MAUI, Sept. 5. During Saturday af
ternoon, August 29th, Wailuku streets
in the vicinity of the hotel were crowd
ed with people. Some one said that he
never saw so many people together on
Maui. They waited patiently and they
watched eagerly the inflation of the
balloon with hot air, generated by the
burning of sundry gallons of kerosene.
It was rumored that $100 or $150 was
raised by subscription before the as
cension. Somewhat after 5 p. m.. Price, the
aeronaut, entered the netting of the
parachute which was attached to the
lower ropes, and the ascent of the
balloon began amid the cheering of
the multitude. Hardly had the noise
ceased when an awful silence ensued
the balloon had burst, and Price was
seen to unhook the parachute, turn a
somersault and fall like a stone a dis
tance of 50 to 75 feet into a mango tree
growing in the yard of W. T. Robinson.
The tree saved the life of the balloon
ist, for with the exception of a severely
scratched face he was uninjured. The
ascent and descent were accomplished
within five minutes.
Base ball affairs are decidedly lively
in Wailuku. During the same After
noon as the balloon disaster the Wai
luku boys vanquished the Kamehameha
nine, 18 to 11, in spite of the fact that
the Honolulu boys had James Kauka of
Makawao to catch for them. The play
ers were as follows:
Wailuku: Akaina, c; Cummings, p
and captain; Bailey, lb; David Kuika
hi, 2b; Chas. Chillingworth, 3b; A.
Crook, ss; C. Paela, If; J. Ross, cf;
Harry Mossman, rf.
Kamehameha Ako Aki, p and cap
tain; James Kauka, c; James Cocket,
lb; John Cocket. 2b; Kauhane, 3b;
Oana, ss; Kaloi. If; Ainana Nawahine,
cf; Paulo, rf.
Lawrence Crook was umpire.
During Thursday, the 3d, the Kame
hamehas turned the tables on the Wai
luku nine, 13 to 9, having sent for
Meheula, the crack Honolulu pitcher,
for the purpose. Today the decisive
game will be played, and as both sides
expect victory, the interest in the con
test is at fever heat.
During Monday, August 31st, a small
fire occasioned a great flurry on Pala
plantation. A little cook house in the
midst of a plantation camp was burned.
It is stated that Josepa is the new
District Magistrate for Hana, vice Ka
leo. Kakaia, the former captain of po
lice, takes Josepa's place as deputy
sheriff.
During Friday evening, the 4th, a
small progressive "forty-two" party
was given by Miss Aiken of Paia as a
farewell to Miss Juliette King, who will
depart for her Honolulu home today.
Miss May Hayselden of Lahaina and
Miss Lucy Hayselden of Lanai are

