Mrs. Jarley's wax works were Dresented by the Women's Aid So ciety of tlio Wniluku Union Church last Friday evening at the Wailuku town hall. The affair was most successful 'and greatly enjoyed by the largo audience. The first part of the program was a short musical. Miss Mary Hoffman played a piano solo.

W. H. Field, who sang in public for the first time in anany years, was encored on his "Bells of St. Mary's." Ho has a good voice and it is hoped-Jio will favor the Maui public again. The next number was Miss Carrie Scholtz's solo, "0 Beauteous Night Her voice is well known for its clearness and sweetness.

She was accompanied by Hugh Howell on the violin. "Robinson Crusoe," a funny piece, by Hugh Howell was loudly applauded. D. H. Case was Mrs.

Jarley (for one night only), and of course he was funny. His costume was the real thing, and his voice well it goes with the costume. Charlie Rose and Mr. Wyck, dressed as negroes were the attendants and acted the part well E. J.

Walker of Kahului was Blue Beard. His Moorish costume was perfect. His wives hung up in the, dark chamber were Mesdames Vaner and iTodge, Misses Scholtz and Pratt. The Maid of Honor, Mrs. Judge Kingsbury, took her part exceptionally well.

It was difficult to bo sowing constantly in the most jurkey sort of fashion with her great needle. H. B. Penlmilow was. Captain Kidd, and he made a fine, one, looking quite savage with His long saber.

Mrs. Jarley then showed in rapid succession Dr. Gall (0. C. Clark), who was most doctorfied; Eng, Siamese Twin, who was played ad mirably by J.

J. Walsh; Patriotic Group, in which Mr. Washington's part was taken by Enos Vincent, and George's part by R. A. Wads-worth.

It was an excellent group. Josephus was typical in Mr. Rod- eers. Policeman No. 2049 seemed just off the beat as Wm.

S. Mount-castle was brought on tho stage, while roars of laughter greeted E. 0. Born who took the part of Mermaid. Ho mechanically combed out his long tresses made of yards and yards of rope fallen down over his shoulders.

Signorina Scriecherni (Mrs. H. Case) acted just like a machine, rr for she took no end of winding up in ao at all. In tlio middle oi ner song she broke down and tho sing' lug ended abruptly. Wm.

Penn (E. C. Warner) and Napoleon (C. E. Copeland) seemed to have stepped right out of the history, whilo Samson (W.

H. Englo) was very wild with his big jawbone in his hand, and his tiger skin over his neck. Judge McKay made an excellent King Cophetua, and was rigged out in most striking regalia, while tho beggar maid (Mrs. Frank C. Crawford) wa3 as pretty as a picture.

Alfred Martin sen as Telescope made lots of fun and Charles J. Schoening was perfect politician. He was rigged I up with enormous electric lighted studs and rings that made him the flashy politician ho represented Tho last croun scene was that of Othello and Desdcmoua. Mrs. 0.

Fish Story From Hana The Town Was Literally Buried in Fish This Week. TUESDAY May On Friday tho Kelcnahe and Makaike Hui made a haul of Akule that totaled 62,228 fish. Tho people of Hana never have seen such" a catch.

Okada at the head of a Japanese Hui bought tho fish without count ing at $1 per 1 Kaau (40 fish). After, tho tally reached 20,000 ho threw up his hands and wanted to call the deal off. Chin Kee at tho head of another Hui bought all tho available salt in the District, and had a corner on so salt jumped to $5 per bag. After all the fish were counted the price for the balance over 20,000 dropped as low as 10, cents a bag 3 Kaau to the bag. Finally Sheriff Crowell came along aud instructed tlio combine that up to 6 P.

M. Saturday, all fish remaining unsold and salted had to bo hurried so a number of Cane Planters who knew the value of fish Fertilizer carted tho balance, some into tho cane fields. Today Hana is a queer sight. Every house in the village is shingled with fish drying in the sun. Tho Fruit fly Is now well estab-ished throughout the district of Hana.

It has been found in Kipa- iuIu, Nahiku and Hana proper. Stephen Desha from Hilo was a caller thiB A. M. Leo Austin, representing Davies Co-, also was a caller with his line of samples. Mr.

Machado, representing tho Bulletin is around looking after all the pretty girls of the village working them up to a high degree of excitement to enter the Bulletin contest. Quito a number have fallen into his net and tho contest will be a lively xno from now on. Mr. CaiT of the Postoffico Depart ment was also a Hana visitor. Ho leaves by the Claudine today for Honolulu.

Hie ten mile race lor Maui run ners last fourth of July morning, was such a success, that the pro moters have decided to repeat tho race again this year. There is a lot of work attached to getting up a race of thiB sort, as the money for the prizes must come through popu lar subscription.

Last year tho time made, considering that tho men in the raco had very little experience, was exceptionally good, llns year there will doubtless he many more entries, and the boys will have more time in winch to get into condition In addition to tho foot raco, it is proposed to have a ten mile handi cap bicycle race. This should provo quite an addition and should draw a largo entry list. The prizes last year were good, and an effort will bo made toiavo equally good prizes again this year for both events. Entries will be received for the foot race at the Maui News office up to July 1. For the bicycle raco the entries will closo Juno 27th, in order that the men can be properly handicapped.

An entranco feo of 81.00 will bo charged to cover expenses. Mrs. janey got, ou a long spie about the htBt pieco, which was tho Gladiator, represented by Rev. B. Dodge.

