All that was mortal-a little urn
OF ashes-of Lorrin Andrews was
deposited in a cement box in the
old missionary plot back of Hawai-
ahao church Sunday afternoon.
There were about hundred persons
within the enclosure and many Ha-
waiians peering over the fence at
the side. There were few dry eyes
in the gathering for Andrews had
many admirers. He was a man of
sterling character, as honest as

Rev. H. H. Parker was simple and
was helped out materially with
beautiful singing by quartet from
Central Union Church. Mrs. An
drews, one time of Maui, was sup
ported by Hon. w. o. Smith and
there were besides the remnant
families Of old Honolulu mission
aries and a sprinkling Of men and
women OF the Earth earthly" He
was buried in the grave with his
father, a cement box having been
made a short distance below the
surface and the ashes deposited in
1t and then sealed. The service was
as impressive as it was simple, just
what plain man of the people like
Andrews would have engineered had
he been here.
1t is nearly sixteen years ago
since Lorrin Andrews came here
from Maui, where he was deputy
sheriff, to get his commission as
sheriff of the island. And it was
just that long ago since the first
visitation was made by cholera. If
mistake not Sheriff Hitchcock
was here at the same time and they
left for their posts on the Kinau.
There was more of scare about
the cholera away from here than in
Honolulu so that when the steamer
arrived at Maalaea Bay, Andrews
received caution from the people
on shore that he had better keep
moving and not attempt to land.
He took their advice and as Hitch
cock was an old friend he felt him
self in good company. The steamer
got word at Laupahoehoe that there
was likely to be something doing
when passengers from Honolulu at
tempted to land at the metropolis
of Hawaii. Anyone who ever knew
the late Ed. Hitchcock remembers
him as man that was not to be
thwarted SO he told Andrews to
leave it to him. A more courageous
man than Andrews never lived on
these islands and he had nothing to
be nervous over; there was nothing
ahead that made his heart beats
more frequent. Also Andrews was
paakiki.
When the Kinau arrived at Hilo
small boat was sent with scout
ing party to the wharf at the foot of
Waianuenue Street. 1t was met by
a delegation of citizens with the late
A. B. Loebenstein as spokesman.
Loeby' was always long on talk
and the party in the boat knew his
failing in this respect. The crew
was ordered to shift their oars and
return to the steamer. Arriving
there Sheriffs Hitchcock and An
drews boarded her and the boat
made a second start. Hitchcock
depended upon his authority as
sheriff of the. island of Hawaii TO
effect'a landing. He foolishly be-
lieved it was more powerful than
any influence welded by his broth
er's son-in-law, Loebeinstein. In
that he was mistaken for the town

Ball Artists Are Doing.

For a bonus, said on good author
ity to be 100000, the National
league of professional baseball clubs,
in session here today, made 20
year contract with leading sport
ing goods firm to use baseball of
its manufacture for the official
league ball. Heretofore. it has been
commonly supposed, even among
the players, that the big leagues
paid about 81 cents each for balls
which sell at retail at 81 .25. But
the developments show they not
only pay nothing, but receive all
the balls they use free, and very
considerable cash besides. The ball
in question is made in Chicago,
and the contract begins with the
season of 1912.

Johnson.
Jack Johnson, the champion pugi-
list was in court in San Francisco,
recently, charged with breaking the
speed laws. He conducted his own
defense, and succeeded in getting
the jury so befuddled that they
could not agree on verdict. The
card of the attraction was johnson,
who blossomed forth as the unde-
feated orator and logician of the
police courts. That he got the de-
cision from the combine forces of
thef prosecution was the popular
ringside verdict. His eloquence
failed to secure an acquittal for him,
but it left the minds of quartet OF
the jurors in such a muddled condi-
ton concerning speedometers, speed
laws, carburetors, second speeds,
feet to mile and miles to a minute,
grades, short blocks and long blocks
and all the rest Of it, that they
could not unravel the tangle. john
son conducted his own case. He
examined the veniremen and saw
that the interests of the defense
were well protected in the selection
of jurors. The big fighter was as
clever with the persuasive English
as he is on other occasions with the
right uppercuts and the straight
lefts to the nose. He side-stepped
grammatical errors and led repeat
edly to the head of each juryman
with well directed facts. But il
was not in the cards for him to win,
When johnson took the stand in
his own behalf he was asked his
name and address. Then came the
question:

The broad, golden smile broke
