A treasure trove story come true,
rare event, but that's what has
lappeued-at least to a degree-at
'uuomalei, Makawao, recently.
In 1865, or thereab0uts, an old
ierman matchmaker named George
Vented owned Puuomalei now the
property of w. o. Aiken.
1t is stated that he being an
eccentric man, distrustful of banks
nd lacking faith in human nature,
buried $1,000 in coin somewhere on
lis Makawao premises. 1t is also
elated that soon after the conceal
nent of his treasure he made a
visit to Germany during which he
led in the year 1866.
AS this story has been well-known
a Makawao, many unsuccessful at
empts by different persons have
zen made to recover the money
uring tie past forty-eight years
But, ON last Friday, December
7th, the unexpected happened"
nd Joe Ferreira, II Portuguese in
the employ of Mr.. Aiken, while
oeing in a recently-plowed pine
pple fie!d-knocked up with his
zoe an ancient coin and then anoth-
and another until he had collect
| i thirteen silver pieces which with
.reat excitement he took to Mr..
Aiken-and then upon further
earch by all hands, six more were
discovered. Since then despite
many efforts and much digging
,nly two additional ones have been
nearthed making the total number
wenty-one.

of tennis, and everybody is interest
Ell in the game, the following story
of how Australasia lost the Davis
Cup, will be read with interest.
The Davis Cup is booked to take
its first sea journey for four years;
and whether it will have to do Il
quick return depends mainly on
hishman Parke being soon lynched,
roasted, hanged or otherwise dis
abled. For Parke is the real cause
of the disaster. The destiny of the
Cup really depended ON whether
Norman Brookes could beat him;
and the Australian Napoleon of the
game cOul dn't manage it. The
doubles were regarded as a certainty
for Australia; Brookes was looked to
to beat Dixon, and it was somewhat
of foregone conclusion that Heath
couldn't stand up against either of
the Engishmen. In the struggle that
mattered, Brookes won the first
three strokes. Then Parke woke
up with n bang, ,and put the acid on
Brookcs, who was regarded Us acid
proof, to the alarming extent of s g.
6-3, 81, 6-2. Brookes didn't seem
to have even a look in; he stood and
wondered at the drives the Irishmen
brought off. Their deadly accuracy
was something new to him, and he
was demoralised. Australia's tail
showed a downward curl. Eft all
was not lost yet. Rod Heatt y faced
the music with Dixon. Heath won
the first set-and lost each of the
other three (4-6.) so the English,
men had one leg in the Cup, so tc
speak. The doubles didn't take
much arguing. Brookes ano
Dunlop romped away from Beamisl
and Parke by Ga, 81, 7-5, and
that kept Engldnd's second les
momentarily out Of the way. On
the final day Brookes met Dixon,
and Parke faced Heath Both were
almost foregone conclusions, anC
only lasted three sets. Brookes took
his match 6-2, GA, Ga; and tha
left Parke and his Heath to worry
out what was the happen to tht
Cup. Parke decided and by win

Company beat Company F last evening in the best game of base ball seen this season. The score was ( to and the closeness of the score is ab.ut a good indication of the re : tive merits of the two teams Owing tp the coldness of the weather the crowd was small and the boys felt the raw air. no doubt. but, this de- tracted not in the least from the play.
 Pritchard of Company F. pitched a splendid game for the last four in nings after relieving Harding, and McMonigle held his end up in great shape for Company F. He was ably assisted by Beck behind the bat.
 The men scoring for Company F were Kelly Meredith. Schierloh. Gaddy and Shook. For their oppon- ents the scorers were McMonigle. Me Carren, Perretti and Klimble.
 Nine were struck out by McMon- igle, eight by Harding and eight by Pritchard. George Lomen and Henry Lehfeldt were the umpires.

FOLKSONGS OF NEGROES
Continued from sixth page.

The songs in question are those which
were consorted with the mysterious VOC
doc rites practised by the backs, who
clung to species Of snake worship
which had been brought over from Africa.
The preservation Of relics Of this super
sttiOus worship until a comparatively late
date was no doubt due TO the negroes
who had been brought into American ter
ritory long after the abolition Of the slave
trade. At the outbreak of the War OF the
Rebellion the number of these people was
by no means inconsiderable Though the
slave trade was abolished by the United
States in 1903 and those who followed II
