Kohala Seminary.

The pupils of Kohala Seminary
with their principal, Miss NJ. F.
Whittier, teachers, parents and
friends, celebrated Independence Day
by a ride to Polulu Gulch. The day
was delightful; and the two hundred
horses and riders were a pretty sight
winding their way slowly down the
steep precipice into the valley, which
is lovely, with high walls to the east
and west rice fields on the south and
the bright waters of the Pacific on
the south, where many of the pupils
enjoyed a frolic with the waves, or
a stroll along the beach, with appe
tites sharpened for the s. luau pre-
pared by their parents or friends.
1t consisted of fig poi, fish, fowl,
etc, also an abundance of bread and
cake made by the girls of the school,
instructed by their teacher, Miss NJ
l.. O. Gorten. More than 200 people
partook of the feast. Music was
furnished by the "Hilo Boys Band"
and singing by the pupils.
After the feast, the horses were
again mounted, and after a ride along
the beach and to the various points
of interest in the valley the merry
party slowly wended their way up
the gulch and then enjoyed canter
of eight miles homeward, delighted
with this days pleasure, which will
long be remembered by all present
as very delightful day spent in one
of the most romantic valleys of the
beautiful island of Hawaii.

Two Alarms of Fire.

On Saturday evening about 1880
O'Clock an alarm of fire was rung.
1t was for a blaze in room occupied
by Mr.. Reynolds, over the Portu-
guese tailor's shop adjoining King
Bros store. The fire was discovered
before it gained much Roadway. A
bed was burned somewhat, also a
table and some toys. Damage about
SO. No insurance. There was every
indication that the fire was the work
of an incendiary.
At IL AS O'Clock the same evening
a fire was discovered between two
packing cases in rear of Chinese
store, corner of Maunakea street,
near the Fish Market. 1t was put
out quickly. No danger, How it
started is mystery.

HILO NEWS.

(From the Hilo Record Dec. I'D
A sudden gloom was cast over our
little community, when by telephone
we heard from Laupahoehoe, that
Mrs. Colville had passed from earth
at her residence in Paia, Maui; and
that her remains were then on the way
here for interment in our little GENE
terry where her mother was laid some
time since. The funeral was held in
Foreign Church on Friday last and
was attended by very large number
of friends
Mrs. Jennie Colville was born in
Wappingill Falls, New York, and
was one of a family of eight chill
dren, five of whom are now living
Her maiden name was Jennie
Deacon. She has two brothers now
in this country and one sister, Mrs.
G. G. Kennedy of Hilo, Hawaii.
Miss Deacon arrived in this coun-
try in August, 1881, and was mar
ried to Mr.. Colville at Waiakea,

in this district until Mr. Colville re-
ceived the position of manager at
Paia, where they removed December,
1883, and where Mrs. Colville died
November II, 1890.
While a resident of Hilo Mrs.
Colville endeared herself by her
kindness and lovely character to all
our community; she had not an
enemy in the world; hers was one of
those sweet, bright characters that
always make friends, and never
| enemies.
Mr.. Eddy Hitchcock was thrown
from his horse while riding through
the woods on the Volcano road and
his shoulder was dislocated 1t was
put in place on arriving in town by
Mr.. w. E. Scott, and he has now
recovered from the injury.

The telephone to the Volcano is
working we'll, but those putting it
up, should have put the line on to
better posts. As it is now, the pre-
sent posts will not last three or four
years When the line is connected
from Hilo to the Volcano, it will put
both Hilo and Kau IN less than
weekly communication with Homo
lulu, by way of the Hall and Kinau.
We hope this end of the line will be
started before long
The Volcano was active on Sunday
night, but it is continually changing
its appearance. Halemaumau is rap
idly building up, and now the south
western part of the crater is above
the level of the inner banks of 1859.
Mr.. Maby has rebuilt the steam bath
house that was blown down in the
early part of the year. A nice dress
ing room has been added and two
steam boxes put in and ready for
use. We cheerfully recommend to
all our readers to go and try them,
as it is luxury we cannot get else
where on the islands.

VERY CONSIDERATE.

