Iit IHI I- The Sweet Kindergartens. The "Child garden"—how fitting the name. A place of growth, and of beauty; of delicate and tender Bowers, nourished by hands of gentleness and love. The other day we passed a teacher with hei throng of little tots rollicking after her, as they took a morning walk on the She was lovingly turning avenue. the dear little hearts, and they towards were delightedly tumbling along after her, with glee and laughter. Those were happy hours in school. The babes were happy; ihe teacher was happy. It was a garden of joys. It is a blessed thing for the careworn mothers to know that their little ones are safe for many hours in hands that are wise and gentle. They are in an atmosphere of order, of kindness, of intelligence, of animation, of cheer and satisfaction. They are undergoing a sweet and happy discipline efficiently adapted to educate their infant natuies by the most attractive methods. They carry back to their often poor and dismal homes lessons of order and gentleness which gradually refine, and elevate those homes. Each kindergarten is charged with blessing and cheer to children and There is no work more helpful parents. done in this city, and none more fruitful of lasting good in the characters of those thus cultivated and shaped in tender years. Prayer for Colleges. The long wonted d.iy for special prayer for Institutions of Learning came last week; anil the occasion, as usual, received special observance at Oahu College, where many friends were gathered to unite their petitions for spiritual bles sings upon the youth under instruction, as well as to make special pleas to the students to cultivate their noblest na tures, by seeking the grace of God. There is scarcely any object in praying for which the desires ol Chriat.Rt._l are so deeply and tenderly enlisted as tor the spiritual till ogement and divine growth of those select and precious youth pursuing higher studies, in whose progress such bright hopes are Wrapped up, and in whose future character for go id are involved such vast uppoi tunnies of fruit ful service for God and man, A Christian College is, or should be, a compact organized gathering of consecrated, enlightened teachers and ol earnest, impressionable youth, where the latter shall acquire not merel) human erudition and science, and intellectual culture, but where they shall equally experience the highest moral culture and spiritual growth. Tne intellectual part of the man may be highly disciplined, while the vital, spirituil nature is left torpid and atrophied. A college where such is the case, And no spiritual life prevails, where the teachers are md iff_T ent to the highest things, and the stu dents breathe no atmosphere of faith and divine uplifting, such a college is a place, not of lite, but of atrophy and stupor in all the highest part of man's being. In the ardent pursuit of knowledge; in the vehement rivalry of scholarship, both teachers and students arc in danger of forgetting the best and highest things, so that even ihe mental growth suffers from the lack of spiritual vigor. Scho lai ship is never so high and active, as when waves of spiritual enthusiasm waken all the noblest activities of the students. Such breathings of mental and spiritual power come by the work of the Holy Spirit. Well then may we importunately beseech the Father to bestow the Holy Spirit upon the souls of instructors and students, so that the college may be a place of constant spiritual as well as mental growing. Noble college edifices and wealthy endowments may have their value. Too otteil they deaden the active spiritual lite of the college or seminary. The noblest men for public service come more rarely from the old and wealthy universities, far more often from poor 9 The Friend NUMISKK 2 and struggling colleges where devout and lofty souls preside and create an atmosphere of purest and highest learning. Let the wrestling petition then be that tbe divine power may rest richly on the instructors and students of our schools of learning, making them seats of the loftiest and most abiding spiritual activity. So shall our educated youth become fountains of lite and health am nig men. Mr. Lewis to Labor on Maui. The Rev. John M. Lewis goes to his new field ol labor on Maui, with the high commendations of his many friends in Honolulu, and with their most earnest prayers tor his success in his new field. Mr. Lewis has labored, foi a year and a half with zcai and efficiency in connection with the Falama Chapel, and has gamed in a very high degree the confidence and affection ol the people of 'hat district, who arc grieved to part with him Mr. Lewis now engages in a much larger field, being expected to visit and labor among the weak native churches and then pastors on the Island of Maui, seeking to strengthen and build them He will at the same time, in VVai up. luku. do such pastoral work among the white population ot that section as may prove desirable. In general, his position will resemble that of Rev. John Lydgate, who is doing such excellent work on Kauai. His work will be under the auspices of the Hawaiian Board. The Hon. H. I'. Baldwin will be a leading contributor to Mr. Lewis' support. A Venerable Resident Departed. Passed away at last from among us is the aged Grandmother Carter, whom we remember as a prominent member of Honolulu society more than sixty years ago. Coming here in company with Messrs Ladd and Brinsmade and their families, she soon became married to Captain Carter, an active and enterprising trader in the Pacific ports. Mrs. Carter's children long ago reached mature years, and all but two have gone before her, Mr. Jos. O. Carter and Mrs. Robert Lewers. Her numerous grandchildren also are nearly all ofadult years. A lady of great activity and cheerfulness, her closing years have been spent in much infirmity of body. She was one of the tew surviving witnesses of those early days when the royal chiefs and the missionaries were the ruling influences in Hawaii, and Honolulu was a dusty, squalid, treeless town of thatched huts. �Februay, 1898.

