Scarcely two, months. have elapsed
since Mr.. Gladstone with the burden
Of nearly four-score years and ten
upon his shoulder fell peacefully
asleep in Hawarden castle, mourned
by saddened multitude Of admirers
throughout the entire globe. When
the announcement was made that
death had at last affixed its seal to
the life of England's great commoner,
the mind of Christendom turned in
stantly toward Prince Bismark and
Pope Leo XIII, with the Superstitious
fear that they would not be long in
following the lead of Mr.. Gladstone
into the realm OF shadows. SO it has
partially turned out. Prince Bis
mark today lies cold in death at
Friedrichsruhe; while such is the en-
feebled condition of Pope Leo XIII
that he cannot possibly last many
more months. In the judgment of
his physicians he is not apt to sur
vive the present year.
Since the death of Mr. Gladstone,
it is stated that Pope Leo XIII has
expected .momentarily to resign his
priestly office and t. receive his sum
mons to higher duties. For years he
has entertained the idea that the
Heath of either Mr.. Gladstone or of
Prince Bismark would prove the i'm
mediate precursor of his own; and {
low that both Of these illustrious
have closed their
'arthly careers, it is not surprising
hat Pope Leo XIII should feel that
lis time is at hand, and that ere the
resent year ends lie will have finished f
lis course. If such proves to be true,
will invest the present year with
ne of the most extraordinary CON
nnctures in the worlds history; but il
n spite of appearances, it is earnest b
= to be hoped that many additional P
ears may yet be meted out to the L
arriving member Of the great trio. y

A meeting of the Young Hawaiians'
Institute was held at the usual place
last night Although the night was a
bad one there was a good turnout of
members and the meeting was a very
spirited one.
After talking over matters Of inter
est to the society, N. Fernandez, the
outgoing treasurer, read his report on
the financial standing of the society up
to the end of last year. After paying
all expenses, there still remains in the
treasury, the sum of S395.60, a most
creditable showing for the boys The
amount spent was $148.50. OF this sum,
$50 was used for medical attendance on
one of the members while confined in
the hospital, suffering from sore eyes.
Three applications for membership
were read and filed. There are now
about 40 active working members in
the Y H l.

]. o. Carter and wife left on the Ala
media yesterday. Mr.. Carter goes di-
rect to Washington for the purpose of
assisting in the work against annexa-
ton. His wife will accompany him as
far as San Francisco, as he has not
beer in good health for some time and
it was deemed best to have some one
with him during the sea voyage. Mrs.
Carter will then return to Honolulu as
soon as possible.
The scheme of sending Mr.. Carter to
Washington was arranged after it had
been learned definitely that President
Dole was to go to Washington. 1t is
stated on good authority that a very
large sum of money has been assured
Mr.. Carter for his expenses and the
work against annexation.

very neat and timely feature. Geo. L.
Dali, the retiring executive head of
the lodge was called to the front and
properly caned, the spokesman being
Clarence NJ. White. Mr.. Dali was told
that he had done noble work for the

appreciation of his services the brothers
wished to give him a token and COM
panion. The cane is a handsome and
highly polished stick with heavy
head of gold prettily engraved and in

was almost overcome with emotion
but found tongue to claim that he had
only performed his duty and that he
would never forget the members for
their acknowledgment of his efforts
A stirring address was made by the
incoming Chancellor Commander, Geo.
A. Davis He spoke of the glorious
past of the Lodge, of it's present pros
porous condition and of the sanguine
hopes for the future. He called upon
every member to assist the new officers
and for them pledged fidelity and the
closest attention to their various du

interesting manner He was gratified

under the new administration. The
deputy dwelt upon the cordial relations
which existed between the lodges of
the order in the city and throughout

VAIDEMAR KNUDSEN.
The Aged Citizen Had Seen Much
of the World

OF the world.
The. funeral of the late Valdemar
Knudsen, of Kauai, was held from the
Arlington hotel at 3 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. AS he had requested that
there be no pall-bearers, six policemen
were sent by the Government to act
as bearers of the casket. The religious
service was conducted by Rev. Alex.
Macintosh. e. A. Williams was the
undertaken
In many quarters yesterday there
were remarks on the good qualities of
the kamaaina who had passed away.
Mr. Knudsen during his long residence
on the Islands was an especial friend
and helper of the natives He advanc-
ed money to scores of them, but never
took mortgage on kuleana, stock or
house. One of his last transactions
was to give a native who wanted $40
or $50 for lumber for a house, blank
order on dealer. The native took
several hundred dollars worth of mate
rial and was paying the money back
as rapidly as he could

tongue and a man of cultivation. His
life had been until he came to the ISL
ands that Of a wanderer fond Of adven-
ture. He was in California in the days
of 40 and made money as a merchant
Before that he was in business in New
York. He was making a trip across
the Pacific when he stopped at Kauai
and decided to make his home there.
In California in the early days, Mr..
Knudsen was naturally in contact with
the reckless element that flocked to
the bonanza fields. One evening two
men with blankets came to his cabin
and asked for leave to remain over
night. He gave it. They sympathized
with his lonesomeness and he showed
them his pet dog and his six-shooter.
In the twilight they had some target.
practice at tree Mr. Knudsen sent
two bullets on top of one planted by
one of his callers. The men passed
on and that same night were lynched
for an attempt at robbery and murder.
They sent word to Mr.. Knudsen from
the brink of the hereafter that only
his little dog and his craftsmanship
saved his life.
