University of Missouri President Jesse
said: Il intend to devote more of my
time to social duties. Come to my
home, gentlemen, whenever you feel
inclined, and | will be glad to enter
tain you, but | have one request to
make: when you come, don't talk uni
versity affairs or politics. Gentle
men, l beseech you to refrain
from discussing political questions.
You can not afford to do so, and thus
forget your studies. There is one thing
l wish to emphasize: l do not wish to
see students c~Ongregated in group on
the campus discussing the financial
question. | request the faculty to set
a good example, and refrain from talk
ing politics. As far as voting is on
cerned, | wish to you. |
intend to vote myself according to my
honest convictions, and l will gladly
excuse any students who wish to go
home to vote, no matter at what dis
lance they live"

THE SUMMER SCHOOL.

Hawaii is always bound TO keep pace
with the times, and no movement OF
late years in educational circles has
been more gratifying or more indica-
tive of progress than the establishment
OF the summer school for teachers
which opens its first session today. The
necessity of some organization to
bring the teachers of the different ISL
ands into closer union has been appre-
ciated for some time past. Associa-
tions have been formed in Honolulu
and throughout the outside districts,
and they have met with a varying de-
gree of success. Some are still in ex-
istence and the members keep up their
interest in the gatherings, while others
have gradually passed into state of
innocuous desuetude and remained in
that condition until under the influence
of a returning spirit of enthusiasm
they have been revived for short time.
In the summer school, however, the
teachers of Hawaii ought TO find a suf-
ficient renewal of enthusiasm, gained
by coming in contact with colaborers
and receiving new ideas from various
lectures, to give new impetus to the
local teachers organizations, and re
newed interest in their work on the
part of individual teachers. The num-
Der Of teachers already gathered in the
city gives promise of success so far as
attendance goes, and the personnel of
the faculty is assurance that there will
be nothing lacking in the character of
the instruction. At the outset of this
new departure, for this country, there
is every reason to predict a successful
term of midsummer study, the bene-
fetal effects of which will be felt in
every school in the land.

WEDDING BELLS.
Robert More and Jane Lishmau Made
One for Life.
Ceremony at the Home of the Brides
Parents-Receptiou and
Dance Afterwards.

Long will be remembered the festivi-
ties in connection with the More-Lish-
man nuptials at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. R. Lishman, the brides parents,
on Keaumoku street, last night, on &C
count of the good time that was af-
forded the two hundred or more guests
present.
The ceremony which made Robert
More and Jane Lishman one was per-
formed in the reception room at 7:3O
p. M, by Rev. Palmer, in the presence
of the relatives and a few invited
friends alone. Chauncey Wilder acted
as best man. and Miss Maggie Lishman
as maid of honor.
Soon after eight o'clock the guests
began to arrive, and at $50 they were
still coming. Standing in the recep-
ton room to receive them were Mr..
and Mrs. Robert More, Mr.. and Mrs. R.
Lishman, Mrs. Wilson, Miss Maggie
Lishman and Chauncey Wilder.
After the festivities Mr.. and Mrs
Robert More left for Alma Cottage at
Waikiki, where they will spend their
honeymoon, leaving for Pepeekeo on

ing they received from Father Bond.
IN the counsels of the mission he was
leader whom it was always safe to fol-
low, and his influence over the Ha-
waiians was marked and uplifting.
Careful in all his efforts, indomitable
in his efforts, kindly and CHEEKY to all
honest endeavor, his personal force Of
character impressed similar character
istics upon many of his people. OF late
years. when laid aside from active la
Dor. his interest in every good work
was as warm as ever; and as means
came to him from the industrial enter
prises he had started, he gave most lib
orally to the many objects of Christian
benevolence that called out his sympa-
thies. He win be sorely missed, not
only in the district of Kohala, but in all
the higher activities and interests of
life at the Islands.

