A CRAFTY KING. INSIDE FACTS OF THE DUAL LIFE OF KALAKAUA. His Great Ambition to Restore the Government of His Fathers in Hawaii—The Famous Board of Genealogy. The late King David Kalakaua was an alii or high chief of the Hawaiian islands. His ancestors, once powerful in their own districts, had been completely overshadowed by Kamehamcha and his followers, and he inherited little beyond the pride of birth and a capacity for ani mal enjoyment for which his family had been noted for ages, according to Ha waiian tradition. It never once entered into his head that one day he should be called upon to rule the kingdom created bv the genius of Kamehameha, and con solidated by the patriotism and talents of his descendants. If such a dream had ever been presented to Kalakaua's brain it might have modified his character and awakened his ambition at an earlier 1 period. But as it was he simply lived j to enjoy life in an undignified way until! his own and his wife's patrimony had been dissipated. Even when the light ning of a purchased legislature struck him and he began to rule the kingdom "by the grace of God," his credit did not rapidly improve, and he was driven to a great many ingenious shifts to grat ify his appetites and keep up appear ances. the day of his death, during every vicissitude of chance and fortune, David Kalakaua was a Hawaiian chief, living preferably as close to the old life of his people as was possible under the fierce puntanism of the missionary fathers and their descendants. After ascending the throne he took special pains to appear as a refined aud patriotic ruler. His for eign travel, which gave hiin a fair shine of outside polish, was undertaken in a measure to this end, and to inform him self of the methods of foreign rulers that he might make conforts generally to the surface requirements of his exalted sta tion, while secretly indulging his tastes according to the usages of his fathers. The ancient Hawaiian chiefs were priests as well as kings; Their will was absolute in all things. They had the power of divination, could read omens and forecast the future far more accur ately than was common among profes sional soothsayers and prophets, for the reason that they had the power of life and death, of war and peace, of misery and prosperity, in their own hands. When a prophet is able to verify his pre diction he has an immense advantage over one who has to take chances on its fulfillment. Hence it happened that the ftliis of the olden time, when tliey sacri ficed and read the omens, seldom re ceived a lying message from the gods. The common people stood in awe of them. To cross their shadow was death; touch tlicir sacred persons was death by torture. The life of a kanaka was the most hopeless and miserable slavery. The common people were living under a system of kapu or taboo which rendered existence a daily and nightly terror for fear of its breach. They had no proper- | ty and no rights, not even the right of existence. Life was at the discretion of the chief who was nearly always crafty, ' cruel and sensual. The family from which Kalakaua was descended was noted among the Hawai ians for the possession, in an exaggerated form, of the vices and cruelties of the tribal nobility. If Kalakaua inherited these faults, the opportunity was wanting for their exercise. Jyupu was a thing of the past. Slavery had been abolished. The common people were endowed with lands. Forced service was no longer ex acted by the chiefs, and the King, the supreme ruler, was no more sacreu than his servant in the cyo of the law; while the old gods had been abandoned and a new theology imposed upon the people by the superior intelligence ol foreigners who had come to stay. David Kalakaua secretly surrounded himself with kahunas, or prophets, who taught him the traditions of olden times, and established what might be styled a school for prophets, lie entered into this study with great earnestness, and soon became one of the most potent and prolicient among them, lie was specially absorbed by the idea that he was destined to restore the ancient ways, and yet while secretly practicing heathen rites and encouraging debasing superstition, he was posing in the eyes of tne world as a civdized ruler and a shining exam ple of the iullucncc of Christianity. From the Christian sacrament at the altar in the Episcopal Cathedral to the heathen ceremonial in the privacy of the palace was said not to be an unusual change of scene in the dual life of this remarkable man. As far as possible kapu was enforced, and as instances of his power as a kahuna became noised abroad the kanakas began to fear him. In this way his influence of the malign kind gradually extended. One of his first public measures to carry out his policy was to establish what he styled the Board of Genealogy of Hawai ian Chiefs, presided over by his favorite sister-in-law, who was heart and soul in sympathy with him in his reactionary j plans, which she hoped would rid them | of the foreigners. The officers of this society were natives, and