Probnbly never in the history o
Llhuo has there been a larger and
moro democratic funeral than that
of tho late Rev. Hans Iscnborg on
Sunday afternoon afternoon at tho
Lutheran Church.
Tho church was entirely Inadequate
for tho concourso of people who gath'
ered from all parts of tho Island and
from all conditions of life. Various
groups of widely differing races, who
could not find a place within tho
church, and who could not have uiv
derBtood if they had, were gathered
about tho church in attitudes of re
spectful rovorenco to testify their
regard for tho dead.
On arrival of tho body by tho Mauna
Loa in the morning, it was taken to
tho Molokoa home, whore it was dis
posed on a bier in tho midst of a
groat profusion of rare and beautiful
flowers, tho tribute of sorrowing
friends from all quarters and all

which tlmo friends wero permitted

Honolulu Lutheran Church, with Mr.

Tho music was appropriate and im
prcssivo, especially the singing of tho
Church choir and of tho Hawaiian
quartet.
Gy special request of tho decoasod,

FOR THE BOYS AT THE FRONT.
Mrs. II. D. WIshara turned Into the
Red Cross a few days ago a valuable
installment of knitted goods, tho work
of her band of industrious and dovotod
knitters, consisting of fivo knitted
sweaters, llftecn mufflers, twelve
wristlets, twelvo pair of socks and
ilfty wash rags.
This is about ono-thlrd of what her
workers have in hand; tho rest will
be turned in later. She has had under
lie r instructions' and leadership up
wards of a hundred workers, most of
whom have done excellent work.
Mrs. Wishard has put a great deal
of time and Intelligent hard work into
the enterprise, and deserves much
credit for what sho has done so
generously and with so much personal
sacrifice.
Mrs. H. W. Everett has been ap
pointed chief clerk of tho Kauai
Solectivo Service Local Board, a posi
tion for which sho is well fitted by
virtue of being an expert stenographer
and typewriter. At one time she was
English correspondent for ono of tho
largest importing houses in "Paris,

The Interested public are requested

haps, are a saffron yollow sweet po
