WHY NATIVES WERE SHOWN No Reflection On Hawaii Was In tended Simply Wanted to Interest Populace. The Philadelphia Commercial Mus eum, 233 South Fourth Street, Phil adelphia, December 16th, 1898. EDITOR P. C. A. We have at hand your issue in which you refer editor ially to the Peace Jubilee celebrations in this city and to the part taken in the parades by this institution. The tone of your editorial is such that we feel called upon to explain the circum i stances to you to alter, if possible, the impression which you have formed of the affair. There have been a number of jubilees in different cities of the United States to celebrate the cessation of hostili ties between this country and .'Spain, and of these jubilees probably the most elaborate was the one held in this city. There was a great naval re view of war vessels, and two large pa rades on two successive days, the one being entirely military and the other civic, in tne civic parade there were a great number of fanciful and em blematic tableaux, arranged on floats in order to suggest to the eye some of the products and some of the natural wealth of the territories recently ac quired by the United States. Among these floats were the ones furnished by this institution, to which your editorial refers. In each case the floats were in charge of natives, or rather aborigines of the country in review. This was not with the slightest intention of giv ing the empression that the Islands were solely or even principally peo pled by races of this kind, but merely in order to appeal to the interest of the populace here, which is always pleased at the sight of races different from its own, but which certainly never derives a wrong impression of the proportion ate power and influence of such races. We have in this country, for instance, a traveling show, which is patronized everywhere, called Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, made up namely of In dians, buffaloes and wild horses. This show, as we have said, is largely at tended wherever it has been brought and has created a great interest even in London and other European cities. We do not suppose that one out of the hundreds of thousands of . spectators who have witnessed this show have any notion that the western part of this country is principally peopled by. In dians and buffaloes. They are relics of the past which must appeal to every body, and which in a way belong to the education of everybody; so in the same way now that the West India Islands, the Hawaiian and the Philippine Islands have come under the control of the United States their destinies are forever linked with those of this coun try, yet there can certainly be made no complaint if our citizens show some interest for the peoples which have in habited them in the past. They will not be led thereby to believe that the same peoples are responsible for their management and control at present, or that they will be in the future. They will not think of these peoples as cit izens of the United States any more than they will think in that way of our own Indians, yet because a race is sta tionary, or going backward, we see no reason why a general public desire to be informed about it should not be sat isfied. - This desire in regard to our new territories is still greater, in view of the fact that they are to a great de gree unknown to the American public. As far as concerns the article in a Philadelphia newspaper, which is re printed in your issue, we must disavow all responsibility for it and for the statements contained in it. We can not be held accountable for a descrip tion given, evidently in a spirit of fun, by a newspaper reporter, to whom we did not grant an interview or make any of the statements which are at tributed by him to our director, or any of our staff. Our action in including Hawaiian natives in an exhibit of Ha waiian natural wealth we do not con sider to be reprehensible, nor do we believe that you on second thought will thing so either. At any rate, we should very much appreciate a word in your columns as summary of what we have endeavored to explain to you. Trusting that the bad impression which you had perhaps justly formed of the proceedings will now cease, and holding ourselves always at your dis posal, we remain, Very respectfully yours. THE PHILADELPHIA COMMERCIAL MUSEUM. The mischievious article of the paper referred to cannot be taken as a joke at all. The people here have heard of Buffalo Bill's show. A good many of them have seen it. The Hawaiians are not a "relic of the past," but are very much in evidence in the life of this country. The explanation of the Mus eums people is received in the spirit in which it is sent. An Earthciuake Register. Professor XV. D. Alexander expects to establish in or near Honolulu at an early date an earthquake obser vation