lGEE-sAH-KE-WE-NINE OR JUGGLERs.
1t may not be known to many Of
our readers that not many years
ago there existed class Of indi-
viduals among the Indians who
were known as Gee-sah- -ke-we-ni-
ne or Jugglers ministers of the
"black art,' whose vocations and
feats were similar to those Of the
Eastern jugglers in such feats as
the rope-tieing, knife.swallowing
and fre-eating tricks, etc. These
beings were looked upon as equal
to the medicine men in many res
poets, in fact we may say that the
representatives Of the healing art
were divided into four classes, viz:
medicine-men, dreamers, blowers,
and jugglers; Of the latter class
we will now speak Of, they were
supposed to be leagued with the
imaginary dwellers Of, the spirit
land, and to hold communion with
the different gods or spirits who
presided over the destiny Of the
dead and living worlds, prominent
among which was the Me-che-kans
or king Of the turtles who was
regarded as very powerful spirit
for good or evil, and who could
converse with and look all over
the world; Of course there were
many other spirits Of minor power,
but were all subject to the turtle.
And the Me-che-kans would COM
municate with the outside world
through the Gee-sah-ke-we-nine,
and when any person desired to
know something about absent
friends or relatives, or whether a
sick person would overcome sick
ness and live, or whether death
would follow; and where one
would find lost and stolen articles.
as also a medium between the
living and the dead and to bring
tidings from departed friends ETC.,
they would repair to some Gee-sah-
ke-we-nine and consult him about
any subject they wished to be in
formed Of.
The mode Of proceeding was
generally in this wise, when any
one wished some favor Of the Me.
che-kans, they would go and con-
suit the Gee-sah -kee-we-nine, TAX
ing some gift along, usually
tobacco, with which to please the
spirit. and be deserving Of the good
will of all the other spirits who
may take part in the ceremony !;
if everything was favorable the
1inquiring party would be informed
and invited to come at a stated
time and place, where the Gee
sah-k -we-ninne would have erect
ed a cabinet or jugglery, this was
built Of stout poles eight to ten
feet long driven firmly into the
ground and in such manner as to
form a circular body, these were
attached at intervals on the inside
to strong hoops and bound with
thongs or some other stout cords,
and over this on the outside was
fastened reed mats or a.puck-was,
(made Of cat tail reeds) blankets,
etc., so as to obscure the interior
Of the cabinet from outside view.
When the shades Of evening were
falling, this was. the time that the
the inhabitants Of the spirit world
were supposed to deign to hold
communion with the living, the
Gee-sah- ke-We-nine would seat
himself with his guest Or o11ests

The Transcript Of Little Falls,
n its last issue; contains long
letter from the Mile Lac chiefs di-
rected to the President, in which
they ask that they may be allowed
to visit Washington for the pur-
pose of making such arrangements
las will give them a perfect title to
reside at Mile Lac.
They say, 1T is true that we
have been invited to leave our
home at Mile Lac and go to White
Earth and live with those who we
refused to join in their intended
raid upon the white, people in
1862, . and they claim that on ac-
count Of their refusal to do this
there has since existed "a feeling
between them, and that portion of
their tribes living here. And they
also object to the sudden change
in the mode Of living which they
would be subjected to if they were
moved here, which would necessa-
Irily place them in dependent
position upon the Government.
They claim that Mile Lac is bet
ter adapted as home for them on
account Of the abundance. Of wild
rice, maple sugar, game, and wild
berries thereabouts; and with the
lumbermen they can always get
work, and good market for hay,
and whatever else they may have

lis better suited for the home of
white men than for the Indians,
and they ask that it may be sold
and that they may be allowed to
remain where they are. They
make many reasonable and unrea-
sonable demands upon the Govern
ment. And upon the whole the
Mile Lac Indians seem to be de-
termined not to leave their reser-
walton to come here.
From our knowledge of those
Indians, this stern opposition is
manifested among the old chiefs
only and we venture to say that it
could easily be overcome. Let the
IGovernment select the proper per-
sons to negotiate with them and
.|all their objections for refusing to
leone here will vanish.
It may take several years to get
/ them all removed here, but this
4 could finally be accomplished, and
with their consent too. But to

