Fred Whitncy's Demise.

News of the death of Philip y.
Mondt. for many years a resident Of
Maui, will be received with surprise
and sorrow by his many friends in the

Mr. Mondt died suddenly of heart
disease in San Francisco on Deccm-
Der 23rd. His body was found lying
where it had fallen from the chair in
which he had been sitting.
The deceased was close personal
friend of Manager l.. NJ. \etlescn of
the Hawaiian Hardware Company, and
when seen last by him in San Fran
cisco last month presented every APP
pearance of health.
Mr.. MOndt was man of large uc-
quaintance and was generally liked by
all who knew him. He was IA kindly
man, loved 10y his friends, of whom he
had hosts, even though of retiring
disposition. His innate goodness of
heart and gentleness of manner en-
deared him to all with whom he came
in contact, while his honesty and his
sterling worth combined with his abil-
ity in business matters, gave him Il
high standing in his profession.
Years ago he occupied prominent
position in the German Savings and
Loan Society, but close attention 10
his duties so impaired his health that
he was compelled to resign and he
then accepted the position of head
bookkeepcr and paymaster of the Ha.
waiian Commercial and Sugar Com

pany was of such benefit that he was
