HONORS TO THE DEAD.
Monument COmmiftee-A Statue
to Be Raised in Honor of the
Late KinS-ExceIIent Plans
A POPULAR Movement.

Late Kine-Exce1Ient Plans
"A Popular Movement.
There will be meeting this
evening of committee comprised
of some of the best representatives
and most capable young men of the
Islands to formulate plans for rails
ing fund to erect monument in
honor of our late Sovereign, Kala-
kaua. Some of the features of
these plans have already been
tacitly arranged.
There are no doubts as to
the Government doing something
towards erecting a statue to COM
memorate the memory of Hawaii's
greatest Benefactor and Sovereign,
and there are many private indi-
viduals who would gladly con-
tribute largely towards the same
purpose. But the way that with
out a doubt would meet with the
hearty approval of the mass of the
people is that proposed by the COM
mittee which meets this evening.
1t Is, as far as it is at present ar
ranged, the purpose of the commit
tee to open q subscription, making
the limit subscribed at fifty cents.
This will put it in the reach of all
to contribute, placing it beyond
reach of favoritism shown to any
and putting no one under any OBJ
legation to contribute largely, be
they Government officials or pri-
vate citizens. No one will be
allowed to make more than one
contribution for himself, but can
contribute another fifty cents for his
wife, child or friend. For each con-
tribution printed certificate will
be issued to each donor, which will
be a pretty souvenir to keep.
Authority to solicit these con-
tributions VIII be given to Govern
mcnt employees and other promi-
menu lllCl VI siUlllUJ On All CIiO
islands, all of whom will vie with
one another in their endeavors to
push the matter TO completion,
which, undertaken by those who
were mentioned to an ADVERTISER
representative yesterday, insures
success.
This Is a laudable move and one
that directly appeals to the SYM
pathy of all, foreign born or Ha-
waiian, in their fond remembrance
of noble, generous, and kind
Monarch, and in their sorrow at
the Nations loss. If every man,
young and old contributes this
small mite, sufficient will be easily
obtained to raise a monument
worthy the memory of one who
has done much for all.

FASHIONS FOIBLES.

Among the latest novelties for
ladies in the matter of dress orna-
ments is the serpentine trimming on
dresses. This we believe gets its
origin in the dresses worn by
Madam Bernhart in Cleopatra and
extends even to the embroidery on
ladies' stockings.
For use as champagne glasses a
straight and very thin glass only
should be used. The very latest of
these have star cut in the bottom
of the glass and from which the wine
will sparkle as long as there is drop
remaining.
An effort is being made among
some of the wealthy New Workers to
dispense with the damask table cloth
and use in its stead handsomely
embroidered plush scarf. White
damask doylies are used under the
plates to prevent the plush from
spelling.
An attempt will be made shortly
by some of the gourmets of the Brit
ish Club of this city to import frogs
from the coast; if the scheme works
it is probable that consignment
will arrive by every steamer. AS an
entree nothing better can be placed
before the epicure. The correct
mode of preparing this delicate bit
is to drop them in the beaten yolks
of eggs ana then in cracker dust,
back into the eggs, once again in the
cracker dust transfer them to the
frying pan and cook until brown.
Serve hot and garnish with parsley.
Much depends on the cook In giving
dinner whether it be plain every
day affair or one at which royalty IS
to be among the guests, but the
difficulty in procuring good ser wants
here has been reduced to minimum
by the introduction of fischers fam
Gus wrought steel range the same as
are sold here by the Hawaiian hard
ware company opposite spreckles
block. All one has to do in using
one of them is to prepare the food
and set it in the oven. 1t cooks 1T
self and does not require watching.

