weird and fascinating scene. Witches,
black cats, bats, imps and love sick
| maidens flew and hung among stars
on the wall, or chung to the phases
of the many moons which doomed up
gorgeous and yellow around the room.
Upon the stage was the home of the
witch. Her boiling cauldron emitted
volcanic fumes as she made her bat
wing brew. Aside from the greenery
used in decoration, there was every
where all conceivable forms of the
things that witches love-. Banners,
with words printed on them that would
make children SILVER were stretched
above doorways. The p1audits of ev-
cry guest present were for Mrs.
Hayes who designed the whole plan.

FAREWELL TO MINISTER.
Episcop allan and Methodist, Congre-
gationalist and Catholic, also a goodly
sprinkling of the religious monde
script, were very much in evidence at
the Farewell Social" rendered to Mr.
| and Mrs. Nash on Tuesday evening.
The event was a brilliant success
from every point Of view and reflects
great credit upon the ladies who had
the affair in charge.
The last item upon the program was
| the presentation of a handsome
''Tapa" and Magic basket of Ha-
| waiian make, containing many yalu-
able souvenirs of the love and esteem
| which Mr.. and Mrs. Nash have won
| amongst the people during their So
journ in Hilo.-Hawaii Herald.
HELPING THE RAILWAY.
Last week a gentleman from Ha-
| nakua stepped into the Hilo bank
and said to Mr.. Peck. Here is ore
thousand dollars to help in your Ko-
| hala-Hilo railroad enterprise. It's all
| the ready cash have, but the quick
er that road is built, the better off we
will be in Hamakua."
The gentleman in question had
| worked hard for his $1,000, and his
savings would not go far in the con-
| struction of two and half mil
| lion dollar road But he showed the
proper spirit. A thousand men like
| this one man would transform the
| Island of Hawaii.-Hilo Tribune.
KILAUEA ACTIVE.
| Hawaii's two volcanoes are playing
a duet. Kilauea broke out Tuesday
night and is running a counter attrac-
ton to faithful Mokuaweoweo at the
summit of Mauna Loa. Wednesday
night the volcano at the top of the
mountain burned steadily and glori-
ously all night sending up a straight
| column of fire and Illuminated smoke.
Halemaumau in the Kilauea crater
was also brilliant. A lake has formed
l ~, hot 81 {o,.
inrushing flood of lava can be heard
quite distance from the edge of the
| crater. Above the red hot cracks
which are one of the marvels of the
Kilauea crater, can be heard the swish
| of rushing lava beneath. The whole
northern section of the bed of Kilauea
shows a rising temperature.
The above state of things was tele-
phoned to the Tribune yesterday by
! Manager Bidgood of the Volcano
House. He says the lava is breaking
| into Halemaumau from beneath a
ledge in the southern corner. A lake
| of large proportions has already been
/! formed and the illumination is an in
teresting sight even from the Volcano
| House.-Hilo Tribune.
