X. p. HALL FIRE.

A fire which came near being
very serious in nature occurred in
the new Knights of Pythias build
ing.
Workmen were installing new
Aceteline Gas plant and were
working in the attic of the build
ing. Owing to the attic being dark
a large hanging oil lamp was used
to light the room.
By breaking of a fastening the
lamp fell to the floor and a quanti-
ty of oil was spilled on the floor
which became ignited and soon
the floor and wall were ablaze.
Through the quick action of S.
b. Harry and D. L. Meyer manager
of Maui Wine L & Co. the blaze was
smother with bags. The lamp
while still ablaze was wrapped in
bags and thrown into the street.
A fire alarm was given and the
volunteer fire corps turned out
promptly taking with them the
hose cart. On the down grade on
Main Street the cart became un-
manageable and ran into the fence
in front of the residence of T. B.
Lyons narrowly missing police
officer Valdemar Rogers who was
assisting in steering the cart. That
he did not suffer broken leg is
MYSTERY.
The K. P. Hall is a new build
ing and one of the most expensive
buildings in town. Had it burned
the Knights would have suffered
great loss, The Maui Lodge of
masons would have suffered for
they also meet in this building.
The heaviest losers however would
have been the Maui Wine & Liquor
Co. who occupy the ground floor of
the building and have a large new
warehouse adjacent to the hall
building.
Had the fire gotten beyond con-
troll the total loss would probably
have been near $4,000, while the
insurance is about $4,000. While the
prompt action of the fire corps is
to be commended we suggest that
they drill more frequently in future
for work that will surely be theirs.

OBITUARY NOTICE.

In another column we announ
the death of Mr.. w. P. L. Bett
head chemist at the Puunene Mill,
which occurred at his residence
early Saturday morning Nov. 4.
The cause of death was heart
failure, Mr.. Bett had not been feel
ing very we'll for several days pre-
viously, but he was in good spirits,
and evidently felt better the even
ing of the 3rd, so that his sudden
end came as a great shock to his
friends and acquaintance.
Mr.. Bett was born at Pitermo, ,Lun-
die Dundee Scotland March q, 1873,
and was in the 2Sth year of his age.
He was educated at the High School
and at University College Dundee,
and came out to this country some
five years ago in the company OF
several other young Scotchmen,
and with some of them entered the
employ of the Hawaiian Com
mercial & Sugar Co. He leaves a
widow and two children at Puu-
meme, mother and sister in Scot
land and one brother in South
America.
Mr.. Bett filled a responsible
position in the Puunene Mill with
credit to himself and satisfaction
to his employers, and while of a
retiring disposition, was much liked
and respected by those who knew
him well. He was a member of the
Hawaiian Sugar Chemists Associa-
ton, to the proceedings of which
he has contributed valuable infor-
nation. He was also Freemason
and member of Lodge Maui
The funeral services were held
at the Masonic head quarters, and
at the Church of the Good Shepherd,
Wailuku. The burial place was Wal
luku Cemetery. The remains were
accompanied to Gods acre by the
bereaved widow, the Masons in a
body, and large number of SYM
pathetic friends, and were laid to
rest according to the solemn and
impressive rituals of the Episcopal
Church and the Masonic Order.

FUNERAL OFFREDBRICK CHAM
BERS BALDWIN.

The remains of Frederick Cham
bers Baldwin, the fifth son of the
Hon. H. P. Baldwin, were inferred
in the Baldwin Lot" at Makawao
Cemetery, Saturday, November
14th.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted by the Rev. B. V. Bazata,
Pastor of the Makawao Foreign
Church, assisted by a Quartette
Choir, at the Baldwin home,
Spreckelsville: large number of
friends were present at the house.
The pail bearers were Messrs. F..
A. Alexander, H. B. Weller, D.
Murdock, w. Nicoli, D. c. Lindsay,
David Fleming, l.. Won Tempsky,
J. N. S. Williams, J. B. Thomson
and L. M. Baldwin.
Bishop Restarick and the Rev.
Canon Ault were present, amongst
many other friends.
The casket containing the re-
mains was literally hidden from
view by floral offerings of the most
beautiful description, which were
sent from San Francisco, Honolu-
lu, and from all over Maui, testify
to the widespread love and esteem
with which Fred Baldwin was re-
garded.
At the conclusion of the services
at the house, the funeral process
sion was formed, and slowly wend-
ed its way along the road lead
ing to Makawao Cemetery. AT
Spreckelsville the road was lined
on both sides by crowds of employ
ees of the H. G. & S. Co; at Paia
by a large number of the Paia peo-
pie; and at a junction of the roads,
by contingent from Hamakua-
poke, all of whom evinced great
sympathy and respect by silence
and uncovered heads.
A most pathetic incident of the
melancholy journey, was the ap-
pearance at the fence of the polo
ground pasture, of "Bowery," Freds
favorite horse which was given to
him by his father some twelve
years ago. The beautiful animal
seemed to know that his master
was no more, and watched the pro-
cession pass with apparent interest.
OF the scores of horses in the pas.
ture, "Bowery" was the only one
to act in this way.
On arrival at the Cemetery, the
procession filed in silence to the
grave, where solemn prayers fol
the dead, and supplications for the
living were offered up by the Rev
DR.. E. G. Beckwith, the aged FRIEND
and counsellor, of the afflicted, in &
most touching manner; and th'
last sad offices were performed
amid the sobs of surrounding
friends, who wept in sympath!
with the bereaved father, mother
brothers and sisters, at the i'm
timely fate of one, cut off IN th'
morning of life, who was probabl!
the best loved of any of ou

vent its being blown away by the
prevailing winds. EXPERIMENT with
oil on a short section are to be
made shortly and if it proves sue
cessful it is to be hoped the county
will be able to co omplete the oil

1t has been the common belief
that road contracting is snap
yielding immense profits and that
any one of a practican mind could
enter this field with profit. The
worse is true for out of the dozen or
so OF road contrats let on Maui
during the last two years but three
or four have been of profit to the
contractor and these only in a
small way.
In an interview with Mr.. Duggan
he say that owning to the difficulty
of getting laborers there is not
as much in contrating as is gene
rally believed.

dences Of tyranny and oppression when
they are strong enough, while many
OF the unions harbor and encourage
criminals In their efforts to force

people. As public speaker lately