The Many Adaptation of a Wonderful
Genius.
"Well. Jabez, what is the matter?
You Mem absorlx d. "
"Lemme alone. I'm inventin. "
"Doing w hat?"
"Inventin, I tell you. Got the artist's
wh l down fine. His pal-tte is in
front, his easel's behind, a:;d all his
paints nn the crank? they k'-ep better
mixed mat way and he just wraps his
canvas around the upper bar of the
frame. See? And I haven't forgotten his
umbrella. "
"Is that all?"
"No. I had to give a power of thought
to a wheel for a double bass kind of
Um ieldly thing. Got over it by making
the double bass man straddle his instru
ment. Trombones, ophicleides and ket
tledrums just pack away like boxes in
a n'st, and .Nmsa's only pot to say a
word and my fortune's made in musical
wheels. ' '
"Anything else?"
"There's the literary wheel got the
points from a Brooklyn librarian. The
book or the magazine is hld in place
just this side of the ram's horn, and
these is an automatic concern that turns
over the leaves at the exact time. With
that arrangement the publishers will
have no further reason to complain that
txxjks are now a drug on the market.
Then there is tho sportsman's wheel.
He slings his double barrel right under
him, and there's a rest if he's a pot
hunter, and a place for 50 rounds of
ammunition, and a crib for a pointer or
setter, as the case may be, and a game
bag and a basket for holding dog biscuit
for a week.
A little, variation in the sportsman's
bike and you have the angler's rig,
down to his green painted hamper with
the bait in it. The drummer's wheel
took a lot of sabe. I don't care what
kind of samples the inan carries tea
pots or pig iron it's all aranged for.
Don't ask me any more questions, for
I'm on the milkmaid's wheel now. You
couldn't catch on, I am afraid, not be
ing of an ingenious turn of mind. Well,
it's about this, and don't you give me
away: She just scorches around her
cows, and the milking stool is adjust
able. A patent attachment to a cy
cloidal sprocket works the exhaust and
strips the last drop from the cow's ud
der. Then, when the tin bucket that the
chain carries along is filled, all she has
to do is to zip around to another cow,
and that works the churner, and so by
the time she is through with tho very
last Sukie there is your butter, and the
cyclometer tells you how much butter
you have to a pound. I'm working out
a refrigerating principle now as a part
of that wheel so as to keep tfie butter
cool and fresh. That wheel is going to
break the co-operative dairy dusiness.
Don't ask me no more silly questions.
See?" New York Times.
Former Slave Market, Constantinople.
On benches so placed as to command
a good view were the buyers, coarse
looking Turks, whose calm, searching
gaze seemed to take in every detail.
The merchant conducting the sale stood
before them, talking and gesticulating
with great vehemence. He turned to
one of the x w which was filled with
young CircasStn women, most of whom
were very handsome. They were seated
close together on the ground in an atti
tude of listless despondency, their white
garments flowing around them, and, as
they gazed up at me with their sad,
dark eyes, I felt painfully how they
must envy the free and happy stranger
who came to look on them in their in
famy and misery.
The slave trader came forwird, fol
lowed by a phlegmatic looking Turk,
and, seizing one of the women by the
arm, forced her to stand up before this
man, who, it appeared, wished to buy
her. He proceeded to inspect her, very
much in the same manner as he might
have examined a horse or a dog, and his
decision was unfavorable. He turned
away with a contemptuous movement
of the head, and the slave merchant, in
a rage, thrust back the unfortunate girl,
who sank down trembling among her
companions in captivity. This scene
was as much as we could stand, and we
left the place hurriedly at once. It is
well indeed that such sights can be wit
nessed no more, at least in Europe.
Blackwood's Magazine,
Blackburn and Blair.
They tell a good story in Washington
on Joe Blackburn. He had an exciting
argument in a senatorial cloakroom at
Washington several years ago as to the
relative value of brandy and whisky as
man's greatest boon. In the midst of
the argument the stoical prohibition
Senator Blair of New Hampshire en
tered the room. Forgetting the well
known total abstinence tendencies of
the New Englander, Senator Blackburn
appealed to him to settle the dispute.
"I do not know the difference between
whisky and brandy, " replied Senator
Blair, with a face as passive as a Jap
anese doll. After Blair had departed
Blackburn's eyes actually moistened
with sympathy as he shook his head
eadly and said : "Poor old man! His
gtoiuach must be in awful shape."
New York Tribune.
Dncks and Drakes.
A man who wrote to Forest and Stream
awhile ago said that SO per cent of
the ducks he had killed were drakes
four drakes to one female and he
wanted to know the reason why. Others
promptly said they had observed similar
preponderance of drakes, and also want
ed to know why. One man told how he
had seen one female duck chased by
four or five males. Ho had killed 45 in
a spring day's shooting, and of them
only 9 were females.
Thus far no explanation has been
given of the matter.

LORD CHIEF JUSTICE IiLSSELL.
Sir Charles Russell, Lord Chief Justice of England, who is now on a visit
to America, and whose presence is of particular interest to the legal profes
sion, is Albion's greatest living lawyer. He was born in Ireland in 1833 and
was called to the bar in 1859. For years past he has been conspicuous for his
eloquence, legal lore and successful practice.

The political pot is bub

business there will be dead
until after the election in
November. We knew it
would be and took advantage
of the manufacturer's will
ingness to part with their
goods below cost, rather
than hold them over. You
share the benefits with us.
This week we are offering
you an opportunity of a life
time to secure towels. When
we say cut down the prices,
it does not mean old stock,
sold cheap to get rid of them,
but new articles reduced to
meet popular demand.
We have linen towels all
lengths and qualities; a fine
article for the boudoir and
indispensible to ladies and
children. Honey comb towels
cheaper in price and not so
good in quality, suitable for
ordinary use. Turkish
towels for the bath are as
necessary as soap, no bath
room can be considered
complete or perfect in its
furnishings without them,j
and the prices are right.
A lot of good cotton towels
at $1.25 per dozen means
money in you pocket.
