The history Of Hon. Elizabeth !lar-
riet Grieve, who flourished in England
in 1854, illustrates favorite meth
cd by which the old-time Britishers
endeavored to secure snug places.
This lady, who said that she was first
cousin to Lord North, second cousin
to the Duke Of Grafton, nearly related
to Lady Fitzroy and a personal friend
of Lord Guilford and Charles James
Fox. drove about London in hand
some chariot, with footmen; her char
lot stopped at the doors of great
houses; she received great people at
her own house, notably Charles James
Fox; she also condescended to receive
smaller people. The latter gave her
large sums OF money. in return for
which she promised them places. One
was to be a clerk in the victualing Of
flee, one was to be a court walter; one
was to be clerk in the admiralty; one
was to be settled tidesman;" an
other was to have anything that hap
pcned to be going. Charles Fox as
sisted, unwittingly. at spreading the
belief in the lady's powers and pro-
misses because he frequently drove to
her lodgings. and left his carriage out
side for all the world to see. The rea-
son was not friendship. but interest.
He. too, received promises. He was
at the moment impecnnious. The lady
promised him 4 West Indian heress.

"agerness of a young lover. Alas! the
heiress was never visible: she was
even reported to be laid up with small
pON. Tier visits were so useful to the
Hon. Elizabeth that she actually lent
him $1,000. a step which naturally
made him believe more firmly in the
West Indian. Of course when the ex
pectant men found that there was
nothing for them they went to court
and saw the III" gstrate. 1t came out,
on investigation, that the lady was
not in any sense hOnorable: that she
was not related TO any great people;
and that she was nothing more than
an eX-convict recently returned from
Virginia. They kept her in prison for a
tvelvemonth-the delay is not ex-
plained--and then banished her for
seven years.

The Flight Of Empress EuCcDle,

The true story of the flight of the
Empress Eugene from the TuillerieS
will soon he published. 1t is now in
the form of manuscript left by DR..
r. w. Evans, the American dentist,
who accompanied the Empress in her
flight to England. DR.. Crane, who
aided Dr. Evans in protecting Eugene
and accelerating her flight, says he
only awaits decision of the court be-
fore publishing this contribution to
French history. The reason why it was
not published during DR.. Evans life
time is because it deals hard blows at
those who deserted the Empress in her
hour Of trial. Now that most of the
chief actors in the drama of 1870 have
passed away. the venerable ex-Empress
has expressed the wish that this inter-
esting manuscript be published.

PIONEER PLANTER GONE.
DEATH LAST NIGHT OF ROBERT
HALSTEAD.
Came to the Islands From England
More Than Thirty Years Ago-Was a
Practical and Progressive Planter.

Robert Halstead died last evening at
his residence, Makiki at about $3.50
o'clock of dropsy. While Mr.. Halstead' S
health has not been the best for some
time. II was only within the past few
days that It took a serious turn.
Robert Halstead was born at Tod
morden, Yorkshire, England, August 10,
1886. He came to the Islands about
thirty years ago, and early engaged in
the sugar industry At that time the
sugar industry was little developed, and
its methods as compared with those of
the present were very simple and prim-
tive. With a partner under the firm
name of Halstead & Gordon, a plan
tation was started in the Waialua dis
trict, Island of Oahu, which is known
popularity as the Halstead plantation,
and achieved continuous success, until
two years ago, when it was sold to the
Waialua Agricultural Company
AS a sugar planter Robert Halstead
was practical and progressive. Begin
ming at a time antecedent to the reel
procity treaty, he experienced the bene-
fits of that measure, and his plantation,
though not one of the large ones of
the Islands, was one of the successful
ones.
The deceased leaves a widow and six
children, three sons and three daugh-
tiers. Edgar and Frank Halstead left
the Islands short time ago for a tour
of Europe. Norman Halstead is in San
Francisco Miss Emily Halstead is Wis
iting in Denver. The other two daugh-
tiers, Mrs. w. O. Lakeland and Mrs. DR..
r. H. Reid are in Honolulu.
The deceased was a member of St.
Clements chapel, Punahou. The fun
eral will be held from the Masonic Tenn
pie at $3.50 o'clock this afternoon, under
the auspices of Lodge lie Progress, Free
and Accepted Masons, of which Mr..
Halstead was a member.
