Harris has passed from US. aud has teen called to
another bar.
He was kind and eoueiliateTy towards all; but the
charm that more especially recommended him TO the
regard Of his associates, was his frankness, simplicity
and warmth Of !eeling-and the very free expression
Of all his associates, Frank is a good boy - viii
ever live in the remembrance OF those most intimate
with our deceased brother. With these remarks, /
propose the following resolutions

Frank Heryey Harris, in the prime Of manhood, q
member Of this Bar. though not at the time OF MS
decease IN professional life, yet fully engaged IN hon
orable and responsible occupation; and whereas. the
circumstances q his death are peculiarly distressing;

in q few appropriate remarks, expressive of regret
and sympathy with the bereaved father and family Of
the deceased. Followed by remarks Of q similar
tenor by Messrs. O'Halloran, Hartwell, Unauna.
Montgomery and Preston. Mr.. Dole said:
Your Honor and Gentlemen Of the Bar AS one
Of the junior members Of the Bar, my associations
with our deceased brother, also a junior member,
have been from q somewhat different standpoint from
those Of the senior members. Very pleasant have
been my professional relations with Mr.. Frank Harris
during my life in Honolulu; l have found him a kind
hearted, helpful and sympathetic fellow practltioner;
/ confess the startling news OF his death came to me
with the weight Of n great shock, and has deeply i'm
pressed me. There is one circumstance of his death
which is pleasant to think Of he died IN the per-
formapce Of his duty. In no possible professional
post could such an emergency have come more truly,
than il did come in the difficult and responsible posi-
ton for which he had given up his professional work.
In no other way could we prefer to meet death.
Fully endorsing the simple and touching sentiments
of the resolutions, 1 feel that the friends OF our
brother need and have our deepest sympathy not only
as his professional associates, but his friends.
Mr.. Justice Judd then addressed the meeting with
much feeling. as follows
''Never before has death invaded our ranks at
tended with circumstances Of such peculiar distress.
Our deceased brother, Frank Il. Harris, was young,
the centre of many fond hopes and bright aspirations.
He was engaged in one of the most arduous and re-
sponsible, and at the same time useful caliings in
this Kingdom. To achieve success in this he was
willing to withdraw himself from the avenues of pro-
fessional life, and to submit himself to the intense
anxieties and labors of this new sphere.
cit is gratifying to remember that in his labors he
was manly, honorable and perseveriug, and that
when death met him the success so long hope for
seemed nearly won.
cit is not for US to question the wisdom of that
Providence that has thus suddenly cut him off but
it is for us to lay the lesson to heart that each of us
may be prepared, when the summons shall come for
us to follow him.
The resolutions were then unanimously adopted.
