Miss Pauline Astor, who May Bee
come Duchess OF RoxburEhe.
When WilliamHW Waldorf Astor removed
himself and family to England, bought a
town house, a castle and aLondon news
paper, he practically ezpatriated himself
and became IA Englishman, SO the am
nouncement that his only daughter, Miss
Pauline Astor, is to wed one Of the Eng
lish nobility should cause no surprise.
The Duke Of Roxburghe. to whom it is
said she is engaged, is a peer Of ancient
lineage and has an enormous fortune, SO
he is by no means q fortune hunter.
Miss Pauline Aston is a very pretty
young woman Of 10 of whom Americans
have seen and heard very little. She went
to live in England when abe was a child,
and now She would hardly be recognized
even in the most exclusive Newport circles.

The new silks have the most exquisite
flowers prH ted upon them, as perfect as
can be. Nld aside from those with flowers
the colors themselves are like whole banks
and beds of blossoms. Blue there is that
looks like the fringe of forgetmenots along
the banks of a river I once saw in the
Franconian, Alps in Bavaria. Poppy reds
are piled on top of each other, locking
like the fields of those gorgeous flowers

shades are copied from the tints of flow

The "morning glory puppies are most
beautiful, for somehow the weayers or

But amaryllis, %cyclainen and the deep

prettier from the j%udicious admixture Of
green. Blue is expected a~tfleast to lead,

all of them handsome. National blue with
trimmings or accessories of baby blue is
already shown as a novelty. Cream color
ivory and from there on to crocus and

A DEATH ASHORE
Boy in Blue Passes Away
in Honolulu.
Was In the Red Cross Hospital
Received Best Care-A Sad
Funeral Held.

The Honolulu Red Cross Hospital
has had its first death II. c. Fisk. a
member of the Lincoln Company of the
Nebraska Regiment in the second Ma
Mia expedition, was the man. He was
i'll of typhoid fever, was afling at San
Francisco, was sick all of the way
down and was unconscious when
brought ashore here Fisk was about
D years of age and the papers he had
show that he was well connected and
a man of character and good standing
The death occurred at 3 o'clock yester-
day morning. Fisk was given every
care and attention possible by the
ladies and physicians of Honolulu. He
had the benefit Of treatment by the
leading medical men of the Islands
and the watchful ministratiOn not only
of trained nurses, but of ladies ex-
eremely anxious to aid in his recovery.
Twenty-fOur hours before the young
man died it was seen that there was
no hope. Those about Fisk were great
ly grieved on account of his fatal i'll
ness and his inability to say anything
for himself. He was absolutely among
strangers, but had loving and constant
care.
The funeral was held yesterday af-
ternOOn from Central Union church
and was a very sad affair. Red Cross
and other ladies brought many flow
ers for the casket and grave. The pail
bearers were members of the National
Guard of Hawaii and an escort from
the National Guard, commanded by
Lieutenant Ludewig, attended the fun
eral. Rev. y. P. Birnie spoke most
feelingly, both at the church and at
the grave. Many were moved to tears.
On Saturday there were six patients
in the Red Cross hospital. These were
attended by volunteers and paid nurses
under the direction of Mrs. G. 3. Wood
There is no lack of volunteers. On
duty at different times were noticed a
number of the most prominent ladies
of the city.
One of the patients seen on Saturday
was the man who has since died. An
other is quite i'll. A third is GONZALES
cent, occupying reclining chair. The
other three are able to be about. All
regretted very much that they had been
left behind.
The Red Cross hospital is in the
Child Garden building on Beretania
street. The place is now well equipped
for the work at hand. Every doctor
in the city is a volunteer on the staff
Of physicians and surgeons.

