Friend, 1883-07

Published by the Rev. Samuel Chenery Damon from 1845 to 1885, The Friend focused on temperance and Christian mission to seamen. It began as a monthly newspaper that included news from both American and English newspapers, and gradually expanded to adding announcements of upcoming events, reprints of sermons, poetry, local news, editorials, ship arrivals and departures and a listing of marriages and deaths. From 1885 through 1887, it was co-edited by the Revs. Cruzan and Oggel. The editorship then passed to Rev. Sereno Bishop, who held the post until the publication of the paper fell under the auspices of the Board of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association in April of 1902 where it remained until June 1954. Since then, it has continued in a different format under the Hawaii Conference-United Church of Christ up to the present day, making it the oldest existing newspaper in the Pacific. Note that there are some irregularities in the numbering of individual issues, so that two issues may have the same volume and number, but different dates will distinguish them.

The time se·ems to have arrived when something more systematic should be done by the government for the increasing number of sick and destitute in our midst. Many of these are disabled laborers, coming from the different plantations on the other islands. We think it is a fit and proper subject to be brought before the next meeting of the Planters' Association. 25 KOHALA CHINESE CHURCH.

EDITOR FRIEND :-During a few weeks' tesidence in California, I have made observations about the future prospects ·of the Chinese in the United States, which may be interesting to those considering what is likely to be their social and religious influence in · 1 d Th · · · h our 1s an s. eir ern1grat10n to t e United States is one of the remarkable events of our age, being the only modern instance of a heathen people invading, instead of fading away from before civilized countries. It is an event traught with great results to America and China. There are now 115,000 of this people in the United States, of whom 75,000 are in California, 9, 5oo in Oregon, 3,200 in ·w ashington Territory, and the remainder scattered over almost all parts of the country. The reasons for restricting their emigration into this country flre interesting to us of the Hawaiian Islands. They may be summed up in the one consideration, that California should be saved from becoming Mongolian. This sort of danger may not be as seriously regarded in our islands as in America. It is with us a foregone conclusion that a large part of our population must always be, as It has always been, colored races, who can do field labor in our warm climate, and who do not largely come into competition with American and European laborers, and who are absolutely l)eeded for our The Chinese industrial enterprises. are the most quiet 1 thrifty, and law- THE FRIEND, JULY, 1883. abiding of such races, and they readily The laws against Chinese immigra- by Sabbath School exercises.

Sabbath · afternoon, June 17th, the impres~ve funeral services of the Princess Ruth Keelikolani took place fr9m her late residence on Emma street.

The funeral preparations were made 1lnder the direction of Mr. S. M. Damon. The coffin could scarcely have been in better taste. It was not the beauty of elaboration so much as the beauty of richness, of grain, of polish and elegant design.

It is always interesting to hear of former residents of ~onolulu and what they are doing,-a friend of ours has heard from a former fellow citizen Captain Gelett, who has made in his home in Oakland, and who, since leaving here in 1875, has been devoting his time and attention to perfecting a very useful invention in the shape of a Portable Ice machine.

On this rested a flnral crown, the handiwork of Mrs. J. 0. Carter. Other beautiful floral tributes were near the coffin. The coffin lay in the large drawing room to the right of the entrance hall. Chairs wer placed for the chief mourners, the guests of honor and other guests, in an arrangement somewhat as follows: The head of the coffin was towards the east end of the drawing room. Immediately at the head were placed the chairs of the chief mourners, Mrs. Bishop and Queen Dowager Emma. Behind them were the chairs of King Kalakaua, Queen Kapiolani, Princess Liliuokalani, Princess Pomaikelani and Princess Kekaulike. A little to the left of the king sat the Prince~s Likelike, her husband Mr. A. S. Cleghorn and her <laughter. To the right of the coffin sat the United States Minister Resident, United States Consul McKinley, British Vice-Consul Davies, and several prominent citizens. Several officers of the Hartford, in full uniform sat facing the foot of the coffin, together with several of the clergy. The officiating clergyman, Rev. Henry H.

Dr. Joseph Jones, President of the Louisiana Board of Health, made, only two years ago, an exhaustive report on the extent of the disease in that state, proving incontestibly that it was not only hereditary, but contagious.
