In former years the cover of The Friend used to be adorned with a vignette of the old Sailors Home, just below the Bethel Chapel, on the corner of Bethel and Merchant streets. That es tablishment rendered noble service to the moral and physical welfare of seamen from the time of its erection in IH&ft to its removal in IXtSij. Father Thrum was the first man placed in charge, and with his noble motherly wife made the establishment an immediate success. One of the most important effects of such a well conducted boarding house for seamen was the speedy improve ment of other lodgings in town for sail ors, which ceased to be the disreputable dens which they had been. The institution was fairly prosperous financially, under the administrations of a succession of stewards. The building was a three story one, of wood. It came near being being destroyed by the fire of 1886, and indeed was seriously dam aged by explosives in an effort to destroy it, so that it remained unused until pulled down. It is of interest to know that its materials were used in con structing the house above Punchbowl street, now occupied by the Portuguese Mission. Its former site was the en closed lawn opposite the Police Station. In exchange for the land the Govern ment gave some money and a spacious lot on the made ground between Rich ards and Alakea streets, just above the new Fish Market. On this lot, surrounded by a beautiful lawn, stands the new Sailors' Home, finished a year ago, but only of late fairly in use for seamen. It forms a little oasis in a section devoid of verdure. The building is of two stones, of brick a neat, attractive structure. In the front part of the lower story is a Library and Reading Room, also a Billiard room. In the ruar of the west side are three living rooms for the Supertendent and his family. On the east side is dining room accommodating forty at table, and in its rear the pantry and kitchen with every facility to cook for a hundred men. As just the person for this department has not yet been securtd, seamen stopping at the Home for the present receive meal tickets on some go d restaurant. In the main seamen's ward up-stairs are sixteen excellent iron beds with spring mattresses. A number of socalled "mate's rooms" also furnish private lodgings at low rates. Opening on the upper front veranda are a few more stylishly furnished apartments for captains and their friends. This upper floor is supplied with every convenience, bath rooms, etc. All the rooms have tIONOI.UI.U'S NEW town will become an attractive one.

For the Lower �Vol. 53, No. 4.1 House, the suffrage is subject to no pro "perty restriction. Another wild statement of Mr. Shear man is that "The Missionary govern ment, finding that the natives would not work for less than 2A cents a day" imported "scores of thousands of the ■sctim of the human race," to "cut down the wages of the native Hawaiians" The facts are that thirty years ago wages of laborers in rural districts were not less than 50 cents a day. Soon after the large development of sugar culture under the Treaty of Reciprocity IS years ■ago, those wages went up to one dollar a day, and have not since declined. Without importation, the hands required for working the plantations did not exist here, The creation of new plantations stimulated every branch of business and doubled the wages of the native laborer. ...JWr. Shearman has blindly adopted an outrageous falsehood of Blount's Repoi t, »o4 says that "during the fifty years the .government of these islands was under missionary influence, most of the natives were deprived of their rights in the land, excepting about '.'7,(Kill acres."

