THE LATE PRINCE
In an Extra iw.u-.- J on Tuesday morning lost
we announcfHl the i-i ctent of the dcceae of
His Royal llighneto William I'itt' LtLKioHotr
Kalahooi.ewa, Brother of His Majcety the King
and Heir Arrdrent to the Throne, which
occurred at 20 minutes before 1 o'clock on
that morning. The " untimely taking o3 " ofl
this young Prince, recently so full of life and
promise, has cant a deep gloom over the Royal
Family, and elicits the warmest sympathy of
all cLiaure. both Datircs and foreieners. The
Prince had been ill with rheumatic fever for
some weeks, and under medical treatment wa
considered on Monday to be out of danger, but
unexpectedly to all the grim messenger came
At eunrUe the discharge of minute guns from
the battery on Punchbowl announced the ead
news to an astonished city. During the fore
noon, minute guns were fired from H. 15. M.'e
S. Fantomt. lvintr in the harbor, diaplayins the
Hawaiian colors at half-mast at the fore.
His Royal Highness was the eon of the high
Chiefs C. Kapaakea and A. Keohokalolc (the
'parents of the present Royal Family) and was
of the funeral of KingKamehamdiali7 Irom
which circumstance he derived one of bis namet-
Kalahoolewa. In infancy he was adopted
after the custom of the Chiefs, by Her Highness
Rutb Keelikolani, tister of King Kamehameha
V., who lias ever regarded him as her own
child, and whose grief for his loss is poignant
He waB educated at St. Allan's College on this
J inland, where he proved himself an apt scholar
After leaving school he for some time fulfilled
with zeal and ability the duties of a clerk in
the department of Foreign Affairs, and cn the
accession of His Jlajesty was appointed and
proclaimed Heir Apparent to the Throne
On the King's departure for the United States
3m rsovember, 1874, be was appointed Prince
iRegent, the duties of which responsible office

methodical and careful in business matters, and
in social life a polished gentleman. Well may
it be said that in his early death the Hawaiian
nation has suffered a grievous loss. But in the
language of Byron,

And many deaths do they escape by this:

THE HEIR APPARENT.
On Wednesday last at one o'clock P. II.,
fj proclamation was made, under a Royal Salute)
I from the guns of Punchbowl, of the appoirit-l
Jment of Her Royal Highness the Princess Lyda

This appointment the prompt announcement
of which must meet with the unqualified ap?

that the successor to the Throne elected by thei
Legislature (as was his present Majesty in
1874) " shall become a new stirps for a Royal

the bodv of tho reieninz Sovereign, then "thej
successor shall be the person whom the Sover

Nobles, and publicly proclaim as such during
the King's life.' The proclamation (which
appears in another column under the official

! Chapter LIX of the Tcnal Code of the Hawai
ian Kingdom provides for the public health of
the nation. The First Section of this chapter
sanctions the appointment "by the King in privy
council, upon the nomination of the minister of
the interior, .of a Board of Health for the King'
dom, consisting of three persons, who shall serve
during the King's pleasure, aad he .charged with
the general oversight and care of the public
health." In accordance with the foregoing leg
islation, the Board of Health of this Kingdom,
at present constituted, is formed of tbe lollow-

Smitli is its President, and His Excellency A. S.
Hartwell, the Honorable S. G. Wilder, Dr. R.
McKibbin aad Dr. F. B. Hutchinson are the
members of the Board. The duties which
d.eyolve upon those gentlemen are multifarious.
It euniGes for our present purpose to point out
tv.- f.l.ii-i f :iinfl which their office im-
eposes upon them.
J The Fourth Section of Chapter LIX of the
J Penal Code requires that " The Board of Health

ing one hundred dollars." Now, it seems to
us that sufficient authority is hereby placed in
the hands of the Board of Health, to order a
general inspection by one of their health agents
or other duly authorised person, of the closets
r,r r,;a rtv n,1. in rase of the condition of

to warrant the apprehension of their being a
" cause of sicknese" to the community, that
the Board has powers to oblige their owners
to remove their contents, according to the pro
visions of the code. We quote these autuor
itie and make these remarks, because we be
lieve that an impression seems to prevail here
that some special legislation is requisite, in
order to enforce the cleaning out of the closets"
of the households of the city. We are of opinion
that the Board of Health is at present sufficient-

Without anticipating their official report, weJ
believe we are correct in stating that in every
other respect, th.8 Royal Commissioners were veryfj
favorably impressed with the-natural rfsourcps
of tbe two islands in question, and that many
advantageous circumstances struck them which
have escaped ordinary observers, the result, veryfjj
naturally, of the exceptional nature of theirjj
inspection. But, at every step of their progress, ti

depopulated," because, as the Commissioners
are well aware, the decrease in the native Ha
waiian population, estimated by Captain Cook at
400,000 souls, has been eo great as to warrant
the apprehension of the total extinction of this
race. It is true, of late the births among the
natives are abouk. equal to the deaths in some
localities. Now, as we are discussing the sub-
