before the body was removed
thence. His lordship now met
the body at the main entrance,
where he was awaited by an es
cort of acolytes bearing tall
candles, holy water and incense.
Beautiful lima leis nearly
hid the lid Of the casket,
but, on this being laid on

Bishop Gulstan was assisted in
rendering the Liberia by Fathers
Matthias and Clement, and Dea-
cons Alloys and Julian. AS the
body was being carried up the
aisle, Father Valentin and the
choir sang the Meseremini to the
leaders, own accompaniment on
the organ. During the service at
the bier soft Gregorian music was
played. While the body was being
slowly borne to the hesrse, the
English song, "Jesus, Be His Rest
Eternal" by Rosewig was
given beautifully. 1t is re-
markably fine composition, aud its
rendering on this occasion caused
many admiring comments amongst
the eoncourse.
Interment was in the Wide
mann plot at Nuuanu cemetery.
The procession was very long
one. 1t was headed by the police
guard of honor. Ed. A. Williams
the undertaken had four black
horses, csparisoned in black net
ting, to draw the bearse. Chas.
II, Bellina, manager of the
Club stables, was the driver.
Owing to the desire in the dead
mans will for a simple funeral,
the Government band only met
the cortege at the grave. There,
while the Bishop rendered the
regular service, the baud softly
played "The Sweet Bye and Bye"
Immediately about the grave am
pie space was kept clear for the
clergy and the mourners, which
was a decided reform compared
with the crush that sometim 8

When the last narrow bed of
the departed was filled up with
mother earth, the mound was
densely covered with the emble-

tokens. Conspicuous among these
were the Hawaiian flag weaved in
natural colors by Mrs, w. Luther
