It was on the advice of Superintend

that the Oahu Loan Fund Commission

was the reason that the commission

pears as near completion as II was
six months ago when the work was
started.
The delay has worried Manuel, for
the beard grew troublesome. It's nut
tering disturbed the calm repose Of
mind he finds necessary to the proper
contemplation of the statue Of the
great king.
Last night friends Of Manuel says
King Kamehameha appeared to him
in dream and told him that the
Judiciary building would not be com.
pleted until his statue stepped on its
pedestal and entered the race for
Delegate to Congress. Manuel awoke
much comforted and after taking q
look at the Judiciary building and not.
ing that the statue still occupied It's
pedestal, he secured the price Of q
shave from a passerby and had his
beard removed, having been advised.
he said, that under the law no vow
made for eternity is binding.

standing with eyes fixed in alteration
on the royal figure for hours at a
time. appeared in his accustomed
place this morning minus the tattered
beard which has long decorated his
features. There would be nothing re-
markable in this was it not for the
fact that in order to appear clean
shaven Manuel broke vow.
1t appears that when the work Of
repairing and remodeling the Judici-
sry building commenced, Manuel
made vow that he would not shave
until it was completed. Months have
passed since then. The gentle breezes
of many mornings have toyed with
Manuers hissute embroidery as ne
