Oahu Plantation Company stockhold-
ers are receiving copies of the report of
Manager Ahrens and officers of the
company, for eight months, ending Sep
TENDER 80. 1897. A very satisfactory
showing is made. Work in all depart
ments has been rushed TO the extent
that the expenditures for labor, mater
ial, supplies, etc, amounted to 1857, C16.
President Hackfeld takes occasion 70
compliment the manager on the cor
duct of the enterprise up to tlace. The
present quotation of the stock in the
market at a handsome prmium was no.
ted. Col w. F. Allen, the auditor, rad
inspected the books at the plantation
as well as at the company city offices
and found the accounts in good shape.
Manager Ahrens mentioned the oper-
alton of the new pump as quite up to
all expectations. A bargain mas teen
closed for two more large pumps. The
one pump in place Is now lrrigating in
the neighborhood of 1000 acres. Gem
ment is made on the fact that Planting
was delayed on account of preliminary
happenings that could not have reen
avoided. Figures are now being made
on the mill for this big plantation. Ne
gotiations viii not come to an end till
the most capable men are satisfied that
there is to be installed a plant which
will do the work properly.

The San Francisco papers report
very heavy weather on the harbor bar
of that place on December S. Such seas
were never seen there before. The
Aloha from this port, was almost
swamped. The pilot, captain and crew
were several times driven into the rig
ging to escape the great volumes Of
water that went dashing over the
decks. The Annie Johnson from Hilo
is another vessel that had very rough
time crossing the bar on that day.

MAKAWELI, Kauai, Jan. 19.-The
annual ball of the Makaweli Lawn
Tennis Club came off last Saturday
evening at the plantation social hall
and was pronounced by all present a
thorough success.
Invitations had been issued TO all the
friends of the club in the district and
that they appreciated the efforts of the
members to provide a nights enjoy
ment was testified by the exceptionally
large turnout In addition to those
resident on Makaweli there were pres
ent from Koloa Mr.. and Mrs. Crop;

whom as we'll as to all the ladies who
assisted in the decoration and refresh
ment arrangements the members of
the club would express their thanks.
Dancing was commenced at p. M,

Morrison and Mrs. Cropp, and after
the first seven dances was served in a
prettily decorated lanai temporarily
erected by Mr. Morrison for the occa-
sion on the lawn tennis court adjoin-
ing the hall. Here the cold turkey and
other good things provided were soon
put out of sight and a return made to
finish the program.
The dancing hall presente pretty
appearance through the kindness of
Messrs. Gay and Robinson in provid-
ing materials and the labors of the
members and friends of the club in
decorating it at which great deal of
taste was displayed in arranging the
Lawn Tennis Net, Rackets, etc, in an
effective manner. A considerable num-
Der of the guests spent the night with
friends on the plantation while others
enjoyed the drive home in the moon
light, one and all agreeing that they
had spent right jolly night and that

bers, had had far surpassed all its
previous efforts at entertaining its
friends.

Something About the People Who
VIII Take Part - VIII
Arrive Today.

