"Not alone have I lost everything
in him, my beloved husband, but the
nation, too, has suffered an irreparable
loss when their best friend,
father and sovereign thus suddenly
was called away. May God give us
all His divine help to bear this
heaviest of crosses which he has
seen fit to lay upon us. 'His will
be done.'
"Give to me a thought in your
prayers which will comfort and sustain
me in all that I have to go
through. Let me take this opportunity
of expressing my heartfelt
thanks for all the touching letters
and tokens of sympathy 1 have received
from all classes, high and
low, rich and poor, which are so
numerous that I fear it would be
impossible for me to ever thank
everybody individually.
"I confide my dear son into your
care, who, I know, will follow in
his dear father's footstep., begging
you to show him the same loyalty
and devotion you showed his dear
father. I know both my dear son
and daughter-in-law will do their
utmost to merit and keep it."
THE ROYAL CHAIR.
The chair in which all the English
sovereigns for the past 500
years have sat to be crowned is a
rough wooden affair, with a Gothic
back. It stands on the backs of four
wooden lions and has underneath
the seat the famous "Stone of
Scone," on which the Scottish sovereigns,
down to the time when
there was none, knelt to be crowned.
The stone is said to be the same
which Jacob used for a pillow when
he had his well known ladder
dream, but this part of the story
need not necessarily be believed.
The throne in the House of Lords
is modeled after the famous old
chair, which latter is kept just behind
the reredos in Westminster
Abbey.

Honolulu will not be the same to
old residents now that David Dayton
has passed away. He was a
gentleman of the old-fashioned type
respected by everyone, and people
returning to the city after an absence
of some years were accustomed
to find most everything
'changed except good old Uncle
THE HONOLULU TIMES
David. Mr. Dayton did a tremendous
amount of good work as a
member and officer of many fraternal
organizations in which he was
a pioneer. This was done without
ostentation and with an extreme deliberation
that occasioned good-natured
comment. He had the kind
heart and bounteous good will that
gave him a special place in the affections
of the younger generation,
who were pleased to honor a member
of the old guard.

May 10. Well, we must call today
"King Manuel's weather";
and finer never blew out of the sky,
so say we all of us. It is indeed a
perfect day. We do hope the cruiser
San Gabriel will be happy in our
port and wish to come again and
often.

Oh, we like Mrs. Taylor, the

"Now please go back there and

The butcher never says: "Take

We like Hall's corner. It is a
delightful corner for the public;

reliable in every possible way. It is
a grand store for the farmer to look

The eatables are at May's and at
Day's. What a mixed multitude of
food to look at! It is something
amazing, from every part of the
civilized world it hails that produce.
It does indeed make one take off
his hat, to see the industry, ingenuity
and device put forth, in
preserving food for consumers displayed
in these big stores. It is a
marvel.
We like to reflect on these talents
of mankind, of the many avenues of '
farm, factory and skill.

At Lewers & Cooke again. Just
look at the locks, bolts, knobs,
nails, etc., and many of them are
things of beauty, exquisite mechanism,
done in steel, brass, copper:

The Planters say they will dispense
with Russia hereafter required
rather too much dispensing.
It must be granted that if they came
from a cold region they kept us all
in hot water, pretty well and often.
They may pan out as citizens
after all and the children will get
on, we believe.
These people all work out a heap
of patience in the Planter, after all ;
for it is brought home to him in
many ways how often totally blind
and uninformed they really are. It
is sometimes truly pitiful, their
obtuse, dense mentality and lack of
comprehension of what is about
them. But when one thinks of the
peasant of Russia for centuries!
It is not hard to fathom these people.
We believe they will work,
once at it. The climate ought to
make them peaceful, after cne year.
