All columns on page 2 are black-bordered for the death of Mrs. C. R. Bishop. She was of the royal family of the Kingdom of Hawaii and a well-known philanthropist. At her death, her estate was the largest private landownership in the Hawaiian Islands, comprising approximately 9% of Hawaii's total area.