Frank UngeT, private secretary IL
Harry Gillig is a guest of Mr.. w. w
Dimond at his Waikiki residence. Mr.
Unger is one of the prominent members
of the Bohemian Club of San Francisco
and is himself a thorough Bohemian
For the past eight years he has accom-
panied Mr.. Gillig on all of his jaunts
making in that time four complete
/ tours of the globe.
Mr.. Unger is musician of some note
and very clever artist in water col
ors. Some sketches made by him on
the Zealandia on the way down are
spoken of highly by some of his fell
low passengers who had a view of
them. In speaking of the concert TO
be given here on Tuesday next by
Donald de V. Graham Mr.. Unger said
yesterday:
"Mr. Graham is a deservedly popu-
lar young man in California who has
earned a reputation for himself by
! his willingness at all times TO assist
! by his services at any of the charit-
/ able entertainments gwen in San Fran
cisco. He has not yet denied a re-
/ quest of this kind and the people of the
/ Bay City are very fond of him in con-
| sequence. He has made several trips
with Mr.. Gillig and has sung himself
/ famous wherever he has visited.
THE program for the Christmas
! High links at the Bohemian Club
/ few weeks ago was entirely of Mr.
| Graham'S getting up, and it is I'M
necessary to say that it was the most
successful in the history of the club
/ He sang "Erl Koenig" and was en-
| cored a half dozen times; that, you
know is a favorite song of his, in fact
the San Francisco people don't care tC
hear anyone else sing 1t. L am sure II
will be on the program here and that
his Honolulu audience will be well
pleased As to Mr.. Gillig, well, he Is
| not a professional, but his voice and
| his method would bring him favoc-
/ able recognition before the most crl-
! teal audiences. He has volunteered
| to sing for Mr.. Graham solely through
! friendships sake and, If possible as
/ sist in making the concert a success
Mr.. Gillig has been here number OF
times since 80 and there are few peO-
/ pie here he does not KNOW anu VIM w
not know him at least by reputation.
Mrs. Marquardt is unquestionably
the premier harpist in the profession
at this time. She has been heard
here before and 1 am told scored a
success. She is a great favor1te IN
California. in fact wherever she aaS
appeared she has been given an ova-
ton. She is down for couple or more
solos l believe in Tuesdays program.
| am told that her last performances
were in a small hall here; her solos in
such a theatre as you now have in
Honolulu should be even more appre-
ciated From an artistic standpoint I
have no fear of the success of the en-
tertainment and I am pleased, for Mr..
Graham's sake, to see the seats selling
so rapidly.

were fine Libraries at Athens and Rome.
Alexander the Great founded Library at
Alexandra, in Egypt. 1t was one of the
greatest that had been founded prior to
that time. 1t is estimated that there were
over 700. 900 volumes in the Alexandria
Library. This Library was burnt up by
order of the Mohammedan Calph, Omar
in the 9TH century, A. d., and an infinlty
of treasures were destroyed, which doubt
less gave much information of the world $
history that is now lost.
The large Libraries of modern times now
number 1871: these all have exceeding
100, 900 volumes. The largest Library IN
the world is the National Library at Paris,
which has >. 7Ol 972 volumes at the latest
report. The British Museum Library III
London is the next in magnitude: 1t had
| $50 600 volumes; the next in magnitude
* at Munich, Germany, having 200, 600
volumes. The Imperial Library at st.
Petersburg has LOG, 600 volumes, while
our Library has something over 93o,o0O
volumes. TO describe our Library properly
would require volume. 1t has been
growing in importance for a great many
years under the immediate supervision Of
Mr.. \. r. Spofford. who has been in
charge for 81 years, and for the last y
wears has been ably assisted by Mr. David
Hutchinson.
To Senator Voorhees,, of Indiana, more
perhaps than any one else, is due the credit
of the present magnificent building, for he
worked for years persistently and indefatig-
ably to obtain Congressional sanction to the
plans OF the Library and the necessary ap-
preparations for its building. The whole
construction and entire responsibility under
Congress was given to Gen. Casey, who
took charge October, 1888. Gen. Casey
died March %, 1896 This work will
stand to his credit as the browning glory
of IA useful and valuable life.

The New Library.

The new Congressional Library, which
is now being completed, is the finest build
ing that ever has been built in the world
for Library purposes. The body of the
building is of pure marble, the steps,
porches and balnstrades are of granite and
marble, and the interior decorations of gold
and fresco, adorBsd lavishly with paintings,
busts and statuary. The great dome of
the building is covered with beaten, pure
gold. 1t is estimated that the aAoupt of
gold that was put upon the dome exceeds
SIG, 600. The building is the most com
plete, perfect, convenient and beautiful
Library building in the world, and has cost
exceeding So, 500, 900.
The first Public Library, of which we
have any record in history, was situated in
