Hawaiian Loflp No. 21 Fipres
in. History.
HALF A CENTURY OF MASONRY
Organization Here Under Califor
nia's Grand Lodge-First Meeting-Temple
Pictures.
Parts 4, 5, 6,7 and 8 of that superb
publication "Fifty Years of Masonry
in California," are being distributed
by the Hawaiian News Company. This
to members of the craft in the Islands
is a most interesting and valuable
subscription publication. It is. on the
art order, being illustrated with the
finest steel engravings and. half tones
and having initial letters of original
designs embellished in colors. The
eamon would prove an ornament to
any library. It is presumed that quite
a number of the Masons of this place
are securing the work.
Part 6 of "Fifty Years of Masonry
in California" is, of especial interest
to the local Mystic Tie men. It tells
of Hawaiian Lodge No. 21, which is
under the Grand Jurisdiction of Cali
fornia. The other lodges here are re
spectively attached to France and Aus
tralia. In this official record Hawai
ian Lodge No. 21 is set down as hav
ing held its first regular meeting on
Thursday evening, February 19, 1852.
There were present S. Lyon, John
Meek, Chas. W. Vincent, A. C. Mott,
J. Brown, D. P. Penhallow. Wni. Wond.
J. Irwin, J. G. Sawkins, F. W. Thomp
son and A. J. Cartwright. Petitions
were received from M. R. Harvey,
Henry Macfarlane, R. Coady, James
Dean and James Montgomery. The
first real business transacted was ar
rangement for purchase of a lot in
Nuuanu cemetery. Of the present
days the history says:
"Hawaiian Lodge No. 21 now num
bers 146 Master Masons on its roll and
is in a flourishing condition. We hope
that Masonry will soon be so flourish
ing in the Hawaiian Islands under the
flag of the United States that our
brethren there may have a grand
lodge of their own. In all of these
forty-five long years, Hawaiian No. 21
has been a bright star and a lighthouse
of brotherly love, relief and truth in
mid-ocean. The wandering brother on
the Sigh seas has been guided to a
port and haven of refuge and wel
comed to the warm fraternal em
braces of his faithful and loving breth
ren, awaiting to receive him with an
earnest and true aloha and to furnish
him poi either with or without a
spoon, and if cold would conduct him
to the largest and warmest kitchen
in the world, Kilauea, where the fires
are always aglow and the range con
sumes its own ashes after the yams
have been cooked.
"The lodge has had upon Us roll of
members grand, big-hearted men who
have been an honor and pride to the
craft. It has maintained its existence
under peculiar difficulties and under
an unstable government. Under these
uncertainties and lack of permanent
government our Hawaiian brethren
have gone ahead in laying the founda
tions of Masonry well, and have built
a temple of which they have a right
to feel proud."
Special mention is given the char
acters and services of the late Theo.
C. Porter and the late Alex. J. Cart
wright. Mr. Cartwright was a life
member of the California Society of
Pioneers.
It was 18S7 before the Grand Lodge
of California sent an official to visit
No. 21. The banquet on the occasion
was honored by the presnce of the
late King Kalakaua, he having been
a Mason. The inspector said that for
34 years Hawaiian Lodge had been
completely left to itself, life a waif in
mid-ocean, to sink or swim, survive or
perish a lone light-ship of Free Ma
sonry. I was pleased to find the Lodge
out of debt. From its location it has
frequent calls for charity and I learn
that a needy brother has never gone
empty-handed from its doors.
In this part 6 of the series are pic
tures of the Masonic Temple at the
corner of Hotel and Alakea, showing
both exterior and interior.
Exciting Runaway.
There was a very exciting runaway
on King street, near Thomas Square
about 6 o'clock last evening. A Chinese
cabman left his horse untied. In the
rik was a wee bit of a pake child.
Something frightened the horse and
away he went towards Union Square.
As the rig was jumping along after the
horse in front of J. B. Atherton's resi
dence, the child fell out and into the
road near the sidewalk. A number o
citizens were spectators and thought
that the little one must be seriously
injured. Very fortunately indeed, the
child was not hurt at all. It had fallen
from the seat to the floor, thence to the
step and out. The youngster was taken
to its home in the neighborhood.
Stockade Down.
The stockade which surrounds the
proposed Union Square site for the C. L.
