tain. Wednesday night the peak was
dark again. From all appearances the
curtain has dropped at Mokuaweoweo. |
Manager Bidgood reported yesterday |
that Kilauea crater is working steadi-
ly but no spasmodic change took place
when the fires higher up went out.
There are three and four fountains
playing in Kilauea and the sight was
pronounced enchanting by nearly all
of the twenty or more Hiloites who
went up last Sunday.-Hilo Tribune.
ELK's MEMORIAL.
The memorial service held by Hilo
Lodge, No 75s, last Sunday afternoon
in the Elks' Hall was fairly well at.
tended. The exercises were distinctly
appropriate and very pretty. The
music was furnished by quartette:
Hastings Rowland, w. c. Cooke, Mrs.
A. C. McKenney and Mrs. H. l. Ross.
Mrs. Lewis oficiated as organist. The
meeting was presided ever by Exalted
Ruler A. c. Mckinney, assisted by
the other lodge officers in their respec-
tive stations.
The services were to commemorate
the virtues of the departed. The roll
of Hilo lodge shows that death has
not entered the ranks of it's members
since it was founded, although two of
its founders, Johnson Nickeus and
Reginald H. Reid, are gone.
The eulogy was pronounced by w.
c.. Cooke of Papaikou and was in that
gentleman's most eloquent vein. The
address was made by Rev. Sydney H.
Morgan Of the Episcopal Church. His
discourse was remarkable for it's
breadth and sympathy.-Hilo Tribune.
