THE HONOLULU TIMES

Washington, September 9.This season will go down in med-ical history as "the black summerof 1910," according to a statis-tician who has been studying thesummers infantile death record. InNew York City alone, in one weekthis summer, 875 infants died inspite of the efforts in their be-

half which were made by chari-table and other organizations.

The conditions in New Yorkand elsewhere are to be consider-ed at a Conference on Preventionof Infantile Mortality which is tobe held in Baltimore in Novem-ber. Such subjects as milk dis-pensaries, classes for mothers andthe activities of visiting nurses,will also be discussed. There willalso be a report on the work ofthe League of Little Mothers, anorganization of little foster moth-ers of Gotham which physiciansand philanthropists say bids fairultimately to revolutionize condi-tions in the poor districts of themetropolis. The tiny members ofthis league have been instructedby physicians and trained nursesregarding the best ways to feed,bathe and care for little charges.The children have been warnedregarding the germs that lurk incheap ice cream and the dangerof feeding watermelons or otherfruits to the baby.

WE UNDERSTAND.

The Government will give theIndustrial School for Girls all theland needed for agricultural andstock purposes, for wood and forfarm purposes, but what will beneeded to add to all this generoushelp will be an appropriation fromthe next Legislature for the build-ings cottages a number, a neatadministrative building, cook-house, laundry and perhaps asmall chapel.

We feel quite sure the gentle-men of the Legislature will seethe expediency and excellence ofall this plan for the poor girls, andwho would like, and who wouldthrive on, this semi-out-of-do- or

life. It is a pity to keep themcooped up, so to speak, little andbig, at Palama very much longer.

We all know how the Hawaiianrevels in being free to wander bywood and stream to be out inthe sunshine and the air (or evenrain). These girls need the same

and long for it. They are willingto work and to learn, willing todig, spade, hoe and plant, willingeven to chop their own firewood,to make their own butter, to milkcows, look after bees and pigeonsand to feed fowls.

But all this sort of work cannotbe done without a large farm tolive on and farm products towatch and look after. All thiswould keep them healthy andhappy. In the numerous plain,neat cottages they would come,with time, to learn the true homelife and how to make a few dol-lars go a long way, by thrift andindustry. They would learn howto make a home sweet and com-fortable in these little cottages,so that in the future they couldmake for themselves.

We do hope these many girlswill have the true picnic farm,life, with woods and water, treesand flowers, and will be takenaway and off from Palama to amore out-reachi- life and man-ner of living. We earnestly be-

lieve that, with the right environ-ment, this large colony of Ha-waiian girls could manage a largeranch and come to have a goodrevenue from the same, outside ofthe needs of their own table. Itcould be made as successful, f-

inancially, as any farm of its sizein the Territory. The girls wouldbe happy, industrious and ambi-tious for the success of theirfarm. Without an aim, youth,as well as adult, becomes listlessand despondent. This we allknow.

LET US SMILE.

The thing that goes the furthesttoward making life worth while,

That costs the least and does themost is just a pleasant smile.

The smile that bubbles from theheart that loves its fellow-me-n

Will drive away the clouds ofgloom and coax the sun again.

It's full of worth and goodness,too, with manly kindness blent,

It's worth a million dollars, andit doesn't cost a cent.

There is no room for sadnesswhen we see a cheery smile;

It always has the same good look ;

it's never out of style ;

It nerves us on to try again, whenfailure makes us blue;

The dimples of encouragementare good for me and you.

It pays the highest interest forit is merely lent

It's worth a million dollars, andit doesn't cost a cent.

A smile comes very easy youcan wrinkle up with cheer

A hundred times before you cansqueeze out a salty tear;

It ripples out, moreover, in theheart-strin- gs that will tug

And always leaves an echo that isvery like a hug

So, smile away ! Folks understandwhat by a smile is meant

It's worth a million dollars, and itdoesn't cost a cent.

"Kuhio and Prosperity go hand-in-hand- ,"

announced a speaker atthe Republican Territorial Con-

vention, a statement that mightvery well be taken as the cam-

paign slogan. Prosperity to Ha-

waii comes most certainly in whatKuhio stands for protection tothe main industry, encouragementto the smaller industries, stabilityin the protective system, encour-agement to homesteaders andpermanent settlers, protection tocitizen laborers and continuanceof immigration along proven andbeneficial lines. In these thingsrest the prosperity of Hawaii andfor these things Prince Cupidstands.