Modern English posseses more characteristics which fit it to become a world tongue than any other language spoken by men. It has. says Professor Chamberlain in tho Popu- ar Scienco Monthly, greater flexi bility and correspondence with thought; is less hampered by grammar, has more power over words, more freedom in accepting them from whatever source and is less restrained by purists and pedants. In fact it is a living language, abso lute master over both its grammar and its dictionary. Its vocabulary always has the open door lor immigrants irom every land and" language Greek, Asiatic or Polynesian; and all are admitted on tho same conditions and with equal rights of citizenship If tho useful word turns up at tho right time, our inclusive and domo- cratic language takes it in.

Wo cut it down, shape it, change it, com bine it with 6ome word from an other tongue and use with any par ticle wo see fit either as a prefix or suffix. Hybrid or pure, makes no differenco; the genius of the lan guage is defiant of all linguistic ty rants, with result that hosts of words represent several tongues. In remacadamizfng, for example, Latin, Gallic, Hebrew, Greek and English five different languages are drawn upon to produce a single word. Like many another advantage we enjoy wo do not half appreciate our emancipated and marvelous mother tongue which appropriates everything of value, incorporates every word from every other source which expresses a now idea of an old idea bettor than the word wo have.

Rochester Post-Ex press. Maui Racing Association.

ine iMaui itacing season is on again, and life at Sprcckels park, Kahului, will bo a strenuous ono from now until the Fourth of July. Hilo has always threatened a counter attraction each year, and this year they aro making moro noise than ever, but thereal sport will bo here on Maui. Every year Hilo draws a few with tho big noise, but ovoryone knows they get a good days racing on Maui, and the great majority come here each year re gardless of tho counter attractions. This year the track will bo in better condition than over before, andv tho seating capacity will bo greatly enlarged. A number of horses aro already at the track, four of them being from Honolulu.

The stalls have all been engaged, and O'Rourke of Hilo will bo on hand with his horses as usual, in an effort to lift tho big purses. It looks as though Maui horses will be a much bigger factor in tho racing than last year, and Mr O'Rourke will have tho time of his life getting away with everything as ho did last Fourth. Systematic Farming W. R. Patterson is Producing Some Fine Crops at Pauwela.

Diversified farming, on a moro systematic basis than has heretofore boon attempted in Hawaii, is likely to bo given a thorough try-out by tho settlers who recently took up homestead lots in tho government's Kuiaha-Pauwcla tract, near Haiku. The land was selected becauso it was known as first class pineapple land, and most of the, homesteaders will probably make this crop their main one at least at- first. But the excellence of numerous miscel laneous crops which have been pro duced in the neighborhood makes it quite certain that an attempt will be seriously made to grow, in a systematic way. a part of tho large amount of truck farm products re quired to supply the Honolulu mar ket, and the army and navy in Hawaii, and which are for tho most part brought from California at tho present time. The land was only taken up last February, consequently few of the settlers have yet had opportunity to get established, and to get ground broken.

A number, however, aro already on their lands, and more will take possession personally within the next few months. They are fortunate, though, in having a sort of demonstration farm already well under way, the results from which are considered exceedingly encouraging by those who have studied it. This farm is tho homestead of W. R. Patterson, who has been on his land for nearly a year.

Besides having about fifteen acres already planted in pineapples, Mr. Patterson has devoted several acres to general experimental farming, and from this small area is not only supplying his own tablo most boun tifully with a generous variety of vegetables, but is marketing a considerable quantity in Wailuku. Most of the crop3 thus far tried have given very promising results. Possibly tho most significant is the success which ho has had with his corn, both field and sweet. Of the latter, Mr.

Patterson has but a few rows growing, now about three months old, but it is bearing heavily and tho product is excellent in every way. Tho field corn, planted about tho same time, is standing somo eight to ten feet high, and is tho black-green in color of tjie product of the corn belt of tho middle western states, whilo from the ears it is bearing it would seem that twenty-five bushels to tho acre would bo a safe estimate of what it will yield. While Mr. Patterson has less than an aero planted, there is growing a short distance away, on land of the Haiku Ranch Company, a field of possibly between twenty and thirty acres, or equally pleasing appearance. Mr.

Patterson has somo potatoes growing, and from some specimens shown, it would bo hard to find better potatoes anywhere. There seemed to bo different varieties, and when Mr. Patterson was asked what potato thrived best, ho remarked that they were all alike. He got his seed from a bag of potatoes which ho bought from a Chinaman in tho vicinity. Splendid carrots, radishes and other root crops were growing in small quantity, and in spito of tho melon fly, which is prevalent, somo very good cucumbers were seen.

A fow onions were planted, but these did not look well, and Mr. Patterson was not at all sanguino over tho Shooting at Kailua Exciting Time In Which a Chinaman Gets Beaned. Last Saturday night a crowd was gathered at a Chinaman's store, at Kailua. Many different nationalities wero represented. In tho crowd was a Korean who loved tho booze.

He had bought and drank a couple of bottles of wine durir. tho evening, and as he was leaving tho store, he demanded that the Chinaman give him another bottle to take along. As ho had not paid for tho two previous bottles, tho Chinaman refused to unload, w'hereupon a row started. Several of the bystanders tried' to make peace, and finally a young Hawaiian by the name of John Kahcana grabbed tho Korean and pulled him awav. at the same time giving the Chinaman a clip on the head.

Tho Chinaman started towards him, and Kaheana pulled a gun and threatened to shoot. It was no mere threat, and ho fired point blank in the Chinaman's face. The weapon was a small 32 caliber Ivor Johnson, and tho bullet en tered the Chinaman's forehead just above the left eye. The police wero called to the scene, and they removed the Chinaman to the Paia hospital. Tho shot had crushed through his skull, and is still lodged in the head.

Dr. McConkey probed for the bullet, but so far has not located it. Several fragments of the shattered skull wero removed from the brain, and though the victim still lives he is unconscious. The doctor marvels at ins vitality, but thinks it is an- possible for him to recover. New Books at the Library.
