Title to Cemetery
Found Much Involved

Title TO the Waikiki graveyard is
in a very much mixed up state and
should be straighmtened out to de-
termine who can be made responsible
for its upkeep and the improvement
of its appearance, is the burden Of a
letter to the board of supervisors
from County Attorney Bevins who was
asked at the December meeting to
investigate conditions. The Woman's
Club has sought to have the appear
ance of the cemetery improved and
something done for its maintenance.
Way back in 1861 an association
was formed and the Waikiki Sugar
Company gave a deed to it of the
property now included in the cemetery
A part was conveyed to individual lot
owners by the directors of the ceme-
terry company. Now every member of
the directors has died and it is un-
certain whether any members of the
corporation are alive.
Mr.. Bevins says it would appear
necessary that the corporation be re
vived and a conveyance made to some
person or persons who will take
charge of the affairs of the cemetery
and Keep it in presentable appearance.

The successful dancer she said in
her English which she has picked up
on board ship and during her three
weeks in America, must dance not
only with the feet as do most of your
American dancers. but she must dance
with the head and with fire and pas
sion. She must dance with intelligence
to be artistic. American audiences are
satisfied with feet dancing and so
thoy must be educated to the other.

HORSE RACE IN

The authorities OF tho Jockey Club
at Havana, Cuba, are somewhat avcrso
to publicity. So when Mr.. j. Ernest
Williamson. who made the remarkable
photoplay, wet Gold'' asked per-
mission to photograph n race at the
track for the picture. he was refused.
But the Cuban authorities did not
reckon with the persistence OF Mr..
Williamson. They simply tried to dis
courage him by telling him he had to
have about forty permits. Undaunted
Mr.. Williamson secured every permit
requested: and then the courteous
cubans had to keep their word.

as to the new bill giving entire salts

The story of the play is entirely diff

well cast and the settings and cos

tho interest from the first line to the

and then an United Opinion of Fri
day, July 81, 1885. They are interest
ing reading but contain more general
news than local. In the 1875 issue
among the Business Cards." we find
the names of only two, who are liv-
ing, DR., o H Stevens, dentist and c
H Curtis, "Oysters and Ice Cream
Saloon" There seems to be more
advertising than local matter and
surrounding towns are entirely neg
lected. Among the Advertising is to
be found the Premium List Of the
Orange County Society to be held
Oct. 5, 6 and Z. In the lists of
goods advertised are names long
forgotten ALPACA" "cashmeres,"
"shawls," etc. And on the front
page is a detective story! In the
1879 edition, the Presidents message
covers most of the front page. The
fashion notes sound a little strange
but no doubt were the last word at
the time and eagerly looked at by
the ladies. The advertising has de-
creased, and local matter and towns
have increased and the execution of
Asa Magoon is the feature of the
issue. The Bradford Brass Band is

FOOD SALE.

The Ladies of the Fortnightly Club
will hold Food Sale at the Library
on October 2lst from to o'clock.
This sale is in charge of the Program
Committee, Miss Alice Bacon, Mrs
Mae Clark and Mrs Luella Bickford.
The proceeds of this sale are to be
used for repairing the Library. 1t
does not seem to be understood that
the income of the Library is not
enough to pay running expenses and
have a sum left for repairing. Scarce
ly any thing has been done since the
building was completed many years
ago. The shades at the windows
must be renewed, the floors and
walls should be dressed over. A
beautiful building like this ought to
be kept up. Surely it should be a
matter of pride to keep the gift so
given by former twons-
men in repair. The bequests have
all been given for the Buying OF
Books" and this leaves only a small
sum to pay necessary running eX-
penses. The past few years, owing
to the high cost of fuel etc, it has
been by close calculation that the
income was supplied to meet these
expenses.
The Club not only asks its men,
bers to give food or money, but any
citizen interested in the Library and
its welfare to respond. Let US make
this Rally afternoon for one beauti-
full Library, everyone feeling respon-
sible for a share in the work.
