The body Of the late Mrs. Dickson,
which was brought embalmed from San
Francisco by the steamer Australia, was
on Sunday afternoon committed to its
last resting place in Nuuanu Cemetery.
There was large concourse of people at
the house OF mourning. Rev. J. A.
Beckwith, j. b., and Rev. G.. NJ Hyde,
d. D., conducted the services, each of
them delivering an affecting address.
Dr. Beckwith referred to the fact that,
when he returned to these shores, the
first hand to bridge over the interval of
thirty-five years in welcoming him was
that of the lamented lady, his beloved
pupil of long ago in Oahu College. Beau
tiful and appropriate anthems and hymns
were sung by the choir of Central Union
Church. Floral offerings were on a scale
of magnifcence, the interior walls of the
residence being covered with them, some
rising to height of several feet from the
floor. The smaller tributes were simply
innumerable and comprised many chaste
and lovely emblems of sanity life and
of IMMORTAL hope. Princess Liliuoka-
lani, accompanied by Hon. j o. Dominis,
attended at the house. 1t was impos-
sible, almost, to think of anybody of
distinction in any walk of life in the
community, and not find that such per-
son, lady or gentleman, was among the
lssemblage to pay the last tribute of
esteem to the truly eminent departed
1ne. People of every nationality were
here, including many natives of both
sexes. The pall-bearers were Hon. w.
] D. Alexander, Mr.. p. G. Jones, Mr. G..
VI. Cooke, Hon. Henry Waterhouse,
Hon. ]. B. Atherton and Hon. S. Nj.
Damon. A platoon of police acted as
bearers of the casket. A very long pro-
;ession of carriages fell in behind those

THE DAILY
MONDAY, DECEMBER II, 1885.

We publish in this mornings ADvER-
TIsER letter from Rev. Mr.. Barnes on
the religious aspects of the school ques-
ton. It was received several weeks ago,
and failed of publication at that time in
consequence of being mislaid. We take
this opportunity to express our regret at
the accident, and apologize to the author
for the unintentional delay. As we have
devoted considerable space to school
matters lately, and given our own views
pretty fully, we do not care to discuss
the subject further at present. We will
only take occasion to remark that with a
comparatively homogeneous population
like that of England, the question of
grating religious instruction upon the
school system presents considerably less
practical difficulties than where there
exists such heterogeneous conglomera-
ton of materials as we have to deal with
in these Islands.

An Incipient Blaze.

Shortly after noon Saturday fire was
iiscovered in a store room at the rear of
tayselden Hall. AS the alarm was
iven for the Opera House, much excite
rent was caused. Mr.. Nakayama and
is servants put the fire out with his
arden hose. It was in heap of floor
lnvas, illuminating and decorating ma
srials, etc, in one corner. A hole was
urned through the floor. The origin of
Re fire is supposed to have been spon-
neous combustion.

a TramwaY Dimcultx.

In Saturdays issue it was mentioned
that there was a hitch between the Gov
eminent and the Hawaiian Tramways
Company, relative to T rails being laid
on Waikiki bridge contrary to the terms
OF the franchise. The matter was
brought summarily to head on Satur-
day evening. when Road Supervisor
Hebbard with gang OF men tore up the
Objectionable rails. It is said petition
is out for circulation, against having any
rails laid over the bridge, owing to its
narrow width. People will, of course,
not need to be told that Little reflection
is desirable before giving their names to
any movement in such an important
matter.
