commanders, and his services are very
highly valued

ert of for IS years. afterwards being
transferred to the Northampton, which
he commanded for three years. Mr..
Trask remained commander of two
sailing ships for the same company for
Is years, during which time he sailed
to all quarters of the globe. This ser
vice has been of especial benefit to
him, in giving him thorough knowl-
edge of navigation and seamanship of
practical nature. In 1890 Mr.. Trask

ways reached port in safety. Mr. Trask
has hosts of friends in all parts OF the

Christian Church-SnoW House.
Palama-Iolani.

Last night, one on route for the
reporters seemed very much like
Christmas Eve. 1t was in way for
about 1,500 youngsters. There were
rallies for merry making of the Central
Union, Christian and Palama Chapel
Sunday Schools. The showers did not
interfere with the attendance at all.
The children were all in light cloth
ing and were happy without being too
noisy. They were given royal treats
and enjoyed them hugely.
There were few less than 500 child
rem and adults in the Sunday School
hall and gallery at the Central Union
All were seated at o'clock and were
on the way home an hour later. First
there was a song by all from the hymn
book. Then the Lords Prayer was
repeated, Rev. d. P. Birnie leading A
song by the Primary Department fol-
lowed. Then Miss Cartwright gave
reading that pleased all, especially the
little ones. Miss Johnson of Kameha-
meha sang and was applauded. The
refreshments consisted of ice cream
and cake galore and big box of candy
for each child and two boxes for a
good many of them. Col. Geo. de la
Vergne presided during the evening.
Mr.. w. E. Bowen organized the corps
of walters to serve the refreshments.
The Christian church was crowded.
The place was dark when Santa Claus,
cleverly impersonated by Chas. Rice,
appeared in his snow house. The house
was also designed and built by Mr..
Rice. 1t had a spacious chimney for
ingress and egress and was big and
pretty success. This was the program

Blast Did 1t.

At about o'clock yesterday after
noon, Japanese laborer at the Pali
was struck on the side of the head by
a rock from some of the blasts that
were let off. Quite wound was made
and the Jap was sent to town where
his injury was attended to by DR.. J. T.
Wayson. The man will probably re-
turn to work today.
The mishap was the Jap's own fault.
He should have gone home to the camp
as the work was done for the day, but
he decided to remain and witness the
blasts. He got too near one of the
holes and was hit as already detailed.
