NOTABLE MAN PASSES.
The news of the death of Augustine
Enos which took place at Wailuku on
the 7th, caused by heart disease, was
received by Maui kamaainas with
much regret.
Augustine" was a man who pos
sessed breadth of character, most ge-
nial disposition and much natural
shrewdness which, combined with eco
nomical habits, aided him in accumu-
lating a fortune despite the fact that
the earlier advantages of an educa-
ton were denied him. AS the first citi-
zen and most prominent member OF
the Maui Portuguese colony, he was
trusted by all his countrymen and as
a man of sterling honesty was re-
spected by Sil nationalities. His pop
ularity on Maui was such that had he
wished it he could have taken lead
ing part in island politics, but he pre-
ferred the quiet life of a storekeeper
which he led in Wailuku since 1869,
though most of his property was ac-
quired as one of the two owners of the
Il ,; 40 pthpr he
ing his old friend, John Ferreira, who
died in 1908
On wednesday flags in Wailuku and
Kahului were at half-mast as a token
of mourning.
NOTES.
On Tuesday, District Magistrate
Chas. Copp committed a Korean to the
Honolulu insane asylum. The Korean,
a resident of the Kaluanui plantation
camp, is but % years of age and is
possessed of a suicidal mania.
The steamer Olympia touched in at
Kahului on Saturday morning for the
purpose, so 1t is supposed, of taking on
aboard Japanese passengers for the
mainland. The steamship remained
far out in the bay, not coming inside
the harbor proper. The captain came
ashore, remained awhile and then de-
parted, heading his vessel toward Hilo.
From something he said it was con-
iectured that he would return for the
Japanese. From rumors prevalent in
Kahului. Wailuku and Puunene, the
number of little brown men, intend
ing to depart varied from 100 to 3OO-
the former number being probably
more correct though it is difficult to
make any estimate. Nothing more
has been heard concerning the Olym-
pia's whereabouts.
The Maui Lodge of Masons held a
meeting at Wailuku Saturday evening.
Their new lodge room at Kahului Is
