A POPULAR SOCIETY EVENT
Program From the Norwegian's
Compositions Decorations Hall
Crowded The Career of Greig.
The Musical Circle of the Kilohana
Art League treated the members of
that organization to a Greig- evening, in
the hall on Fort street last night. It
was a pretentious undertaking, but one
that turned out most successfully. It
was the first time that anything of the
kind had been attempted in Honolulu.
The elite of the city was out in num
bers large enought to fill the hall to
overflowing. Indeed, at the end of the
first part of the program, several peo
ple found it necessary to leave the hall.
The crowd was too great and the at
mosphere too close for comfort.

The decorations -of the small stage
were Norwegian throughout. Norweg
ian flags were draped gracefully here
and there, while Norway pines from
Tantalus were set about to complete
the decorations. Mrs. W. Graham and
Mrs. F. R. Day had charge of this part
of the arrangements for the evening.

All the selections were most credit
ably done. Professor Berger was the
composer of the selections presented by
himself.
The .second number on the program
was the following biographical sketch
of Edward Greig, prepared and read
by Mr. J. F. Brown.
There is a natural desire on the
part of all cf us to know something
of the life and character of those
whose names are famous in the world
art. and surely such curiosity is
most natural as regards those who
have spoken to us in that strange
language whose only interpreter is the
heart of the listener. We are here
this evening to listen to the music cf
one wno stands in the front rank: ot
modern composers, and whose circle
cf admirers, to whom music is more
sweetnes-
ever
Before continuing the program, it
may be of interest to note a few of the
dllien't points of his history. Ed wan.
Grieg was born in 1S43 in the city o
Bergen, Norway. He had the advan
tage cf having in his parents, those
who recognized his musical talent, and
fostered them to the fullest extent, his
mother being in fact his first teacher
when he ivas six years old
His first efforts at composition were
at the age cf nine, and at fifteen he
had determined on musical art for his
profession. This decision seems part
ly to have been reached by the advice
of Ole Bull, the violinist, who was a
warm friend of the family and ad
mirer of the boy.
His earl' studies in Leipsic under
the famous musicians of the day, were
interrupted by serious illness which
compelled a return to Norway, his
health heing seriously impaired. He
returned to Leipsic however, and gra
duated from the conservatory in 1S62
The following year he .was in Copen
hagen under the instruction of Gade,
(Whose methods seem to have been
imore congenial than' those of the
Leipsic conservatory, but there was
that burning in the young composer
.that led him on other (paths than those
of Gade, to whom the caustic critics
of the day applied with more wit than
justice, the title of Mrs. Mendelssohn.
Influenced by the companionship of
Nordrask, a young Norwegian com
poser of merit, and following the bent
cf his own inclination, Greig speedily
-became absorbed in the study of the
folk lore, literature and music of his
country. To this period numerous
compositions among which the Humo
resken Opus 6 immediately following
on our program, belong.
It is also at this period, that he met
the lady whom he afterwards married
and who is said to have inspired nu
merous compositions. I am not able
to point to amy number of the program
as !being thus directly inspired, whiich
is to be regretted, as it would have
been interesting to have learned
through the medium of his music, just
what the feelings of the great com
poser were when in love.
It is not improbable however, that
number 3. C. of the program, "I Love
Thee," will meet the requirements, as
the .date 1864 is close to the time of
meetinig his future wife, and the title
is suggestive. As this particular song
moreover is stated by a competent
critic to lack the usual Scandinavian
character, and to partake of the Ger
man, it may indicate some special dis
turbance of Greig's mind.
From this time on the life of Greig
was a busy one. Given not only to
the musical compositions that have
won his fame but too the furthering
of the musical art wherever he might
do so. Eight j-ears of his life from
66, to 74, were spent in the Norwegian
capital, where he founded a Musical
Union, and by his energy and untiring
interest gave important stimulas to
the musical life of the town.
Greig received from his countrymen
not only their admiration and esteem,
but the more substantial, and even
to a musician, necessary tribute in a
financial way. In 1869 an allowance
of Parliament enabled him to visit
Rome, and to make the warm friend
ship of Listz -and in 1874 a further
allowance of 1,600 crowns was granted
him.
