ANOTHER TRIUMPH
The Floral Parade Last Week Pronounced the Greatest Ever Attempted by
Any Community

Distinctive features to be seen
nowhere else in the world among
either parades, fiestas, carnivals or
mardi gras, marked Honolulu's
annual Floral Parade, in honor OF
Washington's birthday.
In the front rank of the unique
spectacle must be placed the Island
princesses, and the other pau riders,
in their picturesque and graceful
costumes of old Hawaii on horse
back. The gorgeous colors contrast
ed harmoniously with the general
setting of the gay pageant, and
these handsome young women and
their escorts, held the centre of the
stage in a most striking manner.

occasion, while man and nature

Hadley LOOses His Home.

Last Friday night when the
thunder storm broke over Honolulu,
many people We're hurrying home
from the theatres, and everyone
agreed it was about the most severe
thunder and lightning that had
been experienced in years. In the
midst of the storm it was seen that
a bungalow up on the Taptalus
Road was on fire, as there was no
water near that neighborhood the
fire department made no attempt to
get to the fire. On investigation it
was found that the house belonged
to Mr.. F. S. Hadley, who is build
ing the new Wailuku electric plant
Mr. Hadley, and Mr.. Troup had
been in the habit of occupying the
house while in Honolulu, but on
this particular evening were detain-
ed down town. In all probability
had they been in the house they
would have been killed when the
lightning struck. Both Mr.. Hadley
and Mr.. Troup lost their clothes
and also some valuable papers

popular chord, and the announce

seemed to work in perfect harmony
to make the occasion a success.
These parades, showing as they do
touches of human life in the islands,
show continual improvement from
year to year, and the one just held
will rank with the best in any
country, and in advance of any
heretofore held in Hawaii.
One of the most popular autos at
the reviewing point, was that of DR..

Aiken had been too much trouble in
procuring the decoration for his
car, and it was pleasing to his Maui
friends present that he should so
fully receive the recognition he de-
served. His car was one immense
silver sword. The suns rays flashed

Hawaii'S
Misfortune
Another Epidemic Of Cholera is Threat
ening Honolulu.

Although Une uredu CnOleTa IL
making a determined effort to gain
foothold in Honolulu, still at the
present time there is really no cause
for alarm. Honolulu, has now a
well organized, well equipped Sani-
tary department, which has already
taken steps to combat the forward
march of the disease with all the
power at the command of science.
The citizens of Maui cap cooperate
with the medical authorities here in
preventing the disease from getting
into this island by faithfully OBJ
serving the following sanitary mea-
sures.
All bathing and washing of clothes
within the harbor, ponds, rivers and
streams should be stopped.
The locality designated is deem
ed capable of possible contain
ination. Whatever hardships the
regulation may create will be well
compensated for in the protection
which it's enforcement will afford to
the public in any possible contin-
gency.
In addition to the above it
is advisable, until further notice,
that the following precautions be
taken by the people:
1t is recommended every house
holder inspect his kitchen, servants s
quarters and latrines, to see that his
house and grounds are kept in a
clean and sanitary condition and, in
particular, that garbage, vegetable
matter and refuse, be collected and
destroyed by fire or SO placed as to
be readily collected by the garbage
department. AS far as possible
flies should be gotten rid Of.
with regard to food and drink,
care should be taken that all cook
ing and serving vessels are thorough
ly cleansed with boiling water; like
wise kitchen towels, etc.
Care should be taken that the
ice chest is thoroughly cleansed. 1t
would be well to cleanse the ice
chest with hot water and soda and
to leave it exposed to the sun for a
few hours.
All water should be boiled and
filtered and kept in covered con-
tainers.
1t would be well also to boil
all milk and especially to keep milk
protected from flies or other insects.
No uncooked vegetables or
salads should be used. Fruits should
be sparingly INDUCED in, and un-
ripe fruit must be avoided.
"All cases of illness, especially
diarrhoea, should be promptly re-
ported to and treated by a physi-
cian."

Canadian
Reciprocity
Secretary Wilson, Defends the Proposed
Treaty With Canada.

