After suffering illness for some time, Mrs. Wakeke Ululani grew weary of this life at six o’clock in the evening of this past Monday at her home at 13th Avenue in Kaimuki, at the age of eighty or more of this life.
Mrs. Wakeke Ululani was born on Maui, but for thirty years she was constantly with Queen Liliuokalani from the Queen’s youth until the passing of Liliu.
In the last days of the Queen’s life, Mrs. Heleluhe was constantly in her presence watching over her charge, just as when Liliu was queen of Hawaii nei, and all the places the queen went, she went there as well.
Once when the Queen traveled to Washington, Mrs. Heleluhe accompanied her.
Mrs. Wakeke Heleluhe was a member of the Kaahumanu Society. Her husband Joe Heleluhe, who served as Queen Liliuokalani’s secretary during the monarchy, passed on a long time ago.
A son and a daughter remain from the two of them. The son, Jack Heleluhe, is a singer in America; and when the ship Hawkeye State arrived in Honolulu nei some weeks ago, he was one who was aboard that steamship, on his was to Baltimore.
As for the daughter, Mrs. Myra Iona, she was one of the women in the presence of Queen Liliuokalani while she was alive, and she accompanied the Queen twice to Washington.
Her funeral was held at 3:30 in the afternoon of this Tuesday, from Williams’ mortuary and her remains were laid to rest at Kamoiliili cemetery.
Because St. Louis School has been standing for fifty years, the school will hold some jubilee events from this coming Tuesday, the 6th of this month to the 12th of June.
This past Saturday made forty-nine years of the standing of this school, because it was established on the 3rd of September, 1883.
From within the number of those who established the St. Louis School, who arrived in Honolulu, only one remains, that being Francis Marx, the teacher of the St. Louis Band. The rest have gone on to the other world.

Birthday of a beloved child.–This past Monday, the 2nd of September, was the birthday of one of our royal youths, Mrs. Lilia K. Dominis; and some of us were summoned to the commemorative party at Hamohamo. Some military officers and some members of the Legislature arrived, and they ate and drank, and left the one whose birthday it was with a good name that they left her and with fervent wishes that her days be extended.

Good works–“By their works, they shall be known,” according to the Good Book. Some women have gotten together under the direction of Queen Kaleleonalani, as a Sewing Association; and all of the money they make will go to helping the poor and sick. They do not have sewing machines, but they only sew each and every line by hand.

Baptized.–This past Tuesday, the young daughter of the Lord Bishop [Staley] of Honolulu was baptized at the church at Peleula. The god parents of the child are the King, Queen Emma, Captain Hanham [Kapena Hanamu], and his wife; Miss Edith Staley; and the Governess of Hawaii [Keelikolani]. Because Queen Emma was travelling, her part was assumed by the wife of the British Commissioner, Mrs. Synge. The Lord Chamberlain D. Kalakaua, Penekaraka [Prendergast], W. P. Kamakau, and W. Makalena attended in their finery. The King, through the Lord Chamberlain gave the child the name Kaholomoana. The reason she was given that name, because she was born at the exact time the Queen boarded the ship to go on her trip to Britain. There was a large crowd gathered there, and among them we saw His Excellency the Minister of the Interior [Hutchison], and Lord Chancellor E. H. Allen. The Bishop himself baptized the young child.