A friend who had some acquaintance
with Greig during a sojourn in Copen
hagen, describes him to me as being
short in stature, affable and unaffected,
and somewhat indifferent to the con
ventionalities. Greig with his friends Neuport and
Schytte, both accomplished pianists
and musicians, formed a trio wftcse
music was a revelation and delight.
My friend gently intimates that the
best of musicians may not be, in fact,
were not the "best of business men,
and that it was a privilege, which
however he valued, to occasionally as
sist in tiding over a brief impecunious
season. He looked back to this period
with rare delight and satisfaction.
On one occasion, Greig, while play
ing the minuet from his E minor so
nata, turned and remarked to my
friend and other listeners, "Now isn't
that diabolique" which recalls the
statement that is made, that some of
the popular Scandinavian tunes are
attributed to the devil and other super
natural agencies. At any rate, the
particular passage that Greig referred
to is so effective and of siioh peculiar
charm, that the devil should have felt
complimented.
It would be impossible in th rime
that can be. given to this subject, to
make more than brief reference to
Greig's life and work.
The distinctive feature of Greig's
music is its National character, colored
by, and reflecting the old Norse melo
dies and folk songs, and animated
with all bv the fire and genius cf one,
himself in ardent sympathy with his
nation's life and history. It is prob
ably not too much to say, that Greig's
music, stamped as it is with his '.wn
individuality, will be like a minted
coin, standard of value hereafter for
all Norwegian music.
It is marked by the greatest freedom
of rhythm and emphasis, by lights
and shades of extreme contrast, in the

STEAM LAUNDRY ACT PASSED
House Committee Uoes Not Favor
Extending Tramway Com
pany's Franchise.
SENATE.
Fifty-sixth Day, April 21.
Upon the recommendation of the
Judiciary Committee the following
joint resolution was unanimously
adopted and sent to the House:
"Be it resolved that it is the sense
of the. Legislature of the Republic of
Hawaii that the occupation of a certain
portion of Union Square in the city of
Honolulu, Island of Oahu, by a memo
rial fountain will be an obstruction to
the 'public use of said square and be it
further resolved that, a copy-of this
concurrent resolution be furnished to
the Executive."
Judiciary Committee recommended
laying on the table House bill repeal
ing the act to facilitate the recovery
of rent. On the .motion cf Senator Rice
to a:dopt the report Senator McCand-
less said that it was one of the worst
acts on the statute. It gave the land
lord a hold upon the tenant and an
advantage over merchants and worked
a hardship. Merchants were compell
ed to trust while 'the landlord had a
lien on the property of the tenant.
Senator Schmidt supported Senator
McCandless.
Senator Brown said the act worked
no hardship upon the honest man who
paid his bills. The law, he said, was
only used in extreme cases. As a rule
it was never taken advantage of. Under
the law the goods must be advertised
for sale and 30 days must elapse dur
ing which the tenant had an opportu
nity to redeem his gojods.
Minister Smith said he was in favor
of retaining the law, yet he thought
the bill should not be treated in a
summary way. During the years of
his experience in renting houses he
had known of very few cases where
the law had worked a hardship. He
had known of many cases where the
landlord had been defrauded by schem
ing or ignorant tenants.
Senator McCandless spoke again fior
the tenant. He said he had seen dur
.ing the last six months many men
who had been broken up by this pro
cess. The landlord had come down
and taken the goods out to the auction
room and there they had been sold.
He characterized the landlords in this
custom as "sharks who come down
like an eagle on the prey simply to
devour it." The Senator said that the
landlord risked only the interest on
his investment in the shape of rent.
The merchant in trusting risked his
capital. The Senator's amendment to
consider the report with the bill was
lost. The report of the committee lay
ing the bill on the table was then
accepted.
On recommendation of the Joint
Committee on Public Lands the Senate
concurred in the House technical am
endments to the wide tire bill,
The report of the Judiciary Com
mittee recommended the passage of
the House bill providing for the ap
pointment of an extra Circuit Judge.
