/ Judge Estee then stated to the bar and
gentlemen present: I'VE are in this court
here to open court for the first time ac-
cording to the law; under the Enabling
Act We have to open court at Hilo on
the last Wednesday of January each
year. Regular terms of said court are
held in April and October at Honolulu,
and the last Wednesday of each year at
tHilo. And according to law the Judge
/ OF this court came over here to give the
people chance if they want to bring
business in this court but there does
not seem to be any business now before
/ the court that would require special at
| tC Honolulu on Friday of this week. The
court will meet tomorrow, however, at
I 10 o'clock, SO that any person may in the
meantime bring his business, if he has
any, before the United States District
Court or United States Circuit Court.

and of the District Court. 1t belongs to

for citizenship in the United States, but
as he had never filed a declaration nor

California or in any other State, and had
not served inthe Army or Navy of the
United States, he was refused.
Court adjourned until 10 o'clock Thurs
day, when, there being no business, Judge
Estee left for Honolulu.
RECEPTION AND SOCIAL.
/ The popularity of Mr.. and Mrs James
Glib requires no special demonstration
by way of proof; but if it did, the de-
monstration of last Tuesday evening,
when their friends and neighbors from
all over the district gathered at the par
! Tors of the Foreign Church to bid them
God-speed, would have been sufficient to
convince the most skeptical. The prom
inence of Mr.. and Mrs. Glib in church
work made this place of gathering es-
pecially fitting, while 1t did not prevent
the attendance of many who have never
worn any hollows in the church pews
through assiduous devotion, but who de-
I sired just as strongly to show their re-
gard for the many noble qualities of the
guests of honor.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gibbs. assisted by Mrs.
Jules Richardson, Mrs. Terry, Rev. j.
A. Cruzan, Sheriff Andrews and others,
received those arriving in the center Of
the handsomely decorated church par
Tors, while the affair as a whole lacked
in other respects the formality which
one considers as the inevitable attend
| ant of a reception; for everybody was
| there for a good time and to help every
body else have the same. During the
evening, musical selections, vocal and
instrumental, were rendered by Mrs. J.
T. Lewis, Miss Potter, Professor Heidi
man and others, and the latter portion
fof the evening was rendered still more
pheasant by the choice menu of eatables
provided by the ladies of the church, and
which threw all previous efforts Of the
sort INTO the Sndue, II INTO ODiINlOI-
Rev. J. A. Cruzan spoke a few words
very happily upon the departure of Mr..
/ and Mrs. Gibb and the loss which that
departure would entail upon the COM
munity, while he found some comfort
| in the fact that they were not to leave
the Island altogether. Mr.. Glib respond
ed briefly, thanking the friends of him.
self and Mrs. Glib for their tokens of
regard. The evening closed with the

Mr. C. C. Kennedy.
BRILLIANT SOCIAL EVENT.
/ Last Saturday evening Mr. and Mrs.
Baldwin entertained about seventy OF
the young people of Hilo at their home
lin Puueo. The lawn was lighted by clus-
ters of colored electric lights rivalling
the brilliant moonlight. The verandas
were enclosed and the house was most
iartistically decorated with ferns and
lcocoanut leaves. Mr.. Hoffman, with his
violin, accompanied by Mrs. Tracy on
the piano, furnished most acceptable mu-
sic for the dancing, which continued un-
It'll u o'clock. A quiet, cozy nook was
provided for those who preferred cards
to dancing.
