The speaker called hands up for every

side would be raised And his dear
wife's thoughts for the good Of 9th
ers went out with his.
How we will miss Mr.. Baldwin,
everybody was saying. They would
miss him on the plantation, miss him
in the political field, miss him in phil
anthropic institutions-the Maunaolu
Seminary, the Baldwin and Alexander
settlements and others. They had
left to them his sons, the richest part
of whose inheritance was their faith
ers good name.
Ever since Mr.. Baldwin told him
that he hoped to round out a half
century of his work in the sugar in
dustry, the speaker wished and
prayed that he might be spared for
ten years more than that half CEN
fury to see additional fruition of his
benevolences Yet his life was a long
one, very nearly the allotted three
score and ten years. and it was an
active life. And he had passed away
in peace with all of his family around
him excepting one son.
Mr.. Turner concluded by reading
few lines from DR.. Babcock on
Emancipation, making application
of the sentiments to the memory Of
Mr.. Baldwin.
Rev. D. w. K. White, pastor of the
Wainee church, which Mr.. Baldwin
attended when a boy, made few re-
marks and pronounced the benedic-
ton in Hawaiian.
At the grave Rev. Henry P. Judd
read scripture selections, followed
by DR.. Scudder with prayer Jesus,
Lover of My Soul" was sung, and
then Rev. Manuel G. Santos offered a
prayer and pronounced the benedic-
ton.
Funeral Details.
Before the services began an OPP
portunity was given the people to
take a last view Of the face of the
dead. Hundreds so eagerly responded
that it was necessary to have a police
man with assistants at the foot of the
steps to regulate the stream of human
ity. Japanese, Portuguese, Hawaiians
and others Of both sexes and all ages
swarmed up in one closely packed
line, two or three ARREST, on one side
and down the other after passing
around the coffin from foot to head.
Many stood packed in a dense mass
for several minutes waiting to get
into the line. During the services in
the house the rooms on both sides of
the parlor, in which the chief mourn
ers sat facing the bier, were filled to
their seating capacity and a crowd
stood in the lanai, while the grounds
in front were one mass of people.
After the services the coffin, of plain
koa wood with heavy silver mountings,
was carried out to the helrse by the
pall-bearers, these being Senator S. p.
Kalama, d. l.. Fleming, DIR. McConkey,
j B. Thompson, L. M. Baldwin, w. A.
Baldwin, J. n. S. Williams and w. F.
Pogue.
In the order stated the chief mourn
ers occupied carriages after the hearse
as follows:
Mrs. H, p. Baldwin, with DR.. William
ID, Baldwin and Mrs. Harold w. Rice.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank F. Baldwin
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry A. Baldwin.
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph p. Cooke
Mr.. Harold w. Rice and Mrs. Will
liam d. Baldwin.
Mr.. D. Dwight Baldwin.
Then followed ding string of auto
mobiles and carriages with a vast
concourse on foot. The mile or more
of the route to the cemetery was
crowded with the procession, and so
dense was the throng within the en-
closure that police officers and attend
ants had to force open lane to per-
NIT the immediate funeral party to
reach the grave.
All of the members of the family
of the late Mr., Baldwin were present
excepting Arthur Baldwin, a son, en-
gagged in law practice in Cleveland, o,
The Floral Tributes.
It is doubtful if there has ever been
such a floral display at funeral in
these islands as on this occasion.
From Honolulu the steamer Mauna
Kea brought scores of flower COMPOSE
tions, mostly of emblematic designs,
contributed by individuals and organi
cations They filled a deck space OF