Hawaii is in the formative pe-

riod, just coming into her own.Towards these Islands, if thepresent condition of affairs polit-ically continues, a steady streamof gold is coming, millions forworks connected with the na-

tional defense, millions for theproducts of our soil, and millionsfor the development of the re-

sources of the Territory throughthe investments of outsiders sat-isfied with the outlook. Underthe circumstances it would befolly for this country to break thechain of prosperity by discontin-uing the services of Kuhio atWashington. He has not beenthe sole factor in securing all thatwe have had and all that has beenpromised, but he has been a verylarge part in it.

The Delegate returned fromWashington this year with arecord that was not surpassed byany man in either branch of Con-

gress. He got everything he wasasked to get, he got some thingsthat those here did not dare to askfor, he got everything he wentafter and in every respect he rep-resented the people of Hawaii.

The Republicans could, in jus-tice to the party, name no one to

take his place; the Territory, injustice to itself, cannot afford toelect anyone to replace him' atWashington.

A PRISON FUND.

It has come home to us withgreat force the past week, thereal, vital and most urgent needfor what we will term a "prisonfund;" so that when the culpritshall have served his terrm inprison, for any crime committed,and is again at liberty, the shack-les fallen off and he free to begina new life and an honest one, hemay find someone to give him alittle help, a helping hand to en-

courage him to keep forevermorein a straight path.

It is very hard, it is a fearfulthing we can but fancy, this com-ing out, after years, it often is, ofthe life of captivity; it is almostas terrible, indeed, as the goinginl

The man stands free, on theroad, we will say ; he is told in theearly morning he can go, andsoon he hears the prison doorsshut and clang behind him. It isa common occurrence at theprison for a man's time to be"up," and likely no one watches,and few care, where he goes whenonce out of sight. He wanders,it may be, aimlessly into the townwhere, when it is known that heis a released convict, no one caresto house or entertain him.

He has no money, only a fewpoor clothes, no home, no shelter,no work, no chance to live or tobegin life anew, however much hemay desire, or however firmly hemay have resolved, to live an hon-est life, once again his own mas-ter.

It seems to him, as he goesfrom one place to another andfinds no cheering word, no help,that every man's hand is againsthim. But this is not so ; it is onlythat what is everyone's concernis no one's concern. The crowdon the street, what do they knowof him, the prisoner released thatmorning, or the day before, or theday or the week before that? Inthe stores, on the wharf, what canthey know of that poor humandrifting by, downcast and down-hearted, desolate and forlorn?

Now, let us imagine one of thegood people that has talked to

him all the Sundays, of all theyears of his prison life, that hassung with him', prayed and readto him, exhorting him and all hisprison companions to turn alltheir thought toward the All-lovi- ng

Father for guiding, protectionand help in all their future stayon earth; that He can never for-sake them, or fail to come to theirassistance, if they are loyal andtrue. Now, here is this man, alsotesting all that teaching, and hethinks over and over, "Oh, if Icould but meet one of those mentoday or one of those women,and he or she would tell me whatto do, would give or lend me a lit-

tle money (and prisoners havebeen known to return borrowedmoney), that I might go here orthere and get a start, cither in astrange place or among good oldfriends. Oh, if I only could!"

We are telling conditions asthey really often eixst here, at ourown Oahu prison, and we arepleading for a prison fund, thatone be started, and any disposedto give to this work, much or lit-tle adding to the same at anytime. This fund could be kept inthe bank, any one of the banks,on interest, perhaps, and one ofthe regular visitors at the prison(say Miss Yarrow) could takecharge of the same, and couldlend or give, as she faced theneed. Many a man would besaved in this way from a down-ward course, as we all must be-

lieve."Am I my brother's keeper?"

Yes, not only in prison, but whenhe has paid, so far as he can, theprice of his misdoing.

It will not take much, my dearreader, to start this "fund," andshall we not have one?

It is true that prisoners areoften helped, we must hope andbelieve, helped in various wayswhen a case is known ; but wc allknow there is no way quite sogood a way as a thoroughly sys-tematic way, and always morebrought to pass in that way! Ifthere could be "a way" found toshadow, so to speak, every manwhen he first leaves the prisonpremises, and while good resolu-tions and aims are in his mind.

FIVE SEATTLE BOYS.

"A few days ago," said the postmaster, "three badly frightenedand exceedingly nervous boyswere ushered into ray office. Theyhad informed the clerk in theouter office that the matter inhand was for my personal ear.

