Chamberlain, w. r. Harrington, ]. g.
McCandless, T. Give Davies, and A. G..
Halves. The result of the meeting indi-
Gated that there was a desire to begin
active work IN Oahu to collect money
for the memorial fund, in return for
which the souvenir certificates viii be
issued. 1t is expected of the members
of the committee that they will make an
early canvass of the city. They VIII post
sample certificates in the school houses
as an incentive to the young Americans
to aid the fund. Certificates will also be
placed in the banks and in other gather
ing places. and the attention of the pub
lie drawn to them in every possible way.
1t was also requested of the newspapers
that they publish the lists of subscribers
from day to day as received. from all
parts OF the Islands, to give the public
an idea of the accumulation of the de-
sired fund.
1t was also suggested that the news
papers take Up the matter strongly and
advocate accumulation of fund and ask
suggestions as to the form the memorial
should take. Subscription lists are to be
placed In the hands of the committee
men, and the will also re-
ceive subscriptions to the fund, passing
the money and names so received over
to Treasurer c. NJ. Cooke. by whom the
souvenir certificates will be issued.
When the meeting opened w. o. Smith
spoke to the committee on behalf of the
National Mckinley Memorial Committee,
relative to the letters he had received
from Washington, and which were pub
l.shed in the Advertiser on Tuesday. A
resolution was presented by T. Give Da-
vies. favoring the plan already adopted
by the local committee, but no action
was taken. 1t is generally understood
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1901-12-12

that the committee Is in favor Of apply
ing whatever fund IS raised in the Ha-
waiian Islands only to the object first
settled ~upon-that of a memorial to be
located in Honolulu.
Letters from various committees and
t~reasurer's statement were read. The
latter showed that there had already
been accumulated the sum of $560-15.
mostly from Hawaii. Roy II. Chamber
lain suggested a plan of action to st-mu-
late interest in the proposed memorial
He said he had had conversations with
several persons on the subject of the
form which the memorial should take.
One said ne would contribute If a monu-
ment were erected. The next one said
he would contribute If a public play
ground was established. ana for no other
object. One made the same specification
for his donation for a fine fountain. Mr.
Chamberlain said this gagged the public
feeling, and he thought that each person

orably considered by the committee. NJ
Chamberlain said one man had offered
to give $500 If 1t was decided to establish
a playground.
Mr.. McCandless said he personally fav-
ored a public recreation ground for foot

er area for children only. Mr.. Earring
ton personally advocated a public play
ground. He suggested that for active
and telling work in swelling the fund,
there should be additions TO the person
mel of the COMMITTEES. Governor Dole
said he would be glad to have this done.
Mr.. Osborne, a sculptor and mode-ler,
was called into the meeting to speak of
certain drawings he had made for the
memorial. He stated that he had made
three sketches which he would exhibit at
the next meeting. One of them repre-
scented a figure of President Mckinley in
bronze. mounted or a pedestal. which
was elevated on a series of about a dozen
steps. Around the pedestal were several
aliegorical figures representing Hawaii.
Porto Rico, the Philippines and Cuba,
all supposed 10 represent the awakening
of civilization.
Another took the same figure OF the
president, with the pedestal on three
steps, around which were groups OF five
or six figures representing the advance
of the Territories. Still a third sketch
was of a group of figures about The ped
estal. representing the history OF the
Union in the past few years. Mr.. Osborne
was asked to make an estimate of the
cost of such n memorial. The sculptor
could not give a rough estimate of the
cost here. but If it was made In New
York, the cost would probably be some
where in the ~neighborhood of $4,000 or
$50. GOO. The statue would be of bronze,
the remainder of stone.
Another meeting will be held next Sat-
urday at the office of Henry Waterhouse-
Acknowledgement was made to the Ha-
waHian Gazette Company for 10000 OF the
souvenir certificates. the company's do

From Fingers to Forks.

In olden times fingers served well
enough to convey food to the mouth,
and a divided gourd was an acceptable
drinking vessel, but when fashionable
aspirations seized our ancestors they
scorned these implements of nature,
and even the Pacific islanders pulled
their hair, OF which they had a gener-
GUS abundance, in their anxiety to de-
wise more seemly methods. They final
~ manufactured forks that looked like
skewers, and out of the bamboo they
proverbially slow in adopting modern
ways, still eat without knives or forks,
although they have permitted the use
Of spoons. These were first made OF
shells and the rinds OF gourds. Later
handles were inserted, and, having
passed numerous stages. knives, forks
and spoons have reached the present
deliberately ornamented kinds now in
general use.
The cup is probably the most ancient
Of all domestic utensils. It's earliest
form was simply the half closed hand
or the folded leaf. Then followed cups
made of sea shells or rinds of fruit cut
IN halves. Later appeared cups OF
metal, lacquer and china. For centu-
ries the cup has been made the express
sion Of art and luxury, and the most
precious metals, combined with the ar
tisan's most consummate skill, are now
commonly employed in their manufac-
ture.-Baltimore Sun.
