Some Jolts From Maui.
Maui News Now they say that the
first case of cholera in Honolulu was
never reported. The more they talk
about that matter the more ridiculous
they appear. We would not be sur
prised to hear that there never was
any cholera in Honolulu at all.
What a fine thing it would be to
have someone on the Board of Educa-
ton with little of Teddy Roosevelt's
ability to call a spade a spade.
Admirers of Kipling will be wary
reading his poems to others in the
future. They certainly have power.
Work on KahuIui Breakwater.
WAILUKU, May 6.-Manager Will
liams of the Kahului Railroad took
a party up to the new quarry this
week to get a close view of the way,
they turn out the stone for the new
breakwater. After a short trip over
the road the quarry was reached, and
it is doubtful if one person in a
hundred who passes and repasses this
spot has any idea of the quantity of
stone that is being taken out of there
daily the thing is being done in such
a quiet and transformations manner.
The party arrived at the quarry
just as the men were getting ready
to set off a blast. All walked boldly
along inspecting the great boulders
and the modern machinery in oper-
alton, until some one dropped the re-

up the wire to set off charge of
900 pounds of powder. Everyone had
seen enough at close range, and felt
safer a little farther away, and the
writer saw one hardy mariner perch
Ell up behind water tank.