LONDON, March 2S.-The latest develop
ments in what may be called social realism
In London took place the other night in a
stately mansion in the aristocratic region of
Mayfair. The Earl of Caledon, a repre-
sentative peer for ireland, who is well
known in the far West of America as a
bold and successful Rocky Mountain trav-
eler, gave handsome dinner party at his
house in Hill street, Berkeley Square, to
which, among other guests, were invited the
Marquis and Marchioness of Conyngham,
Mr. and Mrs John Leslie, the latter lady a
sister of Lady Randolph Churchill. and u
or 15 more persons OF fashion.
After dinner and little music, the guests
were invited into large ballroom attached
to the house. where took place for their de-
light and edifcatlon an athletic entertain
ment of the art which has given the Pelican
Club its just and widespread renown.
Cards, written out by Lord Caledon himself,
were handed to them, bearing the address
and date and setting forth that they were
about to witness six competitions, with the
names of the competitors in couples. In
the middle OF the room ring had been
formed, with chairs at two corners.
Upon given signal by music the two first
competitors, Mr.. Knowles and Mr.. Bolton,
distinguished members of the fancy, came in
stripped to the buff, heavily gloved and
wearing India rubber shoes, to prevent their
slipping upon the polished floor. They pro-
ceeded to compete with much vigor and
sgility. The claret was freely tapped, and
after two rounds sponge was thrown up,
proclaimIng Mr.. Bolton the victor. Much
applause with fans and the clapping OF
gloves greeted the bold champion. The
second competition, between Mr.. Barton
and Mr.. Onslow. was disposed o. in a some
what longer period, but to the equal satisiac-
tion of the spectators.
The crowning event, however. was compe-
tition No. 3, between Mr.. Donovan and Mr..
Bill Cheese, one OF the most distinctly ris-
ing pugilists Of the day. This affair was
long and hotly contested, Mr.. Donovan
showing great pluck under severe and con-
tinuous punishment He finally, however,
succumbed and Mr.. Cheese carried off the
honors Of the evening and was presented
with bouquets and u glass of champagne.
1t is supposed that an inaccurate version
of this interesting social event may have
given rise to the rumor, current last week
In some of the Paris clubs, that it was the
intention of MIR. Ashmead Bartlett and
Baroness BurdetI- CoutIs to initiate series
of Sunday afternoon dog fights in Picca-
dilly.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 28.-The family
of Herman Hirth, modest Geary street
barber, mas been plunged headlong into a
foaming sea of excitement-not the ordinary
kind of seafoam that Herman uses, either.
The cause leading up to this state of affairs
is the fact that the wife of the
humble barber, Elizabeth, has just
been informed by letter from New York
lawyer that she is heir to a large slice of a
mammoth fortune piled up in the treasury
vaults Of Holland, and furthermore that she
is direct descendant OF the royal family of
Holland, and through this bears a relation
ship to the members of the reigring families
of Great Britain and Germany.
Mrs. Hirth to-day to 8 reporter said: my
grandfather on my mothers side was
named John Huther, and / will show you
marriage certificate which has a great
bearing on the case" The document in
question was brought forth, and bears the
date, Philadelphia, August 4. 1871. 1t GER.
titled that John Huther and Magdalena
Hirth were Joined in wedlock by Jacob
Helmuth, Protestant minister. Then Mrs
Hirth brought fortL several miniature por-
traits of bewigged and powdered relatives
who thrived in the last century.
In ADDITION 10 tine letter from the lawyer
mentioned" said Mrs. Hirth, 81 received
one from nv niece in New York, descend
ant of Anneke Jams, whose estate near Trim
ity Church has been fought tor so long by
Anneke's heirs.
Through my niece's LAWYERS it was dis
covered. by accident, that the descendants
Of John Huther. in this country, were en-
titled to many millions of money now in
chancery In Holland, left to John Huther
by his brother, who went to Australia near
ly q century ago and made great fortune.
"As soon as possible after the letter was
received 1 sent the necessary documents to
prove my pedigree. The lawyers wrote that
John Huther and brother belonged to a
noble Dutch family. were close relatives o.
the royal family of Holland, and through
the royal Dutch family the descendants of
the Huthers are related TO the reigning
Queen Of England and Emperor of
Germany"
Mrs. Hirth was raised in Cincinnati and
married her husband, who was in a
Pennsylvania regiment, in the Ohio
metropolis shortly after the war.

itwould cease to be merely q triple and be-

II would cease to be merely triple and be-
come quadruple alliance. Such state OF
sffsirs would mean undoubtedly general
European war, the consequences OF which
would be tar reaching beyond the probable
sight OF any statesmen living, and would
change the geography of the Continent and
the history OF the world in a manner which
no practical statesman would probably care
to even hazard guess at.
These alarmist rumors serve to bring
prominently forward one fact which no
thinking man can afford to put on one side,
viz: That the peace of Europe seems to hang
on a very slender thread indeed, but the
sword of Damocles, which we know never
fell, was suspended only by a hair. This
ought to help those who dread what they
call the approaching conhagration.
There is one other point which must be
considered in this connection, viz: That
the Eastern question has to be settled. If
Russia thinks the time is ripe for that settle
ment, and it is her intention to forego such
statement in pacific manner by means of
diplomacy, war may come. But it is at
least Questionable whether any one nation
will be allowed by the rest of her netghbors
to disturb the balance of power in Europe.
