of G. q. Null of Carlyle Kansas, on
the 18th inst at Kansas City Mo.
Mrs. Null was BON at Harrodsburg
KY, May 81 1871. With her parents,
Mr., and Mrs. Adams, she came to Ind.
in 1850, and to Kansas i'm 1869, where
she lived until her death. At the age
of about IA she became converted and
made public confession of her faith in
the Lord Jesus Christ and united with
the Presbyterian church of Bethany,
Ind. where she then lived. And ever
since then she has led most exem-
plary Christian life. She was of an
unusually happy temperament, cheer
full under all circumst ances. She was

and their lives have flowed ON i'm I'M
broken cheerfulness ever since. For
two or three years past Mrs. Mull's
health has been impaired by q COM

mined finally to take her to Kansas |
City for consultation and surgical |
treatment if it was thought best. She |
endured the surgical operation which |
it seemed nee essary for her to under
go, with great courage, but the shock |
to her already enfeebled system was
too great, and she expired about eigh-
teen hours afterward.
Her remains were brought home and |
religious services were held in the |
church of Carlyle, of
which she was member, cor Quoted
by the Pastor of the church, a nd at
tended by an unusually large con-
course of friends and neighbors,

are as my friend said, sordid and un-
interesting. At least those with
whom the average tourist comes in
contact are 80. One is besieged every
where by man women and children,
and begged to buy something or to
give something. Every two or three
miles along the carriage roads for ex-
ample, stands some able bodied loafer
with long Alpine horn on which as
you come in sight he blows a few dis
cOrdant blasts and then turns and
holds out his hat for pennies. 1 never
heard one of them play, or attempt to
play, tune and I doubt if any of
them knows one note from another.
For another example the particular
place that you want to reach in order
to get the best view of some natural
object is always fenced off and you
have to pay an admission fee. Thus 1
had to pay to get good view of the
Staubbach Falls, and 1 had to pay to
get into the Glacier. 1t is only fair to
say that the people who demand these
fees have bought the privilege of do
ing so from the Government. But
what can be said for Government
that will sell such a privilege?

At Hanapepe on the Fourth Mr. =. M
Walsh entertained the employees OF the
Hawaiian Sugar Company and other IN
vited guests to grand luau on the occa-
sion of his retirement from the manage
ment of the Makaweli Plantation, which
he has SO ably conducted since the form
alton of the company. An immense lanai
was erected under which were ranged
two tables running the entire length OF
the lanai, and loaded with Hawaiian
and other dishes. AT the head OF each
table foated an American flag in honor
of the Fourth, while white nag bore
the motto "Aloha" The steamer Mlka-f
hala and schooners Mary and Layinia
which were in the bay displayed flags
and bunting in honor OF the occasion.
Towards the close and after the several
hundreds present bad done ample justice
to the good things provided, Dir. ID. IL.
Bailey, on behalf of the employees OF the
plantation, presented Mr.. Walsh with a
gold headed cane made from various ma
tive woods. The head of the cane was
beautifully engraved-representiDg a
field of growing sugar cane and picture
of Diamond Head, and bore the follow
ing inscription: E. NJ. Walsh. Aloha
Nui. Presented by the Employees of the
Hawaiian Sugar Co., July 4th, 1891. :"
Mr.. Walsh, in thanking them for the
beautiful present, alluded to the cordial
ity of feeling which existed between the
employees and himself, and hoped the
same would be the case with his success
sor, Mr.. Morrison, whom he then intro
duced to the company, and who promis-
ed them speech after the first crop Of
sugar had been taken off. The company,
after most enjoyable time, dispersed,
all wishing Mr.. Walsh "health, happi-
ness and prosperity"
Extensive preparations are being made

THE FOURTH OF JULY.
How It Was Observed By Amer
leans In Honolulu.
Ball, Literary Exercises, Sal
ufes, Etc.

The first in the way of observing the
great day in American history was by
giving grand ball at the Gymnasium
on the eve of the Fourth.
The Gymnasium never had such an
attractive appearance. Those in charge
of the ball had very prettiIy and charac-
teristically decorated the large hall.
From every corner and from various
places along the sides of the building
above broad stripes of red, white and
blue bunting were stretched to COM
mon place in the middle of the ceiling.
Here and there were fastened branches
from palm trees. Flags of twenty-five
different nations were draped along the
sides making it truly look like national
affair. The most of the flags were from
the o. S. S., Iroquois. A novel feature
of the decoration was the American coat
of arms, beautifully drawn upon the
floor by Prof Max Loheide, instructor
at the Gymnasium.
The committee had secured the serv-
ices of the Hamilton House in furnishing
refreshments for the occasion. Mr..
johnson with his efficient steward and
cook prepared repast that was yora-
ciousiy deyonred by the hungry dancers,
and the cool liquid refreshments, though
far from being strong enough to suit
some, disappeared as if drank with a
vengeance. One part of what was served
is particularly worthy of notice, and that
was the delicious ice cream, No better
has ever been eaten in Honolulu.
About a thousand invitations, were
issued, Fully seven hundred responded
during the evening. While it was. not a
brilliant affair. yet it was a pleasant one
enjoyed by all The dancing was kept
up till late hour. n43.oF ga SIS
at sunrise Saturday morning, the
salute of forty four guns Numbered forth,
awakening late sleepers.. Another salute
was given at noon, while a third of thir,
teen guns was fred at sunset. Major II
F. Hebbard had charge of the salutes.

