The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1894-11-19
A Local Observance Of This Great
Societys Semi-Centennial.
FOUR ADDRESSES WERE MADE.
Condition OF the Honolulu Branch--Its
Needs--The Church and the Y. N. &.
A.--The London CeIebration--Work
OF the international Committee.

There was a heavy attendance
upon the Y. NJ. C.. A. jubilee meet
ing last evening. G. B. Ripley,
president of the society here, Sec
rotary Corbett, Rev. H. w. Peck
and A. B. Wood were the speakers.
Mr.. Ripley said:
When / was informed that / was
expected to speak tonight of "Our
Association; It's Work and It's Needs"
/ was somewhat surprised that our
General Secretary did not take that
subject himself, as he could tell you
more in the seven minutes which is
allotted to each speaker about Y. NJ.
G.. A. work in Honolulu than i can
possibly do, but L suppose for Secre-
tary COrbett to talk ABOUT Y. NJ. G.. a.
work as done in Honolulu would be to
talk about himself, and his modesty
would never permit him to do that.
We are organized to save men, and
by that i mean the whole man. A
man may have his soul saved and be
fitted for heaven but be very poorly
fitted for the every day duties of this
life. More and more, as experience is

gained in the Y. M. G.. A. work, is the
fact forced upon us that we must recog'
niZe the whole man, physical, mental,
as well as spiritual, hence the necessi-
ty of being fitted for this all around
work.
We have a membership of 294. We
have held during. the past year about
275 religious services, with an attend
ance of about 1000.
Our regular business meetings are
held monthly. At these very import
ant meetings the attendance is small.
Our friends contribute when we ask
but never come to see what we do with
their money. In making this COM
plant am not unmindful of the vast
amount of work done by many of our
members in different religious and be-
nevolent enterprises, and of these do
not speak.
We have a library of over five hun,
dred good books. They are new and
well selected. Seventy-two books were
taken out during the month OF Octo
Der.
Our reading rooms are open to all.
We have over fifty magazines and pa
pers upon our tables and the average
daily attendance is about $50.
During the winter months we hold
educational classes. At the present
time classes are being held in book
keeping, stenography and typewriting.
We have Junior department, under
the direct supervision of our General
Secretary. 4 most important work is
being done in this department.. Our
general work is in the hands of vari-
Gus committees all under the direc-
ton and supervision of our General
Secretary, who is expected to do
whatever the others fail to do.
These committees are as follows:
Devotional, temperance, visitation,
invitation and welcome, entertain
ment and lectures, employment, read
ing room, shipping. Each committee
has its own line of work and reports
each month to the general business
meeting. If time permitted L am
sure it would be of interest to you to
know more Of the work of these COM
mittees.
A word regarding our needs: First,
We want the presence OF our members
at our meetings. We want their
counsel, their work, their prayers.
We want to make our association
home so attractive that we can draw
young men to US.
We want a well-equipped gymna-
SUM. We must offer this attraction
to our Young men, or it will be pro-
yided elsewhere, and with surround
ings that may be fatal to the average
young man. We can and we do carry
forward a religious work; we can do
all that is asked of US in the educ
ational department; we can provide
social and literary entertainments;
but in the physical department., that
which at the present time is occupy
ing such a prominent place in the \.
Nj. c.. a. work elsewhere, we can do
nothing. We want a gymnasium.
baths, etc, and then, when equipped
with a four-fold power-religious, So
cial, intellectual and physical-we
must be successful.
In his remarks on the Relation
of the Y. NJ. G. A. to the Church, ="
Rev. III. w. Peck was earnest and
comprehensive. He said the asso-
citation was a product of the church,
an auxiliary and a help. 1t is do

ORR. G.L. GAEDEKE ACCUSED.
Mrs. Kugler's Relatives Say She
Was Unduly Influenced.
The Physician Denies that He IL a
Professional Beneficiary.

