ORGANIZING 1
COMMERCIAL CLUB

| Although there were not member
Ienoush present at the meeting of tn
Merchants Association, called yester
iday afternoon. TO take UP the matte
of the formation of Commercial Club
iyet the matter was given a good star
and a list for prospective members Il
sign was drawn up and started
around. All of those present at tht
Informal meeting signed the list, whicf
was then handed over to a canvassins
committee.
The nature of the proposed organiza-
ton was discussed, it being brought
out that it was the unanimous opinion
of those present that the club was not
to be confined to those engaged in
business, but would be open to all who
had the interest of the city at heart
and thought that such club, where
visitors and travellers could be enter
tanned, was desirable
This is plainly expressed in the pre-
amble to the list now being circulated
for signatures, which reads:
I'VE. the undersigned, being of the
opinion that the commercial develop
ment and progress of our city and the
islands generally would be materially
benefited by a greater harmony of in
terests, and believing that some organ
ization Of a social character would best
promote a closer acquaintance and
create better understanding between
our business men and those interested
in the development of our islands gen.
orally, and believing further that the
time is opportune for the establishment
of such an institution in this city,
Herewith subscribe our names in
of our desire to organize
Club, patterned after SIM
liar organizations on the mainland
which have proved such notable fac
tors in the life Of the community they
represent, and do hereby agree, in the
event of such a club being formed, to
become members and to pay as en-
trance fee the sum of fifty dollars Tin
order to create fund for the suitable
of the club rooms), and also
to pay such monthly dues as the Board
of Governors may deem necessary for
the proper maintenance of the club.
It was the general opinion that there
would be little difficulty in securing
the signatures of hundred repre-
sentative men, when another meeting
vii be called to effect the organization,
elect governors and get the club incor-
porated and in order. One of the char
.er members will be Mamie Phillips.
Who has written from Portland that
such is his wish, his letter advocating

It is possible that the club will have

building going up on the corner of
King and Bethel streets, which could |

important one, similar organization

DEFECTS IN TITLE
ARE POINTED OUT

c. r. Hemenway has filed his opin-
ions as examiner on three applications
of the J. 3. Atherton Estate for reg
istered titles.
Upon lot on the west corner of King
and Punchbowl streets, he finds 1.-The
petitioner has title but not as alleged
and proper for registration There is
no patent, and if communication is re-
leased petitioner should show it. A
life estate in Waihnauo is mentioned
and the possibility of a dover claim
is suggested in a query as to whether
Waihinauo was married. The exam
iner also calls attention to the fact that
the land claimed is of greater size than
that conveyed by the award and
deeds. This discrepancy should be ex-
planned. 1t is impossible to tell from
the record how 1t arises
Upon lots and in block 5. Pearl
City, it is found that the petitioner
has a good title as alleged, and proper
for registration"
Upon all that certain houselot in Ho-
nclulu lying between Kinau and Luz
nalilo streets and fronting on Kapio-
lant street. containing an area of go, 900
square feet, "a good title as alleged,
and proper for registration" is found

This will be the last time that the

White on the stage. He leaves for
San Francisco to join the Chicago on

WIDOWS COVER
IN BARETE ESTATE

An amended petition for admeasure-
C. Achi for the plaintiff in the suit
of Maria Barete VS.. William Savidge,
trustee, and others. After setting forth
the respective positions of the parties
relative to the estate, the petition
comes to its main point by quoting
the following paragraph from the will
of Manuel Antonio Barete:
II give, devise and bequeath unto
my wife Maria Barete all and singular
the rest, residue and remainder of my
estate, real and personal or mixed Of
every kind, character and nature what

saria Barete, share and share alike
But provided that if my said wife shall

become vested in my said children,
share and share alike, their heirs and
assigns"
The petition goes on to say that there
are no provisions in the will for the
benefit of the widow, that her right
of dover in the real estate is not set
aside or admeasured, that the value |
of the real property now owned by the |
estate is about $1,000, that the petit

Sig. Matteucci, director OF the royal

his predecessors During the tremen-
dous outbreak of April. 1872. Sig.
Palmieri stood by his instruments

stones. while two immense streams of

the observatory stood, flowed by on
each side. The first student OF Vesu-
vius OF whom there is any record. the
elder Pliny. may be said TO have start
ed the tradition of scientific GOODNESS.
IL Is known on the authority OF his
nephew that II was philosophical
curiosity" which led him to his doom
on the Vesuvian plain in that awful
year of 10 A. ID.
When Fastening to the place from
which others fed with the utmost ter
ror," the nephew wrote, "he steered
his direct course to the point of dam
ger, and with so much calmness and
presence of mind as to be able to
make and dictate his observations
upon the motion and figure of that
dreadful scene" The brave old phi
losopher retired TO rest that night in

ton against the storm of stones. But
after all Vesuvius dealt mercifully
with the man who left his safe quar-

tells, without any marks of violence

Lansing, June IL, 1906


The important event of the past week
here has been the annual meeting OF the
Michigan Pioneer and Historical society,
occupying Wednesday ard Thursday,
though there was at the same time one
very much more conspicuous for numb
ers and with louder challenge to pub
lie attention, the state convention OF the
order of Elks. The work of the Histor-
ical society, however, engages the efforts
and the interest of the thoughtful, and
is a work that will endure in increasing
value as the years go by The sessions
in the senate chamber we're attended by
interested and delighted audieaces, and
all Of the papers and addresses and dis
cussions received appreciative attention,
and will later go to a larger constituency
in the printed reports of the society, the
volumes of which find permanent homes
and extensive use in the schools and
libraries in all parts of the state.
Seldom has the society been favored
with paper of greater interest than
that of Hon. Daniel Mccoy of Grand
Rapids, former state treasurer, sketching
the history Of Fort st. Joseph, and de.
veloping the surprising fact that Spain,
as we'll as France and England, had ex-
ercised jurisdiction over the soil of Mich.
igan. In 1875 Father Claude Jean AL
louez French Jesuit, the first white man
to visit the ST. Joseph valley, established
a mission for the spiritual care of the
Pottawattomes and Miamis, and in 1890
a grant was made by France to the mis-
sion, which soon required the protection
OF garrison and a military post was
established within the present limits of
the city of Niles, and called Fort st.
Joseph. The mission was thriving in
17l2, and was visited by CharlevoiX in
1921. In 1901, after the capitulation of
Montreal, British detachment relieved
the French and hoisted the British col
ors over Fort st. Joseph. At the time
of Pontiacs conspiracy in 1853, the post
was plundered and partly destroyed In
1777 1t was surprised and captured by a
party of sixteen Illinois patriots, who de
stroyed the fort and paroled the garri-
son, but we're themselves overtaken and
captured by their late prisoners, where
South Chicago now is, several of the
Americans being killed. In IFS the fort
