By the Miowera the other day,
we received direct from the fac
tory, magnificent assortment
of French China. Among the
lot we have two new stock pat
terms, from which customers
may select either one piece or
ten dozen. In this way custo-
mers may replace any breakage
at the lowest possible cost and
without the necessity of purchas-
ing an entire new set.
In this same invoice we have
some of the most beautifully de-
corated toilet sets ever shown in
Honolulu. There are made of
fine crockery and will ornament
any wash stand.
A fad among Honolulu peo-
pie is decorating china. AT the
exhibition by the pupils of Miss
French at Oahu College a short
time ago, some beautiful speci-
mems, the work of her pupil,
were shown and will stand COM
parison with the work of pro-
fessional artists abroad. Our
stock which was opened a day or
two ago contains all sorts ofpieces
and in many sizes. They are
made especially for decorating
and are inexpensive.

DEATH OF MIR WILLIS.
Tho American Minister Passes Quietly
Away This Morning.


At a very early hour this morning,
the city was startled aud paired to
hear rumors Of the collapse Of His
Excellency Albert S. Willis, y. S.
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
Plenipotentary to Hawaii, but it
was not until shortly after 8 o'clock
that the transition from this life TO
that Of the unknown occurred, The
deepest sympathies of all welled out
for his bereaved wife and family, and
expressions of sorrow we're heard on
all sides. To these sympathies The
INDEPENDENT adds its own.
As soon as the news of the
Minister'S death was received in
town the flags on the Judiciary
Building and at Military Head
quarters were half masted, and
Minister Of Foreign Affairs Henry
e. Cooper, with tho Secretary OF
the Department Major Geo. G.
Potter, proceeded to the late resi-.
deuce OF the deceased. Almost
simul' aneously the asgs on all Dip
lomatic sad Consular Headquarters,
on the shipping ia port, at the
American League Headquarters and
on many private residences were
lowered to half mast. A large
number OF Government Officials,
Representatives OF other countries
aud prominent citizens left their
cards during the day.
Albert S Willis was boru at Shell
by County, Kentucky, January %,
1913, and was consequently 80 years
OF age. Tno deceased received an
early education in the common
schools Of his native town, and
graduated at the Louisville Male
High School in 1860. He then
taught school for four years and
studied law at the time, graduating
from the Louisville law school in
1866 Since then the late Minister
Willis engaged in law practice, and
in 1872 he took an active part in
politics, cauvassing his State on the
electoral Democratic ticket He
was elected Attorney OF Jefferson
County and served in that Office un-
til he was elected a member OF the
Forty-fifth Congress- He was re.
elected during the next ten years
and another term was offered him
recently by his constituents.
On the 7th Of November, 1898, he
was appointed Minister to the Ha
waiian Islands and remained here
until his death.
The deceased had been in delicate
health for some time. His recent
visit to the United States did moi
improve his health and an unfortun
sts carriage accident sustained ate
a wedding service at the Anglican
Cathedral, hastened on the untimely
end Of the Minister.