"We done it, and we'll takewhat's coming to us," said thesmallest of the trio.

"Done what?" I asked."Him and him and me and

Beany and Scotty were playing"follow the leader," and Beanyjumped over a mail box, and thenI jumped, and the box tipped overand hit a rock and broke the lockoff, and the letters all flew out onthe ground,' said the spokesman.

"Where is the box?" I asked."It's the box on the corner of

Thirteenth and Union," answeredthe boy," and Beany and Scottyis guardin' it with clubs. Weknew we done something awful,and we was goin' to run away.Then we decided to put ournames and addresses in the box,and let you find us if you could.Then we decided to come and tell,and we're here."

"I'm not strong on the sermon-ette,- "said the postmaster, "but I

will assure you that I did my bestto show those boys that they haddone a very brave and manlything, and that such a principle,if followed through life, could notlead them far astray. I assuredthe boys that their honorable con-duct in not only confessing, butin leaving some of their numberto guard the government's prop-erty entitled them to absolute for-giveness.

"Three very happy youngstersleft the office to convey the tid-ings to the guard at the mail-bo- x.

As they left, one boy said, 'I knewthey wouldn't hang us.'

"I sent a man for the brokenbox. When it came in, we openedit, and there was the letter theboys had written before they haddecided to face the music:

lieve in it because it is made upof my fellow men and myself.I can't go back on either of usand be true to my creed. If itisn't the best country in the worldit is partly because I am not thekind of a man that I should be.

I believe in my home. It isn'ta rich home. It wouldn't satisfysome folks, but it contains jewelswhich cannot be purchased in themarkets of the world. When Ienter its secret chambers andshut out the world with its care,I am a lord. Its motto is ser-vice, its reward is love. There isno other place in all the worldwhich fills its place, and heavencan be only a larger home, with aFather who is all wise and pa-

I possess. The past is of valueonly as it can make the life of to-

day fuller and freer. There is noassurance of tomorrow. I want tomake good today. Rev. CharlesStelzle.

HOW TIDES COME TO BE.

The tide visits us practicallytwice a day, rising to a height thatcan be measured by so many feet.In many places it comes onlyonce, and is measured by inches.The tide-produci- agents are

sun, and moon, and the law bywhich they act is the law of grav-itation. This law declares thatthere is a force of attraction be-

tween two bodies, or, to put itdifferently, tha't every particle ofmatter in the universe attractsevery other particle, the attrac-tion depending on their mutualdistances and their mass. Tak-ing the moon's attraction first, itis assumed that the whole of theearth is covered by the ocean. Themoon attracts the waters, andthat layer of water immediatelyunder the moon gets heaped upon the side nearest the moon.High tide will be there.

The waters on the distant sideare heaped up also, and this is alittle detail that puzzles most peo-ple, because here one would nat-urally expect low water. The rea-son of the seeming paradox is thatthe waters on the distant side arethousands of miles further awayfrom the moon than is the earth'scenter. The earth thus gets moreof the moon's pull than the dis-

tant waters. These waters heapthemselves up away from theearth and moon, and high tide willbe there also. The observed tideis the effect of both lunar andsolar pull. Of the two, the sun'spull is the weaker, because of itsgreater distance from the earth.At new moon the height of thetides is increased. Sun and moonthen pull in the same direction.At full moon there is also an in-

creased height. Sun and moonthen reinforce each other, thoughthey are on opposite sides of theearth. London T. P.'s Weekly.

A REAL BOY.

There's a joy that is a jqyIn a boy that is a boyJust a romping, reckless tykeThat the whole round world must

like;Freckled, awkward, lank and

slim,Hat that's minus bank and brim,With a trailing dog, or pup,That betimes will trip him up.

In the morning out and goneAt: the bugles of the dawn,Finding wondrous games to playIn each nook along the way,Wading brooks and climbing

trees,Pestering the honey beesTill they sting him in despairBut what does a real boy care?

In at noon to bolt his lunch,Then to run to join the "bunch" ;Shouts and yells and battle-ca- ll

Over strife with bat and ball,Or a make-believ- e affrayWith the pirates in his play.Blisters, stone-bruis- e on his heels,Scratches that his bath reveals.

Crooning in a sing-son-g twang,Horrifying by his slang,Giving everyone the shakesBy his clumsiness with snakes,Naming with a careless shrugEvery beetle, bird and bug,Ruminant upon the grassWatching all the clouds that pass.

