gre Indian reservation in Utah refused

the story of the natives living in ad-
joining rooms, would seem to contra
dict any such possibility.
1t is stated that the deceased was
in his room early Saturday evening,
and that he coughed and muttered for
the best part of the night and morn
ing. An old native woman AYERS that
she heard deceased cough for the last
time between the hours of 6 and a. m.
Deceased had been in the country
for long time, and was employed at
various jobs until taken down with the
malady which caused his death.
Burns had been a constant sufferer
from consumption, and was sent to the
Queens Hospital twice for treatment.
Ccnsumptives being tabooed from the
hospital, it was found necessary to send
him away. He was then taken charge
Qf by the British Benevolent Society.

received all the care it was possible to
give him, and was provided with the
room in which he was found dead.
The body was prepared for burial,
and after services in st. Andrews Ca

ating, it was inferred in Nuuanu Gem
etery. H. H. Williams had charge of
the funeral.

THE RICHARDS CONCERT.
Grand Artistic and Financial
Success.

Grand Artistic and Financial
Success.
The testimonial concert to Miss
Grace Richards was the artistic sue
cess that was promised by the pro
moters, and the beneficiary was, no
doubt, pleased with the cordial recep-
ton given her by the audience. There
were Il numbers on the program, and
each one was capitally rendered by the
respective artists.
Miss Richards first number was a
selection from Carmen, "Qui del Con-
trabbandier," for which she received
hearty applause. Mr.. Monteagle rem
dered Gounod's "Deo Possente" most
acceptably. A violin SOLO by Miss
Kate McGrew was enthusiastically en-
cored, and the performer graciously
responded Mrs. Montague-Turner rem
dered ave Maria" in a manner which
demonstrated beyond question that,
while her appearance in public is only
at intervals, her voice has lost none of
its sweetness. AS was to be expected,
her song was encored, notwithstanding
the published wish of the cynic, who
does not care for more than a little
good music at time.
The Honolulu Choral Society, which
has grown so efficient under the lead
ership of Miss Richards, rendered
chorus by Hawley very effectively. A
vocal duet by Miss McGrew and Miss
Richards, and one for piano and vio-
lin by Miss Clymer and the veteran
Professor Yarndley, were both encored
Miss Jessie Reeve Axtell sang two So
los, Might in Slumber," and La
Charmante Marguerite" in a manner
which showed careful training and per-
feet command of her rich contralto
voice.
Three solos by Miss Richards, one
composed and dedicated to her by Miss
Clymer, were delightfully."- refreshing
but if there was preference on the
part of the audience it was for a Ger
man ballad, 'Ungeduld," by Schubert
The musical selection at the begin
ming of the concert was an inte1mezzo
by Matt and was rendered by Miss
Parmelee, piano; w. A. Love and B.
L. Marx, first yiolins; T. H. Petrie and
R. Bond, second violins; A. B. ingalls,,
flute; Wray Taylor, violincello. The
accompanies for the vocal selections
were Miss Hopper, Miss Parmelee and
Miss Clymer.
