''Hurrah for Capt Mccarthy and
Hurrah for Capt Mccarthy" is all
| that Company D could say last night,
and it was only because the members of
the company were glad to see their. gal
liant captain back again. There was
merry speech and merry singing at the
High Jinks,' and it was all for Capt
Mccarthy, showing the boys appreciate
good and staunch captain.
| The Drill Shed was most appropri
ately decorated for the occasion. About
quarter of the way up from the door
was a partition composed of American
flags, between which was Hawaiian.
Running from this were two strings of
lpennants crossing in the middle of the
space that was set apart as the ban
quet hall and ending at the stage.
The stage was most artistically dec
Grated for the occasion. In the center
and toward the front was a cannon,
on either side of which were cannon
balls. Then to the sides of the cannon
balls were stacks of rifles, bearing flags
with the letter 3D. prominently dis
played. In amongst these decorations
military were the palms and ferns
which serve always to soften the eff
| feet and do away with harsh lines
| Included in the midst of all these
elaborate decorations were the tables
at which were seated the officers and
members of Company D.
| The head table was occupied by Capt
Mccarthy, Maj. Jones, Lieuts Lud-
wigsen and Rowell, Quartermaster
Ashley and Honorary Members G. w.
Smith and Clay. The other two ia
bles were delegated to the good mem
bers of Company d:

In response to the toast of Our

Capt. Mccarthy, George w. Smith
spoke as follows:
Mr. Chairman and Members of Com
pany D:
You have honored me in calling on
me to respond to toast and name,
to which at the present time full JUS
tice cannot be done.
In the history of every nation, of
every people, crisis have arisen which
have been the turning point for that
nation or people.
In every such crisis a leader whom
all could follow and respect, and whom
all trusted was needed, and the time
and circumstances have never failed
to produce the man.
So in the history of this little nation,
with me crisis came the man, and that
he was the one man for the place has
been amply proven by the events which
have followed.
We who live in times contemporary
with the events, do not, and from the
nature of things cannot, appreciate the
many factors that go to make up the
trials, the anXieties of the period we
have passed through; nor do we re-

craftsmanship shown from January,
1898, down through the trying months
that followed, but the historian of the