station. A wealthy scientist in England has offered to supply the in struments required and it is believed the looai government will provide a' building. A register of the most ex quisite delicacy will be used. It is likely that there will be considerable trouble in having blasting operations showing on the records. oooooooooooooooooo o O O O o o o o o o o o A FAMILIAR FACE. This is an excellent likeness of that charming and talented villian Julien D. Hayne, erst while the petted darling of the invective section of the local political discontents. Hayne o o o o o o o o O o O O O O O JULIEN D. HAYNE. (Alias Jas. D. Hallen.) o o O first came to these Islands in O 1S93 as an attorney. He met O O O o O some of the leading citizens by O attending a meeting of the So O cial Science Club. These gen- O tlemen wrote to the States about o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o O him and learned that he was O. under cover and dropped him. O However, he borrowed money O from more than one of them. O As a rule, with Julien, to bor O row was to keep. In 1896 Mr. O Hayne came back here -with a O 'bride and plenty of money. On O this trip he cut a swath as O wide as the harbor. He pub- CD lished a royalist magazine, was O prosecuted for libel, made fin- O ished and forceful addresses in O the Courts and elsewhere. He O wrrote ably with a venom that O was a bit too apparent. His O strictly literary productions O were fine. He used his wife's O money here and in trips to San O Francisco till a grown son of O the woman's by a former mar CD riage induced her to return to O the States. There Hayne be came a fugitive by absconding O Mvith securities that constituted O the remainder of the deluded O wife's fortune. The next heard O of Hayne is as "Jas. D. Hallen, O Attorney, New York City." He O is charged with swindling a fe O male client out of $16,000, and O there is a bigamy indictment be- O hind this. Julien D. Hayne is O a freak, a study in criminology, O He is a man of exalted mental O attainments and of most engag- O ing manners. Remarkably eift- O ed and an industrious student, O handsome, graceful and affable, O he would shine anywhere. But O as nearly as can be learned he O has all his life been a high class O bilk and fraud. In conversation O at times Hayne would almost O admit his glaring, faults and O rather smile at them. O o o OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO They Had Wheels. About half of the whole number of the young men of the Kamehameha schools were about town yesterday. The uniformed students seemed to be thoroughly enjoying their holiday. For one diversion they resorted to the wheel. A number of them have ma chines of their own and others chart ered mounts. The result was a fine wheel parade about the streets. POPULAR PRICES. L. B. Kerr has a fine display of mil linery goods at his Queen street store, and is quoting prices upon other goods that cannot fail to attract buyers. AT THE CONCERT Hall Prove! Too Small the ' Patronage. For Mi ENTERTAINMENT OF MERIT Program That Was Liked Many Encores Orchestra An Address Made. The New Year's concert given in the Y. M. C. A. hall last evening was a financial and an artistic success. The concert hall was crowded with people. Long before 8 o'clock all of the seats were taken. Though chairs were placed in the aisles, about 100 people were standing in the rear of the hall. At least 500 people were present. A few minutes after 8 the Amateur Orchestra came on the stage which was prettily bordered with palm plants. Under the direction of Wray Taylor the large orchestra of twenty-fourj pieces played The Venus, by Carl Bigge. The selection was well rendered and re ceived hearty applause. Mr. C. A. Elston, the tenor, has es tablished himself with the music-lovers of Honolulu. The quality of his voice was well suited to the words of the song which he selected. Mr. Els ton responded to an encore. It is not often that one hears a mas ter hand sweep the strings of the harp. Madame Le Munyon gave two selec tions on that difficult instrument and won appreciation from her hearers. There is a gracefulness in her execu tion and a sweetness of tone that can not but please. Mrs. F. w. Bosworth possesses a beautiful soprano voice and sang with good effect last evening. At the wish of the audience she sang an encore, which showed a voice well trained and capable of reaching the higher notes and sustaining them with ease. The orchestra gave for its second number, captivating, Dy 'loDani, a beautiful conception, which captured the audience, who demanded its repe tition. The bass soloist, Mr. F. W. Beardslee, a stranger to 'Honolulu audiences, won great popularity last evening. Mr Beardslee played the guitar in accom paniment to his songs, which were simple melodies of emotion and yet, when sung by him, they seemed