Friend, 1882-10

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.

Dillingham, in consequence of a fall from his horse, a short distance from his residence. He left home about 8 A. M. to come to his place of business in Honolulu. He was found insensible and immediately taken to his home, where the best medical aid was called, but all in vain, and about 2 P. M. he was called away, leaving a beloved wife and two children to mourn his untimely encl. His funeral was attended from the Bethel on the following clay, at 2 P. M. A large concourse of citizens assembled, together with the I. 0. 0. F, of which he was a member. He was also a member of the Bethel Union Church. The deceased was born Sept. 5th, 1853, in Southborough, Mass.. He came with his family to the Islands in 187 5. For the past three years he has been a book-keeper, in the house o( Castle & Cooke. In all the priYate relations of life, as husband, son and brother, he was most exemplary and beloved, while in the community he was highly ~steemecl for Christi:m virtues and honorable conduct. The following Resolutions were passed at a late meeting of the Y. M. C. A., of which he was the honored treasurer: TV!iereas, It has pleased Cod, very suddenly and unexpectedly to remove from our number, to his eternal home and heavenly inherit:mce Charles T. Dillingham, a beloved member and trusted officer of our Association. Resolved, Thal we place on record this expression of our feeling of bereavement in the death of om' brother, thus taken in full health and in the prime of life, possessing as he did, so many qualifications for usefulness, and endowed with so many of the virtues of the sincere Christian. Resol,H:d, That we, the members of the Young '.\1en's Christian Association of Honolulu, consecrating ourselves anew to his and our Savior, and emulating his virtues, will endeavor to act well our part, in the hope that when we have finished our course, we shall again be united in the heavenly home. Resolved, That we extend to the afflicted family, and all the immediate relatives, our tenderest sympathy, commending them to that God who does not willingly afflict and grieve, and praying that they may be sustaint.d in their sore bereavement by an unfaltering trust in Christ, and the consolations of the gospel of God. Resolved, That we commend the unselfish life, the diligent example of Chas. T. Dillingham to al-! young men who would secure, as he did, the appreciation of their fellow men, and go down to the grave, in God's time, respected and monrned with a universal sorrow. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family and relatives of our dear brother, and another to the FRIEND for publication. OLD RETIRED SHIP'.\.IASTER.-His Excellency Governor Dominis has allowed us the perusal of a letter from Captain George Barrel, now residing in Springfield, Illinois. He was once a sailor on board the Kameliamelza, commanded by Captain John Meek, and also, on board the Owhyliee, commanded by Captain Dominis, bound to China, in 1824, with sandal wood. He subsequently visited Honolulu in 1850 in command of the Riclzard Colden. Like many other old sailors and shipmasters retired from the sea and living inland, he retains a strong desire in his old age, to look out from the "rolling waves" and "bounking billows," and to hear from his old shipmates. Now should these lines fall under the eye of any of Captain Barrell's old sea-faring acquaintance, he would be glad to hear from them. THE SOUTH SEA ISLANDS. At a recent meeting of the London Missionary Society, Captain Turpie, who accepted the post of first offiCTr on the pioneer missionary ship Yolzn Williams, twenty-six years ago, gave a very interesting account of life in the South Sea Islands and of the progress of the people in that distant part of the world. The nearest island of the fiftytwo now under the care of the Society is four thousand miles eastward from Sydney, · Australia. The Yohn Williams, in her annual round of voyages, sails first, usually in the month of March, to Tahiti, returning to Sydney at the end of the year to refit and replenish her own stores and the supplies for the stations. At some of the islands there is no anchorage, On arriving, the missionary is taken ashore in the boat and occupies his time until the crew have landed the stores, in examining the schools, advising with the native teachers, receiving their reports, etc. The Harvey group, which twenty-six years ago was absolutely without export trade, now exports at least $250,000 worth of products annually. At the Savage Island and Samoa the Society's work is prospering. Eleven years ago the Ellis group were utter