be taken that there are no objection
able features, and that the strictest
propriety will govern the entertain
ment.
The management requests that the
public be notified that Duchess Kama
maku has postponed her Hawaiian
dance until $50, as she found it i'm
possible to appear before that time.
Not that the duchess is indisposed to
aid the ball attain its promised sue
cess, but that she found that other
engagements and arrangements made
her earlier appearance impossible.

MOBILE SHERIFF
LOSES PRISONER

Such good work was ACCOMPLISHED
by local officers in the arrest of one
Mobile prisoner last week that when
Lon Wilson, convict, made a sue
cesstul getaway from the Mobile
county jail, January Is, which was
last Monday. the local authorities
were notified without hesitation. and
Sheriff Holcombe, of Mobile county,
wired lengthy description of Will
son to the city police and the sher-
ifs office, asking both departments
to look out for and arrest any party
fitting such description, and for the
arrest of the man wanted, it was tel
egraphed. afreward of 500 will be
paid.
The local officers were responsible
for the arrest and later return to
Mobile of H. C. Clark, stranger who
had large quantity of stolen goods
in suit case, which he was selling
to local purchasers. He was sent in
for doing business without license,
and when the contents of the suit
case was examined, the Mobile auth
critics were at once notified.
Sheriff Holcombe is evidently
hopeful for such quick results in the
location and arrest of his prisoner,
for whom he has been searching in
all directions.

BATH TUB REMOVED
FROM RUINS HOUSE

Philip Bailey, colored drayman,
was discovered yesterday with a bat
tered bath tub on his dray. 1t was
claimed that he was trying to sell
it, and that he was offering it at a
very low figure. Bailey was arrest
ed as a dangerous and suspicious
character by Special officer Shackel-
ford Yesterday, when the negro re-
lated story to the recorder, he was
bound over to the county authorities,
where serious charges may be placed
against him. At present he is charged
with larceny, but this may later be
changed to a more serious offense of
breaking and entering.
Bailey, when asked for an explain
alton, stated that he was passing the
old Witch house, at the corner of
Cevallos and Gregory streets, when
an unknown negro man, whom, he
said, was at work there, offered him
the bath tub to "sell on the halves. /"
He could not give name of the other
negro, and made such a mixed-up
statement that it was decided to send
him to the higher courts.
The old Witch home was partially
destroyed by fire during the summer.
1t is the property of ]. Simpson
Reese, and the latter has been sum-
moned to appear against Bailey at a
preliminary to be held this week.
