herself off as the descendant of the chiefs that she as well as many others of the highest rank and station looked up to as their Hakus.
There are the Beckleys, whose mother and grandmother, Kahinu-o-ka-lani, the lawful granddaughter of Kameeiamoku, one of the famous twin uncles and foster parents of Kamehameha the Conqueror, by his wife (wahine hoao) the high chiefess Kahikoloa, granddaughter of the King of Kau. Tney had never, up to this year, ever heard of Emma Kanoa as even having the slightest pretension to aristocratic descent.
On the contrary, Mrs. Emma Kanoa De Fries' own uncle, own brother to the father through whom she claims such high descent, Kaaua, a hack driver, always called F. W. Kahapula Beckley, late Governor of Kauai, father of Representative Beckley and brother of George C. Beckley, his Alii and Haku (Chief and Lord). Kaaua died only a few years ago and his widow, Naai, a year or two ago. During their lifetimes this new Hawaiian copy of the famous English Tichborn claimant never so much as dared to whisper that she was of royal lineage.
Mrs. Harriet Townsend, if we mistake not, is her own cousin, and being a proper, modest lady of retiring manners and good, respectable birth, must be very much distressed at the unenviable notoriety her erratic cousin has given the whole family.
There are many other undoubted lawful descendants of chiefs and what constitute the Hawaiian aristocracy who never heard of this newly created chiefess, but who all recognize and admit each other's rank and birth, such as the Hoapili and Makainais of Kona, including Representative Makainai, Kaelehiwa of Kona. The Piianaias, of whom our worthy townsman, St. Chad Piianaia, is a member. The Hinaus, Mrs. Stella Keomaelani Cockett, Mrs. Peleuli Amalu, the great grandaughter of Kalaimamahu, brother of Kamehameha the First on one side and of Kameeiamoku with the Beckley on the other side, and her cousins, the Misses Wrav Taylor, and many others, who whenever they meet give to each other their due of chiefiy courtesies.
But they know not Emma DeFries as such.
A Translation.
To the Editor of the Home Rule Republican:
Aloha—Will you kindly insert the following communication in your paper, so that the people from Hawaii to Kauai may see it and take warning. It is this:
There are two young and able-bodied men who are making their living by going around with brazen faces, shamelessly soliciting subscriptions in the name of the Church of the Hoomana Naauao, with a paper purporting to authorize them as a committee to solicit subscriptions for that religious body.
The names of the men pursuing this criminal course are Rev. E. Kekipi, who was ordained a minister for Pauwela, Maui, but is now a discredited one, and has left the holy and high office which he swore before Jehovah to uphold, and is now seeking a livelihood in any way possible. Therefore, the public is hereby warned to beware of this vagabond, who is tramping the country in his own interests. The name of the oher person soliciting subscriptions in the same manner and under the same false colors is another tramp, Lono Kaiaiki by name. He has been doing this solicitng under like false pretenses for over three years, and the writer hereby warns the people not to listen to him again when he appears before you with the same old posters.
Beware of these two imposters. The writer has been informed that Lono Kaaiaiki has been extending his operations outside of the city of Honolulu, as he was getting too well known in the city.
Yours in very truth,
G. W. BIBIKANE.
Kaliu, Honolulu, Nov. 7, 1901.
The S. S. China sails at 12 o'clock noon to-morrow. Her Majesty Queen Liliuokalani leaves by her for a visit to her friends in the East.
We congratulate our august Governor, S. B. Dole, and hope that the liquid refreshments dispensed at the Moana Hotel and Waikiki Inn were quite equal to those of other bars he may have visited and that the spirit displayed by Mr. Freeland as a mixologist entitles him to a license.
We welcome back our genial countryman, Col. Sam Parker, and hope that the wiles and allurements of the mainland has not had a permanent effect on our gallant friend, and that Hawaii, as ever, is the dearest land yet to any son of hers.
We also welcome back our affable Secretarv of the Territory and ex-"Acting Governor," Henry E. Cooper. We hope the air of Washington has been beneficial to him, and that he returns to his duties with a broad comprehension of the duties required and expected of a Territorial Secretary.
WILDER STEAMSHIP COMPANY.