Judging from the unqualified praise
given to Mr.. Holmes by the leading
daily papers of the States, he must in
every way have proven himself wor-
thy successor of Mr.. John L. Stoddard,
who has but recently retired from the
platform.
Mr.. Holmes is a native of Chicago,
but is far from being a typical western
er in appearance, looking much more
like Bostonian, being a man OF evil
dent intellectualitv. He is rather
slender, fairly tall, of light COM
plexfon, with pointed beard, bright
eyes and thoughtful forehead, which
marks him as a gentleman Of keen OBJ
servation, careful analysis and scholar
ly attainment, while his speaking
voice, resonant without harshness, de-
notes the practical speaker. The illus
tratiOns of all his lectures are from
negatives Of Mr.. Holmes taking, col
ored by a newly discovered process, in
to which a number of motion
pictures are shown, similar to those
produced by the CinematOgraph. The
motion picture machine used in the
lectures is the product of the inventive
genius of Mr.. Holmes assistant, Mr..
Oscar Bennett De Pue, who. with Mr..
Louis Francis Brown, of Boston, is
travelling with Mr.. Holmes and under
whose direction all Of the illustrating
instruments are manipulated.
In the lecture on the Yellowstone Ma
tionaI Park, by means Of this instru-
ment, a number Of the principal water
falls and geysers are shown, in actual
motion, while during the series Of three
lectures, motion pictures will lie
shown of United States troops pre-
pairing to go to Cuba, cavalry charges,
etc. The money which the ladies ac-
Guire from these lectures viii go TO
swell the fund so much needed by the
Red Cross Society, in pursuing its er-
rand Of mercy.

Visiting the Monterey.

About 1000 people, including a very
large proportion of native Hawaiians,
visited the monitor Monterey yester-
day afternoon. The shore boats did
a rushing business and all the small
craft of the bay were rushed into COM

impressed with the great guns point

amount of superstructure for a vessel
carrying nearly 200 men was astonish-

The steamer Waialeale arrived in
port from Laie at noon on Saturday,
having made the run from that place
in a little over six hours. When she
first grounded at Laie it was supposed
tat she was very badly injured, but
the fact that she came up in such ex-
cellent time and also that very little
water leaked in would go to contra
dict this. The Waialeale is now on the

LATE AND LEFT.

The last trip of the Mohican launch
with belated Boys in Blue was made
at / p. m, with a passenger list of
eight men. The ships were ten miles
out when a boy who had been trying
| swipes as an experiment came along
to the tug wharf and offered Capt Hill
bus Of the Eleu the vast sum of 81 to
catch the Zealandia. The captain w9s
sorry to be compelled to refuse the
charter. After the transport fleet was
we'll away there were seen in town
number Of members Of hospital CORDS
several privates Of different companies
and one lieutenant They said thew
had been given shore liberty and had
no idea they would be left.
There seems to be no definite idea
as to the exact number of men left here
by the transports, outside of the ones
who were sick. However it is certain
that there are at least two.
The Belgic, which sailed at a m. on
Sunday, took lieutenant and one pri-
vate who Overstayed their limit ashore.
The men got down to the landing as
the transports were well under way.
The Mohican signalled to them to stop
and sent the steam launch out with the
two men in question. Over ten miles
was Travelled when the MOhican sig
nailed to the launch to return to port.
The chase was frUit1ess one The
transports had evidently not seen the
signals
The lieutenant and private will ar
rive in Hong KOnk before the trans
ports and viii then if possible, return
to their respective companies.
DIED IN AN INSTANT.
The second cook of the transport
steamer Colon died suddenly of dropsy
Of the heart while on duty Saturday
morning He had not mentioned that
he was at all i'll or subject to attacks
Of any sort.
It was learned that the mans name
was Chas. II. Robinson and that he
was a member Of the I. o. o. f. The
captain of the Colon at once sent up
town for Or. g. T. Rodgers, c. S.
Crane, l.. /. LaPierre and other well
known members of the Odd Fellow
lodges Of this city. The local Odd Eel
lows responded nobly They took
charge Of the remains and in the af-
ternOOn gave burial, using a lot in the
I. o. o. F. plot in Nuuanu cemetery.
The clergyman was Rev. G.. /. Pearson,
of the First Methodist church, and his
brief discourse was very impressive
one.
Robinson was 48 years of age and a
quiet man Of good habits. He was
born in New York, but called Santa
Rosa, Calf, his home. He had been
in business there, and his mother re-
sides at that place. Robinson had
written to his mother very affection
