Honolulu Newsletter.
Continued from Page I,
seems not to have been any thought
of protest after the members left
the sacred precincts of the house of
torture; the luau, perhaps, caused a
lapse of memory and a deadening
of the senses. The only kick I have
heard came from the superintendent
of the Home (?) who justified his
action in thq statement that the
boys insisted on getting into more
congenial quarters.
Maui was spared the presence of
the mlmist and it was n. pond t.liinrr
" for tho towns and the people. In
-o far as I have been able to learn
ho did well here. This'is natural
where, oil stocks are sold in thousand
share" lots every day in tho month.
There is "One born every minuto"
and few of them dio. I heard of
one Hawaiian woman of means who
V paid the man five hundred dollars
for his influence in keeping her
young husband away from tho al-
4 lureinents of other women. Ho
, ' worked tho kahuna racket to a farc-you-well
and tho people, including
the officials of the glorious city and
county of Honolulu, stood for it.
At tho end ho did tho Arabian stunt
i'vand quietly stolo away leaving a
woman 'whom he introduced, oc
casionally as his sister, and oftener
as his dnughter.
I was given a reason the other
day for the antagonism of the Hilo
Tribune to tho railway enterprise
now being promoted by County At
torney Beers of Hilo on behalf of
the Lymans. The fact that a rapid
transit lino is asked doesnot con
cern the Tribune but that if the
franchise should be for a man who
once swatted the editor of tho Tri
bune is the straw that put tho hump
on tho camel. Norman layman has
had differences with the editor and
this is iho first time tho Tribune has
had' a chance to get back. But,
you will observe, it is on tho shoul
ders of Beers. As to tho mcrits'of
the case no ono but thoso asking for
the franchiso knows. At least no
one has aa yet located them. Hilo
is a city of distances which a bus
line owned by Japanese has brought
together. No ono can givo'the con
eyances a boost and not feel that
tho timo will come when ho must
do penanco for tho statement. If
tho promoters of rapid transit are
sincbre, if'thcy havo money behind
the scheme, tho franchiso should be
granted. The volcano stables is
said to head the opposition to both,
or any, franchise but I do not un
derstand why- ' It is said the com
pany has no hacks on hire and but
few automobiles so it would not bo
interfered with to any serious ex
tent. In my opinion any objection
should be based on tho narrowness
of the thoroughfares in that city.
In tho discussion of tho Sunday
opening law introduced by Plumber
Quinn, Mr. Scully, who is manager
general of the Honolulu Amuse
ment Co., is quoted in tho morning
paper as saying "If tho bill is not
passed people will have to remain
at home on Sunday." Perhaps it
is a punishment for Mr. Scully to
stay with his family one day in tho
week but the majority of people
here do not find Sunday a day for
theater going so long as tho bright
skies and balmy air tempts them to
Waikiki or to tramps fostered by
tho various trail organizations.
Representative Towso presented to
tho Houso this morning a warm
protest from tho members of tho
Central Union Church, a protest
thaj, would bo agreed in by all of
the conservative people of tho city.
Even the actorettcs who stay hero
so long they would seem to havo
taken root on the soil, aro opposed
to Sunday theater, not because of
religious principles but because they
want one day of rest. To mo it is
a matter in which tho entire terri
tory is interested and protests should
come frqm all sources. If tho evil
of Sunday non-observanco festers
hero, tho germs will find a lodging
placo in Hilo and tho other towns
which support motion picture es
tablishments. The longer the Hono
lulu Amusement Company lives tho
more its existence is deplored by
tho conservative people. Once there
was a place hero where ladies and
children could go and feel that
nothing out of tho way, in word or
action would bo seen, but now there
is always a doubt. Always a fear
of what may happen next. Tho
amusements of Honolulu havo gono
into tho hands of people who should
bo out of it. The best editorial
comment J. Have read on tho pro
posed bill is that by Walter G
Smith in tho Star.
Another Japanese has fixed him
self for tho halter -by murdering a
woman with whom ho had lived
Tho .Edmunds act seemed to havo
no terrors for him though hotl
parties had been arrested for its
violation and tho man had been
committed to tho ' insano asylum
from which ho was released as cured
a few days ago. Ho 'then hunted
tho woman and killed her. His
sojourn after tho net was a short
ono for McDufiio nabbed him and
secured n confession.
Robinson of Maui has tho distinc
tion of introducing a scare-bill in an
effort to assist the passage of the
Sunday theater bill. His effusion
relates to work on tho plantations
on Sunday. For tho violation of
the act, should it become a law, the
culprit, who is essentially a manager
of a plantation, is to dig up fines in
one, two thrcd order until it becomes
a nuisance to tho magistrate when
lie will be called upon to do a stretch
as well as pay a fine. No ono be
lieves it is intended this bill shall
pass. It is expected tho members
will got a scare thrown ink) them
and will ask the views of the mana
gers what is to be done. To the
onlooker it appears as though thero
may still bo an opportunity' for a
government by commission.
There was a cloudburst in the
neighborhood of Manoa yesterday
and it followed a lino down the
valley until the water stretched over
tho sea. For a time transportatinn
was interfered with and at one place,
near runanou, where there is a
switch, the car men could not find
the frog from which, they might
reach the rails. Water covered) the
street completely. There was no
damage but tho churches were not
filled to capacity, the regular atten
dants, or many of them, being
housed up in consequence.
