Liliuokalani Educational Society, 1890.

[Found under: “LOCAL & GENERAL NEWS”]

The First Division of the Liliuokalani Educational Society will meet at Washington Place, three [?] o’clock Monday afternoon.

[Granted, this is a single sentence, but there is not much known about the Liliuokalani Educational Society, and every little mention is important…

This newspaper is bilingual, Hawaiian and English, and is also called “The National Herald”. The images are not very clear, and the typescript as a result is riddled with “@”s, which indicate that the area is illegible. Hopefully they (and all of the other newspapers) can be re-shot so that there will be legible images—the information they hold is priceless!]

The royal mausoleum converted into a chapel, 1922.

DEDICATED AS A CHAPEL

On this past Sunday, that being the birthday of the Royal Representative Kuhio, the mausoleum that holds the bones of the alii of Hawaii nei in the cemetery of Nuuanu was made into a chapel for all the Hawaiian societies of Honolulu who wish to hold services there.

This house of the Chiefs was consecrated by the Bishop L. A. Motte [John D. LaMothe] of the Anglican Church [hoomana Pelekane] and assisted by Rev. S. L. Desha, Sr. of Hilo, as was planned earlier.

There were many people who came to see the consecration, and the ceremony was done with much reverence. This will likely make this house of the Alii a unforgettable [?] monument to all the alii of Hawaii.

[Much of the Hilo newspaper, Hoku o Hawaii, is digitized badly, and can hardly be read. This particular article is one of the better ones. I hope all of the illegible articles are not important ones!]

Keeping the streets of Honolulu clean? 1912.

TO PRESERVE THE CLEANLINESS OF THE STREETS OF HONOLULU.

Honolulu will become one of the most cleanest cities in the world should the law that the Board of Supervisors [Papa Lunakiai] passed for the second reading on the night of this Wednesday, progress and go through in the future. This is the law that will outlaw the discarding of cigarette and cigar butts on the street which was put to consideration before the board last week.

In the new law, throwing and littering of all kinds of rubbish on streets and lanes is strictly prohibited, and all persons seen doing this: throwing a bottle or empty can, fruit peel, pieces of paper and other things that will alter the beauty of the streets and lanes into rubbish piles, he or they will be brought up on charges, and if found guilty, a heavy punishment will be doled out upon him or them. It is not only prohibited on streets, but also on beaches, because rubbish and other trash is seen being just thrown on the sand. There is a law pertaining to the sidewalks as well before the board. This law will go into effect after fifteen days from its passing, and within the area specified, sidewalks will be made by the owner or owners who the sidewalks belong to, and if he or they do not make them, the government will do so and charge the expenses to the owner to whom belongs the sidewalk that was made. The area covered in this new law is from the pier until Beritania Street and between Nuuanu River and South Street; and within this area, owners will be required to build sidwalks.

Kahoohihi Alapa Dies at Iosepa, Utah, 1913.

MRS. KAHOOHIHI ALAPA HAS GONE.

Mr. Editor:—Please allow me some space for the sentence above, that being that Mrs. Kahoohihi Alapa has grown weary of this life.

On the morning of Monday, at 6 o’clock on the 3rd of March, the Angel of God visited and took the soul from the body of our beloved Mrs. Kahoohihi Alapa. Auwe aloha wale!

She left her her feeble husband and their children and family. They have four daughters from their loins, and she left this life.

She was sick along with her husband for a week, she had lower back pains, and she was also pregnant, she was distressed along with being inflicted by smallpox [hepera], which is a sickness that is quarantined, so no one would enter to help them; they would have been in terrible trouble were it not for that male cousin of Kahoohihi’s [kaikunane hanauna ?], that being Joseph N. Kaniwi, who stayed with them and so they had someone to take care of them. He was up day and night patiently.

Kahoohihi Alapa was born of the loins of Julia (f) and David Luwela (m) in the month of March, on the 23rd, 1866; at Kahana, Koolauloa, Oahu; and she was 26 years and over 11 months of age when she expired.

She left her homeland, and followed after her grandfather, Makekehau [Makakehau ?], leaving her father and mother and family at home. She was only eleven at the time.

She lived here at Iosepa for 15 years and some, and she was bound by the sacred covenant of marriage with her husband, Harvey O. Alapa, and she left this life.

She was pleasant in every way, she was welcoming to all to her home, and she was important to her friends, and she listened to her friends when they spoke and would do their bidding.

How regrettable, that rose blossom is gone; she will no longer be seen passing at the door of the family and friends of the land. How sad!

Me, with sadness, her sister-in-law,

MRS. ANA OLIWA HOOPIIAINA.

Iosepa, Tooele County, Utah.

[The issue of this Aloha Aina is misprinted as 1/11/1912, but it should be 1/11/1913! This sort of thing happens once in a while, and if you are not careful, it can lead to wild goose chases. Case in point: i don’t know how long i spent looking for the English article that this was taken from because i was looking in 1912… This article originates from the Honolulu Star-Bulletin (1/4/1913).

Because of the desire to liquidate the story book of Kaluaikoolau which are stacked up in the publishing office, one of those books will be given away for free to each person who buys the Kuokoa directly from the office of the Hawaiian Gazette Company, beginning this morning.

[Up until this time, the books were going for 10 cents each, if you picked them up at the Hawaiian Gazette Co. office, or 15 cents if you wanted them sent to the country. See ad below.]

[Found under: “This and That.”]

Here is Kimo Olo [James Auld], a native Hawaiian who is a familiar with the printing profession, who is suffering from a stroke [mai ano lolo ?].

[At least we know from this article that the newspaperman, James Auld, is still living in 1895.]

The Hawaiian Flag and James Auld and Capt. Alexander Adams…

Posted on by

It is interesting to note that newspaperman, James Auld, who was responsible for the Kuokoa 1/1/1862 color image of the Hawaiian Flag was the son of Andrew Auld, who arrived from Scotland in 1816. And that this Andrew Auld was apparently dear friends with none other than fellow Scot, Capt. Alexander Adams, who captained the Kaahumanu (formerly named Forrester) for Kamehameha I. Adams is traditionally credited for designing the the Hawaiian Flag.

[Andrew Auld and Alexander Adams lay side by side at Oahu Cemetery, their single gravestone reads: “Twa croanies frae the land of heather / Are sleepin’ here in death th’gether.”—Two close friends from the land of heather (Scotland) are sleeping here in death together.

And James’ brother, William, who we spoke of earlier as the engraver of James’ wife’s (Uwinihepa’s) tombstone, was perhaps more importantly one of the four men sent to take the Anti-Annexation Petitions to Washington D. C. Oh! and William marries one of the daughters of Capt. Alexander Adams, Mary (9/21/1859). Both James and William seem to also go by the last name Andrew/Andrews.]
