Serious Business.
HilO Tribune: Joe Cohen, at one
time conspicuous figure in places of
public amusement, such as the Homo
lulu Orpheum and the House of Rep
resentatives, visited Hilo last week.
He is now engaged in serious business.
A Long Fall.
kohala Midget: An unknown per-
son was noticed by many taking a
"heels-over-head" somersault on the
Hilo slope OF Laupahoehoe Gulch He
performed the stunt over 100 feet of
space in the marveiously short time OF
twenty seconds. Although he reached
the bottom in good spirits, he vowed
never to take any more such short

Case of booze. Nuff said.

Still criticising Schools.
Hawaii Herald: Acting Superintend-
ent of Public instruction Gibson has
made the statement that the Hilo ru-
NOR in regard to the resignation OF
Pope is to be taken with grain of
salt More's the pity. Should Pope
resign, it is to be hoped and expected
that strong man would be appointed
in his place, which would probably be
/ quickly followed by a removal in which
Gibson would be greatly interested
The Territory of Hawaii has seldom
! seen in any of its departments a
I greater lack of ability or a greater
showing of incompetent weakness than
has recently been exhibited by Messrs.
Pope and Gibson. Unfortunately, the
disclosures of recent date came after
POpe's confirmation by the Territorial
Senate. If they had come up a month
before, he would have retired TO his
Oregon fruit ranch, on which he might
have found a more fitting position for
his assistant, Mr.. Gibson.
HiIo's Biggest Celebration.
HlLO, June 27.-Everything has
been prepared for a Fourth of July
celebration such as has never before
been seen in Hilo, and if work on the
part of the committee in charge will
have any effect, the results shown will
be surprising. From early in the
morning till late at night there will
be something doing, and those who
take in the entire program will be
tired enough to enjoy a good nights
rest when everything is over.
The parade will start things in the
morning, and Chairman Pomeroy is
enthusiastic over the way in which
things are turning out, his utmost
hopes being more than realized. The
showing made here should result in a
parade which will be but little behina
the Honolulu floral parades, and should
be equal to any ever seen in that city,
save for the last two or three years
The evening torchlight parade of Jap
anese will be something surprising
from the reports which are coming
from Machido, the president of the
japanese Merchants Association, who
has this in charge. He states that
when the parade starts at 1880 there
should be at least three thousand Jap
anese in line. He says that all the
japanese in Olaa and Punahou coming
in, while the North and South Hilo
