Rooms to Let at Jail.


Wilmington Dispatch.
The high sheriff Of New Han
over county offers rooms to let
at the Jail. So dull is business
Of late in his department that
there is plenty of jail room. In
fact, at present there are only
five boarders and these are old
ones, having remained over from
last term Of court. So the sheriff
offers rooms to let, with heat
and water free. All rooms are
we'll ventilated; in fact, guaran-
teed to be "grate."

ADJUSTMENTS
Local Verses Make Hit.

There was another good house for
the second performance of Fun on
the Bristol at the Opera House last
night. This was a sure proof that the
musical farce has pleased Honolulu
theater-goers, as the night was warm
enough to keep any but enthusiasts
away from a playhouse.
The songs and dances all went with
the same swing and go and the num-
Der of encores was so great in many
cases that the performers had to have
recourse to repeating verses. AS AL
fred Goulding said, 1--WE had four
encore verses for every song, but If
we were going to stay in Honolulu
much longer we should have to hire a
poet to do nothing but make extra
verses for u.s.
The local verses to the tune of
Fairy Tales made an extra big hit
last night. The one about Sonny
Cunha was received with roars of ap-
plause, and the audience was not sat
isfied until 1t had been repeated twice.
The "Hoodoo Man song also took
another big hand. Where all the mem
bers Of the company steal onto the
stage in turn and sing the chorus,
which is nothing but the good old
DOGGY Man. set to new words, there
was a laugh for every one of them,
and the Widow O'Brien took the loud
est one Of all.
There will be no more performances
at the Opera House until Saturday,
when there will be matinee of Fun
on the Bristol" On Saturday evening
there will be farewell performance.
Alfred Goulding is figuring on putting
on the best show that he can crowd
into the time at his disposal He ex-

New Musical Numbers.
The Honolulu Concert orchestra, un-

the latest musical compositions, which
will be rendered at the Orpheum during
the week. In the assortment are Dock
stader's minstrel songs, selections from
the Broken Idol' and the famous Sa-
lone Dance. These have never been
heard here before and should create a
sensation.

employees of the q. S. Engineers store

the storehouse in the act of taking some

at once thought of Asa, who was SEN
fenced last week to prison for being
drunk. He remembered that Asa then
wore a new pair of shoes, and thought
that the mysterious Jap in the ware
house might be the same one. He fig
ured that Asa had stolen the box, which
rs marked N'Paia Store and had car
ried it to the warehouse and had sold
some of the shoes, getting drunk on
the proceeds. The man was released
from Jail couple of days ago, and
probably intended making another cash
raise by selling more shoes. Asa is
one of the cleverest of the light finger

Row Over Cane Planting.

Sheriff Jarrett and Japanese Inter
prter Townsend returned from Pearl
City and Aiea last evening, where
they investigated the shooting affair
Japanese were wounded by another
Japanese who surrendered himself to
Deputy Sheriff Fernandez and is now
held in the Pearl City jail.
Sheriff Jarrett states that the as-
sailant was not Harade, the we'll
known bully, but a man named Ha-
koda Kazaburo, who recently worked
in a meat market at Aiea On Fri
day he went to Japanese cane cut
ting contractor and was given work
in a field. On Saturday he went to
the boss and told him that whereas
he was working thirteen men in that
field, he, Hakoda, could do the same
amount of work with six. This, says
Hakoda, was the cause of trouble. He
claims that on Sunday evening he was
surrounded by Japanese, who were
angry at his statements and started
to beat him, when, in self defense, he
pulled revolver and opened fire.
The other japanese who were shot
and witnesses claim that there was a
heated discussion about the cane-cut-
ting and finally Hakoda got mad and
punched japanese in the face with
his fist. A row started and Hakoda
pulled his revolver as he went out of
a door and began firing indiscrim-
nately and then fed. They telephoned
to Deputy Sheriff Fernandez and he
came across Hakoda as the latter was
going toward the courthouse at Pearl
City.
The man most seriously wounded is
Tome Kusukubo. A bullet struck him
in the breast just above the heart. The
bullet was extracted yesterday morn
ing. Takeshitaro Shimataro was shot
in the thigh of the left Les. The bull
let is imbedded SO deep in the flesh
that it could not be probad. He is
painfully wounded. The third man,
Kaitsu, was struck by a bullet on the
upper part of one of his legs, making
flesh wound.

that only one of these extinct kingdoms has