The physical constitution of the Corona, and its movements, form the chief object of the inquiry. Government Land Sales. During the past two years, over S'.'bO,-000 have been realized for the Government by the Land Department. .0,23. acres have been sold to 422 purchastrs, of whom I'."J were native Hawaiians, receiving 3873 acres. Of Olaa leases about 10,000 acres have been taken up by seventy holders. Government Receipts and Expenditures. These are stated as follows; RECEIPTS.

Lahaina cane fields probably yield enough sweetness. �Vol. 56, No. 2.] THE FRIEND President Dole Goes to Washington. President Sanford B. Dole, President of the Republic of Hawaii took passage for San Francisco on the Peru, January (ith, on his way to Washington. He was accompanied by Major Curtis P. laukea as Secretary, and Dr. Day as Physician. Mrs. Dole accompanied her husband as far as California. He expects to return in a few weeks. In the mean time Minister Cooper is Acting President and will send the message to the Legis lature which is about to convene. 'The precise errand of our President in Washington has not been published. Of cours it refers to the annexation of Hawaii now under discussion in Congress. It is believed that Mr. Dole's presence there had become expedient in view of complications liable to arise in adjusting the proposed measure. He is expected to confer with the Hawaiian Legation and with the Administration. 'The departure of the ship being on Sunday, by request of the President, no salutes were tired by the warships in Probable New Pump For Honolulu. A plan is under consideration to open new Pumping Plant for the water supply of the city at Palama or Kalihi. There can be little doubt that with the growth of the city the Artesian Supply must become the chief dependence, just as it is on the Sugar Plantations. It seems absurd that the Government begrudge Honolulu people ample water at rates equal to $150 an acre, while the Kwa Plantation enjoys much more co pious irrigation at a cost of $•-'.'> an acre. This is not good business management. It is really a foolish clinging to the traditional method of depending upon the very limited and unreliable valley sup ply, which should be used only for irri gation of high levels above 200 feet. Ten years hence when Honolulu has perhaps 50,000 people, the present waterworks management will be matter of derision. a Haiku Sugar Co. has placed wells and a pumping plant in Maliko gulch, and is now delivering water on the The Building Trades Council of San upland to irrigate 400 acres of cane, thus Francisco publicly supports the annexbetween two and three thousand adding ation of Hawaii, and denounces the tons a year to the output. of the Sugar Trust which have ced certain Labor organizations to Flowing Well on Kauai. oppose it.

Rns This only brother of the German l.mperor, now commanding the German squadron in Chinese waters, visited Honolulu when a youth, many years ago. The writer twice encountered his cortege on the roads and scrutinized with deep interest the comely features of this fair haired grandson of Victoria. Of some interest also was the noble bearing of the young Prince's Governor. It detracts from the favorable impression then received to read the absurd flattery of the Prince's parting address to his Imperial brother at Kiel, words fit only for Chinese or Siamese king-worshippers. New Plantation at Waialua. Gasper Sylva has sold to H. Water house for $150,000 his Mokuleia property of over 4000 acres. The rental of rice lands on the estate is over $10,000. There is besides a large area of low fertile slope available for sugar cane, which can be irrigated by steam pumps from Artesian wells. The Waialua extension of the railway runs through the tract. This will be the fourth large plantation growing out of the railway enterprise of B. F. Dillingham. 13 RECORD OF EVENTS. Jan.

