Annual Report of the Honolulu Library and
Reading Room Association.

To The Honolulu Library aud Reading Room Asso-
citation -
The Report of the undersigned, pursuant to the
requirements of this Association, is herewith re.
specially submitted with reference TO the condi-
and prospects of the Association at the close
of the year ending September Goth, current.
The condition of the Library books and papers
is creditable to those who have been in charge of
them. The rooms have been made as convenient
practicable for readers and visitors, but 1t is
confidently hoped that another year will sue
cessful effort TO obtain brick building with com
modious for all the purposes of the Associa-
ton. 1t is believed that there are men in this
community who will not allow the town to remain
much longer without such place of resort. 1t is
the opinion of the undersigned that no more eff
fectual use of money can be made for maintaining
good order and correct social tone than in erect
ing suitible building for Public Library and
Reading Room.
This Association and its objects do not conflict
with the work and objects of any other, religious
or educational, society, although it proceeds by
other methods There Is no better society than can
be found in books Give man, be he old or young,
agreeable reading in pleasant room, with plenty
of good writing material if he cares to write, and
congeuial society for conversation, and that man
is sure to be more value to society well as to
himself, as direct consequence.
The accompanying statement, kindly prepared
by DR.. Rodgers, shows the kind of reading pre-
ferred by those who have taken books from the
Library; of course the reading done in the rooms
is not shown. ALFRED ). HARTwELL,
Honolulu, Oct. q, 1881. President.
The following statistics of the circulating de-
partment Of the library for the year ending Oct l.
1881, have been compiled by the librarian under
my directions:
Total number of members drawing books. 176
Total number of volumes drawn. .........2,5l3

The above figures do not fairly represent the
quality of reading sought by members, inasmuch
as large proportion of those who use the library
for purposes other than mere amusement, make
use of our reference library. These books stand
where people can help themselves, and their use
does not appear in our statistics.

Portland Yacht Club.

The regular monthly meeting of the Port
land Yacht Club was held at their club room
last evening. Since the last meeting many
changes have been made in the rooms greatly
to their advantage. The easterly corner of the
large room towards the entrance of the harbor
has been taken out and three large window S
put in, forming section of an octagon. The
windows have been filled with large panes of
glass. The rooms have been repainted and
new chandeliers put in, and the wash basins
and chart table have been removed to a small
rooD, while a large room has been added to
the club quarters for storage purposes. The
new carpets have not yet been put down, but
in the course of a week the work will probably
be all done, and the rooms put in their summer
condition. Additional room is made on the
balconies by the cutting of the corner of the
room.
The new club book is in press and will be is
sued shortly. The club has gained both in
members and in the number of yachts since

The Leeman Case.

The hearing of the Leeman heirs vs. Sarah
Ann Leeman, Administrative, which, by as
signment, came up in the Probate Court in
Boston Tuesday for special hearing before
Judge McKin, terminated in the decision of
the Court granting the petition of the admin
istratrix and ordering partial distribution of
the intestate estate. Gen. Butler, James W
Fox and e. G. Carrigan appeared for the ad-
ministratrix, and Judge Gilbert and A. P
Leeman, of Bath, the contesting heir, for the
opposition. The hearing, which opened at 10
o'clock, and engaged the Courts attention
during the day, developed q most interesting
romance without precedent in the books. The
witnesses called by the counsel for the petit
TONER were Rev. George W. Blagden, of the
Old South church, Boston, and Capt. Lemuel
FL. Soule, of Bath, Me. DIR. Blagden testified
that he married Edwin Leeman to one Sarah
Ann Young, the Administrative, Nov T. 1883,
which, with other testimony, was conclusive
as to the marriage. The evidence of divorce
was introduced. Capt. Soule, who represents
the surviving brother of the deceased, testified
in support OF the administrator and favoring
the distribution asked. The Court, in review
ing the evidence, held that, although the coun-
sci for the contesting heir argued as to the
effect OF double marriag Elm criminal law, there
Ann Leeman in this Court; and that as she
was lawfully married to Edwin Leeman and
was never divorced, the second marriage was
void and hence could not affect her local rights
in the estate of her lawful husband, under the
laws of the Commonwealth.

example If conscientious and untiring devo-
ton to his ,>atients interests, of unsullied in
tegrity, of ma ~kei industry and many merito-

his career of great service to his fellow men,
and his death deeply regretted by all with
whom he was associated.
Resoiced, That we respectfully offer to his
family our heartfelt sympathy in the affection

tions be sent to the family of Dr. Hersom and
TO the daily press for publication.