Coming home at fall of night,Grimed and marred from play

and fight,Braggadocio, weary Yes,With a wondrous weariness,Dreaming on with smiles and

sighsAfter sleep has closed his eyesThere's a joy that is a joyIn a boy that is a boy.

THE EDITOR'S BRIEFNOTES FOR OCTOBER.

October is here and in fineshape, cooler and not so aggres-sive (aggravating) (not so muchof a burr), not sticky, like as wasSeptember. We have the prom-ise now and the look in the skyof real fall weather. The rain-bows presage the coming on ofthe rainy season that we all en-

joy.October 4.

Secretary Wood says we shallhave our sidewalks thronged withtourists and not enough hotelsor lodgings for them all. Verywell, then, tents can (camps) beput up in our squares and on ourhill-slope- s; for everyone is nowin favor of out-do- or berths. Arewe not right?

In fact, we would like never togo inside, but cook, eat and sleepin the open. In the Adirondacksthis mode of living has been en-

joyed for many, many years. Andthey go afishing for their break-fast and then broil and boil (cof-fee), bake hoe-cak- e, give thanks(many), and eat with their in-

vited welcome guest, Good Ap-petite.

It is a tasty meal of Dame Na-ture's best. "And tell us about thelunch."

Oh, that's another story. Waita bit (bite). There are nuts tocrack in October and pippins andpumpkins and all the merry har-vest to lug in, to cover. But thisis Hawaii, that knows no heat orcold!(The green hills all about the

town,About thy feet, the sea.)Sister Beatrice of the Priory is

making some of the most exqui-site lace we have ever examinedin Honolulu, fine as a fairy's fa-

bric. Go to see her Pandora'sbox of handiwork.October 10.

To hear the exclamations of de-

light from tourists as they rideup into Manoa Valley is verypleasant and sometimes ludicrous.As the car turns from one pointto another they often seemamazed.

On returning, they take trans-fers for the Aquarium to have alook at the marvelous fishes andthink the morning's trip is a greatdeal for the few dimes expended!

We agree with them on everypoint and urge them to keep onwith the sight-seein- g.

The weather is now ideal, andwhen a steamer arrives from theColonies, as today, the passengersmany of them betake themselvesto the cars and ask the conductorsto give them transfers andthrough King street runs oftenthe first ride, or Punahou and upManoa. In fact, King street seemsto please them not a little, andthey are constantly pointing attrees and gardens and never growimpatient if the car waits for afew minutes. It is all one to them

they are out for pleasure.'Many of them look to be well-to-d- o

people, and often very gen-tle in their manner in addressingthe conductors or any other oneon the car. They are often of thesort, collected and courteous,and it is pleasant to see them inour midst.

We like to see the throng atthe postoffice on steamer days,and to hear the good-nature- d re-

marks and comments. Our post-offi- ce

seems to them a very smallaffair, as they jostle against eachother with their multitude of let-ters and cards, but with, as a rule,the utmost good nature and for-bearance, pleasant travelers thatthey are.

It is so nice, you know, to beon land again, if only for a fewhours a deep sense of thankful-ness !

Some of them seem like chil-dren out for a holiday.

We all look to Mr. Kruger,Fort street, to keep the right timefor our time-keeper- s.

It is a wonder that the Mc-Inern- y's

stock of footwear andall sorts of haberdashery neverseems for a day to give out or tobe sold out windows always be-

ing refilled and replenished withthe most attractive importations,and then we step in at May's andcan get any quantity of just whatwe are wanting; one would thinkthe clerk mutter one clay: "It isall gone, gone and I'm sorry, butthat perhaps he might overhearbutter or cheese; in fact, we'rerunning low on nearly all tablesupplies. Try Day's ; he may helpyou out."

But it is not so. At May's theycan feed the Army and any strayNavy we can but believe; it is a

marvel, this grocery business.Then there is Ehler's; they

never say: "No more ginghamsor lawns this week." But theywill point to pile after pile of allgrades and make and price; allthe colors, tints and hues, andshade after shade, one must besuited. It really seems that someone is piling in bales of goods atthe back door, while the womenwith bundles are going out thefront doors. And then look onthe opposite side of the street, al-

ways busy measuring off ribbonsand lace, opening glove boxes andtaking in the dollars. The store-keepers seem about the happiestfolk if we except the brokers andthe bankers and the plantationpeople ; of course, they are full upin piles of material called coin,all of yellow tint gold that is.

