FOR OMAHA SHOW
Chamber of Commerce
Will Act for the Islands.
much Interest Shown at a Meeriog Requests
Made-A Committee
Appointed.

Ihe matter of sending an exhibit to
the Omaha Exposition was before the
Chamber of Commerce yesterday. Mr.
OmSted, the commissioner to Hawaii
was present and detailed his requests
and the inducements for making an eX-
hibit. He especially desires a complete
foliage display and presented a list OF
plants which had been compiled by a
landscape gardener OF Washington.
The list includes about every tree,
shrub, plant or flower grown on the
Islands. While all costs of transpor-
tation last year We're paid by the Gov
eminent, this year the Exposition will
bear the expense.
A letter from the State Department
was read by Mr.. Haywood asking that
the project be given hearty co-opera-
ton
Mr.. Dillingham; suggested that
committee be appointed TO form a plan
of operation and submit it to the
Chamber. He thought that the Expo
sition would be good opportunity to
take the first step in securing white
labor for the Islands.
r. w. Single, B. f. Dillingham;, w.
w. Hall, E. c. Macfarlane and J. J.
Egan were appointed as the committee
suggested.
Mr.. Single, who was the Hawaiian
commissioner at last years exposition,
spoke in favor of the exposition and of
sending gOod-siZed exhibit The ben
efits accruing from such a course
would be great
Several members of the Chamber of
Commerce have expressed willingness
to contribute literally to the fund that
must be raised. Mr.. Umsted says he
is well pleased with the prospects for a

Hawaiian Far From Home.

The late Judge Herman Widemann
was much travelled man, was a close
observer and knew how to travel
knowing how to travel is an art. 1t
means getting the most out of the op-
portunities afforded. One of the most
interesting of Judge Widemann's hum
dreds Of anecdotes was this: At a
town in Germany, quite off the beaten
path, the Judge was accosted in Ha-
waiian, with which language he had
been familiar for many years. He re-
replied to the German in the language
of the Islands and quite a conversation
was had in the tongue of this land.
The Judge was asked about affairs IN
general here and about a number OF
the prominent citizens and places OF
this country. Finally conversation
was opened in the German language.
The resident of the Empire then said
that he had never been in the Islands,
in fact had never been beyond the
bounds of his town, but had studied
Hawaii and Hawaiians for many years
He had never before had chance 10
test his knowledge of the language OF
the group. However, he spoke 1t quite
well, according to Judge Widemann.

Much Exciting Tennis for the
Tournament Opening.
The PLAY IN DOUBLES
winners and Losers-Assignma nts for Second
Day-Large Attendance and
Much Interest.

The red and blue flag of the Pacific
Tennis Club futtered in the breeze
yesterday afternoon The waving
standard and pennants and the crowd
of people announced that the tennis
tournament for 1899 was on. The
knights and ladies of the racquet were
greeted by as fair and interested on
lockers as graced the ancient tour
neys when the flower of chivalry en-
tered the lists. Though the sharp wind
tended to destroy the accuracy of some
of the plays, it did not interfere with
the enthusiasm of the spectators. OF
course, there was more or less rivalry
among the different clubs represented,
but for every good play there was UNI
stinted applause from all, and as there
We're magnificent strokes galore the
handclapping and shouts were almost
continuous.
Woods and Miss Hoffman and G.. II. w.
Norton stepped upon the courts. H.
Waterhouse took the umpire's box, and
Major Potter and Minister Mott Smith
watched the lines. The first set was
fought from start to finish. For time
Miss King and her partner were ahead,
but soon the score stood A. The
rapid playing of Miss Hoffman was
winning points rapidly. She was ably
seconded by Mr.. Norton, who was
Miss King also was playing good ten
mis-. Pick-ups, drives that barely slid
over the net, and clever placing in the
corners came so fast that it was diff
cult to watch them all. The next two
games went to Miss Hoffman and
Woods, making the score of the set

The final set went to the same team,
score 6-1. This set was much more
exciting and interesting than the score
would indicate. The winners will play
Miss Hart and Charles Elston this
afternoon, and the match should be re-
plete with brilliant plays
The next contest WAS between Mrs.
Gum and ID. Howard Hitchcock, and
Miss Hester Lennon and Albert Wa
terhouse. The latter team represented
Punahou, and on account of the youth
of the players the sympathy of the
crowd was with them. Little Miss
Lennon surprised the spectators with
her back-hand strokes and pick-ups |
Her partner also put up good game. |

tested than the first. Rallies were fire.

REPLIES MADE.
Data on European Ruling Fami-
lies Secured.

Honolulu, May 9, 1899
Editor Advertiser: Please give your
decision on the following points:
First-Is the Hohenzollern dynasty
the oldest in Europe?
Seconds not the Hapsburg of Aus
tria the more ancient?
Thirds it not a fact that what is
known as the House of Savoy is the
oldest monarchical house in the world?
Cd 1t is stated that the existence of
the stock of this family dates as far
back as the year 500. A second state
ment, and one more generally accept
ed than the first is that the family
springs from Berchardus de Zolorin, of
whom the first historical mention is
that he fell in battle with his brother
in the year 1861.
CD De Gotha says that the source of
the Hapsburg family is recorded to be
Gontran lie Richie, mentioned first as
Count of Altenburg, in the year 925.
The Encyclopedia Britannica says that
the first mention of the family is coup
led with the date 1899, but that there
is fairly accurate knowledge of their
castle or headquarters having been
built in 1920.
CD Humbert I, son Of Bethold of
Saxony, who lived in the eleventh cen
fury, is generally considered by geneal-
-,
family of Savoy. Humbert I reached
the zenith of his fame in 1882 and died
in 104S
The authorities mentioned above.
and Benjamin Vincent's Dictionary Of
Biography OondonD, were the ones
consulted by the Advertiser, and the
persons interested in the questions may
now draw their own conclusions or
pursue investigations further.
