A CONTRADICTION.

A speech delivered before the
subcommittee on Ways and Means,
at Washington, in opposition to the
reciprocity treaty, contains the fol-
lowing statement :-"Before this re-
ciprocity treaty was granted it was a
novelty, and almost wonder, to
find Hawaiian begging. To-day
you can count them on the Streets"
1t was indeed novelty to find a
Hawaiian begging before the treaty,
and has been and continues to be as
great a novelty since the treaty. To
a man at Washington it may be an
easy thing to count in imagination
scores of beggars in the streets of
Honolulu, but to those who walk
those streets daily beggars are in
visible. Because why? Because
they are not there.

A PLEASANT PARTY.

The japanese Consulate was the
scene last night of one of the most
pleasant-if not the most so-and
agreeable gatherings ever held in
this city. Invitations had been
issued by Mr.. and Mrs. Taro Ando,
the japanese Commissioner and
wife, to a limited number of our
best people, who began to fill the
hospitable mansion at about 8
O'Clock. The driveway and house
were illuminated in very hand
some manner, with profusion of
japanese lanterns; the interior of
the house was tastefully decorated
with evergreens, flowers, etc. ; the
hostess and host were ably assisted
by the Misses Austin, who kindly
introduced the guests. After an
hour or two of social chat, refresh
ments were bountifully served, and
about II p. NJ. the guests departed,

HOME INDUSTRIES.

On Wednesday last party of ex-
perts visited the boat shop of Mr..
J. A. Dover, and were present at
the trial of his patent machine for
shaping and bending timbers for
boats and small vessels. There
were present Captain Bradley, of
the Royal Navy, Captain Mist, r..
NJ, Colonel iona. Austin, and Mr..
+. p. Adams, who has bought an
interest in the patent and will intro
duce it into the United States. This
machine has already been fully
described in the papers and it is not,
therefore, necessary to repeat the
detailed description now. Suffice it
to say that the principal points are,
a flexible steel bar which, by means
of handscrew gear, is brought into
the desired shape, and the timber,
after being steamed as usual, is
forced against it by clamps, and the
proper shape is obtained in the
shortest possible space of time.
On this occasion it was done and
ready for the keel in five minutes
time by the watch. The timber is
kept in shape by cross piece nailed
to it, is then released from the
machine and is ready at once to be
placed in its proper position in the
boat Or yacht. The timber being
shaped in one continuous piece,
from gunwale to gunwale, gives the
boat a strength and elasticity which
cannot be acquired under the old
method. The largest piece which
thus far has been shaped by the
"Dower" machine is 3X3, on a
small machine. Many boats are in
successful use among these Islands,
made upon this principle, and are
well liked. The two following let
tiers give the opinion of practical,
unprejudiced men as to the merits
of this patent:--
Pacific Navigation Company,
Nt Honolulu, April s. 1856.
Il. p. ADAMS, ESQ,
Agent for bowers Patent Bending
Machine.
Dear Sir In answer TO your request
concerning the merit of the above
machine, / would say, that our COM
pany have used Il number of Mr.. Dower's
boats built with this machine and find
Them superior in every respect to those
built in the ordinary way, especially on
account of their lightness, strength,
elasticity and durability. The boats
used on these islands are subject to the
Nost unusual strain and usage ut our

rough landings, and we find that the
Dover patent built boats are superior
to all Others used on this coast and re-
quire the least repairing.
Yours truly.
A. +. Cooke,
President and Manager of Pacific
Navigation Co.
Honolulu, April s, 1886.
j. a. DOVER, ESQ.,,
Honolulu.
Dear SV:-Let me say in answer to
your enquiry, that the Pepeekeo planta-
ton has two of your surf Boats in use
for loading sugars at our landing. These
boats were built under your patent
process for bending and shaping tim
b, rs, end am pleased to say that they
are giving perfect satisfaction. They
are lighter than the ordinary surf boat,
and therefore the more easily handled.
They are also. from the formation of
the timbers in one continuous piece
without break at the floor, much more
elastic than other boats, and, rs well rs
| can judge thus far, are more durable.
Yours truly,
(Signed) G.. AFoNG,
Owner of Pepcekeo Plantation.
Capt. Mist has purchased a half
interest in this patent for Great
Britain, and active measures will
shortly be taken for its introduction
there. II April 9th.

