A Detective's Surprise.
Detective Kaapa went into the house
of somematives in an alley opposite the
Commercial saloon on Saturday with
the intention of seeking out some in
formation. Upon arrival he found nine
natives engaged in gaming. He put
them under arrest and "held for inves
tigation" was placed opposite their

tective's chances of getting what infor

Work." The idea of this treatment of

a special subject grew .out of discus
sions at the Friday meetings of the
"Christian Workers." Naturally the
tone of each discourse was the fame.
Rev. Mr. Birnie spoke of unity of pur

AT THE THEATER.
Good Audience for Miss Adair's
Specialty Show.
There was a fine audience for Miss
Elsie Adair's specialty show at the
opera house Saturday evening. The
entertainment wfas about all that had
been promised and in most respects
was of merit and was satisfactory. It
had a few incidents that added some
zest, scarcely anticipated 'by a reading
of the program. In the curtain raiser
The Decision of the Court," Miss
Adair was decidedly clever. Mr. Walk
er, the city amateur, was quite at ease
and entirely natural. His only fault
was that his voice was too contained.
The climax of the pretty little piece
was made a trifle awkward, if laugh
able from the lack of lubricant or mus
cle for the slowly descending curtain
The Hawaiian Quartette consisted of
four- natives and a beautiful Saturday
night jag. The man who had been
dallying with the demijohn made a
great hit. He came on for the encore,
but was not permitted to appear for the
second number of the combination.
McGuire and Vierra were lively and
very amusing in the sketch Ten Min
utes with the Irish Help in the Kitchen
of a Klondike Millionarie." Their
gags" and songs were more than good
and their dancing up to the mark.
Miss Adair, in two appearances, sang
about a dozen songs and each one was
voted- "immense." Miss Adair's voice
has not entirely recovered from its
Lenten deprivations, "but her style is
certainly "the real thing."

It is either a good thing or a bad

TAME BASE BALL
Reorganized Union Team Not Up
to
REGIMENTS HAVE EASY TIME
No Trouble to Best the New Nine.
A Couple of Incidents.
Small Attendance.
Saturday's game of baseball between
the Union and Regiment teams was
certainly most disappointing. People
who went out expected to see a good
game on account of the fact that the
Union team had been reorganizd and
better players assigned to the various
positions. Indeed the work in. the first
two innings seemed to 'lend color to
that belief. However, the remainder
of the game was enough to change
their minds. Tne whole fault sscnied
to be in the fact that the Union players
had not sufficient time for prac
tice. Then again, two of the very ibest
players on the team were compelled
to be away on account of having to at
tend drill of the Mounted Patrol, of
which they are meimbers. As scon as
the Union team began to do -down
hill, the members seemed to go all to
pieces. The 'ball was ibatted alll over
the field by the Regiments and the
players seemed unaible to stop a thing.
Even little pop-up flies were muffed.
However, (with all this bad playing on
the part of the Union they were not
the subject of more unfavorable com
ment by the audience than the Regi
ment team. In the last two innings the
players simp'.y struck wildly at the
balls that were pitched to them and
in icase they hit them, refused to run
but simply allowed themselves to be
thrown out. The audience was much
displeased at this performance and
many left before the game was finish
ed, on this very account.
The team were as follows:
Regiment Jones, c. f.; Wilder, 1 b.;
Lishman, s. s. ; Gorman, 3 b.; Davis,
c. ; -Kiley, 1. f.; Hansman, r. f. ; Bower,
p.; Moore, 2 b.
Union Karratti, 1 b.; Jackson, c. f.;
Gomes, 2 b.; Kiwa, p.; Cummings, s. s.;
Akina, r. f.; Luahiwa, 1. f.; Sebastian,
c; Duncan, 3 b.
A complete summary of the game
wi'il not be given at it was by no
means an interesting contest. There
was some excitement in the first in
ning when Moore of the Regiment
team knocked a home run and arrived
at the plate after a splendid run, only
to find that the 'Umpire had called time
previous to his hit and that therefore,
all the work went for nothing. Moore
did not say much but he admits he
did think a great deal.
Although Kiwa the small pitcher for
the Union boys, was batted about
pretty freely, he did succeed in strik
ing out some of the .best batters in the
Regiment team. Akina was substi
tuted in his place but lasted only for
a short time, luiwa again iook tne
box. It was at this time that the Re
giment began to pile up the runs. 16
was evident that Kiwa's arm was
weakening.
In the fifth inning an accident fefell
Hansman' of the Regiment team. He
was running past first and was just
turning to take second when he drop
ped to ground. It seems that he turn
ed his knee. When the Regiment
players ran to attend to him, Moore
picked him up and carried him to first
base so that there could be no ques
tion as to his safety. After that, cold
water was applied. Hansman was
substituted by Hennessey.
In the sixth inning, Wilder went in
as catcher for the Regiments and his
place on first was taken by Davis.
In the last two innings the Regi
ment players let balls pass them and
played without any object whatever.

A Happy Celebration.
Lusitana Hall was a blaze of light in
side from 7 Saturday evening till mid
night. The place was beautifully decor
ated with flags and banners and em
blems and flowers and greens and was
thronged with people. The occasion
was the celebration of the fifth anni
versary of Court Camoes, Ancient Or
der of Foresters. This society is well
known, and popular on account of its
good fellowship and its splendid coop
erative system. The celebration of
Saturday eveing ended with a jolly
dance.
Col. larkcr Will Come.
It is learned how some -of the
teachers on Islands other than Oahu,
have gathered from some source the
thought that Colonel Parker and wife
will not be here from the United States
for the Summer School to be held in
Honolulu. It has been settled for a
year now that Colonel and Mrs. Parker
will be here and the lecture course has
been published in this paper. There
has been mo intimation that there
might be any possibility of failure to
keep the engagement. It can further
be announced at this time that there
will also be here as one of the Summer
School instructors, Miss Annie E. Al
len, a kindergarten trainer in the Chi
cago Normal School.
A. K. AKAU.
An Hawaiian of Sterling Worth
Passes Away.
One of the truest and best'and most
capable of Hawaiians passed away,
when A. K. Akau died at his School
street residence here at 7 o'clock yes
terday morning. Man and boy he had
been for 20 years an employe of the
Honolulu Iron Works. Starting in as a
messenger boy, Akau gained promo
tion on merit alone, until he became
cashier for; the big establishment. Year
after year he handled thousands upon
thousands of dollars and ever without
any error or a fault. He was trusted
implicity by officials of the company,
and enjoyed ito the fullest the confid
ence and esteem of his fellow workers
and citizens generally. Mr. Akau was
of a pleasant disposition, graceful and
cordial of manner and was at once
liked by all. He was frequently offered
positions with the Government, but
preferred to remain with the old house.
At various times he served as a clerk
or judge of election.
Mr. Akua leaves a wife and five chil
dren. His parents also survive him and
for a number of years have been mem
bers of his household. All are left
above want, as Akau had been careful
and as well carried a life insurance
policy. He made his will about a fort
night ago. Consumption was the cause
of the death. The young man had been
quite strong until about a year ago.
For the past six months he has been
failing and for two months has been
confined to his bed. The funeral will
be held from the Roman Catholic Cath
edral at 5 p. m. today.
Cricket Afternoon.
British Cormmissioner Kenny had
about twenty cricket guests on
Saturday afternoon. There was In
teresting practice on the new pitch

The host was pleasant and gen
erous as ever in his entertainment
of all comers. On Saturday afternoon
next at 2 o'clock the cricketers will
have a game on the Makiki recreation
grounds.