heathen. The people were continually fighting, the population was decreasing rapidly on account of their evil habits; but today, with the exception of Byron Island, the whole of them are civilized and Christianized, and they are living in a state of peace and harmony. The schools are well and regularly attended; the people are decently clothed; they have built for themselves new houses, and they import places of worship, which they buy from traders with the Australian colonies. Captain Turpie says that twenty-five years ago he was landing goods for the missionaries at the Loyalty group, when the people came down fully armed with clubs and spears, white-washed on one side and their natural color on the other; but to-day you may walk the length and breadth of Murray and find the people clothed and in their right mind, with schools in every village ; and if you want to buy a hundredweight of yams, or a pig, or fowls, or whatever it may be, and ask the native what you owe him for it, he will take out a pencil and paper or a slate and work it out in plain arithmetic, and say,. " there is the bill." An interesting fact stated by Capt. Turpie, showing the deep hold which this Christian work has taken of the natives, is that annually, as the time for the expedition arrives, numbers of the new converts, both men and women> are eager to go as volunteer missionaries to New Guinea, though by so doing they risk health and even life. In view of these facts, the Yolm Williams may proudly bear upon her prow the texts, " Peace on earth, good will to men," and continue to fly the ensign of a dove bearing an olive branch in its mouth-the motto '' Messenger of Peace.-N. Y. Obsen,1er. THE FRIEND, OCTOBER, 1882. EDITOR'S TABLE. .HISTORY OF THE FORMATION OF THE CON· STITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES AMERICA. volumes. I882. OF By George Bancroft. In two New York. D. Appleton & Cc. Away back, a half century ago, when an under-graduate of Amherst College, we could look out from the college windows, across the beautiful valley of ·Connecticut river, '' willow-fringed/' as Holland writes-to Northampton, where was the famous " Round Hill" school, in which it was reported, that Bancroft taught, who was writing the history of the United States. Great was the awakened desire among the students to read this history. At length appeared volume I, opening with this sentence of the preface, "I have formed the design of writing a history of the United States from the discovery of the the American continent to the present time." The preface bears the date of June 16, 18 34. This was 48 years ago ; hence, Mr. Bancroft must have then been several years in collecting historic materials and writing the nrst volume which appeared that year. We can recall, with vivid distinctness, the interest awakened by reading that first volume, and as years have rolled away, and volume after volume has appeared, we have read with equal interest, each successive volume, and now these ten goodly volumes lie before us, which we have perused and reperused many times. Some of them we have noticed in our paper. Under these circumstances, it was with no little interest, we read a few months .ago, the announcement that Mr. Ban•croft was ahout to issue a history of the ,constitution of the United States in two volumes. We immediately ordered them from San Francisco, and now these two lie before us, making in all twelve noble volumes. Knowing with what care and painstaking these volur_nes have been written and rewritten, how thoroughly has been the search for historic data, how many years have elapsed since the undertaking was commenced, how ample the materials at the author's command, how many able writers have contributed their aid, how all the governments of Europe have -opened their archives for Mr. Bancroft to explore and search, how notably the world has undergone marvellous revolutions and changes since this history was commenced, it is with feelings of interest that we have perused the last two volumes of this great historic work. Lord Brougham spoke of Bancroft as the only living historian who understood the philosophy of history. The battles of the Revolutionary war and the prominent generals and statesmen, who figured in that ·war, have been discussed until they are as familiar as it is possible to mak~ them ; not so with the events connected with the formation of the constitution of the United States. This is something new, and the reader's attention is wonderfully awakened in tracing the history of the United States from the close of the war, until the final adoption of the constitution, about which, Mr. Gladstone thus