the youngest man in the United States to hold
a regular Colone!'s commission flo is the
commander OF the Washington Military COM
pany of Washington. ID. c.. and gained this
honor through his wonderful proficiency in the
regular manual movements with the sword
and the musket.
Col. Hartman was born in this city on July
"a, 1868, Soon afterward his father moved to
Brooklyn. where he has resided ever since. At
the age Of seven the young soldier evinced a
liking for things military. and began practising
the drill movements at the ord armory OF the
Forty seventh Regiment IN Brooklyn. He
rapidly became familiar With all the move
ments OF the manual. and soon began to de-
veop the efficiency which in later years has
given him the right to defend the title of
champion swordsman OF America.
When he was 13 years old he was attending
public school No. 81. While at this school he
organized forty-6ve OF his comrades into a
military company. and drilled them in all the
regular army tactical movements. Under the
direction Of their boy commander this COM

THE CENSUS.

Our readers are aware that the
regular census of this country, re
guired by law to be taken every six
years, is to come off during the
present month. Owing to the un
expected failure of the Legislature
to pass the bill recognizing this
branch of the public service, the
work was thrown back upon the
Board of Education, in whose charge
it has been for the past twenty five
or thirty years, with very inadequate
time for preparation. Under these
circumstances it was impossible to
enlarge the scope of the census to
the extent contemplated by the spe
cial commission appointed by the
Legislature of 1888, or to make any
material changes or improvements
in the methods of carrying on the
work. The existing statute requir-
ing that the census should be taken
during the year 1890. the Board
could only organize the service sub
stantially as heretofore, with such
additions to the previous schedules
as seemed practicable.
DR.. g. T. Rodgers was appointed
General Superintendent on the 9th
of November, and proceeded imme-
diately to organize the service fol
the whole kingdom. Outside OF
Honolulu a district superintendent
has been appointed for each of the
twenty-three districts into which the
country is divided. These gentle
men divide their respective districts
into convenient sub divisions and
select sub agents or enumerators fol
the actual work of making the emu
meration. In this district the
General Superintendent appoints
the sub agents and supervises then
in person. The various schedules
blanks, instructions, etc, have al
been prepared and printed in Eng
lish and Hawaiian, and hose in
tended for use outside of this district
have all been dispatched to thei,
several destinations. This district
Kona, Oahu-has been divided into
twenty subdivisions, with an emu
merator in charge of each.
The census is intended to show
the actual condition of things as il
may exist on the night of Sunday
December 2Sth. The actual work o.
enumeration will commence on the
following morning. The following
extracts from the general regulations
issued from the central office vii
give all needed information. It may
be proper to remark for the benefi
of those of kicking proclivities tina

dollars to be imposed by any police

HAWAIIAN ALMANAC AND AN
NUAL FOR 1891.

We have received copy of The
Hawaiian Almanac and Annual for
1891 and are pleased to find that like
Honolulu itself it is larger, more
comprehensive, more convenient and
more ornamental than in any pre-
viops year.
Foremost among the new features
of our old companion is litho-
graphed map of Honolulu showing
in different colors the fire wards and
election wards of the city with the
principal buildings and fire engine
stations marked out. Another nov
city is the representation in colors
of the house flags of The various for
eign and inter island lines of sailing
and steam vessels trading regularly
to or amongst these islands.
For the use of historians and poll
ticians the list of all Cabinet Min
listers who have held offices in the
Hawaiian Kingdom from DIR. 6. p.
Judd under Kamehameha Ill. in
1912 to the present Ministry, will be
valuable, more especially to those
who know something of the occa-
sions of the many changes in the
present reign. These are all grouped
primarily as under each king, sec
ondarily as in each year, from which
we learn that from the accession of
King Kalakaua in February, 1874,
to the present date no less than
seventy Cabinet commissions, act
ing, interim or positive have been
signed or about four and a half
changes per annum, including the
names of some of the worst as we'll
as many of the best men who ever
held office in these islands.
A similarly arranged table of the
occupants of the Supreme Bench is
given from Chief Justice Hon. VIM.
l.. Lee in January, 1S4S, to the pres
ent bench. Owing to the arrange
ment however the Supreme Court of
of five Judges, or indeed its present
status of four Judges, is not to be
found without trouble and COM
parison of date
The history of land titles in the
Kingdom from the ancient system
to the present day prepared by Hon
w. d. Alexander is both interesting
and instructive.
The retrospect of the past year is
ample and shows the spirit of ad
vance and security developed since
1887. Other articles and notices
particularly that of the Hawaiian
band are very interesting.
The book is badly indexed, the
table of contents being arranged by
the pages instead of the subject
Thus if one wants information or
postal matters for instance, one has
no alphabetical guidance. "Com
parative" tables appear in three
different parts of the table. Is Ha
waiian" on four, "Table" or Tables
appears on the first or second WORD
of a heading in half dozen differ
ent places. With a better index
there would be little left to make
