Precisely that. Suppose the Jour-

following:
Chung Fong, or Along, was a Chi
nese mercantile gentleman, who &C.
qulred a considerable fortune in
Honolulu, partly by a successful SUI
gar plantation near Hilo. His wife
here was Miss Fayerweather, of one
fourth Hawaiian blood, by whom he
had thirteen daughters and three
sons, all of whom, except one son. are
living, and, except one daughter, mar
ried. The twelve daughters were all
married to reputable white gentlemen,
mostly in professional life. One of
them lives in California, as the wife
of Rear Admiral Whiting, u. s. A
Mrs. Along lives in her fine residence

daughters, established in their own
