RECOUNT THEIR NATIONS GLORY.
Followers Of Stars and Stripes
Hold Sway at Inde-
pendence Park.

The first item in what proved to be
the grandest celebration of events in
the early history of America and late
history of Hawaii this country has ever
had, was the ball at independence Park
on Friday night. In the point of pleas
ure it has had no equals.
Invitations were literally distributed,
and under the excellent management of
Theo F. Lansing, DR.. M. E. Grossman,
w. Porter Boyd, Walter F. Dillingham;,
George G. Potter, George H. Paris, DIR.
c. B. Cooper and F. J. Semmes of the
U. S. S. Adams, the affair passed off in
the most satisfactory manner.
The promenade music was furnished
by Al Rosens' orchestra, and that for
the dances by the favorite Kawaiahao
Club. But the desire for dancing was
so uncomfortable that between each
dance there was an extra, so that one
band played quite as often as the other.
The floor at IL o'clock was uncomfort-
ably crowded, there having been about
200 invitations issued.
When the intermissiOn for supper
was announced DR.. Grossman proposed
three cheers for the United States of
America. They were given with a vim
that shook the foundations of Diamond
Head. 1t was the intention of the COM
mittee to have the guests discuss thef
elegant meal prepared by Mr.. Krousei
but the attendance was so large that
the plan was not feasible Gentlemen
provided for their lady friends and ate
with them in the main hall.
At the termination of the following
dance list, Theo F. Lansing, the floor
manager, asked for three more cheers
for the Republic across the sea:

nations were in the harbor, and the Of

ties won taking the inside of the

fired his pistol and the boats were of,
the Healani's getting the water first
and pulling steady stroke When
opposite the Inter-Island wharf the
Myrtle boys seemed to go grabbing and
it looked from a distance as though the
Healanfs would score a winning, but
the red shirt boys were pulling all the
time. At the Light House the Myrtles
were on the lead and they kept il leav-
ing the Healanis so far behind that
when they turned the buoy they de-
cided to slack up rather than beat them
too much. When passing the Light
House on the return the Myrtles crowd
ed the Healanis almost to the extent
of a foul, and 1t was thought the pleas
ures of the race would be marred by
the incident. AS the crews pulled by
the wharves and steamers, which were
crowded to their utmost capacity with
people, deafening shouts of encourage
ment went out to both crews. But the
Myrtle's lead was too great and the dis
tance too short for the Healanis to
overcome. The Myrtles crossed the
line 1873 and the Healanis in 1924.
Ross of the Healanis reported the foul,
but said the crew would not claim it.
The water event that attracted the
greatest enthusiasm among the Hawaii
ans was the race between the crews of
the Police, Jail and Pilot boats, with
the latter rather the favorites. Mar
shall Brown confident as the beating
Jailor Lows crew was rather doubtful
as TO the strength of Pilot McCauley's
boat boys, but he was ready TO tackle
any crew on the water with such men
as Kaiele, Kupahae, Halelau, Haumea
and Pinihaka. They won such vic
tory over Low at Pearl City that they
had no fear as to the result of this
race.
The Pilot crew was composed OF Nc
Cauley (coxwain), Bob, Pakala, John
Kai. Nui and Apaki.
The Jail crew was II. Cockett, Kau-
lahao, J. Manase, Makaipo and Eugene
Devauchelle.

course. McCauley middle and Low the

MILITARY AND CIVIC PARADE.
Bright Fire of Patriotism CLOVIS
Throughout the
Land.

History and events in the new Hawaii
will hereafter date from July 4, 1896,
Just as a man says such and such an
affair happened before or after the
twins were born. A celebration of the
birth of a Republic so young as is Ha-
waii could not be had on grander
fact that large part of the population
wanted to celebrate the day in man
ner exclusively American was in no re-
spect a drawback to the thousands
whose aim was to make the Hawaiian
portion of the celebration something
that would be remembered for ages to
come. There was no attempt at out
doing anyone or anything except pre-
vious occasions, and the result was sat
isfactory beyond all expectations, for
every one who took part in celebrating
the 120th anniversary of the indepen-
deace of the United States joined in
the festivities which made the ami
versary of the birth of the Hawaiian
Republic memorable. The procession,
the fireworks and the sports were all
that anyone could have wished for, and
to the various committees in charge the
greatest credit is due.

