Given By Savannah Music Club Be-
fore Large Audience.
The last meeting of the Savannah
Music Club for this season was held
in the Lawton Memorial last night
An excellent programme, consisting
entirely of operate selections, was
given and was enjoyed by a very large
audience despite the other attractions
of the evening.
One of the special numbers of the
programme was the playing of Miss
Addie May Gibson, who appeared be-
fore the Music Club for the first time
and created an excellent impression
by her artistic rendition of LISTS lie
Carnival de Pesth.''
The other numbers were all uni
formly good, so good, in fact that the
programme was generally admitted to
have been one of the best of the sea-
son. In a short address on various
matteys. which President T. Lloyd
Owens made, he took occasion to COM
pliment the Programme Committee,
Mrs. w. P. Bailey, Miss Meta Fret
we'll and Miss Birdie Einstein.
The announcement was made that a
benefit performance for the orchestra
will be given April 2S, and that the
annual concert of the club will take
place May I. Members of the organi-
cation will each be allowed to invite
two friends to this affair. A part of
the programme of the occasion will
consist of the singing of Mendelsschn' S
"Athalie" by the chorus, and the play
ing of the WAR March" from the
same composition, by the orchestra.

THE STYLISH FIGURE.

The essential characteristics of the

way to make the figure seem taller
than it is. This is accomplished by

ting the hips very closely. The skirt
of the gown is what is called sweep
length and the back is as deliberately
trimmed as the front.

WITNESSES GET
Up AGAINST It
FOUR NATIVES GET INTO BAD
PREDICAMENT BECAUSE TIL
TESTIFIED AGAINST SAILOR.

The preliminary eXamina ton of Sam
Xii the native sailor of the steamer
Niihau was held before District Ma
gistrate j. H. Waipuilani this week.
The evidence against the defendant APP
peared to be sufficiently strong TO war
rant the court committing him for
trial for malicious injury and also or
dering four native witnesses into GUS
tody in default of 800 bail each. Xii
was accused of throwing sacks of
sugar of the value of s. each, over
board from a shore boat
The defendants alleged offence oc-
Cured some weeks ago. When the
steamer Nifhau arrived at Honolulu,
Xii was taken into custody and then
sent up to Punaluu where the offence
was alleged To have been committed.
The preliminary examination was he'd
PENDANT being held for trial before
the third circuit court.
Deputy Sheriff w. Wills arrived on
the steamer Iwalani this morning with
the five prisoners in his custody. He
had them taken to the police station.
In all probability, some steps will
be taken to secure the release of the
four men detained as witnesses. In
fact they find themselves in a very I'M
fortunate predicament and are suffer-
ing from a visitation of hard luck
The men are sailors in the Inter
Island employ and We're sent to Kau
as witnesses to appear against Xii.
Now that their testimony has sue
.ceeded in causing them to be committed
for trial, they like Samson, appear to
have been swallowed in the ruin that
this testimony caused. Although Xii
has been held to answer, they too, find
themselves in practically the same pre-
dicament, for they will have to remain
in jail until after their evidence is
heard at his trial, Steps will no doubt
be taken to secure their release, as
they are certainly victims of rather a
harsh ruling.
