The Oahu Jail is a substantial coral stone structure 

 located at Leleo, a short walk northerly from the Post 

 Office and in full view from the harbor. Here are kept 

 most of the criminals sentenced for offences committed 

 in any part of the group. The number varies from 

 eighty to one hundred. Most of them are sentenced to 

 hard labor and are employed on the roads, or other gov- 

 ernment service. This state prison is one of the best 

 kept institutions to be found in any country, and is well 

 worth a visit from those interested in prison discipline. 

 It is under the immediate supervision of Marshal W. 0. 

 Parke and J ailor D. K. Fyfe, whose management has 

 tended greatly to its efficiency. 



The Queen's Hospital at the foot of Punch Bowl Hill, 

 was erected in 1860, chiefly by the efforts of King 

 Kamehameha IV, and named after Queen Emma. It is 

 a well kept institution under the supervision of Dr. 

 Pob't. McKibbin, Physician, and Mr. T. Toel, manager. 

 It has usually about one hundred patients, including 

 Hawaiians and foreigners. 



The Parliament House, called Aliiolani Hale, erect- 

 ed in 1872-8, is located on King street, nearly opposite

 officers, including the ministers, judges, governor, bu- 

 reau of public instruction, marshal and police, hall of 

 records, public library, museum, etc. It is one of the 

 finest public buildings any country can boast of, in pro- 

 portion to the population and resources, and admirably 

 serves the purpose for which it was erected. 



The Reformatory School, established for the refor- 

 mation of juvenile delinquents, is located at Kapalama,