I hope to finish the job next week and be able to go about in it visiting the people who are too far distant from the station premises. The island needs teachers There are only two of them here. The one stationed here in town, is not a very bright one, but still he does all he can to keep the people together, but his influence over them is slight. The children, it is said, are kept away from school on account ol lack ot money to purchase books, but this seems to be only a false story, tor I have witnessed the prompt sale of hymn books. Therefore lam urging them to purchase books and send their children to school. There is another teacher at the northern end of the island, and his report concerning the work in his district is not a favorable one. When Mr. Walkup comes I will try to do all I can to have another teacher stationed here, for it is too bad to have only one t.acher here upon whom we can depend, and especially since rhere is no mimstei here to lead and to assist the catechist. The island is too much foi one person to take care of. lam now assisting the catechist in his school-teaching, by keep ing a Bible class among the older scholars who do not wish to leave school yet, till they are prepared to go to the training school at Kusaie. Hut this the catechist is not able to do SS he hiinselt told me. So I have to take that part of their training upon myself while I am heie. Three times a wtek I keep a singing class here among the school children, in addition to the song and prayer service we have every morning and evening. The king is taking a good step in the right direction, but he needs a great deal of help; and that's- a thing we are all attending to just at present. May our prayers for him be answered. I have not heard from Tarawa yet. I am not yet quite sure about getting there, for I have plenty to do during the time of my short stay here. We expect the steamer from Sydney every day. She is oveidue. I heard that the Longana left Tarawa yesterday, Sept. 1-ith, coming from Sydney, and going to Butaritari. 1 have the Butaritari mail here with me, and I am waiting for an opportunity to forward it. Thursday, Sept. 15th. I am getting ready for a citcuit as far as Taboneaba, the southern end of the island. I have the boat fixed and ready for the trip. I am healthy and strong, thanks to the Master. Hoping that you are the same, I remain, Your friend and brother, Louis M. MITCHELL. Station, Abaian, Gilbert Is. Teonobara Februay, 1898. THE FRIEND Proposed Sewer System. Sisal Plantation. From the eminent Sanitary engineer Rudolph Hering who studied Honolulu a year ago, full detail plans have been received for a complete sewer system for a city here of 50,ti00. The estimated cost when completed will be nearly $5(10,000. The sewerage will be deliver ed with the aid of pumps into deep water outside the reef. Itt strikes us that it would be better to lay the discharge pipe four miles along the reef to the Puuloa tract, and convert those thousands of barren acres into a highly fertilized garden. It seems a very modest prediction that Honolulu will pass the 50,000 point within a dozen years. Things are going to jump in this "Hub of the Pacific." A company has been incorporated with capital of $25,000 to plant sisal for fibre upon the coral flats of Waimanalo, west of Kwa Plantation. It is claimed that the plant will flourish upon the coral without irrigation. Cecil Brown is president of the company; the manager is Mr. Alfred Turner, lately of the Ostrich farm on Kauai, the location of which proved unsuitable. Sisal fibre is not unlikely to prove an important addition to the products of Hawaii, where arid land abounds. Nuuanu Pali Road Opened. The new road down the Pali was opened for general wheel traffic about the middle ol last month. Great credit is awarded to the contractors Messrs. Wilson & Whitehouse for their excellent work. The road is over two miles in length and 18 feet wide, cut into the side of the steep precipice, with a grade of eight feet in one hundred. The outer side is guarded by a heavy wooden railing. The descent of the pali is about 900 feet, leaving .'5OO feet descent for the remaining three miles to the sea. There is sure to be a heavy traffic over the road. The easy access from the city to the beautiful and verdant lands of Koolau will create great advance in values in that district, and many of our citizens will secure country seats there. A stage route is likely soon to be opened over the pali forty miles to Kahuku. The old road with its 15 per cent, grade was opened in 181a by the king and Dr. Judd. It was solidly built and a wonderful work for those days of poverty. It was a great discredit to the later monarchy that the carriage road The was not built fifteen years ago. Republic brought in road building and general activity in public improvements. SemiK -wklStytoage ahuku. Henry Bryant advertises to carry passengers and parcels via Pali to Kahuku and way points, every Tuesday and Thursday. White's stages run the rest of the route. This gives opportunity to go round the Island, and observe a series of wonderful pieces of scenery. This is one of the first fruits of the new Pali road. Serymser's Pacific Cable Co. is urging Congress for a contract to transmit all Senator Morgan has been doing official messages from San Francisco to vigorous work for Annexation in the U. Hawaii, China and Japan for twenty years, for $175,000 a year. S. Senate. Remarkable Race to San Francisco. Five vessels sailed from Honolulu, and one from Kahului, on the morning of December 31st, within four hours of each other. They were the \V. G. Irwin, W. H. Dimond, Albert, Archer, Transit, and Lurline. All arrived at San Francisco within three of each other on the evening of the 17th. The six ships were almost constantly in sight of each other through out the passage. The victory lay between the Irwin and the Lurline. Such uniformity of sailing together over a course of 2100 miles is believed to be unprecedented. Track-laying has begun on the Waialua extension of the Oahu Railway. Manager Dillingham expects to run through trains to Waialua by the middle of April. Mnch grand scenery hitherto unfamiliar, will be made accessible to the public. Kaena Point is a remarkable spot. The new section is about 25 miles in length. Great Molokai Ranch For Sale. The great ranch of the Bishop estate, comprising the western halfof the island of Molokai is to be sold at auction on the 2nd inst. It is well stocked with cattle and horses. It will probably be bought by parties intending to occupy the lower slopes near Kaunakakai with a sugar plantation, to be irrigated from artesian wells by steam pumps. Storms and Disasters. January has been a stormy month. A large proportion of the landings at the sugar plantations have been difficult of access, and the shipments of sugar have been greatly delayed. A sad disaster occurred at Papaikou in Hilo, where the esteemed Freight Clerk of the steamer Kinau lost his life in embarking for the ship. The fine steamer Kaaia leaving Laic with a full cargo of sugar was caught on the bar by heavy "blind rollers" and wrecked, with total loss. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
