BISHOP & co.'s BANK BUILDING.
CThe Oldest Banking Institution in Honouu)

when it was a year old. Samuel M.
Damon was admitted to partnership in
the firm on September 1, 1881.
When the Bank of Bishop & Co. COM
menced operations it occupied a mere
corner of the office of A. j. Cartwright
in the brick building erected about
1855 on the spot which is now the cor
ner of Queen and Kaahumanu streets.
The handsome building now occupied
by the bank on thescorner of Merchant
and Kaahumanu streets, of which a
cut is herewith presented, was erected
especially for the bank and was Occu-
pied in 1877. During the first year of
the banks existence Mr.. Bishop kept
the books himself and his banking
hours during his tenancy of the old
building were from 9 to 4 o'clock. Mr..
Pats, on entering the employ, took
charge of the books, being succeeded
in that duty on his promotion to part
nership by Mr.. Stillman.
| From that modest beginning the in
stitution prospered until on the thir-
| tieth anniversary, in 1888, the services
of nine clerks were required to trans
act its rapidly increasing business. AS
a matter of record and interest to Ka-

J. II. Fisher, G. Hustace Jr., G Nett,

On August 81, 1892, J. H. Patty with
drew from the firm, and it was then
continued by Messrs. Bishop and Da-
mon together until May 81, 1895, at
which time Mr.. Damon succeeded to
Mr.. Bishops interest, becoming sole

later, when ]. H. Fisher and J. H. Wal

and industrial progress of the Hawaii
an Islands. Its operations began with
the encouragement of the whaling bus
mess, the leading industry of the ISL
ands in those early years of it's civili-
zation. When the sugar industry was
in its inception, as we'll as when large
ly developed. Messrs. Bishop e Co.
again and again proved it's strong right
arm. Once the firm borrowed $500, 900
at the abnormally high rate of interest
of / per cent per month from a San
Francisco syndicate, which amount
was devoted to tiding the planting in
terests over perilous crisis. The bank
made absolutely nothing out of this
transaction, but had the satisfaction of
saving the country by preserving, at a
perilous financial crisis, it's mainstay
| from falling.
The able management of Charles r !.
Bishop created general confidence in
the bank from it's earliest period a
confidence that the public has never
had cause to regret and which soon
placed the bank on the high road to
prosperity. Since Mr.. Bishop retired
from active participation in the man
agement, some six years since, Hon.
Samuel NJ. Damon, the present Minis
ter Of Finance of the Hawaiian Repub-
lie, assumed that responsibility, and
under his conservative and wise direc-
ton the bank has become more pros
porous than ever.

4Ist ANNIVERSARY
Of the Oldest Banking Establish
nlent in Honolulu.
HISTORY OF THE INSTITUTION
Reminiseence cf the Panic Days When
the Bank of California
Went Down.
HISTORY OF THE INSTITUTION

The numerous patrons of the Bank
prised to learn that it was exactly for
ty-one years ago today that Charles r.
Bishop first threw open the door of the
pioneer banking establishment of Ho
nolulu. The door which he opened led
into very modest and unpretentious
establishment, and for a long time Mr..
Bishop was able to do all the business
of the bank with little or no assistance.
But it is from just such small begin
nings that some of the largest financial
institutions in London and Paris have
emerged from ObScurity to control the
finances of a nation in fewer years than
have elapsed since the bank of Bishop
& Co. commenced business. From very
modest pretensions and unassuming
quarters Mr.. Bishop soon built up a
banking business which necessitated
the erection of a modern bank building
for it's accommodation. Within the
past year it has been necessary to
again increase the space devoted to the
banks business, besides adding to the
number of its employees.
The history of the Bank of Bishop
& Co. is identified with the history of
the Islands, no matter in what difec-
tiOn one may turn. 1t has furnished
funds time and again without which
the Government could hardly have
been carried on, and especially has
this been the case since the change
from the monarchy to a republic. 1t
is hard to say what would have been
the financial condition of the Republic
of Hawaii had it not had the advantage
derived from Mr.. DamOn's financial eX-
perience and discretion and the back
ing which his standing in the banking
world carried with it. The finances of
the Government of Hawaii today are
| in better condition than ever before
and so is the business of Bishop & Co.,
the credit being due to the man who
has controlled them both.
| The Bank of Bishop & Co. was orig
inally established on August II, 1858,
| by Charles r. Bishop and w. a. Aid
rich, the latter of whom died in Oak
land, California, in 1893. The banks
| original correspondents in San Fran
cisco were Morgan, Stone & Co., then

titled. Upon his retirement w. G. Raj
ston took his interest and continued
the partnership until he became presi-
dent Of the Bank of California. Then
Charles r. Bishop bought Mr.. Ralston
out and continued the bank as sole
partner until May 1, 1875, when j. II.

They are almost invariably young. for
II is a sad misfortune to have passed
ones twenty-hfth birthday without
marrying in the little colony in New
York's upper east side. Often, too,
they have a wealth Of good looks to
compensate them for the lightness Of
their pocketbooks. Then there are the
parents Of both the young people. their
sisters and personal friends, altogether
perhaps a dozen in the party. They
all look animated and happy. there is a
brave display Of bright colored neck

rings and fresh aprons. The small
shops where they do their ordinary

The whole party journey through all

men look and listen and examine the
goods critically. Everything that the

through false modesty from a critical
inspection of any garment that she
may need. The two most important
articles are the dresses to be worn at
the marriages. A durable and sober

Strange History OF a Spanish Ring.
1t is stated upon what appears to be
good authority that in one of the
parks in the Spanish capital city Of
Madrid a magnificent ring hangs by a
silken cord about the neck Of the
statue of the Maid Of Almodma, the
patron saint Of Madrid. This ring,
though set with diamonds and pearls,
is nevertheless entirely ~unguarded.
The police pay no attention to it, nor
is there any provision made for watch
ing it by special officers, because 1t is
not believed that any thief, however
daring, would venture to appropriate
It to his own use. And, when the his
tory Of the ring is considered, it is
hardly to be wondered at that a super
stitious people prefer to give it a wide
berth. According to the story that is
told Of it, the ring was made for King
Alfonso XII, the father of the present
boy king of Spain; Alfonso presented
II to his cousin Mercedes on the day of
their betrothal. How short their mar
ried life was all know. and on her
death the king presented the ring to
the grandmother, Queen Christina.
Shortly afterwards Queen Christina
died, and the king gave the ring to his
sister, the Infanta del Pillar, who died
within the month following. The ring
was then given to the youngest daugh-
ter Of the Due de M~ontpensier. In less
than three months she died, and Al
fonso, by this time fearing that there
was some unlucky omen connected
with the bauble, put it away in his own
treasure box. In less than a year the
king himself died, and II was deemed
best to put the ring away from all the
living. Hence ii was hung about the
neck Of the bronze efigy of the Maid
Of Almodma, where it appears to be as
safe as though surrounded by a Gordon
Of police.

The Partisan critic M. Jules Claretie
narrates in the Athenaeum an anus
ing story Of the elder Dumas; At the
height of the great novelist's vogue he
could not turn out books fast enough
to satisfy his clamoring publishers, and
II became necessary for him to employ
collaborators, to whom he sketched the
plot, perhaps leaving them to do the
rest. Among the most distinguished
was M. Paul Meurice, who is still liv-

ed age. Thus it came about that NJ.
Meuriee was the author of n Of the
most amusing novels of Dumas, LES

found this novel in a hotel, and opened
It to pass away the time. He began
reading it seriously, got interested in
it and wa amused. Presently some
one came to his room and found him
with LES Deux danes" in his hand.
