The chairman read tho report of tho society, giving a brief history of its organization and pro gross. Tho most important ovont in tho first yoar was tho gathering of tho historical collection in tho build ing of tho Honolulu Library aud Heading Room Association, with which body tho society had effected a satisfactory arrangement of allilia tion. Hon. "V. D. Aloxandor read his report as Corresponding Secretary. It stated that, immediately after the organization of this society, letters wore addressed to a number of gen tlemen in other countries, interested in Polynesian history and ethnology, most of whom have since been elect ed as corresuondinc: members, and copies of this socioty's published papors have since boon sent to them. Tho Polynesian Society, organized in New Zealand, sent them a frater nal greeting in cordial terms, con cluding, "We shall be happy to ex change publications, and to asist your society in any manner that wo can." Major Dutton, U. S. A., after thanking tho society for his election as a corresponding member, saj-: "My remembrances of the Hawaiian Islands are a source of tho greatest pleasure to .me, and my intorest in all that concerns them grows deeper with tho lap.-o of time, ft is well that your society has been formed, for there is no history better worth preserving. It is not only a ro mance, but an object lesion of tho highest utility to all who may have been so fortunate as to have studied it whether thoy bo statesmen, econo mists, or antiquarians. Every scrap of Hawaiian history that can be dis covered and verified, or rescued from oblivion, is of permanent value to trio -itM." loiter Major Dutton submits a list of important topics for investigation by the society. In one of several letters received from Mr. S. Percy Smith, Survevor- Gonoral of Now Zealand and founder of tho Polynesian Society, ho says: "I hope some of tho Hawaiian mem bo rs are going to contribute to tho Journal, for 1 am very anxious to prevent its becoming too local, for which reason 1 am holding back a long paper of my own on New Zea land matters. If you look at the list of our members, it will bo seen that one-seventh of them are from your parts, and yot wo have no papers from any of them." Tho report says Mr. Smith is an enthusiastic studont of Polynesian ethnology, and has discovered considerable now evi dence connecting tho Maories with tho natives of Kaiatoa and Hawaii nei. Corresponding members in tho United States have sent most grati fying expressions of interest in tho objects of tho sociotj'. Mr. Otis Mason, of tho Smithsonian Institute, says: "Please tell mo how your His torical Sociotj' is off in tho matter of Smithsonian publications. Every word 1 can learn about Hawaii is most grateful." Mr. J. F. limine well of Boston, in accepting tho position of corresponding member, says, "As some of my old ties with the Islands part, it is pleasant to mo to find a now association like this one forme." Mention is also made of cordial letters from Messrs. Austin, Bond and Gilman of Boston, Mr. Gowor of Now Haven, and Gon. Armstrong of tho Hampton Institute. Mr. Theo. H. Davios, whoso presence was not expected at this meeting when tho report was prepared, wrote from England, "Evorything that helps to connect mo with tho coun try and tjio friends whore most of my life has boon passed is a cause of gratification to mo, Dr. Hyde road his annual report as Recording Secretary. Tho Ha waiian Historical Society was organ ized January 11, 1892, 21 members signing tho constitution. Tho ollicors entered at onco on tho discharge of their duties, and, pursuant to ar rangements made by them, two papors were prepared and road be fore tho society at meetings hold January 28 and April 7. These woio by Prof, Aloxandor and Mr. Jos. S, Emerson, and havo been published as Nos. 1 and 2 of tho sorios, which' it is hoped to continue from year to yoar. Tho membership had touched tho number of 2JJ8, besides which 11) corresponding members had been elected. Tho report mentions vari ous transactions of tho society, in cluding a minuto adopted November Id, expressive of tho sorrow that bo fell tho society in tho death of Mr. A. J. Cartwright on July 12. Rev. R. R, Hoes, Librarian, read his report. It congratulated tho society on having a library of which it might bo proud. Mr. T. G. Thrum, Troasuror, pro- sonted his report, showing receipts of $571.20, and expenditures of &V23.80, leaving a balance; of $17.10, which added to amount in Savings Bank as by last report, $300, niakos tho total amount cash balance for first year $.117.10. In the purchase of books ,$!Hm was expended, on which charges were 11.80 addition al, and $10 was paid for a sol of Tho Friend. Tho reports were all accepted and placed on file. Mr. Hoes presented a list of names for membership, who woro elected on ono ballot deposited by the Secietary. Dr. Emerson