Many native Hawaiians dislike wis.,
ing the museum on account of the
things exhibited there, % many OF them
having been once considered sacred,
and others worn by their chiefs or
aliis, or perchance belonged to them.

very high chief who died in battle in
1895 over the Pail, Is In one OF the
glass cases and adorns the handle of
a; kahih named after him. There are
other equally gruesome things.
Mr. Brigham is the director. of the
museum and has had charge ever since
the building has been in existence.
Most OF the valuable and rare curios
were owned by kings and their success
sive heirs The museum is divided
into two apartments. one for Hawaii
an curios and the other illustrative
of the South Sea Islands. An inspec-
ton of this wonderful collection gives
the visitor some idea Of Hawaiian Gus
toms, which are at the present time
slowly but surely disappearing. Mrs.

who by her will beQueathed her estate

Pauahi received her education, together
with Liliuokalani and all who were OF
royal descendants. !
She was married to C. R. Bishop on
June s, 1850. and died October 1s, 1884.
By her will i've trustees were appoint-

have the native children thoroughly
educated, so as to make good and in
dustrious men and women of them. q

There is also preparatory school for

The scholars all receive excellent
care and instruction under the splendid
management Of Mr.. Thompson, the

thorough. Both give their whole time
