ART FURNITURE At
PACIFIC HARDWARE Co,

Shown in the art department OF The
Pacific Hardware Co. are some exqui-
site examples of the skill of feminine
wood artist.
The first piece is a chair made of
dark koa lumber, the upper part of the
back being carved out after an origin
al design drawn by the artist Imme-
diately below this portion is a fine
representation of the royal Hawaiian
shield carved in the background
The seat is partly oval in shape and
the whole chair has been highly pol
ished. showing plainly the natural
grain of the wood. The carving is very
elaborate. Artistically the chair is a
success.
second piece is a tabourette made
from the same kind of wood. The de-
sign is carved to represent small dol
phins and the idea is unique AS an
article of koa furniture the tabourette
is extremely ornamental. Another OBJ
ject of interest shows up like a small
shelf against background. This is
a pipe rack and the wood is carved in
design to represent a dragon, whose
long body is coiled in loops at inter-
walls.
Through any of these several loops
a man who likes to smoke can always
find pipe hanging. The surface Of
the rack can be used as a rest for a
tobacco jar, cigars. etc.
The natural grain in the wood and
the different shading in the color of
koa have always been objects of adj
miration by all lovers of the beautiful,
especially when the wood has been
highly polished by hand.

ORPHANAGE FUNDS
HAVE RUN OUT

Within the last five months $2oI4o1
has been paid out to feed, clothe, edu-
cate and take care of the children al
Kona Orphanaee. Only $55I.oo of this
amount was given by the good people
of these Islands. I furnished the rest
with the exception of $22.5 So which was
given by friends on the mainland.
There is now no money in the
Orphanage treasury, and I haven't
enough in my private account to pay
all Orphanage debts to the fifteenth of
this month.
As the people of the Islands have
SO promptl- and generously responded
to appeals for the Orphanage in the
past, I believe they will do so now.
Those wishing to contribute may de-
post the money at Bishop Bank, or
send it direct to me.
Some of the leading merchants and
friends of the Orphanage are now max
ing up boxes of useful articles, which
will be sent on the Mauna Loa Friday.
These will be greatly appreciated.
Any one wishing to send Christmas
gifts may leave them with Trent & Co.
on or before the 18th of December.
A detailed report of Kona Orphanage
is now being printed which will &C
count for all money received and spent
for the Orphanage during the past five
years.

PREFACE TO THE FUNDAMENTAL
Law OF HAWAII.
Congress has expressly enacted law
and extended the provisions of the
United States Constitution to the Ter
ritory.
In restricted sense. therefore, the
United States Constitution and the Or
ganic Act constitute Hawaii's funda-
mental law; but the Organic Act
specifically re-enacts the great body of
pre-existing Hawaiian statute law,
which was based upon the several Ha-
waiian Constitutions and organic laws.
A large proportion of the law gov
erning real estate, property and per-
scnal rights in Hawaii being based up
on these early constitutions and laws;
and precedents, decisions and court
practice having grown out of them, it
is necessary to consult them in order
to have a comprehensive understand
ing of existing Hawaiian law. They
are nearly all published, however, in
books now out of print, and IN scattered
volumes, inaccessible to many, and in
conveniently located for all. In fact,
not even practicing lawyers in Hawaii
can, except at considerable Ioss of time,
place their hands on the laws ana CON
situations necessary for the study and
decision Of practical questions con-
tinually being presented TO them.
Under these circumstances it is be-
lieved that the public interest requires
the republication in convenient refer
ence form of what may be called 1.-The
fundamental law of Hawaii" To meet
this requirement the following con-
situations, laws and documents have
been complied under the common title
of 1.-THE Fundamental Law of Hawaii"
viz:
/. The first Constitution of Kane
hameha III, 1910, including the pre-
viousIy issued Bill Of Rights.
q The first laws of Hawaii, enacted
under Kamehameha III, (1S33-1S42),
published together in 1912.
5. The law creating and principles
guiding the Land Commission.
4 The second Constitution of Ka-
III, 1852.

The laws of 1912 are not "fundamen-
tal'' in the sense that the constitutions
and other laws and documents are; but
they have been included herein for the
reason that they We're not only the first
written laws of Hawaii but embodied
many of the pre- existing laws and GUS
toms Of the country and therefore
throw strong light upon the origin
and development of much of the pres
ent law
Only a few of the laws, constitutions
and documents re-published, have ever
been indexed. A full index of all Of
them is included herein. Instead of one
general index, each is indexed separ-
ately. The reason for such treatment Is
that reference will usually be desired
to given subject in some one law
or constitution. The subject sought
will be much easier found in the short
index of the particular law, than it
would have been in necessarily long
index of the whole.
The table of contents gives the page
of each constitution and law and of its
index
