THE PEOPLE STILL WAITING
AND PRAYING FOR RAIN.

Koilila, Sept. 10, 1833 Kohala
wants rain. Anything bbort cf a
cloudburst will be acceptable. We
c tiled for rain last week, and the
print was hardly dry on the morning
Advertiser when the sky clouded up
and some slight dashes of rain fell
Nature made an effort in the right
direction, bat she did not follow it
up. This is the eecond time we have
voiced our need, and we do not want
to have to 6peak again.
It is a carious coincidence concern
ing this drought that almost every
preacher in the district has been tak
ing a vacation. The Foreign cbnrch
starts up agnin on Sunday and the
moon changes on the tame day, and
that combination i looked forward
to hopefully.
By last mail a modest request for
th foreign mail was preferred, and
our prayer was answered the Bamn
day it went into print. WilJer S.S
Clauilino brought in the nihil two
full days before we had hoped for it.
The postal authorities want to wake
up. Our new pofrtmaster geueral has
a good opportunity to show thecoun
try what improvements are possible
with the means at his disposal. A
little calculation and foresight on
the part of the postal authorities
could make a big improvement on
present tactics. The expense of hav
iog our mail carried overland
from Uamakna or Kona once iu a
while would be trifling. When our
regular local steamer cannot make
connections with the foreign steamer,
why not ntiliz the V. G Hall or one
of the Ilamakua steamer? If we do
not get the Australia' mail before
"Wednesday look out for secession.
The old club hall at Kapaau is to
bo torn down, and a new ami better
one will probably arise from the
ruins.
As a lust tribute to departing
worth wo gave a farewell dunce on
Friday night in the old hull. The
evening turning out fine, one of the
very largest uud most brilliant
gatherings of late years responded
to the invitation. Gay with flowers
and foliage aud bunting, pulsing
with the music of cornet aud violiu
and guitar, vibrating with the ca
dence of the light footed dancers, the
Inst hours of the old house passed
j .jv finely away.
By 8 o'clock the ball room wa
ablaze with livht, and the perfumed
air whs tieii.bling with the sweet
hounds of tuubic. Dance followed
dance. Now "it wns the graceful
glidings o the waltz and polka, now
the iutriCHte mazes of the quart
dance. "Soft eyes looked love to
eyes that spake again, aud all went
uir-ry as a mariiage bell." Young
arid old were mtngled happily to
gether, all vieing with one another
in uddiiitf to tLe general hilarity.
With midnight came a sumptuous
collation under the Bopervi-ion of
our fcccomolished club caterer, Mr.
Terenuo Ke-ViO. Th-o, refreshed
we returned to the hall, aud till tne
daylight dtwi.ed we chased the
golden hours with flying feet, amid
the poetry f motion and concord of
sweet sounds.
The thanks of the community are
due to those who conceived and sue
ceasfully carried out tbe affair and
especially to Mr. Fredenburg who
came all the way from Waimea to
take charge of the music.
There was another large picnic on
Tuesday, a pylvan pcene of enjoy
ment, a vision of 'alpine hats, aud
wood nymphs decorated with tro
phies of leaf and vine, and sportive
naiad- playing in the silvery wave.
If you want a days unalloyed fun
come to Kohala in September.
The musical organzttion from
Kona has been delighting Kohala
audiences with their varied accom-pIL-Lmects.
The warbling of oue of
their members is something quite
marvelou-s and their solo singer won
golden opinions here. There was a
great combined concert in the native
cbnrch on Tuesday night, and a con
cert by the Kona boys in the club
ball on Thursday night. On Wed
nesday afternoon there was a great
InrtU attended by over a thousand
people.
Mr. Dole, president of the Ha
waiian commonwealth, is resting
from the cares of state in our midst.
He is the guest of Mr. E P. Low.
Mr. Sauzy, of the firm of T. II.
Davie & Co., is in Kohala combin
ing business and pleasure.
It is rumored that a firm in Hono
lulu intend starting a first class
tailoring establishment in central
Kohala. ?t will supply a long felt
want. Ol course, handsome men
look well in most anything; but on
esthetic principles, we prefer a weli
fittiDg suit.

It Will Commence, It is Thought,
if Congress Does Not Act.
The communication recently re
ceived by the president from Li
Hung Chang, the Chinese viceroy,
is taken by certain officials to mean
that China will certainly retaliate
against the United States in case
congress at its next regular session
fails to modify the Geary law so as
to make it less oppressive to the
Chinese residents of the United
States. The viceroy said in his dis
patch that no retaliatory measures
would be instituted at present bv
the Chinese government, and that
American citizens in China will be
fully protected until the assembling
of congress in regular session. This
is regarded as an implied threat
that such protection will be re
moved in the event of the failure
of congress to enact the proposed
remedial legislation in the interests
of Chinese residing in the United
States, and is so construed, eo it is
said, at the state department. The
statement alleged to have been
made to Consul William Bowman
at Tien Ttsin by Viceroy Li Hung
Chang is practically the same as
the communication received by the
president from the viceroy. Am.

A letter from Captain A. C.
Walkup of the Hiram Bingham
at Butaritari, pays: "It lacks only
a few days since Hiram's anchor
firt dropped on coral bottom.
This is the sixty-third anchorage
at ten different island., many of
them at front doors of villages
where a Bhip never anchors. The
1000 Gilbert shares (in Hiram
Bingham stock) are all taken. I
have made my second visit at three
islands and find thit every four
months is none too often to look at
and stir up the work. I think
next year's work will be encourag
ing. Many of the fallen have agiin
confessed their Saviour. One king
discarded his second wife; another
king his heathen games. After
some of my addresses on tobacco
and smoking, nearly the whole
audience would arise to signify
their intention to discard it. Praise
the gospel's power! The prayer-
song, 'JesUs pilot Hiram Bingham'
is being answere 1." Ex.

all previous records and harvested

Mrs. Sarah M. Black of Seneca,
Mo., during the past two years has
been affected with Neuralgia of the
Head, Stomach and Womb, and
writes: "My food did not seem to
strengthen me at all and my appe
tite was very variable. My face
was yellovr, my head dull, and I had
such pains in my left side. In the
morning when I got up I would
have a flow of mucus in the mouth,
and a bad, bitter taste. Sometimes
my breath became short, and I had
such queer, tumbling, palpitating
sensations around the heart. I ached
all day under the shoulder blades,
in the left side, and down the back
of my limbs. It seemed to be worse
in the wet, cold weather of Winter
and Spring; and whenever the spells
came on, my teet and lianas would
turn cold, and I could get no sleep
at all. I tried everywhere, and got
no relief before using August Flower
Then the change came. It has done
me a wonderful deal of good during
the time I have taken it and is work
ing a complete cure.
