esteem and love for the dead girl there
were subdued yet earnest remarks of
sympathy for Gov. Cleghorn. The
strong father bears nobly the blow
which has stunned him. But he sui
iers and only those who know him
well can realize how much.
There Is a stream OF carriages all
of yesterday to Ainahau, the pretty
country place which was arranged by
Gov. Cleghorn to be the Island home
OF his daughter From early morning
till evening those who had known the
young princess and those who were
friends Of Gov. Cleghorn went TO Alma
hau to offer the word, the hand-clasp
or the flower blossom Of sincerest con-
dolence. Many messages fearful in tone
were received by the father
In town there was little talked OF
beside the untimely taking OF OF the
princess. Sad, sad, was the common
utterance. Many were the stories told
OF the graciousness Of the one who had
been the hope Il the Hawaiians and the
pride OF the whole nation. 1t was said
that she was so gentle, SO consider
ate, so generous and so unassuming In
every way. In many cases one would
thing that the speaker had lost mem
Der OF his or her own family. The Ha-
waiians about the fishmarket and all
along the water front were notably
impressed.
The people of the social circle in
which Kaiulani moved, which was the
highest Of the land, are profoundly
grieved over the death. At all the
functions, in all the charitable move
ments, Princess Kaiulani was an ac-
tive identity.
buildings OF the Government were
placed at half-mast. The same mark
OF respect was shown at the various
consulates and at the American
Agency.

to place at the disposal OF Gov. Cleg-
horn such resources of the Government
as 1t might be desired to use in con-
| nection with preparation for the fun
eral and the funeral itself. This de-
cision was conveyed to Gov. Cleghorn
| by Minister Damon. The stricken
father acknowledged the courtesies ex-
tended. He said that the only plan he
had was for a funeral similar to that
of Queen Emma. For that reason it
was the wish to have the body in state

morrow and at Kawaiahao church the
sa me hours on Saturday, the funeral 10

ternoon, the cortege TO move to the
royal mausoleum in Nuuanu valley.
Gov. Cleghorn wished the Government
to take charge of arrangements, and
suggested Maj. Potter chief OF the
Presidents staff, as a capable director.
All will be done in accordance with
the wishes Of the father. The funeral
on Sunday next will be an elaborate
one. There will be military and police
details and very heavy general at
tendance to honor one whose excel
lence was so indelble.