Most nf the treason cases were batches of prisoners tried together.. The misprision cases were, except In two .cases, tried separate- 27 THE FRIEND ly. Altogether 190 persons were brought before the Commission. Up to date the findings in the cases of 177 have been made known, leaving thirteen to be heard from. Before the Commission 101 prisoners pleaded guilty of treason and four of misprision. By this action the sentences were considerably reduced. Altogether there were six acquittals, four on the charge of treason and two of misprision. These men were promptly set at liberty. Of the total number tried about thirty were used, quite often as witnesses for the Government. These plead guilty and were given the benefit of the lowest sentences. In further consideration of services the President ordered them set at liberty on good behavior with theii sentences hanging over them. Sam Nowlein, Captain Davis, Henry F. Bertelmann, Charles Clarke, Charles Warren, George Townsend, William Kaae and Charles Baitow are the principals on this list. Their evidence was invaluable All of these freely to the Government told about everything they knew. There were I 17 witnesses outside of defendants testifying for themselves. Running down the long list of names it is found that eighty of those found guilty by the Commission have on their stri| es. They are confined in Oahu prison. Their terms range all the way from thiity five years to one month. The big conspirators have the former term. Lieutenants under them have thirty and twenty years. From these terms often eight and six years are noti tl. Ordinary soldiers, the ex queen and a lew others have five years, one year, six months, three months and in the case of James Aylett, one month Two get off with lines. These are J. A. Cummins and W. X Hutchinson. The President modified the sentences prescribed by the Military Commission in many cases. Six were oiginally capital punishment. Three were sentenced to be hanged for high treason. Three plead guilty to this charge, All were modified to imprisonment for thirty five years and fines. In a gnat number of cases, where the parties were not comfortable in purse, the fines were remitted by the President. Several cases were referred to the Cabinet and sen tences fixt d by the Executive Council. In a few cases the sentences were modified on the recommendation of the JudgeAdvocate. Hawaiian Star. Capt. Davies was Not Tortured. brought for the rebels by the H. C. Wahlburg, was compelled by torture to testify as he did. "He refused to give testimony which might criminate himself, or his friends; whereupon he was strung up by the thumbs to ringbolts, with his legs bound below the knees, and a box placed below him so that his toes just touched it. He endured this agony for some time. Sweat poured from his body; the tendons of his limbs stood out like strands of rope; bloodvessels knotted on his swelling arms and legs. He lugged foi a drop of water; but he held out till he fainted. When he recovered consciousness he answered the questions put to him rather than endure a repetition of the torture." Capt. Davies wrote a letter to the Call as follows: Honolulu, March 5. To the Fditor 01 nu. San Francisco Call. Sir: —An article appearing in the Call of February Kith purporting to be a published narrative of myself and stating in detail supposed tortures inflicted upon me by the authorities ol the Government of Hawaii, has been brought to my notice. With your permission I wish to set at right such a fearful prevarication and denounce the whole thing as a most infernal falsehood. Not one of the tortures therein enumerated was practiced upon myself nor upon any other prison ers On the contrary, the Government from the first has Healed me with the utmost fairness and justice, and my confession to the authorities relative to the landing of arms was made freely and not, as your statement implies, after having been subjected tti torture. I make this statement believing it only fair that such an imputation against a government that has dealt as fairly and leniently with me and all other prisoners as has the Hawaiian Government should be denied by one who is best able to do so.

After two years men to find employment in the various in Kau and Lahainaluna Seminary, he trades of which they were taught a good Pogue and Whittlesey. came to Honolulu in 1847 and preached in the Bethel during an absence of the Seamen's Chaplain, _Rev. S. C. Damon. H| also edited The Friend at the same time in very vigorous style. He was an able and forcible preacher. He joined in the first rush from Honolulu tb California in 1848 when gold was discovered, yet not for the sake of gold, but to carry to that wild camp of adventurers the word of the Lord. He was at once chosen Chaplain by the new comers of San Francisco, the earliest Protestant minister on the California coast. When the "old forty-niners" arrived they found the Gospel there before them on the lips of Mr. Hunt. He organized the First Congregational Church of San Francisco, and labored as its pastor from 1849 to 1856. He then returned to the East and labored in the pastorate of various churches. Dr. Hunt was an able, earnest, wise, and faithful Christian minister, of fine social qualities, and winning nature. He merits lasting remembrance among the founders of the Church on the Pacific Coast. Lectures by Dr. B. G. Northrop. Honolulu has been much favored by a visit from this eminent gentleman, and by listening to two lectures from him. The first was on the 21st, on education, and especially the cultivation of the faculty of memory. The second, on the 28th, upon the subject of Village Improvement, to which the distinguished lecturer's labors have given an immense impulse in the United States, degree of aptitude at Kamehameha School ? The Principal, Mr. Richards, stated as a matter of fact, very few indeed of the graduates had thus far practiced the handicrafts which they had learned in school. Nearly all of them had found employment on plantations and ranches, or as teacher*. Others expressed the conviction that in any occupation, the manual skill acquired in school would prove in many ways of the greatest service. It was also believed to afford most valuable development of thought and character. Mr. Richards earnestly declared that the scholars made far greater proficiency in book studies in the same time with manual training, than they could have done without it. All their faculties were quickened by means of the education of that part of their powers cultivated and developed in manual training.

