DEATH OF REV. A. 0. FORBES.

After the regular monthly meet
ing of the Hawaiian Board had be-
gun Tuesday evening, word came
that the steamer had brought news
of the sudden death Of Rev. A. O..
Forbes, the Corresponding Secre-
tary. He had been in failing health
for some time, and had left Homo
lulu, May 18th, at the invitation of
friends, to try what the air of Colo
RADIO Springs would do for him. He
had reached the place, and had
written home how much better he
already felt: But disease had made
greater ravages than was surmised
by himself, or his friends. Com
planning of headache he retired early
to rest on Saturday, but shortly
after midnight he breathed his last,
his death occurring in the early
morning of Sunday, July 8. His
condition was first made known by
the moaning heard in his room. He
was found in an unconscious state,
and so continued till the end came.
Congestion of the brain was the I'M
mediate cause of death. A merciful
Providence has ordered it., that
though dying away from home and
friends, there was no anxious
thought in life's last hours. Mrs.
Forbes, who left Honolulu, July 3,
learned the sad news on her arrival
at San Francisco. She will remain
some little longer for the rest she
herself needs, and sympathising
friends are doing and have done all
that kindness can suggest for COM
fort in such bereavement, as they
had previously done for Mr.. Forbes
himself.
Rev. Anderson Oliver Forbes was
born at Kaawaloa, S. Kona, Ha-
wall, April IA, 1888. His father,
Rev. Cochran Forbes, commissioner
of the A. b. G. f. M, came to
these islands in 1881, and was sta
toned on the south side of Keala-
kekua Bay till 1916. His family re-
turning to the United States in lS49,
Anderson Forbes entered Washing
ton College, Pa. graduating in 1858 I;
and pursued his theological studies
at Princeton, graduating in 1858.
He came TO the islands the same
year, and was stationed at Kalua-
aha, Molokai, until 1868. He then
took charge of Kaumakapili Church
Honolulu; but in 1870 was appoint
ed one of the faculty of Lahainaluna
Seminary, where he remained till
1874, when he was called to be pas
tor of the Foreign Church, at Hilo,
Hawaii. There he remained till in
1880 he was elected Corresponding
Secretary of the Hawaiian Board,
which brought him again to Homo
lulu TO reside.
A man of good judgment, of culti-
waited mind, and scholarly instincts,
he knew the Hawaiian language in
its idomatic forms with correct
ness, which few foreigners have ever
attained. lie spoke with a raciness

MORNING SESSION.

The House opened at 10 a. IN.
President w. r. Castle in the chair.
Roll called and absentees noted.
The President announced the
death of the Hon. Saml. G.. Wilder,
a member of this assembly and its
late President.
Minister Austin moved that day
be set apart for resolutions of con-
dolence and enlogistic remarks out
of respect to the memory of the late
President and that Wednesday af-
ternoon be the time appointed for
such ceremonies.
Minister Ashford said he should
support the motion. It. was the
custom in the America to set apart
a whole day, but as our numbers
are small and we are all together he
thought that one-half day would
be sufficient on this occasion, but
anything less than that is less than
this House owes to the memory of
this illustrious man.
Hc luOJlOn WAS unanimously
adopted.
The motion for the House to adj

out of respect to the memory of the

FAREWELL MEETING To REV. M.
C, HARRIS,

There was goodly number of
Japanese and of other friends, gath
cred in Queen Emma hall, last even
ing, to bid goodbye TO Rev. M. c.
Harris, the Superintendent of the
japanese Mission in San Francisco.
His visit to the Islands was with the
object of making arrangements for
the permanent organization of the
work undertaken by the young men
of that Mission for the better evan
gelization of the japanese laborers,
now numbering over 1900. His
large-heartedness and enthusiastic
deyotedness to Christian work have
endeared him to many who have
had the pleasure of making his ac-
quaintance in his brief stay among
us. He has not only successfully
accomplished the object of his visit,
but has had the privilege of partici-
pating in many of the interesting
scenes that have been witnessed
since his arrival.
Brief addresses were made by
Rev. DIR. Hyde, Rev. DR.. Beckwith,
Chief Justice Judd, General Secre-
tary Fuller, Mr.. faro Ando, Rev.
X. Miyama and Rev. Mr.. Harris, as
also Rev. II. Shimizu, who in the in
terests of japanese evangelization
has visited all the plantations on the
different islands, and now returns
to San Francisco, called back for a
time by other engagements there.

and vivacity which made him an
acceptable speaker on all public
occasions. lie greatly endearcd
himself to the Hawaiians, to whose
interests he was thoroughly devoted.
His place and work as the Cores
ponding Secretary of the Hawaiian
Board, it will be difficult to ill, re-
curing as it does such multifarious
qualities. His death is loss to the
religious working force of the COM
munity, which will be deeply felt in
many departments of Christian
work.

DEATH OF HON. S. C. WILDER.

