VALUED PRESENT
ESkbank Given to Mr.. and
Mrs. S. G.. Wilder.
Brief History of Building Home
How Father Kept His
Promise.

On Monday last arrangements were
completed by which the beautiful
Wilder home, Eskbank. on Judd street,
was given by Mrs Wilder to her son
Samuel G. Wilder, and his wife a
bit of the history of the building of the
home might not be amiss in this con-
nection.
One Sunday morning in the month Of
September, 1880, and when the Wilder
family were at their home in Waikiki
Che present Young residence) the
children who were playing on the
beach, sighted the wreck of the Esk-
bank off Diamond Head.
The late S. G. Wilder ordered his
horses harnessed at once and inform
ed his family before leaving that he
intended buying the wreck and that
with the money he made therefrom a
fine home should be built for them
Then he went into town and out to the
wreck on a steamer. Negotiations were
not long pending and the wreck be-
came the property of S. G.. Wilder.
The returns were we'll worth the
trouble and the money obtained there
from was put into the home which he
faithfully promised his family TO build.
a house was soon started and the
beautiful home on Judd street given
the name of Eskbank. In the mean
time Mrs. Wilder and her children had
gone to Boston and upon their return
there stood their home the creation of
the best architects of that day in Ho-
nolulu.
There is just q bit remaining to close
this brief history of Eskbank. Above
the front entrance to the home is the
stern piece of the Eskbank, with the
letters forming the name that is so
beloved by the Wilder family.

MONWAR IS HAPPY.
VIII Meet an Old Friend in New
Minister to United States.

Minister to United States.
Hon. WI Ting Fong. the newly-ap-
pointed Chinese Minister to Washing
ton, is a fellow-clanman and old-time
friend of n. Monwar, in the office OF
Paul Neumann, attorney.
By the steamship Peru Mr.. Monwar
received a letter, from which the fol-
lowing extract is taken:
''Wu Will leave Hong Kong on the
18th of this month and arrive in Ho-
nolulu on the steamer Gaelic, due there
April Sd. He will be accompanied by
the Embassy, comprising more than &C
nigh officials of the Chinese Govern
rent. During his short stay in Ho-
nolulu the Minister Will pay his re-
spects TO the officials of the Govern
ment of Hawaii Among the members
of the suite will be DR.. Ho Kai, bar
Tister as well as physician, and whose
sister is the wife OF Ng Choy."
The present name OF this high Chi
nese dignitary was gi en- him at Pc
king. He is Il man OF acknowledged
ability as a lawyer, and was admitted
anu DIdCJlCcu ldN III IOluOIl, NliCIl
place he left in 1874 for the purpose Of
settling in Hong Kong and practicing
his profession. In 1876 he was appoint
ed by Hon. Sir John Pope Hennessy
as Acting Attorney General, position
which he ably filled for a year.
In 1877 he was appointed Police Mag
istrate and member of the English Par
lament in Hong Kong. He adopted
nl n of
and it is believed that he is entitled
from his official prominence to wear
silk. He is great English scholar, an
able lawyer and diplomat, and the
honor conferred upon him as Minister
to the United States is one of the best
in the gift of his Government.
In 1874 Ii Hung Chang rendered him
a high position. which he declined to
accept at that time, but in 1881, when
he was again pressed to take it, he did
so. Two years ago he acted as secre-
tary TO Ii Hung Chang, when the lat
ter, as Commissioner, negotiated the
treaty of peace between China and Jap
an. Later he was asked by his Govern
ment to change the treaty at Chez Foo.
On February 9th last. a Chinese man
o'-war was placed at his disposal by
the Governor of Canton for the pur-
pose of conveying him to his home in
Sun Wal District of See Yup. After
visiting his ancestral tombs and tenn
pie he will return to Hong Kong and
take the steamer for the United States.
Mr.. MOnwar is delighted TO know
that his old friend has received such
high distinction from his Government,
and anticipates great pleasure during
Ng ChOng's short visit here.

Peru Sails.

The Peru sailed at p. m. yesterday.
The Pacific Mail wharf presented a
very gay scene with the band in the
background and the many people on
shore waving goodbye TO their
friends. After the gong had sounded
and the gang flank been hauled down
of the city and several young men
came hopping out and landed on the
flank just in time to get ashore. Then
came a throwing of leis by passeng gers
to friends on shore and the Peru haul
ed out into the channel amid the vari-
Gus national airs played by the band.

It is, or should be, the highest aim

Women Find Them Very Useful In
supervising "Crowders."
THAT hat PIN" said young woman
on the elevated, as She arranged her
headgear, reports the Chicago Times
Herald, "has been stepped in gore!"
"How awful" whispered her friend.
'Was it employed on burglar?"
mo; on a crowder."
"a what?"
"a crowder is creature who is pc
culiarly "a Chicago product. certain
ly never met him in any other city.
He is the man who getsinto a car where
every seat is occupied and crowds him
self into the merest scrap of room be-
tween two persons; generally two wom-
en-, who dare not resent his imperti-
hence. Then he coolly reads news
paper" ....
1--WE met the specimen often, but
what can you do?" inquired the friend.
"Well," said the athletic young wom-
an, "if 1 had been man would have
bounced him from the car. Butin that
case he would not have crowded. Idare
say i looked as meek as Moses, but I
had scheme to get even and worked
it. 1 took out my hat pin and gave Mr..
Crowder a jab.p
did he jump"
"Not at first, so jabbed again. The
car gave lurch and he yelled Muir
der!' in the first degree and rushed out
and off without asking the conductor to
stop. I'm glad saved the hat pin, as
I may need it again" she concluded,
sweetly, as she impaled her head with
the vicious thing.

As there was not the slightest vibration
he tdok courage and ventured into the
dark passage. Here. the report goes on,
he had been stumbling along as best he
could, when, after ten minutes passed
in the total darkness, and being, as he
Judged, near the center of tha tuSnel,
he heard the distant rumbling of an
approaching train.
The noise grew louder behind him,
and Popa ran; louder still, and Popa
raced. 1t was via dolorosa with the
small point of daylight far off amid the
darkness, and if he could win to it, then
il meant life, safety and bride, but the
thunder of the train grew ever nearer.
Fortunately the gradient was steep
one, and the express was called ex-
press by courtesy only, and the race be-
,ween the man end death terminated at
the tunnels outlet, the man winning by
about his own length.
I The mercifully sluggish "schnellzug"
passed into the daylight as the bride
groom fell PROSTATE on the bank.
When he had started he had dark brown
hair; when he arrived at the brides
house it was white as the brides veil,
The lady, however, accepted him on the
Somewhat dubious grounds that the
hair would come all right in time and
that the injury was covered by insur-
ance."

The facts Of history vindicate us

our brave men fought and suffered and
died. and our holy men of God prayed
and our noble women suffered patiently
and patriotically all the privations and
horrors OF a great war, cruelty forced
upon us. for the purpose Of upholding
the constitution Of theIUnited States, as
preserving the rights OF the several states
to regulate their own domestic policies
and Of protecting the people against
spoliation and robbery by a dominant
ajority."
