http://www.nupepa-hawaii.com is the easiest way to search through all previously uploaded articles.
On the right side of the page, you will see a bar with various choices running from the top to bottom, the first being SEARCH
It is probably best to search for the most simplest terms possible, for instance:
“Beckley” instead of “Fred Malulani Beckley Kahea”
“Liliuokalani” instead of “Queen Liliuokalani”
“Kekahuna” instead of “Kekahuna family”
The broader the search terms, the more likely it will be that you get other articles not related directly to what you were looking for. But on the other hand, you might find something unexpectedly related.

Mr. Solomon Hanohano; Editor of the Kuokoa Newspaper, Greetings:—Please insert this topic above in an open space in the Kuokoa.
Being that I am Keoki E. K. Awai, the leader of the Kamehameha Serenaders which travelled around Maui and Hawaii last month to increase the funds for the Ida M. Pope Bldg. Fund; I give my great appreciation and thanks to the past students and the new students as well of Kamehameha School, and intimates and friends, for their assisting our concerts and for the good care given us while we went around Maui and Hawaii.
We are greatly indebted to the homes which offered us their fine hospitality, and may God watch over us until we meet once again.
Sincerely,
GEORGE E. K. AWAI,
Honolulu, Sept. 19, 1922.

This is a picture of Maui Kaiko, one of the paper boys of the Kuokoa, along with his new hat. Maui Kaiko is 70 years old now, yet he is just as lively selling newspapers as the youngsters of town, and by selling newspapers, he has everything he needs in life.
[Notice how the word “keiki” is not only used for young boys (or children in general), but is also used how we use it today, as in: “Maui boy” or “local boy”…]

For the past year, there has been no word to his family, and they did not know whether he was dead or not. However, during the past couple of weeks, a letter arrived written by him from Britain.
Four years ago, George Healii Kahea Beckley left Hawaii for America. in 1914, he departed America aboard the steamship Missourian, full of mules to take to France for the armed forces of Britain.
He got off the ship in France, and entered the battlefield with the British Army; he was shot and returned to Britian.
After he recovered, he joined the war once again on the east side at the Balkans and Salonika; there he again faced injury: he, a friend, and his cousin Hoapili from Hawaii. The three of them were returned to Britain to the Hospital.
Thereafter, he was not heard from again, but last week, his cousin, Leander Beckley, of the group of car drivers of Fort Street, received a letter from him.
The letter was written on the 22nd of December, saying that he was in Britain, and in good health. He is awaiting his discharge, and then he’ll return home.
[I am not sure about the first reference to “four years ago” and then “1914”… Also, does anyone know who this Hoapili refers to?]

The gift of Queen Liliuokalani, given to decorate the interior of the new church of the soldiers of Leilehua, were some bronze flower vases to be always stood upon the pulpit. On the morning of this past Saturday, she told of her interest in presenting the vases, and signed her own name on the paper with the words to be inscribed upon those vases.
On that morning the Chaplain, Major Pruden came before her, the one who worked at getting a church built there, and it took over a year to build. Sometime earlier, they vases were ordered, and here they now are ready to inscribe the name of the Queen. The Queen is overjoyed at the building of a chapel at the military base at Leilehua, and she expressed her desire to go in person to Leilehua when the church is consecrated, when the vases shall be placed upon the pulpit for all times. The date of the consecration of the church is almost two months from now.
Here below are the words inscribed upon the flower vases:
The Armed Forces at Leilehua, H. T.,
By Her Highness, Queen Liliuokalani of Hawaii.
[I wonder where these are today!]

The silver medal of King Kalakaua [Royal Order of Kalakaua] presented to Samuel Kamakaia, one of the members of the Bana Hawaii [Royal Hawaiian Band] is now in the possession of Malulani Beckley Kahea, who is also a band member; it is his to care for until the time comes for it to go to another member of the band, although according to Kamakaia’s wishes, it should be returned to the Bishop Museum.
Rightfully, this medal will be given to James K. Pohina, to oldest member of the Bana Hawaii active today. In 1883, this medal was awarded to Kamakaia, a gift from the King for his work as the leader of the band. In 1869, Kamakaia joined the band, and two years ago he left.

At the return of the head manager of the clothiers, Sachs, which stands at the corner of Fort and King Streets; [he said,] “Luau and paper lei have become popular with New Yorkers, and Hawaiian foods and lei are seen at parties given by many people on the banks of the Hudson River.
Supposedly at three places that haole went to visit, he saw people holding luau parties, and the only thing missing at those places was poi, salmon, tomatoes, onions and some other foods seen at luau in Hawaii nei.
One day when he went to go see one of his friends in New York, shown before him was an ilima lei and a lauhala hat upon which was a ribbon which read “Aloha,” and he said that they were a gift from Jim McCandless, as a memento.
