MAUI, Dec. 5.-Monday, Nov. Goth,
the annual convention of the Maui
Teachers Association took place in the
Waikiki school house, C. E. Copeland
of Kula presiding. The number of
teachers present was somewhat small
er than is customary on account of
heavy rains on East Maui. Though
| the original program was abridged ow-
| ing to the non-attendance of several
teachers, all the papers read were most
excellent. The absence of lively dis
| cussion of the various subjects pre-
scented rendered the occasion unduly
formal. The following were the events
of the day:

AGED HAWAIIAN DEAD.
Wednesday, the End, an aged Ha-
waiian named T. Kalaau was found
dead in his house at Keokea, Kula.
Some of the. neighbors missing the old
days, informed Deputy Sheriff Morton
who was obliged to break the door,
into the dwelling to gain entrance.
The sheriff found the body in an adj
yanced state of decomposition so it is
probably that death had taken place
several days previously. He was last
seen alive by his grandson on the Sat
urday preceding.
T. Kalaau was about 20 years of age
at the time of HIS demise and was born
and bred in Kula. He leaves an in
valid wife who is at present in Wal
luku and six grown-up children. The
verdict of the coroner's jury convened
on the Sd was death from natural
causes" DR.. Dinegar testified that
death ensued from heart failure.
