Ed. P. G.. ADvERTIsER-Sir Not wish
ing to intrude, yet l make myself so
bold as to request space in your paper
for few remarks and only few. In
the beginning let me pass a word of
praise to my countryman, Ho Fong, for
the great trouble he has taken person
ally in writing information of all that
concerns our race in these Islands. We
must all be told the truth sometimes,
and although Mr.. Ho Fong has not, I
imagine, let forth all that might be said
or written, yet l hear most foreigners
agree with his writings, the little word I
wish to add is to fix the attention of al
to one fact omitted, that is, that our
people pay very high rents and lease
deal of property. These rents keep those
who lease to them we'll in goods and
money all the year, but if we were not
here to lease where would these people
get the money from to live on? There
would be much less money about and
less business, and as to the taxes paid
under these leases why they would be
wanting! and this is, [ say, because no
other foreigners would lease and pay
such rents and build and spend money
as we do, and here it is in order that |
should direct the attention of those who
don't know to the very true fact that
many thousands of acres of marshy and
ungovernable land have been brought
1,Y,Ior 1irooK co. oil
purposes by my countrymen. In fact,
much land has been reclaimed by them,
and rendered productive and become
liable to and does pay large proportion
of taxes. These lands, I am sure would
never have been reclaimed by any but
by our countrymen, who have been will
ing to risk the proceeds of many years of
toll in this business, when no one else
would, and it is we'll known that our
market gardens supply all with cheap
and good vegetables, where they are
grown on land leased from native owners
and many white foreigners. But our
countrymen do not claim any exclusive
ness for anything. The land and bust
ness in it is open to all in free country,
which we have always thought this one
was. In conclusion | may add that we
pay our own taxes as well as haoles; our
sick hospital dues, have no beggers Gas
some other foreigners have); subscribe
our own charities, and others too, and
have been taught to wish all good luck
and prosperity. LAU CHoNG.

A match game of football was played
on Saturday morning on the Makiki
recreation grounds between teams from
Oahu College and the Kamehameha
School. There was very large attend
ance to witness the game and much in
terest was manifested. Among those
present were Hon. Chas. r. Bishop,
President of the Board of Education,
Rev. w. B. Oleson, President of the
Kamehameha School, Rev. w. G. Mer-
rift, President of Oahu College, Mr.. AT.
Atkinson, Inspector General of Schools,
and the pupils of st. Louis College with
their teachers. The game started shortly
after 10 o'clock, and after playing eighty
minutes the Oahu College boys were de-
clared the victors by goal to nothing.
The Kamehameha boys played very well
but were not so feet of foot as their OPP

EDWARD HOFFMAN,.
The Venerable Doctor passes away TO
His last rest.

Early Sunday morning, DIR. Edward
Hoffman, breathed his last at his resi-
dence Wylie street, Nuuanu Valley, at
the ripe age of rs years. The deceased
had been gradually failing for some time
past. The funeral took place yesterday
afternoon at four o'clock and was largely
attended.
DR.. Hoffman, was born at Oldenburg,
Germany, October 21st, 1913. He came
to these islands as physician on Ger
man whaleship in 1847. He at once
located in Honolulu and with a DIR.
Wood who is still living in Boston,
kept a drug store ont he site now oc-
Guided by Bishops bank. Later on
the late Captain Makee built the build
ing now occupied by Messrs. A. J. Cart
wright and G. Bolte, Kaahumanu street,
and fitted up the corner store especially
for DIR. Hoffman,. While this was
building the doctor occupied a store
which stood on the site on which the
Campbell block is built. DIR. Hoffman,
sold to Bishop & Co., the site on which
they have erected their bank, but re-
tanned the store now occupied by Mr.. G.
0. Berger. In this building the deceased
carried on the drug business finally re-
firing abont 1881. At one time he was
physician at the Lunatic Asylum and
Oahu prison. For twenty-five years or
more the late doctor was at the head of
social affairs in Honolulu. He was a
fine musician and an excellent Judge of
a good piano. From 1849 up to the
seventies their was scarcely a social
event took place in which he was not
the prime mover He was Consul for
Austro-Hungary for great many years.
The deceased was a Knight Commander
OF the Royal Order of Kamehameha l.
He leaves widow to mourn his loss.

The Electric Light.

The city of Honolulu is now lighted
with the electric light and it is a grand
success. It was tried on Friday night for
the first time and again. for a little while
on Saturday. There are two circuits,
one fifteen miles in length and the other
six. The dynamos are run by water
power, and the pressure at the water
wheel is 40 pounds to the square inch.
The lamps distributed throughout the
town are each 1000 candle power. 1t will
not be long before private houses are
lighted by the electric light.

A NEW DANGER.

1t is somewhat significant that on the
first night during which the electric
light spread its rays over the city as
whole, an accident was reported as hav-
ing occurred through the wires coming
in contact with a tree. The incident
itself is of no special Importance, as the
damage, if any, is of very trifing
nature and need not therefore be dwelt
upon. But its significance lies in it's sug
gestiveness. For aught we know to the
contrary it may be the precursor of more
serious casualties. Whilst it is to be
hoped that this gloomy anticipation may
not be realized, it can scarcely be con-
tended that it is entirely groundless,
when we read what has actually oc-
CURED in other quarters. So long as the
necessary insulations remain intact, all
will be we'll, but if these should become
worn at any point without being immed-
lately noticed, the consequences are liable
to be serious. An example oflthis latest
danger happened recently in Boston. By
one of those mischances, which might
was crossed with an electric wire, the re-
suit being destructive fires in the offices
of three of the telephone company's sub
scribers. Another instance is reported
from New York. where broken tele-
phone wire, coming in contact with
one charged with electricity for
lighting purposes, became itself
a conducting medium, and was
wound in it's fall round the fore-quar-
tiers of passing horse, resulting in the
animals death. It is also said that the
driver, in his ignorant endeavors to re-
lease it, was barely prevented from
handling the fatal wire. These are two
samples of those which have occurred
from time to time, and in some places
we understand that legislation has in
consequence rendered it compulsory to
run the wire underground. We make no
contention that this is necessary here,
but have submitted few facts gathered
from what we believe to be reliable
sources.

Sunday School Exhibition.

A quarterly Sunday School exhibition
was given at Kawaiahao Church yester-
day m orning under the direction of the
Hon. w. N. Castle, superintendent of
the Sunday School, assisted by the Hon.
D. L. Naone. The church was crowded,
the Sunday school children alone num-
boring over 200 boys and girls. The ex-
ercises were well conducted and scholars
and teachers are to be highly COM
mended for the efficient manner in
which they prepared their parts.
The members of the Royal Hawaiian
Band, besides supplying instrumental
music, sang several we'll chosen hymns,
and their singing was admired. Four
little girls whose ages range from seven
to five, sang and recited Psalms in both
the Hawaiian and English languages,
and the very thorough manner in which
they did their part won the admiration
of all present. The Kawaiahao and Ka-
mehameha schools also took part in the
exercises. Among those present were
III. r. II. Princess Liliuokalani, Hon. G.
r. Bishop, Rev. J. Adams and Mrs.
Adams, and many others. The latter
gentleman made neat addre 3.
