The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1900-11-08

A contemporary speaks of General
Miller as a representative of the United
States. General Miller was the first
official representative of Great Britain
at the court of Hawaii He was a Wa
terloo officer, and after that battle re-
signed his commission and took service
with the South American patriots
against the Spanish, seeing a great deal
of fighting both in Chill and Peru, and
holding high command at the battle
of Aguencho in which the Royalist
power was completely broken and the
Republic of Peru finally established.
After the war General Miller returned
to England and was appointed to the
Fundamentally in Honolulu. He ar
rived in 1874, and remained many years.
He was succeeded by Mr.. Synge, and he
by James Hay Wodehouse. The House
which will be the site of the addition to
Punahou preparatory was occupied as
the British consulate, upon the death of
General Miller, the property reverted to
Lady Hammond his niece. 1t was
leased by the late DR.. McKibbon, and
on the expiration of the lease was sold
to the ex-Queen, from whom 1t passed
to the trustees of Oahu college.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1900-11-08

The great scholars of the victorian
era are gradually dropping off to their
long rest Max Muller whose death was
reported by this mail, was a brilliant
scholar and one of the ablest philolo-
gists of his era. He had the knack too
or imparting his information in a po-
pular manner, and did much to popu-
larlze a subject which the mass of peo-
pie regarded as abstruse. There were
mental giants in Max Muller's day, and
doubtless we have others who will fill
their places and tower in the next CEN
fury as Max Muller and his contem-
poraries have lowered in this.

The review of the Chinese situation
made yesterday in these columns, be-
fore the mail arrived, proved exactly
correct. The Chinese are playing for
time, and meanwhile are determined
to carry out their exclusion policy to
the bitter end. While Ii Hung Chang
and his associates are negotiating with
the Powers, and are putting forward
suggestions for basis of peace which
they know the other governments will
discuss among themselves and not
agree to, the Empress is straining

People used to speak of the phelgma-
tic Briton, but the accounts of the way
in which the Londoners threw them
selves loose upon the return of the vol
unteers from Africa belle the adjective
Enthusiasm is a good thing, but this
boisterous and hysterical saturnalia
which the Londoners have been indulg-
ing in is neither edifying nor dignifed
The Briton need not laugh at the vola-
tile Frenchman any more, for in this
London escapade he has exceeded even
the extravaganza of a Paris mob.

a good Lawn Mower is nowl
Our splendid new model Lawn
Mower has been sold in this
market by us for the past five
years, and we have yet to hear
of the first complaint. Easy to

We have all sizes, from the 1T

We will have something inter-

advise you to use diligently
other garden implements.
