GENTLY Carried out.

!
. cientiy Carried cut.
The musical and Evolutionary
entertainer given by the mem. .
beers of the Hagey social club, at
the Institute parlors on Saturday
I evening last, was very successful
in every way. Over 100 people
were present, prominent among
visitors being Hon. Alex. Young,
Hon. j. A. Magoon, Mr.. Geo.
Weight, manager of Kahuku plan
tation, and Mr.. Black of the Homo.
lulu Iron Works.
The meeting was called to order
by president Geo. Harrison, vice.
preside mt Mehrten assisting. Mr..
Harrison made few remarks re-
lative to the condition of the or
ganization and welcomed the visi-
tors and members.
Prof. Yarndley and Master VIM.
Hall rendered a violin duet in
very excellent manner. Mr.. John.
son gave performance on the
banjo, Frank Wilburton sang solo
and Prof. Yarndley played beau
.tiful solo on the violin. The Profes
sor's abilities are too we'll. known to
Nneed comment. Remarks were
made by Horace Wright, Geo.
Harrison, r. S. Scrimgeour, Prof.
Edwards, Frank Metcalf and John
Sheldon; and by Messrs. Young,
Magoon and Wright. Mr.. Young
said that he was agreeably
surprised at Inc excellent condi-
ton of the social clubs affairs,
the appearance and enthusiasm of
its members, and that he believed
more firmly than ever that larger
and more commodious quarters
we're needed. He believed that the
Institute should have building
of its own and that the same
would be secured in the near
future. He gave a very apt illus
tration of the benefits of the
Hagey treatment in the form of
an anecdote; a laborer was re-
turning from work in the hay
field, bearing in his hand pitch
fork, when he was attacked by a
vicious dog. He defended HIM
self by ramming the tines of the
implement through the animal
Immediately placing it hors du
combat, The owner of the beast
appeared and began to expostulate
saying that he believed the man
should have used the other end
of the pitchfork and thus have
driven the dog away without kill
ing it. "Ah," said the man, $50 l
would have done if he had come
at me in that manner, but as it
was his sharp end which l was
forced to fight | concluded it re.
CURED sharp weapon"
The comparison was obvious.
Many people are continually talk
ing of Kidding themselves of the
quor habit by simply quitting,
but they never do SO. The will
power which they proposed exert
ing may ward off the evil effects
for the time but it is not sufficient.
The Hagey treatment is the sharp
weapon which effectualIy winds
up the career of the whiskey dog.
Mr.. Young concluded his remarks
by saying that the members might
be assured Of a building, a
statement which was received with
much applause by the members
and their friends. Mr.. Cowart
then rose and stated that that was
the best news he had received
since he had been in Honolulu.
1t had been intimated by few
that as soon as the promoters had
obtained all the money which
they could draw from the people
here they would leave the Islands
with it; that that was their only
object. He desired to state that
he and Mr.. Kirkpatrick were
willing and anxious to place every
dollar which they had received
here into the Honolulu Institute
and that he now made the offer to
let Honolulu people purchase a
controlling interest in the bust
ness, the money received from
the sale of said interest to be