look forward to the morrow? These
are the Inen who are looking principal
ly after the interests OF their own peck
etbooks and are forgetful of the future
OF the country. There are still other
planters whose nationality prevents
them from being enthusiasts over the
prospect of the American flag floating
over the Islands. Blood is thicker than
water, Notwithstanding the close
friendship between different nation
alities.
On the annexation question the plant
ers of Hawaii may best be divided into
three classes: Those strongly in favor
of annexation, those who are indiffer-
ent so long as times are good, and
third, those who for one reason or an
other dislike the idea of the United
States holding complete and absolute
sway over Hawaii The first class is
made up of men who have always been
prominent in the political and CONNER
eial progress of the country They
stand at the helm of Hawaii's progress.
The second class follows the easiest
road. Let the United States repeal the
reciprocity treaty and they would whip
around into the annexation line with a
rush. The third and last class is where
the Chronicle wants to put the ma
jority, but it will never include the
majority
The goodly minority to which Mr..
Castle refers, when its influence and
strength is taken into consideration
is best classed as the strong majority.
It is made up OF men who are ready to
push forward and make personal sacri-
fees if necessary for the welfare of Ha-
vail. They are men ready to face diff
fcult problems and are not so weak
minded that they fear there is no way
out OF the silurian darkness of contract
labor. They are active, long headed,
solid business men who never turn their
heels and run when facing a business
difficulty. They have struggled with
the political problem and have become
firmly grounded in the belief that an
nexation is the only true solution

REV. ELIAS BOND.

By the death of Father Bond of
Kohala another sad break is made in
the ranks of the noble men and women
who made up the advance guard of the
missionary workers. In reviewing the
life and work of this devoted Christian
we take pleasure in quoting the follow
ing tribute from Rev. C. NJ. Hyde. who
is one Of the most active in carrying
forward the grand work inaugurated
by Rev. Elias Bond and his associates:
Mr.. Bond was a man of remarkably
correct judgment and of unusual exec
utive ability. Thoroughly devoted to
the Masters work, he never spared
himself, and the sufferings from rheu-
matism which with wonderful fortitude
he has endured for the last ten years
were doubtless occasioned by exposure
incurred in the labors of a pioneer mis-
sionary's life. The 5000 natives of fifty
years ago have dwindled to $500, but
the work Of the missionary fathers was
of such permanent character as never
10 lose its value The Native Church
was built under his superintendent.
and largely with his own hands. The
Seminary for Hawaiian Girls was even
more his own creation. The roads thar
traverse the district were laid out and
worked by him The sugar manufac-
ture, which is now the chief industry
and extraordinarily profitable, was
originated by him to furnish occupation
to the native population.
For many years he had a family
school for BOYS. and many prominent
Hawaiians owe their success in life to
the sound instruction and careful train

department. / am pleased to say that
he freely endorsed my actions here.
You know that my relations with
this government have been most cor
dial since my arrival except when
carried out the preemptory instruc-
tons given me by Secretary Gresham
that act was for the good of this people,
but they did not understand it at that
time. / did exactly what believe Sec
rotary Gresham or President Cleveland
would have done and l am pleased to
know that it was satisfactory to the
head of my government.
But better than all of this was the
action of my Democratic friends in
Kentucky. Ten years ago when / was
in Congress l espoused the cause Of the
Postmistress of Louisville, widow
with crippled child. My action then
was not endorsed by the party, but |
won the case and she retained her COM
mission. At the next primary election
votes l received more than were cast
for the President When | arrived at
Chicago there was a delegation of
friends there wanting me to run for
Congress. When / got home found
the Democratic papers advocating me
for the district. had represented it
in Congress for five terms. Ten years
ago, as l have stated, after the affair
referred to, | was defeated. | was glad
to find this time that all the i'll feeling
had departed from the men who OPP
posed me before; it was especially gra-
tifying under the circumstances, but
had other matters which occupied my
attention and was obliged to decline.
''After a pleasant visit among old
friends we left for Hawaii, taking
plenty of time to make the journey
across the Continent without having to
rush"
There is one matter, Mr. Willis, in
which the people of Hawaii are greatly
interested Could you tell
from remarks made in Washington
what the real feeling is there?"
THAT is subject which 1 must de-
cline to discuss. Naturally a. great
many persons spoke of it, but am not
at liberty to speak of it-you must ap-
preeiate my position in this respect.
But in the State Department, Mr..
Willis, is the feeling for or against such
a move on the part of the present adj
ministration?
II can say this much, | never heard
the subject of annexation mentioned
there, mean in the State Department,
during my visit"
