differently. During the last quarter

FORMER QUEEN
LILIOUkALAN|
PASSES AWAY
Accomplished Song Writer and
Composer Passes to Final
Reward

Liliuokalani, former queen of Ha
wall, accomplished writer song com
poser and hostess, died last night
She was born near Honolulu in 1898
She was christened Lydia Kamaka
cha and was the daughter OF a noble
family. Following native custom
the object of which was TO cemen;
friendships, she was given to Panaki
and his wife Knoia, OF another noble
family, to raise. Her name, LiIiuoka
lani, Lily of Heaven" was given her
several years later.
As girl she attended the Royal
School at Honolulu and received a
fair education, which she supplement.
ed by much reading. She was a gift.
ed musician. Later in life she com
posed hundreds of Hawaiian songs;
some of which are now known all
over the world.
In the early years of the reign of
kamehmeha, when she was little more
than girl. the king complained to her
that Hawaii had no national air. lie
expressed the royal wish that she
remedy the shortening. The child
went to work and within a week she
had completed her task. The Hawai-
ian national anthem, words and music
both composed by the girl. was first
sung in the Kawaiahao church and
tie king was wildly enthusiastic over
it. He forthwith accepted it as the
national hymn.
In 1862 her marriage TO Mr.. DOM
inis took place. At this time Mrs.
pominfs was a remarkable beauty.
Her skin was dark, but she had fas.
cination for both whites and natives.
In 1881 King Kalahaua visited
Europe and LiiuokaIani served
satisfactorily as regent in his absence.
The princess was now heir apparent.
She made a triumphal tour of the is.
lands, being received with remarkable
acclaim everywhere.
Kalankua died away from the is.
lands and the L. S. cruiser Charles
ton brought his body home. Without
waiting even for the funeral, the min.
listers of the government and the jus.
ices of the supreme court summoned
the queen and forced her to sign a
new constitution. The document did
not Curtail her powers unduly, but
LiluOkolani was not satisfied.
She now made the mistake which
lost her the throne. In January, 1898
she drafted reactionary constitution
which disenfranchlsed foreigners.
The dethroned queen retired to heI
palace on a $1,000 year pension from
the Hawaiian Legislature Those whr
visited her found her charming com
panlon. She had n wide knowlcdg,
of books, music, men and events ant
| continuously turned out new melodie
which alone should have made he
| famous.
For several years she besieged tn
| Washington government with pet
tions to set her on her throne again
but finally she gave up these attempts
