as one of it's representatives at the
Omaha exposition. Besides attending
to the setting up Of the Hawaiian ex-
hibit and being personally on hand at
all times to answer questions about
Hawaii, Mr.. Logan somehow finds time
to furnish the Omaha press with val
liable articles, of which the following
are selected among many such:
HAwATs GREAT SCHOOL.
Among the different royal lines of
Hawaii were some men and women
whose names are entitled to place In
earth's honor scroll. One such was
Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop, de-
scendant Of Kamehameha the Great.
This was the king who, at the begin
ming of this century, succeeded in the
enterprise Of bringing all the islands
OF the group under his own undivided
rule. Previously each island had been
a separate sovereignty. The Princess
here mentioned was the wife OF Chas.
r. Bishop, an American, who had ar
rived young at Honolulu and by dill
gence and frugality, became the pio-
neer banker of the islands.
Mrs. Bishop declined to accept the
nomination of Kamehameha ", on his
deathbed, to succeed him on the throne
of her ancestors. She wore the white
flower of a blameless life and, dying
in 1884, left the bulk Of large landed
estate to found and endOw schools for
native Hawaiian boys and girls. They
we're there to be not only instructed
in the usual branches of common and
high schools, but taught to earn a
livelihood with their hands in various
lines of handicraft. The schools have
long since been firmly planted and the
estate behind them has increased so
greatly that it is a serious problem
what to do with the surplus income.
Among the leading sights of Homo
lulu are the groups of buildings OF the
Kamehameha schools, on a command
ing site in the Palama suburbs, whence
a fine view Of mountain and ocean,
with the city lying between. Is to be
had along with the accessory OF pure
air.
Mr.. Bishop, now a resident Of San
Francisco and vice president of the
Bank of California, has poured out
wealth literally to enhance the pros
perity and distinction Of his lamented
wife's benefaction. He has erected the
principal school building, great mu-
scum fabric and q chapel upon the
all in memory Of, and named
after HIS departed spouse. These struc-
lures are all of stone quarried on the
premises and are not surpassed for So
li1ity and style by the best buildings
in American cities.
The museum will easily take rank
as the first in the world for the rich
ness and variety Of the Polynesian
relics and curios 1t contains. 1t Is
shortly to have as an adjunct vast
aquarium for all the fish of the Pacific
that can be got into 1t.
CHILDREN'S HANDIWORK.
Among the most interesting of the
in the Hawaiian exhibit,
which has been assembled by Daniel
Logan in the Colonial building, Is that
specimens of workmanship
Of young Kamehameha boys In the ma
chine, blacksmith, carpenter, turning,
and tailoring shops OF their
institution. Accompanying photo
graphs OF the interiors of the shops,
as we'll as of other scenes in and about
the school, give a clear idea of the
of the institutions
and the hOmelike atmos-
phere in which the boys live. They
have a brass band, cadet corps and.
last but not least. the champion base
ball club of Honolulu. Another ar
ticle exhibited is the gold medal won
by the school at the Paris exposition.
In the western booth containing the
school display are also
shown by all odds the finest collection
Of sea shells in the whole exposition,
Ave assorted boxes OF land shells and
sets of Hawaiian ferns and MOSES. A
superb set of ferns, duplicates Of those
shown, had to be reserved from exhibit
lion for want Of space. This set Will
be shown on request OF Mr.. Logan. The
sea shells had to be insured heavily for
their safe return before the collector
and owner, ID. d. Baldwin OF Haiku,
Maui, would consent to lend them to
he exhibit.
HOMEMADE THREAD.
Another article of great interest has
leen added to the Hawaiian CONNER
,ial exhibit in the eastern booth. 1t Is
, pyramid of spools OF sewing thread
from Hawaiian-grown
,ottOn when the war OF the rebellion

rophy has been exhibited on both
tides of the glObe-once at an exhibit
ion In Toxic. Japan. II Is contributed
o the Greater America exposition by

chamberlain OF the
household at the overthrow OF the
monarchy.
The second installment Of the ex-
,ibit Is hourly expected from San
