MURPHY AT
WAlALUA

Francis Murphy and franklin Aus |
tin, of the F.. NJ. T. c. A, returned |
yesterday from a trip to Eva planta- |
ton and Waialua. They went down the |
railroad as guests of Mr.. B. F. Diiling-
ham, who suggested that Mr.. Murphy
visit the plantations and see the man |
ayers of these two important places
before laying out the work for planta-
tions proposed by the association.
Mr.. Murphy said: I'VE were wise in
taking Mr.. Dillinghams suggestion,
and the kind offer of transportation
over his railroad. This is a splendid
island and don't you forget it, God
Almighty made it for himself. These
are beautiful mountains you have here
wonderful lights and shadows-the
finest in the world, 1 can tell you, and
1 have travelled a good bit am afraid
my wife will want to stay here for
good when she comes This is a Won
derful industry you have here.
Il saw Mr.. Renton and Mr.. Goodale.
Fine fellows both of them, and they
wanted Brother Murphy to come down
and speak to the men-bless them.
told them I was here to do some good
If I could, and 1 hoped they would
make use of me. They have got a
fine park at Eva, and beautiful So
cial hall in it, and a church, too, and
fine lawn tennis grounds, where the
young people were enjoying them
selves.
I MIR. Goodale is going to prepare a
place for me to speak, and he is going
to run special trains to the outlying
stations to bring the men in. They
have piano there, and We'll have
some music, too. I think our clubs are
going to be a great benefit to these
plantations. There doesn't seem to be
much intemperance there, but the So
cial life they will encourage will be a
great safeguard if the boys take to
them. l advised Mr.. Austin to take it
easy and let the plantation work devel-
| OPP as we go along. We shall know
! better how to act after these two meet
| ings. 1 am sure God will bless our
work 1 feel very much encouraged"
| Mr.. Austin said: After our visit to
| the country / am more than ever con-
| WINGED that our plan for reaching the
sugar plantations will become popular.
All we need is the inspiring presence
| of Francis Murphy, and that we have,
| for he has promised to stay as long
as it is necessary to go over the whole
| ground carefully, and as long as he
can do good. OF course we can do
nothing unless our club plan takes with
| the men. The initiative must come
| from them. The managers and owners
| can do nothing but give us the oppor-
tunity of speaking to the men, to begin
with, then they can help the clubs
| along afterwards if they are so dis
posed. / believe the managers will be
| disposed to help the work in every
way / was born and brought up on
| sugar plantation, and I know what IS
| needed to create contentment and
happiness among the men, which is all
| that is needed to prevent intemperance.
Our clubs will save many man from
| being fired and oftentimes save the
plantation a valuable man that would
| have to be let out.
| I'VE are fortunate in having two
men from Murphy Hall at Eva plan
| tation, and one at Waialua, and they
are enthusiastic over Mr.. Murphy's
coming. They have felt the pulse of
| the men, and are confident we shall
| have no trouble in organizing clubs.
Mr.. Marphy speaks at Eva on We'd
nesday evening, and at Waialua on
| Thursday evening of next week, after
| which other meetings for the country
will be arranged. 1t is quite possible
we shall arrange to speak 10 the Ha-
waiians at Waialua and Waianae be-
| fore returning to the city, and perhaps
organize clubs.
| On Saturday evening Mr. Murphy
| will speak to the Hawaiians at Ka-
waiahao Church, under TIE auspices OF
Clubs Nos. 2 and 81 Mr.. Kalauokalant
and George Kaia WIZ also address the
| meeting and Moses Nakuina will
translate Mr.. Murphy's address. The
Kawaiahao and Kaumakapili cholrs
will join in furnishing music. 1t is ex-
pected there will be fifty voices. Sun
day afternoon at p. m. the apostle of
temperance will speak at the Young
Mems Christian Association, and Sun
| day evening at Central Union Church,
where his friends of last winter are
waiting to hear him. Mr.. Murphy will
not neglect his boys at Murphy Hall.
He will address them briefly after the
KaWaiahao meeting
