MISS ROSE EN- ROUTE.
fContinued from First Page.)

r1ev Dole. Mr.. Colburn and others have
kindly offered to lend their names and
assistance in furthering this PROPOSE
ton, and they have suggested our writ
ing to you
Quite a number, perhaps forty or fifty,
have been spoken to respecting the lady
who should be sent if willing to go, and
of names on the island of Hawaii the
most prominent in the minds of friends
here is Miss Anna Rose. All unite in
saying that she would meet every de-
Inand of our Kansas friends, and we
feel would be a thorough representa-
tive of Hawaii. Hence this communica-
ton to you.
Now, what is desired is that you gen.
tlemen constitute yourselves COM
mittee, call upon the lady, present this
proposition in all it's details, and if pos
sible get a promise to accept this gior-
iOus offer. 1 say glorious because
believe it is a grand opportunity for
our Hawaiian girl. An answer by re-
turn steamer is desired as our time for
selecting a girl is limited. The young
lady must leave Honolulu September
Il by the Alameda
The proposition from the committee
IS to pay all expenses from Honolulu
to Topeka, Inconsistencies, railroad,
sleeping car accommodations, meals,
etc, and all expenses while in Topeka.
The lady will be entertained by the best
of society, received into the best Of To-
peka homes, her duties practically
nothing, and reception committee will
meet uGE at the steamer IN san IRAN
cisco, conduct her to Kansas and at the
conclusion of the festival will recon-
duct her to Frisco and see her home
ward bound. Three or four Honolulu
parties, both ladies and gentlemen,
leave here on the Alameda, thus insur-
ing cOmpaniOnship through from Hon
oiulu to Kansas In a letter written to
the committee by the "Moana," which
left here yesterday, requested that
their receiving committee in Frisco
have at least one lady in it. This re-
quest will undoubtedly be complied
with If lady from Hawaii, your is
land, is selected, her expenses to Homo
lulu and return home will be included
of course. If Miss Parker or Miss Rose
accepts this offer, let us know as soon
as possible, and the necessary funds for
steamer passage to Honolulu will be
sent down by next steamer, as we'll as
further details. Also, the Kansas COM
mlttee would very much like a photo
graph and a short sketch of the young
lady, in order that they may inform
their fellOW-citizens as to who their
queen is and what she looks like We
would emphasize the statement that it
is not an advertisement in any sense
of the word Their queen of
the carnival is always chosen from a
foreign state so there would be no pos
sibility of jealousy.
A committee will meet the young lady
here and render whatever assistance
is needed. 1t will not be necessary for
her to come to Honolulu at any par
ticular time, just SO that she arrives
IN ample time for the Alameda Septem-
her IA. Two or three days before that
would be sufficient
What we desire now Is definite an
swer of yes or no. If favorable we will
need look no further.
Trusting that success will crown your
efforts, and thanking you in advance
for your assistance in securing US the
kansas Queen of the Karnival," we
remain,
