ROYALTY at Honolulu.

The present king, halakaua-meaning
Day Of Battles not Of Kamehameha de-
scent, but was elected TO the throne In
default of an heir apparent, none having
been named by the sovereign. He is not
q man who commands the respect OF the
better classes of the people on his islands.
He is much more al home with his native
singers and dancers at Kailua than in
managing and conducting governmental
affairs at Honolulu. In June last year his
actions became so intolerable that the lead
ing citizens OF Honolulu inaugurated q
bloodless revolution, forcing the lidg to
dismiss his entire cabinet and appoint
citizens whom they named, and also to
sign a new constitution virtually modelled
upon that Of the United States.
The queen is Of good demeanor and
possesses more or less dignity. They
have 10 children, and the heir apparent is
Mrs. J. O. Dominis. wife Of the governor
Of the island. She IS the kings sister.
Her husband is white, color not counting
for much i'll that country.-Charles Il.
Wetmore in Detroit Free Press.

bureau and Trunk in One.

What is the latest novelty in the
trunk business was asked by a reporter
of q well known dealer il that line Of
goods a few days ago.
The very latest thing, | believe, is
called the bureau trunk, and is made es-
~pecially for the use Of ladies going to the
country or seashore, where the accommo-
dations are likely to be more or less
cramped in the matter of room. think
1t about the neatest thing Of the kind
ever put on the market. and, to use a
hackneyed expression, fills a long felt
want for those who are practically forced
to live III a trunk for three months in
in the wear"
The dealer then drew from under the
counter a large rectangular shaped trunk.
1t was thirty six inches long and Of pro-
portionate depth and width, with a fiat
top, and was covered completely with
LIGHT colOrcd leather with silver clasps
and mccntiugs. Although of large size,
the trunk was unusually light in weight
and was easily handled, while the central
bands which surrounded ii were j sdtii-
cient guarantee Of It's stability.
Bat il was on the inside of the affair
that the popularity which gives it the
name of bureau" was diclosed and was
made apparent at once when the lid was
raised. In the tid were W shallow but
good sized drawe.s for the reception Of
the more delicate articles of vomen's APP
parel, while above these was 4 deeper
drawer with compartments for hats and
bonnets. The body of the trunk was spa.
cious and capable of holding Il large guam
tity OF dresses, etc, when closely packed.

Scottish Pipers in New York.

Last year Mir. Carnegie, determining to
identity himself with the customs Of the
country, engaged q piper, who, having
played the guests ont of bed, discussed
to them i'll the day and played them into
dinner in the evening. This musician was
taken to New York, where he sstonished
the natives by many a feat of musical
gymnastics. Other ~millionaires, not to
be outdone. ordered out pipers, until they
are now quite fashionable in New Yorx

A Steamer Sunk.

New YORK, Oct. 23.-The steamer
Atlas of the Atlas line, bound from Port
Lemon, having left that port on the 3rd
inst. was sunk this morning off Vesey
street. The steamer was struck on the
starboard bow by the ferry boat Central
and ten minutes later the Atlas sank, and
the only thing to be seen of the sunken
vessel are her top masts and tunnels.
The Atlas was coming up the river at
low speed. There was a fog at the time,
and when the steamer was about 500
yards out from the docks the bow of the
Central crashed into the Atlas and bent
her iron plates like so many pieces of
board. For a second or two the Atlas
trembled and listed and then began to
sink bow first, and very soon her propel-
lor was out of the water.
When the collision occurred all hands
on board the Atlas were ordered on deck.
The engineer obeyed the summons with
out stopping the engine. so hat her pro-
peller whirled round and round in the air.
In this position the steamer remained for
about five minutes, when the vessel then
plunged forward and went down, appar-
emily settling on an easy keel. As the
steamer began to sink the crew and all
hands took to the rigging, Just at this
juncture a tug boat steamed alongside,
and took off all on board.

End of the Jute Bagg1ng Trust.

CHARLESTON. S. c., Oct. 23.-Among
the cotton received here to-day was one
lot of fifteen bales from Cheraw, S. c.,
which was covered in bagging made from
pine straw. The entire lot was quickly
disposed of and readily accepted by the
exporters. This practically solves the
bagging puzzle and put a quietus on all
the hopes of the lutte bagging trust. The
chamber of commerce of this place some
weeks ago subjected the pine fiber bag
ging to a severe test. and at once pro-
nounced it merchantable. The fifteen
bales were shipped to Europe. The
adaptabllity of the bagging to the cover
ing of cotton will result in a wonderful
revolution in the South. 1t is made of
the needles of leaves of the pine, which
is the natural growth of the Southern
forests.
These needles can be made into cotton
bagging at a cost which is bound to run
lutte bagging out of the United States. The
green needles, it is claimed, yield oil
enough to pay the cost of their treatment.
1t is probable that by next spring over
one hundred factories for the manutac-
ture of pine straw bagging and mating
will be in operation between Raleigh, N.
C., and New Orleans.

-Four Mysterious Murders

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Oct. 23.-The peo-
pie of Tuscaloosa, a small town ffty-six
miles southwest Of this city, are excited
by the mysterious murder of four negroes
within ten days. The first victim was
John Hill, a respected negro mechanic,
who was supposed to have been murdered
for his money. His dead body was found
on the street one morning, with the throat
cut and fifteen knife wounds in the body.
Last Monday the body of an unknown
negro was found in the woods a few miles
from town, and Friday the body of the
third victim was found in the river near
by, the Threats of both having been cut
from ear to ear. This morning the BODY
OF the fourth victim was found in the
woods near town. The officers have so
far been unable to obtain any clue to the
perpetrators of the crimes. The body
found this morning has not yet been
identified. All the victims had their
threats cut. With the exception of the
first one, the bodies showed no other
marks of violence. The colored people of
the town have become greatly frightened
by these crimes.