to awaken into power. Mr. Beardslee has a voice deep and full, yet peculiarly at tractive. The audience called him back twice and then by a long applause expressed a wish to hear his voice again. The mandolin and guitar duet by Miss Frazier and Chas. R. Frazier was a successiui renuuion or a aimcuit se lection. Coming before the audience again in response to a long applause they gave a lively selection Which put the audience into a good humor. Miss Jenne M. Long gave two read ngs. Miss Long interprets with abil ty, being especially good in the strong emotions. Her work as Hagar was im pressive. . After a march played by the Amateur Orchestra, Mr. T. Clive Davies ad dressed the audience. Mr. Davies gracefully thanked those who had tak en part in the program. He made special mention or Mr. Wray 'layior, who had labored with energy and abil ity in organizing and training the Ama teur Orchestra and to him was due the credit for the splendid music furnished by that organization. Mr. Davies spoke of the past year, its successes and defeats, its sorrows and joys. He layed stress on the thought that the young men of the present should live worthily that they might fill the places occupied by those who go before. He spoke of the word "good-bye and its meaning of "God be with you." With that wish for all he believed that it would in reality be a "Happy New Year." The money received for tickets of ad mission to the concert will be given to the Amateur Orchestra organization, and will be used for purchasing a piano and defraying necessary expenses. aneu .uuiiwer iiuiuu. . John M. Vivas was at the head of a! delegation of C00 Portuguese citizens i 1 V Makes the food more ROYAL BKIWQ calling on Minister S. M. Damon early yesterday morning to tender to that official the greetings of the New Year. The Concordia band led the marching column. An address was made by Mr, Vivas, who reierred 'most earnestly to ths many kindnesses that had been ex tended to the colony as a whole and to individual members by Mr. Damon. The Minister of Finance responded feelingly and then there was a season of handshaking. ; later-Island Luau. The annual luau of the employes of the Inter-Island Steam Navigation Company was held at noon yesterday in the restaurant at the corner of Nuu anu and Queen streets. About 100 ot the native sailors were in attendances and enjoyed the feast immensely. Frank Harvey, the shipping master, was the presiding genius and settled all disputes, besides seeing that the service of the big meal was proper in every way. The wives of a few of tho men were present on special invitation. The luau continued for a couple' of hours and the proceedings included cheers for the Inter-Island Company and for about all the officers of the corporation, name by name. WATSON'S LUCK. Husband of Emma Spreckels Heir to Many Millions. Thomas Watson, the well-known grain broker, and his wife, formerly Emma Spreckels, are preparing to make an extended tour of the world, and will sail, says the San Francisco Chronicle about the middle of January for New Zealand. From there they will proceed to Hawaii, Australia, Tas mania, South Africa, and then to Eu rope. An extended tour of continental Europe will he followed by a visit to England, where Watson expects to re main some time and devote this atten tion to a legal contest, which he hopes wiil bring him a princely fortune. Watson has been telling his friends that he Is the heir of property In Ens land valued t 9,000,000. He has pa pers in his possession, he declare, that show him to be entitled to nearly one aa.it of the town of Carlisle. He dis likes litigation very much, and he hae. been telling his friends, .but they have urged him to assert his rights, and he has at last determined to see what can be done to secure the big fortune. The property is said to have been formerly owned by a great-great aunt of Mr. Watson. JVIr. and Mrs. Watson expect to be gone about a year. They have given jp their residence at 2260 Franklin street, and, pending their departure, are residing at the California Hotel. Odd Fellows Install. Harmony Lodge, I. O. O.

"Them Eyetalians is a fine lot of young fellers,"-remarked one of the harbor policemen yesterday in speak ing of the officers and men belonging: to the cruiser Etna. "They're polite and give us a regular Eyetalian opera down here on the waterfront every night, and talk about dancin, well, those boys have a sort of dance like the Russians. They join hands, give a double shuffle and a break away. It's Immense." "Hard to talk to?" "I reckon. Took me half an hour to tell some of them where King street was the other day. But they're fine fellows just tho same." CAVALRY AND ARTILLERY. Carefully collected figures show that the proportion of cavalry to the other arms has been steadily diminishing for a long period.
