FORMER QUEEN IS MAKING LEXICON Liliuokalini Compiling Dic tionary to Perpetuate the Hawaiian Language Honolulu, Hawaii, Nov. 10.—When f*> afternoons are sunny In Hono lulu, and when a cool trade wind is blowing up from the ocean, a little woman ip black may be seen seated on one at the broad lanals—verandas —of Washington Place, in busy Bere tania street. She Is a queen without a throne, yet still affectionately ad dressed as "Your Majesty."- This is Lydia Liliuokalanl, last of the long line of monarchs that once ruled the Hawaiian Islands. Per haps, as the years go by, and Lilluo kalani looks forward into the futuie and sees the wonderful possibilities for advancement in trade, industry and education, she feels that, after all, Hawaii made no mistake when it sought, and eventually won, annexa tion by the United States. But Lilluokalani never expresses her opinion. She is before the public but little, and not at all in the public eye. She prefers the quiet and peace of old Washington Place. Occasion ally she goes driving, and only re cently the royal carriage, with its team of fine black horses, was aban doned for a late model automobile bearing the old Hawaiian crest on the tonneau doors. Surrounded by a few close friends and relatives, Her Majesty lives a life of quiet, with her interests cared for by a trust and her household by faithful servants. Liliuokalani was a sister of the late King Kalakaua, familiarly known as the "Merry Monarch," but withal a just and good ruler, who passed away before the islands over which he had ruled became engulfed in a revolu tion. She then ascended to the throne, a woman who is an exrellent type of the race from which she comes. She was a popular queen and was married to an Englishman, a Mr. Domlnis, who passed away many years ago. Spirit of Unrest A spirit of unrest became domi nant in Hawaii several years prior to the outbreak of the Spanish-American War, and a movement was started which resulted In the unseating of Liliuokalani and the final overthrow of t he Hawaiian monarch. During the trouble that followed L>iliuokalani was imprisoned in a little jail in Hotel street, constructed of coral stone, and which is now used by the Federal government for commissary stores. Those familiar with the history of Hawaii's political events of that pe riod recall with Interest the setting up of the Republic of Hawaii, the real outgrowth of the revolution, and the election of the Hon. Sanford Ballard Dole, retired United States judge, as the first president. In the meantime Liiliuokalani's power had waned and the evidences of a monarchy disappeared. The re public flourished, and then those at the head of the government saw the necessity of securing the protection of some lafge foreign power. Annex ation to the United States soon fol lowed, and Hawaii, instead of becom ing a mere possession or protectorate of that country, became a full-fledged territory. There is not now, and never can be, any doubt as to Liliuokaiani's love for and devotion to her people. Trough the long years of strife she remained firm in her loyalty to the monarchy, and her struggle against those who sought to undermine the throne was one which only a devoted ruler might wage. But the odds against her were great.

Liliuokalanl has traveled exten sively, speaks excellent English, 1s the author of several books that are widely read, and the composer of a number of songs, Including the fam ous "Aloha Oo" Sh la a lovo- of music, and hardly a recital of note in Honolulu is not graced by her pres- Once each week she is serenaded by the Royal Hawaiian Band, and every two years, when the Hawaiian Legislature meets, the members set aside one morning on which they pay their respects to Her Majesty, many of the members kissing her hand, a reminder of the d?ys when the hall now used for legislative sessiotis was the magnificent throneroom. It Is not difficult for tourists to gain an audience with liilluokalani, as she delights in conversation. She receives practically all visitors af Liliuokalanl has for some time past been at work on the compilation of a Hawaiian dictionary, which will be the most complete volume of its kind in existence, and a work which un doubtedly will do much toward the perpetuation of the Hawaiian lan guage. In this book are to be put not only those words irsed in every day conversation, but hundreds of ancient words which, with meanings, have been long forgotten bv all except the more venerable Ha wailans. It is In hunting out these words and arriving at their true meaning that Liliuokalani is devot ing much of her time at present. MIDYEAR CON IT.UENCK Loysville, Pa..
