work of his high office there. He has
written to the President asking that

be able 20 remain in California long
enough to do justice to the commits

Raffaelo Martini, a wealthy cattle
man of Half Moon Bay a bay town
near San Francisco, has bought the
famous Twin Fir vineyard at Vine
HILL Cal, which was owned by Castle
a. Cooke of Honolulu. The purchase
price was $l2,5o0. The ranch includes
80 acres. mostly set in wine grapes of

Used. The price paid by Martini does

News has been received here of the
marriage in Honolulu of Frank w.
Smith, formerly OF the California Ho-
tel. says the Bulletin. His bride was a
Miss McCully and she is said to be one
of the presttiest and richest women in
the island. She is the only child of a
wealthy mother and has already had

Smith game here from Santa Clara
about three years ago. He had been a
clerk for time at the Sea Beach hotel
and again at the Hotel Del Monte. On
his arrival in San Francisco he accept
ed employment at the California and
for nearly a year was one OF the chief
clerks Of that hotel. Two years ago ne
left the California and accepted po-
sition in the Royal Hawaiian hotel in
Honolulu. While occupying that posi-
ton he became acquainted with Miss
McCully and after years courtship
won her as his bride. The marriage
was celebrated a fortnight ago, and
the cards of the newly married couple
have just reached this city. About the
time Smith took Miss McCully as his

The Bulletin society editress says:
Numerous affairs will be given at
Honolulu in honor Of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Irwin upon their arrival the
latter part of the week. For nearly
twelve years the Irwin mansion was
the gathering place for everything that
was pleasant in society. Did a stran-
ger of any note visit the islands, letters
to Mr.. and Mrs. Irwin were the first
presented, and having the entire there
it was enough. When Mr.. and Mrs.
Seawell took up their residence there
the families We're most intimate, and
/ the combination was a very strong one.
Never in the history OF Hawaii was
there so much going on in the social
line, and with these two bright women
at the head there was nothing lacking
to make the times remembered for
many years to come. l fancy the
laughter loving, mirth inspiring Mrs.
Seawell must often in her home in con-
ventional Bath sigh for the doice-far-
niente life in her wave-washed home of
the Pacific.
The Town Talk says of Organist Ste
wart, whose oratorio, THE Nativity"
was recently sung in Honolulu: H. j.
Stewart is soon to return to the fish
pots of Bohemia. Cultured Boston was
all right for a change. but the great
organist longs for the society of his
old friends and he has found that the
pleasant associations of many years
cannot be replaced. The news Of his
intention to return came in a letter to
friend a few days ago. He states
that his contract with Trinity church,
Boston, does not expire until Septem-
Der LIST, and that he has already mott
fed the authorities that he does not
wish to renew it, thereby giving them
ample opportunity to find another or
sanist. But they will find it hard to
secure another Stewart, for he is one
of the best organists in the country;
and he met with great professional
success in Boston. To his friend he
wrote: Il suppose / lived too long in
California ever to become reconciled
to life elsewhere" He expects to be
back by July LIST, believing that a sue
cessor may be engaged before that day
1t seems curious that an Englishman
should grow tired of Boston, which is
States. But DIR. Stewart is not the
only one who has preferred San Fran
cisco to either Boston or London. Bo-
hernia will gladly welcome him for his
mots and music We're much missed
at the club jinks. DIR. Stewart posses
ses the knack of setting any kind of
verses to music and his services were
always in demand for everything in
the line Of melody from chants to rag
time. His fame as a composer is not,
by the way, confined to the Bohemian
Club or San Francisco, His church
compositions are in the repertory OF
chors in other cities, and his oratorio
The Nativity" was recently sung in
Honolulu. i look to see his operas
some day in the regular repertory of
stock operate companies. Their pro-
duction was in every instance success
full, but their popularity proved evan
escent and not by any means COM
mensurate with the merit OF the works.
