Painfully But Not Seriously
Injured

For q period Of about ten hours
last night, the life of Alex Hatcher
hung in the balance, as the result
Of an accident, which befell him,
about 6 O'Clock yesterday after
noon. After quitting work, he
went to the barn at the rear of
Myers & Liitge's tailor shop, and
started to lead q horse which he
kept in the barn to the fountain
near the power station on Third
street. As he came out Of the
alley leading the horse, . youth
who was standing in front Of Hsr-
mons, thought it would be huge
joke to scare the animal, and ac-
cordingly he picked up q clod Of
dirt and threw it at the torse
striking il on the flank. This
naturally frightened the animal
and it started to run away. Young
Hatcher pluokily held to the halt
or rope, and had the snimsl
nearly quieted, when the horse
suddenly turned and kicked at
him. The boy attempted to get
out of range of the vicious animal
but was unsuccessful, the horses
hoof striking him on the jaw, at
the point which is sought by
pugilists in endeavoring to deliver
knock out blow. Hatcher fell
to the ground bleeding profusely
from an ugly wound extending
from the point Of the chin to the
corner of the mouth. Pedestrians
who saw the accident, carried the
luckless young man to his home
over Myers & Liitge's tailor shop
and medical aid WAS Immediately,
summoned. DR. Chapman res
ponded, and after making q
thorough examination found, that
although no bones were broken,
several front teeth were broken
of, and he had grave apprehen-
sions for the ultimate termination
Of the accident, owing to q severe
shock to the base Of the brain.
The boy remained in an uncon-
scious condition until about 4
O'Clock this morning, when he
rallied, since which time he has
been gradually recovering from
the effects of the shock, and this
afternoon the indications are that
he will have speedy recovery.

Austin's Hawaiian weekly. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1899-190?, 1899-07-08

Sewall, the American Agent, in graceful, flowing
terms spoke at some length on)the feelings of the
day, of the gratitude, pride AM faith in American
manhood and the ability of the American nation
to surmount every obstacle.
Referring to Honolulu as all American COM
munity Mr.. Sewall went on to point out how these
islands were the only American community the
flag has found in its newly acquired possessions;
community which has been over half century
bred to the principle and reverence of American
laws The thing we have to say is this-great
and welcome as is the prosperity that has come
upon It's, and awakened these Islands to new life
which is only a harbinger of what is to come
welcome as is this prosperity, we want none of it
at the cost of the extension here of those laws and
of that Constitution For these are your birth
right into which you want to enter and to enter
now Welcome as is this prosperity, we want
none of it if it is to be secured only by evasion
of the responsibilities of American citizenship, or
by the sacrifice of the guarantees of the American
Constitution, even though those guarantees affect
only the humblest toilers of the land
But we hail the day, hail it with JOY beyond
expression, beyond all other joys we have ever
KNOWN when that Constitution in its every lire
and letter shall be proclaimed here the supreme
law of the land, proclaimed clearly that he who
runs may read, and when under it there shall be
enacted American laws, for the lawabdng self
respecting, self-governing Americans, of an
American territory

HaWaii'S First Fourth of July.

by the Hawaiian Islands marked new epoch
i'll their history, the speaker congratulated the
people OH the happy elimination of their political
independence before the close of the nineteenth
century
The Rabbi recapitulated the events of the 123rd
year of American history-the Spanish A1nerican
Wharf.-The addition of this group to the mainland
and expressed his belief in the speedy defeat of
Aguinado and the Inauguration of the new policy
OF expansion which will bring in its train larg
err, grander future to us all.
The thorough democracy of the volunteer army
of the recent war was mentionet-wealth mess
ing with poverty--cuture with rude manners
education with illiteracy. The point was strongly
brought out that if our war with Spain had done
no more than prove to the world that as Ameri
cans love of gain has not stunted love of senti-
ment nor blunted Our more noble and heroic
senses, was well worth the cost.
The tremendous and undreaned of strides
made by America i'll the cause of liberty leave yet
heroic work to be done in strengthening the bull
warks of liberty The speaker after unfolding
vigorously the principles of the Declaration of
Independence and the trainers of the Constitution
showed that the love and loyalty of the nation
could best be shown by performing our political
duties and urged his hearers to let the Fourth
of July mean dedication to the cultivation of
higher civic duties-to pledge themselves to
assist in all public affairs thus assuring blessing
on every recurring anniversary. He depicted in
glowing terms the future of the American nation
helped by such aspiratiorn-tl1e privileges Hawaii
now owned as portion of that Nation and closed
his Grafton with the following words: May Our
flag forever float as the emblem of the highest.
noblest, purest promise to the Anglo-Saxon race
that sooner or later one common tongue and one
common purpose will unite the greatest people all
over the world. The orator made permanent
impression on his hearers. OF striking presence
and splendid voice he has an earnest and at times
fervid manner of thought that is most convincing
and impressive.
