Mr.. TENNEY'S NEW HOUSE.
IS THE FINEST RESIDENCE IN
HONOLULU.
Emblem of Convenience as Well as of
Elegance-An Ornament to the
Plains District.

''It is unquestionably the finest resi-
dence in Honolulu" said Architect c..
b. Ripley this morning, speaking of
the new home of E. d. Tenney on the
plains.
This building, which was opened
and named Kukuilani (the Light from
Heaven), last Saturday, is two
story structure, modification of the
Colonial style, in having broad pro-
jections to the caves, making the
house look more tropical and at the
same time cool and inviting.
There is wide veranda on two
sides of the building In front of the
main entrance, Pensacola street side,
is the Porte Cochere. Between it and
the house is a porch with a cement
floor, and between that and the lanai
is "A terrace, also having cement
floor. Back of the porch is an L shap-
ed hall, leading to the inner apart
ments and to the stairway. The plat
form of the stairway is over the en-
trance from the Porte Cochere.
The parlor and dining hall. the first
rooms approached inside of the house,
open on the hallway referred to and
the very large verandas. They are
both very large. Just inside, to the
right, is the reception room, finished
in japanese style. This is really one
of the prettiest places in the building.
All of these three apartments can be
thrown together by simple folding
doors.
The main lanai in front is "a feet
by 2S feet, which makes it one of the
very largest in the city. The veranda
running around two sides of the house
is ten feet wide, making a beautiful
promenade. The main walls of the
front rooms are finished with high
wainscoating and the ceiling of wood
with big beams.
In the house are six large bedrooms,
a smoking room, three bath rooms, a
Kitchen. etc, besides the halls above
referred to. Below is very large eel.
Lar, containing an extensive laundry
and wine room. The plumbing in
the hose is the finest ever brought
to Honolulu. In this particular Mr.
lenney spread himself.
Primarily the one idea of the house
is-convenience. In reaching this OBJ
Ject, however, a building of attractive
architecture and most beautiful finish
has been turned out. The house is \
real ornament to the CITY.

SUIT FOR DIVORCE.
DR.. Lung of the Philadelphia Seeks a
Separation.

A late Chronicle says that DR.. Geo.
y. Lung, surgeon of the cruiser Phila-
delphia, has brought an action for di-
vorce against his wife, Elizabeth
Lung, on the ground of intemperance.
Both parties are well known in Hon
olulu.
The couple were married in Phila-
delphia in 1885, and subsequently
went to Vallejo, where they resided
for several years. The husband alleg-
es that his wife became addicted to
the use of strong drink eight years
ago, and she has frequently at home
been so much under the influence OF
liquor that she was unable to per-
form her household duties. He fur
ther asserts that she boarded several
warships to which plaintiff had been
assigned to duty and so conducted
herself as to excite comment and hu.
when the Philadelphia was at Honolu.
lu, DR.. Lung AYERS in his complaint
that the defendant went ashore and
returned in "A gross state of intoXica
ton, to the injury of his standing in
the navy and causing him great men
tai anguish.
Mrs. Lung, who, through her attor
neys, Knight G. Heggerty, will file q
cross complaint, denies the charges OF
intemperance and seeks decree or
statutory grounds. She says that a
Honolulu she announced her intention
of bringing an action for divorce wher
she returned to this state, but her hus
band left her at the Islands and an
ticipated her action by filing a com
plant in divorce at Vallejo. He also
caused to be taken the deposition o.
two of his chums on the Philadelphia
but singularly failed to make depo
sition himself before leaving porr

LIKES ISLAND SECURITIES
BOSTON BROKER is EXAMINING
INTO THEM
Robert Strahorn Talks of the Islands
in Their Financial Aspect-Has had
Wide Experience.

mo wonder one gets such contradic-
tory and inadequate ideas of Hawaii
before coming here" said Robert A..
Strahorn of Boston. There is so
much here: there is so much profu-
sion both in your vegetation and your
life. 1t must be seen to be appreciat-
ed, and studied to be known"
Mr.. Strahorn is spending the winter
in the Islands largely for his health.
Though not novice as traveller
what he has seen since his arrival on
the Miowera has aroused unbounded
enthusiasm
He began newspaper career in Sc
dalia, Missouri, soon transferred to
Denver, then on the frontier and a
place of only $500 inhabitants. He
was with General Crook during the
Sioux campaign in which the Custer
massacre occurred. first as the repre-
sentative of the Rock Mountain News
and later as the representative of the
New York Times and the Chicago Tri-
bune. At this time the whole region
from Bismarck, Dakota, to Bozeman,
Montana, and from Cheyenne to the
Arctic ocean. might be traversed
without finding white man unless
he were an Indian trader. Now near
ly the whole region is covered with
a network of railroads and thousands
of towns and villages.
Following this campaign he organ
lied the literary and advertising de-
partment of the Union Pacific railroad
the first department of the kind ever
maintained by railroad. Eight or
nine years ago he went to Boston and
engaged in business as a broker, deal
ing largely in municipal bonds and Sc
curities. 1t was not unnatural from
his experience in this line of BUSINESS
that when he came here, saw the re-
sources of these Islands and appreci-
ated, from seeing, the Importance of
their geopraghical position, that his
interest in Island securities should be
aroused.
"The war loan of 5000, 100000, ten
years, three per cent bonds. was sub.
scribed five times over, and the bonds
are now selling at 1O7. Many munici.
palities in the east are borrowing mon.
ey at three and half per cent. The
United States is full of money seeking
Investment. The bonds of the Hawa.
iian government it seems to me ought
to find ready sale in the United
States as soon as people become ac.
quainted with them. am speaking
now as a stranger, and without know.