writes : " As the British Constitution is the most subtle organism which has proceeded from progressive history, so the American Constitution is the most wonderful work ever struck off at a given time by the brain and purpose of man." This remarkable utterance or paragraph, Mr. Bancroft does well, to make the motto of these volumes. It will bear reading over again and again, then of being long pondered. If our limits would allow most gladly we could write much about these volumes, but we do specially commend them, as well as the ten previous volumes, to the thorough perusal of all readers of history, but specially to all Americans. Young men, cast aside your trashy novels and worthless newspapers, and occupy your spare moments in the perusal of these volumes. You cannot find better, more wholesome and useful historic reading. The second volume opens with these pregnant queries : "Do nations float darkling down the stream of the ages without hope or consolation, swaying with every wind and ignorant whither they are drifting ? Or is there a su perior power of intelligence and love which is moved by justice and shapes their course ?" Mr. Bancroft does not answer these queries, as we should be glad to have had him, but in volume first, page 247, he informs us about \\Tashington's ideas of an overruling Providence ; "No man more thoroughly believed in the overruling Providence of a just and almighty power ; and as the chemist knows that the leaf for its greenness, and beauty, and health, needs the help of the effluence from beyond this planet, so Washington beheld in the movements of nations a marshaling intelligence which is above them all, and which gives order and unity to the universe." We would merely add, that the newspapers report Mr. Bancroft still, at four score, hard at work with his clerks and co-laborers, in searching through libraries and national archives, making copies of important State papers and historical memoranda. He spends his winters in Washington and his summers in . Ne,vport. Long may America's great historian, statesman, diplomat and scholar, be spared to forward his useful studies. While scribbling these paragraphs we recall the fact that more than forty years ago, (1839), we were present at the funeral of the historian's father, the Rev. Dr. Aaron Bancroft, of Worcester, Mass., where he had been for half a century pastor of the Unitarian Church. He was also the author of the " Life of Washington." A sister of Mr. Bancroft, Mrs. Farnam, visited the Islands about twenty years ago, and a nephew, Capt. Bancroft Gherardi, U. S. Navy, will be remembered, when he visited Honolulu, in command of the Pensacola." THIRTIETH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MISSION HAWAIIAN CHILDREN'S SO- CIETY, WITH CONSTITUTION AND BYLAWS, AND A FULL LIST OF HONORARY AND LIFE MEMBERS. Hono- lulu, I882. During the past half century, we have read memoirs of missionaries, histories of missions, missionary reports and published much relating to the missionary work in all parts of the world. It has also been our privilege, to visit mission stations in many parts of the world and become more or less acquainted with missionaries of various societies. The subject of missions is one familiar to us, and in which we take a deep and growing interest. We write the words growing interest, fully realizing their significence and meaning. We discern, in the revolutio'ns and wars taking place among the nations, that new openings are continually being made, for the entrance of missionaries into new and hitherto unevangelized countries. Africa, China, Corea and Japan furnish examples illustrative of this assertion. Mission work on our own islands has THE FRIEND, OCTOBER, 1882. been much discussed and most important results have issued. The subject is by no means exhausted. Principles have been and are now operating of momentous importance. The future of these Islands, through all coming time must be more or less shaped and modified by this mission work. Just now a new element is entering into this work ; we refer to Chinese department, so essentially modified by the labors of German and American missionaries in China. The subject is a most fruitful one, inviting discussion and eliciting comment, but just now our thoughts are turned in another direction by the report heading this article "Thirtieth Annual Report, etc." During a full generation a society has existed on these Islands, totally unique and unlike any other missionary organization, in other parts of the world. It was our privilege to be personally acquainted with the founders of this society and for a period of thirty years to have watched