The Queen Was Mad

The ínter Ocean tells the following story of Liliuokalani, the deposed queen of the Hawaiian Islands. On her way from San Francisco to Chicago she feil in with a party of Hawaiian students who belong to the annexation party, and henee were unfriendly to the dusky queen. A prominent U. of M. student was among the number. When the train bearing the one time ruler and her party, left San Francisco, it also had on board a party of Hawaiian youths and maidens, who are on their way to enter various universities in theeast. They were: A. L. C. Atkinson, goingto Ann Arbor; Arthur A. Wilder, who will take post gradúate work in lawatYale; Misse Ivy and Mattie Richardson and Miss Alice Jones, who wiil study at Bryn Mawr.