The report is to be considered with
the bill.
Senator Holstein gave notice of his
intention to introduce a bill amend
ing the act relating to milk and No
taries Public.
Minister Cooper gave notice of his
intention to introduce an act amend
ing the act relating to the national
guard and sharpshooters.
The Finance Committee reported
verbally recommending the passage,
in appropriation bill 4, of an item of
$3500 for an exhibit at the exposition
in Omaha. Upon the statement of Sen
ator Waterhouse that the exhibit was
to be entirely separate from the Ha
waiian village and the show portion
of the exposition, the appropriation
was passed.
On the motion of the Attorney-General
an item of $1,500 for water filtra
tio ninvestigation was passed.
On the item of subsidy to a boat to
urn Molokai, Lahaina and Lanai,
the Attorney-General said there was
no objection to the Mokolii as she had
done valuable service. The business
had simply grown too great for her.
The House bill relating to assault
and battery passed third reading.
The Health Committee recommended
the passage of the House bill provid
ing against the adulteration of food
and drugs. The bill was read section
by section and passed second reading
with slight amendments. Third read
ing was set for Monday.
The Health Committee recommended
the passage of the bill providing for
issuing licenses for steam laundries
with amendments. The license fee was
placed at $50 and the limit of loca
tion extended to the District of Kona,
this Island. The bill passed second
reading. Third reading was set for
Monday.
(Minister Cooper gave notice of his
intention to introduce an act authoriz
ing the Government to acquire posses
sion of ancient heiaus and puuhonuas.
At 11:50 o'clock, the Senate adjourn
ed. HOUSE.
Rep. Pogue reported for the majori
ty of the special electric railway cora
mitteo on House bill 31, an act to ex
pend the franchise of the Hawaiian
Tramways Company, Limited, to con
struct and operate a street railway in
Honolulu,' as follows:
"The franchise by which said cor
poration operates, was granted during
the session of the Legislature of 1884;
to Wm. It. Austin and his associates
and assigns, or such corporation as
might be incorporated or organized by
him or them.
"That an extension of time for the
completion and equipment of this rail
road was granted in 18SS to extend to
September 15th, 1889.
"That the right to use electric' pow
er was granted by the Legislature or
1890, and extended by the Legislature
of 1895, until January 1st, 1897; such
right having expired by limitation on
above date.
"That the object of this bill is not
only to extend for 33 years more, the
original franchise to Wm. R. Austin
and associates, but also to re-grant
the use of electric power or other
mechanical power.
"Your committee further find, on
careful and extensive inquiry, that the
service given by the said company to
the public in the past has not been
altogether satisfactory.
"That there- being a .large majority
of the stock of this company owned
abroad, none 'of the directors are resi
dents of our Republic. The company
may therefore be strictly termed a for
eign corporation.
"That, inasmuch as there is another
bill -before this House to grant a fran
chise to a company to be composed, or
very largely so, of our own residents,
and that, by the terms of that fran
chise, the directors and other persons
having charge, management and con
trol thereof, shall be residents of our
Islands, that such a corporation could
be strict'iy called a domestic corpora
tion. "We consider that all domestic cor
porations should at least be allowed
the same benefits and privileges as a
foreign.
"We believe that the Hawaiian
Tramways Company, Limited, has
had ample opportunity and time to in
augurate eiectric power in the place of
animal.
"Inasmuch, therefore, as this foreign
corporation has had ample opportunity
in the past, to make use of improvel
motive power we .would recommend
that our own people be n'cw granted
the same opportunity, and that this
bill be laid on the table."

Rep. Aohi presented the following
report of the minority of the commit
tee on the same bill which, with the
majority report, was laid on the table
to be considered with the bill:
"Your committee consider that it is
proper that certain privileges should
be given to the above mentioned com
pany so as to enable them to dispense
with the hauling of their cars by old
mules upen the streets of the city; and
that they be allowed to extend their
lines to the streets which they ask for,
subject to the following conditions:
1. "That they be allowed to charge
the same rate as is proposed by the
Rapid Transit Company.
2. "That they give up their ex-