its growth unto maturity. It combines the missionary benevolent, literary and social elements in a remarkable manner. Its members call each other "cousins." Its monthly meetings are highly interesting and stimulating to thought and benevolent enterprise. At one period it published a quarterly, and although discontinued still the unpublished communications and editorials, read at the meetings are among the best literary production of our Island writers. The report lying on our table, is full and most satisfactory respecting the doings of the society; but what has specially arrested our attention in this report has been the address of the retiring president, W. 0. Smith, Esq. This document, we have read and reread, and the more we reflect upon its statements and reasoning the stronger and deeper is the impression left upon our mind, that it should not be laid aside as an ordinary mission report, not to be again taken up, but it is a document which should be thoroughly studied. If the statements are correct and the reasoning logical, then, a most mighty responsibility rests somewhere; in fact, perhaps, upon the missionary fathers and mothers, but most certainly upon their immediate descendants. Scan the following paragraphs : "A careful estimate of the real and personal property now owned by the descendants of the missionaries re~iding on these Islands, places the amount at not less than one million of dollars, and that of members of this society not descendants of missionaries, and residing here, at not less than three-quarters of a million, (total $1,750,000)." Mr. Smith estimates the annual income of .this property at $150,000, while the total contributions of the society amount to only $1,956.46. He adds that the contributions of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, for Foreign Missions, Home Missions, and North Pacific Institute, amount to only $5,200.69. Without going into a full exhibit of statistics, Mr. Smith draws this conclusion; "It would appear so far as the facts are known and published, that the total contributions of this kingdom. by the English speaking professors of the Calvinistic faith for foreign missions is less than $2,900, a portion of the amount being for home work. Leaving a sum for the foreign work, about equal to the salary of a good book-keeper in a mercantile house in Honolulu." This is not a very flattering inference. Other inferences in this address. of Mr. Smith are even less so. Our space will not allow additional comment upon this able address in this issue of our paper, but we shall certainly call up the subject at a future time. We here desire to thank Mr: Smith for the careful and painstaking style of this address. It is uncommonly well written and eminently logical. His legal acumen, protrudes, in almost any paragraph. More anon If the H. C. M. S. will allow the suggestion, we could wish an able committee might be appointed to report upon this important address. to favor our readers with a more ex- _ tended notice of the various letters, papers and poems read upon the occas10n. We will merely add that Dr. Hyde presided, and addresses were read accompanying various golden gifts,-a gold watch, gold-headed cane, gold spectacles and articles of choice workmanship. One of the speakers spoke of this. most happy coincidence, that this 2d day of October, was also the golden wedding day of Dr. Ray Palmer, authorof the oft-sung hymn, " My Faith looks up to Thee." We copy the following from the N .. Y. Obse1 ver of Sept. 14th . " It is now just fifty years since Dr.. Ray Palmer, to whose services the church is so much indebted, and whose hymns are sung the world over, began to preach the ·gospel. On the 2d of October next he and Mrs. Palmer, who still lives to be the model of a faithful and loving wife on whom her husband leans, will celebrate their golden wedding. Dr. Palmer's services to the church have been pre-eminent in its service of worship and song. By universal confession he stands at the head of American hymn-writers. "My Faith looks. up to Thee," is one of the three or four most loved and popular hymns in thelanguage. Though that has made him famous, yet there are a dozen other familiar to the church, such as "Jesus, these Eyes have never Seen," "Before· Thy Throne with Tearful Eyes," "Oh rr Sweetly Breathe the Lyres above,"' " And is there, Lord, a Rest ?" whicm would have given him the first rnnk,, even if none of them had been hKe "My Faith looks up to Thee,'' so pre-eminently popular and useful." It is a pleasant idea, that the goiciern weddings of two such servants of Gt.1d,. On the 2d of October-to-day-was can be associated together.

