| ma Kea Wednesday forenoon, and spent
the rest of that day renewing ae
quaintanees in town. On Thursday
morning he made a flying trip through
Puma. On Friday he gave dance
and on Saturday morning he
departed for the Volcano, il being his
intention to continue on into Kau,
through Kona, and to catch the Mauna
Loa at Kailua.
Castle stated that he will leave
shortly for the East, aud that he viii
not return to the Islands for five years
or so. 1t is his intention to write a
book on the Hawaiian Islands, and in
order to gather material he has been
spending several months travelling
about on the various islands. He first
went over to Kauai; then he made. a
very thorough trip all over Maui, and
he came here to get the facts he need
ed about Hawaii. He intends to make
his book complete guide for tourists,
giving maps Of the islands, and de-
scriptions Of them, stating all that
is to be seen and mentioning all the
points of interest. Castle stated that
he intended to give Hilo an especially
prominent place in this work, which ne
expects viii be published during the
latter part of the present year.
The dance given by Caste took place
at Spreckels hall, and was most en-
ioyable affair. 1t was informal IN
character, excellent refreshments were
served, and those who attended, the
majority of them young people, had a
splendid time. Castle acted as his own
floor manager, and made good. At the
opening of the affair he made the fol
lowing short address to those present:
Ladies and Gentlemen: 1t gives
me great pleasure to welcome you here
this evening at this dance given
me by my cousin, Miss Harriet Hitch
cock, who, l am sorry to- say, is unable
to be present. | regret not knowing
more of you better than ! do; but we
have never had an opportunity of be
coming better acquainted, as all my
visits TO your city have been very
short.
"You people are to be congratulated
as 10 your city of Hilo, not only with
its great tourist and varied industry
possibilities, but with the probability
Of it's becoming great commercial
center; and I can not help but wonder
how many changes will occur by the
time / visit Hilo again, which can not
be in less than five years. Ii you are
surprised now, you will be more sur
prised when | come again. =
Fears Drove Him Insane.
Piliwale. the Hawaiian who was
charged some time ago with arson, was
last week committed to the Insane Asy
lum by Judge Andrews on the recon-
mendation of DR.. Hayes, the case be-
ing particularly sad one. Piliwale
was arrested because he burned hut,
built by a woman, named Pililua. on
land which both Piiiwale and PiIilua
claimed. The case was subsequently,
nol.prossed, but later on suit for a
thousand dollars damages was filed
against him.
Those who are acquainted with the
affair claim that Piliwale was driven
insane by fear, the arrest having great

terest in life and took no interest III
his affairs. When his children did any
work. he would stop them, saying that
it was no use to do anything as the
police would soon come and take ev

so abnormal that it was deemed best
to have him placed in safekeeping, and
