISE.

Judge George A. Davis believes the
dignity of the court should be respect
ed at all times and under all circum-
stances. Men are building the addition
to the opera house work nearly under
the window of Judge Davis sanctum.
They make big noise as is the habit
of builders. Monday, Judge Davis
thought there was too much of this and
sent a policeman after the foreman.
The man of the law brought in the
head luna, who said that Fred Redward
was the contractor.
Bring Redward before the court"
demanded the Judge. Redward was
brought. There was some cross-firing
between the bench and the party in
front. The contractor finally promised
to make less noise, and was allowed to
go.

THE ROB RoY's LONG TRIP FROM
KAUAI.
Left Hanalei Fourteen Days Ago for
Honolulu, and Has Not Been Heard
From Since.

The schooner Rob Roy, If she has not
gone to pieces, is breaking all records
for long trips between here and Kauai.
She left Hanalei fourteen days ago for
Honolulu, and has not been heard from
since. The Blanche g. Ella, vessel like
the Rob Roy, has made two round trips
since the Rob Roy put out from the
Kauai port, but the owner of the Rob
Roy is still awaiting news of his vessel.
The Rob Roy is a twenty-five ton
schooner, owned by a Japanese named
Sagasa. She is forty years old, below
the water line, though she has had new
decks and upper fittings. She was once
the property of the Dowsett estate,
which sold her to the present owner
about two years ago.
The Rob Roy left Hanalei with $50
bags of rice. She has a native master
known as Captain George, and four
japanese in the crew. The crew is a
new one, and it is thought possible that
poor work by the men is responsible
for the vessels failure to arrive. The
owner stated this morning that he
thought she would turn up all right in
the end. She is insured for $1,000.

TO LILIUOKALANI.
Preparations to Give Her Welcome on
Her Return.

Arrangements are being made for an
Hawaiian reception and luau to be Civ
en- ex-Qdeen Liliuokalani soon after her
return to Honolulu next week. Those
interested in this particular greeting 10
the eX-queen are mostly old retainers
and people in humble circumstances,
who have a deep feeling of respect and
retain some of the old feelings of devo-
tion to the Hawaiian aliis. To aid
them in the expense of their proposed
greeting they are asking for subscrIp-
tions from their friends and persons
known to have an aloha for the Hawaii
an. AS one of them expressed it, There
will not be many more opportunities
to show their respect for Liliuokalani
and they desire to make this a worthy
event"

WEST FLORIDA WANTS DIVORCE

A special dispatch from Pensacola,
Fla, to the Atlanta Journal says: THE
newspapers and many citizens Of this
section of the state are just now Civ
ing much attention to the proposed all
nexation to the state of Alabama OF
that portion of Florida west of the
Apalachicola river, which, it is claimed,
should form a part of Alabama. The
point mainly made is that all rivers in
this section Of Florida have their
sources in Alabama and bring the
products of Alabama forests to be man
ufactured in Florida mills. 1t is fur
Their set forth that the material inter
ests of the people of west Florida are
entirely different from those of the
people of the rest of the state, while
the people of the peninsula are inter
ested in the growth Of pineapples,
oranges, ETC., products which are pc
culiar to that portion. The interests
Of the people of the peninsula portion
have hardly anything in common, from
commercial standpoint, with those OF
the people of west Florida. The cap
ital removers' regard the proposed an
nexation as a bluff to have the CAPT.
tai remain intact, but that is not the
case. The people have already seen
way for a decrease in taxation; the
early rehabilitation of the navy yard;
the certain establishment at Pensacola
Of gigantic shipyards to utilize Ala
bama iron, steel and lumber by parties
already largely interested, but who
only need an outlet suitable, and are
determined to push the matter to
successful issue. 1t is suggested that
the most reasonable and practical
method of meeting the issues would be
to hold convention or conference of
representatives from the various coun-
ties of the Apalachicola river at Pen
sacola. The meeting will likely be
held very soon, probably by September

Something New.

1t has always been conceded that no
ordinary paint equalled an enamel for
all interior decorative purposes, as the
former does not give the beautiful,
smooth, mirror-like surface that the
latter does.
The economical housewife of to-day
has the walls, bath room and bedrooms
enameled, as once done it lasts for
years. Rubbed with a soft cloth once
in a while, such rooms are kept clean
and healthy with practically no labor.
Old articles Of furniture are made to
look like new with a coat Of enamel
and give good service for years when
otherwise it would have been neces-
Sary to discard them.
In the past the price of enamel has
been almost double that of paint, but
Florentine Enamel Colors are sold at
the same price as ordinary mixed paint
and come ready for use. This brand of
enamel is put up in twenty three colors
and comes in all size packages from
pint to gallon cans, and we understand
that nearly all dealers of paint carry
it in stock on account of the great de-
mand that exists for it. By writing
