Death and Fuaera1 of George H. T.,,.tt

Another case has been added TO the list of al
most sudden deaths which have startled the com.
munity during the past year. the victim in this

but four days, suffering from dysentery, and the
attending physicians Drs. Aiming and Trouseau,
had not regarded the illness as al all liable 10 end

morning OF the. 10th inst, deceased had walked
from the Hotel to a cottage in the grounds and
although somewhat irrational at times in his talk,
gave no other indication of the nearness of the
tell destroyer. About noon of that date change
was noticed and the deceased fell into a comatose
condition, ending in death. On the news of his
death being made public the flags on the engine
houses and on the Hotel were half-masted in res
pect to his memory and the members of Mystic
Lodge X. Of p, of which deceased was an officer,
took charge of the body, details of brother mem
bers performing the sad duties of the death watch
during the night. On Sunday at p. m. the fune-
raj ceremonies took place at the Hotel grounds,
attended by the members of the Knights of Pythias
Honolulu Rifles and Fire Department and large
concOurse of those who had known and respected
the deceased during life. Rev. j. A. Cruzan, read
the funeral services, after which the coffin tan

procession, headed by the Hawaiian Military
Band, deceased being a non-commissioned officer

George H. Fassett, was Lorn in Monroe Co.. n.

mouths over 50 years of age at his death. During
hls lie he has been closely connected with hotel
business and shortly after arriving in this city in
April, 1873, was offered and accepted the position
OF manager of the Hawaiian Hotel. His manage
ment had worked very favorably for the business
interests of the propTietors, the patrons of the
establishment having quite an aloha, for the
genial George" Deceased was a Royal Arch
Mason, but had never affiliated with members Of
the order here; he was also Knight of Pythias, a
member Of the Honolulu Rifles, and foreman of

detachment Of the Household Troops, escorted
his body to its final resting place.

Mrs. HampsOn.

Certainly one of the most remarkable women
who has ever visited this kingdom is she whose
name heads this article. Atypical English woman
with marked English accent and methods OF
th0ught, yet she has conquered all race and ma
iional prejudices and her ministrations have been
as acceptable to the most pronounced American as
to those of her own nationality.
Whatever may be the permanent results of her
work, in Honolulu, there is no questioning her
success in reaching the ear and moving the hearts
of our people. Our "English-speakingn popula-
ton is roughly estimated at 5000, but in this esti-
mate is included the Portuguese, Germans, French
etc. Deducting these, and the young children and
the very aged and the infrm, and 5000 would
probably be large estimate of the number OF
people in our city, from which her audiences could
be drawn. On last Sunday her audiences certainly
numbered 1000 at each service perhaps 200 diff
ferent persons listened to her on that day. In nc
other special religious effort has any such proper
ton of the English speaking" population of our
city been reached. Of course, part of the success
these meetings. Mrs. Hampson has been most
thoroughly advertised the papers have been util-
lied, and full reports have been Published daily
the ssdead-walls' have been covered with posters,
and dodgers have pursued the people. But all
this will not account for the crowds that have
thronged to hear this gifted woman. Curiosity
may lead person to 90 once, but 1t VIII not b1ng
him second or third time. For that there must be
real ability, and power, and tbG- Mrs. Hampson
possesses in unmarked degree. Her power so far as
the human elements of it are concerned lie in her
intense earnestness her evident desire to move her
hearers to a better life, her wonderful command
of language, and her dramatic power. That her
mission" here in Honolulu will prove great
moral benefit we do not doubt.
Mrs. Hampson holds her last public meeting to-
night. While all are cordially invited, the meet
ing Will be especially for young men.
