u6 community WAS uOG SUI piiseu
yesterday when the message was
sent forth, announcing the death of

the recent history of the Hawaiian
Islands.
The deceased, who was known as
an active, healthy and energetic
man during his long career in Ha-
waii was cast into Jail during the So
called rebellion in 1895, to satisfy
the personal enmity and grudge OF
few men, clothed with brief auth
ority and ever willing to forget old
friendships in asserting their usurped
power.
Charles Gulck died yesterday
morning at his King street residence,
attended to the last by his noble
wife, his aged mother aud few int
mate friends who had been appraised
OF the coming OF the end.
Since he was permitted to leave
Dole's Bastille and to doff the
striped livery of our president"
Gulick was a sick man. The cancer,
which was the Immediate cause of
his death, could not be stopped in
spite OF the best efforts of DR.. Coop

terror Department in 1870, position
he held for eight years.
He accepted Cabinet portfolio
in the Gibson administration under
Kalakaua, and was one of tho best
Ministers during the reign of that
lamented monarch. Under the
reign OF Liiuokalani he was again
appointed Cabinet officer and
maintained his record Of being a
true, faithful Royals, whose life
was spent in advancing the best in
terests of the Hawaiians.
Major Gulick was prominen
free mason, and his brethren in that
great society have taken charge oil

residence.

the Honolulu Fire Department oil
volunteers, and in the old Honolulu
Rifles, and the surviving members
of the two organizations will pay

city and leaves no issue.
