JAMES Il. RENTON PASSES AWAY
QUICKLY.
Popular Manager of Hamakua Mill is
Suddenly Stricken Down in the Hey
day of Brilliant Career.

The death of James Il. Renton, of
Hamakua Mill, on Tuesday last, has
struck Il heavy blow to his many
friends. The death was due to hem
morhage of the bowels and there was
much suffering for two days, but the
end was in peaceful sleep.
Among mill managers, James Rem
ton was regarded as one of the fore
most. Indeed the name Renton and
skill in machinery are synonymous.
The father is principal owner and
manager of Kohala plantation, with
him is his son Henry, and another
brother, George. after a career in Ila-
waii. has just been chosen to manage
the Eva plantation.
Very recently Mr.. Renton lost his
wife. She was i'm poor health and with
hopes for her improvement he sent
her to England. There she failed and
but six months ago Mr.. Renton went
to England only to find at the end ot
an 5000 miles journey that her life
was nearly spent .and she died two
days after he reached her bedside
This shock he had never thoroughly
recovered from.
II is sad to lose so promising a life
for this has been cut off before the
fourth decade had been completed
1t is sad for the father and mother tC
stand by the grave of their stalwart
son, and go on living, when what they
would have gladly laid down thei,
lives for has gone before. But theSC
things have been, are. and will he. ant
we know not why they are.
Mr.. Renton leaves two children.
boy and a girl. the former at school a
San Rafael the latter at St. Diego
With numerous relations they will b,
tenderlv cared for in their trouble.
The body of the deceased manager
was brought to Kohala on Tuesday
December Goth. and the funeral tool
| place on December 2Sth.

THE GRIM HAND Of DEATH A HOME FOR THE ALUMNI
KAMEHAMEHA GRADUATES AND
BISHOP ESTATE.
Trustees VIII Pay Rent on Grounds
and Build Fine Club House for the
Boys.

The trustees of the Bishop Estate
have come to the rescue of the Kane
hameha Alumni in the proposed club
house matter Terms proposed by
the trust have been accepted and a
general meeting of the alumni will
he held in two weeks to finally close
agreement.
w. o. Smith represented the trus-
tees at a meeting of the Alumni held
last evening. He stated that the prem
ises occupied ~ the association be
lOnged to the museum trust. The
rent was $500 per year. The estate
trustees had decided to pay this rent
for the association each year to help
the project along. The Museum trust
would erect the building required on
the property and would let the asso-
citation use it permanently at reas-
enable rental, perhaps SIS a month.
This proposal was far more liberal
than the boys had anticipated. and
I the unanimous sentiment was in fa-
vor of accepting it. 1t means that the
fund accumulated for a club house
can now be turned into other service
and that the whole problem is set
| tied.
Following tha discussion on the
house matter, Mr.. Smith spoke to the
association on the subject of running
a club. telling how it should be carri
ed on socially ard in every other way
He strongly urged that the club steer
+ clear of debt ". y. Armstrong neNt
addressed the association along the
same lines.

NEW LIGHT ON WHARFAGE
AN OLD REGULATION THAT MAY
BE RESURRECTED.
The Arrival of Fourteen Deep Sea YES
sells in Three Days Brings Things to
a Crisis.

The arrival of six deep sea vessels
Thursday, five Friday and three today,
has brought the wharf question to a
crisis. But at the same time it has
thrown light on the subject which
was not seen before.
No one has realized more strongly
than the customs officers that much
of the congestion and delay and the
cramping of wharf accommodations
has been due to the practice of mer-
chants of using the wharves as stor-
age room and warehouses. Ship mas
ters and charterers have tumbled their
freight out anyway to get the vessel
ready to take sugar at the earliest
moment. Merchants and consignees
have not been in so big IA hurry to get
their freight from the wharves. In
fact merchants instead of hauling
their freight away as it piled up came
and picked out the particular packag-
es needed for present use, or ship
ment to the other Islands. The result
is that every wharf is piled up with
freight from half a dozen different
vessels. The discharging officer has
to keep track of it all. and the mer-
chant has his goods stored and guard
ed at the expense of the government.
At least that is the way the customs
officials look at it.
In casting about for some way to
remedy the difficulty an old customs
regulation. which is still in force, has
been found. which provides that evcry
vessel making this her port of desti.
nation shall discharge no more in any
one day than can be hauled away be.
fore sundown. The intention of the
! regulation is that the wharves shall
be cleared every night. reducing the
amount of guard duty to be done ant
the danger of smuggling. The regula
ton has been allowed to fall into dis
use in order to accommodate the mcr
chants. If it were enforced it is claim
ed it would greatly expedite the hand
ling of goods and the discharge ot
vessels, practically increasing wharf
room.
1t is not the intention to enforcC
this regulation Immediately though i
may become necessary. The Chamber
of Commerce NAV take up the matte
in considering the general question

PRATHER REACHES HOME
TELLS HOW HONOLULU PEOPLE
CARED FOR HIM.
Was Shown Every Attention and
Nursed Back to Health-Town Pa
per has a Word.

