CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION.
Christmas day on Maui was the cold
est and one of the stormiest of the
season. The constant rain prevented
the playing Of the polo game in Ma
kawao and other sport elsewhere.
House parties were the rule OF the day,
the Christmas tree and Christmas din
ner being prominent features o. the
entertainment within doors.
AT Maunaolu Seminary the principal
gave the 10 girls remaining during va
cation an especially good time. this
being her last Christmas at the
school. There was fine luau which
was much enjoyed.
Sunday the 18th, the interior of the
Paia Foreign church was profusely
adorned with bamboo and tall callas
and Rev. DIR. r. G.. Beckwith
preached an interesting Christmas SER
mons.
Maui Episcopalians were much pleas
ed to receive a Christmas letter from
Bishop Restarick. 1t Is a custom OF
his to greet his parishioners this way
every year
FELL OVER A CLIFF.
On the 18th at Kaonolu ranch the
Kula property of Gear & Lansing), the
dead body of a Chinese was found in a
badly decomposed state. 1t was
hardly more than skeleton and the
nationality of the deceased was prov
en- only by the cue.
Upon investigation It was shown
that the dead Chinese was Yung Hau
who some three months before, while
chopping wood on the side of a gulch
was accidentally killed by falling on
a ledge of rocks down the side of the
little ravine. A cross-cut saw and a
cane knife were found nearby and it
is probable that while saving a heavy
branch of tree, 1t suddenly gave way
and precipitated him on to the sharp

FROM THE MAUI PAPER.
Today, the wide tire law Is to go
into effect in Honolulu, and there may
be some effort to enforce II on the
other islands.
The law is, however, entirely too
sweeping, and in most respects 1t
should be allowed to remain a dead let
ter until the Legislature has time to
meet and repeal its most obnoxious
features. In large cities where heavy
loads are hauled, a wide tire and axles
of different length tend to protect the
streets, but for country roads, the wide
tire is of no particular benefit, and the
change to wide tires on Maui would
at the present time be an intolerable
nuisance and expense. Senator Bald
win is opposed to its enforcement.
