HISTORY EVENING
Two Papers Prepared for
the Hawaiian Society.
First Treaty of This Country With
Captain-Charts of Old Town.

About 100 people gathered at the
Y. N. c. A. assembly hall last even
ing for a public meeting of the Ha-
waiian Historical Society. The pro-
gram announced in advance was for
a paper each by Paul Neumann and
Thos. G. Thrum. Mr.. Neumann was
TO tell of the first treaty negotiated
by the Hawaiian Nation with another
Government and Mr. Thrum was to
round out the late Warren Goodale's
uncompleted "reminiscences of Homo
lulu.
Mr.. Neumann was unable TO attend
the meeting, being engaged in the Cir
cult Court His paper was sent in
however, and was read in satisfac-
tory manner by F. ]. LOwrey 1t told Of
the invasions of Oahu and Kauai by
Russians and of several visits by
ships of Spain and the Argentine Re
public. 1t was with the Argentine
Republic that the treaty was made,
and the representative of that newly
freed country was a brilliant naval
officer whose chief pleasure was sea
fights with yard arms interlocked. He
and the great Kamehameha l made to-
gether handsomely and the treaty
making was a business like and solemn
affair. It's contamination included the
execution ashore on Kauai of an eX-
officer of the Argentine navy by the
captain who represented the foreign
power in making the convention.
Griffith was the name of the unfortun-
ate man and he was shot to death
with his face against the wall of the
fort. This sea general on leaving Ha-
waii, sailed to the coast of California
and devastated Monterey, then a
Spanish city. The treaty between Ha-
wall and the Argentine Republic was
concluded on the Goth of August, 1920.
In closing his paper, Mr.. Neumann
paid a glowing tribute to the memory
Of Kamehameha, who was by the Rus
SLAMS called the Peter the Great of
Hawaii.
Mr.. T. G. Thrum's paper was illus
trated by series of six plates that
were presented to the Society by the
late Warren Goodale. These included
general views of the city from the
Catholic mission and pictures around
the borders of residences, stores and
public buildings. They may be seen
at any time at the rooms of the His
torical Society, Reading Room Build
ing Mr.. Thrum's paper describes the
buildings shown in the engravings and
is valuable contribution to the his
tory of early Honolulu. Its prepara-
ton must have involved hours upon
hours of the hardest kind of drudgery.
Unfortunately Mr.. Thrum could not be
heard in the third row from the front.
At that short distance he was inaudi-
bic. However, this paper as well as
Mr.. Neumann's, will be published.
Votes of thanks were given the con-
tributors of the evening.
DR.. n. B. Emerson, the President of
the Society, was in the chair for the
evening and Rev. C. NJ. Hyde, the
secretary, kept the records.

SAVED HIS BOY.
MIR. ROBERT MCLEOD SPEAKS OF
THE VALUE OF PINK PILLS.

His Little Son Was Paralyzed on One
Side, and Doctors Treatment Seem
ed to Do Him No Good-Dr. Williams,
Pink Pills Were Resorted to and
Effected Thorough Cure.
From the Gait Reporter.
The town of Gait has very seldom
given testimony to the cure of any
disease. Why this is so it is doubtful TO
say, but the probable reason is that the
people are averse to anything of that
kind. The majority of the townspeo-
pie are Scotch, and therefore have i'm
planted within their natures that re-
servation with regard to private mat
tiers which is characteristic of them.
1t was so of Mr. Robt. Mcleod. a gen
tleman who is well known throughout
the town and district. until it was
brought TO his conviction that what
he knew with regard to the curing
properties of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
IN the interests of the public veal
should be made known. Then it was
Yes, l believe that had it not been
for Pink Pills my little boy would not
have been living today. You see. it
was this way: Willie, who is ten years
OF age, was taken with an illness THAT
subsequently developed into PARALYSIS

