TURNED OUT
IN TIE NIGHT.
Two Lads Forced Out
Of Kamehameha
School.
No Reason Assigned, Only to
Pack aud Got.


two motherless.- lads we're we're I'M
tremendously turned out ofthe Ka
mehameha Boys School 10 the dark |
and made to wepd their way into
town, for doing certain alleged
breach in the discipline OF that in
stitutiop, although they we're not
students there, but only bosrders.
The lads were brothers whose father
is one OF the leading Hawaiian Con-
gregatioual pastors on the big Isl
ands, and this treatment was accord
ed them without his knowledge nor
with the knowledge OF their relatives
in the city. It is said the breach
was a very small affair, but it SEEM
ed to have been large one in the
eyes OF those supposed Christian
instructors.
They were formerly students in
the institution created by Hawaii
an chiefess, but lately they have at
tended school at Oahu College
tPunahou). While attending school
elsewhere, they boarded and lodged
at Kamehameha, under some special
arrangement entered into by their
parent and the faculty, with the
consent OF the trustees, so we are
given to understand. Under this
understanding, they were allowed
certain privileges, one OF which was
their being permitted to study their
lessons OF different nature aud char
acter from those they had been used
TO do ct this semi Hawaiian institu-
tion in separate apartment by
themselves and away from the rest
OF the boys. And moreover, they
were boarding there, not on charity,
but on pay. 80 says our informant.
One evening while the lads were
in their apartment studying their
lessons, one OF the teachers, not the
principal, came and told them to 60
and study their lessons with the rest
of the boys. For being 80 told
without any apparent cause, one OF
the boys answered that there they
had been in the habit OF studying,
and to 20 to the apartment with the
others was an impossibility, because
their studies were entirely different,
and that further, they were too
noisy. This may have aroused the
teachers ire, for he went off, pres
umably to report to the principal
Nothing further happened that
evening.
They attended school the morning
after and returned late in the even
ing. Then, after their return and
while studying as usual, the princi-
pal came 10 and told them to pack
and get out. They demonstrated
not once, but more, aud received tht
one answer--to pack and get out
This they did aud left the school a.
dusk, arriving at their unole's house
after z O'Clock while he aud biz
family were having supper, ant
much wonder and surprise was ex
pressed at such an unexpected ant
uncalled for treatment by one WIFI
is supposed to be Christian.
1t is here surmised that the trustee
were seen about tie matter by The
principal and that they lent ears t
such tale without making an invesii
cation for, aud thereby satisfy, them
selves. The lads went to school
as usual the next day, and ate
school, they went after their boxes
And during this time, they wer
again approached by the principal
and we're accused OF reporting tn
matter to the trustees. They denie
the impeachment, but we're not bt
lieved, finally ending in their pacl
ing of their buds with them to the
upcles home,
The father was written to aud b
arrived here recently. He failed
the attempt to reconcile matter
