was hung out over the door of Engine
House No. l early on Friday evening,
every seat being occupied, as the
sign denotes.

gineers for the department, to take
place on next Monday evening.
Foreman Robert More opened the

matters generally were proposed, and
fittingly responded to by Postmaster
General Hill, Deputy Marshal Mehr-
ten, Superintendent White of the
Water Works, Sergeant Bruins of the
Fire Police, Messrs. Keawe, Kenyon,
Barker and others, all of which re-
ceived hearty applause.
The host, Mr.. More, saw that all
were made to feel at home, and he
was ably assisted by Messrs. Hughes
were served during the evening, and
many tOasts and songs were offered.
The event of the evening, however,
was a campaign song, words and
music composed for the occasion, and
"sprung" by the "Hoomanawanuin
quartette (Messrs. Ritman, CharlOck,
KOii and Bruns) as follows
NO. Is CAMPAIGN SONG.
On the seventh of December, each man
from first to last,
For Bob More and his Ticket, solid vote
will cast,
And Bob he will elected be. that you may
safely bet,
By the heaviest majority that ere was
polled here yet.
CHORUS:
Fire-house, fire-house, is our call, we vote
for Bob More, one and all;
No fear how hot the fire is raging We al
ways are at our station.
Fire-hOuse, fire-hOuse, is our call, cheer for
Chief More one and all;
No fear how hot the fire is raging, We al
ways are at our station.
Hurrahl Hurrah!
Hurrah! Hurrah!
For More the Chief by one and all.
For Bob's friends they are many, his enc
mics are few;
Grave faults he hasn't any, his heart is
ever true;
Bob's head is always level, his judgment il
is sound,
A better man than Robert More in this
land can't be found.
CHoRUs-Fire-house fire-house, etc.
When late at night the fire-bells clash, the
red flames flare and flash,
Then Chief Bob More steps on the scene
directly all's serene;
Now the fire-bell clashing ceases-HOno-
lulu rest in peace,
sharp watch then Bob More will keep,
well may your people sleep.
cHORUs-Fire-house fre-house, etc.
The song made great hit, and
"caught on" so speedily that it had
to be Reproduced several times before
the boys would keep quiet. 1t was a
great surprise for "Bob" and his
friends, and cOngratulatiOn were in
order.
After several other songs, the meet
ing adjourned.

1 WILD MAN ON EAWAII.
Captured in the Woods in a
Nude Condition.

On Monday, November 10th, word
was left in the Sheriffs office at Hilo,
that there was wild man in the Pau
kaa woods, who would not allow the
wood choppers to do their work, he
running after them with a spear and
frightening them generally. Accord
ingly, the Sheriff sent the Captain of
Police and three men to find him and
bring him to town.
He was found six miles in the
woods in little hut, made from old
fume boards. At time of finding he
was asleep, and so his capture was
easy. His bed was made like q long
box, and had q cover to it. He evil
IDENTIFY shut himself in this box at
night. At time of finding he was per-
fectIy nude.
Two hundred feet from the house
his clothes chest was found, and it
contained new suit of clothes and a
few other articles of clothing. Around
the mouse are large holes about 10 feel
deep, made as he says for catching
pigs. In all probability they were
made to keep off intruders. His
money was made from baked beans
and beeswaX. He says it was worth
$14, and accuses one of the men OF
stealing it.
He had two murderous looking
knives, made from large files, anC
sheathed in wooden sheaths of his
own making. His spear was made
from another and smaller file, pointed
ut the end and fastened into an ohis
stick about feet long. His languag,
of the birds was in Chinese-chip
chip, chip pun tee. Native-Awiw
awiwi. He made no objections t.
coming down to town, and is now il
the Hilo jail, and quite rational. Hi
trial for insanity will come off to
morrow.-[Hilo Record.

H. Tracey, riding columbia Light
Roadster continuous fork safety,
Edwin Paris coming in second, scarce
a wheels length behind. The last 100
yards displayed the pluck of both
riders, Paris having fallen back at
the start, was gradually closing up on
Tracey, who "sent her home" holding
good his risky big "lead." covering
the mile in the remarkable time of
min. sec.
The second race, free for all, was
easily won by Reuben A. Dexter in
min. 5 sec., carrying off handsome
cyclometer.,

shown by the crowd which gathered
on both sides of the street to witness
the contest. 1t is hoped to have some

