With one accord the business and
professional citizens of Honolulu will
make their memorial of President Nc
Kinley Saturday morning a spontane-
Gus outburst of patriotic and heartfelt
sympathy. From every side comes
the announcement that there will be
no business done on that day, and
that the turnout of people will be such
as to show that there is but one heart
beat here, and that is in unison with
the sorrowing people of the entire ma
ton.
Not only will all business of an Off
ciaI nature be suspended, but there
will be universal closing of the gen.
of ha oil no mi cd
States departments will be closed en-
tirely, and there will be nothing done
in courts, custom offices or postofFlce.
1t seems to be the desire to make the
day one entirely given over to formal
expression of the grief which has been
depressing the city since the news Of
the death of the chief executive of the
nation was received.
Final arrangements have been made
for the ceremony with which the day
will be marked There will be a SOL
emn concert by the band in the
grounds of the Kawaiahao Church
during Saturday morning, and the GER
emonies will be held there beginning
at 10 o'clock. There will be only a
few seats reserved for the officials of
the Territory and the United States,
and all others will be thrown open
for the people who may desire to at
tend, and the outlook is that there
will be more than church full of the
citizens Ushers will be secured by
Colonel Allen, who has that branch Of
the service in hand, and there will be
no delay or confusion in the seating of
the people. There will be printed pro-
grams, and the hymns will be printed
in full upon them.
The services will be in the following
order, so far as can be arranged at
present:
Invocation-Rev E. S. Timoteo
Music-Choir.
Reading of the Scriptures-F. w.
Damon. AAki
Prayer-Rev. C. B. Dyke.
Solo-'Peace, Troubled Heart" Mrs.
Montague Turner.
Address-Rev. A. Macintosh.
Address-Rev. H. H. Parker.
Music-Choir.
Address-His Excellency Governor S.
B. Dole. e!
Aderess-Rev w. NJ Kincaid; or, in
his absence, Rev. w. d. Westervelt.
Music-Choir.
Benediction-Rev. John P. Erdman.
A special choir is being arranged for
by Mr.. Theodore Richards, and the
hymns to be sung are as follows:
"Deus Omnipotens,' God, the All Ter
rible! Thou Who Ordainest," "Ameri-
ca Nearer My God to Thee" Mrs.
Montague Turner will sing Nevin's
Peace, Troubled Heart"
1t is expected that Mr.. W. G. Ir-
win will call the meeting to order and
will call upon Governor Dole to pre-
side. In that case the address of the
Governor will be made at the time he
takes charge of the meeting. The Bish-
op of Panopolis was asked to be, or to
provide, one of the speakers. but asked
to be excused, as there is none of the
fathers who can speak English with
sufficient facility to make an address
upon such an occasion. He informed
the committee however that there
would be said a special mass in
memoriam on Sunday morning.
In addition to these arrangements it
is understood that the committee pro-
poses to have prepared a memorial
which will be forwarded to Washing
ton, perhaps in common with the 9th l.
er bodies of the city.