followed, what now seems to be

Damage to School Premises

1t was the schoolhouse at Makapala,
North Kohala, near Mahukona, that
was damaged by the storm the other
week, as reported by the Captain of
the Kilauea Hou. This is one of the
new buildings of last years construc-
ton. The house was moved off the
underpinning and the verandah was
partly wrenched from the building. 1t
is estimated that about $3.50 will make
good the damage. The wreckage was
not extensive enough to occasion a
closing of the school. Repairs have
been ordered by the Board of Educa-
ton to be proceeded with immedi-
ately.
Another schoolhouse that suffered
by the late storm was the one at Wal
ahole, Koolaupoko. This building
also was moved off the foundation,
and was more or less damaged. Con-
siderable damage was done to some of
the buildings on the teachers prem
ises.
At Kaneohe, the cottage recently
built by the Board of Education for
a teachers residence and which was
about ready to be occupied, was
turned round about thirteen feet at
one corner, the opposite corner being
moved but slightly. The damage to
the building was light.

Grand Garden Party.

Tuesday a garden party was given

of the warships In port, to-
gether with many of the notabilia
in church and state, the learned pro-
fessions and commerce, with their
wives and little ones, made up COM
pany of two or three hundred people.
The beautifully wooded lawn was
finely prepared for the occasion, ar
rangements for comfort, diversion and
refreshment being ample without OBJ
trusion. Music by the Royal Hawaiian
Band capped the climax of delectable
conditions for the happiest sort of
Honolulu times. From shortly after
2 till 6 o'clock was the entertainment
maintained, and all accounts agree in
representing it as one of the most en-
ioyable outdoor parties ever given
here.

George Englehardt Dead.

About noon on Friday, the sad news
passed round that George Englehardt
had died from the effects of an over
dose of laudanum. He had been i'll at
his house for couple of days, but the
sudden and fatal termination of his
sickness was startling piece of intel
ligence to his numerous friends.
Mr.. J glehardt was a German by
birth ana reached this country in 1878
from Queensland, where he had re-
sided for some time. He held several
positions in business since his arrival
here. For the past two and a half
years or so, he carried on business on
his own account.
Deceased was about 46 years of age
and well liked by all of his acquain-
tanees.
The funeral took place at o'clock
in the afternoon, when the remains
were inferred in the Nuuanu Cemetery.

friends of the deceased assembled at
the reception hall at his late residence.
The remains were taken first to the
Roman Catholic Cathedral, where the
funeral services were conducted, and
thence to the Roman Catholic ceme-
terry on King street. The hearse was
drawn by large body of natives. A
long procession, consisting for the
most part of native Hawaiians, pre-
coded and followed the remains to
their resting place. The body will be
taken to the family vault at Lanai, at
future time, for final interment.

A Night Alarm.

At quarter to eleven Friday night
the alarm was rung for blaze in a
Chinese store and dwelling on Fort
street, at the opening of Kukui street.
Before the bells were struck hose
reel from Engine Company No. as
house was on the way to the fire,
word of its existence having reached
that house before it had the
Bell Tower. Although the fire~had
spread throughout the building-a
long, narrow structure of two stories
the pressure of water from one of the
new hydrants enabled the firemen to
put out the flames in a few minutes.
The other companies of the brigade
with apparatus turned out, but they
had only to look on at the native fire
men drenching the building.

His Doom Sealed.

Keanu, the murderer who was SEN
fenced to death in 1854, had the last
penalty committed on condition that
he should undergo incubation with
the virus of leprosy in the interest of
pathological science. DR.. Aiming, then
under engagement with the Govern
ment to investigate the disease, accord
ing to the microbe theory of Koch, per-
formed the operation. The scar healed
up without any sign of the disease de-
veloping. Now, however, within less
than four years, it is said that the
tokens of leprosy have begun to APP
pear in the unfortunate man. He took
the risk of dying painfully and hor-
ribly by inches in order to prolong the
life he had forfeited to the majesty of
the law.

where he announces that one Mr..

hence on one Monday evening, by
taking to himself one wife, that one

one and one that is hard to "reach" by
any one bride except the right one.
