mand for Immediate Payment

Vote Against the Statehood Rider of
the postoffice Appropriation Bill.

MISSED THE
POLO GAME

buggy Saturday to attend the polo
game at Moanalua- He was late in
starting and speeded his horse along
the road TO the polo grounds. I'm

his horse over a level stretch. The
mounted officer thought crazy man
was in charge of the buggy and started
in pursuit. He caught the man and
stopped the horse.
The young man informed the officer
that he just had to get TO the polo
game in a certain time or he would be
late for the beginning. He tried to
persuade the officer that the occasion
was unusual but the officer refused to
argue the point. The driver consider
ed that argument being useless he
would go tc the game anyhow, and at
any gait he chose, and he started off
again in the direction of Moanalua.
He was rounded up a second time and
taken to the police station, and never
saw even the latter part of the game.

YOUNG WIDOW
GETS PROPERTY

The funeral of Candida, a well
known Portuguese storekeeper, who
died Thursday, was held yesterday
from the Catholic church. The funer-
al was largely attended, the deceased
having been a member of the ST. An
tonic society. The mission band lead
the funeral procession.
Candido's death was very sudden,
and the police were asked to investi-
gate. Nothing suspicious was found
however. The deceased was nearly
seventy years Of age. A year ago his
wife died and recently he married a
girl of nineteen. His children, two
grown sons and three daughters, all
married, objected to the wedding but
the old man had his way. His prop
erty consisting of a store at the head
of Emma street was left to the young
widow.

The utilization of salt water for
street sprinkling and on fires has often
been discussed and the shortage in the

in its support. The use of sea water

been objected to by citizens, but so far
without avail. This water ruins rub
