the Cave of the Winds. For many
travellers to the mouth, bid them lis

screeches within, and let them go away
wondering and unsatisfed.
A boy trapper observed the curios-

ladder by which they could safely de-
scend into the pit.
The boy charged for the use of his
ladder. The number of visitors in

popular show places of the mountains,
and the boy had thriving business.

Americans are masters of the ocean

Sunrise Magic.

Along the silent, sleepy street
The houses, gray and old,
Bloom into castles, ruby-peaked,
Their windows paned with gold
And rose lights flicker where but now
Were shadows, deep and cold.
The shafts Of ashen smoke that swept
From chimneys, tall and grim,
Now wind, in coils of violet
And purple soft and dim,
Then roll away in broken wheels
With amber spoke and rim.
The sun s red wand has made court
OF every barn and byre
And with single flashing gem
Has tipped the village spire,
And turned the snoWballs on the lawn
To balls of carmine fire.

a man and a woman. rush out of Mr..
Houghs garden and disappear down
the street He walked on, wondering
why the couple had acted so strangely,
and it was not long before two men
came out of the house, grabbed him
and sent for a policeman. At the po-
lice station he stated that he lived in
a house adjoining the brewery. He
said that he did not know where the
man and woman lived who had run
away.
Soon after Claudina had been locked
up, a man arrived at the police sta
ton and casually mentioned that about
$50 p. m, while walking along Queen
street, he had seen Antonia Colon, a
notorious Porto Rican woman, with
two Porto Rican men, going across the
Judiciary grounds from Queen street
toward the Opera House. In reply to
a question from Captain Parker. he
stated that the woman was living in
a house kept by an Italian, back of
the brewery.
Captain Parker Immediately dis
patched officers In search of Antonia
Colon, and she was found in the house
mentioned by Captain Parker's inform
ant. together with another Porto Rican,
by name Olympia Mendez. They were
taken to the police station, along with
a trunk found in the room. The trunk
was opened, and in it were found a
number of silver spoons and a quantity
of rich silk which Mendez said he had
purchased on a plantation.
He denied having had anything to
do with the robbery at Mrs. Housh's
house. and was held for investigation.
Antonia Colon admitted that she had
been on Queen street at the time men
toned by Captain Parker, but said
that she knew nothing OF the matter OF
the safe. She was allowed to so after
q searching examination.
The police will investigate the matter
thoroughly today. Deputy Sheriff Chill
has no doubt but that Clau-
dina is the man who attempted to get
away with the safe, and is OF the
opinion that through his arrest a num-
ber of recent crimes in the burglary !
line will be satisfactorily cleared up.

Bishops proposition to join the cathe-
dral parish, will be considered as out
side the church.
The Bishop does not anticipate the
members of the Second Congregation
will sign. He is much disappointed in
not being able to hand over an un-
divided church to the American bishop,
as he had planned.
Bishop Willis says he has several
times made Rev. Alex. Macintosh Of
fers which, had they been accepted,
would have resulted in his now being
the dean of the cathedral. The offer
was made with the proviso that he give
up the principalship of the Royal
School, which Mr.. Macintosh refused
to do. Even had the friends of Mr..
Macintosh desired q canonry for him,
the Bishop asserts he would not have
withheld that honor. His Lordship
claims that Mr.. Mackintosh's friends
wanted all or nothing, to which propo-
sition he could not consent. The Bish-
op does not believe a man can serve the
church and the state at the same time,
and that ii was upon this rock he and
Mr.. Macintosh split.
The Bishop mas clearly intimated that
he. intends to revoke Mr.. Mackintosh's
license TO preach or perform any of
the duties of a minister.

In the District Court yesterday a young
man named Pedgrift was fined one dollar
for having committed an assault and bat
terry on a young Jew named Edwards.

at some insulting remarks that Edwards
addressed to a lady friend of his on New
Years day at the Healani Yacht and Boat
Club dance, and, when he met him az
Waikiki on the following Saturday, gave
him q good thrashing
In imposing a nominal fine, Judge Will
cox remarked to defendant that he had
delayed chastisement too long, and that
as he had taken the young lady out with
him he would have been a cur had he
not protected her from the insult offered
by Edwards.
