FRIENDS OF THE FOREST.

Last Monday evening the members of Lincoln Lodge No. 2 F. of F., gave what was designated as "a character and hard times party in Washington Hall. There was a good attendance, good music and many handsome young ladies and gentle men, who greatly enjoyed the programme of dances that ha~ been prepared by Mesdames BlackaH, Trench, Waldo, Gin gles and Howard, and Misses PoetZ and Mayors, the committee on entertainment. While it was denominated "a hard times party" the many handsome costumes that were worn by those in character, particularly those who appeared as gei- shas and gypsies, contradicted that term, for in hard times such handsome cos tunes are not in vogue. The gypsy camp was a decideu feature of the entertain ment.
 Pioneer Lodge has completed all it's arrangements for the cascarone party, which is to be given in St. Georges Hall on the 30th inst. This lodge at its last held meeting had an initiation and re- ceiVed two propositions.

NOANNUAS OPEN GAESSpRME COURT DECISION money FOR RED CROSS
MR.. AND MRS. S. NJ. DAMON'S
CHARMING RECEPTION.
The Army and Navy in Whose Honor
1t was Given, Well Represented
Ideal in Every Way.

Moanalua is an ideal place for
such "a social gathering as was given
there Saturday afternoon. And in
cordiality of welcome, excellence of
arrangement, exquisite hospitality
and generous response TO generous in
vitation, Miaister md Mrs. s. Mggsas
mons reception in honor OF the ar
my and navy was in perfect harmony
with the place. Mr.. and Mrs. Damon
may well feel gratifed at the distinc-
tive success achieved in entertaining
so large a company. The people of
Honolulu can certainly only feel
pleasure in the remembrance of the
charming social amenities of which it
was the occasion and opportunity; and
lively anticipation when it is known
that Moanalua's gates are to be
thrown open for similar gatherings
more frequently in the future.
The army and navy was well repre-
sented. Nearly every officer whose
duties would permit it, was present;
and thus was afford. too rare in the
past, opportunity for society to meet
them in the pleasantest possible way.
To the house in which Kamehameha
with much of the most romantic and
interesting in Hawaiian history, Mr..
and Mrs. Damon have added appurte-
nances that make it perfect country
residence. Within and without it
bears evidence not alone of taste, but
of an appreciation of what is in the
strictest keeping with the spirit of
such an establishment, coupled with
the technical knowledge to make it
harmonious and attractive. The eX-
tensive and well kept grounds breathe
the idea that Moanalua should be not
only a country home for its owners
but place of enjoyment for their
friends; and that while neglecting
nothing to these ends it should be Ha-
waiian as well in all that is beautiful
and pleasing and harmonious in Ha-
waiian life and history.
How well this idea has been achiev-
ed the several hundred people who
accepted Mr.. and Mrs. Damon's invi-
tation for last Saturday. know.
The first train brought number of
prominent and distinguished guests.
Among them were President and Mrs.
Dole, General King, Colonel Barber,
Lieutenant Colonel Stacpole and Com
mander Taussig. In execution of a
pretty idea just as these guests alight-
ed the band played the Star Spangled
Banner, and the American flag rose
to the peak of the tall flagstaff.
Mr.. and Mrs. Damon received on
the lanai, and under the skfllful mag
ic of their welcoming hospitality the
grounds We're soon crowded with a
company thoroughly at home and en-
joying itself.
An excellent dancing pavilion had
been erected, strillingly decorated
both with bunting and flowers and il
was not long before the younger peo.
pie were thoroughly testing it.
In every way the affair was most
charming.

EXCEPTIONS IN THE RUTTMAN
CASE ARGUED.
The Suit of Zerbe Against the Repub-
lie of Hawaii for Alleged Back Sal
airy on Trial.

In the supreme court this morning,
\. S. Humphreys sitting in place of
Justice Frear, argument was heard
on the appeal of George II. Ruttman,
on exceptions taken from the Fourth
circuit Paul Neumann made the
'Irgument for the defendant and At
f6rney General Smith and his deputy,
+. p. Dole, for the government. The
cause was taken under advisement.
At 1880 p. III. the court took up the
case of II. Zerbe against the Republic
of Hawaii for an alleged balance of
wages due him as assistant appraiser.
Underthe statute this is one of the
cases in which the supreme court has
both original and final jurisdiction.
Justice Whiting is the author of a
supreme court decision handed down
this afternoon and concurred in by
the chief justice in the case of Joseph
Flores, Jr., Maria Bento and Joe Ben
to VS.. j. Maka, an appeal from the cir
cult court of the Fourth circuit. The
rule laid down by the court is that
an action to quiet title under Chap
ter 1S, Session tLaws of 1890, is an ac-
ton at law, and judgment at law
should be entered up when the case
is decided. A decree in equity in such
action is error, and the case is re-
manded to the circuit court to revoke
and annul the decree entered, and to
enter a Judgment on the decision rem

WHAT f. b. McSTOCKER SAW IN

Series of Farms and Villages Ex-

Collector General McStocker return
ed with his family on the Kinau, he
from his official tour of inspection of
the customs service on Maui, and his
family from visit to the Big Island.
Mr.. AIcStocker found everything in
good shape in the customs service,
and incidentally got the benefits of
an outing from his trip. He found
himself particularly interested in the
coffee districts, not financially but in
its relation to the problem of the fu-
ture development of the Islands.
The coffee district of Kona is be-
coming a series of small farms and
villages for miles," he said this morn
ing. 81 think it is demonstrating that
there is a place in the agriculture of
Hawaii for small farms and home
steads. There is room and opportuni-
ty for it. OF course if a man puts his
whole area in coffee he will have to
wait for his returns. But the land
will grow anything. Bananas grow
luXuriantly. Potatoes and all kinds
of vegetables can be easily raised. OF
course there is always the question
of a market. But am speaking of il