But then, the blacksmith keepshis fire agoing, and the carpenternails and whistles, the ships loadand unload, and Honolulu is onebig workshop, upstairs and down-stairs, from morning, when theboys unlock and open, until thedoors shut at night.October 18.

There was a large gathering atSt. Clements last evening. Theschool-roo- m was transformed andfashioned into a spacious andbeautiful drawing-roo-m and pre-sented a scene of tropical beautyto one on entering. But we allknow the Usbornes are nothingif not artists, and this is fain tocrop out and come to the front,what time they would give theirfriends an evening of delightfulhospitality.

There was choice music, vocaland instrumental, the singing andplaying of Mrs. Norton Bobo andReynolds being very heartily ap-

preciated.There were splendid views of

Honolulu, twenty years ago, pre-sented by Canon Usborne, andnot a few of them caused greatmerriment and some very humor-ous comment one of "the rapidtransit" in particular on Nuuanuavenue. Every view found livelyinterest one of the old Priory inparticular, and many others werequite familiar.

We hope the Canon will showthem again, for it is something ofwhich one does not tire. Theywere most beautiful and inter-esting.

Delicious refreshments wereserved by the "little men and lit-

tle women," and with willing feetdid they run to their happy politepart, doing the role (cake) withperfect grace and gentle manner.

About ten o'clock the guests re-

luctantly bade their kind host andhostess good-nigh- t. The moonwas up for the happy home-goin- g.

were, glad, too, to. meet MissNewcomb, Mrs. Thompson, Mrs.Peacock, Mrs. English, and manyothers. It seemed like a largefamily gathering met for mutualenjoyment and not of the natureof a formal reception, as must bethe case where many are un-known and strangers.

A FARM FOR THE GIRLS.

There is no reason why thegirls that are mothered by thegovernment should not have afarm at the very least a garden

home as well as the boys sowell fixed and doing so well atWaialee. Although the Boys' In-

dustrial School has outgrown itsaccommodations in the way ofbuildings, the change from townto farm life has been a great suc-cess both for the boys and thegovernment. A like change forthe girls ought to bring equallygood results, and the governmenthas a wide range of choice of sitewithout having to buy land.

As well known, the Girls' In-

dustrial School occupies thebuildings of the former reforma-tory school for boys, but one-ha- lf

of the grounds was taken someyears ago as the site for one ofthe big public schools now adorn-ing the city. That portion hadbeen under cultivation in bananasand vegetables from an early pe-

riod of the boys' reformatory, andhad it been left for the girls' in-

dustrial school might in somemeasure have served the purposenow advocated. Yet the situationis not one that can be associatedwith the idea of country life, andthe soil being a shallow layer ofearth upon a coral outcrop is noteasy of cultivation. The place is,moreover, too public and too closeto the Asiatic quarter for its pur-pose, while the restricted ;con-fin- es

of the premises are moresuggestive of a common jail thanan institution designed to affordfriendless, neglected and way-ward young girls the opportunityof becoming adapted to respect-able and useful domesticity.

Next legislature is anticipatedas one that will retrieve the recordof last session, which was prob-ably the worst ever made in theHawaiian Islands, in the matterof providing for education.

THE SUNRISE COURT.

A number of the larger citiesand some of the smaller towns,both of the United States andCanada, have adopted a new sys-tem of dealing with arresteddrunks that is said to work outvery satisfactorily and which, itwould seem, might well be givena tryout in Honolulu.

The new plan is in effect a"sunrise court," at which men ar-

rested the previous night fordrunkenness are tried and, wherethe circumstances warrant it,turned loose.

As a general thing, the punish-ment for drunkenness, except inaggravated cases or cases of ha-

bitual drunkards, is a small fine.Usually in the Honolulu policecourt a fine of three dollars andcosts, amounting in all to fourdollars, is imposed. In perhapsthe majority of cases the man ar-

rested is able to pay the fine andis, therefore, liberated. Some-times he is freed without beingfined.

But by the time he has had hishearing before the police magis-trate, it is late in the morning andhe has probably lost a day's work.The "sunrise court" would ob-

viate this, and also relieve the ar-

rested man of the notoriety of ap-

pearing in police court during thebusiness hours of the day. Hewould appear before the judgeand obtain his release in time togo to work for the full day.

