Below Aala Park, at the fair of the Court Lunalilo and Court Camoes [Foresters] being held for four day from next Wednesday, June 9th until the night of Saturday, June 12, will be seen that Hawaiian boy, Sam Kahoe, doing his amazing feats, that shock the minds of all that see him.
This Hawaiian can eat fire, can walk bare upon shards of glass without cutting his feet. He can perform feats of power that make you dizzy, and in a few words, he is a professor in the mysterious arts, equal to the famous haole who have come to Hawaii nei.
It is something very new to see a Hawaiian boy carrying out these activities, and it is a proud thing to see him drawing the fancy of hundreds of people who appear before him and witness his awesome feats.
[One year later, and it seems Sam Kahoe is off on his own doing the shows. I wonder what happened to Pilipo Kahoe and William Hema.]

On the evening of Dec. 28th, a few of our citizens met and engaged in an informal interchange of ideas in regard to the importance of forming an Historical Society. Prof. Alexander was chosen temporary chairman, and the Rev. Dr. Hyde secretary. It was then decided that the proper time had come for the organization of such a society, and a committee composed of Prof. Alexander, Rev. Dr. Hyde and Mr. J. S. Emerson was chosen to draft a constitution. An adjourned meeting was held last Monday evening at the Honolulu Library, at which this committee made its report. A large number of our most prominent citizens attended, and much interest was shown in the formal organization of the new society. After the adoption of the constitution the following officers were unanimously elected: President, Hon. C. R. Bishop; Vice-President, Mr. J. S. Emerson; Corresponding Secretary, Hon. W. D. Alexander; Recording Secretary, Rev. Dr. C. M. Hyde: Treasurer, Mr. T. G. Thrum. The constitution states that the object of the society is “the collection, study, and utilization of all materials illustrating the Ethnology, Achæology and History of the Hawaiian Islands.” Active members are to pay an initiation fee of five dollars and an annual fee of one dollar. It is hoped that arrangements will be made by which the society will secure as its permanent quarters, for the accommodation of its prospective library and a place of meeting, the large front room of the Honolulu Library. Immediate efforts are to be made for the formation of a library which shall include all books relating in any way to this Kingdom, and all books, pamphlets and newspapers ever printed on the Hawaiian Islands.

The reverend McArthur who was a devoted friend and follower of Chief Justice Judd, abuses Queen Liliuokalani because the so-called Hale Naua Society, existed during the reign of her brother. We are told that the Hale Naua Society was a heathen institution and that it was decidedly opposed to good morals and good government. We do not know how Mr. McArthur has gained his information as he was never initiated into its ranks. We desire to say that the Hale Naua Society was similar to the foreign secret societies of which King Kalakaua was a leading member. The Hale Naua had its rites and indulged in the usual mummery of the lodges which are tolerated and even celebrated here. The man who says that the society in question practiced immoral rules or undesirable rites is a liar. The aid-de-camp to the President of Hawaii, Major C. P. Iaukea, was a prominent member of the society. The “missionary” interpreter at the Supreme Court, Mr. Luther Wilcox, was the only “white” member of the society. Mr. John Ena, a prominent virtuous Councillor of State, knows all about the society in question. Chief Justice Judd would have been only too willing to become a member of the lodge, but would of course have been blackballed; and under such circumstances Hawaii is against being abused by the “Echo” of Mr. Judd, the very Reverend Mr. McArthur. Don’t the paid hirelings of our missionaries do more harm than even the filibusters and the Sheridans and Underwoods?