mostly females, for it is a rema knble fact that the Hawaiian women fell most readily into his plans and methods. Tne Board of Genealogy was supported by public money, but it never accom plished anything noteworthy except a sup posed identification of a chief's bones by the aid of a divining pig, which appears to have been a sacred animal of superior in telligence and held in high esteem by the king and his superstitious associates. Indeed, a bluck pig figured prominently in this school of divination, and probably was entitled to quite as much respect as the human beings who used it for such a purpose. The Board of Genealogy was followed by the founding of a mystic order, called the Kilo-Kilo Society, of which Kala kaua was the sacred chief. This society was the outcome of his own brain, aided by an old adventurer from the coast, whose occupation of peddling lottery tickets had been rendered unprofitable by police vigilance in San Francisco, and who pretended to have discovered the statutes of Kilo-Kilo in ancient Hebrew records, several million years be fore the flood, if not, indeed, prior to the creation itself. Night after night Joseph Rosenberg read and translated this apochryphal Hebrew lore to Kalft baua, and day after day Joseph became sleeker and happier, while his royal dupe threw off all disguise and prepared to play the role of the Emperor .Julian on a small scale. In other words, he thought the time had come when lie could restore the ancient customs if not the ancieut won hip of his race. The Kilo-Kilo was organized and in corporated as a benevolent society. Of ficers were appointed and members en rolled, and for several weeks the palace was the scene of nightly orgies, while the flag or symbol ol' the ordgr was llyiug from the tower. Kalakaua had prepared a treatise showing its antiquity as prac ticed by Hawaiian chiefs about 97.000 years before the Christian era. These proceedings weresoou known throughout the islands. An uneasy feeling disturbed the foreigners, while a spirit of unrest i and expectation of some great change took possession of the natives. The hula was revived. Feasting and dissipation, music and dancing went on without ceasing within the palace, the gates of which were closed to foreigners loopholed and fortified and guarded by soldiers. The death of the King's sister, Princess bikelike, about this time, added to the feeling of exasperation with which the foreigners in Honolulu viewed these proceedings, because it was notorious that she indignantly refused to join or countenance the Kilo-Kilo, and expressed her preference for her foreign friends and entire sympathy with Christian teaching and doctrine. Her death was attributed to the kahunas , who inti mated that one of the royal family must die to propitiate Pele and stop the lava flow from Mauna Loa. She died, rumor had it, as the sacrifice to Pele, and the lava flow stopped. Certain it is that her death was at once a shock aud surprise, and had its influence upon the revolu tionary movement, which shortly after abolished the Hoard of Genealogy, trampled upon the Kilo-Ivilo, whipped Kalakaua into constitutional traces and destroyed forever his ambition to restore the ancient faith, customs aud traditions of the Hawaiian race. That such an idea should have been seriously entertained by any man in Ha waii at the present day would have been remarkable enough; but that a man of Kalakaua's education, intelligence and experience should have acted upon it in the later years of his life, and at the very pinnacle of success, is one of these ano malies which cannot be explained or understood.—[San Francisco Examiner. The Sharks of Galveston. 1 'The people of Galveston hate sharks more than poison, and you would think so, too, if you saw the numerous logs of wood bobbing up and down in the - bay there," said Hubert E. James, a hard ware merchant from the Texas metro polis, at the Palmer House yesterday. "The sharks in the bay of Galveston are about three feet long," continued Mr. James, "and spoils the good fishing, or what would be good fishing, by eating or scaring to death about all the fish in the bay. This so provokes the fishermen that they go out in parties and catch all the sharks they can. They never kill one immediately, but bore a hole through the upper fin of each one and with a piece of rope about three feet long tie Mr. Shark to a log of wood heavy enough to keep him from going far from the surface of the water. The unwelcome occupant of the bay is kept a prisoner until he becomes so hun gry he turns his stomach skyward. The fish in that way is tortured to death, and it is hoped the others members of the tribe will take warning and give the Kay of Galveston a wide berth. No, the Hu mane Society doesn't disturb itself about the slow death that is dealt out to the sharks. Everybody takes part in the good work. I have seen at one time as mtiny as forty logs being dragged around by the captives. Some of the bobbers were tearing over the bay at a terrific rate, while others would scarcely move, so near death were they. As soon as a shark dies the corpse is relieved of its log and rope, which are used to torture another intruder.