during the week, are all very highly
pleased with the meeting in every
particular. One thing, however, in
connection with the gathering which
impressed them all, and caused much
favorable comment, was the manner
in which the ladies of Devils Lake
worked for the success of the meeting,
and the earnest efforts they made tc
make the visit of the ladies from all
parts of the state as pleasant as pos.
sible. The hospitality extended was
of a very fine order, and the treatment
received by the visiting ladies will
never be forgotten.

OFFICER LOOKS
FOR BIRTHPLACE
Lieut.. Gherardi Trying to Find
House he Was Born in
Here.

The Advertiser of August II, 1873,
contained the following notice:
eBirths-In Nuuanu Valley, August
10th, TO the wife of Captain Bancroft
Gherardi, q. s. N. son."
The above gave notice Of the birth
of the only officer in the American
navy at the present time who was born
in Hawaii. This officer is Lieutenant
w. H. Gherardf, of the United States
Cruiser New York, and during his stay
in Honolulu he is trying to find the
house in which he was born, and pos
sibly some old resident of the islands
may be able to tell him. Captain
Cater AdmiraD Gherardi was in
charge of the United States ship Pen
sacola, which was the flagship of Adj
miral j. J. Amy, at that time station
ed here. Mrs. Gherardi came down
from the Coast to join her husband,
and it was during her stay that the son
was born.

strong face, one feels that he had met

young Gherardi has a record any Of
icer would be proud of. He is said
to hold the record as a life saver in
the American Navy, several medals
having been presented to him in rec
ognition of his services. But Lieuten-
ant Gherardi refuses to talk about serv-
ices he has done to rescue others. He
is interested more in the weather when
one speaks of them in his presence.
AS a cadet, he first won his honors
on the battleship Maine. In hurri-
cane off Cape Hatteras three men were
washed overheard. Orders were given
to lower a boat in sea in which
many thought that boat could not
live, and young Gherardi went with it
as coxswain. The men were not res
cued, but the heroic action of the
young cadet got for him medal

SUGAR PLANTERS
ANNUAL MEETING

The annual meeting of the Hawaiian
Sugar Planters Association will be
held here today and tomorrow. There
arrived on the various steamers of
Saturday and yesterday managers of
most of the great plantations. This
meeting is very important one, and
the papers which are to be read will
furnish food for much thought.
The consensus of the management
now here is that there was never bet
ter outlook for each section of the
Territory. There seems to be no spe-
cially favored section, but all are doing
well and promise good outputs OF
sugar.
There seems as well feeling that
the labor question is in better shape,
though all of the sugar men believe
there must be some action by Con-
gress, admitting a limited number of
Chinese for field labor, if there is to be
any basis for final settlement of the
question of men to care for the crops.
1t Is believed that there will be no
change in the officials OF the Associa-
ton. 4agitw %
