TUP: iconoclastic hammer of the
auctioneer will knock down this
morning one of the landmarks
..f Honolulu. The Arlington
Hotel, its furnishings and all the fit
tings of the entire establishment will
be sold to the highest bidder.
Before the echoes of the auctioneer's
mallet have died away the wreckers
will have bej?un the work of tearing to
. s the bttUding and dismantling the
beautiful grounds so long the home of
charming hospitality and in which so
many earners to Hawaiian shores have
looked their first on the foliage and ex
quisite growths of the Islands.
In the weathei beaten old house a fu
ture queen spent her childhood; from it
she went out the wife of a Governor to
bcRin a life of rare activities.
The lanala and halls of the mansion
have heard a thousand times the whis
perings of love, the froufrou of laces
worn by the fairest of Island women
and the music of the dance when the
gayest of society whiled away the even
ings In a round of pleasures.
The winding paths and tangled gar
den walks could tell fetchng tales of
youth's heyday.
But the Arllng ; ;i hns known other
and sterner scer. .-. Once it held the
soldiers of a nation upholding the hand-;
nf a new-born government; again when
the black death had blighted the land
and Azrael overshadowed the city by
night and by day a feather of the dread
angel's wing fell amid the beauties of
tho place.
The Arlington Hotel has a most
unique and Interesting history. !t Is

PHOTOGRAl hk:
one of the moat biatoric spots in all
Honolaltt) embracing as it does the
scenes of JoyonanOM un4er royalty, '
through the stirring days of '93, when I
the Bo ton's troops were encamped, the j
pettinesses of a boarding house and :
'lown to the present day as the Arling
ton Hotil.
It is to-day. as it was fifty years ago, 1
a most lovtly und cool place of resi- j
l.-nre. Fiom the fact of its more than
OriMaary tatereat to the old residents L
of Honolulu, many of whom express
sorrow that the march of time has
COOSjad the scythe to fall and, aa they
look back to the years they have pass
ed and ie-passed this famous place, it
mak s them feel very aged indeed.
To the old, the o.i.-otn'mg years Ad
vance so swiftly, they h.irdly reckon

time until some sudden event brings
in Its path a sense of loss, such as this
auction at the Arlington, for instance. '
But the exigencies of business de- '
maad that these beautiful gardens
must lo and their place be filled by the !
handsome modern block of buildings to
be erected by Alexander Young. Many
maiihinis coming straight from the
colder regions of the states, retain live
ly emotions .f their first stay at the
Arlington. The mocking birds, whist
ling magpie, cockatoo, canaries,
ehl k na, qponkey. doves. qu$rreJa and
other :uiimal!; the beds of ferns, the
Bare i -smelling Sower; all combined to
make the scene one of charming con
cision and delight. It was as if one
bad been transplanted into some Ara- I
Man Nights story, or like Little Alice.
R BY DAVEYi
In o she gets her first insight Into
Wonderland.
It was in truth a sort of wonderland
to many a grown-up child, whose home
was among the pine-clad hills and
crested snow-bound mountains or the
great rough cities of the mainland.
Soon all these will be in truth only a
memory! Perhaps very few have given
a passing though to the poor animals
so shortly to be Separated. It is well
known that both birds and animals
C el acutely a change of quarters. These
poor creatures who have dwelt to
gether for many years w ill part to meet
no more.
Only last week LiUuukalattl spoke
most feelingly and touchlngly regard
ing the passing- away of her childhood's
home. How close to her heart was this
! estate with the beautiful name, many
; be inferr. d by this brief extrac t from
1 her book, "Hawaii's Story:" "The es-
i tate whic h had been so clear to us both
(meaning Mrs. Bernice Pauahi Bishop)
in my childhood, the, house built by my
! father, PakI, where I had lived as a
gill, which was connected with many
happy memories of my married life,
j from whence I had been married to
Governor Dominis, when he took me to
Washington place, 1 could not help
feeling ought to have been left to me.
The estate was called Haleakala, or
House of the Sun, and the residence re
ceived the name of Aikupika; ltt both
are forgotten now in that of the Ar
lington Hotel. This wish of my heart
was not gratified, and at the present
day strangers stroll through the
grounds or lounge on the piazzas of
that home once so dear to me. Yet
! memories of my adopted parents still
j cling to that 1 'mestead. and rise before
me not only when I pass ltd wall, but
j as I recall in a foreign land the days
j of my youth."
Liliuokalani will j ass a lonely quar
j ter of an hour as the time approaches
: for the sale of what she holds so dear!
"The residence has had a varied
I history. It was built In the forties,"
Bald Mr. Joseph Carter, "by Abner Pa-
ki. whose daughter was Mrs. Bernice
Pauahi Bishop. The Queen was only
an adopted daughter, and I am some
what under the impression that the
Queen did not go directly from '.here to
j Washington Place upon the occasion
i of her marriage."
Said Dr. Sereno Bishop: "I can re-
member the place since my early child
j hood. I am not able to give the exact
date of the building of Aikupika. But
j it undoubtedly must have been during
j the forties. It was built by Paki, a high
chief. Most of the high chiefs were tall,
i but Paki was the tallest of all and a
; marked man. The place was maintain
I ed as a chief's residence for many
years. It-can only have been turned to
; other uses during the past fifteen years,
j at the outside. Mrs. Bernice Pauahi
Bishop left the estate to her husband,
who turned Jthe property over to the
Kamehameha estates."
A Mrs. Dudoit ran the place for a
1 while as a boarding house, and she was
followed by a Mr. Hamilton Johnson.
Both these houses were, however, on a
small scale. Just seven and a half
years ago it became known as the Ar
lington, six cottages were attached, the
aviary and the cages of animals so
familiar to us all were added.
And thus vanishes another landmark.

