win Memorial Home, on Maui, of
which institution he was guest for
nearly year. Mr.. Pinao believes
that those of Hawaii will be interested
in knowing of the excellent work of the
institution and of the happiness and
comfort of those who live there. He
writes, in part:
Any stranger going from Paia,
Maui, towards MakawaO, viii see on
his way, an institution standing out
in bold relief, half way between the
two places, on a gentle rise Of ground,
The building was conceived by II. p.
Baldwin and his good wife as
memorial for beloved son, who died
far away from home, in the bloom of
his young manhood.
The institution is certainly situated
on an ideal spot of ground, having
splendid view of the scenery around,
and the ocean. The size of the lot en-
closing the home is about eight or ten
acres or there about. On each side of
the main building, are two double
rooms, bath room, and dining room.
| On each side also in front, are two
cottages one with six rooms, and n
paror in the center, lSx20, furnished
with n nice sofa, table and rocking
chairs. On each end, is bath room.
| The one adjoining, has eight rooms
with parlor also in the center, the
same size as the othec one, furnished
the same, with a bath room on each
end also. The two cottages on the
Opposite side are counterparts.
A veranda twenty feet, or there
aboutS, running on an angle of 45 de-
grees from the ones of the double
room, on each side of the main build
ing joining the verandas of the two
cottages on each side, making a con
tinuous veranda all around forming n
letter w in front, with a lawn 100 feet
long and 100 feet wide, with an arbor
ltwo-thirds of the way down it.
Crotons are planted all along the
sides of the roads running through the
grounds, and there ares magnolias and
monkey pods. All along the front of
the verandas are planted with differ
ent kind of flowers, such as roses,
geraniums, peoples, violets, begonas,
lsingers, and two or three other kind
Iof flowers. Vines also are planted
(which now have reached the top edge
lof the arbor.
In the rear of the main building, are
the servants quarters, wash house,
carpenter shops, carriage house, gas
lhouse, (they make their own gas) and
lstabes. The grounds in the rear are
planted with two or three different
kinds of trees. On the weather side,
lseven rows of trees are planted with
eucaliptic and pine trees, as n break
lwind.
L In front of the main building, below
the road, to the lower fence, are two
Or three kinds of trees planted also
here and there, they are all doing well
in three or four years from now, when
the trees all round the yard have
Igrown up little more, it will certain
lily be, one of the most picturesque
lspots in that neighbOrhood.
II Here, then, is the place bnilt for all
the poor, and needy, of the Anglo
Saxon race (who have no incurabe
disease, and recommended by some
friend) can live in ease and comfort
for the balance of their days. The
home is ON the same basis as the Luna
if''' ''oi'', 'h' oh's h'h'iNh'o DOihr
that one is for the poor and needy OF
the Anglo-SaXon race, while the other
lis for Hawaiians only.
l. Any tourist who happens to cal
there, and finds the inmates all out in
the yard airing themselves, would
NATURALLY think it was hotel in the
Imountain, to judge by the neatness OF
the place from every standpoint, fol-
MIR. Cameron, the superintendent, sees
to it that everything around the yard
is in apple pie order, while his GOOD
wife sees to it that the interior of the
main building, the verandas, the Office
and the rooms are kept neat and tidy
lgoing round daily once or twice to SET
that they are kept so. The two are
certainly well qualified to assume tn,
management of such an institution.