Carter Memorial Fountain.will be gone
from the place entirely today. The
work of taking down the fence and fill
ing what excavation had been ma'de
was started yesterday under direction
of the committee. By evening only a
small pile of the lumber remained and
it was marked" all of last night by a
white light. A location for the foun
tain will be settled upon by committees
from the Citizens' Guard, the Senate
and the House. After the passage of
the resolution by the Legislature disap
proving of Union Square as a site, the
Interior Department sent notification
that the place could not be used. There
is again talk of locating the fountain
at the park. The fountain will be pf
native stone and will be a handsome
memorial.
To Promote Immigration.
Francis M. Hatch, Hawaiian Envoy
to the United States writes from Wash
ington recommending that the Govern
ment here appropriate the sum of
$250,000 to be devoted to the assistance
of emigration from the United States
to these Islands. The Cabinet has de
cided to refer the matter to the finan
ces commitees of the Senate and
House. The amount of $50,000 was set
aside at the last session of the Legis
lature and the same amount is in the
ar.oropriation bill for the present ses
sion for this purpose, but there was lit
tle call upon the fund. It was from this
source that Mr. Fitzgerald wished to
draw means to further his project of
placing a number of American farmers
on each plantation.
Hawaiian Relationship.
Native geanoliogy made plain by the
experts in the craft is puzzling enough
o most of the lawyers and judges and
to nearlv all the laymen. But when a
question of relationship comes up un
expectedly in a trial it produces mild
consternation. There was such an in
stance before Judge Perry in the Cir
cuit Court yesterday, with Deputy At
torney General Dole on one side and
Charles Creighton on the other. This
is the statement of fact and question,
with the answer yet to come:
My mother (A) had a sister (B) who
had a son (C), and he had a wife (D),
whose sister (E), was this man's (F)
wife, and in that way they were con
nected. What is the relationship be
tween A and F?
Japanese Woman Hurt.
Dr. Reginald Reid of Waialua arriv
ed in town yesterday with the news
that a Japanese woman fell into one
of the cane rollers at Kahuku planta
tion at about 10 o'clock in the morning
and was very seriously hurt. This was
received over the telephone at Waialua
from Geo. Weight at Kahuku. The ex
tent of the injuries were not commu
nicated. The unfortunate woman will
arrive in town early this morning.
Provision for her at the hospital has
already been made.
Queen Victoria's Birthday.
The 79th anniversary of Queen Vic
toria's birthday will this year be cele
brated on the evening of May 24th by
a ball at Independence park in aid of
the funds of the British Benevolent So
ciety. The tickets, price $2.50, admit
ting a gentleman and ladies, will be in
the hands of the members of the sub
committees of the general committee of
British residents tomorrow. The Brit
ish societies are working in cordial co
operation to make this dance a grand
success.

SENATE.
Seventy-second Day, May 10.
When the President affixes his sig
nature to the bill passed by the Senate,
it will be unlawful for laundrymen to
sprinkle clothes with the mouth. The
Senate passed the bill at third reading
and it goes to the Committee on Re
vision. The bill is aimed to stop the
almost universal practice in Chinese
laundries of sprinkling clothes by ejec
ting a spray of water from the mouth.
The bill is a sanitary measure. A
similar enactment has been rigidly en
forced in San Francisco for nearly a
year past. It is not known that any
specific case of sickness has been
traced to this cause in Honolulu but
physicians assert that a grave danger
exists.
The House bill amending the land
act relating to the provision for leased
ands passed first reading, was read
by title and went to the Committee on
PnhliV T anile
Senator Holstein was granted leave
of absence until Saturday.
The House bill creating on Auditor-
LGeneral's Department passed first read-
ng. After reading second -time by
title the bill went to the Finance Com
mittee. The plumbing bill was taken up on
second reading with majority and min
ority reports. On motion of Senator
Lyman Hilo was included in the regu
lations for Honolulu. As amended by
the Senate the . Board of Plumbers is
to consist of three members, the Sup
erintendent of Public Works as chair
man, the Inspector of Plumbing and
one master plumber. An amendment
was passed changing the requirements
for size and quality of surface pipes
and the bill passed second reading.
Third reading was set for P riday.
The Finance Committee reported
that they have nearly completed the
examination of the various depart
ments. Senator Lyman gave notice of his
intention to introduce an act for the
building of a railroad on the Island
of Hawaii.