the best medical aid within my reach.
but nothing seemed to benefit him.
The medicine he took did not seem
TO have any effect on him for good.
He got so bad that a pin could be run
into his left hand to the bone without
his feeling 1t in the least. If he at
tempted to walk he could only ger
over the ground by dragging his left
foot behind him; he had no power in
it whatever One night l was feeling
pretty blue about him. | felt thai he
was going to be an invalid all his life.
and viewed things in their worst
light. On this particular night I put
on my hat with the intention of going
out to take quiet walk, but Just as
| got to the door l saw lying on the
step pamphlet I picked it up list
lessly, and saw it was an advertising
book of the DR.. Williams Medicine
Co. l only read a few words when
the conviction seized me that here was
something that might possibly benefit
my boy. With this thought possess
ing my mind, l at once went down
to Mr.. Ferrah's drug store and pur-
chased box of the pills, and within
half an hour one of them was inside
of Willie's stomach From that day
he began to get better. BY the time
he had taken two boxes the color had
come back into his hand and arm. and
by the time he had taken half doZ-
en- boxes he was permanently cured
subsequently sent him to stay for a
few months with friends in the coun-
try and now he is better than he ever
was before in his life, and as hearty
and strong as any boy in the town.
Yes. sir, l believe Pink Pills are a
wonderful medicine"

RESEARCH CLUB,
Cooperative Coffee Houses and
Tammany Methods.


At the meeting of the Young Mems
Research Club at the home OF Rev. D.
B. and Mrs. Brine last evening, the
subject of a workable coffee or lunch
club for Honolulu was discussed at
considerable length. The plan as sug-
gested at first was for such an institu-
ton, with card tables and a bowling
alley to be on Nuuanu street between
Hotel and the water front Mr.. Lynch
had compiled a paper on the subject
and furnished many excellent ideas.
In speaking to the subject of Tam
many Methods, Rev. Mr.. Brine depict
ed clearly the marvellous organization
of that great political factor. The Sc
cret of success with Tammany is caring
for its people between elections.
The usual refreshments were served
to the young men of the club under the
direction of Mrs. Birnie.

The Hawaii Herald contains the
news of the death of Kaaikea who was
born in 1889. He was 80 years old
when Kamehameha died. He has al
ways retained great loyalty to the
chiefs and carried to the time of his
death tattoo marks on his nose, made
at the time of the death of Kameha-
meha II. He has spent the last years
of his life quietly at his home in Wal

finally succeeded.

Stock Killed.

Natives report that a horse, bullock
and two cows were killed by lightning
in one of the paddocks down towards

but that the other animals were not
marked to amount to anything.

WITNESSES TESTIFY
IN R0SSER'S BEHALF
ALL AGREE THAT HE HAD BEEN
DRUGGED.
Was Unconscious of His Act When
He Shot and Killed Henry Hill
debrand IL the Spreckels
Market.

Youthful Walter Rosser, the slayer Of
Henry Hildebrand, took the witness stand
yesterday in his own behalf He told his
story with downcast eyes and with evil
dent suppressed emotion. He be-
gan from the time he left his
home In the East as a private
soldier and was subsequently transferred
to the hospital corps. He had been down
town but once prior to the day of the
tragedy, he said. On that day he was
paid off, and accompanied by a friend
started out to visit the city. They had
a drink or two, and then he went to see
friend at st. Luke's Hospital. He re-
turned to town In the course of half an
hour and started toward Chinatown. At
Pine street he and Private Notgrass were
enticed into q saloon where they took a
drink and then, against the will of the
proprietor, started out. When he reached
the door Rosser said he turned dizzy and
placed his arm through that of his friend.
That is the last he remembered until he
aWoke in the City Prison and was told
that he was murderer. He was not
cross-examined at length by the prosecut-
ing attorney, and was allowed to leave
the stand after simply stating, on cross
examination, that he remembered nothing
after leaving the Pine-street saloon.
DR.. T. d. Maher, who attended Not
grass on the night of the murder, was
strong witness for the defense. He
said that his patient was apparently suf-
fering from the effects of cocaine or can't
bas indicus, a powerful stimulant to the
brain and nerves. Notgrass, although not
intoxicated, could not walk, he said. He
was suffering from severe pains in the
abdomen, his face was drawn, eyes star
ing and CLASSY and his extremities cold
apd clammy. Joseph Fogarty, steward
in the Receiving Hospital, testified as to
the same facts regarding Rosser. Fogar-
ty said that Rosser was sober as far as
he could see but was suffering, almost
unconscious, from the effects of some I'M
known drug. Dispositions of Leonidas
Polk and L. r. Baggett and the testimony
S. Wagner, Fred Gambella, J. c. Thomp-
son, E. Pattie, f. B. Grace, n. r. Doc
little, NJ. J. Franklin, Ben Harris, Cor
worth all tended to corroborate the con-
tention that the youthful prisoner was
under the influence of poison when he
fired the fatal shot. Additional testi-
mony in this line will be introduced Mon
day, and in all probability the jury will
hand in a verdict on that day.

