success is indicated in the summary of
his business history given above. Wall

sound judgment in financial matters, of

than his election to the presidency of the

HAWAIIANS IN UTAH.
An Extract Concerning Them from
Frank Leslie's Weekly.

In the January 18th number of
Frank Leslie's weekly is a group
of seven native Hawaiians, two
being women. They are citizens
of the United States residing at
Salt Lake City. The following is
an extract from that paper: ~
Mr.. Joseph F. Smith beat a
retreat to the Sandwich Islands,
and the records went with him.
Moved by his influence, and
tradition of their people that their
ancestors had come from great
continent over the seas and that
some day they shall return to their
fatherland, the Hawaiian natives
to the number of about ninety,
have removed here, and formed an
agricultural community near the
Great Salt Lake. These trans
planted islanders are seemingly
happy and prosperous; better edu-
Gated, more industrious and amol-
tious than in their native home.
Most of them are young. The old
est is Chas. w. Naau, aged sixty
three. He and the other men In
the accompanying group are natur-
allied citizens of the United States.
Kiha Nebeka is the best educated.
He was the first native to leave
the islands for a residence abroad,
coming here a boy of eleven In
1873. He speaks English better
than his own tongue. Jane, wife
of Naau, is a typical Hawaiian
woman in face and figure, and
might sit for the face of the de-
posed queen. Louisa Halemanu
is twenty-one, beauty of her race.
Young Hawaii is represented by
Joseph Ihalau, fifteen years old.
In him is shown In marked de-
gree the musical trait of his people.
The ballads of his native isles,
sung in the Hawaiian tongue, have
a plaintive sweetness unexcelled.

THE NEXT PARIS EXPOSITION.
Commissioner General Picard Has Already
Commenced Preparations.

Commissioner General Picard Has Already
Commenced Preparations.
France is already beginning to prepare
for the universal exposition of 1900, and
if that exposition is not entirely ready
for the official opening-as the history
of worlds fairs makes it safe to predict
it will not bet will not be for want OF
beginning the work of preparation in
time. The site has not yet been selected
definitely, but it is suspected with some
reasonableness that the government of
ficials favor the location occupied by
the exposition of 1889, though they are
making pretenses of examining other
proposed sites with great deal of par
tic1Ilarity.
The commissioner general has been
selected, however, and his appointment
caused not little surprise. He is M.
Alfred Picard, counsellor of state, who
has been acting as president of the COM
mission appointed by the minister of
commerce and industry to pass upon the
availability of the different sites sub
mitted for the fair. NJ. Berger, a promi-

NEWS FROM HIL0.
The Seventeenth Celebrated by a
Picnic.

HLo, Jan. o. The social life
and activity of our little town is
beginning to revive with the abate-
ment of the scarlet fever scare and
the advent Of visitors, whom it de-
wolves upon us to entertain with
our accustomed hospitality.
Mrs. II. C.. Austin opened the
season on the 18th inst. with an
afternoon tea" given in honor Of
Miss f. ]. Alsip. of San Francisco.
The clerk of the weather seemed
to be in league with the hostess, as
it proved to be the first pleasant
day of the new year. A large num-
Der took advantage of the invita-
ton to meet the guest and enjoy
the privilege OF social intercourse.
The birthday of the Provisional
Government, January 18th, was
very generally celebrated by the
townspeople, though no noisy
demonstrations were INDUCED in.
Hawaiian musicians opened the
day in the "wee small hours" of
the morning by serenading annex
ationists and Government officials
with just as much zest as if it had
been a royalist anniversary. Some
of the royalists were very much
disguised thereat, likening them
to Nero fiddling while Rome was
burning, etc.
Chas. Motley gave picnic at
Cocoanut Island, which was at
tended by large number of peo-
pie, irrespective of nationality and
politics, and was perfect success.
Wilson's large bus carried the |
pleasure seekers both ways.
Mrs. l.. Severance gave the |
Church social at her house on the
10Th inst, and it proved to be one
of the most enjoyable affairs of the
kind that has been given in many
months. The evening was perfect
as far as weather and atmospheric
could make it, and en-
couraged large number of towns
people and their guests to gather
together. The rooms and verandas
were filled to overlooking, and judg-
ing from the happy faces and
merry ripple of conversation, all
came for a good time, and were
going to have it. The entertainment
was varied and interesting. Songs,
recitations and instrumental pieces
followed each other in quick sue
cession, and the evening was spent
Ill too soon.
Mr.. and Mrs. E. w. Barnard, of
Laupahoehoe, have been spending
L few days in town and at the vol
,ano. Judge Barnard is very much
in coffee culture, and
ook advantage of this trip to study
he methods at Olaa.
DR.. Nichols is here on business
md pleasure, dividing his time be-
ween his Olaa coffee ranch and
own.
Mrs. DIR. Thompson visited friends
n town for few days and has re-
urned to her home at Honohina.

ment, and it was even said it had been
promised him by Minister Terrier. His
failure to get it is ascribed to the gov
ernment's dissatisfaction with his course
IN the chamber of deputies, of which he
is member.
NJ. Picard is AZ years of age. He was
a pupil of the celebrated Polytechnique
school, and after his graduation there
entered the government School of
Bridges and Roads. He served with the
engineers during the Franco-Prussian
war and was promoted to be chief of the
engineer corps at Verdun. He was APP
pointed state counsellor in 1881 and
made section president in 1886. He has
the cross of grand officer of the Legion
of Honor and holds the position of in
spector general of bridges and roadways
of the first class.
