its various periods of stress and trial
He is the son of New England mis-
sionary. and was educated at Williams
| College. He practiced law in Boston
for a short time before returning TO
Hawaii, but the greater portion of
his life has been spent here in the SER
vice of his people. He was president
OF the Provisional government. and
later on was the executive OF the Re
public OF Hawaii.
Judge Dole has been called to Wash
ington to be the guest of two different
presidents On the occasion of his
first visit to the Capitol he was receiy-
ed by President Mckinley and given
all the honors of a ruler of an indie
pendent nation. His second visit was
made after he became governor of the
territory. He has a calm, judicial
temperament, and for that reason was
tower of strength during the troub-
lous and uncertain days of the provin-
ciaI government and the republic.
During the times of bitterest feeling
there was never any manifestation of
personal hostility toward Dole. The
royalists recognized that he was alb

solute fearlessness of the man has
been shown. On one occasion. in the
days of the monarchy, when a mob
the legislative building. Dole
and Chief Justice Harris, both of them
over six feet tall, locked their arms
across the doorway and held the
crowd at bay for over a half an hour |
Judge Dole is an elegant, courtly gen

old man OF Hawaii
PRINCE CUPID IS DELEGATE.
The most picturesque character in |
the politics of the islands is Prince |
Cupid, the territorial delegate to |
The real name of the |
prince is Jonah Kalanianaole, but when |
he was baby he looked so much like |
A little cupid that the nickname was |
given him and he has never been able !
to live il down. About all there is to |
the Prince is his title. Although he |
was sent to Washington by the repub-
ican party it was done as a sort of !
peace offering to the native element.
TO have control of the legislature
here is more important than to name
he delegate to Washington, and that
S how the prince secured his job. The |
printed speeches and reports of the
Prince make good reading but they
Ire all prepared by his secretary. a
7oung man by the name of George B.
Mcclellan, a relative and name-sake
If the famous general by that name.
rhe Prince is very fortunate in hav-
ng such an able secretary
On several different occa SioDS the |
delegate from Hawaii has been invoIv-
ID in unsavory escapades in Wash
ngton. Once while on a spree he was
,autioned to keep the peace, but he
continued to make Rome howl on the
xcuse that he was member of Con-
'ress and could not be arrested Final
Y the dusky islander became so OBJ
treperous that he was loaded into the
lurry-up wagon and taken to the !
'olice station. He might have been !
'aiied out but his ire was aroused and !
lie insisted on seeing the thing through.
lie remained in Jail over night and
vas arraigned in the police court next !
morning on the unprincely charge of
icing drunk and disorderly. It is to
e hoped that the emergencies of the
olitical situation in Hawaii will soon
re altered so that a more competent
elegate may be sent to Washington | !
