, PETITIONS FOR KoKUAs.
Upon the petitions of four afflicted
persons at the Settlement to be allow
ed the attendance of relatives. the
president commented thus:
1.-THE petition Of Malta Kaanaana
recommend be refused for the reason
she is in the Bishop Home, and, in ev-
cry way, cared for by the Sisters. The
petitions of Maria Waffle, Kamaka
Eleakala and Sophia Nathaniel should
be granted, as they all require the aid
they ask for.
1.-THE case of Mrs. Nathaniel de-
serves public mention. She Is the
widow Of the late Judge Nathaniel.
She has a little business from which
she derives some profit. and now that
she is unable fully to care for her own
person and business she desires aid.
Her husband left a few small debts.
bition is, during the short time left
her, to pay off the remaining debts,
leaving record Of integrity when she
passes away"
All of the presidents recommended
lions were adopted.
Mr.. Andrews, on one of the cases,
said he would not agree to kokuas If
there were any general provision made
for assistance to the helpless. In the
absence of such provision those persons
must have somebody to wait on them.

sion to visit the Settlements.
POOL TABLE ENTERPRISE.
1.-TWO members of the Settlement run
a fish market, Messrs. Kanikau and
Harvest" the president wrote. "They
are ambitious and have recently i'm
ported from the east an excellent pool
table. They ask permission to run it
in connection with their other bust
ness. The Superintendent can see no
objection, and quite favors their plan
as adding a little diversion to the Set
Element l therefore recommend the
petition be granted, the permission to
be subject to such rules and regulations
as the Superintendent may impose, and
to be revoked at his discretion"
'If they do not turn it into a gam
bling scheme" DR.. Cooper remarked,
At do not see why they should not be
