Ha,cass Notes.

The Hilo correspondent of the
DAILY PRESS wishes to correct state
ment which was published in the PRESS
of November goth, in which he states
''that the steward Of the brig Haza,d
was arrested for smuggling opium, and
fined SIS. 1t was the steward Of the
bark c. o. W,hitmoys. Your cores.
pondent usually tries to be very guarded
in what he writes, as he wishes to do
justice to all, and cheerfully makes this
correction, and begs pardon for accus-
ing the wrong steward. Captains of
vessels that come to these ports,
bring with them demijohns Of various
kinds of liquors to treat their friends,
but if poor man brings tin or two
of opium for his own use, he is arrested
and fined for not bringing it ashore, so
that he could be fined more, with no
intention to smuggle. When the at
tempt is made then the arrest is
proper; but it would seem inconsis-
tent to arrest when no attempt is
made. Captains leave their demijohns
in full view, full Of liquors. Why not
arrest them, as well as the man who
has opium for his own use. Whiskey
does millions more injury than opium.
Died, December 9TH, at Hilo, Ha-
waii, Mrs. Sarah j.. Lyman, the wife
OF Rev. David B. Lyman, deceased.
She was born November 29th, 1906 /;
embarked with her husband in 1891,
and arrived in these Islands in 1892.
Neither he nor she left to 60 anywhere
since coming here, having made the
Islands their life work, and we're great
ly beloved by all who knew them. Mrs.
Lyman seemed vigorous for one so
aged. She was at the Foreign Church,
Hilo, on her eightieth birthday, No
vember 9th, and was congratulated by
many and on her next Sabbath (her
last on earth) attended Hail Church
twice, and each time sat in the same
seat with Mother III. X. Hitchcock,
another aged Missionary who came to
these Islands with Father and Mother
Lyman. Mrs Lyman was living at her
own residence when she died. She
retired at her usual time, saying that
she was fatigued, tn Sunday night.
On Monday morning, as she did not
appear at her usual time, Miss Martha
Chamberlain, a daughter of deceased
missionary, staying and caring tenderly
for Mother Lyman, opened her door,
went to her bed, ard found that some
time during the night her gentle spirit
had gone to the God who gave it.
Asleep in Jesus: blessed sleep ! DIR.
Kittredge was called, but too late
Gods angel had called. She is with
her God she had so truly loved and
served on earth. She was familiarly
called Mother Lyman, in Hilo; all
loved to call her by that name, Tor she
was truly good mother to all. She
leaves glorious record. Such
people are always missed. 1t pays well
to live we'll, as has been shown in her
life. She was buried at Hall Church
December 9Th, The funeral was a
large one. Those who. were there
loved her, for she was truly Christian
woman. The 'pallbearers were all ma
tives. The remarks made were in
English and native, loving words.
