Justin Mccarthy, novelist, historian,
and member of parliament was born
in Cork, Ireland, November %, 1890.
He was the son of Roman Catholic,
and under the then existing law of Ire
land, could not obtain degree in any
of the colleges of his native land. His
father, however, was ambitious for him,
and gave fine private education. In
l84S, young Mccarthy became journ-
alist in his own home city, and remain
ed there until 1852. From 1852 until
1850, he worked on papers in Liver
pool, and rapidly rose in his profession.
In 1860 he was called to London, where
he became editor of the Morning Star.
In 1870 he was asked to become chief
editorial writer of the Daily News. He
was elected to parliament from Long
ford County in 1879, and rapidly forged
to the fore politically. He was a hard
worker and turned out a number of
novels and historial works, as well as
many pamphlets upon current political
questions.

DEATH SUMMONS DR.. RODGERS
END COMES WHILE HE SLEPT
(TrOm Thursday,s Advertiser.l

(From Thursdays Advertiser.)
Death summoned DR.. G. T. Rodgers
early yesterday morning while he
slept. The end came peacefully. His
death was not unexpected as he had
been in poor health for several years
and for the last twelve months had
been quite feeble. During this latter
period he had been residing at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. A. A. Montana
of Manoa Valley, his oldest friends in
the Islands. When the aged doctor
failed to appear at the breakfast table
his room was visited and he wass found
dead. Doctor Baldwin was summoned
and he pronounced him as having been
dead several hours.
In the death of Doctor Rodgers
Honolulu loses a citizen who has been
more or less prominent in its affairs
since 1876, when he arrived here from
New York. He was engaged in the
practise of medicine, for many years
residing at the Hawaiian Hotel where
he also had his office. He came TO the
islands accompanied by his wife, a very
beautiful and accomplished woman
who was not only prominent in social
life, but was also conspicuous for her
interest in church affairs. She died
many years ago.
New Yorker Born.
Doctor Rodgers was born in New
York and was prominent in the politics
of that city, particularly during the
years before the Civil War. That he
was identified with politics in a large
way is evidenced by the fact that he
was member of the committee which
met Abraham Lincoln at hotel to
welcome him to the city, and to ar
range hor his address at Cooper Union.
He was always great admirer of Lin
coin, and it is understood that he met
the murdered president on many &C.
casions.
Doctor Rodgers was acting editor of
The Advertiser during the absence of
Henry Castle in Europe, in 1889. He
was one of the founders of the public
library with Professor M. M. Scott and
Alexander Cartwright, ST., and re-
mainder trustee up to the time of his
death.
During the days before the over
throw of the monarchy, and sub
sequently, Doctor Rodgers was the Sec
rotary of the annexation committee,
and recorded all the minutes of those
stirring meetings and his minutes were
models of exactness. He was also Sec
rotary of the executive and advisory
councils under the provisional govern
ment.
Later he became interested in the
educational work of the Territory and
was appointed secretary of the terri
torial board of education, serving for
many years. He retired about 1902.
He wrote many articles on educational
matters and was an authority on edu'
cational work. He was acting super
intendent of the census of 1890 in Ha-
wall his compilation being the first
complete report in pamphlet form of
any census here. ~
Ranking Odd Fellow.
The doctor was also prominent in
fraternal societies and is probably the
highest ranking Odd Fellow in the Ha-
waiian Islands being the past district
deputy grand sire. He was a member
of Harmony Lodge, Polynesia En-
campment and Pacific Rebekahs. The
Odd Fellows have assumed charge of

PART OF
81. 4. HONOLULU CITY
(From Thursdays Advertiser.)


Palmyra Island is part of the City
and County of Honolulu, according to
a petition filed yesterday in the land
court by Circuit Judge Henry E.
Cooper. Though it may be long way
off, and not visited by the local police,
Palmyra is under the jurisdiction of
Mayor Fern and the Hanawaki board
of supervisors. Cooper s petition is di-
rected to showing, however, that it is
also under the jurisdiction of the Ter
ritory of Hawaii, and is part of the
Territory, and by way of settling, once
for all, as far as the courts here can
settle it, his ownership of the island, he
has begun proceedings to get title from
the land court.
Palmyra is not overcrowded, but the
blank forms of the petition for Tor
rens title require petitioner to state
the "names and full address" of the
occupants of the land. Cooper supplies
this information with the brief phrase
"Territory of Hawaii The court will
have to consider the Territory as the
names and addresses of the occu-
pants of the land.
Application Unique.
The application is unique in the his
tory of the land court, for no one has
ever before applied for title to an
island so far away from the court.
Cooper eertifes that so far as known
there are no mortgages on the island
and he leaves entirely blank that clause
of the form for application for titles
which requires him to state the names
- H.,
No4one expected that there would be
a mortgage on Palmyra, and Cooper
could find no way to fill out the clause
relating to Glands adjoining"
The petition, of possible internation-
al significance, should the status of Pal
myra become an issue, is in the main as
follows:
''o'''''l@ TERRITORY Of Hawaii.
