DAVID Al BORNE
To LAST REST
Many of All Races Testify Their
Appreciation of His
Life.

Many, both Hawaiians and whites,
attended the funeral of the late David
Al, to pay the last respects to the
memory of one who in his character
and his life reflected the highest credit
on his race. The floral remembrances
from friends were many and varied,
and, though not nearly all elaborate in
their production, testified the esteem
in which Mr.. Al was held.
The remains were taken from the
undertaker's at o'clock yesterday
morning to San Antonio Hall, where
they lay in state throughout the fore
noon and part of the afternoon. The
casket was buried in flowers, and many
who had known the deceased in his
lifetime called during the day to take
a last look at the face they had known
SO well in life. Throughout the day
guard of honor from the Kauikeaouli
Society stood about the casket.
At three o'clock in the afternoon the
body was taken to Kawaiahao church,
Preceding the hearse on the mournfui
journey to the church were the MEM
bers of both the women's and the mems
branches of the Kauikeaouli Society.
The men moved in two battalions of
several companies each, marching with
something like military precision. Fol-
lowing them were the Kamehameha
Alumni Association, about sixty in
number, and with them Principal
Horne and several members of the fac
uIty. Then the women of the Kauf-
keaouli Society, about fifty in number,
all dressed in white, but wearing black
hats.
The floral remembrances were carried
bv a guard of honor appointed for
that purpose and numbering more than
thirty.
Following the hearse We're carriages
containing the widow of the deceased,
his aged parents, and other relatives
The procession moved down Emma and
Alakea to King, and out King to Ka-
waiahao church. At the church the
two battalions of the Kauikeaouli So
ciety lined up on either side of the
avenue leading from the gate to the
church, and while they barred their
heads the hearse passed through.
Seats had been reserved in the body
of the church for the members of the
society, the remainder Of the church,
including the gallery, being filed with
friends of all races.
The floral arrangement at the church
was most beautiful and effective. Along
the front of the pulpit platform was
a mass of purple asters. At the sides
and in the center there were great
masses of white flowers, lilies and mar
guerites, while great leis of pluma ria
We're roped and festooned from one to
another of these. On the right of the
pulpit platform was great mass of
yellow flowers
While the body was being brought
into the church and the attending
friends were being seated the organist
played softly. A choir sang some of
the triumphant songs of the Christian
faith. The Rev. H. H. Parker, who
had been the pastor of the deceased
almost throughout his whole life, read
the scripture lesson. The Rev. w. Lo-
no. pastor of Kaumakapili church,
made the address. The Hon. E. K.
Lilikalani read a biographical sketch
or the deceased. hymns were sung Dy
the Kamehameha Alumni and the girls
from Kawaiahao Seminary.
Following the services at the church
the body was carried into the Kawaia-
hao churchyard cemetery where, with
the services of the Kauikeaouli society,
it was consigned to the earth in joyful
hope of the resurrection.
