Excursion and Picnic.

The Plattdeutsche Ladies' Verein gave its
first annual excursion to Great Falls yes
terday on the new canal excursion boat,
Lafayette. Capt. Joseph McGruder. 1t was
a delightful affair enjoyed by one of the
merriest parties that ever went up the
canal from Georgetown. The music, which
was furnished by Ludwig Naecker's brass
band, was of the sweetest, and the La
fayette, the beautiful new boat, which is a
masterpiece of the boat builders art, was
no small factor in the general make UP for
the enjoyment Of the $50 persons aboard.
After arrival of the boat at the Falls
dinner was served. succeeding which all
proceeded to enjoy themselves in their in
dividul way. Innocent games were in
dulged in, and the sweet voices of the
young members Of the veren, in songs and
hymns, made the historic Falls reverberate
and re-echo. Not an unpleasant incident
nor an accident of any kind occurred to
mar the harmony of the occasion.

THE VICE PRESIDENCY.
Additional Strength Given to the Dol.
liver Boom.

1t is understood among the Indiana dele
CATION that Senator Fairbanks will not be
a candidate for the vice presidency. 1t is
said that he does not want to retire from
the Senate to become Vice President.
With this understanding the Indiana men
in the House are generally raising their
voices to keep up the House boom for Dol
liver. Dolliver himself has begun to take
his boom seriously. and 1t is claimed that
every member of the House who is dele
gate to the Philadelphia convention has
declared for the Iowa candidate, and that
most of the republican members Of the
House who are not delegates have declared
that they favor Dolliver. How far con-
gressional influence can advance the inter-
ests OF a candidate is problematic. but what
ever it is worth, Dolliver has the support
OF most of his colleagues and associates in
Congress.
There is revival in a vague sort Of I'M
foreground rumor of the cd suggestion that
Gov. Roosevelt's name will be thrown into
the convention regardless Of his wishes.

SCHR. NORMA MISSING
THE NORMA FAILS TO SHOW UF
AT KAUAI
Left Here on the Evening of May
Fourth With Kauai as Her Reported
Destination.

The little island schooner Norma is
among the missing, not having been
heard from for ten days, and it is feared
that she has been lost during some of
the recent high winds. The Norma left
here on May for Kauai, with her own
er, Captain Weisbarth, in command.
Up to last Saturday she had not been
seen at any Kauai port, making
eight days spent without reaching the
end of her little journey.
The Norma was bought by Captain
Weisbarth at a public auction six
months ago, the price being about $500.
She has had a very varied experience
and earned something of a reputation
as a hoodoo, owing to the many failures
of enterprises in which she was used.
Captain Weisbarth did some fitting up
and took her to the South Sea Islands,
returning here with a load of fertilizer.
The schooner leaked all the way there
and back, but the pumps kept her
afioat. Captain Weisbarth took the
Claudine and other island steamers
during quarantine times and the Nor
ma lay idle.
The last report of the Norma was at
six o'clock on the evening of the 4th,
when she turned her bow towards Ka-
uai. If the captains reported intention
to go to Kauai were real, it is thought
that he must have met with disaster.
The Norma had general cargo on
board.

PAIA, Maui, May 12.-Last evening at
Hamakuapoko a most pleasant surprise
party was given by Mrs. W. S. Nicoll

quietly at the home of b. d. Baldwin,
next door, and marching in a body an
nounced their presence by a popular
song, to the accompaniment of guitar
and ukulele. The young lady was of
course duly surprised. The evening S
entertainment was quite unique. The
guests had been asked to write a let
ter purporting either to be written to OF
by Miss Schweizer ten years hence and
these were read. Many funny and ludi-
crOus situations We're brought out in
these, and much amusement and laugh
ter caused. After the reading, refresh
ments of cake and lemonade were pass
ed, and the people present then gather
ed on the large lanai and to the guitar
and ukalele sang popular songs and
enjoyed themselves generally. The even
ing was a most delightful success, and
broke up with many wishes for Miss
Schweizer's prosperity and future hap
piness.
Mrs. H. A. Baldwin, of Hamakua-
poke, today entertains at luncheon in
honor of Miss SchWeizer.
