at Kawaiahao Church. The object
of the assemblage was to express
syn. pathy with General Armstrong in
his work at Hampton, Virginia.
Among those present we're: Chief
Justice Judd, Judge Dole, Mr.. A. S.
Hartwell, Prof. w. d. Alexander,
Revs. DR.. C. Nj. Hyde, w. b. Ole
son and DR.. Beckwith, Chief En-
gineer Inch and Chaplain Hoes Of the
L. 5. f. S. San Francisco, Hon. j.

U. :. Consul-General, Mrs. Halle
lea, Messrs. A. f. Cooke, w. w.
Hall, J. $. and 5. n. Emerson, Theo.
Richards, Drs. Andrews and Nichols.
The meeting was opened by Judge
S. b. Dole, who said that it was
fitting and pleasant thing to revive
his General Armstrong's) memory
in this his birthplace, as it was moth
ing but natural, although he is an
adopted son of America. The
speaker recited the brave and manly
exploits of the general in the Civil
War and stated on the evidence of
one of the most prominent men in
America, Mr.. Hale, that Armstrong
had done more for there construction
of the South through elevation of the
negro race, than any other man. The
speaker eulogized his memory, saying
that when he laid down his sword
after the Civil War he went into the
solution of the freedman question. In
this he showed sagacity. For a
quarter of a century he went on with
his educational work. Without means
he started school with 100 teachers
and this institution in national
sense is one of the greatest in Amer
lea to-day. Lately, however, Arm
strong has been Frustrated. Whether
he RECEIVERS or not, or this institution
may or may not continue, remains to
be seen. The school has sent out
700 graduates into the world. One
problem it has solved is CO. education.
The Kauai Industrial School must
almost be called branch of the
Hampton school. This Kauai school
is one of the results of the Generals
late visit. This being an informal
meeting the speaker would describe
Gen. Armstrong as one of Hawaii's
big boys, being born in this country.
Chief Justice Judd was introduced
as the next speaker and spoke in Ha-
waiian. He remarked that he was
proud to say the man who was being
so honored in America was born in
Hawaii and was fellow-graduate of
his, both coming out in the same
year. Mr.. Judd returned to Hawaii
while Mr.. Armstrong went to the war
and there distinguished himself. He
felt that it was their duty to remem-
Der him. Armstrong is the only gen.
eral born in Hawaii mel. In 1880 the
speaker visited the Hampton school
and termed 1t a grand school. If
anyone wished to make subscriptions
towards the fund for keeping the
school running they could do so.
While the General had achieved high
honors he did not envy him the
severe toll 10y which he had risen.
He then spoke about the General S
exploits in the civil war.
Mr.. Fl. w. Severance was then
called upon, who said that there was
no other man with more signal re-
putation than General Armstrong.
Mr.. Severance then spoke about the
| Generals success among the Indians
in his educational work, and remark
ed that whatever had been said of
him was well deserved.
Mr.. j. s. Emerson said that the
ownership of General Armstrong
work belonged TO Father Lyman OF
the Hilo boarding school.
Rev. w. b. Oleson recognized the
fact that the work done by Gen.
Armstrong owed its inception to Ha
wall. They had a claim on the mar
and he would voice the sentiment
that they had better right to owl
him than the people of New England
AT the close of The war while his feel
low-fghters were seeking positions
political OF otherwise, Gen. Arm

of the humber races at Hampton
Virginia.
Rev. g. Nj. Hyde said that Genera
Armstrong was so full of electricit,
that he could get away from the bul
let's, and should have the same repu
tation as our Hawaiian hero VIII,
could dodge the bullets. Many Ha
waiians have an idea that by learning
law, they would come to be abov
others. General Armstrong, instead
Of imparting to the negroes classica
learning, taught them in the ways o
industrial independence. His i'm
preston was that Armstrong mad
his mark here as newspaper man
as he was many-sided man. Tn
speaker believed the same as tn
General, in spending money instea,
of boarding il, for the elevation o
common humanity.
