MARI Wants a Fair.

The Maui News of August 2, says:
There is no particular reason why
Wailukp should not give two or three
days agricultural and industrial exhi-
bition in connection with the Fourth OF
July races in 1908, and many good rea-
sons why this should be done. all of
which suggest themselves to the most
casual thinker. The Maui Racing As
ISOLATION should take this matter in
hand as soon as the August races are
over, and the movement once inaugu-
rated by them, should meet with hearty
cooperation by the citizens of Wailuku
and Maui generally, more especially
those who are interested in agricultu-
raj, horticultural and industrial mat
ters. 1t is quite sure that the result
of the Honolulu Fair will be so bene-
fetal and encouraging that an agri-
cultural fair at Honolulu will be fix
ed annual affair Now is the time for
Maui to step into the ring, claim a date
for next year, organize, and begin at
once to get ready for next years agri-
cultural fair on Maui.

SPEAKS NO MORE
FOREIGN LINGO
Drug Clerk Gets Into a Bad
Fix With Spanish
Ladies.

There's man in a Honolulu drug
store who will never again endeavor to
display his linguistic abilities. He has
travelled in many countries and is just
the class OF honest gentleman adven-
tuFer" that one runs across now and
again nowadays, During his travels he
has secured a knowledge Of many Ian
guages. He has been proud to show
off this knowledge on various occasions
heretofore, but he declares now that
nothing less than a question of life and
death will induce him to- ever again use
his abilities In this direction. And the
cure came about In this way.
| Yesterday the Spanish gypsy queen
and her two daughters went the rounds
OF the Honolulu stores to get par
ticular kind of medicine, but not one
of the stores they first called on could
furnish what they wanted, as the
clerks could not understand Spanish.
But in Fort street store the gypsy got
a huge surprise for the clerk there an
swered her questions in the pure Cas-
lillian tongue, he having spent several
years among the pretty senoritas OF
Mexico In learning it. Had not
counter interviewed the gypsy would
have had both her arms about the
clerk as her cup of Joy seemed full to
Overlooking. The obliging clerk smiled
and brought forth the medicine roquir-
ed and then the fun commenced.
Surely" said the gypsy you would
not charge money to the daughter of a
h1rn lot Of mad
icine. This in Spanish.
AYE, and may it please your Majes-
ty, would inform you that that is our
custom" This also in Spanish.
Then the dusky daughter of highroad
and camp forgot all\ about her ancient
blue blooded ancestors and got down
10 business. She declared that she was
only poor woman and seizing the
clerks hand, declared that she would
pay by telling his fortune. Some ladies
at the soda fountain began to conJure
up ideas of a wronged woman. The
clerk was protesting and when the
gypsy had gene so far as to tell him
he was to become a general under Don
Carlos and be the saviour of the father
land of Columbus, he remarked that 1t
was no go, as only the boss" would
be able to accept payment for medi-
cine by a fortune being told. The shin
ing-eyed daughter of the blue skies i'm
mediately declared that she must see
the boss and it was with the greatest
difficulty that she was persuaded to
pay up in hard cash. Then, wonder or
wonders, the woman heaped all the adj |
jectives in her Spanish vocabulary upon
the poor dispensers head. She declared |
that he was rogue and vagabond
and also that she had enough money to !
buy up all the property owned by him !
self and his relatives. Gold was show |
cred on the counter. AS if the old wom- |
ans gold did not make a big enough |,
showing both the younger damsels /
brought out gold from folds and mys- !

la condition for the purchase of lease
agree TO keep the land froo from ham
tana This is one OF the conditions
which win very likely form a part of
future leases II the action of the Exec
utive Council at yesterdays meeting Is
any criterion.
Land matters were principally con-
sidered in yesterdays session. Land
Commissioner Boyd was authorized to
offer for sale 21-year lease to 500 acres
be $500 F. G.. Correa made application
for the lease, and the Land was put up
at his request One of the conditions
of the lease is that the purchaser shall
keep the land free from lantana during
his occupancy of the premises.
The Hawaiian Agricultural Company
applied for a nve-year lease on a 225-
acre tract at Kaalaala, Hawaii, and
Commissioner Boyd was authorized TO
offer it at public auction at an upset
price of $3.50 per acre. The commits
sioner is also authorized to offer for
least Lot / in Oneloa. Hawaii, with

Attorney General Dole submitted to
the meeting the following opinion:
Honolulu. II. l., Aug. 6, 1902.
Honorable James H. Boyd, Superin-
tendent Of Public Works, Honolulu.
Dear Sir:-I beg to acknowledge re-
ceipt of a copy Of a communication
from Mr.. Charles NJ. Cooke relative ito
back water rates against the DIR. Mich
OILS lot, and your request for my opin-
ion AS to whether it is within the power
owner OF the DIR. Nichols lot responsible
for water rates contracted prior to his
purchase of said lot
We have no statute making water
rates a lien upon property, only a reg
ulation Of the department making them
a personal charge against the owner
in default OK payment by his tenant.
The owner Is not responsible for water
used BEFORE he bought the property.
Very respectfully,
tSigned) z. P. DOLE,
Attorney General.

ing behind smiling, the clerk soon found
himself with great beads of perspira-
tor standing on his brow. He gave the

departed. As they passed out the gypsy
cried:
