interest ia the Luther celebration sends the
Press the following: "Rccent researches into
the family Of Martin Luther have brought to
light the fact that a lincal desccndent Of the

Portuguese had been sneak thicying in and
around town for some time, ~ to one day last
week. Then she was caught, brought up with
a round turn and will go the reef for one year
to reflect and is hoped repent. This
story now ten days old is recalled because

1t is to be hoped that there will be a large
attendance a, the entertainment at V. NJ. c. A.
Hall next Tuesday night. There has been a
great deal given the institution by wealthy
men. The class which it benefits most ought
to feel their obligations more keenly than they
apparently do. Surely every member Of the
book keeping class and the class in Hawaiian
ought to attend ; so ought all the visitors at

temporary criticism in its opening editorial is
manly, courteous and unassailablc. 1t has
perfect right to play its own part-just as
those who believe so strongly in extreme action
have clear right to their belief. No fair
minded men have any right to dispute the

Consul Mckinley will be in clover when he
moves into his new quarters in the Campbell
Block. He will occupy two rooms on Fort
street and two on Merchant. The corner
room will be the main office and the adjoining
room on Fort street will be used as a private
office and study. The room adjoining the
main office will be used as a shipping Office
and sailors sitting room and beyond that will
be store room. All the new offices will be
furnished simply, comfortably and yet in keep

Adjoining the rooms OF the Consulate, on the
Merchant-strect side, will be the law office of
Honorable Paul Neumann, next / o which will

Mr. Alfred Barrett, one of the luckless
Ninito voyagers returned to Honolulu about
two weeks ago. He left Vlodivostock June
9th, in company with J. G. Teller, Walter
BiSby, John Pcavy, J.. NJ. Arnold and Will
liam Warwick. Before they left, the provisions
in the ship were sold for about $42o-$3o
each to passengers and crew. The captain
refused to take the ship any further. War
wick had an alteration with him before they
left, and struck the captain several blows in
the face The unfortunntes visited several
Japanese and Chinese ports, eventually, with
the exception of Bixby and Peavy, working
their passages to the United States. Mr. Bar
rett does not know whether the captain and
crew have disposed of the ship or not.
Manager Fassett Of the Hawaiian Hotel has
been IN his element since the arrival Of the
Alameda. That good ship brought down
several lady yistors-among them Mrs. Red
ding, widow of the late b. b. Redding and
Mrs. J.. w. Brown. Both ladies are well
known in San Francisco society. Mrs. Red
ding is accompanied by her son, Mr.. G.. II.
Redding; and Mrs Brown-who has an adj

is chaparon for several of San Franciscos
preltiest and most popular young ladies' Mrs.
and Miss Staples are still at the hotel and
most of the party will remain through Decem-
ber--some of the younger members "doing"
flilo and the volcano, al interim. The Press
regrets that the percnnial-and generally in
satiable-duty OF finding fault with lawful
maladministration has delayed this respectful
recognition Of some of the pleasantest visitors
who ever visited the islands,
