The little brown ant, notorious for
its injuries to corn and called, conse-
quently, the corn-feld ant, is not by
any means limited to corn fields, but
Is abundant In all cultivated lands. in
pastures and meadows, In dense for.
ests, along hard pathways, and in the
sandy soil of dry, sunny roads. One
sometimes finds it nesting in rotten
wood or under bark, logs or stones,
ana even opening up its underground
burrows to the surface between the
bricks and sidewalks and pavements.

North America, except the extreme
southern and southwestern portions,

Awnings for Hen Housea

1t is a good plan to have awnings

to go over the windows Of the hen
house In summer to keep out the
sun; and thus keep the house much
cooler. But 1t is not advisable to
have those awnings up during the

Miss CriCkard
Remains Here

Miss Ida Orchard will, after all E,
remain on Maui and in her old
position as principal of the Wailuku
School. This is gratifying to her
many friends.
1t was at first reported that Miss
Orchard was transferred to the Ka-
lihiwaena School, Oahu, and it was
thought she would report there for
duty. However, the board of COM
missioners decided, after looking in
to the matter and hearing all that
was to be said regarding the
charges" made by late supervising
principal Copeland, that Miss Crick-
ard should continue to hold her
Wailuku position.
There have been many changes
among the Maui teachers and. while
some of them have been merely
shifted from one school to another,
others have been sent to other isl
ands Of the group.

Rev. Wallace
Is Coming

1t has been recommended by the
committee of advice in Honolulu
that the Vestry of the Church of
the Good Shepherd, Wailuku, re-
quest the Rev. David Wallace of
Kealakekua, Kona, to take charge
of the Wailuku church, tempo
rarily, till such time as a pastor
can be secured from the mainland.
The minister will also have charge
of the Puunene services.
1t has been found very incon-
venient for the Rev. Mr.. Bodell, of
Lahaina to attend to both parishes,
and the Bishop advises the move
mentioned,
Mr.. Wallace is no stranger to
Wailuku as he had charge of the
parish last year when the Rev. Mr.,
Short paid a visit to the mainland
to see his aged father. He will
come to Maui next week.

Left Home
Divorce Case Causes Amusement
Husband Gets His Freedom
From Wife.

1t took Judge Kingsbury just
about an hour to free George Luff,
of Wailuku, from the bonds of
matrimony yesterday morning at
the Circuit Court, Luff told his
story and then it was quite evident
why Luff lift Lizzie. Luff's tale of
woe was astonishing, and the way
in which his wife is alleged to have
kicked him out of the house," and
to have made him skin out" by
threatening him with a butchers 5
knife, convulsed everybody in court.
When asked if he meant that the
woman was strong enough to throw
him out of the house, Luff replied,
She is strong enough to handle
three men,"
The little episode with the but
cher knife was startling. 1t appears
that the husband arrived home and
found his wife beating up an aged
gentleman visitor. This was OBJ
iected to by Luff, and then he got
his. y The wife batted him over the
head with a chair and then proceeded
to sharpen up butchers knife on
a stone. When the weapon was
thought to be satisfactory, Mrs. Luff
started after her swain, with the

Syndicate Is
After Hotels

That chain of hotels, all owned
by q syndicate, will be established
in these islands, is the latest devel-
opment in the tourist handling line. Z.
The syndicate is after hotels in
Hilo, Wailuku, Lihue and Homo
Hlu and, it is said, the promoters
ilave been successful in obtaining an
interest in some of the hotels
On Oahu, it is said that the syn
dicate will build up an up-to-date
hotel at Waikiki beach and put j..
IA Hertsche, late manager of the
tlhee large Oahu hotels, in charge.
1t has been rumored that the new
hotel was to be built on the Punch
bowl but the latest tip is that the
huge concern will be established at
the beach.
The object of the syndicate, which
is composed of some of the keenest
business men in the territory, is to
get hold of the tourists before they
land and to handle them during
their whole stay in the group. To
do this the syndicate must have its
own hotels, and the members of the
concern know that well enough,
1t is said that if some of the hotels
cannot be secured, then new places
will be built by the syndicate.

Good Output

If everything runs along o. X,
the Kaupakalua winery will finish
up the season on or about Septem-
Der 10. The total yield of wine is
expected to amount to about 65, 900
gallons. The grapes pressed dur
ing this season have been extra
large and of a fine flavor.
The winery has been run at its
full capacity and there have been
but few delays. The grapes came
along steadily and everything ran
smoothly.
The expert wine maker, who was
brought from Portugal, has every
thing running in fine shape, and
the wine that has been made this
season is said to be far ahead of
that af any other year.

Bad weather might hinder the
rapid completion of the work but

are all hoping for the best.
The new road is an absolute
necessity and the pineapple growers
feel that without the thoroughfare
they would be so seriously handi-
capped as to possibly cause them
to go out of business.
There are twenty men working
on the job and +. c. Mellor is
looking after them. The contract
is being rushed to a conclusion and
there is every probability of the
work being finished we'll on time.

