In Phoenix Hall, at half past seven on this Saturday night, the Na’i Aupuni Association will hold a play and dance, and the profits from this endeavor will go to the association.
Also shown on that night will be marching with ihe [spears] by the members of the association under the direction of a woman. The drill commands will all be in the old language—the language spoken during the monarchy, by their war leaders.
A prize of ten dollars will be awarded to the one who knows the correct name of the spear, along with the explanation of the true circumstances under which the spear was made. Tickets are available at the door on that night, or directly from the members of the ticket selling committee.

Seen in this picture is Brother John Nash, who is regular to Honolulu’s people; he is a haole who walks around without shoes and is a haole preacher who uses street corners as places to preach in front of the people. And Mrs. Mary Keliiaukaiokaahumanu Robins who convinced this haole to wear shoes on his feet as well as clothes like other men.
As for the story of this haole preacher, he took this calling when he was serving in the military; because he was considered crazy, he was confined to an asylum, but was released soon after.
He married his wife and they had three children: one of them is currently in the service, and the other two are getting their schooling.
When he arrived in Honolulu, there were many who pushed him to wear clothing and shoes, but he did not agree in the least, and so too went the pleas of the Americans; it was only to Mrs. Mary K. Robins that he acquiesced and he now wears clothes.
According to Mrs. Robins, she met Brother John Nash in Kawaiahao Church, and she urged him to go with her to her home in the lighthouse of the harbor there. It was there that this haole told his story, and Mrs. Robins likewise told hers; and after much arguing with this preacher, he was baffled [kahaha?], and while they were talking, he agreed to discard his old ways and to don clothing like other people.
Mrs. Robins is the founder of the Association called Na’i Aupuni, an association for Hawaiians, and that haole assists her in that endeavor.

Being that in time that news reported of earlier will come, about the raising of the American Flag above Hawaii, from the authority of the Republic of America; and in regard to this, word is being sent out to my beloved nation of Patriots.
DECLARATION TO THE LAHUI.
To all Patriots, we pray [ke Ka o ia aku nei? ke Kalo ia aku nei?] that you will not visit nor approach the area where the American Flag will be raised; let everyone remain at their own Home, kneel and look to the almighty one to ask for his help for the Hawaiian Nation, Land, and Kingdom.
All heads and leaders of the men’s and women’s Ahahui Aloha Aina [Hawaiian Patriotic League] and Hui Kalaiaina [Hawaiian Political Association], are directed to heed this as well.
JAMES K. KAULIA.
President.

The Association, The Daughters of Hawaii which just met in Honolulu decided to build a Monument to Kamehameha III, the kindhearted Alii, where he was born in Keauhou, and Miss Ana Paris will be sent there to to survey the site and to report to the Association.
The idea of this Association is to inscribe some words upon a rock that is located where the chief was born, after one side of the rock was shaved nicely away, and knowing that the rock was solid and would not wear away in the future. And if this is not possible, then they will put up a marble monument at this place with proper words telling of the birth of the alii and some other fitting things about him.