At 12 o'clock, the Senate adjourned.
HOUSE.
Speaker Kaulukou was not present
at the opening of the House so the
Vice-Speaker took the chair. Mr. Kau
lukou arrived in about a half hour.
Rep. Gear stated that the Minister
of the Interior ad interim had prom
ised to answer questions regarding
Richards street slip by Monday. No
thing had been heard of it and he
would move that time be extended
until Wednesday and to no later dote.
Rep. Pogue stated that some of the
Ministers might be able to explain.
None were present. Thereupon Rep.
Gear withdrew his motion until later.
The following resolutions were pre
sented and referred to the Commit
tee on Public Lands:
Achi That $1,000 be inserted in the
appropriation bill for a bridge over
the stream at Waimea, Hawaii, where
the lives of two men had recently been
lost.
Gear That a suitable appropriation
be inserted in the appropriation bill,
to fix up Beretania street from the
Kapahulu road to the tramways
tables.
The matter of consideration of the
resolution setting a date for the ces
sation of introduction of bills in the
House was the special order of the
day. Rep. Achi made a long speech
on the subject stating various reasons
why he believed the resolution, already
adopted, an injustice and a blockade
against the- voice of the people.
Rep. Pogue moved for the readoption
of the resolution setting the date for
cessation of introduction of bills in the
House for April ISth. Only three voted
against this.
Second reading House bill 57, relat
ing to incorporated companies. After
considerable discussion, further consid-
oration was doforrod until Wednesday.
Second reading of House bill 50, re
lating to the Land Act. Further con
sideration deferred until Wednesday.
Second reading and passage of House
bill 79, relating to the practice of vete
rinary surgery, medicine and dentis
try. Third reading and passage of House
bill 64, relating to the construction of
railways.
A FT i : U N O C) X S E S S It) N .
At the opening of the afternoon ses
sion which, was delayed about 15 min
utes, Rep. McCandless moved that the
House go into caucus for 15 minutes
for the purpose of considering an im
portant matter. This was carried and
the reporters were asked to depart.
The House remained in session for
about a half hour when Reps. Robert
son and Pogue, understood to be a
committee, walked upstairs into the
Senate chamber. They returned after
about five minutes and the House
again went into deliberation until
after 3 o'clock. The clerk and ser-
geant-at-arms were asked to absent
themselves. When the doors were
thrown open again the motion was
made and carried that the House ad
journed. It is understood that the matter un
der consideration during the caucus
was the present relations between the
United States and this country and
the matter of neutrality. Conferences
will be held between committees of the
Senate and House and in a few days
some line of action will be decided
on.
Soldiers After Gold.
Three men formerly in the National
Guard barracks here, are now in quest
of gold in the frozen north. Sanstrom
and Turner, both young fellows, have
written from Chilcoot Pass, enclosing
their picture in heavy traveling appar
el. Urband Conklin, who was also a
Grand Army man here, sends word
that he is progressing on the way to
the placer fields. Sanstrom and Turner
are "boys" above the average here and
left with good records and .bearing the
best of wishes for their success. Mr.
Conklin has the backing of some of the
solid men of the town. He has been in
mining before. Conklin was one of the
men at Bertleman's place in Waikiki in
January, 1895, When the house was un
der rifle bombardment from Diamond
Head. Conklin was out in the open
shooting at insurgents at long range.
The extractor of his Springfield broke
and he had to use the ramrod to get
the shells out. One bullet from above
struck the ramrod from Conklin's
hand, bus scarcely disturbed the veter
an. He is a very cool and a decidedly
brave man.
For July 4.
In a few days there will be called a
meeting of the committee on Fourth of
July celebration that was selected last
year when Minister Sewall presided at
the public meeting in the Arlington
hotel. This will be for the purpose of
deciding in a way upon what should be
done for an 1898 celebration. It is ex
pected that the usual program will be
followed, with fireworks as a feature.
J. A. Kennedy, by the way, has an
nounced that he declines to any longer
serve as director general for the pyro
technic department.
In West River District.
The acting secretary of the sanitary
board has informed the Hongkong
Press that rinder pest exists at the
present time at Macao, Canton, and
along the delta of the West river, bul
that every possible precaution is being
taken by the officers of the sanitary
board to prevent the importation of
infected meat into the markets of
Hongkong colony.