FROM Pomona, California, gesterday
came a laun l wreath to be placed
on the grave of John w. Ldrbeer, the
Oahu Railway A Land Company's
yardmasb-r who was murdered by
Samuel Barney a few weeks ago. It
was sent by the mother and father, the
brothers and sisters of Lorbeer to Mrs.
James Taylor, an intimate friend of
the family and the dead man. There
was also a request that the remains be
taken from the odd Fellows' vault
whi rein they have reposed since the
day of the funeral and interred in a
separate pkH in ttuuann cemetery. The
wi ith will be kept until the last sad
rit- s OVer the grave are performed.
Following is the letter accompanying
th wreath and the thanks of the fam
ily: "Will y..u kindly pla;- this wreath,
our love token, on our hoy's grave?
W. Bend the laurel wreath on account
of its deep Significance to us the name
of Lorbeer being the German form of
the word laurel and we also think it
w ill kee p green nnd fresh for sometime.

who have shown their love and res pert

brances to us and our dear son and

; Talks of Dean's Backache Kidney
Pills.
When an incident like the following
occurs, here at home it is bound to
carry weight with our readers. The
public statement of a reputable citizen
: living in this city leaves no ground
jfor the' skeptic to stand on.
Mr. James C. Stevens, of this city,
informs us: "I was troubled with an
ache in the small of my back for a long
time, and such was the condition of
things until I tried some of Doan's
Backache Kidney Pills, which I ob
tained at the Hollister Drug Co.'s
store. A short, treatment gave me the
desired relief, and I am satisfied that
they are a good remedy for backache
and deserve to be recommended."
Mr. Stevens is one of our own cit
izens. Is not such testimony stronger
than that of someone living in Amer
ica? Does your back or side ache so that
it ij hard to stand straight? Do you
have headaches, nervousness, frequent
thirst, hot, dry skin, or shortness of
sleep? Are your eyelids distended or
breath? Evil forebodings, or unsettled
I sleep? Are your eyelid3 distended or
feet and ankles swollen and nave you
lost flesh? Are the secretions from the
kidneys thick, dark colored, and do
they deposit a sediment? Kidney dis
ease is insidious and ir you leave any
of these symptoms you should treat
I them at once. Delay may mean you
I youj can't be cured.
i Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are
I sold by all chemists and store keepers
; at 50 cents per box, six boxes 2.50, or
! will be mailed on receipt of price by
the Hollister Drug Co., Honolulu,
! wholesale agents for the Hawaiian
' Islands.
