 Townsman Frank Bach was going around all day Saturday with satis- fed look on his face, and every now and then he would smile a happy smile. The cause of his good nature was the knowledge that a brace of fine, fat ducks was laying in the cold storage box on his back porch, waiting to be roasted for Sunday dinner. But the best laid plans of mice and men, etc. Suntag morgen als sic heraus kammen, die ducks warhen fort. Some hungry sinner had stolen them, and Townsman Bach had to satisfy his appetite on ba- con and eggs.

FASCINATION OF THE STILL.


The love of illegality seems Ingram
ed, in some people, just as the love of
gambling is in others. To run an Illicit
still seems to have special charms for
some minds This love of making
liquor on the sly is not confined to any
it has a congenial home in Scotland.
Russia and Germany dabble in it. in
spite of the cheapness of their liquor.
The moonshiners of the South have a
world renowned reputation, and the
Canadian police are kept for ever on
the qui vive' for whiskey makers. Even
on these Islands the ruling passion is
strong, and in the aggregate consider
able quantities of what. is known as
okolehao, a word untranslatable to ears
polite, are manufactured and distribut-
ed
These little stills do not produce vast
quantities of liquor, nor is it a very
remunerative product 1t would be
cheaper to buy the distilled waters of
Holland, viz sand paper gin than to
manufacture this stuff and the risk
of capture and fine would be eliminat-
ed, but it must be this latter element
which is the attraction, and the hallu-
cination that if you make your own
liquor you are getting something for
nothing. 1t is only on this theory that
the fascination of the Illicit still can
be explained.
In a country such as this with deep
valleys, clothed in tropical evergreens,
the opportunity for operating Illicit
stills is very considerable. The stills
found the other day were close to town
and the operators used potatoes, sugar
or molasses to concoct their mash. But
the true okolehao is made in the val
Aeys, where the I'll" root grows, and
where it is easy to hide the operations.
There have been, and may be yet, stills
in Manoa, Pauoa, Kalihi and Palolo
Indeed those mysterious deaths in
Palolo were most probably due to a
still in that valley, and the maker
thereof managed to get hold Of some
poisonous flaVoring material. There is
plenty of distilling going on in the
forest lands between Waipio and Ko-
hala, and at one time there used to be
a regular boat which left Waimanu and
ran cargoes of stuff" either into Pololu
or sometimes landed at Multi.
Now that the old ii root manufacture
is in a great measure dying out,s and
that others besides Hawaiians are en-
gaging in the business, it's picturesque
features will die out. By the way the
legend goes that the Hawaiian was
taught how to make okolehao from ii
root, by runaway convicts from sgd
ney. There was quite a number of
these on the Islands at one time, but all
are dead now. 1t would be an interest
ing matter to hunt up their records. One
impression they have left, if no other,
and that is the fascination of the Illicit
still.

Tom Fitch is not very consequent in
his arguments at times. He told Judge
Estee yesterday that finding his Chi
nese clients had cohabited together, in
the interests of morality he had had
them married according to Christian
rites. But Tom Fitch's argument in the
case was that these two people were
already married by Chinese law. If
such was a fact, and as he put forward
the argument in court. the distinguish
ed legal light must have believed it, one
cannot understand how his tender con-
science could have troubled him. If
they were married by Chinese law there
was no breach of morality. If they
were not married and they had commit
ted a breach of morality, their lawyer
had no argument to present.

The deportation of the wives of Chi
nese seems a great hardship, and to en-
tail much sorrow and suffering. OF
course this is not the fault of the court
which can only carry out its sworn
duty. But there have been scenes in
the Federal Court which have rent the
hearts of even case hardened officials.

Among the curiosities of fishing at
the forthcoming exhibition at st.
Petersburg, it might be we'll to show a

call forth notice of some kind from eX-
perts upon fisheries.

Those people who thought the State
Department did not trust Minister Con-

which are so very important.

JAPANESE SHOW THEIR PAGES
In NATIVE VAUDEVILLE

The japanese Young Mems Club gaze
an entertainment last night at the
quarters OF the club on Vineyard street,
the audience being principally Japan
csc, and Judging from the bursts of ap-
piause that followed every number OF
the program, the show MIST have been
a great success
The front lanai of the clubs cottage
had been transformed into stage, and
the front yard turned into an audito-
rum. surrounded by gay bunting cur
tains, and with no roof except the
spreading branches of a giant algaroba
tree, through the leaves of which the
moonlight sifted and mingled with the
soft light of The pretty japanese Ian
terms that Were hung on wires running
up to the top of a tail pole in the CEN
ter.
The scene was charaeteristically Jap
anese, and though the entertainment
was not Ineligible TO the "haoIe''
mind, it was interesting by reason of
its oddly, and was evidently high-class
vaudeville to the Japanese audience.
The program opened with an innita-
ton OF japanese telling a story, by
a japanese, the principal feature of
the imitation being the imbibing of
sake, much to the delight of the au-
dience.
Pretty japanese maidens discoursed
the Oriental version of music from
stringed gourds and toIn-toms behind
a transparent screen, and presently a
great yellow moon rose with astound-
ing rapidly over piece Of Japanese
scenery representing city, remain
ing transfxed in the heavens during
the rest of the performance
After the story teller sleight-of-
hand man brought out a chicken,
