Age of the Brnss BMnd .

~As antiquities go nowadays sayP
Harvey Sutherland in Ainslees, the
brass band is very ancient institution
That is to say, its inventor died in 1894
at the age OF eighty. There were horns
before Adolphe Sax, 10 he sure. but not
such horns as We have now, for they
could not play every tune in every key
They could not even play scale in any
key. The very first band entirely of
brass was organized in 1895, and
doubt IL any OF the instruments then
used could be played upon by modern
musicians without special practice. 1t

KONA PLANTATION IN DANGEt
OF HEAVY LOSS.
The Proposition Before Humphreys
This Afternoon-Must get Money or
Close Down with Great Loss.

The Kona Sugar Company's affairs
will have to be closed up and the plan
tauOn sold under the TeCeIvershlp, un-
less some one comes forward with the
money to help 1t along i'm the very near
future. The matter comes up before
Judge Humphreys this afternoon, when
the court may make an order. Receiver
w undeubeIE will report to the court
the result OF his work SO far.
The decision OF Brewer and Company
that the hrm would not take hOId of
and finance the KOna proposition
leaves nothing for the receiver to do
but close IL up. unless money is Sc
cured from another source. This Is
hard to do. OwinE to the fact that the
sum needed is a very large one. 30 far
no propositions have been made Fred
Wundenberg is looking for a man with
a couple of hundred thousand dollars
he is not using.
There will be very heavy loss n the
plantation has to close down. The crop
of cane novR,9n the land is estimated to
be worth S2OU.OOO. 1t will be a loss un-
less il Is looked after and harvested.
To take 1t and harvest it now would
undoubtedly be paying proposition,
but no one has come forward who
wants to do it, under the receivership
proceedings
One Of the main difficulties is thought
TO be the fact that those who take up
the proposition cannot get more than
the legal fees or commissions. The re-
ceiver cannot make any arrangement
whereby a firm might be allowed to
have the benefit of the profit which
would acrue from harvesting the three
thousand or thirty-five hundred tons
of sugar.
The Investigations so far made under
the receivership have made it certain
at least that the plantation cannot con-
tinue unless cash is forthcoming al
most at once. Closing down is there
fore the only course open to the re-
ceiver unless he gets the money.

THE EBOER FUND

Colonel Suffering -Boer Lake and Miss
MCAlpin were served this morning with
materialman's lien secured by Levers
and Cooke, for sos alleged to be due the.
firm for material used at Kalihi, in pre-
parations for the picnic that was to
have made South African prisoners
bless the name Of Lake and the gen.
erosity of Hawaii. Levers and Cooke
are said to be one of many local con-
Germs that were taken in by the SOutl.
African scheme. They were to be 1aid
out Of the receipts, before the Beers got
any.
Miss McAlpin's connection with the
proposition is on account of her having
been employed bv the colonel to assist
She was supposed to be under the New
York South African committee, which
body 1t was stated. had authorized
Lake to employ such an assistant. Miss
McAlpin Is now getting the bills, for
salary. Once, while the work was be-
ing done she asked the enterprising
colonel what her salary was to be. The
colonel had not yet heard from the New
York committee. He couldn't say just
what Miss MCAlpin's salary would be-
but IL would undoubtedly be some thing
liberal, for the New York South African
committee was not a cheap proposition.
The Kalihi scheme is known to have
brought In about $3.50 but the where
abOuts of the cash is not known. The
number Of tickets distributed or sol
was 15l, at a dollar each. Perhaps the
charitable colonel favored a few friends
with free tickets, though as the picnic
was a benefit. this would have been
against the rules.
/ Since the picnic ended in a fizzle and
the military man who ran IL was eX-
posed, Miss McAlpin has found that
she has many bills as souvenirs of the
occasion. The colonel used her as a
sort of assistant to his credit and she
was represented as Jointly responsible
For this reason Levers and Cooke In
clude her in their action to protecI
themselves in the matter of the lum'
Der bill.

MURDER WAS DONE

Mail advices received this moning
from Kau go to show that the native
woman, whose death at HOnuapO last
Sunday was reported by the officers Of
the steamer Kauai, was a victim Of
foul play. Her name was given first
as Mrs. KahanO but the Mauna Loa
news supplies more details and cor
rects several errors made by the Kau-
ais report.
It appears that last Monday evening
William Thompson a we'll known ma
tive attorney of Naalehu, and former
member of the legislature gave an Ella
borate luau. Considerable swiDes and
other liquor was drunk and toward the
end of the entertainment a general
row ensued. Bartleman the white SUI
gar boiler for the Naalehu Plantation,
went over to the Thompson place and
stopped the row.
Everything appears to have quieted
down but early in the morning the body
of Mrs. Thompson was found lying In
the front yard. near the lanai, with the
side of her head smashed in. She had
been dead an hour or more when found
l. was evident that the woman had
been murdered and the authorities i'm
mediately began to investigate. At the
time the Mauna Loa sailed, no arrests
had been made and practically little
had been learned Of the supposed
crime.
