American ancestor was Paul Peck,
who arrived in Boston in 1885 aud the
next year became one OF the early
settlers of the Connecticut Colony.
Sherman Peck was widely esteemed.
Henry A. P. Carter was born in
Honolulu in 1887; was educated in
Boston and retired from business
in 1874. He died in New York,
November l, 1891. At the islands
he had "almost every position
of honor and trust" there, among
other offices that of ,ainister of For
eign Affairs. In 1875, aud later, he
was the Minister PleuipOteutisry of
Hawaii at Washington, where he lad
an honorable and honored place
among the diplomatic representatives
of the world. Nations larger than
Hawaii would be we'll off il they al

The old house, of which the earlier
history has been told, still fiOurishes,
one of the very few A merican houses
outside the United States aud not
many thereof its ase or nearly its
age. No house begins and continues
as 1t has, except on sound principles
steadily practiced. Integrity, enter
prise and well made accounts have
always been its characteristics. Be
sides their thoroughly good mercan-
tile qualities, its managers have been
at least as noted for their services in
good citizenship, in phiIanthrophy,
and in public affairs-aud this esti-
mate of their character aud conduct is
here expressed by one who has per-
sonally known, or known OF, both
from the beginning.
This account of the more distant
past may well be followed by another
on the history of the house during the
last thirty years. In closing this it is
only Justice to say that few houses
have had, and still have, roll of
members better or more widely
known. Their past and present are
worthy of each other. We all know
the high position and reputation held
by the living president of the COM
pany that the house has become. In
religious and in political affairs, as
well as those of business, We cordially
esteem, and we wish long life to Peter
Cushman Jones. And to the several
other good men in it We also wish long
life, especially 10 that sterling mer-
chant, patriot and philaDtbroplst, who

FOUGHT DESPlTETHE GOVERNOR
Purtcll-.Johnsou Fight Took Place Mt Ga
lena as Scheduled and the Former
Won Handily,

Despite the direct orders Of Governor
Morrill, that no prize lighting should be
allowed on Kansas soil. the Purtell-Johnson
battle came off at Galena Wednesday ey-
ening. as scheduled the sheriff and the
county attorney being witnesses Of the con-
test. and not interfering until after the bat
tie was ended. The result of the hight was
a rather easy victory for Purtell, VINO,
though he was outweighed by thirty
pounds, had all the science and cleverneSs,
and punched Johnson at Will for twenty
Two rounds when he succeeded in knocking
him out. Johnson was big and game. but
knew nothing OF the science Of lighting, and
from the time the men entered the ring II
was only a question Of how long II would
take Purtell 10 do the trick.
When Johnson was carried to his corner
after the Knockout blow had been admin
,stered, the sheriff stepped up and placed
both principals under arrest Later both
were released under 500 bond, to appear for
trial at Columbus on April ~. The general
impression is that their punishment Will be
only nominal as the sentiment In Cherokee
county is said TO be very much in favor Of
