to me before he left here on his way to
Europe. Nor did ne wear crepe or
speak in mournfui tones when he de-
cIared his intention OF passing his re-
manning days amid the gaieties OF the
old world. and far from the roar OF the
surf at waikiki. This is an old story.
and almost before Lycurgus sailed from
New York it was printed in the col

echo of the passing Greek from the
chilly East which will amuse and en-
terrain those who know the former be

ing to the fact that the health of the
head of the party is the first considera-
ton, and what may be done here or
how long be spent must be governed by
the effect upon her condition. Should
the climate prove grateful there is ev-
cry possibility that the visit may prove
one which will not be ended before late
in the summer. Just as indefinite are
future plans which must naturally be
governed to a great degree by the time
spent here.
AS soon as 1t was known that Mrs.
Stanford was in the city, among the
many men and women who have at
tended the great school, there arose a
discussion as to the means to be en-
ployed to show their aloha for her and
their alma mater. After continued talk
ing over the various proposals 1t was
decided that there should be held a
meeting of all Stanford men and wo-
men at the residence of DR.. J. s. Nc
Grew, Hackfeld and Lunalilo streets, at
8 o'clock Saturday evening, at which
time there will be discussed the giving
OF reception to Mrs. Stanford, or some
other plan which may meet with her
favor. There will be a great number
OF the students present at this meet
ing, for there are men not only in the
city but as well out on some of the
plantations, who will wish to be present
to take part in the preliminaries and
the subsequent honors to Mrs. STAN
ford, If her health Is such as to grant
the reception. There will be several
calls made upon Mrs. Stanford as soon
as she will receive, perhaps today or
tomorrow, when the subject may be
preached to her.

1t seems he has spent most of his
time there for some years. 1 imagine
he was mixed up in a revolution or two
as he mentioned that he had been ar
rested once by the missionaries. 1 guess
he wasn't religious enough for the
preachers.
He seemed to be up on the politics of
the place, and said that a judge named
Hump was raising Cain in the ISL
ands by putting everyone in jail who
was not in his crowd. 1t appears that
this Hump came from Arizona and
PASSED into Honolulu with Confederate
money. You had TO have thirty dollars
in cash to pass the savage who ran the
landing place. and this Hump, as Ly-
curgus called him, didn't happen to
have the currency. Later he became
a judge and got rich playing the su-
gar stocks. He started paper called
the acknowledgements be a kanaka
name-and imported an editor named
''Geels" from the wild west. Well, sir,

Greek tell about the rows Hump stirred
up and the way he bossed the roost

when Lycurgus left Honolulu, Hump
was on his uppers and everybody roast

Lycurgus said Honolulu was one of
the iiveliest places in the world after

about a fat JUDGE forget his name.

Ned at his place-the Creel-and

payne drunk in Honolulu than in any
place in the world with such a small
white population. Why, they just pour
1t down, according to Lycurgus.
1 went all the way to New York with
the fellow, and 1 never met such a
prince in my life. He drank nothing
but champagne and the walters used
to fall over themselves to wait on him.
He had the whole drawing room OF our
car to himself, though there was
pretty Australian woman aboard to
whom he talked a good deal. You ought
to have seen him order a meal. He
knew the fanciest bill OF fare from a to
lizard and made the cooks stand on
their heads.