The Honorable Samuel Gardner
Wilder passed quietly away at 7:15
O'Clock this morning. He had been
sick for little over a month, but
not until few days ago was his
case considered hopeless.
The deceased was born in Leo
minister, Massachusetts, on the goth
of June, 1881. In 1914 the family
with thousands of others emigrated
to what was then the far West
Illinois. There they settled, but
Samuel at this early age developed
traits that in after life became con-
spicuous, and led him to fame and
prominence in business. The mon
otonous routine of life on farm
was repugnant to his progressive
nature. Consequently he started as
soon as he was able, which was in
1852, for California, across the great
western prairies.
Arriving in California the excite
ment and hustle of life in a new
country was for time all that he
desired but of that he soon tired,
and in 1855 came to Honolulu on a
business venture. After staying q
short time he returned to Califor-
mia, and chartered ship to 60 to
the guano islands. He took the
first cargo of guano from Bakers
Island to New York. This trade he
found congenial to his tastes Gas it
smacked of adventure)and remained
in it little over two years.
Subsequently he came to the Is
lands and settled down to make a
home for himself. He first went
into cane culture in Makawao, Maui,
and continued in it until his planta-
ton was destroyed by fire. He then,
in company with DR.. Judd (his
father-in-law), started sugar plan
tation at Kualoa, which he kept
running with varied success until
1871. He then for the first time
identified himself with the inter-
island trade, and was made agent of
the old steamer Kilauea. This
agency he handled with marked
ability, and instead Of this vessel
being an expense to the Govern
ment, she was with all her misfor-
tune, paying her expenses and
leaving a small margin for profits.
About this time he was called
upon to form new Ministry, which
he did, and was the Minister of In
terror and Premier for about two
years, when change came over the
Government and he was succeeded.
His incumbency in that Office was
marked by extensive internal i'm
provements, that were conceived
and executed in mastery manner.
The Inauguration of the present
steam communication between the
islands, and the construction and
operation of the Marine Rrailway
were among some of the projects
that he engineered to successful
issue. He also built q railroad
through the district of Kohala
against the advice of many who
thought such scheme only sure
way of sinking fortune, and
against obstacles natural and other
wise that would have discouraged
a less energetic man.
While agent of the Kilauea and
manager of the lumber business of
Hon. Jas. l. Dowsett, he made over
lures to Mr.. Dowsett for the pur-
chase of the business, and in April,
1872, the transfer of the business
was made. This business he has
carried on ever since, and developed
it from small affair to its present
proportions. He has been closely
identified with the Government for
many years. He was appointed

Base Ball Notes.

The Lovells will play their famous crack
battery against the Augustus today.
A project is on foot to arrange series of
games with Skowhegan for the champion
ship of Maine. The idea is to secure some
first class umpire-acceptable to both mines
and play three games, one in Augusta, one
at Skowhegan, and one on neutral grounds,
to be decided upon later. There is no doubt
but what such a series of games would draw
large crowds.
The Lowells, champions of the New
England League have been engaged to play
in this city next Wednesday. Excursion
from neighboring places will probably BE-
arranged. 1t will be the greatest game OF
ball ever played in the Kcnnebec Valley.

One of the birds was released in the second
fourth, sixth and eighth innings, and carried
the standing of the game to this city.

Editors Table.

A book with a curious title-page which is
too long to be copied in full, but which may
be stated in brief as a view of the history
and policy of the Republican party, comes
to our table from the press of Geo. w. Dill
bingham, New York. 1t is written by Col.
J. N. Aquirre, a native of Honduras, and
is given in the form of an open letter to
Hon. James G. Blaine. The author has
spent much time in our country which he
intensely loves and glOrifies in fine language
the warm, impulsive language Of the ar
dent Spanish poet-and he depicts in glow
ing style the grandeur of the United States,
its magnificent future, and the good that is
possible to our country through the admins
tration of the Republican party. The read
ing of the work will help bring about the
results which every lover of this country
and of the party so much desires to be ac-
complished- Price 80 cents.

the late Rev. John Allen, better known
throughout New England as "Campmeeting
John Allen" has just been published in q
neat volume by B. B. Russell, Boston, Mass.
The biographical sketch is from the pen of
his nephew, the late Rev. Stephen Allen,

devoted to personal sketches, memorial
recollections. and eulogies by prominent
members of the Methodist denomination.
"Campmeeting John" was vigorous

sincere lover of his fellow man; an original
preacher; a hater of shams, and a man

Special cor. to tine Kennebec Journal.
About o'clock A. NJ. the teams that con-
tanned what few delegates that attended the
convention began to arrive and at 1918
when John Claiming of Fairfield called the
assembled faithful to order, about 300 oc-
cupied the body of the hall. The number
Benz. S. Collins of No. Arson was called to
the chair who in fifteen minute speech ar
raigned the Republican convention of week
ago and characterized it as "Skowhegan
convention, and not the convention of
Somerset county" Declared the people to
be honest but the politicians--slippery Ben
Moore, No. Arson and W. w. Kelley were
appointed by the chair as Secretaries. Ma
jor Charming announced that fifteen towns
and plantations had not presented credentials
but he and Collins showed themselves to be
equal to the occasion by suggesting that the
nomination could be made by reclamation,
and that would do away with the usual
method of combining the convention to a
limited number of votes QSl.) Every can
didate was nominated by reclamation and
without opposition and the expression used
by The Review last week in calling the Re-
publican convention "Cut and dried affair"
is applicable to the convention held here to-
day. A more loose or careless way of con-
due ting convention never was witnessed in
this place before. When one man was NOM
mated he met with no opposition whatever;
only in one instance were there two candi-
dates mentioned and then one withdrew rather
than to have the convention proceed to ballot
and the result be, what we all knew it would
be, larger number of votes thrown than
there were delegates present. fact that &C.
cured in the last three conventions. and it
was that little episode that led the convention
managers to adopt the new system, then no
one would know who voted or how many
voted or whether or not those who voted
were entitled to vote. The idea the conven-
ton conveyed to one of contemplative
mind, was that the democrats wanted a ticket
the candidates were as long as the
offices all had candidate attached
to them. Two bands were in attendance up
on the mass meeting in the afternoon. Gen.
Samuel F. Cary, VIM. l.. Putnam and S. S.
Brown, addressed the audience which was
composed in great part of republicans of the
town who always go to hear both sides of the
question. Several noticed the fact that Col.
J. X. Fellows is absent from the list of speak
ers and expressed desire to see the Con-
federate Colonel who interests himself so
much in the campaign this year. The cam
paign opens up brightly. James G. Blaine
speaks next week and preparations are being
made for big demonstration.