RELIEF.

The relief committee is now dis
pensing about 400 meals per day, at
the immigration depot, to sufferers
by the late fire. OF this number,
some $40 are to Chinese, and the
remainder to natives. About so
persons are lodging at the depot.
Mr.. Austin is taking particular
pains to prevent imposition, and no
relief is given except to those giving
references. Mr.. f. w. Damon is
rendering valuable assistance, his

81 suppose people in Honolulu
are anxious to hear news about the
Volcano, and as l just came down
from there last night l can give you
the very latest information regard
ing that matter. l was there last
Thursday, and from the bluffs l
observed quite heavy smoke pour
ing out from the crater of Hale
maumau. This smoke had COM
menced four days previous and had
been steadily increasing all the
time, so the people up there ex-
pected the fire to break out every
minute. They have been disap-
pointed so far, but there is no doubt
that in few days the fire too will
he visible.
81 took another trip yesterday
and went right down to the crater,
hoping to see some sparks of fire at
the bottom: but the old Madame
was not ready yet with her toilet
! suppose she don't like to show
herself till she can dazzle her
wooers in her former splendor.
The smoke was much denser and
heavier now than last time I was
up it rolled out like clouds from
big chimney. Sometimes it was
very calm and only faint blue
smoke was to be seen, but that only
lasted q few seconds, and then
again with many doubled force it
was putting away, filling up the
whole crater, so we could hardly see
anything around us but smoke. 1t
must be very active underneath,
and you can plainly see that power
full forces are working, and working
to break through. Right on the
edge of the hole where the smoke
comes up it has formed sulphur
bed, which has been observed only
the last two days, and little dis
lance towards west there is whole
system of steam, forming long
line; this is above the crater itself,
commencing close to the edge. The
new lake is quiet, and all the power
seems to be concentrated in the
crater of Halemaumau."
A letter from Mr.. j. III. Maby, of
Wilder S. S. Co.'s Volcano House,
dated April II, says the side from
which steam has been lately rising,
now emits dense volumes of dark
blue smoke. The whole chasm
around Halemaumau has become
fearfully hot within the last few
days. The place the smoke princi-
pally issues from seems to be cone
and is forming sulphur very fast.
The natives says the present indica-
tions are very favorable for sudden
and mighty fire, and expect to see
Kilauea in its former activity before
long. In speaking of the Volcano,
Mr.. Geo. Beckley says that the
smoke ascending from the crater
can be plainly seen at Hilo.-[ April

The BETHEL UNION CHURCH.

The first meeting of the Bethel
Union Congregation, after the fire,
was held last evening in the hall of
the Y. M. c. A. building. After
the usual Wednesday evening SER
vices, the meeting was called to
business, Rev. f. G. Oggel, the
pastor, presiding. An offer, from
Mr.. Henry Warehouse, of the ex-
elusive use of the Lyceum, and
another, from the officers of the Y.
M. G. A., of the use of their hall,
at any time when not needed for the
regular meetings of the association,
were read; and, on motion, it was
decided to accept the offer of the
Lyceum.- April 22nd.

|, o. O. r. ANNIVERSARY.

Excelsior Lodge, No. l, l. o.
o. F., last evening celebrated the
9th anniversary of the Order IN
America, by very pleasant and
well-managed entertainment in its
rooms on Fort street. There was
large company of Odd Fellows, in
Guiding visitors from Pioneer Lodge
and abroad, together with numer-
Gus representation of lady relatives
and friends, presenting an agree
able variation from the usual oddity
of the mystic chambers. After
brief spell of social intercourse,
Mr.. w. E. Foster, Deputy Grand
Sire, tapped with the gavel for
quiet and gave out the opening ode,
which was happily sung with instru-
mental accompaniment. Then Mr..
Foster read the proclamation Of the
anniversary by the Grand Sire, and
proceeded to deliver an opening
address. Beginning with the iusti-
tuition of the first Lodge and Grand
Lodge, under charter from the Man
chester Unity, at Baltimore sixty
seven years ago, he traced the
rapid growth and development Of
the society until now, when its
membership is $4,000, revenue
$4,000, 900, and relief expenditure
$3,OOO,OO0 annually. The Order
had spread into Canada, Australia,
Switzerland, the Hawaiian Islands,
and other countries. 1t was opposed
because il was secret society, but
all its laws and objects were open to
the public. The mission of Odd
fellowship was to "Visit the sick,
bury the dead, educate the orphan"
Miss Hopper here gave a piano
solo, winning hearty applause.
Rev. A. Macintosh was then
called upon as the ''orator of the
evening"" discharging the function
in very happy manner, interspers-
ing lucid exposition of the prin-
ciples of the Order with humorous
references to local brethren and the
peculiarities of Oddfellowship. He
mentioned the institution of the
"Degree of Rebecca" in 1851, to
show that the Order was not so odd
as its name implied, as under that
measure ladies were admitted TO-

