Thirtythree of the order responded,
and were marshalled into the church

The music by the choir was Christ
mas music. The collection was to
endow a bed for INDECENT Masons or

should appear, at the Mahulani Hos

one.
Noisy Evening.
Last night was the noisiest New
Years Eve in Wailuku that is re-
nembered for many years Fire
crackers and other explosives we're
set off in the early part of the even
ing. The noise grew louder toward !
midnight. and was increased by the
ringing of bells. Red fire was used
considerably, and the streets were
bright as day. The added celebration
of the Chinese this year helps to make
the occasion more jubilant than ever
before.
Road Improvements.
The improvements on the road he |
tween Lahaina and OloWalu are
great. For nearly the whole of the
distance the road has been covered !
with maCadam and then oiled, so that
1t is now delight to ride in either !
carriage or automobile between |
these two points, whereas formerly it !
was one of the toughest short stretch !
es of road on Maui: A gang of men
has been at work on the Kaanapali !
side of the Lahaina. and a long !
stretch of road there is being rapidly !
improved
The. lumber and other materials are |
now being hauled up to Lahainaluna
for the new dining hall, the erection
of which is to- be undertaken in a
short time. The new building will be
a little mauka of the old dining hall !
end a little nearer the dormitories. !
The old hall, one of the original buildL |
ings of the Lahainaluna group in the !
days of the missionaries, is not to be !
torn down, but will be left both be-
cause of the old character of the !
building, and also because Principal !
Macdonald intends to put it to excel !
lent use among the other buildings on
the campus.
