mile dash bicycle race. The contestants
In this race Were Nigel Jackson, August

END OF the first half mile, Johnny De-

AS SEEN BY THE
MAUI NEWS EDITOR

WAILUKU. Maui. July THE News
says editorially:
Mr.. Horner of Hawaii condemns the
profit sharing system as being likely to
make the nom profit sharing laborers
dissatisfied with their meagre earnings.
Yet he does not assert that the profit
sharing men are paid too much. The
point which seems to have escaped Mr..
Horner is that the profit sharing Jap
anese do work which is worth the diff
ference in the price, with much less
worry
The Honolulu press is doing some very
pretty talk about small farms and small
farmers. on the Islands. These are only
pipe dreams, with sugar at its present
prices, but the time may come when a
contamination SO devoutly to be wished
for may be realized. If it ever should
come, condition of general prosperity
would come with it which would render
the Territory of Hawaii the brightest
star in Columbia's diadem.
The two young and struggling sugar
plantations on Maui-Nahiku and Kihei
will doubtless ride out the storm OF
financial embarrassment which has
swamped new plantations on some oil
the other Islands. Both of these Maui
plantations are bound TO prove sue
cesses. and are good buys at the pres
ent prices.
1t was unfortunate that both Wal
luku and Hilo had arranged to hold q
race meeting on the same day. Here
after 1t would be advisable for the of
ficers of the two racing associations tt
confer with each other and arrange fol
race meetings on different days, so thai
| citizens from each town can visit tbs
others races. Honolulu will probably
claim July 18th each year, and If Hilt
wants the Fourth, Waikiki should Sc
| lect some other holiday for her races
and make that day a permanent racing
day

Theosophlcal Society.

The Aloha Branch of the Theoso-
phical Society, whose meetings were of
late held at a private residence on
Beretania street, have decided to take
again a hall better fitted for public
work. They have been fortunate in Sc
curing the use of a room in the Knights
of Pythias' building, next to HOLSTER
Drug Co., on Fort street. Public lee
lures will probably be soon given, as
of old, when the Branch occupied Har-
mony hall; but, for the present. the
usual class-work will be conducted
every Saturday evening at 1880 p. M,
and all persons Interested in the matter
will be cordially welcomed. The special
library is also going to be greatly in
creased, so as to keep up with the won
derful progress made by Theosophy in
all lands.

GILMAN PAYS HIS FINE.
Waikiki Resort Owner Also Yields
$25 to Uncle Sam.

Ottman, the proprietor of Ocean View,
Saturday night by the police, was fined
800 and costs yesterday after pleading
guilty to the charge of selling liquors
without a license. In this connection
attention may be called TO the fact that
Gilman also had to pay into the col
fers of Internal Revenue Collector Hay
wood s25, the Federal liquor tax. By
so doing he is saved possible raids on
the part of the United States, this tax
of $25 leaving him free to sell liquor for
the next twelve months, as far as Uncle
Sam is concerned. The local authori-
ties. however. have their innings when
ever occasion offers to make an arrest
for the Illegal selling of liquors.

PUNCTILIOUS.

And now, madam said the census
enumerator las to your age
"Ah, yes" she answered as she glanc-
ed at the blank. But you'll have to
be more explicit"
Your age at your last birthday is
what is mentioned"
You will have to specify the time of
day upon which you want the calcula-
ton based; also whether you wish to
know my age in seconds or merely in
hours or minutes"
The enumerator looked worried and
began to suspect for the many-th time
that day that working for the govern
ment is not the sinecure it has been pic
tured.
You know" she proceeded sweetly,
that a birthday is something that oc-
ours only once in a lifetime. If you had
said birthday anniversary it would be
{ ferent. But you didn't say it, and l
must shut the door now and get back to

Life.
Mrs, Lester S. Wilbur, whose husband
is employed at the Estey Organ factories

feated by the timely arrival of physicians
and the virtue of powerful emetic. Mr..

It was to be used for external purposes.

The Next Valley Fair sept. 70 and ~.

The directors of the Valley Fair voted
at the Brooks House Friday to hold the
next fair Wednesday and Thursday, Sept
20 and o. The last Wednesday and Thurs
day in September are the days when it
never rains according to President Hook
er's diary. A complimentary dinner was
served to 1877 directors at 10 o'clock. AS
stated in The Phoenix last week it was
voted that each Brattleboro director be
asked to furnish turnout for the parade,
1t being the opinion that the cost of the pa
rade TO the association would be reduced
in that way. After dinner, however, it
was voted to appropriate $500 for the pa
rade, the committee holding that unless
some material inducement was offered that
department would suffer from lack of in
terest. The committee will act its own
pleasure in regard to using that amount of
money, and the directors will be asked to
furnish turnouts just as though the appro-
priation had not been voted. j. p. Good
enough resigned as superintendent of the
food show and c. S, Hopkins was elected.