GOLDEN WEDDING. 100 THE FRIEND, OCTOBER, 1882. WHAT ARE TO BE 'TI:lE RESULTS. SALVATION ARil1Y AND ENGLISH CHURCH. It is now about fifteen months, since Mr. Hallenbeck first appeared upon the rslands and commenced his evangelistic labors, assisted by many co-laborers on Oahu and the other islands. During his last visit he has labored not only in Honolulu, but on Kauai, Maui and Hawaii. Many profess to have been converted and commenced a new spiritual life. During Mr. Hallenbeck's last address in Kaumakapili, Sabbath evening, Sept. 24th, when a large audience was assembled, we could see that he felt no little solicitude in regard to the results of all these efforts. His address to the converts was earnest and touching, most earnestly he urged them to go forward in the way which they professed to have chosen. Now comes the trying season. It is to be seen whether the work has been thorough and abiding. Let us fancy the work to be genuine, then how glorious results. The island community is lifted upon a higher plane-Sabbath services and prayer meetings are to be better attended ; family altars established ; the Sabbath better kept ; the ungodly reproved; intemperance checked ; our benevolent enterprises better sustained and our whole re !igious life elevated, ennobled, purified and made better. Results such as these will follow provided the young converts adopt Mr. Hallenbeck's advice and counsels. We must not expect such results, however, unless there is Christian activity, earnest and protracted. Our young men in business, our mechanics in their shops, our Christian prolessional men, should realize that now they have a noble work before them. We hope there will be united action from one end of the islands to the other. These hundreds and thousands of Catholic Portuguese, heathen Chinese and Polynesians, besides the hundreds of "wandering boys" from Europe and America, are not to be moulded and converted without a long and vigorous effort. The good work must not stop, but be pushed forward. On all these plantations, there ought to be found men to establish religious services, and carry on prayer meetings. Owne_rs of plantations and superintendents ought ' ,to feel their responsibiliiy. They push forward their laborers during the week, they surely ought to do something for them on the Sabbath! Either the Salvation Army has captured the English Church or the English Church has captured the Salvation Army. While the papers come with the details of Englishmen and Egyptians, at their skirmishing and battles, papers also speak of the peaceful skirmishing between the Salvation Army and the dignitaries of the English Church lead on, by the Archbishop of Canterbury, and sustained by the Queen. From copies of the War Cry, the official organ of General Booth, commanding the Salvation Army and other English papers, we are made acquainted with the fact, most unlooked for and marvellous-that the dignitaries of the Church of England, have actually affixed the seal of their recognition of the Salvation Army as a branch of the true church of Christ. It appears to be 17 years, since the Salvation Army, commenced its spiritual warfare, employing methods and means, the most sensational and attractive to arrest the sinner's attention to gospel truths. They estimate their adherents as some 200,000, and daily increasing. Recently a large theatre holding 10,000 has been purchased in London, where the army will hold its headquarters. Thousands of pounds have been contributed by Christians of all denominations, but what seems so marvellously strange is the faGt, that the English Church has taken the lead! Clergymen of the church appear upon the platform of the Salvation Army and shout "Hallelujah," "Glory to God!" "Amen!" Such fraternization is a new departure, indicating an entirely new method of spiritual warfare on the part of English churchmen. Great good will no doubt come out of this movement. It has been suggested that English churchmen, are not to be caught napping in this, the 19th century, as they were when the great ·wesleyan movement started in the 18th century. It is a well known fact that among churchmen there has long been a feeling, that they did not meet the Wesleyan rnovemen t aright, but opposed it, when they should have welcomed it. "VVe refer our readers to various articles found in, our columns relating to this marvellous movement of the Salvation Army. The following letter copied from War Cry of July 13, was addressed to Mrs. Booth and read before the Salvation Army, on their r 7th anniversary: " Our Birtltday Letter from Her Majesty the Queen to lltfrs. Booth. WINDSOR CASTLE, 30th June, 1882. MADAM. - I am commanded by the Queen to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 27th inst., and to assure you that Her Majesty learns with much satisfaction that you have, with the other members of your society, been successful in your efforts to win many thousands to the ways of temperance, virtue and religion. I regret, however, to have to inform you that Her Majesty cannot contribute to the fund you are now endeavoring to raise for the purchase of the Grecian Theatre. I have the honor to be, Madam, your obedient servant, HENRY F. PONSONBY. FREE LIQUOR.