proposed, as a corres ponding member, Mr. Appleton Sturgis of New York, an enthusiast ic collector, who was unanimously elected. Rev. S. E. Bishop, from a com mittee appointed previously, report ed on olhcers for the ensuing year, recommending the re-election of tho old officers with theexcoption of tho Treasurer who desired to bo relieved. The list, which was unanimously elected, is the lollowing: President, Hon. C. li. Bishop; Yieo-President, Mr. Jos. S. Emer son; Corresponding Secretary, Prof. W. D. Alexander; Recording Secretary, Rev. C. M. Hyde, D. D.; Librarian, Rev. Roswell Randall Hoes, U. S. N. Treasurer, Mr. Geo. l Castle. Her Majesty tho Queen is Patron of the Society. Hon. S. B. Dole, Justice of tho Supremo Court, was introduced to deliver an address on "Tho Evolution of Hawaiian Land Titles." Ho be gan in tho misty past of tradition, when those islands woro peopled Im migrations from othor groups. From tho patriarchal system of land tenure introduced by tho "pilgrim fathers" of Hawaiian to tho feudal system, the learned essayist led his hearers. Tho feudal system culmin ated in Kainehamoha tho Groat's subjugation of all tho islands. Tho I patriarchal period was tho industrial, een tho golden age ot Hawaii, when there was land as well as water enough for all. It was then that the great irrigation works, including parallel canals, and tho largo fish ponds remaining on Kauai to-day woio constructed, although even tra dition does not lecall their building. Judge Dole recounted the various advances made toward an equitable land tenure from tho time of Ka mehameha I., bringing in tho groat land division of 1817, when tho terri tory was about equally allotted to King, Chiefs and People. So closely jointed was the paper that a synop sis would not do it justice. It will be given to the public as ono of tho Socioty's sorios, aud will bo well woith any intelligent person's pro curing and preserving. Mr. Thuraton and Chief Justice Judd were asked to intake remarks but declined owing to tho lateness of tho hour. With a vote of thanks to the au thor, the paper was ordored for publication. Mr. Theo. H. Davios humorously ctedited the newspapers with giving him a position as a speaker of tho evening. Ho had got into tho habit on this, visit of picking up the local papers with soino trepidation, and Saturday evening found himself bill eted in the Bulletin for an addross. This morning tho Advertiser had improved on it by saying it was to bo "a brief address." (Laughter.) Ho felt a great deal of interest in Hawaiian history, and wo make his tory very fast horo just think of the number of Cabinets made in a fow weeks. (Laughter.) Ho had been led to think ho was getting into ancient history whon ho was asked the other day, as a friond of tho Ha waiians, to contribute to Kaumaka pili church, which reminded him of past days when ho had tho privilego of subscribing to Kaumakapili church about every month. (Laugh ter.) Ho looked on this kingdom as a working model and ho had, on be ing consulted in England on the opium question, been able to toll how Chinese planting corporations hero prevented airy of thoir members from dealing in opium. It would be very much to tho advantage of this place it il was roganieu more as a woricmg model, ami not expect from tho iniuiaiure engivo tno services oi a great leviathan. Decades horo woro as centuries in larger countries. Tho life of a mouso was as important to it as that of an olophaut to itself. Our little mistakes horo woro tele graphed all over tho world, while bigger mistakes made, say, in Brad ford woro novor hoard of outsido. The speaker roforred to tho interest with which historical things horo woro regarded abroad, instancing the eagerness with which Mr. Keid ol Now Zealand questioned him upon Prof, lirighani's work in tho Bishop Museum. Tho meeting adjourned and dis poned with general handshakings. Mr. Emerson asked the Bulletin re presentative to emphasize tho wol conio of everybody to tho Socioty's room in tho Library building. A Picture is always an acceptable prosont for Christmas. Tho Pacific Hardware Company havo just opened a lino of pictures comprising monochromes, artotypos, photogravures, Handall's and Guorin's, photographs, panels, cabinet framen, medallions on glass, pastels, steel engravings, etc. Their lines of Mouldings comprise the jatest patterns, awl picture framing is made a specially. An assortment of Cornice Poles, Brackets and Trimming, always on hand. A number of pictures woro sold tho day they woro opened, and tho continued demand is reducing tho assortment. Mr. J. C. Boswoll, ono of the best known and most respected citizens of Brownwood, Texas, suiforod with diarrhu'a for a long timo and tried many different remedies without buuofit, until Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera awl Diarrhoea Homedy was used; that roliovod him at once.

