TO-DAY IN HISTORY.
Birthday of Boccaccio-November Is.

trarch-occurred; greatest, because most
enduSng, for 1t melted him TO study
Homer and to superintend the first trans
lation in Italy of that poet into Latin.
This he would have called the serious
work OF his life. He went on several EN-
bassies from FlOrence-Qpe TO take a
purse TO Dante's daughter Beatrice then
in a convent at Ravenna: another TO
Pope Urban at Avignon; he held Office in
his native city; he leetured on Dante
there; he wrote Dante's life. In 1853 he
gave the "Decameron" to the public. But
honors civic and literary counted little
with Petrarch beside honor, and Boeeac-
clio. as IN most things, followed his tudg-
ment. PetraTch's death came in 1874, and
that OF Boccaccio one year later. He
died poor, neglected. and alone in his
house at Certaldo.
The best. part OF Boccaccio was not
his love. But his friendship. His init
macy with Petrarch was one of the great
friendships IN the annals OF art-friend-
ships such as have produced new move
ments like that between Ronsard and
Du Bellay which gave us the poetry Of
the Pleiade. or the feeling between Cole
ridge and Wordsworth. or the bond that
knit together The e-Raphaeiites. The
meeting betwtA Peuarch and Boccaccio
meant the dawn OF the classical renais-
sance. for though scholarship had revived
before them. II was they who gave the
impetus to the study OF Greek. which had
such far-reaching results. And II was a
noble companionship. The passionate,
VITAL generous Boccaceio needed the har-
monious suavity, the scholarly refine
ment. even the GOODNESS OF Petrarch. He
had loved him from afar before ne knew
him. They did not see one another for
eight years after their first coming to-
gether. but when they did. It was with
the same ardOr.

MONEY NOW FOR

The Federal Government Will
Spend $4,000 in the
Territory.

The federal government has decided
to appropriate the sum of $4,000 toward
the completion of the photographic
survey of Hawaii, provided the terri
torial government will expend the same
amount. Governor Frear has received
letter from the director of the Uni.
ted States Geological Survey in which
the director states that the secretary
of the interior has approved Of the ex-
penditure of $4,000 for water survey
of the Islands on the terms mentioned
above.
The Governor says that he expects
the Topographic survey to appropriate
another $4,000, on similar terms, toward
the completion of the topographic sur

Heretofore the Territory has had to

have been made, the authorities at
Washington holding that this Territory
did not come in the list of States and
Territories entitled 10 governmental aid
along these lines. A new ruling was
made recently, however, with the result
that Hawaii is now to get federal as

for the raising or removal of the wreck
of the battleship Maine from the har-

Shortly after its passage the army
engineers reported that 100000 was
not sufficient to make a proper start,
and an item of 100000 was inserted

is to put in h bedrock dam in Mauna-

LAWYER NEEDED
FOR THE HOUSE
Republican Leaders Trying to
Find Chairman for the Judi

The matter of finding a chairman for
the judiciary committee of the house
of representatives is one that is agitat-

that, so far as they can see now, there
is no Craftsmanship material in sight

that he will not run for the house this
year. w. T. Rawlins was chairman in
1907, but he is out of the game now
and will not be candidate this year,
although his friends are urging him to
run as city attorney,
OF the other lawyers in town, there
is none in sight who has any legislative
ambitions, and it is going to be hard
work to find one who will consent to
become a candidate. Albert Judd has
been prominently mentioned as a eandi-
date for the senate and will probably
be nominated. But it is doubtful if he

for senator AS senatorial candidate
he can depend upon a strong vote IN
the fourth district to help him out,
while as candidate for representative
he would have to depend upon thee fifth
district alone, where his support would
not be so enthusiastic.
The Republican leaders have been
scratching their heads in an endeavor
to think of some lawyer who will run
for the house, but so far they are in
the dark. If the work of the judiciary

solutely necessary for the committee
to be empowered to hire outside legal
assistance to pick the legal flaws in
the numerous bills upon the validity of

False Check.

John Patterson, manager Of the Ha-

ter at that place, was yesterday held
by United States Commissioner Judd to
the October term of the federal court
under $500 bonds to answer to the
charge of forgery.
Patterson is the man who cashed the
$2S.70 cheek for j. A. Garcia who later
turned out to be the wrong Garcia,
Garcia himself went back to Patterson
and said he had evidently cashed a
check intended for another, and he re-
turned the money to Patterson. But
the federal authorities do not believe
that Patterson had any intention of
refunding it to the United States, the
drawer of the check, and did not do
so until the check was traced and he
was forced to pay it over to the right
full Garcia.

Wonderful Hike Of Infantrymen
Across the KoOIau

Lieut.. Austin NJ. Pardee and his

ava, and the head of the ditch trail
was reached Sunday night where camp
was pitched. On Monday the Wahiawa
river was waded for more than three
hours upstream and then ridge was
assembled to the top of the Koolau
range where the alleged trail was lost
and the bolo squad began cutting a
new trail along the main ridge until
spur could be found that really de-
scended to the valley.
Monday night was spent in pouring
rain, each of the men sleeping length.
wise in the trail, 240O feet above the
bottom of the valleys. Rations ran
out all the bareback having become
sodden in the Wahiawa river, the trail
for miles having led along its bed.
Tuesday morning trail seeking and cut
ting was resumed, but it was not until
afternoon that Kahapa valley was
reached, many of the men having fast
ed for thirty-six hours and all of them
for twenty -four. 1t was the hardest
endurance hike ever passed out TO the
military men on this island, and Lieu
tenant Pardee states that he saw moth
ing as severe during his service in the
Philippines.
The great hike will live in the an
mails of the military in Honolulu, and
it proved that the American soldier
can go, with his sixty pounds of aecou-
! trements, where any other man ear
, find his way.