THE MARAROA--.ARRIvAL AND DEPAR-
1uRE,


The arrival and departure of the
Mararoa, Saturday evening, was an
occasion of more than usual interest.
Among the arrivals were the long
looked for Campobello troupe, to-
gether with several persons of note,
from the leading cities of the United
States and Canada. The steamer
had large list of passengers in
transit. During the nine hours she
lay at the dock, the passengers made
the best of their short visit, taking
in the city, of which there is happily
enough left in good presentable con-
dition to occupy the attention of
travellers for more than one after
noon. Among those who spent the
evening on shore, was DR.. Kirkwood,
Of Pictou, N. S., Canada. The doc
tor and several of the residents of
the city were mutually astonished
and gratifed with the opportunity of
renewing home acquaintance, on the
coral strand, six thousand miles
away from the "Land of the May
flower" Mr.. II. G.. Parker, Pro-
fessor of English Literature, Trinity
College, Toronto, and correspondent
of the Toronto Mail, stops off for
next steamer. Mr.. Parker will do
the city in the meantime, and Homo
lulu may expect tirst-class write
up in the "queen city, of the Cana
dians. Conspicuous among the
departures from our shores was
Capt. w. f. O'Connor, formerly of
the Queens Own. A detachment
of that body which has been raised
by Capt. O'Connor's energetic in
structions to very high point of
efficiency, marched down to the
wharf, drew up in line in front of
the captain, when Lieutenants
Kaneakua and Keola stepped for
ward and presented their former
commander and instructor with "a
splendid cane of cocoanut wood, with
gold mounting, inscribed, "Pre-
scented to Capt. w. F. O'Connor, by
the Queens Own Volunteers, II. l.,
April, 1885," Capt. O'Connor &C
knowledged the presentation in
suitable terms, and the company,
giving him three rousing cheers,
withdrew. A large number Of peo-
pie were at the dock to give their
alohas to departing friends. Mr..
VIM. Noble, whose five weeks visit
made large addition to his list of
friends, received many good wishes
for pleasant voyage, successful
Australian campaign and a safe re-
turn. The genial T. E. Wall, of Yose-
mite skating rink fame, received
many hearty handshakings from his
numerous friends. At about half
past twelve, the whistle of the
steamer gave the first screech, warn
ing visitors that it was time to get
away home. The second and third
screeches followed in due course,
and the Mararoa moved off from the
dock, carrying with her many pleas
ant memories of Hawaii, and leaving
behind equally pleasant recollections
in the minds of citizens of many
hours ofagreeable social intercourse,
with those who had come and gone.

Daily Tombstone epitaph., 1886-02-06

Owing to the poor quality of the tele' graphic report furnished by the associ. ated press, from San Francisco, the EpITAPH has made arrangements to give its readers full eastern press report, in addition to the Arizona and Pacific coast specials, which we are now publishing. Our subscribers will doubtless appreciate the effort we are making to supply them with the latest and fullest news, regard less of expense. "Upward and onward" is the motto of this paper.
Daily Tombstone epitaph., 1886-02-06

The EpITAPH has devoted large amount of space lately to the discussion of the school tax question, this being 2 very important matter to our citizens. We shall be pleased to continue to print any communications on this subject, which offer arguments or facts of interest, but cannot afford space for articles which consist merely of abuse. To'call a man names is no argument-on the contrary, it is generally very good proof that the writer has no argument to offer
