GARMENT

Priceless % Cloak
Destroyed by
Fire.
NATIVES BEFORE
THE FIRE COURT.
Witness Says Relics Are Diamonds
and Gold of the Hawaiian
Islands.

Some very ancient history was I'M
| earthed yesterday morning in an
examination into the value of a feather
cloak, reputed to be worth $4,000, and
which was destroyed in the plague fire.
S. L. PeIeioholani, a descendant of one
of the high chiefs, and a great great
/ grandson of Kamehameha The Great.
was the owner of the garment and he
testified before the court of fire claims
yesterday as to the value of that arti-
Gle, and also of other heirlooms handed
down from generation to generation.
Peleioholanl had a claim of s2.14Oo5
made UP for the most part of items,
valuable heirlooms, which the claimant
said he had refused TO part with many
times. He is the son of PaleiohoIani
and Pukeau. His grandfather was the
son of Kalaniulunoku, who was
grandson of Kamehameha The Great
His grandfather had married Kahana,
daughter of Keeaumoku, who was
the original owner of the cloak. The
latter was a high chief, and one of the
ministers of Kamehameha who bestow-
ed various presents upon his minister's
wife, all of which had been DESTROYED
in the fire, The claimant had been in
possession of the feather cloak since
the death of his father, and told of
many attempts which had been made
to get the heirloom from him. He said
he aad been offered as high as a thou
sand dollars for the cloak, and that
ministers of King Kalakaua had APP
preached him, in an effort to secure !
possession of the cloak for the king |
All these offers he had refused. he said |!
because of the value of the cloak as a |
family heirloom, and ne stated that no !
money could have bought it. At one |
time emissaries had come from the
king and tried to influence him with |
wine. They placed a pile of gold pieces |
at his side, but he refused the tempt
ing offer. The only cloak at all similar
to the one destroyed in the. fire. is now
in the Bishop museum, and experts in
fully sustained the valuation
made by the claimant. of $500, ana ad-
ded that the real value was nearer
81, 000
The claim of Peleioholanf presented
seemingly exorbitant figures, but the
answers of the claimant and his wife,
were so truthful and straightforward.
that they compelled acceptance by the
commission. The principal items con
tanned in The claim are as follows:

NEW VIEWS!

Mr. Melvin VanIman ia now at the
Volcano, where he hopes to get q. photo
which will do the subject justice. His
wonderful photo OF Honolulu, the larg-
est direct photo ever made in the Isl
ands, not to mention the smaller, but
not less perfect pictures of the Pail,
Waikiki Beach, ETC., place him in the
front rank Of his profession. It is not
unreasonable to expect equally good
results from his present trip, which
will include all points OF interest be-
tween Honolulu and the Volcano.
When completed Messrs. King Bros,
who are associated with Mr.. Vaniman,

anything made anywhere, and which
will do more toward advertising the

DICI<IcISI'5 HISTORY,
what IL Northern Soldier WHO Was In tho
Fight Says or II.

Some time ago we published q letter
from Mr.. Augustus G. Buell., Of Il
Northern regiment, in which Tho de-
| scribcd 9 fight between his regiment
and some South Carolina troops, among
whom WAS Kcrshaw's Brigade. Mr..
Buell. has since received copy Of
Dickcrts History of Kcrshaw's Brigade
and speaking of it, he says;
"As | expected, tho History Of
Kcrshaw's Brigade is exceeding.
ly interesting and possesses unusual
historical value am delighted
with the book, and would like to obtain
| copies OF other Confederate histories
OF particular organizations, as, for OK
ample, the history OF McGowan's Brig
ade, by Captain Caldwell, mentioned
by Captain Dickert on page 36l. Can
you aid me or inform nc where that
and any other similar works may be
Obtained.
"Speaking as Il Northern soldier /
say freely that the tono and temper of
Captain Dickcrt's book aro broader
and fairer thun the average Of the
regimental histt rics OF our own side
that | have read.
"l find in looking over my old jour
nal or diary that The name of the Con-
fedcrate lieutenant whom | mentioned
in my former letter as bciuX wounded
at Cedar Creek, is put down as DuBosc.
But | do noS find that name nmong the
officers in Captain Dicl1ert's company
rosters as given in tho book. | am
positive that the troops who charged
our battery were the Sth and l5lh
South Carolina, though there were
some Georgians mixed up with th"m
and perhaps DuBosc WAS one Of the
latter"
