Brief History of the Owner
shipIts Discovery.
According to the press of Berlin,
London and Paris, the desire of the
United States to acquire kusaie, or
Strong's island, in the Pacific, created
much, disturbance in European diplo
matic circles. "What had been recorded
as of minor importance when compared
with the acquisition of the Philippines
suddenly burst forth in Berlin as a sub
ject upon which Germany "should
make representations of remon
strance. In Lrondon it was Domted out
that besides being invaluable to the
States as a coaling station, making
that part of the Pacific secured by the
United States Navy and doubly fortify
ing their position in the Philippines,
the island would be particularly ser
viceable in connection with the new
cable, which from Strong's island can
take an admost due westerly course.
the other landing points beinsr Ruk
Lagoon, in the Caroline Archipelago,
and the Pelew Islands, and thence
northward to Manila. The island, al
though known to early Spanish navi
gators, was rediscovered by an Ameri
can whaler in 1804. In 1S24, the
Frenchman Duperry visited the island
and wrote of the value and importance
of the place: "It offers good ports for
careenage, abundance of water, and re
freshments of different sorts." A few
years ago Strong's Island just escaped
being included in the German protect
ed sphere of the Marshal Islands.
When the dispute arose between Spain
and Germany as to the ownership of
the Caroline Islands, which extended
over nearly twenty degrees of latitude,
the latter nation, when the Pope
awarded the group to Spain as hers by
prior right, was bitterly disappointed
at failing to induce his Holiness to in
clude Kusaie within the German bound
ary, Germany's own mid-Pacific naval
station, Jaluit, in the Marshal Islands,
being nothing but a sandy atoll, with
a bad entrance into a lagoon whose
waters are so shallow for a long dis
tance out from the shore as to be prac
tically useless as a naval station, ex
cept to small and light-draught ves
sels. Port Lele, on the eastern side of
Strong's Island, has a narrow, deep en
trance, (five to six fathoms), free from
obstructions. In the palmy days of
American whaling 1850 to 1860 the
ships would simply tie up to a rude
stone wharf, built by the natives for
the benefit of their always welcome
American visitors. The harbor is so
landlocked that the severest storms
fail to disturb its waters. The vegeta
tion on the island, it is said, is capable
of supporting a large population.

Mr. Craham'slChange.
The formal transfer of the Castle &
Cooke, Ltd., Hardware business to the
Hawaiian Hardware Company was
made on Saturday last, December 31,
1S9S. For the present there will be no
change of location. The Hawaiian
Hardware Company will continue in
business at the present stand and the
Castle & Cooke, Ltd., stock of hard
ware will remain just where it is and
business will go on just the same as of
old. Mr. Pinkham is manager of the
combined enterprise. The present con
ditions may not change till next year.
It is the purpose of the new owners of
the two stocks to form a corporation,
or to reorganize the Hawaiian Hard
ware Company and to have the whole
concern at the Fort street stores. The
Fort street building is to have a third
story. When work upon enlargement
of the building will begin is not yet
settled.
It is understood that Castle & Cooke.
Ltd., made the proviso in the transfer
that all of their employes in the hard
ware department should be retained by
the purchasers. With the exception of
one man all go over to serve under Mr.
Pinkham. This individual is Mr. C. A.
Graham, who was desired by the new
concern, but who concluded after con
sidering the offer to leave the corner of
Bethel and 'King and go over to the
Honolulu Iron Works. With the Iron
Works Mr. Graham will handle exact
ly the same line he has managed for
Castle & Cooke, Ltd. oils and engi
neers supplies. Mr. Graham is consid
ered an Al man in .this business as well
as in general hardware.

Pleasant Closing of Term for
Seminary.
KOHALA, Hawaii, Dec. 28. Wednes
day evening, December 21st was a red
letter day at the Kohala Seminary. The
close of the first term of the school year
was appropriately celebrated with a
Christmas festival, in which all the
pupus ot the school participated. The
exercises were held in the large school
room which was beautifully decorated
in holiday attire. IThe "exercises con
sisted of recitations, and music, both
ocal and instrumental. These exer
cises were greatly enjoyed by the large
audience, as the hearty and frequent
applause indicated. The very highest
praise is due to every member of the
laculty of the seminary for faithful and
conscientious work, as evidenced by the
excellent rendition of all the exercises.
The singing of the entire school was a
special feature of the evenings enter
tainment. At the close of the exer
cises gifts were distributed to the girls
from the Xmas tree. It was the unani
mous opinion of every one present that
Kohala Seminary is doing excellent
work for the girls under its care.
WHAT
CUBA'S LOSS
SPAIN.
MEANS TO
The loss of Cuba means to Spain the
loss of the very sustenance of, the na
tion. Already her tax-ridden people
are crying for bread. In the same way
the loss of your once vigorous appe
tite means poverty and starvation to
your 'body. If any reader of this pa
per wishes to be as hungry again as
when a child, and wants to fully enjoy
hearty meals, drink Seattle beer. It
cures indigestion and dyspepsia. On
tap or in bottles at the Criterion.
