The programmes of the Memorial Service at
Fort Street Church were rapidly taken up, and
shortly after the religious cen,mohy was over
were not to be obtained. We presume everyone
was either DESTROYS of keeping them or sending
them home.
Great credit is due to the ladies and gentlemen
who decorated Fort Street Church for the Garfield
Memorial Service; the decorations were most
Rrtisicay arranged and told the story of Christian
faith and hope. The whole arrangement of the
grouping carried the eye along the sad trappings
of woe till 1t finally rested upon the great symbol
Of Christianity over the organ.
In consequence of the complaints made by the
Norwegians at Hilo, Consul Gladi went up by
the Lkclike yesterday to enquire into the matter.
Mr. Parke also when up for the same purpose.

smoothing the matter over.

ger over to San Francisco on the last trip of the

An old resident of Honolulu, Mr.. ]. R. Price,
was found dead in his room yesterday morning.
At 10 a N. Port mortem examination held
at the station-house by Drs. Nc hibbin and
Hutchinson They found that deseaseds death
was produced by heart decease, and other cause
The heart being in such a condition as to fully
account for the death. Deceased was native
of New Haven, Connecticut, and was for many
years resident of Honolulu.
The community was very much shocked to hear
of the death of Mrs. Daniel Smith. Our account
of the inquest, condensed from the official report
will be found elsewhere. Mrs. Smith has lived
many years amongst us and both she and her
husband were most highly respected by every one
in the country. 1t is very evident that the death of
the husband had had the effect of unsettling her
intellect. We are sure that this lady will be
mourned by a large circel of friends
Is there any inspection of the harness of e1-
press wagons If there is not, there ought to be.
The other day as an express wagon was driving
along Fort street the rotten old harness broke,
frightened the horse and the whole affair went
charging up the street until it collided with
private carriage, got the wheels locked and could
90 no further. Fortunately no was injured
beyond pair of shins badly barked; but some of
these DAYS we shall have a very serious accident
and loss of life, and then will look after our
expresses.
large number of places Of business have been
draped in black, since the news Of the Presidents
death arrived, and many of the private residences

specially to be noticed the American Consulate,
the Bank. Messrs. Dillingham; Co., the Odd Fell
lows building on Fort street, the Empire House.
We have no space however to give a detailed list
of all the places which have been SO decorated.
The city has very decidedly shown its great
sympathy, and marks of mourning meet the eye
IN every direction.
runaway Cinnamon was, we hear, annexed by
an enterprising plantation luna, the other day
John had left his work and had put for Hilo,
where he was having quite good time spending
the advance he had vaised from the outer Barbar-
ian. 1t happened that one of the lunas had oc-
casion to come to Honolulu. He went TO Hilo and
while waiting for the steamer fell In with his
friend John-to use n vulgar phrase he froze onto
him and persuaded him to take the trip TO Homo
lulu; he will shortly return 10 Hawaii, but you
don't pick up your lost Cinnamon like that every
day.
The Chinese Sunday School continues to flourish,

scholars. thirty-one teachers and two superin-
PENDANTS. This institution, whatever our opinions
NAV be upon the importation of Chinese, Is

been surprised to how many of our young
ladies and girls have become interested In the
work and are giving up their time 10 1t. We hope