In Honolulu particularly themen who are most liable to be ar-

rested for drunkenness are menwhose families need all of theirwages and the loss of a day'swork is often a serious matter.Not infrequently, too, a man whohas, through having to appear inpolice court, lost his day's work,

MsssMsiEl 3"mifeiMj'36KSi?H

having nothing else to occupy hismind, goes out to fill up again.

It might be a little inconvenientfor the judge and some of thecourt officers to get around for a"sunrise court," but that is hard-ly a weighty reason against theadoption of the system that isworking out so well in other citiesand which should work to evenbetter advantage in Honolulu.The plan is at least worth trying.

w O v"We have as chief of forestry

in Hawaii Ralph S. Hosmer, whois partly paid by the Federal gov-ernment and partly by the Terri-tory. He and our Territorialveterinarian and entomologist aredoing goo dwork. The bulk of ourindigenous trees are slow grow-ers, so we are experimentingwidely with trees of quickergrowth from all over the world.We are trying them on all alti-tudes, from sea level to 10,000feet. We hope to replant thewhole of our forest area, the up-per portions especially. A largearea already has been condemnedfor this purpose and we have shutout cattle and goats from it.These have been largely respon-sible for the destruction of theforests by eating the under-growth. Many old native treesare of parasitic growth, and un-dergrowth is necessary for theirnourishment and preservation.

"Hawaii is now very prosper-ous, as sugar is bringing a goodprice. One or two cotton planta-tions have been started and areprosperous. There is much landnot fit for sugar growing which isgood for cotton or pineapples."

It will be news to many tohear that Hawaii is doing a bigbusiness in Formosa with machin-ery and putting up sugar factoriescomplete, but Mr. Hedemannsays that his company has alreadyinstalled five such factories, andwhen in Japan recently he closeda contract for a sixth.

"At Honolulu," he said, "wehave factories and machine shops,coppersmith and blacksmith shopsand employ 600 mechanics, allCaucasians. The business hasbeen established for fifty years,but since annexation people inthe Islands have spent over $100,-000,0- 00

in developing the industryof cane sugar, which in all the fac-tories except one is made intowhat is called raw sugar to be

creasing demand for the newestdesigned machinery, particularlythat which will save labor. Wehave built in the last ten yearsnine factories in the HawaiianIslands, the smallest with a ca-

It is often stated that there areno cases of dire poverty in Ha-

ceipts of the society for the pastmonth have been $1051 and theexpenditures $862.55. Regardingthe work she says:

HER WORK.

The tiny daughter of a certainhousehold said one morning atbreakfast, "After I get my workdone I am going to play dolls."One wondered what "work" sucha tiny miss had to do. But shehad an appointed task and wasexpected to see that it was doneeach morning. The task was tomerely see that the sofa pillowswere straightened out and intheir places, but she went aboutit with an air of work, and shesaw that the accomplishment ofher task added greatly to the tidi-ness of the room, so she perform-ed it with great pride. What anexcellent plan it is to give chil-dren some particular task forwhich they are regularly respon-sible. It makes them feel thatthey are part of the household andbear responsibility for its tidy ap-

pearance. Such children do notrequire mother and servants towait on them continually and theygrow up to be self-relia- self-helpf- ul

people who never think ofbeing a burden to others.

and other friends and rela-tives. I

Her natal dayf found MotherRice enjoying good health al-

though somewhat feeble, ofcourse, as is quite natural for oneof her advanced years, but stilltaking a lively interest in the wel-fare of Kauai and the activitiesof the multitude of her relativesand acquaintances here.

She was at home to her friendsfrom nine to eleven in the fore-noon and from one to threeo'clock after lunch. Among thevisitors was a delegation of herLihue Hawaiian friends, all ofwhom look upon her with a greatdeal of love and reverence, whocalled soon after breakfast andgreeted her with many "Alohas,"and sang a number of well-know- n

hymns for her, to which she lis- -

tencd with the greatest interest.On account of her age and nat-

urally feeble condition, she wasnot able to greet the large num-ber of other friends and admirerswho would have liked to havecome, and many of them sentflowers to express their regard,great masses of which were out-spread on the large diningroomtable, sharing their beauty andfragrance with all who came.

All the members of her imme-diate family, and also severalothers of her close friends, calledin the afternoon to pay their re-

spects, and bring their gifts offlowers and other remembrances,and for several hours she waskept busy greeting them and re-
