Kawaiahao Church-Program of the
Funeral Remains Unchanged.

From 10 o'clock this morning the re-
mains of the late Princess Kaiulani
have lain in state before the altar in
Kawaiahao church. From that hour
throughout the forenoon there was an
endless chain of visitors, each person
ment to gaze for the last time upon the
face of the beloved young hope of the
Hawaiian race.
The bier is arranged beneath a pail
of purple plush and yellow silk, and an
arch of white. About it are the royal
kahilis in all colors and above is the
coat of arms of Kaiulani. The body
rests in pure white casket. The glass
top extends about half its length.
1t was remarked by everyone that
the face of the princess looks most nat
ural and the spell of sleep is suggested
rather than death. There is slight
paleness, but that is all.
Around the bier during the forenoon
the watchers and kahili bearers have
stood watch in the same way as at
Ainahau last Tuesday. There was a
deep solemnity about everything that
went on. Many people waited in tears
and the natives were much affected.
There was heard constantly the mourn
ing chant of the women mingled with
the sobs and tears of children and men,
Grief was general and outspoken.

be presented. At o'clock the church

The body of the dead princess was
brought from Ainahau last night to
Kawaiahao church. 1t arrived shortly
after 1 o'clock this morning. Several
hundred people waited at the church
to witness the reception of it there.
Most of these left the church before
the body arrived, however as privacy
was requested.

gy met the hearse at the door. The
casket was taken into the church by