Be careful what you put on your en- velopes. Not long ago the debt collecting agencies were in the habit of putting words on their envelopes calculated to make delinquent debtors ashamed of them selves and to make the neighbors of the act making it criminal offence to mail any matter on the envelope, wrapper or cover of which is printed written 'any delineation, epithets, terms or language calculated by the terms or manner or style of display and obviously intended to reflect injuriously upon the character or conduct of another" Several decisions have been given under this law, and debtors have been well protected by it. But Judge Wheeler of the United States Circuit court deserves their thanks for making things still easier for them. He has decided that a man has no right to print on his envelopes the words Excelsior Collection Agency" He said that the question was whether the words on the envelope were obviously in tended to reflect upon the person to whom the letter was addressed, and he decided that they were. He took this view: The words Excelsior Collection Agency" are printed in very large, fullfaced capital let ters which occupy more than the upper half of the envelope; are separate from tho directions to return if not delivered, in tho lower left-hand corner, and were obviously placed there to attract attention and refiec delinquency in making payments upon thu person sent to. The object probably wa to make the person pay up to avoid a repe tition of the reflection.
 This is good one. By and by we shal perhaps have decision that bad debtors feelings mustn't be hurt by such words a
 ''Please remit" etc., which are often pu on bills.

FINANCES IN JAPAN.
As i'm This Country, Money is Becom-

As fin This Country, Money is Becom-
 ing Congested fin Large Centers.
 According to the Japan Mai, ; the changes that are steadily taking place in the distribution of wealth in that country are beginning to cause serious uneasiness to the more intelligent portion of the nation. A leading native paper, lately discussing the subject, remarks that in consequence of the disappearance of feudal restrictions on the freedom of commerce and industry, and of the introduction of improved means of locomotion and correspondence, fhereis an increasing tendency of the wealth of the country toward larger centers of busi- ness. 1t illustrates this by various statis- tics. Thus the share which Tokio has in the interest of public loan bonds increased in three years from 45 to 50 per cent. The precsntage of bank shares in possession of Tokio increased from 52 to 54 in two years, similarly with shares in other public com panies, and also in the case of the income tax "Should things go on at this rate Japan will sooner or later become, so to speak, the victim of brain congestion" The malady is not confined to the accu- mutation of wealth in Tokio and other i'm portant towns. It is equally noticeable that capital is constantly passing into the hands of a small number of individuals. For instance, AAnus WHICH As ln lne Sses oA the Japanese farmer great deal more than mere property, something almost sacred, which he Is bound to maintain as the lega- cy of his ancestors, is rapidly passing ont of the hands of the smaller proprietors in- to those of rich men To substantiate this assertion the Tolio journal refers to the steady decrease in the number of persons having the right of election to local assem- blies In 1880 the total number of electors throughout the country was l, ,S09, ,6i0; in 1887 it decreased to l ASS, ,107; while the numbers qualified to be elected were sT9.- 347 and S02, ,975 in the respective years. It next gives table pointing to an alarming increase of the poor. In 1882 persons re- ceiving public relief, on account of age, sickness and the like, aggregated G, ,047, but the number steadily increased until it was 15, ,I99 in 1887.

SOME CURIOUS FACTS.

SOtAAC " ASASs
 The Wisconsin labor bureau has been doing instructive work in finding out the wages paid in different American cities in the various building trades. There is an astonishing difference. A common labor CT in Atlanta is paid seven and one-half cents an hour, while the same laborer in Galveston receives twenty cents an hour that is. in these two southern cities, the scale in one place is nearly three times as high as in the other. The master builders in Brooklyn pay, in wages, more than the master builders in New York to masons, roofers and common laborers. On the other hand, the master builders in New York pay higher wages than those in Brooklyn to painters, carpenters and plumbers, and yet there is only river, spanned by bridge, separating these two localities. Carpenters in Providence are paid at the rate of twenty-five cents an hour, while in New York they get thirty nine cents an hour.
 Of course it is impossible to tell just what these facts mean unless the cost o1 living in the different cities is also given But it is surprising that there is such { difference in wages in places near eact other. It seems strange that the differ ence is not speedily abolished by the nov ing of workers from one place to the oth er.- Possibly, however, they have found that it would not pay them.