Tom McTighe, the only consular
representative Ireland cvi?r had in
tho islands, died yesterday of he
moirhago of the bowels. Deceased
was in the liquor business and had
earned tho good will of most of 'tho
people hero. He had been a resi
dent of Honolulu for nearly thirty
years, having como out in an emi
grant ship. Ho first had employ
ment with tho Macfarlanes in the
Hawaiian. Hotel and afterward he
becomo a chief clerk or acting man-
agor. ut late years he has conduct
ed a saloon on King street near the
fishmarket and has done well. His
cordial relations with tho Macfar
lanes continued up to tho day of his
death. Last year Tom paid a visit
to his old home in the South of Ire
land, tho first since ho left it years
ago. Thero were few of his old pals
left and his enjoyment was largely
among strangers. His son will con
tinue the business for the estate.
To a very limited extent the quar
antine is off but not sufficient to
allow the hundred or more colonials
on the Canadian lxat passing
through here yesterday to come
ashore. One may go to the beach
and have a swim but that is the ex
tent of the freedom of the city pos
sible until cholera is officially do
clared. non-existent on Friday. It
has been a great loss to business and
every dealer in beads, such as Ha
waiians never wore, and postals
colored the most wonderful greens
will tell you so.1
In tho legislature Alfonso yestcr
day introduced a mil which may
merely tend to lessen tho evil of
plantation stores though it is word
ed so that no corporation will bo
allowed to transact other than their
principal business after September
30. Like the Robinson bill to stop
work on plantations on Sunday it is
not likely to get out of committee
l'orau that, thero may he some
virtuo in tho measure. One .does
not have to barken back far to get
into his thinker tho fact that over:
charges in the stores was a reason
for a strike and labor disturbances
on Hawaii. Also that tho existence
of plantation stores saps tho life out
of tho independent storekeepers and
puts their business on the blink even
though they aro willing to sell for
lower price than tho company stores.
Thero are two sides to tho question
and tho ono tho laborers look to is
that which will givo them cheaper
commodities. It amuses tho public
to read that thq plantation stores
aro conducted, as benevolent insti
tutions for tho purposo of helping
tho laborer and then read tho reports
which show tho profit in most of tho
stores during the year.
Another bill that excites interest
is that providing for tho franchise,
for a telephone company in the wilds
of Puna. If cost has consideration
do not imagine a line will be built.
f receipts aro taken into account,
and they can be but "possible" re
ceipts, I am suro none will ever sup
port a ' hello" girl in the district.
Affonso is busy in another matter
which interests every sheriff aiid his
deputy on the islands. The abuse
of tho prison system in the outlying
districts is an open book. Officials
seem to feel that men arc sent toy
jail for tho purpose of aiding them (
to conduct their ranches and house-
lold affairs at the least possible ex
pense. Keccntiy the matter came
up in Hilo and tho sheriff sent a
defy to the magistrate who sentenced'
a man to prison, not to work in an
officials yard. Now Affonso has in
troduced a bill making such things
an offense so that if it is passed mis
demeanants will not havo the privi-
egc of studying small farming in
tho acres of the officials of the
county.
Tho reports from Cuba and
throughout Europe where real sugar
experts aro to bo found, indicato a
short crop and high prices for that,
staple. All of which is good to tlibi
cars of tho resident of Hawaii fjvTfolt
realizes that his existence in thfrisl-1 ,
ands depends upon tho success of" '
tho plantations. The advance has
put heart into people who aro on tho
street looking for investments. Mc- -
Brydd sold strong at $6.75 yestcr- ,
day against $6.50 at tho end of the
week and Olaa crawled to $4.75.
Monday next will let loose many
thousands of dollars by the way of
dividends and interest on bonds.
Much of this will bo reinvested in .
local stocks and tho tendency in
price will undoubtedly bo upward.
From all accounts investors in stocks
havo good things to which their
thoughts may safely go in the future.
Mountain King, that almost mythi
I- " ,
cal mine which took thousands from;
tho purses of people who could ill
afford to lose, went from 65 to 70
cents yesterday. Honolulu Conso
lidated oil is strong at 1.90, Sierra
.Nevada, the McUandless mine ana -Vi
water company, still holds at par ''' ?iV
with 812.50 asked. Of tho fiyo; ,.;;
thousand treasury stock soon to bo j
issued I learn all will be taken up , '
by those to whom it is to be alotted. ;
It is issued at par $10.00. This is ,
tho company into which four Hono- ' , -lulu
residents put eighty thousand '
dollars each.
Stanley Richardson Married.
Miss Roberta R6berts, a Stanford
girl and daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
J. B. Roberts of this city, was mar
ried this morning to Stanley Rich
ardson, a sugar grower of Maui,
T. H., and a graduate of tho Uni
versity of California and Yalo
University. Tho ceremony was

Church and was attended by society
folk of this city and San Francisco.
The bride wore white and was at
tended by her sister, Miss Pearl'
Robertsas maid of honor. Paul
Herriott of San Francisco was best

future home, April 12. 4
During tho last summer Mr. and
Mrs. J. B. Roberts and two daugh
ters spent several months in Hono
lulu, being guests at tho Moana for
some timo and later at Tho Mac-,
donald on Punahou street. When
tho family returned to San Joso,
Miss Roberts decided to remain
hero and teach. She was sent to
Maui to take charge of one of tho
schools and was therQ but a short
timo when she met Mr,. Richardson.
Tho brido is very attractive and
very pretty, of a decided brunette