-To-day, Oct. 2, the new License Law goes into operation. No longer can the Hawaiian complain that he stands not upon an equality with the foreigner. We trust that every Hawaiian from one end of the group to the other will evince his freedom and manhood by total abstinence from all intoxicating liquors. Last evening, the Rev. Mr. Cruzan preached a most timely discourse upon this subject, urging all the friends of Temperance, to accept the situation, obey the law and see that the saloon keepers and wholesale dealers did the same. One feature of the law is, that pure, not adulterated liquors shall be offered for sale, and if any dealer even offers an adulterated article, he is liable to a heavy fine. Now Temperance man commence there! After testing the liquors sold, see to it, that the other spe..:ifications of the License law are strictly kept. Mr. Cruzan's indictment against rum-sellers was fearfully terrific and withering. This evening the Temperance Society holds a meeting, and we hope they will most judiciously, resolutely, boldly and immediately enter upon a crusade to enforce this new License law. If they are successful, then prohibition is surely to follow. Now friends of Temperance, let us have a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull all together. · The Germans at Lihue , are putting up a Church and school house; the children are to be educated by a German master in their own language. There is a German pastor there, who preaches every week in German. The people are thoroughly contented and are doing well. One man has $300 in the bank, another has $100, and nearly all have smaller sums on deposit.-Hawaiian Gazette. -THE FRIEND, OCTOBER, 1882. PORT OF HONOLULU, H. I. ARRIVALS. City of Sydney, P.

STATEMENT of Captain Purcell, of the Brit. ship Respigadera, concerning the Japanese junk spoken by him on the I 8th of August, 1882, in latitude 42 deg. 30 min. north, longitude 162 west. There was a slight easterly current and light westerly wind. The junk had capacity of about 50 tons; she had a single mast and a bit of a jib-boom; she lay low in the water, was covered with barnacles about three inches in length, and had on small sail set and three small square flags (bambo 0 mats) flying from the forestay. Upon the Respigedera approaching to within one mile, the sail of the junk was lowered, and three seamen put off in a small boat for the ship. They were allowed to come on board, but they couldn't speak a word of English; they indicated, however, by signs, that they wanted water. Their vessels, consisting of three large wooden tubs, which they had brought with them in their small boat, were filled with water, the capacity of the tubs being about ten gallons each. They were also furnished with one sack of rice, one sack of salt beef (about 90 pounds), one sack of biscuit (about 120 pounds), and eight pumpkins, which last seemed to give them especially great satisfaction. As they seemed to have lost their reckoning, I gave them the course to the Hawaiian Islands, and upon their returning to the junk, they set sail and bore off south toward the Islands.

I., recently a device for exploding torpedoes under an enemy's vessel, designed by Lieut. J. C. McClean, of the American navy, who was a delegate to the recent Electrical Congress at Paris. was successfully experimented with this morning in the presence of a naval board. A launch was sent out by aid of electricity, no one beii,g on board, and was made, by the use of one electric wire, to do eight different things, among which were to start, stop, back, go to port and to starboard, and to drop and fire mines and countermines, which were rigged at the ends ·of spars placed on each side of the launch's bow. Lieut-col. Bradford, who was at a keyboard on shore, had perfect control of the launch by the aid of one wire. The electrical part of the experiment was in charge of lieut-col.

