1 Tribute to Miss oargin.

on Wednesday afternoon, April 10Th
Miss Myrtle f. Ycargin was laid to
rest in the Lamcns cemetery beside
her parents. Mr.. and Mrs II. H.
Geargin, and four sisters, who passed
over the dark river before her.
After months OF heroic suffering
she answered the summons that called
to rest and peace and the life eternal
We can fancy the joyous welcome
awaiting her on the other side from
the dear father and mother and the
precious sisters who have preceded
her to that sweet and blessed country
where sin and suffering are no more
She can now join them i'm singing
praise to the Lamb whose blood wash
es them from every stain and who
fills them with his life. giving presence
But there are broken hearts left
behind who mourn her loss. They
miss the sweetness of her companion
ship. the loving ministrations OF her
faithful hands, and the inspiring ex-
ample of her devotion to all that was
true and noble.
Her most characteristic trait was
the energetic performance of every
known duty. She never in any way
yielded TO sloth of mind or body. With
loving heart and willing hands she
was always ready to be of service to
others. No task ever seemed too hard
and none TOO delicate for her skillFul
fingers.
Her strong and beautiful character
will ever remain as an Inspiration to
those who knew her best. and will
be as heavenly influence to lead
them into ways of truer service to
their fellowmen and greater devotion
to the Lord whom it was her delight
to serve. NJ.

more FIGURES
FROM CENSUS

Governor Frear at noon today hand
ed out some figures relating to the re-
cent census. These relate to the
island of Oahu and refer to citizens,
having nothing whatever to do with
aliens. These figures show that there
are 1852 male citizens here over
eight years of age. OF this number,
there are 11S whose ages are unknown.
OF the remainder 1884 are of vot-
ing age. From that number may be
deducted 1,547 officers and enlisted
men in the army and navy serving
here, although probably some of them
are under 81. That would leave about
S,S47 entitled to vote, but of this num-

the Sierra was put forward half an

every package destined for the mail

thing was cleaned up and it was only
