The people of Waimea and Makawel
gave a masquerade bail in honor OF
George Washington's birthday. Almost
everyone was in costume, presenting
quite a picturesque scene. The grand
march began promptly at p. m.
Among those wearing pretty costumes
were Miss Quint, representing rose;
Mrs. Borchgrevink as America" Mrs.
Gay and Miss HARDWOOD as might;
Mrs. FassOrth, Mrs. Omstead and Mrs.
Hofgaard in peasant costumes; Mrs.
3. F. Sandow as bud" Mrs. Arendt
in a prettily designed card costume
Miss Rice OF Lihue as Lady Washing
ton" a costume most appropriate for
the occasion. The gentlemen were in
pleasing costumes of various descrip-
tons. The only disappointment of the
evening was the absence of its promot-
en- Mr.. c. b. Hofgaard, and Mr..
Brandt. who were caleld TO Honolulu.
At midnight a most delicious supper
was Mahukona Meteor.
Miss Rice and Miss Wilcox of Lihue

CONVICT WOODS
SEEN AT KALIlIl

And br'er rabbit. he lay low. And
Br'er Woods he lay just a little lower
than the fraternal rodent is reputed to
have done.
Up to last night Woods, the escaped
negro convict, was stin at large. Manuel
Castahna reported to Deputy Sheriff
Chillingworth yesterday morning that the
church. at the head of Kalihi valley. on
Portuguese woman for a loaf of bread.
Investigation proved both OF these
statements to be true. All day long yes
terday officers, mounted and on foot.
searched the Kalihi district, but unsuc-
cessfully.
Many reports have been received at the
police station concerning Woods where
abouts during the last two days, locat-
ing him at various points from Kalihi
to Waikiki. Public alarm Is responsible
to a great extent for this. A person
sees a strange colored man in his vic:n-
ity and straightway telephones the police
station that he has seen Woods. Then
again. fooling the police is a form of
popular practice not to be despised by
the frivolously minded. when such an
excellent opportunity as the present ma
terialiZes.
The last report received by the police
yesterday afternoon was that Woods had
been seen IN the rear of Kamehameha
Girls School mountain home at Kalihi.
Some girls told Professor Thompson
that they had seen colored man
prowling about, and he notified the
police.

DlAS WAS ChOKED
AND THEN ROBBED

daring hold-up is said to have taken
place on Queen street, near Fort street,
late on Saturday night. AS a young
Portuguese hack driver named Dias
was walking home after having put up
his rig for the night, he saw a drunken
man lying on the sidewalk and another
man STOPPING over him and going
through his pockets.
Dias says that just as he passed the
man asked him if he had half a. dollar
about him. D.as answered in the mega
tive, whereupon the manseized him by
the throat and after half choking him.
relieved him of ten dollars in gold and
some odd silver. He then made off in
the direction OF the waterfront.
The victim of the robbery hurried to
the police station and reported the hold
UP. Officers were dispatched in haste to
the waterfront, but no traces of the rob-
Der could be found. Dias described his as
sailant as being a short man, wearing a
a hard black felt hat.
