THE REMARKABLE ENTERTAINMENT

—ABOUT—

MAIKA

THE BOY THAT WAS

Half Indian and

Half Hawaiian.

THE FIRST MAN TO SHOOT THE BEAR GOD GREATLY FEARED BY THE INDIANS—AS WELL AS THE TERROR OF THE WHITE SKINS–AND THE MASSACRE OF THE THEATRICAL GROUP OF LEE.

When the first brown skins were first contracted on Whaling ships, a man named Akamai boarded and their ship left for the Arctic [Atika] where that kind of huge fish lives to this day, that being the Whale [Kohola].

When their ship was let go in fair winds, and in the middle of the night, while everyone was enjoying their sleep, there was one of them awake then, that being the man who was bent over the oar of that ark of theirs.

While he was crouched over the oar of their ark, that little ship of theirs came upon a storm, and all the gear was blown away by the wind and the masts were snapped and the oars were broken; and because of this storm they ran into, they couldn’t do a thing; all they could do was to sit calmly looking out for land or a ship to save their lives.

While they waited for their end, and when the rays of the sun burst forth, their souls were gladdened to see that they had landed on land; they jumped off to land, and wandered about here and there, and as they wandered around…

[And so begins the amazing story of the hapa Ilikini, hapa Hawaii, named Maika. It runs in the newspaper Leo o ka Lahui (a daily, Mondays to Fridays) from 11/21/1892, and the last installment is found on 6/12/1893.]

Kamehameha Schools.

The Kamehameha Schools held their exhibition on this past Friday, starting with the Boys’ Primary School. On that day the exhibition of that school was held, and on this past Monday for the Girls’ School.

On Monday afternoon, the boys’ senior class held a tree planting to memorialize the days of living in hardship at this home of learning, and present were those invited to watch the activities. The tree that they planted was a kamani, and the area where it was planted was upland of their chapel.

Later that night, speeches and songs were performed by the Girls’ School in their chapel. These were speeches by the students graduating this year. There were eight girls: Edith Leilani Dunn, Annie Claire Davidson, Hattie Hiilani Jones, Victoria Kekaihaakuloulani Mahikoa, Iwakilaukapu Augusta Scholtz, Hannah Keakalani Sheldon, Hakamaikalani Wongkong [Hakamaikalani Wong Kong] and Henrietta Weloulani Scholtz.

THE BLUE AND WHITE

The New Kamehameha School Paper of Students.

“Blue and White” is the title of a very neat four page paper published by the students of the Kamehameha Schools. The initial number was issued yesterday. The staff is composed of the following:

Abel Ah You, editor-in-chief; George Wells, assistant editor; Charles Lyman, athletics; David Desha, exchange editor; Charles Williams, superintendent of printing; associate editors, Enoch Hussey, Henry Sniffen, David Mahukona.

The leading editorial is devoted to a synopsis of an address made before the Kamehameha Alumni meeting held on June 8, 1904, as follows:

And now a serious word about Kamehameha. Kamehameha with all it means is the Hawaiian heritage. If ever an institution belonged to a people, this belongs to you. It is yours to guard, to use, to cherish. And to my mind, Kamehameha is the last hope of the Hawaiian people. But it is enough. Continue reading →

A BRAND NEW NEWSPAPER.

We have heard that Joel K. Kamakea will in the near future print a new weekly newspaper named “Ka Momi o ka Pakipika.” Its columns will be dedicated to stories about the famous Knights of the olden days, detective stories, Hawaiian cloud reading, scientific and educational material, knowledgeable things dealing with the Bible, and many other educational things. This will probably be a paper of four pages. We were told that it will be sold by the copy.

[I am not sure if there are extant copies of this paper available.]

A NEW NEWSPAPER

Mr. J. K. Kaunamano will print a new newspaper in the near future, in the mother tongue, from the side of the Hawaiian Political Association [Hui Kalaiaina]. The printing equipment of the Catholic Mission, will be what is employed by this new spokesman, and we simply assume that his editor will be someone skilled at this work, and so too of his workers. We hope that the Hawaiian people will progress through this endeavor.

[The first issue of Hawaii Holomua was published on 9/18/1893. It was a daily (except for Sundays). The last issue was printed on 1/5/1895. It was not printed in Hawaiian, but in English. This paper can be found on Chronicling America!]

[This was the newspaper, Ka Nupepa Puka La Aloha Aina, which began printing on 9/30/1893.]

THE NEW NEWSPAPER OF KAMEHAMEHA SCHOOL, THE “BLUE AND WHITE.”

The children of Kamehameha School started a new newspaper. It is a monthly paper. The children do all of the editing.

Adolph Hottendorf, George Nahinu, and Thomas Nahiwa. The Executive Committee [Komite Hooko] is David Kamauoha, George Kauhi, and Niumalu Komomua. The Exchange Committee [Komite Hoohana] is Lani Lemon, Daniel Pahu, and Andrew Keanu.

This is a beautiful paper in all aspects being established. The children fill its columns without assistance of any adults. The progress of the children is admirable. Onward!

[Found under: “Nuhou Kuloko”]

This past Friday, a new spokesman for the people appeared by the name of “Ka Leo o ka Lahui,” under the editorship of Mr. Bernard Kelekolio.

[There were two papers with the same name that ran in the late 1800s (a daily that was printed on Mondays through Fridays from 8/19/1889 to 2/21/1896 [?] and another daily printed on Mondays through Fridays from 4/3/1896 to 5/18/1896 [?]). This “Ka Leo o ka Lahui” being announced in 1912 is not seen today.

Maybe there are copies in a closet or under a house somewhere!]
