Clarence E. Edwords comes to Hawaii, 1896.
A Literary Visitor.
Dr. Clarence E. Edwords, managing editor and owner of the Journal of Kansas City, Missouri, is representing a syndicate of United States newspapers, including the New York Herals, Boston Globe, Philadelphia Times, and St. Louis Globe Democrat. He has taken numerous trips for these papers, his most extended one being four years in Yucatan. This doctor is a writer of some note being the author of several books, his best being “The Camp-fires of a Naturalist,” giving the history of his trips and his studies of Natural History. He was sent by the United States Ethnological Bureau among the Indians and as a result he is is considered the best authority on Indian mysticism and religion in the United States. He intends making an exhaustive study of our native legends with special reference to the old mysticism and religions and contemplates a book on the results of his investigations which will be in the pleasing form of a novel rather than a bureau report. In addition to his more heavy literary work, Dr. Edwords has also published a volume of poems, entitled “Fallen Leaves.” He is also an amateur photographer and illustrates his letters and books with his own pictures. The doctor will remain on the islands several weeks, making the Hawaiian hotel his headquarters.

From the Salem Gazette.
“Please Exchange.”—On Friday, we received a file of the “Sandwich Island Gazette and Journal of Commerce,” with a request, on the outside of the package, to “Please Exchange.” On inspection of the parcel, we find the file is complete, from the establishment of the paper, the 30th of July last, during a period of four months. It is of small size, and printed weekly, at six dollars a year. The papers affords many paragraphs which are not without interest, as showing the state of society and affairs at the Islands. For the present, we content ourselves with quoting a royal letter:—
From the Sandwich Island Gazette.
Letter from the King.—We give a translation of a letter from His Majesty Kauikeauoli [Kauikeaouli], in reply to our application to him for permission to work our press, and publish a newspaper in this place.—The translation is literal, but its import is plain.
“To Stephen D. Mackintosh.
Honolulu, Oahu.
I assent to the letter which you sent me. It affords me pleasure to see the works of other lands and things that are new. If I was there, I should very much desire to see. I have said to Kinau, make printing presses. My thought is ended. Love to you and Reynolds.
By King Kauikeauoli.”
[This was a pretty exciting find. Kamehameha III proclaimed that his kingdom would be a kingdom of reading and writing. And indeed it was. Kamehameha III encourages the printing of newspapers, and here he writes, “If I was there…” because it seems he was in Kailua, Hawaii at the time, while the newspaper was to be printed in Honolulu. Unfortunately, The Sandwich Island Gazette and Journal of Commerce which ran from 7/30/1836 to 7/27/1839 is not available online at Chronicling America as of yet.

Isaac Testa dies, 1909.
ISAAC TESTA, WELL-KNOWN HAWAIIAN, DEAD
Isaac Testa, a well-known young Hawaiian, whose home is on Kalihi road, died on Christmas Day of dropsy, at his home. The deceased was a printer, recently of the Star, who until a few months ago was with the Hawaiian Gazette Company. He was particularly well liked by his employers…
The Late Isaac Testa.
…and by his fellow workers, among whom he set an example of industry and thrift. While with the Gazette he instituted a savings association among the men, as a result of which thousands of dollars were saved and invested.
Mr. Testa was a quiet man, but one who had a large circle of devoted friends. His death is a loss to the Hawaiians, among whom he was a leader in the right direction.
[It seems that this is the son of the sister of Hoke (Francisco Jose Testa).]

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
