pretty in-and-out dance. and at its
close all are told to pull the ribbons.
when down comes shower OF gifts

WOMEN OF THE GREAT WEST


We mentioned to some friends that
we had aimed to acquire little wis
dom on the simple life, by studying
these new countries; but they went into
spasms Of impolite laughter at the sug-
gestion. 1t seems that the women hold
on to all the frills they used to know.
and acquire all the new ones they can
hear OF. as means of proving their
social status and of Transforming their
present place of residence into the
nearest possible semblance Of the one
they left behind. When they move
into town, OF the ranches, and discard
sunbonnets and Mother Hubbards,
they wear chiffon hats with brims a
few inches wider than eastern modes.
After a few years of town and club
life they become-oh, wearisOmely like
everyone else! One of them. herself a
woman of brains and energy said that
no one lived the simple life here. be-
cause none had the strength Of mind
to follow the recipe.
"And that is?" We asked.
"Just to be yourself" she answered.
And we ,.ought she was quite right

MAUI COUNTY HAS
HOME OF ITS OWN

Maui County has obtained a home
of its own, self-contained, which puts
it ahead of Oahu County for convent
ence of business.
superintendent of Public Works Hol-
loway stated yesterday that he had
executed a lease for fifteen years TO
the Board of Supervisors of Maui. of
the new Jail building at Wailuku. at a
rental of $500 a year. Thus Maui will
contribute an equivalent to the Terri
tory for the loan money expended in
erecting the building.
The County offices will occupy the
upper floor OF the building and the
Jail be in the basement.
As already stated this lease gives
Maui an advantage over Oahu. for
here the County offices are distributed
in three buildings. one of which is

CHINA IN AND OUT.

CHINA IN AND OUT.
The Pacific Mail steamship, China
arrived early yesterday morning from
San Francisco with large number OF
passengers for this port, and five days
later mail. The vessel departed at {
o'clock p. m. Ten passengers went
from here. Among those returning
home were Mr. and Mrs. George p.
Castle, the Misses Castle, and Mrs. II.
l.. Kerr, all of whom were in the San
Francisco disaster. Mr.. Castle was
suffering from pneumonia at the time
and the privations following his leav-
ing his apartments told upon him.
Mrs. Kerr also had a hard time and
suffered considerably.
The China on her last trip up to the
Coast arrived at San Francisco while
the city was burning. When the vessel
arrived, the military authorities took
possession of her, seized the provisions
aboard and cooking was done there for
a lot of houseless and destitute people
ashore.
The first news the people aboard the
vessel had of the disaster was when
the pilot came on. The utmost excite
ment prevailed on the steamer imme-
diately.
Mrs. C. Lacy Goodrich, wife of the
purser of the S. S. America Maru ar
rived here for a visit and went to La
hama last evening by the steamer
CIaudine. NJ. NJ O'Shaughnessy. the
engineer, also returned from the Coast.
A large number of the through passen-
gers are insular employees and school
teachers.
The China is carrying 1000 tons of
flour to China, where for the past few
months no flour haA been sent from
the Coast. Steamship officers say the
boycott has been broken.
ALL HAD BAD LUCK.
According to advices received from
Captain Gaffry of the American sailing
ship Arthur Sewall, that vessel has put
into AMER Point. Java, with a serious
fire on board The Arthur Sewall sail
ed from Philadelphia on December II
with large cargo of Standard Eureka
coal for the use of the United States
Navy. The cargo was to be delivered
at Cavite
Captain Gaffry telegraphed to the
Navy authorities at Cavite informing
them of his plight and asking for in
structions. Up to late hour this
morning no action had been taken and
it is doubtful whether any assistance
viii be sent him. as according to the
terms of the charter the coal must be
delivered in Manila and the Navy ac-
cepts no risks.
Considerable risk has already been !
run by vessels carrying the Standard |
Eureka brand of coal. The Erskine NJ |
Phelps and the Manga Riva were the
two last ships to bring this brand of |
coal to the Philippines and they both T
developed serious fires on the voyage.
1t is understood in Manila that there
is a representative of large patent |
chemical fire extinguishing company on
the Arthur Sewall who is making the
voyage to demonstrate to the world the
utility of the patent. This man is said
TO have been placed on board the ship
by the company which claimed that
the extinguishers supplied to the Frs
kline NJ. Phelps and the Manga Riva
were not properly used.-Manila Times,
