Liberated Game Birds Thriving

l F. 0. Davis of this city and PomfTet, member of the state fish and game commission, states that l20 Hungarian cartridges have been released in various sections of Windham county since the first of the year. A consi- derable number of quail has also been released. The last batch--six quail and 20 partridges-were delivered by the commission Saturday to Frank Fenton of Willimantic.
 Contrary to the opinion held by many hunters, the foreign partridgcs that have been released in Windham county towns are making . fine show ing and are propagating in a normal manner. Reports received by Con- mission Davis show that the birds are thriving and that there is little doubt but the expense attached to getting them into this county has been justi- fled by results.
 Eighty of the Hungarian birds let go in Windkam county this year found liberty in the towns of Putnam, Pom- fret and Thompson; but 1t has been learned that other birds released in other sections have found homes in ad- joining towns. Aside from the towns mentioned, it is known that these birds are now in the woods in the towns of Brooklyn, Hampton and killingly.
 Several hundred quail were to be distributed throughout :Connecticut in addition to the number released this year, but the discovery government officials of quail disease among the birds In one pen shipped from Kansas. where the Connecticut commission has been getting its quail, has resulted in an order forbidding shipments for the year being.
 This is taken to mean that no more quail from the west will be received here this year, as before the embargo Is lifted 1t will probably be too warm to make successful shipments.

Superior Court

A special short calendar session of the Superior Court, Judge Milton A Shumway presiding was held in Wiili- mantle Saturday.
 The case of Chsancey Morse vs- John J. Russell ct al. :and c. M. & k. B. Kent vs. John J. Russell ct al. the defendants were given three weeks in which to plead. The uncontested divorce action of Peter Ely vs. iAibina Fly was stricken of the list on request of counsel for the petitioner.
 Evidently your marriage did not make much of an impression on your mind,p said Judge Shumway to Fred W. Taylor of Putnam, who was en- deavorlng to secure divorcesfrom his wife Mary J Taylor of Worcester. Taylor was unable to tell when he was married in 1887 and could not say whether it was summer or winters spring or fall. He could not tell the month. The allegation in the petition for the petition for the divorce was that ihe was married in Webster Mass, December l4, 1887. Taylor on the witness stand thought 1t was in February. "You see my memory Is rotteno said Taylor. "I should say SOL remarked Attorney Torrey of Put nam who appeared as counsel Tor Taylor.
 Taylor said :that after he was mar ried he was taken sick and iunablo to work flor two years. He had some money saved up and in fourteen months 1t was all used up. Then they broke housekeeping. He went to live with his parents and his wife went to live with her sister in Worcester, Mass. After he regssned his health and was able to support his wife he tried to get her to come back to him but she would not. He went to the home of her sister but the latter would not let him in the house. She told him that his wife did not want to see | him.
 Then his wife sent him letter in which she said that she would have nothing to do with him. He had ruined her life and she would
 never live with him again. If he
 could get divorce on that ground ne
 was welcome to 1t. She was not the
 soft hearted girl he married but hard
 hearted woman. AL times she said
 she hated everybody. This letter was
 read to the court.
 The mother of the petitioner tesfined
 that her son had lived with her for tne past fifteen years. lie was 'a gooa i, husband but his wife did not seemed , 1 to appreciate it. She knew of mo res , son why his wife should not Hive win i, him. He had tried to gst his wile to i've with him but she would knoe 'spn- s cent tO t.

Tragic Death.

Last Tuesday evening while Mrs.
Sam Dowdell and Mrs. Deering
were out riding, their horse became
unmanageable. Both ladies were
thrown from the buggy. Mrs.
Deering fell between the horse and
buggy, and strange to say escaped
practically unhurt. Mrs. Dowdell
was thrown some distance. She
was picked up unconscious, and
died in a few hours. The funeral
was held Wednesday morning.
This is particularly sad case, Mr..
Dowdell has been in poor health
for some time, and it is feared by
his friends that the tragic death of
his wife will have a serious effect
upon his health.

Knights Of Pythias Banquet.