form myself on the subject.
Hawaii is at the cross roads of the
coming great lines of travel. and with
cable so as to get rid of the
sense of isolation. Americans will

away. And with increasing informa.
tion there will grow a demand for al
kinds of good Island securities. al

in the Islands to take up good invest

SPECIAL TERM ORDERED
WILL BE EXTRA SESSION OF THE
SUPREME COURT.
Chinese Habeas Corpus Matters Have
Sidetracked Other Business-Dam-
age Suit.

"By virtue of the statute in such ca
ses made and provided, and deeming
it necessary to the promotion of JUS
tice, it is ordered that a special term
of the supreme court of the Hawaiian
Islands be held in Honolulu, Island of
Oahu, in the court room of said court,
judiciary building, commencing at 10
o'clock a. m. on Monday, January 9,
1899, to be continued and held from
the opening thereof until and includ-
ing the 18th day thereafter, Sundays
and legal holidays excepted"
The above order was issued by Hen
ry Smith, clerk of the Supreme court
this afternoon. Chinese habeas cor
pus matters have taken so much time
of the court, that a special session has
been made necessary.
Returns and replications to returns
in the last batch of habeas corpus ca
ses were the order in the supreme
court this morning. Four different
papers were filed.
Henry Birch has entered ejectment
proceedings against Manuel Thomas
for the recovery of small tract of
land in the old Kukanaka plot, Homo
lulu, which he claims by inheritance.
He also asks for damages for deten-
ton of the property in the sum of
$1,000. The case will come before the
jury term in February.

ADVICE FOR NEN COMERS
GEO. II. DE LA NERGNE GIVES IT
IN HIS NEW BOOK.
Hawaiian Sketches" Proves Brilli-
ant Little Booklet With Bright De-
scriptions and Weird Tales.

For good advice to intending emf
grants TO the mainland of Hawaii, the
words of George de la Nergne in the.
introduction to his Hawaiian Sketch
es' are to be commended. Mr.. de La
Nergne says:
Hawaii is not new country. Ame-
rican capital has been there for many
years, and the various lines of indus
try have been fully developed. 1t is
not the place for a man with small
capital and large family. The sue
cess of the coffee industry is not yet
assured, though it is possible that a
young man with some capital and u
fondness for seclusion and a rural
life might succeed at it. There is un-
doubtedly room for men in Hawaii
who have money to invest. For in
stance, Honolulu could well afford to
have few first class hotels. But Ha-
waii is by no means klondike of new
possibilities for the American labor
ing man. mechanic or farmer"
The little book, however, is not a
dissertation upon economics. but a
series of bright sketches interspersed
with poems and sonnets of high de-
gree of merit. The sketches vary
from the actual description of trips
about the Islands, to imaginative and
legendary stories. The account of the
Trip to the Volcano, the leading piece,
is very witty and bright. so is the
"Saunter Through Honolulu which
describes some of our most salient
street scenes.
The "Ghost of the Heiau' is very
gruesome and is told with power,
while the Legend of Haleakala" is
interesting. There are also two excel
lent character sketches, Sun Shee,
which describes little Chinese girl,
and Manuwell Souza. which shows the
traits of the Portuguese lighthouse
keeper at Nawilwili.
Without making any pretentions the
little book is an addition to the litera-
ture which is gathering around the
Islands. The book is on sale at Wall,
Nichols Co. Price, rs cents.

PANORAMA OF BETHLEHEM.

The prettiest Christmas scene in
Honolulu is the Panorama of Bethle-
hem on exhibition at st. Louis College
every evening. The panorama occu-
pies the entire stage in the assembly
hall. In the foreground is the Beth
lehem manger, and the Holy Family.
To the left is the city of Bethlehem
and beyond the country stretching to
the Lake of Genesereth. Throughout,
the Brothers who designed and exc
cuted the work have kept as closely
to the actual topography of the coun-
try as was possible. A water wheel
and a fountain have been introduced
to give a more realistic effect.
At night when the whole scene is
lighted up by electricity the effect is
very striking.