The relatives of the late Mrs kuni-
gunda kuglei, who died April 10 last,
leaving the bulk of her small estate to
DR.. }. G. l.. Gaedeke. of 800 Second ave-
rue. have decided to contest the will
upon the ground that DR.. Gaedeke exer-
cised an undue influence over the tesla
tor.
The contestants are Mrs. Joanna
Strong. of Milwaukee, Wis, and Mrs
Walpurga Notter. Of III Leonard street,
Jersey city.
Testimony in the contest will probably
be heard by the Surrogate next month
Besides the allegation of undue influence
on Dr. Gaedeke's part, II will be charged
that this is not the first instance in
which the doctor has inherited under the
will Of patient over whom, 1t is alleged,
he exerted an extraordinary influence.
Mrs. Notter, speaking Of the coming
contest. said that MIR. kugler. her sis

In a society of which DR.. Gacdeke is q
member.
After that Mrs Kugler lived for a time
with Mrs. Notter in Jersey City. but the
latter charges that the doctor induced
her to return to this city to live. Mrs
Notter says that she frequently wrote
TO her sister after her return to this city
but received no reply.
After Mrs. kugler died Mrs. Notter
alleges. DR.. Gaedeke produced will
which named him as executor Of the estate
and left him all the estate except be.

sisters and a niece.
Mrs. Notter also alleges that after the

q very similar will was produced by the
doctor, In which he was named as execu-
tor and received the bulk Of the estate.
DIR. Gaedeke emphatically denies the
charges of undue influence. and says
that In both cases the amounts left him
by his patients were not more than
enough to cover his fees.
He denies having induced Mrs. Kugler
TO leave her relatives in Jersey City, but
contends that she left them because
they treate her badly.
He says that Mrs. Kugler's husband
was friend of his. and that since Mr.
Kugler died he had attended her with.

that the money was left to him.

HANKS REVENGE.
An Engineers Plan for Frightening HIS
RiUaL In LOVe.

While the westward bound express
was stopping at the Jericho station, I
noticed that the station-master was in
close conversation with the engine
driver. This was an unusual act on his
part, as he strictly upheld the dignity
or his office, and held no communication
with engine-drivers, except to hand
them such telegraphic orders as he
might happen to have received for them.
30 after the train had departed, and the
station-master had returned to his usual
iounging place on the platform, ! had
asked him who was the man with whom
ne had been conversing.
That mani" he replied, That was
Hank Stevens. the best engineer on this
or any other road. I've known him for
going on twenty years. and have helped
10 pull him out from under three
wrecked engines. He's quiet and care
iui enough nowadays. but there was q
time when that man was just the great
est hustler and the biggest daredevil
mat ever handled the throttle of an
engine.

,nued the station-master. that re-

they don't compare with an engineer
When they see themselves getting into
a tight place they have some time to
look about them and to make up their
minds what to do: but wnen an engi-
neer, running. say at forty miles an
hour round a sharp curve, meets an
engine coming his way on the same
track. he hasn't even time TO cuss.
All he can do is to reverse his engine,
which most times Is a big mistake, as
I've heard our best engineers say. and
either to jump and break his neck or
stay and be smashed. OF course, the
engineer in such circumstances isn't
always killed. especially II he sticks TO
his engine, but tell you II takes nerve
TO handle a lever and wait like an in
telligent man when another engine Is
almost atop OF you. Nine men out OF
ten would just drop on the floor OF the
cab and say the first bit OF prayer
that they could lay q hand TO.
Speaking OF nerve reminds me that
there was an engineer on this road cnce
who lost his nerve under very similar
circumstances, and Hank Stevens was
at the bottom OF those circumstances,
as you might say. II isn't at all un-
common for an engineer to lose his
nerve. II may happen through having
his spinal marrow hurt In an accident;

derce at both 81 Bowery and PAT Third

following story: She says that on July

and purcha sed two cigars for 10 cents
Wilson offered Mrs. Muench a s. bill
and she gave him the proper change.
"Oh, by the way. I have the change"
said Wilson. as he fumbled in his pocket
for 10 cents.
The woman. however, says she saw
through the game. She told them she
would keep the 81. and advised them to
get out. Last Monday Wilson, evidently
not remembering that he had been there
before, called again. and went through
the same performance.