Androscoggin Railroad.

DR. Dyer of Pennington is in town manag-
iac case in the Circuit Court, of Eben F.
PHI 'sbury of Boston VS.. the village corporation
of Harrington. The DR.. is acting as agent for
Mr.. Pillebury. The case is this In 1870 the
corporation of Harrington issued $4,000 in
bonds to build the Androseoggln railroad
across the river to the village. In 1872 several
citizens of Harrington prayed for an injnnc-
tiou against paying The coupons on the bonds.
1t was granted by Judge Walton. An appeal
was then made to the full bench, and after six
years the injunction was made perpetual by
Joint vote of that bench. The coupons have
remained unpaid since that time Mr.. fiils,
bury purchased $1,000 of these unpaid cou-
pons. He now brings action before the CIR
cult court to recover on the same.

The May Party with Ancient Customs.
City Hall presented one of the prettiest
spectacles last evening it has been the good
fortune of our citizens to witness. This is
saying good deal for Portland City Hall has
been the scene of many brilliant spectacles.
Around the room were booths where useful
and ornamental articles were sold, surmounted
by signs in quaint old English. Precisely at s
p. m. the grand procession entered the hall
headed by Winter and attendants. Then
came Maid Marion and her Court, the Morris
dancers-Tom Piper, Hobby Horse and Harle-
quin-the Milk-Maids, and large number of
other characters of the time, all appropriately
and elegantly costumed. The characters were
all well taken and the Hobby-Horse and
Harlequin especially made lots of fun. The
Kinder-Symphonies were not only novel but
most delightful feature and the orchestra
showed careful drilling by the leader, Mr..
Walter Goold. Punch and Judy, Jack in the
Green, Tiddy-Diddy DOH and other features
delighted the spectators and the evening
amusements ended with dancing.
The Fair Chance, the fair newspaper, was
fully worthy of its enterprising publishers and
contributors, the latter including some of our
brightest ladies. 1t was very neatly printed
andmet with a ready sale.

OUR SCHOOLS.
Mayor Senter's Opinion OF the High
School.

At the regular monthly of the City
Council held Monday evening Mayor Senter
prefaced the presentation of the appropriation
bill with some remarks of which those relating
to our schools will be read with interest. They
were necessarily omitted Tuesday from the
report owing to the press of matter and late
ness of the hour. The Mayor said:
The time is not far distant when our citizens
will be dissatisfied with the large appropria-
ion for our schools. There is no objection to
school expenses within proper limits. No one
objects to the payment of all needfnl sums for
education of orr children. The only question
is how far shall the grade of our high school
be raised, and If it is proper for the public to
pay for the higher education of small num-
Der of scholars. The idea of supporting a
school of the grade of Bowdoin college would
not be entertained, but we have raised the
grade of the high school until our scholars
graduate at an average of 49, years of age,
while the age Of entry at Bowdoin college IS
only III years, making our high school lap on
to Bowdon college.
Less than one scholar in 100 of our school
children graduates from the high school and
the expense of the high school is over $4,000
per year. Some years ago scholars graduated
from the high school at Is or 16 years of age,
and many of our intelligent citizens are of
the opinion that beyond this age the public
should not be taxed for education.

The Cattle Disease Scare.

The Montreal Herald says The Liverpoo
Daily Chronicle, the journal responsible for
the statement that foot and mouth disease in
fected some of the cattle landed from the
Lake Manitoba" which arrived at Liverpool,
from Portland, on the 26th ult, contradicts
the report in its issue of the Goth, and the con-
tradiction has been very properly cabled to
this country. The matter was of supreme i'm
portance to steamship lines and Canadian cat
tie shippers. The Daily Chronicle would do
we'll in future to be more careful of its state
ments in respect to cattle disease. The 'iLake
Manitoba" was loaded with Canadian cattle at
Portland because regulation of the Ottawa
Government prevented her taking them on at
Halifax, not having undergone sixty days
quarantine after landing cargo of American
cattle among which foot and mouth disease
had broken out on passage. The fact that
the Canadian cattle taken over by the Lake
Manitoba" were landed safely is at least an
evidence that the regulations of the Dominion
Government are more stringent than there is
any neceSSity of
