Mr.. Patty was conscious to the last.
peared this morning it was noticed
that there was change for the worse
in the dying mans condition. During
all the morning, while his life was
slowly ebbing away the members of
the family were gathered about the
bed. A few moments before death
came Mr.. Patty called each one of his
family to his side and kissed them an
everlasting farewell. He then closed
his eyes for the last time as quietly
as if he had slept.
DR.. George Herbert, who has been
in regular attendance of Mr.. Patty
since he was taken down, was present
in the bed chamber when death came.
Mr.. Patty has not been well man
for many years. He was troubled with
bronchitis. About ten months ago he
took to bed and remained there except
for brief period a few weeks ago.
From the time that he was first taken
down, Mr.. Patty has been gradually
failing and has been disabled from
business altogether. For some time
past it has been known that the de-
parture of his life from this earth was
but question of very short time.
The immediate cause of his death
was congestion of the lungs. During
the latter part of his illness, he has
had very little to say, keeping a sill
ence for hours at time.
Mr.. Patty leaves a wife and five
daughters: Mrs. j. j. Egan, Mrs. Van
Valkenberg, of Maui, Mrs. E. A. Mott
Smith, Miss Kate Patty and Miss Lii
liam Patty. A sister, Mrs. Isaac Yates,
resides in Schenectady, N. Y. Mrs.
Van Valkenberg left her home for Ho-
nolulu when it became known that
there was no chance of her fathers
recovery.
The funeral will take place tomor-
row afternoon at O'clock from the
family residence in Nuuanu Valley.
The remains will be inferred in Nuu-
anu cemetery with Masonic honors.
Mr.. Patty was member of the Ha-
waiian Masonic Lodge during his life.
He has always taken a lively interest
in matters pertaining to his lodge ard
has been honored with responsible Of
fees in the order.
John II. Patty was born in Honolulu
in the year 1910, the son of Captain
John Patty, who for many years was
prominently identified with the mari
| time affairs of the Pacific. Capt. Patty
first came to Honolulu in 1885, and
from that time until his death, 1868,
he sailed between Honolulu and San
Francisco, making no less than 1S5
trips across the Pacific as master of
vessels, in many of which he was
either wholly or partly owner. Al
though for many years in this active
service, he did not accumulate a for
tune, and his son was obliged to pad
die his own canoe"
The deceased took an occasional trip
with his father as passenger, visit
in both China and California. One
of these trips, taken to San Francisco
before he was nine years of age, en-
titled him to membership in the So
ciety of California Pioneers.
Mr.. Patty was educated partly in San
Francisco and partly in the Royal
School of Honolulu. The greater part
of his life has been passed on the
age, young Patty first entered CONNER
cial life, and for three years thereafter
was engaged in the merchandise, real
estate and general auctioneering bust
ness. In August, 1859, Mr.. Patty emit

cameras.

S. NJ. Ballou, sitting in the place of
Justice Whiting, disqualified, has rend-
cred a decision in the equity appeal
case of Nolney V. Ashford VS.. Henry
Poor and the Hawaiian Government.
The Supreme Court holds that "Ha-
waiian Government is not liable for
the appointment by the Postmaster
General of a clerk in the Postal Saw
ings bank to make deposits as trustee
for the plaintiff, such an appointment
not being within the real or apparent
scope of the Postmaster Generals Of
fetal duties, and having been ratified
by the plaintiff. The Hawaiian Gov
ernment is not liable for the defalca-
ton of a clerk in the Postal Savings
bank who, as trustee for the plaintiff,
makes a regular withdrawal of money
and fails to account therefor to the
