Good works–“By their works, they shall be known,” according to the Good Book. Some women have gotten together under the direction of Queen Kaleleonalani, as a Sewing Association; and all of the money they make will go to helping the poor and sick. They do not have sewing machines, but they only sew each and every line by hand.

Baptized.–This past Tuesday, the young daughter of the Lord Bishop [Staley] of Honolulu was baptized at the church at Peleula. The god parents of the child are the King, Queen Emma, Captain Hanham [Kapena Hanamu], and his wife; Miss Edith Staley; and the Governess of Hawaii [Keelikolani]. Because Queen Emma was travelling, her part was assumed by the wife of the British Commissioner, Mrs. Synge. The Lord Chamberlain D. Kalakaua, Penekaraka [Prendergast], W. P. Kamakau, and W. Makalena attended in their finery. The King, through the Lord Chamberlain gave the child the name Kaholomoana. The reason she was given that name, because she was born at the exact time the Queen boarded the ship to go on her trip to Britain. There was a large crowd gathered there, and among them we saw His Excellency the Minister of the Interior [Hutchison], and Lord Chancellor E. H. Allen. The Bishop himself baptized the young child.

[Sing with gratitude,
Let us all be happy,
The sovereignty of Hawaiʻi nei,
Was lost and has returned.
Hawaiʻi’s people were nearly captives,
The chiefs were nearly servants,
Now, it has returned,
The sovereignty of the land.
Aloha to our Sovereign,
Aloha to all the chiefs,
Thrive with the blessing
A nation of everlasting glory.
Aloha to the ship’s officers,
Place a lei upon his head,
The haole that sailed speedily,
To set us free.
O glorious God,
Wondrous are your works,
Thanks is yours,
For this flag that was raised.]

The 31st of July.
This was a day much celebrated here at Hamakua this year. Makaainana headed in droves to Waipio, and they feasted there, they had speeches, and they appeared to be happy indeed to commemorate the sovereignty of the land. But when the newspapers arrived from Honolulu, they being the Kuokoa and the Au Okoa, the makaainana’s enthusiasm for this celebrated day took a step back when they saw that this day was not honored in Honolulu. The country folk here in Hamakua question each other, astonished and highly disturbed, “What came upon the royal town of ours?
Perhaps their hearts were captured by the Philistines, and they are sickly. Alas for that Capitol of ours.
ALFRED U. ALOHIKEA CHOSEN
Because of the selection by the voters of the island of Niihau, 42 votes for Alohikea, therefore he was selected and Leslie Nakashima lost.
Before the number of Niihau votes were received, Nakashima lead by 20 votes over Alohikea, but when Alohikea received the 42 votes at Niihau, and no votes for Nakashima on Niihau, therefore Alohikea had 22 more votes than Nakashima. Knowing how to sing attracts ballots. Candidates need to learn to sing. The candidates let other do their singing; not so for that youth, Alohikea.
