THAT OLD KAMAAINA PASSED AWAY.

At his residence on Liliha Street, on the afternoon of this past Tuesday, Lehuanui K. Paleioholani grew weary of this life, one of the old kamaaina of this town, at seventy-two years old.

On Wednesday afternoon his funeral was held, and his body was carried to be put to rest at the cemetery in the uplands of Puea.

Paleioholani was born in Hilo, Hawaii, on the 11th of the month of February, 1844, whereupon he witnessed the five kings who ascended to the throne of Hawaii nei, and the one queen; and he also saw the waving of the starred flag of the nation that is now governing his land of birth.

Mrs. John K. Notley is his living daughter, and the remaining descendant by that name Paleioholani.

Being that Paleioholani was a member of a number of Hawaiian associations, the members of those associations came to march along in his great procession.

[This is none other than the great historian, S. L. Peleioholani.]

NEW HAWAIIAN SOCIETY FORMED

“Love your neighbor as yourself and let the old and young go unmolested on the highway,” is the motto of a new society to be known as the Daughters and Sons of Hawaiian Warriors, which has just filed its papers with the registrar of public accounts.

Those who have signed as charter members are Alice K. Macfarlane, Martha Dowsett, Eugenia K. Reis, Annie Conradt, and Mauriel Shingle [Muriel Campbell Shingle].

The oath of the society is as follows: “In consideration of the sacred rights of our ancestors every member must bear in mind, uphold and cherish all the rights of the society.”

All members are requested to collect old Hawaiian war relics, such as laumeki or javelin, the pahoa or dagger, the laau palua [laau palau] or war club, the pololu or war spear, the laau kaa or baton of a drum major, the maa or sling and the ikoi or mystery stone which hung over doorways and struck dead all enemies who attempted to enter a house protected by it. In addition the members must collect kahilis or feather standards, helmets, leis, talismans and pieces of ancient kapa cloth.

The society emblem is the coat of arms of Lani-Alii Okinapauokalani, with all her sacred rights.
