June 27, 1840 The Polynesian, Honolulu, Oahu, Sandwich Islands - Submitted by Shauna Williams  Mitchell, Leonard (colored), aged 102 years, died at his home, Punchbowl street, at 4:45 p. m. yesterday, the cause of death being old age. Mitchell was born in the State of New York, January 30, 1794. When he was about 35 years of age he came to Honolulu on a whaling vessel. After several trips from various foreign ports to Honolulu he decided to remain on the islands, and so gave up life on the ocean wave. Mitchell engaged in different pursuits, turning his hand to anything that happened to come along. As a cook he was unequalled, and aa a waiter he held the same position. Shortly after arrival here he went to Lahaina to live for a while. He was twice married, both times to Hawaiians. By his last wife, who survives him, he had three daughters and a son. One of the girls is now in the insane asylum. In a chat last evening with a gentleman personally acquainted with Mitchell, some interesting facts were gleaned. "What, remember Mitchell? I guess I will not be liable to forget him, when I have run across him constantly for the last fifteen years. Yes, a good fellow that — always polite and affable, and always ready to stop and have a few words just for the sake of old acquaintance. "My, but wasn't he fond of brilliant colors, and wasn't he a dandy! Always wore good clothes and always appeared to have enough money to live comfortably on. His old age made no difference with his clothes, and old Len used to fix up in some very queer looking costtunes toward the end of his career on earth. As a matter of fact, he never looked old. Always carried himself like a soldier, and was a very powerful man in the bargain. "Len's life was not always smooth and unruffled. Back in '80 or '82 be started in to make beer at Lahaina. It was very soon found that this contained more than it should, as subsequent information proved. He was arrested, but got out on payment of the accustomed fine. "Well, I'm surprised the old man has gone. I expected him to live on forever, but it seems that he most needs follow the same path as all the rest of us."

Samuel Samuel Parker Dies Former Prime Minister of Hawaii and Friend of America Passes Away SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—News, of the death in Honolulu of Col. Samuel Parker, one of tho best known Hawaiians and former prime minister of Queen Liliuokalani, was received by cable here Wednesday by' Robert W. Shingle, territorial representative of Hawaii. Col. Parker, bon vivant and courtier of the old Hawaiian monarchy, was widely known throughout the United States, having spent much time in Washington and having attended several Republican national conventions as delegate from Hawaii. His influence In Hawaiian affairs continued even more strongly after the close of the monarchy, and he became a staunch supporter of the American, .government. Four years ago in Washington he was stricken with heart failure, from which he had suffered since. He was 75 years of age. The principal heir of the Parker estate, is Richard Smart, a 6-year-old great grandchild, now being educated in San Francisco, for whom the six-million-dollar famous Parker ranch of the Hawaiian islands is being held In trust. The residue of the estate, valued at millions, will go to five children of Parker, now living in Honolulu. The Smart boy is residing with his grandmother here, Mrs. Elizabeth J.

Feb. 8-Hon, John L. Stevens, ex-minister to Hawaii, died at his home In this city at 4 o'clock this morning of valvular disease of the heart. John L. Stevens was born In Maine 64 years ago and up to the time of his appointment by President Harrison In 1889 as minister to Hawaii he edited a paper at Bangor. When the Hawaiian revolution broke out In January, 1893, and the queen was deposed, Stevens, who was in collusion with the clique of Maine Yankees at Honolulu, asked the late Admiral Wiltes, in command of the Boston, to send a squad of blue coats ashore "to protect American Interests." The only Ameri-can Interests which needed protection there were those of the mischief-makers, headed by Dole, now the president of the so-called Hawaiian republic. The blue coats came and Stevens raised the American flag, under cover of which the con-spirators seized the government and deposed the queen. The flag was very properly lowered by Commissioner Blount, who was sent to Honolulu by President Cleveland, after the true state of affairs had been ascertained. Stevens was re-called and has added to the jingo howl indulged in by Boutelle and other Maine people ever since.