speech and announced the order of the
day
The opening song Columbia the
| Gem of the Ocean was led by Miss
Grace Richards soloist with piano ac-
compartment by Prof. Richards. Miss
Richards was in excellent voice and
carried the solo in a spirit that reused
the enthusiasm of the audience. The
chorus "Three cheers for the red, white
and blue" was sung with a vim that
made the rafters ring.
| After the invocation by Rev. T. d.
| Garvin the Declaration of .Indepen-
dence was read by A. L. Morris. The
''Star Spangled Banner was rendered
by the Hawaiian band.
VI Major u. K. PangbOrn was very
pleasantly introduced as the speaker
of the day. Major Pangborn is an old
time speaker and his address has been
generally referred to as the best that
has been given before a Honolulu
Fourth of July audience in many years.
The speech in full was as follows:
This anniversary day is one whose
celebration ought to be, to all who are
here assembled, and l doubt not is,
doubly welcome and joyous.
To those of us who are American
citizens, and who find ourselves, for
reasons either of a business, or pleas
ure, or knowledge seeking nature, in
these far away, delicious Islands of the
wide Pacific, beneath the sunny Ha-
waiian skies, amid the fragrant and
luXuriant products of this genial soil
and the balmy ocean air, here where
bounteous Nature smiles perpetually on
her children where earth and air and
sea and sky seem to join in inviting to
pleasure, peace and rest; to us this day
comes as a reminder of the birth of our
prosperous, potent, progressive Repub-
lie, and we greet and commemorate
this anniversary of our Independence
Day with pride and gladness.
To those who are citizens of this, the
latest born of the republics of the
world, and to dwellers beneath the Ha-
waiian flag, this is also an anniversary
that affords ample occasion for happy
present congratulations and high hopes
of a prosperous future for Hawaii.
To Americans and Hawaiians alike
this July Fourth is, by common con-
sent, a conspicuous mark, a signal
tower in the onward and upward path
way of popular, free government.
1t marks the date of the beginnings
of experiments of a government of the
people, by the people and for the peo-
pie.
The American Republic was not, in
the strictest sense, the first of these eX-
periments or attempts to establish and
maintain government by popular con-
sent.
Greece had her plebiscite, but it was
defective in it's scope and the expert
ment of suffrage was brief and inef-
fective. Rome also had, prior to the
Empire of the Caesars, it's trial of a
republican form of government and
popular suffrage, but this also had in it
the elements of its own disintegration
and ultimate and sure decay.

The day was truly Hawaiian as to
weather and though the sun shone
bright, the trade winds cooled the at
mosphere to a degree that made even
the marching a pleasant pastime. Nor

prietor Of the street sprinklers, sent his
wagons out at o'clock and gave the
streets a sprinkling which settled the
dust

Mrs. John Farris died yesterday morning seven miles east of the citl, under peculiar and distressing circum- stances. She and her husband are but recent arrivals, coming here from Ken lucky about four months ago. They leased the J. A. Vinson farm in Cart wright district and started in with en- ergy to make their way in the country.
 The wife, it is said, unknown to the young husband, had become devoted to the use of laudanum as a palliative for pain. Yesterday morning the hus- band went to his work as usual, but was soon summoned back to his home by a lad, with the news that his wife was ill. When he reached the house he was too late and he could only watch till death came, which was with in half an hour. In the room was a half bottle of laudanum, it being be lieved that the woman had taken at a draught the balance of the contents.
 It is not believed that Mrs. Farris took the laudanum with suicidal in- tent, but simply was not aware of the quantity that would prove fatal.

COMING OUR WAY.

There is never great loss without some small gain and in times of loss and depression how very eagerly do we grasp and make much of the grain of comfort Alkire's are, during these good goldbug times offering many grains of comfort for few grains of silver. The most remarkable of their recent bargains is in figured summer silks, which they are offering at 15 cents per yard. Whoever before heard of good grade of silk being sold for 15 cents per yard? Why, at this rate every daughter of Eve in Arizona can have silk dress. Well, after all, who has any more right to dress in silk than Arizona femininity? Alkire's are willing and would enjoy keeping a few clerks busy for a while exchang- ing silk for cash at the rate of a yard for every 15 cents.

Provoked a Speech.

A good story is told of the way in which a New England senator was once aroused to make a,stirring speech. At the outset of his political career he had been known as a remarkably clever orator of the stump" and later on, in the lower house of the legislature, he made brilliant name for himself. But when he became a senator he ceased talking, much to the regret of his friends and admirers. Finally the liquor law came up for discussion, and the wife of friend of the senator, who was much interested in it's passage, was greatly disappointed to see that the brilliant man had no apparent in- tention of joining in the discussion. She sat dowe and wrote few words on a sheet of paper, which she inclosed ir an envelope and sent by :, messenger to the senator. Do speak! Even Ba- laam's ass spoke once!' This brought the senator to his feet and elicited one of the best speeches he ever made.

A TOM HOLLAND STORY.

Uncle Tom Hollands latest about the virtues of the, water of the Castle Greek hot springs is that certain miner who bathed therein a few times found upon his feet a pair of socks that he did not know he owned. Now the managers of the park swimming baths make no such claims as the above, for to begin with they allow no such
 bathers. The tank is kept strictly clean and the water likewise by ire quent changing, while the temperature is just as it should be. Ladies are ex- clusively received on Monday and Wednesday mornings and ladies and their escorts in the evening of Tues days and Fridays. Water always deep enough for swimming.
