Honolulu, Hawaii. Fifteen thousand
dollars are to be poured into the pock
cts OF the members OF the Hogan min
strel troupe and those who backed
them, as result Of the numerous suits
filed against the Canadian Australian
steamship Company last spring on ac'
count Of the refusal of the com pany to
carry them from Honolulu to Victoria
This result was MADE known recent
ly when the attorneys for Hogan and
his troupe and those of the steamship
company reached compromise by
which the suits were all discontinued
and the entire matter ended by the
payment Of the lump sum of SIS, 900 to
the attorneys for the plaintiffs. The
steamship has feared for some time
that one OF their vess els might be al.
tached for the payment Of the judg
ment already secured against them, and
as a few days. delay in port here would
cost the company more than all the
suits amounted to, they wished to com
promise and get the matter entirely out
Of the way. The Hogan incident was
one Of the most sprightly that has en-
livened Honolulu for a long time. Ho'
gan and his troupe cane from Austria
liza early In the spring aud played seve-
raj weeks here. The trouble occurred
when the troupe started to, leave for
| Victoria. They had come up from
Australia on the Canadian Australian
boat, having purchased through ticket,
With stop over privileges In Honolulu.
But when they came to go away on the
Miowera her captain refused to take
them for some unexplained reason,
claiming that the ship was full, and
urging other excuses. The "unbleach'
ed" Americans believed that the color
line had been drawn, and they brought
suit against the company for S., 900
each. There were 90 OF these suits filed
in one day and three of them were
brought to trial before month had
passed. All three resulted in Judg'
ments against the company. Hogan
got $2,25O, Hurley Thyous Sls5, and
Mrs. Jennie Alexander, $1,000. All
were appealed, and the rest hung on
awaiting the decision of the supreme
court. But the end came when the
suits were all compromised and those
remaining on the docket will be strlken
off

The Old Maids Convention

their attire they came from all parts of
the globe. One of the strong minded
sisters said. from the Duck Ponds of

search for an important paper it wal
discovered in the huge ear trumpet of
Calamity, where she had placed it 10

was as incorrigible as ever and added
materially to the fun of the evening.

about the mouse created comical con-
sternation among the tair ones, who
took to chairs and tables in true woman
like manner. Sister Samantha scored
the men in her address on Woman's
Rights and made some good hits.
Sister Shorts aspiration to be a dear
little lap dog ended in . real live one
appearing, while Sister Jemima enter
