manager of the Baldwin and of the Royal
Hawaiian, and who died but four months be-
fore him. Recently Mr.. Tilden's brother, who
has been merchant in India for many years
and espoused the Buddhist faith, arrived at
Honolulu to visit the grave. He had not met
his brother for eighteen years before his death,
and being engrossed with business cares could

Mr.. Lyon tells, and lived with local Buddhists
in Honolulu while there. Mr.. Tilden lately ar
rived here on his way East.