Editou Bulletin: S. E. Bishop in his article on his annexation scliomo says: "I havo not myself until very recently, adopted thoir views meauing annexation ists; but, the manifest tendency of events has latterly croated an irre sistible purpose upon my mind to admit that thoy aro in the right." Just so, Mr. Bishop; wo can readily understand that tho present cabinet (3-our friends) being in power onco more, restores back tho courago to advocate (indirect) treasonable prin ciples of annexation; which was killed for the timo being, through tho downfall of tho Thurston cabi net, with its bayonot clauso treaty, etc. Mr. Bishop will learn that be fore Uncle Sam will take tho least notice of annexation pleadings from horo, thoy will havo to come from the brown-skiunod natives tliom selvos, not from white-skinned specu lators. Tho natives, if true to thorn solves, aro safo under thoir Hag from Uncle Sam or anyone olso; but thoy must bo wary of thoir false friends with tho forked-toiurue. as thov will always watch and bo on tho alort, to deceive and defraud them, a la 1887, Mr. Bishop in former letters would have led tho people to boliovo that ho was a friond of Hawaiians. 1 honestly and sincerely boliovo tho Row S. E. Bishop to havo beoii a friend to Hawaiians only whon it paid him tho bettor to bo so. Furthermore, I sincorely boliovo that tho natives havo not had one true advisor and friond among tho many would-be leaders of our foul ana rotton politics, white, brow or black, since tho death of C son. But God is good to tho weak, liiero came to tho front tho good Samari tan, an English gentleman in tho person of Mr. Theo. H. Davios, who grasped tho cudgol, and struck out manfully against tho Philistine, for tho rights of Hawaii; and may God Almighty guide and protect him through life for so doing, is tho short, but sincere prayor of a hum ble sinner.

" I am a farmer, one of those who have to rise early and work late. At the beginning of last Winter I was on a trip to the City of Vicksburg, Miss, .where I got well drenched in a shower of rain. I went home and was soon after seized with a dry, backing cough. This grew worse every day, until I had to seek relief. I consulted Dr. Dixon who has since died, and he told me to get a bottle of Boschee's German Syrup. Meantime my cough grew worse and worse and then the Grippe came along and I caught that also very severely. My condition then compelled me to do something. I got two bottles of German Syrup. I began using them, and before taking much of the second bottle, I was entirely clear of the Cough that had hung to me so long, the Grippe, and all its bad effects. I felt tip-top and have felt that way ever since." PethrJ.Brials, Jr., Cayuga, Hines Co., Miss.

If you want an extra ten-dollar piece for Christmas now is your chance to get it. A year ago not only the tastes but the purses of the people leaned toward massive chandeliers with brass founts elaborate and expensive. At this time, with the "crash in sugar," or not, according to the opinions of different correspondents, the purses show a -tendency to enjoy closer relations with something less expensive. Our stock of chandeliers is admirably adapted to the wants of the rich whose ex checquors have experienced no change, or to those people whose circumstances warrant retrenchment, But everybody wants the maximum light at the minimum price. We appreciate the situation and beginning with Monday, De cember 5 th, we will offer you an opportunity to get a two, three or lour light chandelier complete with chimneys, globes, etc., at very reduced prices, They are perfect in every particular, neither store worn or broken; but they have glass instead of brass founts and we want to sell them. Times are going to be better and we want additional room for our stock of all-brass chandeliers. lust now the ceiling of our store room looks like an inverted forest and we want room floor room and ceiling room and we are willing to sacrafice twenty-five percent on the price of these goods to get it. A four-light fellow that you would have jumped at a year ago for $28 we will sell you this week for $21. Another one with twisted brass shank and arms, colored globes, imperial burn ers, goes to you at $15 it was cheap at $20, six months ago and it's just as good as the other only it has three in stead of four lights, quite enough for a small room be cause there's not so much heat in it. A two-light chan delier in brass, well suited for a dining room will be sold at 13.50, another just as good for 2. Colored globes and Ai burners with each of them. These goods have not been marked up to suit this occasion as you can see the selling tags that have been on them for the past six months slice off 25 percent and you have the price you can buy them for this week only. II you want light this is the opportunity of a life time to get it. The patterns are as modern as the price. Talk, about Schultze cart ridges! Our lot that was buried deep in the hold of the 'Albert" was dug up on Fri day and we can supply you with any guage or size of shot you may wish. "Dinna, ye hear the slogan" cartridges. If we have any cut glass remaining after it has been picked over next week, we will give you a detailed des cription of the pieces. Just now we tell you that they are small and inexpensive; beau tiful and recherche, fit for the Tsar's table and almost given away. Hawaiian Hardware Co., L'd 0iio. SjirocUilb' lllocU, Fort Street.