RECEPTION ATKA WAIAHAO.
Rev. Henry Parker Welcomed
Home nv His Church,

NCbs ACAAJ aAACA "CASOAASo
Home by His Church.
The reception given to Rev. Henry
Parker by the congregation of Ka-
waiahao Church took place Friday
| evening at Kawaiahao Seminary.
The grounds were beautifully illum-
mated with Chinese lanterns which
were kindly lent by the Hawaiian
Hotel for this purpose. The guests
began to gather early, and by 1880
the parlors and schoOlrOOm of the
seminary were crowded. A number
of foreigners were present, but the
company was composed principally
of Hawaiians who turned out in great
force to honor their newly returned
pastor. The parlors of the seminary
were decorated in charming taste
with vines and roses. The guests
were served with cake, cream and
ices by the Kawaiahao girls,
who were as usual prettily attired in
white, after which the school sang a
number of songs under the able lead
ership of Miss Patch whose efforts
have brought the chorus to high
state of efficiency. After the sing
ing Rev. Mr.. Parker addressed the
company in Hawaiian. The ADvER-
TTsER detailed a special reporter to
report the speech, but he brought
back nothing but blank paper, with
the remark, You might as we'll try
to take down the notes of night
ingale singing in its native woods"
The Hawaiian Band was stationed
on the lawn throughout, and it's pres
ence added greatly to the festivity of
the occasion. The band boys were
not forgotten in the distribution of
good things.
The reception was thorough sue
cess, and this was due largely to the
efforts of Mrs. Haalilea, who with
Mrs. Adams and other ladies of Ka-
waiahao, carried the enterprise.
Thanks are due also to the Kawaia-
haO Seminary teachers, whose assist
ance was Indispensable.
Everyone will rejoice that Kawaia-
hao Church has fastened to do honor
to man of the unpretentious good
ness and sterling worth of Henry
Parker, who is not merely one of the
best of men, but one of the truest
friends of the Hawaiian race.

morning at IL o'clock, when appro-
pirate exercises for the observance of

occupied about forty minutes in de-
livery, and was attentively listened
to. The choir sang "My country tits
of the" after which Mr.. ]. w. Maui
kama gave an address on behalf of the
Y. NJ. C. AIS. Hawaii Ponoi" was

Gen Grant possessed in striking de-
gree all the characteristics of a success
full soldier. His methods in warfare bore
the stamp of originality and ingenuity.
His success depended more upon his pow
ers of invention than adaptation. The
fact that he has been compared at times
to nearly all the great commanders of
history is the best proof that he was like
none of them. His self reliance was one
of his most pronounced traits. He as
sumed the gravest responsibilities with
their attendant risks without asking any
one to share them. He had fertility of
resource and a faculty of adapting the
means at hand to the accomplishment of
his purposes, which contributed in no
small degree to his success. Both his
moral and physical courage were equal
to every emergency in which he was
placed. Never unduly elated by victory
or depressed by defeat, he was calm
amidst excitement, patient under trials
and never in his life uttered an oath or
mprecation.-[G Gen Horace Porter.

Among the nameless heroes, none are
more worthy of martyrdom than he who
rode down the valley of the Conemaugh,
warning the people ahead of the Johns
town flood. Mounted on q powerful
horse, faster and faster went the rider,
but the flood was swiftly gaining, until
it caught the unlucky horseman and
swept on, grinding, crushing, annihila-
ting both weak and strong.
In the same way is disease lurking
near, like unto the sword of Damocles,
ready to fall, without warning, on its
victim, who allows his system to be-
come clogged up, and his blood poi
soned, and thereby his health endan-
gered. To eradicate these poisons from
the system, no matter what their name
or nature, and save yourself a spell of
malarial, typhoid or bilious fever, or
eruptions, swellings, tumors and kim
dred disfgurements, keep the liver and
kidneys healthy and vi gorous, by the
use of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. It's the only blood-purifier sold
on trial. Your money is returned if it
doesn't do exactly as recommended. A

The industrial growth of the Southern
States has been remarkable during the
last decade. especially in the States of
Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, Georgia.
This has been largely the result of the
fact that the attention of engineers, man.
ufacturers and capitalists has been at
tracted by the wonderful mineral re-
sources of this region. Facts already
published by the census office exhibit
mineral development which, if continued
through another decade, will bring about
remarkable changes in at least five South
ern States. This development of the min
eral resources of the South has not been
at the expense of its other industries.
The manufacture of cotton, for example,
has increased to wonderful degree; in
1880, the amount of cotton consumed in
the South was 10000 bales, while in
1890 it used 497 700 bales, an increase of
175 per cent superintendent of the