HARRISoN'S PICTURES.
Twenty Three Canvases Now on Elk
hibition at the Art Institute.

Alexander Harrison, the great marine
| painter, has at present small collection
| of his pictures on exhibition at the Mark
Hopkins Institute of Art.
These works are the grandest and most
surprising examples of the painters art
in many day. Every picture would be
an important one in any exhibition in the
world.
How can Mr. Harrison's pictures be
analysed? Surely they cannot be COM
pared TO the work of any other artist, for
the individuality is too strong. Such
originality, such tone, such breadth, such
color. There is atmosphere and depth and
also that subtle something that makes
a work of art a glimpse of nature.
In his manipulation of pigment Mr.. Har-
rison carries his "fullness of color" to
the verge of crudeness. But his chro-
matte unity is SO perfect that each little
point of light is made to keep its place.
The result is soft richness that pro-
duces a most surprisingly beautiful effect.
In his delicate and forceful Indication of
natural form the artist at once marks
necessary to attain his end, and in this
way gets that broadness and simplicity
that makes his, work characteristic.
H ar s works ks exhtblted: These in:
clude the following: Spirit o.. the Night,
15and EGYPT Po hane Lo bbong
Ships at Sea" "stili Waters. Monterey"
set Fires" misty Moonlight" Flying
Clouds" 1.-The. Golden West. Ma
lures Mirror Breezy Day" THE
Brook" Cray Day, Monterey Marine,
Monterey" 'Dobe," Coming Storm"
OF these THE Golden West is the most
striking. In fact it is almost startling
in its originality. The colors are the
strongest it is possible to use, and the
result is a patch of swirling waters re-
flecting the sunset sky and looking
a bowl of liquid fire.
"Moonrise is a bit of nature. It is hard
to believed that 1t Is produced by paint.
The Coming Storm is, artistically, the
best picture in the collection. Why? Be
cause the artist has succeeded in depicting
that phase of nature just as he felt It,
Each brush stroke is what 1t was in
tended to be: And the color-it cannot
be described. The canvas is nature; ply
steal and metaphy All the objects
solid and liquid, are perfect, and besides
there Is that sentiment the seeing of
which raises us above the brutes The
picture Is only sky and water, but II is
a masterpiece.
Mr.. Harrison's pictures are hung in the
conservatory galleries and show to good
advantage. They will be on exhibition
all of next week and should be studied
by all who love the beautiful, as such an
opportunity will not come soon again.

among the many friends of both gen
tIemen. 1t will be remembered that the
wager REQUIRED the loser to purchase
for the winner a $500 outfit Of clothing.

Major was so sure Of winning that he

TT isn't every one that knows 1t, but
1t is true that the outcome OF TINS
wager will be some small consolation
for my friend, because, you see, nave
derived much comfort and enjoyment
from the wearing of a similar outht

Now l am not that way. 1t Is a real
pleasure for me to purchase clothing
for my friends, particularly so if by SO
doing l can improve their personal ap-
pearance and make them presentable.
Not that my friend Foote is not always
presentable-I would not for the world