Tinker. • Mrs. Tinker was the widow of a former prominent missionary in Honolulu, and herself greatly beloved. She died March 7th at Westfield, N V., where Mr. Tinker had been pastor prior to his disease in 1854. Rev. Reuben Tinker and wife sailed for Honolulu Dec. 28, 1830, in company with Messrs. Baldwin and Dibble. They lived for several years in the house subsequently occupied by the Isle S. N. Castle. In 1840 they 'returned to the States. Mr. Tinker revisited Honolulu in 1870. She was in her 86th year. Her daughter, Mrs. Dr. Leon H Hsr vey, of Buffalo, is now here on a visit with her husband, and has just heard of her mother's death. The Hsiveys pnreedrd to Japan this we. k. Mrs. Harvey has visited her birth place at Koloa, Kauai, also the Volcano. We cannot heavily mourn the departure of these aged saints, who are ripe for tt-e heavenly home. Women's Exchange. The ladies of the W. C. T.

M.ny women in need may thus find employment, and the producer and consumer be brought together. New Docks to be Excavated. A new departure is being taken by the Government in the matter of harbor improvement. It is proposed speedily to proceed with the work of excavating two spacious docks. One of these will be at the foot of Richard street, east Of the new Fish market. It will be 400 feet in length, and 27 in depth, and wide enough to hold two of the largest ocean steamers. The other one will be a little farther towards the Marine Railway. The ground to be removed is mostly earth with a thin stratum of coral resting upon it and is bare at low tide. The suction dredge will do most of the work. Similar excavation of docks in other parts of the harbor will probably be found practicable in the future. The capacity of Honolulu harbor may thus be gradually increased so as to meet a good portion of the future demands of the growing Pacific commerce. There is no burden, which if we lift it cheerfully, and bear it with love in our heart, will not become a blessing to us. God means our tasks to be our helpers heavenward. To shrink from a duty, or to refuse to bend our shoulders tn receive a load, is to decline a new opportunity for growth.—J. R. Miller, D. D. �THE FRIEND. Vol. 53, No. 4.] Inter-Oceanic Canal Traffic. "Not one mercantile ship flying the United States flag entered the canal last year, although many cargoes destined for America passed through in British ships," says United States Consul General Penfield, at Cairo, Egypt, in a report to the State Department upon the Suez canal traffic. During theyear 1894 the number of vessels passing through the canal was 3352, being ten in excess of the preceding year, and the receipts from the tolls amounted to almost $15,-000,000. The number of ships using the canal in 1874, twenty years ago, was only 1264. These figures compared with those of the present day show how completely the canal has revolutionized the traffic between the far east and Europe. The largest business year the canal ever had was in 1891, when 4206 steamers passed through. The application of the electric light to marine purposes is now so general that nearly 96 per cent, of the vessels using the canal last year were enabled to steam at night. Of the 3352 ships passing through last year, 2394 were British. —Washington Star. 29 each carrying 2000 tons. The whole will be an addition to Honolulu shipping of 500 Urge ships a year. Allowing one and a half days detention for the steamers, and ten days for the colliers, there .will be an average addition of nearly five large ships and steamers to be constantly afforded wharfroom at this port. These ships would come irregularly often crowding in fleets. And the traffic will yearly grow larger. RECORD OF EVENTS.

The Meeting at Kailua, Hawaii. , The Hawaii Association met at KaiMarch 20th, promptly St 10 a.m. and finished its sittings in the afternoon of Friday,, the 22nd. There were present 9 pastors and 15 delegates. Keys. Lopo and Lutera of (he Gilbert Islands mission were also presept. Nearly all of the 18 or. so parishes of the island were represented. Although there are 23 independent church organizations on the island, four of,the smallest, are paired in the pastorate with contiguous churches. Perhaps it were well if one or two more were thu* paired. Thus there are left 18 dis tinct parishes and of these but, 10 are occupied, leaving 8 which receive only occasional care.

There was much harmony and good spirit shown in the conduct of the meeting, and the business of the churches done with commendable address and despatch. Rev.
