EX-QUEEN OFF TO NEW YORK
Liliuokalani and Party Leave Today for the
Greater City.
Probable That They May Go Thence
to Seaside ResOrt-Plans
Not Yet Settled.

Ex-Queen Liliuokalani, with her suite,
consisting of her private secretary, Julius
A. Palmer; two attendants and numerous
band boxes, vali5es and bundles. left the
Pennsy lvania station today at 10 O'Clock
for New York. where she will spend sew
eral days. Queen La will occupy box
Monday night at the new opera house to
witness an opera by the Madison Square
Company. The composers of the opera are
acquainted with the ex-uUeen, and re-
quested her presence on this account. The
party may return to the capital next week.
Capt. Palmer said, or they may decide to
spend a time at Cape May. Newport, Sara
toga or some other watering place. Royal
ties are not accustomed to make up their
minds on such matters until a short while
before the time arrives for them to be
carried out. So when the spirit, or heat,
moves | er the dethroned monarch of Ha-
vail will do what seems most appropriate.
Secretary Barred His Head.
The suite and the ex-queen arrived at the
Pennsylvania railroad station In carriage
from the Cairo flats, about $50 o'clock this
morning. Capt. Palmer wearing an anxious
look and his accustomed immaculate white
linen suit, with brass buttons, was the first
to emerge from the vehicle. Her highness
was assisted to alight, while her private
secretary barred his head. She was con-
Quoted into the main waiting room, where
she disposed her august parsonage on one
Of the seats, waving a fan vigorously, while
Capt. Palmer fitted about to secure tickets
and check the baggage, which, including a
guitar in a case, was carried for the time
being by colored porters.
The presence of Liliuokalani, as 1t gen.
orally does. attracted a large crowd. which
watched her at a respectful distance, and
wondered if royalty felt the heat as much
as do ordinary everyday people. 1t evil
IDENTIFY does by the way in which a friend
famed her, and the manner in which she
mopped her countenance with lace hand
kerchief. Capt Palmer. minus his top
piece. occupying the center OF the stage;
directly in front of the leading lady. and
shedding drops of perspiration in sym
pathy.
Attired In Black.
The ex-queen was attired in a black silk
dress, with some sort of a cape trimmed
with jet beads thrown over her shoulders.
On her head was a fetching bonnet trim
med with black ostrich plumes and caught
up behind by bunch of roses. On her
hands were silk half mitts. She was in
apparent good humor and watched the
crowd compla1ently out Of her sparkling
black eyes, for Queen Lii has very sharp
eyes.
Paymaster Connolly, L. S. N, who met
Liliuokalani In Hawaii with her sister sew
eral years ago, was at the depot, and was
presented by Capt. Palmer. He was re-
me embered, as the dusky ex-queen Is said
never to forget a face after having once
seen it,, and. she chatted pleasantly with
him until 1t came time :or their departure.
Capt. Palmer gave the signal and Lilino-
kalani arose with wonderful grace and
alertness, considering her size, stood for
moment chatting with acquaintances and
moved out of the room through the gate
to the train.
Captain Palmer had the tickets, which
were shown while the woman who once
ruled the Gestinies of a people, and now
does not know what will become OF her
unless her private secretary gives her tip,
waited a moment and then headed for the
train.
Poor Palmer.
Poor Captain Palmer. He had great
deal to attend to, but he accomplished 1t
and in q very brilliant manner. He car
ried a bundle of wraps on one arm, and
was almost weighted down on the other
by heavy satchel. Royalty was finally
deposited in a comfortable chair on board
the parlor car satchels and bundles were
counted and checked off and the captain
smoothed the wrinkles out of his brow.
Liliuckalani settled back in her seat, Piled
her fan vigorously and appeared fairly
happy.
The train pulled out from the station and
