The concert last evening by the
Morrisville Band, in front of the Ran
dali, was in honorof Chas. E. Hooper,
who, with Mrs. Hooper, has been
stopping at the Randall for a few
days. Mr.. Hooper is a musician and
a former leader of large military
band and has been much interested
in the progress of the boys. On sew
eral occasions he has sent the leader
music, for which the band was very
grateful. After several selections,
rendered in good style, Mr.. Hooper
treated the boys to soda at the
fountain of Slayton & Sanders.
The fair weather of the past few
days has advanced the work on the
browne block to noticeable degree
and about ten days more of fair
weather will finish the brick work on
the building. The walls are to be
plastered entirely with asbestic from
the mines of the New England Min
ing and Milling Company of Elem.
Asbestic is the waste or refuse from
the asbestos rock and as it makes an
entirely fireproof wall it is coming
into quite common use. 1t has been
used recently in the construction of
several large buildings in Canada.

A horrible story of attempted
outrage and condign punishment
comes to us from Loreauvllle.
Thursday night last, at about Z
o'clock, the daughter of one of
Loreauville's prominent citizens
was attacked by colored fiend
while in the yard Of her fathers
residence. The yonng lady fought
vigorously and her cries brought
relief from the house of her bro
ther-in-law, who beat the brute,
who escaped in the darkness. From
the fact that the man had been a
trusted servant in the household
for years, Identification was easy.
The alarm was at once given aud
+ four or fivehundred men at once
started systematic search which
lasted all Thursday night and all
day Friday. Late yesterday eve
ming he was captured and hung to
the bridge that spans the bayou
at Maria Central Factory. While
these outrages have been commit
ted in other sections Of the South,
our parish has. been singuiarly
free from this crime, aud it is a
matter Of great humiliation that
our community should be the next
one to furnish the victim. Whe-
Their or not the recent turning
loose of men by the jurors char
ged with this crime has anything
to do with emboldening brutes is
a matter that good citizens are de-
batting in their minds. Mistaken
clemency on the part of those
whose duty it is to protect, car
return as a curse. This crime Of
all Others should not have The
slightest mercy shown tn. l
Enterprise.

that it is all supplied at a small

SPORTS At
The FAIR
Baseball Games in
Prospect for
Week.
TOURNAMENT MAY
| BE ARRANGED
Excursions Along Line Of Oahu
Railroad During Entire Week
of the Exposition.

Plans for the making attractive OF
the Merchants Fair engaged the at
tention of the members of the commit
tee at the meeting held yesterday az
ternoon. There was full meeting and
after some discussion the chairman
was given authority to take up meas
ures for the exploitation of the amuse-
,nent features which will have no mean
place in the weeks program.
Chairman Helm reported to the COM
mittee that he had arranged with MI
Smith, passenger and ticket agent OF
the Oahu railroad, that there should be
granted to the visitors to Honolulu dur
ing the time covered by the Merchants
Fair, the regular excursion rates from
this city to Kahuku and all way points.
so that any persons coming into the
city should have the opportunity to
make the trip TO Waialua for the day
stop, or even for longer visit. without
having to face the possibility of max
ing the trip as one of vast crowd,
gathered by the attraction of a cheap
ticket.
Sporting features are now under con-
sideratiOn and there seems to be rare
chance that something not yet attempt
ed will be done. The plan is that OF
Deputy Sheriff, Chillingworth, VINO
wants to see an inter-island champion
ship baseball series played here. There
have been games between Honolulu and
other cities, and there have been other
inter-island games, but a series to be
played here one which will give the
men a chance to get ashore and find
themselves before they have TO go to
work to play ball, will be the very first
of the kind to be proposed for the pur-
pose of finding the real champions OF
the diamond on the Islands. The Dep
uty Sheriff believes that he can find
teams from Hilo, Wailuku and from
Kauai ready to undertake the game,
and that these. with two teams from
this city, Would make a fine tourna-
lfnent
The question of race day has not
been abandoned altogether, but there
seems less chance that it could be made
worthy of the event. The horses have
gone out of training to some extent,
and the expense of again getting the
animals ready for such races would be
greater than the association would feel
willing to advance for the afternoon of
racing. There are some drivers who
think that with the chances for a good
gate there could be arranged some fine
races which would draw some of the
best horses of the shortstop class, and
that these would give to the visitors
game enough to make them enjoy the
afternoon at the park.
There are other features which may
be expected to be raised .during the
pending discussions of the matters
which are to lead up to the consumma-
ton of the plans of the fair promoters
One of these has been discussed for
some time and contempiates the ar
ranging of fete masque ball for
the closing night of the fair, so that
the visitors to the city may have every
opportunity to enjoy themselves.
