This appointment, bearing the sigma
ture of the king. the great RED seal and
the Hawaiian coat-of-arms, made Henry
Heyman, the San Francisco musician,
an attache of the royal house at Homo
lulu, to retain Office during his lifetime.
Naturally. it was feared that the radical
would affect his position, but the royal
soloist declares that he will retain his
commission, whatever circumstances
may arise.
II was appointed for iife," Mr.. Hey
man said last evening. The title holds
good as long as live, and whatever
the adversities of the royal household,
l will adhere to it. l am now the solo
violinist to Queen Lilioukalani, and
even though L be the last minstrel of
the realm, l will ever honor the family
in return for the compliment that was
paid to me-"
Mi. Heyman then stated that while
visiting III Honolulu about six years ago
he had often dined with King Kalakaua
and his sister. the recently deposed
queen, both of whom are amateur musi-
clans of more than average ability. The
king was an enthusiastic admirer of
the violin, and wasS pleased with Hey
mans playing that he created the title
of ''soloist to the royal household in
token of his appreciation OF the artists
skill.
Mr.. Heyman must, indeed. have been
a fayOrte musician to King Kalakaua,
for. aside from having the title of royal
soloist conferred upon him. he was
made knight of the Royal Order of
the Star of Oceanica. a sort of island
