THE FIREMAN'S MISTAKE.
ln q Moment of ofAberratfcn He Tn oug h t the Manager of the Theater
 Was a Gentleman.

Frank Wyatt, the London artist, ac- tor, singer and manager, has combined several professions for so many years that it is hard to say in which one he is most popular. He and Mrs. Wyatt (Miss Violet Melnotte) built and still own the Duke of York's theater. MT. Wyatt succeeded George Grossmith in the Gilbert and Sullivan operas and his duke of Plazatora Gin ''The Con- doliers'O was one of the most Humorous performances ever seen at the Savoy.

fashion just now is the new summer dress materials, which have been dis
 played within the past few days. It takes 8 readier pen than mine, and
 one, too, dipped in ink having all the coIors of the rainbow. to describe their gorgeous colorings and mani fold charms. Many of the handsom- est specimens come under the head of "wash goods," which, as you know by this time. Is much misused ex- precision. For instance, if you go into a dry goods store and ask for wash material, just as likely as not the obliging salesman would show you one of the many new swisses which, because they are new and the correct thing, Nretafl at the modest sum of s2.5o per yard, ..or perchance an equally expensive organdy of so fine texture and such delicate color ing that it would shrink and fade

ing it from making further inroads.
AS the fire is now almost entirely on
property owned by the Territory the
people in Hamakua feel that the Gov
ernment should bear some of the ex-
pense of extinguishing it When Gov
ernor Dole was in Hilo he was tele-
phoned to regarding this and his an
swer was to the effect that the residents
might put it out and depend upon the
Territory to help defray the expense.
The Horners have been obliged to ship
about 100 head of horses to Hiio on ac-
count of lack of water here. Many Of
their horses and cattle have died for
the want of water and it is to save the
balance that they are sent over to Hilo.
There is no indication of rain and be-
tween the fires and the heat from the
sun the ground is literally burning up.

HAMAKUA, Hawaii, Aug. 2S 1901.
Editor Gazette: Dear Sir: The drought
is having a most disastrous effect
throughout the Hamakua district, and
is causing a great deal of suffering
among the cattle, and loss to every
body. There are 1000 head of cattle and
500 horses on the Horner's ranch that
are suffering for water. And water is
scarce everywhere, and is getting scare
er every day. 1t is so scarce in fact
that it is difficult to get ones. clothes
washed. and it begins to look as if there
will not be even enough for drinking
purposes. The heat is also so intense
that the cane is getting burnt up, and
to be ground at once. Most of the mills
are starting on next years crop, with
the hope of getting something out of
II before it dies. At Kukaiau about all
the water is gone, and if any grinding
is done it will have to be done by using
salt water in every thing, which is rath-
er a risky thing with these types of
boilers.
A few springs and deep wells are all
that we have for II 7tire district and
it is feared that ths~ cannot begin to
supply the demand, after all OF the els
terms are empty. And there are very
few but what are empty now. Coffee is
also suffering for want of water and
