Star. Sept. 2*2. It is well that all the iuvited guests should know before-hand what kind of an entertainrueut they are expected to attend. Among ta* list of names of those persons who are serving ou tbe Ball committees. are noliced one or two whieh a short while since, in the Star’s list of those governraent offioals who had uot sigued the annexation

We firmly hope tlmt all those who believe in the abso!ule iiulepemlenee of our beloved Hawaii will st md to their colors and let the annexationists bave a dance «11 to tbemselves. It is to be boped that every daugliler of this their native l«nd wiil sacnfice pleasuro for principle for onee. We will take good care to p>jblish the names of those only who are actually present. ■■■—
