A overture With Highwayman


An adventure, such as are told in re-
citals of olden times, when the high
wayman was king of the road and trav-
elers did not venture out without pro-
tecting escort of medieval PinkertOni-
ans, happened to a farmer who started
from the city of Koenigsberg, in Eastern
Prussia, after nightfall to return
to his farm. An individual in
woman's clothes asked him for
ride, which the farmer was
chivalrous enough to grant the old
woman. Looking more inquisitively at
his companion, the farmer discovered Il
long. shaggy growth of whiskers pro-
truding from under the shawl. How
was he to get rid of the dangerous fell
low? He dropped his glove and re-
quested the man to go for it. He had
hardly touched the ground when the
farmer began whipping his horses flu
riouSly, making them start at a lively
gallop. The bullet which the deserted
travelling companion sent after him
whiZzed close to the good farmers ear.

OAHU COLLEGE,
Prize Recitations-A Very Successful
Event-PriEe Winners and Prizes
Planting n Ranyan-

The prize recitations at Oahu College
on Thursday afternoon were Of high
average OF merit. The first, second, and
third prizes were swarded to Miss Belle
Louisson, Charles K. Hyde and E. f,
Mossman, respectively. In the award
OF the first two prizes the committee I'M
doubleday had the audience with them.
Miss Louisson's piece was the well-known
poem describing the martyrdom OF two
eovenanters, both women, by drowning
in the rising tide, and was given with
dramatic effect and sympathy in voice
and manner with the subject, which
carried the audience with her.
Charles Hyde gave humorous piece
humorouSly and with something OF the
effectiveness OF a professional comedian.
Mr.. Mossman's recital OF the difficult
Farewell Address OF Wolsey showed
considerable Intelligent study, and mer-
tied. in the opinion OF the committee,
the third prize, though some OF the
audience felt that Ernest Lyman put in
4 pretty strong claim of proprietorship in
this prize by his graceful and sympa-
thetic rendering Of CaSSius' protest
against Caesar. We feel we may. with
out suspicion OF hattery, say that all OF
the other recitations are entitled to hon
orable mention. The committee were
Mrs. Florence Williams, Hon. c. K.
Bishop and Rev Mr. OlesOn.
The choruses by the school were q
treat, and the duet by Levi and Ernest
Lyman was exquisite.
The prizes for defamation were first,
$50; second, s.; third, handsomely
bound volume OF the Golden Poets, pre-
sented by Mrs. w. H. Cornwell.
A prize of $50 was given for the best
essay OF the year, and $ for the best
set.
Prizes for penmanShip were SO for
the greatest improvement, IS for the
best specimen, and third prize, given
by Mr. John H. Patty, OF 50 for the sec
ond greatest Improvement.
After the prizes were awarded, the
company attended the tree-planting
ceremony OF the graduating class. The
tree Was a banyan, and though It is
now mere switch, we guarantee that II
it thrives it will, after few years start,
always be more than equal to the priyi-
lege OF holding under its shadow the
class of 1888 and their.descendants to
the remotest generations. The tree was
planted literally by the whole class,
each one giving spade-full OF earth or
some equally important service.
4 farewell address by the class to the
under graduates and the response OF
the latter finished the very pleasant ex-
ercises of the afternoon.

LEPROSY'S faint.
a Warning Sent to the state Depart
ment by Consul General Putnam.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-The astound-
ing statement is made by John H. Put
nam, United States Consul-General to
the Sandwich Islands, that large num-
Der OF persons afflicted with leprosy or
giving evidence of leprosy's tendencies
emigate to the United States yearly.
The aggregate is much larger than gen.
orally supposed. The report made by
Putnam to the State Department from
which these facts are obtained contains
an account of an experiment which was
made to determine whethee or not lep-
rosy is contagious disease. The per-
son experimental upon was native who
had been condemned to death, and the
sentence was committed to imprisen-
ment for lie on condition that he should
consent to incubation with leprous virus,
to which he agreed The experiment
was conducted by DR.. Edward Aiming,
German specialist employed by the Hs
waiian Government for that purpose.
Year followed year, and the patient
showed no evidence OF the appearance OF
the disease. A few months ago the
President of the Board of Health and
the physician in charge noticed change
in the man. He was watched carefully,
and in their opinion plain symptoms OF
leprosy appeared, but only within the
last month have they felt justified in pro-
nouncing it leprosy. There are those
who insist that the disease may have
been in his system before vaccination,
but the fact that he had arrived at mid
die age before the operation places the
result to the credit OF those who believe
it is contagious.

That Island.

The Bulletin thinks Lord Salisbury is
out OF his reckoning in claiming Mates
Island, if it belongs to the Marquesas
group According to Rand, Mentally
& Co.'S Atlas, it certainly does, being in
the index marked French" while on
the map it is within the coloring marked
at foot French" The island is nearly
due east of Tahiti and to the south OF
Pepeete, in longitude "a degrees east,
latitude IS degrees south, in round num-
bers. Apparently it can have no con-
nection with the Channel Islands; at
all events unless mariners apply that
name to some group in the Pacific, as
was thought possible to be the case

was clipped for these columns

it into his wise head, while the Japanese
steamer Yamashiro Maru was in this
port during the latter part OF 1887, to
send present of fine stallion to His
Majesty the Emperor of Japan. The
horse was forwarded by the steamer on
her home trip, and was an object Of ad-
miration to the royal recipient as well as
the courtiers and dignitaries about him.
Mr.. Rice, the other day, received the
following note of acknowledgment
June IS, 1888

Department 10 present to you, as recog-
milton of your present of q horse to His
