The beginnings of Kamehameha Schools, 1884.
Kamehameha School.
By way of the kind and generous endowment given by the Hon. Mrs. Bernice Pauahi Bishop, she did not forget to make contributions for Schools. Amongst the heirs shown in one of our papers published earlier, she gave a sum of money to build a new schoolhouse for children with no parents or who are indigent, and the name of the school is to be Kamehameha. By this great kindness extended to help in the education of orphan and indigent children, several familiar friends of this town were recently selected as trustees and administrators pertaining to the establishing of said school, that being Charles R. Bishop, S. M. Damon, C. M. Hyde, C. M. Cooke, and W. O. Smith; and with them lies the power to build. Two schools houses are being considered to be built: one for the boarders, and one for the day school students. They are now searching for a suitable place to build the buildings. In those schools, knowledge will be taught to the children in all facets of the English language, as well as learning that will be helpful for advancement in their adult life. Here is your new place of learning, O Hawaiians who are without parents, who are indigent, and so forth. Education in this land is progressing, and therefore, “Let the life of the land live on in righteousness.”

Kalihi fire, 1889.
The glowing fire on the Kalihi mountains Thursday night Feb. 21, was caused by workmen burning off the grass on the site of the new reservoir in the upper Nuuanu Valley. The fire could easily have been controlled in the first instance. As it was, it was allowed to run up a narrow ridge, and thence to spread along the flanks of the mountain until it became an extensive conflagration, destroying many vigorous young koa trees and persistently working itself down into the valley. On Friday morning, two teachers and about twenty of the largest boys in the Kamehameha School went up to the fire and after a vigorous battling with the dense smoke succeeded in hemming in the fire, and finally subdued it. The utmost care in such a dry season should be used in preventing the setting, much more the spreading, of fire in the grass and bushes above Honolulu. A few such fires would make it unnecessary to build extra reservoirs.

Tandy Kaohu MacKenzie back home, 1932.
TANDY MACKENZIE RETURNS TO HAWAII NEI WITH HIS WIFE
With the landing of the steamship Montery in town, Tandy Mackenzie, the famous singer, came home accompanied by his wife to spend a month on vacation before returning back to America and perhaps going all the way to Italy.
The successful singing performances given by Tandy Mackinzie at theaters in California boosted his singing popularity.
While here in town, they will be staying at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, and before the couple goes back to America, his friends here want him to put on a concert so that people here have a chance to hear his beautiful singing voice.

The birthday of Pauahi, 1901.
Yesterday was the birthday of The Chiefess Mrs. Bernice Pauahi Bishop. Amongst the alii who passed on, Ke alii Pauahi is one who lives on in the minds of her lahui. She accumulated her great wealth and before her passing, she left most of it to build a School for the children of her people. Her strong desire was that her lahui be taught English and the proper knowledge for them to progress. Today there has been hundreds who have benefited from the knowledge they gained from these schools. She has gone on but left an unforgettable monument standing upon her land.
Lunalilo blessed the old people of his aina; Queen Kapiolani, the women who are increasing the race; Pauahi, educates those children. Those are the alii who left enduring monuments; and their names shall forever reverberate against the beloved walls of Hawaii nei.

Theresa Owana Wilcox Belliveau and the Estate of Pauahi and Liliuokalani, 1918.
FIGHTING OVER THE ESTATE OF PAUAHI
Honolulu, Dec. 29—Perhaps it is because the desires of Mrs. Owana Wilcox Beleveu [Belliveau] were not appeased over the estate of Queen Liliuokalani that here she is fighting over the estate of the Aliiwahine Pauahi and she is trying to find a way to break the Will, as if she is related to Chiefess Pauahi. What does she expect by starting all of this?
It is heard that she is looking for an attorney on her side to break the Will of Princess Pauahi, and the money to be dedicated to Educate the boys and girls of the Hawaiian Lahui. Something that will result through this action by this woman is the dishonor to the name of Hawaiians, and this improper action will be something reported in other lands. When they find out about this, Hawaiians will definitely not approve of this deceitful act.

The Blue and White revived, 1904.
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
