vance; what do you want wagon
forf You people ought to wait for a
rain for your water for the road, -
continued Chairman Hustace.
The engineer explained that his es-
tslnaFe he had shown the chair con-
tanned items for cost of watering the
road during matchmaking.
Fern thought it no more than right
that, If road were to be macada-
mixed, a spIinkling cart should be pro-
vided. Even a coral road could not
be laid without a sprinkler. Mr..
Dwight said he knew nothing about
the sprinkler proposition for that road.
Mr.. Hustace, however, harped on
the proposition that additional pur-
chases would put the county in debt
Economy was necessary. Hustace fl
second hand sprinkler if it were paid
for out of Eva funds. The sum of
$3.50 was finally appropriated for its
purchase.
The chair requested that the Hawai-
ian band be given vacation of two
weeks between now and the time the
Pacific feet returns from Samoa. He
said the band had already had two
weeks vacation, but it had been very
hard worked this summer, on the occa-
sion of the visit of the Atlantic and
Pacific fleets. The board willingly
gave the vacation asked for.
Kealoha said the Koolauloa bridge
needed repairs. He said the engineer
estimated it would cost about $500 for
repairs. Mr. Gere said the bridge was
worn out. He suggested, instead of
bridge, that the place be bulkheaded
and filed in with riprap. He consid-
cred the bridge in it's present state
was dangerous.
He also referred to two bridges in
Kaneohe. These were in immediate
need of repair. He thought he could
fix the Waiahole bridge at once, but
asked for material for the other
bridge Archer asked to defer the
matter one week, as the road commit
tee intended going over the entire
road He didn' t think anybody would
be killed meantime.
The road committee was immovabie
about its inspection date, one thing in
the way of attending to the public
business being the Republican conven-
ton.
However, Mr.. Gere was authorized
to make repairs to the bridges named,
but where they are to be rebuilt he
is to prepare plans.
Fern wanted the King street and
other bridges mauka painted. They
would first have to be Clipped. The
Rapid Transit kept its bridge in good
shape. The bridges will be looked
after.
The board adjourned until Septem-
Der IS at II O'Clock noon.

No more sumptuous hospitality was
lavished in Washington than that
emanated from Baron Won Sternberg
and his peculiarly alluring Kentucky
wife. The white ballroom OF the Ger
man embassy during the incumbency
of the Won Sternbergs has been the
scene OF princely festivities.
The pathetic little diplomat with the
gentle wistful face that always ap-
pealed. was man of large personal in
come. No woman in Washington
dressed more exquisitely than the
wife of whom he was so justly proud.
The invalid diplomat. because of the
determined malady that finally closed
his career, appeared seldom in society
last winter. His presence with his
wife at the last state function of the
season at the White House was the oc-
casion of heartfelt congratulations
among his friends. They believed he
was better and going to get well.

appropriation was available for the
construction of building for the male
nurses. all that 1t was possible to do
was to remodel one of the buildings
already on the hospital reservation.

was known as the east lodge. Several
years ago 1t was utilized for female pa

all lined with Vermont marble, are on
each floor. On the first floor is u
large club or reception room running
the entire width of the building, which
will be used as reading room or pos.

Stolen-Thief Escapes.

The rooms of Messrs. Poinboeuf
and Brown, two of the employees

half past nine o'clock, and ring

The same rascal who burglarized
the room last night was probably
there on the same mission the
previous night, for Mr.. Brown,
who came home about half past
nine that night, says that on his
entering the front door, some one
ran out of the rear door of the
building. Last night, however
the thief came earlier, as Messrs.
Brown and Poinboeuf returned to
their room about the same hour,
and found that their rooms had
been rihed. A ladder stood against
the wall under the window, by
which the burglar evidently enter
ed, and the back door, which hao
been fastened on the inside, stood
open, showing that the thief hac
escaped that way

trunks and bureau drawers stood
open, and there was every evidence
of the room having been gone