—[Chicago Tribune. Live Stock Trade for 1890. The statistics of the New York City Live Stock Trade for 1890 have been pub lished and contain some items of interest to farmers and stock owners throughout the country. A larger number of beeves, cows and calves were sold than in any other year since 1800, from which date careful records of sales have been kept. The prices obtained for beef were slight ly in advauce of those received the pre ceding year. The tolal number of beeves received was G88,015, an average of 13,- 231 per week, of which about 8,000 per week were dressed here and some 5,000 carcasses were sent from Chicago. The estimated average price of beeves, live weight, was $4.41 per hundred pounds. The average number of cows per week was '2OO, and of calves 5,583. Not quite as many sheep and lambs were received as in ihe year before, the average per week for 1810 being 35,183, but prices were slightly improved. The number of hogs sold was greater thau in any recent year—averaging 40,747 ier week—but prices were considerably lower than they were in I*B9. There arc, however, indi cations of a marked and speedy improve ment in this branch of the live stock business. The foreign trade in beef has been nearly one-fourth larger than it was in 1889, but it is the general verdict of exporters that it has been unprofitable. It seems highly probable thai the export ation of live stock for beef will be largely superseded by the shipment of dressed meat in refrigerator compartments of the fast ocean steamers.—[American Dairy man. Chinese Music. The musical art of a people who rep resent one-fifth of the earth's population ought to be studied; if not for the sake of esthetic pleasure, at least in the inter est of scientific knowledge. Yet there is scarcely a department in the history or philosophy of music concerning which the information to be found in the books is so unsatisfactory as that of Chinese music. Even u historian of the thor oughness and profundity of Ambros, after devoting many pages to an attempt to elucidate the Chinese theory, seems willing to believe the fir t traveler who j sets down the modern practice as noth ing but crude, barbaric, unregulated noise. Crude, barbaric, and noisy Chinese music certainly is, but not un regulated. Even the little music which can be beard on any holiday in the Chinese quarter of New York will serve to disclose to a discriminating ear that it is nothing if not methodical. The difficulty on the port of the historians has been that they have never come in contact with the t hinese, and therefore have had to depend on the descriptions of travelers and missionaiics toucliiug the practical side of the art. Correctly to apprehend mu-ic. however, requires special qualifications of education and natural gifts, and these have been pos sessed by so sir.nl a minority of those who have written about China that they are scarcely worth enumerating.—[Cen tury. Now Found Dwarfsr. Mr. Crampel, the French explorer, has sent home a brief disciiption of the dwarfs lie has discovered m the central regions of the Ficuch Congo north of the Ogotne River. This region is confide?ably east of the district where Paul Du Chaitlu discovered the Obo ngo d wft i f. Tbe d war fs C ram - pel has found PIC called the Bay ay as. They are not, however, r so little as the pigmies discovered by Schweinfurth and Stanley near the northern headwaters of the Congo. Their mean height, judging from the specimens Crampel was able to measure, is about 4.V feet. They are heavy and dumpy, and thus differ from other African dwarfs, who are usually rather slender. They are re markable for heavy eyebrows, which are very thick and unite. Their noses are long and rather Hebraic in shape. Their necks are short, almost resting on the shoulders. They have big abdomens, large wrists, strong arms, and bandy legs. They are very timid, and their habitual expression in the presence of the explorer was that of fear. Their curiosity, however, is great, and Cram pel says that when he was in their pres ence they never took their eyes off him. A BEAR IN A MINE. A Hibernating Grizzly At'acks Four Men—Fierce Contest in the Dark. The common belief that a hibernating bear is too stupid aud sleepy to be dan gerous is not shared by Foreman John Neil and three other men employed in the Santa Maria mine at Sonora, Cal. Neil and his crew went into an aban doned crosscut from the tunnel to clean it out preparatory to pushing it ahead to strike a vein that had been cut on anoth er level. Climbing over some fallen rock and timber, they awoke a big bear that had made a comfortable winter den in the drift. The bear was full of fire and fight. He did not sit upon his haunches and growl at the miners after the fashion of story-book bears, but charged head first with such suddenness that no one had time to get out of his way or do any of the smart things that the regulation bear stories