The dining room in the new
Maui Hotel annex was used for the
first time last Saturday evening,
when the Aloha Lodge, X. of P.
held their banquet. This banquet
was the elimination of an attend
ance contest which has been going
on for three months past. The en-
tire membership of the lodge was
divided into two camps, one side
was captained by r. A. Wadsworth,
and the other side by ]. j. Walsh;
and the side having the largest total
attendance at the lodge meetings
were to be treated to a dinner by
the losers. j. j. Walsh and his
tribe of huskies were the victims,
and though they lost, they proved
that they know how to make good.
The dinner was one of Billy Fields
best, and in addition they had the
satisfaction of opening up the new
dinning room.

The
Best Ever
Great Crowds From Out Of Town
Have Fine Time.

Never in the history of the island,
has there been such gathering as
came from far and near to Wailuku
and Kahului to celebrate the Fourth
Of July this year. They came pre-
pared for and went away rejoicing
in the good time they had. The
great Fourth of July celebrations on
Maui are becoming better known
each year, and it is coming more
generally to be looked upon as Maui
day throughout the islands. The
Honolulu people do not forget the
good times they have mere. and
each year we see the same faces with
many more added, which tells the
tale of hospitality appreciated. Add
ed tothe usual enthusiasm and general
feeling of good fellowship, which al
ways prevails, this year we had the
electric lights for the first time, and
Main Street at night with its strings
of streamers arching the street
looked like veritable fairyland.
This year really marks a new exa
in the advancement of Maui, and
will long be remembered by our
own people us well as the stranger
within our gates as another mark
ing stone in our progress.
On Wednesday there vas the ex-
citement of what was going to hap
pen the next day. And then in
the evening there was the big luau
given by the Forresters to their
visiting brothers from Honolulu,
followed by dance, to which every
one was invited. The luau was
huge success, and the long tables
set in the armory fairly groaned
under the weight of the surplus of
good things provided to eat and
drink. The colored lights at the
Town Hall shed their vari-colored
radiance on as fair an assemblage Of
beauty as has ever been seen on
Maui, and the Forresters should
well feel proud of the gigantic sue
cess they have made of this their
first annual celebration here.
The excitement of the day and
the strenuous pleasure of the pre-
vious day and evening, left every
one pretty tired Thursday night.
Many took advantage of the usual
fire works display at Kahului, and
made the trip, but most everyone
was satisfied to seek a good rest,
talk over the pleasant recollections of
of the previous 4S hours, and look
forward to repetition of accepting
Maui's hospitality in the years to
come. Many went out on the
Claudine Thursday evening, others
on the Kilauea and the remaining
few, together with the ball players
went back on the Mauna Kea Fri
day evening.

Electric
Lights
Shine 0ut at Last on the Streets
Of WaiIuku.

AT last the long expt cted has come
to pass. The electric lights for
Wailuku and Kahului are a genuine
reality, and no longer will it be
necessary for the citizens to prowl
about the streets like some second
story man, with the flash of dark
lantern to guide them from street
to street. The old oil street lamps
have long since passed their useful
ness, and even the faint light they
were once supposed to give out, has
long been swallowed up in the
cavernous pit of blackness caused by
the accumulated dirt Of ages within
the confines of the lamps themselves.
The old street lighter went from
post to post each night, but after
his lamps had been lit, the darkness
was just as intense as before, and
this was worthless task. Now
this has all been changed, and the
principal streets are blaze of light.
True there are places both in Wal
luku and Kahului which seem to
have been left with insufficient
light, but it is too much to expect
that all streets should have been
properly taken care Of, and there is
no doubt but that the Board Of
Supervisors will add extra lights
from time to time, where there are
most needed.
Several experts who have viewed
the plant put in here by the Island
Investment Company, pronounce it
to he one of the best in the islands,
in fact everything is the best that
money can buy. Almost everything
in the machinery line is in duplicate,
so that should anything go wrong
with one piece of machinery they
have a duplicate all ready to press
into service.
Although the street lights were
turned on for a short time Saturday
and Sunday evenings, to insure the
proper working of everything, the
formal opening took place Monday
evening. The Inauguration of the
lighting system was fittingly cele-
brated by dance in the Wailuku
gymnasium. This institution is the
pride of the town and everybody
turned out, as the proceeds from
the dance were all to go towards the
gym. The building was blazing
mass of light, and lavish were the
praises at the manner in which
the electric company lad spread
themselves at such short notice.