Freight Robbers.

EA$LE Pass, Texas. Oct. ga
wholesale system of freight robbery has
been discovered on the Mexican Central
railroad. 1t is believed that the loss to
the company will be in the neighborhood
OF $4,000. At Gayna Juanato there are
three conductors and one brakeman in
jail, where they were placed Yesterday.
and a former agent OF the company named
Smith, at Jimutoo. has also been ar
rested. They are all Americans accused
Of defrauding the company, and develop
ments are already IN progress showing
that an extensive system of stealing has
been carried on for the past two years,
and by its exposure twenty or thirty more
employees will likely be arrested.

Horrors of Mormon1sm.

New York, Oct. 23.-This was the
last day of the convention of the Women
Christian Temperance Union. The first
session was chiefly devoted to the reports
of organizers. Mrs. Mary B. Peese
spoke of the temperance cause among
Indians in the territories.
The feature of the day among the
speeches was an address by Mrs. Angie
+. Newman, who has charge of the work
among Mormon women. Her graphic
description of the shocking condition of
Mormon women in Utah elected Mortified
ordinations from all parts of the house.
She told of two sisters, Mormon girls, one
l6 years old and the other IA years old,
whom she saw in a squalid condition both
with babies in their arms and both girls
the wives of their own father. Another
case mentioned was that of a man who
had married besides a wife outside of his
family his own mother, his grandmother,
his daughter and his granddaughter, all
these wives living at the same time.

The re Grande CITY Trouble.

ST. Louis, Oct. ga special from
Rio Grande City. Tex, says: The recent
threatened rise of the Mexican element
which caused SO much anxiety and led to
the sending thither of state e and
several sheriffs of neighboring counties
with large posses has resolved itself into
the arrest Of twenty one of the turbulent
crowd who virtually held the town. They
were arrested by the rangers on the
charge of conspiracy with intent to muir
der, brought up for examination and
bailed in sums OF $500 to S 5000 to APP
pear at the next sitting of the district
court. Editor Garcia, who was shot by
Customs Inspector Ehree in the difficulty
which was the occasion of the trouble, is
believed to be near deaths door.

The old adage, ''No breakfast, no man,"
is perhaps as true in some form today as
when first formulated, although of late
years the ideas of people concerning break
fast have undergone a radical change.
For the laboring man and for the man of
much physical exercise a heavy breakfast
is necessary, but for the man or woman
of ~sedentary habits a light breakfast is
doubtless much better. In any case,
fruit should always be found at break
fast. Many prefer it after the meal, but
it is not only more digestible but
assists the digestion more surely If used
at the beginning of the meal. For a light
breakfast the fruit should be followed by
one of the cereals in some form with
cream, which is more nourishing than
milk, and by many as easily digested.
This, followed by delicate dry toast or
rolls, with coffee, tea or chocolate, and
perhaps eggs in some form, makes a
breakfast so easily digested that many
persons can DO far more work on it than
on heavier food.-Table Talk.

Fracas on a Theatre Stage.

VENcENNEs, Ind, Oct. 23.-During
the performance of Mountain FINK at
Green's opera house last night, Mr..
Sachs, father of the leading lady, Miss
Wells. went behind the scenes and de-.
manded of Manager Pringle the receipts
of three performances. Priugle refused,
whereupon Sachs grabbed him by the
throat and dragged him before the foot
lights. Miss wells screamed and rushed
from the stage. A general panic occurred
in the audience. The two men came to
blows and both were arrested. The COM
pany was disbauded.

DESTITUTE.
A Terrible Story Of Suffering
in Dakota.
Seventy Families Destitute and
Starving.
Efforts Being Made to Relieve
the Sufferers.

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 23.-J. Harpman,
who has just returned from another visit
to Ramsey county, OAK. says of the
Polish Jew sufferers there:
THE settlement is eighteen miles from
Devils lake and comprises seventy fami-
lies numbering 23S souls. They came
here two years ago last spring, procured
land, built houses and went to work to
clear the land and become independent
farmers. Those without money mort
gagged their land and borrowed money
to pay the government price. They raised
a fair crop the first year and their pros
poets were so bright that they m~ortgaged
their lands and other property to purchase
stock and farm machinery. The second
year they planted a much larger acreage.
The notes and mortgages signed by them
bore exhorbitant interest. About the
middle of August a severe frost came and
ruined their entire crop of wheat, leaving
them only about as many potatoes as they
used for planting and nearly enough of
oats to winter the stock. Their troubles
and s%ufferings then began at once.
The merchants who had heretofore
Deel dnAiouS 10 supply all tnelr wants re-
fused to credit them any more and nearly
every creditor became alarmed and fore
closed. The situation became so bad that
the sheriff refused to infict further suffer-
ing on the people by taking their proper
tY. He found them without fuel or bread
and they were using the droppings of the
cattle for fuel to cook such few articles as
they could get. The men, women and
children are in rags and without foot
wear. We found everything as the sheriff
had stated. For the present their most
pressing needs are fuel and bread and
these articles must be had at once, for
every day is a day of suffering and priva-
ton.
we visited about twenty houses and all
with but two exceptions, weer without a
stick of wood or any other material for
fire except cattle droppings. On Satur-
day the ice was three-fourths of an inch
thick, and we found numerous little chill
dren with bare feet and legs. One woman
with two little girls with bare limbs and
feet was trying to keep warm on the
sunny side of the house. Some creditor
had taken her COW and left her to starve
with her little ones"