Special Correspondence. ]

HONOLULU, Aug. 29.-The
Pinkham situation remains unchang-
ed; one day we hear the nomina-
ton is to be withdrawn and the
next thai the president stands by
Pinkham. At times there is not
even twenty-four hours between the
first and the last, so every man feels
that he is on weaihercock. Strange,
newspaper correspondents differ in
the tenor of the news they send out.
You will remember reading that
sometime ago Galbraith, he who
was once on the supreme bench
here was mentioned as a possibility
and whose only renown came from
from the number and quality of
his dissents. Some of them were
handed me to read the other day
and, while | am the veriest sort of
a layman in law, it was evident
that his opinion was guided, often,
by the parties at issue or because he
did not like Frear and Perry Venom
was APPARENT in many instances; in
some cases he would lead you over
path of words until you lost your
self, meanwhile wondering where
you were at. Should the business
of Galbraith be in the nature Of
having the organic act changed and
he slip in, | am afraid it would be
a worse slam than if Pinkham were
appointed for it would seem as
though he came down more II get
even with his enemies, or those

rather than to serve his country at
$4,000 per annum.
Judge Galbraith would excel in
one particular; | mean he would be
more acceptable than Pinkham, and
that is in having wife who is real
Southern Quality folks" and who
knows how to entertain. But the
organic act is not yet changed and
Honolulu can afford to lay Judge
Galbraith aside until it is. Those
who have studied President Wilson
at long range, are of the opinion
that once he he's sent name to the
senate it will stay there until he is
shown a very good reason for taking
his pen in hand and writing down
the mistake. He is, in a way,
paakiki. He has mind of his own,
not two of them and he exercises it
until 1t is now tully developed.
With one or two exceptions Homo
lulu is agin' Pinkham. Even per-
sons who do not know of his deter
mination to enforce his own opini-
ons, but who have heard of some
of the things he did while here, are
against him. Robert Cation is
quoted as saying, five years ago,
that Pinkham should be kept in the
Board of Health just because The
Advertiser did not like him. Cat.
ton was against Walter G.. Smith,
that's all.

RESULTS.
Stars beat Puunene, score, 8 to 6.
STANDING OF THE TEAMS.

On Sunday last the special series
of the Maui Baseball League started
up, and the first game played was
that between the Stars and the Puu-
meme outfit. The result was win
for the Wailuku boys by score of
9 to 6.
There was large crowd present
when the umpire called PLAY
ball, and all the fans settled down
to see what they expected would be
a really fast and clever game. The
game was fast enough, and there
were many exciting moments, but
it could not be termed frst-class
exhibition of baseball.
The Stars were first to bat and
they did nothing in the initial
spasm. 1t was one, two, three, for
them. The Puunenes, however,
started things going first rattle out
of the box, and they piled up two
runs in their first inning. The
Stars evened up things in their
second and the crowd began to
howl its delight. There was moth
ing doing in the third and the game
looked as if it were going to be a
beauty. Then, after the Stars had
failed to score in the first half of
the fourth, the Puunenes came
along with three runs and things
looked good to their rooters.
The fifth innings was productive
of no runs for either team but, in
the sixth, both mines scored-the
Stars two, and the Puunenes one.
That left the score standing at 6 TO
4, in favor of the Puunenes.
In the lucky" seventh there
was nothing doing but, in the
eighth inning the Stars made one
run and were then within one notch
of tying the score. They did more
than was needed in the ninth, for
they made no less than four runs
and cinched the game. The Puu-
nenes had shot their bolt and they
could not add to their score in the
last half Of the ninth.
Tomorrow the Puunenes play the
Kahuluis and should the plantation

Sheriff Off
To MoIokaii

Sheriff Crowell left for Molokai
on Wednesday last. He went over
to look into some police cases that
have cropped up. One of the affairs
is that in which q couple of boys
are said to have broken open the
gates of the pound and liberated a
number of horses and other strays
that had been gathered in by the
poundmaster.
The boys, it appears, visited the
pound and, finding a number of
animals in the paddock, thought it
would be good fun to let the lot out .
Whether they did this in q fit of
kindness or simply for the sake of
causing trouble, will be settled later
on in the court.
The sheriff also looked into an
alleged threatening case in which a
Hawaiian is said to have paid a
neighbor a visit one evening and to
have carried an axe along with him
The story goes that the visitor
swung the axe around a few times,
and then made a bluff at cutting of
the head of his lady friend. The
man changed the direction of the
blow, however, and cut up the floor
of the verandah instead. A charge
of malicious injury may be laid
against the man and then Deputy
County Attorney Vincent will have
to proceed to Molokai in order tc
prosecute in the case.