Literary Exercises.

BY 10 80 A. M. a larger assemblage had
gathered at the Opera House than was
there last year to listen to the literary
exercises of the day.
After an opening piece of music by the
Hawaiian Band, Prof. F. w. Hosmer
made few Introductory remarks. Rev.
Chas. NJ. Hyde pronounced the invoca-
ton, after which America y was sung
by all who could sing. Lieut. Comman-
der John G. Morong read the Declare
ton of Independence. Rally round
the Flag " was sung by Mr.. w. HI. Hogs
and chorus.
Prof. NJ. M Scott, having been intro
duced, delivered the grafton of the day.
He prefaced his Grafton with an illustra-
ton of the exaggeration and truth of
statements when applied to describing
ones state or country. sHe was frequent
ly interrupted with applause.
His address, as we'll as Minister Stew
ems, is given in full on the first page.
After Prof. Scots Grafton, His Excel
lency John L. Stevens. American Minis
ter, made brief address, spoken in a
clear, deliberate and emphatic manner
The Hawaiian Band played the Star
Spangled Banner, with variations. In
this Prof Berger made a happy selection.
At it's close, Prof. Hosmer arose and pro-
posed three cheers for the United States,
the friend of Hawaii and of her friendly
Queen, which was heartily responded to.

THE DAILY


We give up large space of our
paper to report of the holiday pro-
ceedings, which seems to have been
observed with all the zest shown in
previous years. The two addresses
reported in full-those of Prof.
Scott and of His Excellency Minis
ter Stevens be found on the
first page. They are both very in
teresting as we'll as appropriate, and
were delivered to an appreciative
audience. The variety of the enter
tainments, adapted to the tastes and
preferences of our residents, old and
young, was never larger or more at
tractive than on Saturday last. Per
haps the Oahu Railway drew off the
largest number, and furnished the.
least expensive and most pleasurable
outing that could be wished, especi-
ally for families and children, who
could spend a day rambling through
the groves of Pearl City and other
points along the route. More than
two thousand five hundred persons
were conveyed over the road, with
out an accident of any kind. The re-
ception, held in the afternoon, at the
residence of the American Minister,
was very largely attended by ladies
and gentlemen, including the mem
bers of the diplomatic and consular
corps, who were received by Mr.. and
Mrs.. Stevens and their daughters.
Altogether the anniversary of
American Independence retains the
striking feature it has always pos
sessed of being the most popular
holiday in the national calendar.
Why it should be is readily ex-
planned, on account of America
having always been Hawaii's best
friend and benefactor-a truth which
is deeply impressed on the mind of
every intelligent Hawaiian, and
which was happily voiced by Pres.
Hosmer, when he proposed three
cheers for the United States, the
friend of Hawaii and her friendly
Queen"

Over $500 tickets were sold at the
Office of the Oahu Railway and Land

Despite little rain in the forenoon,
the day was splendid one. The finest
place of enjoyment was at the Peninsula.
Every coach and many freight cars

Considering the misunderstanding the
number of spectators that greeted the
sparring exhibition at the Opera House
Saturday evening was surprisingly large.
With hardly an exception all were dis
pointed in the sparring between the
great champion and Jack Ashson, the
exhibition of four rounds lasting but
about fifteen minutes The exhibition
showed what John L. could do if he
were to be in earnest.

that the best insurance IS a flre
and burglar-proof Safe? Per
haps it has and you thought,
from what your friends have
told you of the price they paid
long ago that you could not
afford to buy one.
Good Safes at prices less
than reasonable are an lnno-
walton here and we believe we
are responsible for it. Take a
peep at those just inside the
entrance to. our store.
We mentioned, incidentally,
last week something about
Haviland ware; we're through
stock taking now and have
opened a number of casks OF
just such China as you want to
make your table a poem and
your China pantry a picture.
| Haviland ware not only inn
proves the appearance of the
table but adds, as we'll, to the
taste of the good things set
before your guests.
One great advantage in
Haviland is the fact of your
being able to buy a single
| piece at the same rate you
would a hundred and you don't
have to buy a full set at one
time. You can buy e doz.
! plates and have a nucleus of a
dinner or tea set and add to it
as you wish. Ifyou have what
is called a regular set" of
decorated China and your ser
want breaks even a single
piece your set is ruined be-
cause it is impossible to match
dishes in such sets. With
Haviland's it is different, we
make a specially of and rec
ommend a very pretty pattern
known as "2I06.' Selected
because of its delicate beauty,
and because it is the prettiest
of a hundred or more different
patterns made by Haviland.
The flowers are so natural in
appearance that they need
only fragrance to tempt one to
pick them from the dish. You
think we exaggerate but we
don't; come and see for your
self. In addition to the regu-
lation pieces for dinner or tea
we have sets for fish, berries,
salad, ice cream or roast beef.
If you already have a set that
you do not want to lay aside
we will help you to break the
monotony of the meal by sell
ing you the necessary pieces
for a single course, say a salad
set. You'll make a great inn
preston on your guests if you
accept our suggestions, ard
you will be pretty well pleased
Will Tie taste you nave shown
in the selection.
Areyouinterested in lamps?
We are and for that reason we
are careful to get the best. So
should you. If Diagones had
provided himself with one such
as we offer you he would have
found the honest man he was
looking for and would have
picked out something better
than a tub as a place of resi-
dence. The Mckinley bill or
some other Bill has made such
a reduction in the prices at the

that we can sell you the best
