LILIUOkALANrs CONFIDENCE.
She Fixed on Tuesday as the Date OF
Her Restoration.

Honolulu newspaper correspondents have
invariably noted the perfect faith which the
queen entertains of her ultimate restora-
tion To such an extent did this certainty
go. that she several times fixed the exact
date. A prominent merchant of San Fran
cisco yesterday received letter from his
Honolulu representative, in which this GER
tainty of the queen is again clearly shown
The correspondent states that the queen
has given orders for full train gowns for
the ladies of her court and a magnificent
purple robe for herself.
These gowns are to be used at the restor-
alton. which. the letter states, has been
fixed for Tuesday.
New uniforms" the letter goes on to
say, have been made for the queens
guards, and everything Is ready for an i'm
posing display when the provisional govern
ment has to step down and out The mill
tary companies continue to drill and the
city Is on a war footing. On the men-of-
war. liberty has been stopped, and the indi-
cations are that something win drop in a
few days. Admiral Irwin Is ready to act
at a moments notice and, Judging from
what we have seen of him. there will be no
monkeying when he makes a move II the
United States has determined to restore the
queen, the provisional government will be
powerless to prevent it, Everybody is in
a state OF suspense, and all we can do Is
to await developments"

Played on Superstition.

A neatly dressed young colored man an
swerlng the name of Thomas c. Costley,
but who was spoken of as DIR. Costley,
was prisoner in the Police Court today.
He has been rooming at 1929 r street and
1t Is charged that he has been working
voudoo tricks on colored persons in that
neighborhood
William Braxton of Fry's court appeared
against him today and accused him of the
theft of $3.50.
Williams wife Is sick and one day dur
ing his absence "Dr. Costlev'' called and
said he could cure her The couture
powder and charm in the case were pro-
duced. as were bottles of what purported to
be medicine.
Mrs. Braxton could not appear today on
account of her sickness and the defendant
denied that she had paid him any money.
He told Judge Miller that he had studied
medicine for short time in the college at
Ann Harbor. Mich. and Judge Miller told
him that he knew just enough about medi-
cine to make him dangerous. The idea OF
your going to college a short while and re-
turning to prey upon the superstitions OF
certain members of your race said the
judge, is outrageous.
The case went over to secure further proof
and bond was fixed at $500.

Church This Morning.
Funeral services over the remains of Mrs.
Catherine Mccarthy, widow Of the late
Charles F. Mccarthy, were held this morn
ing at st. Matthews Catholic Church. cor
ner 18th and ii streets. AZ in evidence Of
the high regard and esteem In which this
lady was held, the church was we'll filled
with people, who came to pay the last mark
OF respect to her memory. The congrega-
ton included many of the older Inhabitants
OF Washington. friends and associates Of
the deceased in the fifty years during which
she has lived within a stones throw of the
church where her funeral was held this
morning. large number of those who
came to the church also accompanied the

last rites over the remains at the grave.

dies at the end and lighted candles on the
altar.
Father Kervick then celebrated mass,
while the choir sang Walters mass for the
dead. At the conclusion Of this impressive
ceremony Father Kervick advanced to the
chancel rail and delivered a sermon. 1t is
consolation, he said. when brought face to
face with death to find that sometimes
death is not so terrible after ALL or course,
to those who live only for this world and its
pleasures death Is awful, but for the Chris.
tian. such a one whose mortal remains were
then before him. 1t Is another thing. To the
Christian death Is but the portal Of eternal
life, that dark portal through which all
must pass to enter the beatific state be-
You'd.
After all, life is but a sojourning place
place through which We pass on our way
from the God from whom we came to the
God to whom We 60. Religion alone can
rob death of Its terrors, and to one who has
lived good life and followed the teachings
of holy church 1t has no terrors.
Father Kervick then pronounced a eulogy
upon the character of the deceased. and ex-
horted his hearers to follow the example
set by this aged lady, who, although
seventy years old, would arise before day
break in the morning to attend mass and
perform her duties to the church.
At the conclusion of the services the re-
mains were carried to Mt. Olivet GEM
etery for interment.
