1t was in 1872 that the Hawaiian gov
eminent requested the Prussian war
ministry to send a competent army
musician to instruct the Hawaiian Gov
eminent band. Professor Henry Ber-
ger had passed his examination as
army bandmaster in 1871 and was one
of twelve summoned for closed tests
to decide upon the successful master.
Professor Berger was chosen and left
for Honolulu at once arriving in Jure,
1872, the ruling monarch at that time
being Kamehameha V.
Professor Berger found twelve native
musicians who had been under the
tuition of a Mr. Northcote and also
NJ. Medina. He saw that there was
a deal of native talent but that it
needed an immense amount of drilling.
He went to work with a will making
his first public appearance at the
Fourth of July celebration of that year,
and giving the first of that series of
concerts, which is still going on, at
Emma Square July 6, 1872.

band has been one of progression. Up
on the death of Kamehameha V in De-
cember, 1872 the music makers found
even a greater patron in Lunalilo, who
succeeded him. The new king was very
fond of music and had the band about
him whenever possible During his last
illness, when he was conveyed to Kali
lua, Hawaii. he took the band, which
had increased to eighteen members
with him, and it cheered his last hours.
Each change in rulers seemed to be
for the better, for upon the accession
of King KaIakaua in 1874, there sprung
up that interest in the band which was
destined to make it truly famous.
Throughout his entire life he was the
consistent friend of his musicians.
During 1876 Professor Berger's term of
furlough being up, he returned to Prus-
STA, reported TO his home government
and again entered the army as band
master. He had married here and his
wife could not stand the severe climate
so he left the service of Emperor Will
helm I and returned to make Hawaii
his home
He at once entered upon the service
Of building up the band with renewed
vtgor- He introduced the higher grade
of orchestral instruments and had e. ch
member add TO his capacity by learn
ing to play stringed instrument
There We're three years of hard work
in this development. and it was not
until there had been many trials and
many failures that the band, about the
middle of the eighties, took it's present
form of both band and orchestra.
It was in 1888 that the band was Civ
en- its greatest impetus. At that time
it was engaged TO go 70 san Francisco
to take part in the Knights TempIars
conclaVe. Professor Berger took with
him his full corps OF musicians and SO

thoroughly had he drilled his band that
out of twenty three competing organ
izations the Hawaiian Band was chosen
to lead the grand parade. On other
occasions the band has been taken to
the states, each time being received
with the greatest enthusiasm.
The work of Kapellmeister Berger in
connection with the development of the
Hawaiian band has been one filed with
hard and consistent effort. When he
arrived he found a people naturally
musical, but without knowledge of it's
expression. He has drilled the band
most thoroughly in every respect. He
personally has taught each PLAYER how
to handle his instrument and the or
chestral success is due more to the
thorough training the men received at
his hands than to any natural apti-
tude.
Upon his arrival Professor Berger
found in the person of Governor Domf-
mis- a true friend. During all the early
years of band development Governor
Domlnis saw to it. that the band was
cared for in appropriations. and in
many ways showed his friendship and
interest. 1t was natural then that the
AisC piece OF music composed by the
new leader was the John Domfnfs

that there had been any change.

been engaged on public works may find
their families suffering for the necessi-

enough money to set them to work, or
to carry itself on. The expense of in

there is certain to be some delay in

May Quarrel With the Netherlands.

Washington, November 30.-The
acute situation between France and
Venezuela has for some time past
distracted attention from the quarrels
which the Venezuelan government
already had on hand with her neigh
bors.
Some diplomats here, familiar with
conditions in that part of South
America, feel that in the near future
trouble may be expected between
The Netherlands and Venezuela.
The chief complaint of the Neither
lands government is the way in
which the Venezuela custom houses
exercise their right of search. 1t is
alleged that many times, without due
cause, the customs officers bring
Dutch ships to their ports and keep
the crew practically prisoners. The
Venezuelan government on its side,
has made several complaints about
the smuggling trade which is kept
on from Curacao into the harbors of
Venezuela and which consists chiefly
of firearms.
From both sides protests have
been made and the Dutch demands
have never been fully answered.
The Dutch newspapers have been
much interested in this question.

Unspeakable CrueIties to Jews.

Bristol, Va, November 3O.-At a
mass meeting of citizens held here
Monday night at the opera house to
protest against the massacre Of Jews
in Russia, letter received by one
of the prominent Jewish merchants
of the city from brother in Odessa
was read. 1t is dated Odessa, Octo-
ber "a, and is in part as follows:
"l saw them catch an old Jewish
man with gray hair and long beard,
they robbed him, cut his head from
his shoulders, kicked his body into
the street and then took his head
and placed it on long pole, while
everyone was shouting 'hooray.'
"Right at the time young man
dressed in the uniform of high col
lege scholar ran up and was protest
ing against this barbarism and four
or five Russians jumped on him,
knocked him down and had a great
knife stabbed him in his stomach
and split him in two, and there was
lot of maccaroni lying on the street
which came from grocery store,
and while still alive they tore out
his entrails and stuffed him full of
this maccaroni, and left him there,
and they were just running from
one house to another, breaking win
dows.
ooh, God! What l saw in that
barn makes me shudder. I think
can hardly write you. We found in
the barn eight children, the oldest of
whom was not over 8 years old, hung
on one long rope and left swinging
there"