The pending reciprocity treaty
with Canada will 90 some. distance
toward meeting the demands of the
people at the last election without
interfering with the policy of protec-
tion as applied to the whole world.n
This is the conclusion of James
Wilson, secretary of agriculture, in
an answer on behalf of the Taft
administration to the National
oranges declared opposition to the
agreement. The answer is in the
form of an open letter made public,
addressed to the legislative commit
tee of the National grange, Concord,
N. HI.
Secretary Wilson argues that the
cost of production in the United
States and Canada is more nearly
identical than it is between the
United States and any other country;
that the same difficulties with regard
to farm labor exist on both sides of
the international line, and that
Canadian and American farming
methods are~virtually the same.
Secretary Wilson says in part:
This treaty is not one sided,
giving our markets for meats and
grains to the Canadian with nothing
in return. We get in the Canadian
woods, timber products, things very
much needed, as our home supplies
are so much reduced that prices
have gone up markedly in the last
few years. The southern states have
new market for their cotton seed
oils, which will be valuable to
them. :.
Canada opens her doors to our
fruits, which will give to our or
chardists growing market for their
products. Fish comes into the
United States free, which will mean
quite as much to our people as the
opening of our markets to Canadian
poultry products. We are to have
free trade in seeds, which is well,
because many seeds are more valu-
able coming from northern attitudes.
I'VE do not grow enough flax to
make our oils and will derive bene-
fit from the free introduction of
faxseed. Free barbed fencing will
be boom to our farmers.
Our relations with the people of
Canada are different from our rela-
tions with any other people. In
the first place they are kindred
people, and their territory runs from
sea to sea along our northern bor-
der. We had reciprocity with Cana
da not many years ago. That was
abrogated more through temporary
sentimental considerations than
from any other cause"
Secretary Wilson concluded that
if the United States handled Cana
da's surplus wheat, American trans
portation facilities will tend to re-
duce the price of bread to the
American consumer. zHe suggests
that the Canadians will also be able
to furnish cattle feeders for the corn
belt Of the United States, and that
meats will be reduced in price.

ment was greeted with handclapping
and cheers. "Kamehameha" stood
before the judges stand almost as
immovable as the statue itself, his
great build and uplifted hand,
which seemed as steady as bronze,
making him a figure to be remem-
bered.
Miss Kaala Kaai, who typifed
Hawaiian melody, in a beautifully
decorated auto car, with harp
conspicuous before the singer, was
another popular selection. She
sang Aloha Oe" as the car came
before the judges, in the refrain Of
which she was joined by Ernest
Kaai's orchestra.

Scenes In
San Francisco
The Following is a Description Of a
Recent Police Court Case.

in Judge Shortall's courtroom. His
head was swathed in bandages, one
eye wore obituary colors, the other
was violating the late closing ordin-
ance. What was to be seen of his
face bore an expression of detection
and woe which stood out conspicu-
ously even in the dark gray gloom
of his surroundings.
''iWhat is your name?" asked the
court.
william Schuster, your honor"
was the reply that filtered through
the bandages.
And what is Mr.. Schuster
charged with, Mr.. Clerk?" queried
the court. did he try to chastise
Detective Tom Murphy, or was he
trying to butt The Lark off the
track out on the bay shore cutoff?
My, but he's pretty mess! He
must have fought a regiment.
Clerk Coyle had foundtthe prison
er's name on the docket.
There are two charges against
him, judge-disturbing the peace
and medical treatment.
Medical treatment2" echoed
, Judge Shortall. when did it be-
come a crime to be taken to the
emergency hospital to have the
doctors work on you? Well, bring
on the complaining witness"
There was futter among the
big crowd of spectators in the lobby.
A little woman in black was making
her way toward the judges desk.
She was short, slender OF build,
decidedly bantam of weight.
Judge Shortall questioned the
defendant.
L went home Saturday night
from work, your honor, and l got a
beating," piped the prisoner.
There wasn't any quarrel or any
thing. I just walked in the door,
and my wife began throwing coal at
me-"
"Your wifel Your wife beat you
like that? Being a married man
myself, l want to see her. Where
is your wife?'
The defendent, with palsied hand,
pointed to the grim visaged little
figure in black that stood on the
opposite side Of the judges bench.
Come around here near your
husband" ordered the court. Il
want to-"
Let her stay where she is, Judge"
pleaded Schuster, in trembling
tones. I'll feel better if she stays
just where she is"
Madam, this man your hus-
band-says that you threw some
coal at him. Is that true?' asked
Shortall.
Take another look at him, your
honor. That's the answer"
Asked to explain the episode, the
wife said that she had found a note
in her husbands pocket that had
been written by another woman,
The note asked Schuster to meet the
affinity at Sixteenth and Mission
streets Saturday night. Hence the
bombardment of anthracite humps
when Schuster came home from his
toll.
How many pieces of coal struck
your" Schuster was asked.
Il stopped three pieces with this
eye, two with this one and | don't
know how many with the top of my
head. None of them got by"
Schuster promised the court that
he would confne his attentions to
the fair sex to the boundaries of his
home hereafter. Mrs. Schustel
agreed to use coal only as fuel, and
the Judge smiled blessing on the
pair as he dismissed the case.