prescribe. Neil's best recollection of the begin- 1 ning of the rumpus is that at the first jump the bear knocked two or three of the party down, and that all but one of the candles went out. One burned for a few moments lying upon the ground, giving light enough tq reveal a badly mixed mess of men aud bear. Dough erty, one of the miners, was lying sense less and covered with blood. The bear had struck him on the head in the first onslaught, and torn off the biggest part of his scalp. When Neil scrambled to bis feet the boar was between him and the mouth of the drift, and the two other miners were j striking at the beast with their picks. Neil attacked bruin in the rear and tried to drive the point of a pick into his spine, but missed by an inch, and in flicted only a flesh wound. The bear wheeled instantly, roaring savagely, and struck at Neil, but failed to reach him. Iu jumping back to avoid the blow Neil stepped upon the solitary sputtering caudle and put out the light, aud the rest of the battle was fought in the dark. The light became a mixture of growls and howls from the bear, thuds of the picks, and cries of pain aud warning from men. Whenever a man thought the bear was within reach he struck as hard as he could with his pick. Some times the blow landed and sometimes it didn't. Whenever the bear heard a man move he rushed in that directiou, and lie charged about to such good effect that the men concluded that he could see to some degree iu the darkness. He fre quently struck them with his claws, but the assaults upon him were so continu ous that lie never had time to pay exclu sive attention to one adversary. The fight lasted about an hour as nearly as the men could guess at tho time, and was ended by a lucky blow of a pick upon the spine at the base of tho bear's brain. The lively old bear was a grizzly and weighed 900 pounds. -[New York Sun. A Business Woman, Indeed. Mrs. Lorrata J. Beard, of Montana, who has a Mexican Government conces sion for a railroad 202 miles long from Tucson, Ari., to Lobos, Mexico, showed to a World reporter in her office, at 401 Broadway, papers which indicate her heavy interest in various other enter prises. She is negotiating with capital ists of Munich, Bavaria, to develop an onyx quarry in Arizona. She lias placed on the London Exchange six silver mines located in Arizona and Mexico which be longed to the late G. L. Morse. She is interested in a scheme for the develop ment of Lower California and for the raising of coffee on land there, when it is made possible to ship the product by railroad connections; she has a concession from the government of Honduras for a canal from Truxillo Bay to the Bio Agauni, to open up the United States market for tropical fruits and precious metals; she holds a Mexican concession for a steamship line from the Gulf of California to Vancouver, B.

She owns estates in Central America aggregating 24,000 acres, along with railway and steamship and mining interests, and attends closely to business, though she manages to find time for home life and to care attentively for a three-year-old son, of whom she is very fond.—[New York World. The Cats Knew His Fish horn. There is a fish vender in Bridgeport, Conn., whose horn is recognized by all the cats in the neighborhood when he takes his stand. Some of the cats, in deed, seem to know when Friday morn ing arrives, for on that morning, long before the vender appears, they may be seen loitering near the fish stand. "When he appears," says the Standard, "the cats express their joy by jumping about playfully projecting their backs upward, or with prolonged 'meaows.' When the ■ vender's team proceeds up the street, like the 'Pied Piper' of old, the cats fol ! low in a line, marching slowly after the i team until it reaches the end of that thoroughfare. Then the animals turn backward and return to their resncctive homes. The performance is an interest ing one to witness, and many residents [ of that locality say they enjoy the si"-ht | week after week." The vender gives ■ them a liberal supply of fish heads.

Have pre scribed it a great many times and its effect Is wonderful, and would say in conclusion that 1 have yet to find a case of Catarrh that it would not cure, if they would take it accord ing to direction*. Yours truly, L. L. Gonsuca, M. D., Office, 21".Summit St. We will give SIOO for any case of Catarrh that cannot be cured with Ball's Catarrh Cure. Taken internally. F. J.

They have bad blood, pim ples, blotches, eruptions, and other kin dred disfigurements. All these annoy ing tilings could be entirely eradicated, and the skin restored to "lily white ness," if that world-famed remedy, Dr. Tierce's Golden MedTcal Discovery, were given a fair trial. It cures all humors, from the ordi nary blotch, pimple or eruption to the worst scrofula, or the most inveterate blood-taints, no matter what their na ture, or whether they be inherited ed, Clonuses the Head, DCAT&RIBM j Heals the bores and Cures KCQi D 1 GATARRH.fHKf : Restore* Taste and Smell, fjulelc | Headache.
