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

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

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

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. C., and has
a "free continental trade" bill which will
| bo introduced in Congress, which Sena
tor "Joe" Blackburn, of Kentucky, is
said to have promised to support.
Mrs. Beard, is the wife of Colonel
Beard, of Montana. She is about forty
live years old, a native of Havana, and a
daughter of Joaquin A. Velasquez, a
General in the Mexican army. 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

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.

in Paris, France, is to lie a massive white
etone building containing 145 ofiices and
two large assembly halls. The offices
will be used as employment agencies by
the various trades and will also be head

The Drop of Bullets.
A ball lias a largo drop when traveling
any great distance. For instance, take
1,000 yards. The bullet, if keeping the
course it originally started out to follow,
would land a distance of over 225 feet
above the bull's eye. But it starts to drop
immediately after leaving the muzzle of
the gun, and at between 550 and 000
yards the ball is over sixty feet above the
lino of the bull's eve and a considerable
distance below the line of sight. At 200
yards it has decreased in proportion and
the aim is only forty inches above the
bull's eye, but at 500 yards it is over
sixteen feet.—[San Francisco Examiner.

TOLEDO, 0., Jan. 10, 1887.
Messrs. F.J.Cheney & Co.—Gentlemen:—l
have been in the general practice of medicine
for most 40 years, and would say that In all
my practice and experience havo never seen a
preparation that 1 could prescribe with as
much confidence of success as 1 can Hall's Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured bv you. 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,
