DIED.

BAILEY-At his home, Punahou, Honolulu,  at 7 o'clock p. m., October 1, 1903.  David Truman Bailey, a native of Peacham, Caledonia County, Vermont, aged 67 years.   He had been ill for a long time and for the past ten months had been almost continuously confined to the house.  His trouble was liver complaint ending in dropsy.  A widow and three children, a boy and two girls, the oldest about eight years of age, survive him.  The funeral will take place from his late residence, Alexander and Dole streets, at 4 o'clock this afternoon, October 2. It will be under the auspices of Harmony Lodge, No. 3, I. O. O. F., of which the deceased was a member for fifteen years.  At his own request the interment will be in the family lot purchased in Makiki cemetery, instead of the Odd Fellow's plot in Nuuanu cemetery.  .Mr. Bailey was a schoolmate of United States Marshal E. R. Hendry.  He came to the Islands twenty-two years ago, and was first employed as manager of the Woodlawn Dairy owned by B. F. Dillingham. About fifteen years ago, he bought from Major Hills the business and goodwill of the Tahiti Lemonade Works, including the recipe for the Major's famous lemonade.  After operating the aerated waters manufactory for some years, Mr. Bailey was instrumental in ending a rather fierce soda water war by means of an amalgamation of Hollister's, his own and other works.  The resultant corporation was the consolidated Soda Water Works, Ltd., of which Mr. Bailey was appointed  the manager.  This position he resigned the later part of February, 1902, under compulsion of failing health.  Becoming recuperated by rest he took the management, on November 12, of the same year, of the Star Soda Water Co., which he held until his death.  Nine or ten years ago Mr. Bailey married Miss Hattie Lewis, one of the heirs of the Lewis estate lately partitioned.  Besides his wife and three children, he leaves a brother and sister in Vermont-Nelson Bailey and Mrs. William Shaw.