(For the benefit ?f _our foreign re_aders we quote the following descn1;mon of the laymg of the cor• ner stone of our Association building, from the Saturday Press.) On Thursday Sept 28, a large company of people consisting of the foreign, native and chinese divisions Y. :M. C. A., and a host of friends, gathered al the corner of Hotel and Alakea streers to witness the laying of the corner stone of the new Y . M. C. A. building. Sails were stretched over the building and seats were provided for those present. At 3 P. M., exercises were opened with music by a select choir, after which prayer was offered by Rev. J. A. Cruzan. Rev. C. ~f. Hyde next read the following detailed description of the building: The Jot on which the building stands is in shape an irregular quadrilateral. It extends 116 feet on Hotel street, 100½ feet on Alakea street, forming an acute angle at the intersection of these streets. It has a depth of 60 feet measuring from the Hotel street front to the rear boundary line. The building, now in process of erection for the Honolulu Y. )I. C. A. is to be of two stories wholly devoted to the work of the Association. It does not occupy the whole of the land purchased. A frontage of 36 feet on Hotel street is reserved for future improv<:'ments in building, either for the use of the Association or for rental as a means of annual income. The present buildina is of irregular shape, conforming to the outlir~s of the lot, 53 feet in depth from the Hotel street front, and on the Alakea street side nmning outward with a length of 50 feet rear and 67 feet front, so as to make the Hotel street front 17 feet longer than the rear. The building is to be of brick, the street fronts of pressed brick; the cornices also will he brick, artistically arranged for the most pleasing effect. All the windows are arched. The Alakea street side is ur,broken by any projection, except the belt course, which divides the upper and lower stories. For convenience, as well as for architectural effect, the corner is cut off, giYing an angular frontage at the junction of Alakea and Hotel streets, a flat or fifth side, 8 feet wide. The Hotel street front has a central projection, 22 feet wicle, 1 ½ feet deep. This has at the roof a triangular pediment on which will stand out in raised letters the initials Y. }I. C. A., and the elate 1882. In front of this projection stands the porch, 20 feet deep. It has a balcony supported by four Corinthian columns, and two antae. The inler-columniations, or spaces between the pedestals of the columns, are filled with neat balustrades. The balcony is also enclosed with a balustrade, having paneled and moulded pedestals, sur. mounted by ornamental urns. French mullioned windows give access to this balcony from the upper story. A flight of four steps leads up from Hotel street on to the porch in this central projection. The whole building is to be set back IO feet from the street lines, giving opportunity for any further widening of Alakea streets by the municipal authorities of after years. On entering the hall-way, which is 9 feet wide ~nd 30 feet long, a door to the right gives access to the gymnasium, which is a room 2 5 by 47 feet. A platform 5 feet wide along the hall side, gives room for spectators. A flight of stairs at each encl of this platform leads clown to the floor of the gymnasium which is about four feet below the natural level of the lot, or 8 feet below the level of the hall floor, giving to the room a height of 20 feet. At the rear encl of the spectators' platform is a door and passage way to the yard in the rear of the building. This door gives access also to the private staircase leading to the Assembly Room above. At the left side of the front entrance is the main stairway to the upper story. Adjoining this stairway is an open recess, designed for the Central Office, and affording complete supervision of the entrances to the various rooms. Next beyond the Office, in the hall, is the entrance to the Parlor. This is a room 18 feet by 23, communicating as also does the Office with the Committee Room, which occupies the angle of the building at the corner of Hotel and Alakea streets. Beyond the Parlor, is the Reading Room, 18 by 27, separated by sliding doors. There is a door at the encl of the hall, opening into the Reading Room, which has also a door opening out to the yard in the rear of the building. Here are to be found the various needful out-houses, kitchen, bath-rooms, and ultimately it is hoped, a suite of lodging rooms for temporary occupancy. The building is well lighted and ventilated. The lower story is 12 feet high; the upper 17 feet. The whole upper floor is to be occupied by the ' Assembly Room. The main entrance to this is on Hotel street, by stairs leading up from the left of the front door. The private staircase is in the corner of the building diagonally opposite. The platform, 8 feet by 16, and two feet high is on the side over the gymnasium, the Ewa side of the building. The clear space for the audience will be equal to a room, 48 by 52, and will comfortably seat about 300 persons. The general arrangement of the rooms was planned by Mr. C. M.

It is fourteen feet long by eleven feet broad, the material of navy blue bunting. In the centre is the American coat-of-arms, the eagle holding in its mouth the pennant on which is. inscribed "E Pluribus Union," and perched on a shield, grappling in one claw a bunch of arrows and in the other a bunch of oak leaves. Above ,the coat-of-arms arranged in a semi-circle, are thirteen white stars, representing the thirteen original States. One will be placed on board of each United States vessel, and whenever the President goes on board one of those vessels the President's flag will fly from the main-mast.