Many people of Honolulu will re-
member Sergeant prathcr. the gen.
tlemanly young regular soldier who
was taken 50 i'll at this place in tho
early days of the war and for many
weeks lay at what was thought to be
deaths door. His recovery was con-
sidered most remarkable, as at sever
al times the physicians gave him up.
While sick at the Red Cross, the
Queens Hospital and the Military hos
pital ON King street. number of
prominent ladies of the city met and
took especial interest in young Prath-
er. Several of the best families of
Honolulu offered to take him into
their homes to he cared for but the
surgeons would not permit his reno
val. When Prather left for the states
he was comparatively strong. He
reached his home at Hamilton. Ohio,
early in December, and on the sth. his
home paper, the Signal. closed an edi-
torial with these kindly remarks of
the soldiers treatment here:
His story of the kind treatment
shown him by strangers in "A strange
land is more than worthy of the sem
timent which arises in the hearts of
MS friends Wnen they listen to the
thrilling narrative of kind deeds be-
slowed upon the son of an anxious
mother who waited and watched and
prayed thousands of miles away Can
such deeds ever be repaid? Yes, we
| feel there is more than sentiment
! contained in this devotion TO stran-
| ger. The hand that is ever ready to
comfort and protect must also be wait
! ing with due reward. We venture to-
! say there is not happier family in
| the United States today than the ono
so lately reunited by his return. The
| fond. anxious mother who wept still
weeps. but 'tiS now not in sorrow. but
in joy. Her trials have been what
strong men have failed to withstand,
her JOY now is what the stoutest heart
! cannot control.
"Prather is prevented from leaving
| his room on account of the low tenn
perature here, the contrast being too
! great for him as he is suffering with
a ruptured lung, through which he
lost IA quantity of blood"

n Brave Kitten.

The Smith family had never before
owned a kitten. Dogs they were, sell
dom without, but out OF consideration
for Mrs. Smith, who said she could not
bear cat, they had hitherto been con-
tent to worry along with only one pet
1t was only when the mice began to
sdevour the Smiths and their posses
sions that Mrs. Smith was induced to-
] waive her prejudice MI. Smith the
next evening brought home q nice little.
black kitten in his overcoat pocket.
Now, as the Smith family already in
cluded half grown setter dog, a good
! deal Of eun easiness was felt as to the
degree of harmony likely to exist be-
tween the dog and kitten. So
,s The new kitten settled the question
once for all by, insisting on being
friendly with the dog. His beautiful
long ears and his plume-like tail were
never failing sources of amusement to
Kitty, and the dog, like all young
animals, anxious for a romp, forgot to
bark in his anxiety to play. The two.
would romp for hours upon the hearth
rug, and when tired out by the game
Kitty would curl up on the warm fur
of the rug and both would go off to
sleep. It was a funny sight to see the.
tiny kitten and the great clumsy dog
curled up thus together. ID
Kitty was the only cat permitted to
promenade in the Smiths garden
After awhile, when she grew holder
and learned to climb about everywhere,
the kitten penetrated to other gardens
and made the acquaintance of other
kittens. With a kitten two houses be-
yond the Smiths she formed quite a
warm friendship. One day the little
gray stranger wandered down to Kitty
Smiths garden and after looking about
jumped down beside a bed of gerani-
ums. .Fido had been watching and
bounced upon her in minute It
would not be pleasant to think of what
might have become of tabby had not
the Smith kitten darted out of the
bushes and, like streak of black
lightning, descended upon the dog,
Astounded at the wrath of his little
playmate, Fido dropped the kitten,
which made good it's escape. Gazing
reproachfully into the angry eyes of
his little black friend, the dog skunk
away with his tail between his legs,
and Kitty sat down and calmly smooth
ed out her ruff1ed fur.

A GREAT REMEDY.
Greatly Tested.
Greatly Recommended.

The loss Of the hair is one Of the most
serious losses woman canl undergo.
Beautiful hair gives many woman a
claim to beauty which would be utterly
wanting If the locks were short and
ssanty: It's almost as serious loss when
the natural hue of the hair begins to fade.
and the shining tresses of Chestnut and
auburn are ctangedEto gray or to faded
shadow OF their former brightness. Such
a loss is no longer a necessity. There is
one remedy. which may well be called a
great gsss r. remedy by reason Of its great sue
cleansing. the scalp of dandruff, and re-,
storing the lost color to gray or faded
tresses. Dr.; Ayers Hair vigor is stand
ard and reliable preparation, in use in
thousands of homes, and recommended bv
everyone who has tested it and expert
enced the remarkable results that follow
its use. IT makes hair grow. It restores
the original color to hair that has turned
gray or faded out. It stops hair from fall
ing, cieauses the. scalp of dandruf, and
gives the hair a thickness aud gloss that
no other preparation can produce.
