King Kalakana as He Is.

The King entered from an adjoining
apartment. He wore a suit of white linen
and low-cut canvas shoes He wore no
decorations or jewelry of any kind save
one solitaire diamond ring. After we
had been introduced he invited us to be
seated. We then had very pleasant gen
eral conversation for three-quarters of an
hour Then shaking hands we bid him
goodbye Before leaving he mentioned
several persons in st. Louis he wished to
be remembered to, one lady he wished to
be especially remembered to. He is about
ffty-three years old, of good address and
has received a good collegiate education.
He speaks English fuently. The stories
that are told about him-not being able to
go to the Paris Exposition for lack of
money, etc.--are not true. There are half
a dozen wealthy men on the islands who
would loan him all the money he might
want at any time. His present salary is
$4,000 per annum. with $1,000 added for
household expenses and perquisites The
crown lands yield him an annual revenue of
from S35. 900 to $40 600 Several years ago
he got in debt and the latter amount is
now used to pay off this debt. He yolun-
tarily appointed three commissioners to
take charge of the crown lands and from
the revenue pays his debts This Is so
much to his credit. as by law he cannot be
sued In any court In the kingdom.

enough there at all times, the regular
price being $50 a bag at Fort Wrigley,

1t is surmised the murderer carried the
head and legs away IN bag. The muir

Whitechapel SERIES The dissection
showed that the perpetrator possessed con-
siderable surgical skill The murdered
woman was about 80 years of age and was
evidently addicted to excessive use of spir-
ituous liquors. Her clothing was shabby.
As yet she has not been identified.
The murder has created tremendous ex-
element and a large crowd of agitated
humanity surrounds the morgue, where the
body was taken. Further examination re-
veals the fact that there was no blood on
the ground where the body was found nor
was there any indication of
a struggle. This confirms the gen
eral belief that the woman was murdered
in house and her body taken to the spot
where it was discovered. The trunk was
nude and torn bloody garment was lying
near it. Experts are Of the opinion that
the woman was killed two days ago.
Three sailors were, subsequent to the dis
covery of the body, found sleeping in the adj
joining arch. They were arrested. but
convinced the police that they had neither
seen nor heard anything of the murder or
the body lying near them and were dis
charged.

MANNERS IN THE SCHOOLS.


A teacher askes if it is the duty of teach
ers in the public and other schools to teach
manners as well as mathematics and other
branches. The question is timely one
public would lead an ordinary observer to
the conclusion that good breeding was a
lost art. If the object of school education
be fit children for useful and successful lives
when they become men women we can think
of no part of their instruction upon which
more stress should be laid than upon that
which relates to department When there
are a dozen applicants for a position in a
business house, the best hammered boy or
youth of lot the is invariably selected. Well
hammered boys rarely remain long in the
messenger service in our cities, for the rea-
son that business men offer them better
positions and secure their services. The
bestmannered statesmen and saleswomen sell
the most goods, and are in the greatest de-
mand Good-mannered men make their
ness life and in society to affair greater de-
gree than the boorish and uncouth. though
the latter may be equally diligent and quite
as competent In all respects save that ofen
deportmet These undisputed facts
show clearly that the child who is not in
structed In manners is being deprived of an
the most important part of an education.
1t is true that manners should be taught at
home But in many homes the parent
would need teaching first before they could
teach their children. To the children of
such homes the school affords the only OPP
portunity they will ever have of learning
the rudiments of common politenesS. If
the school fails in its duty in this respect
these children must grow up as boorish as
their parents. The children of cultivated
homes will likewise be all the better if re-
quired to practice in school the politeness
hey are taught at home. Parents who
have been careful to teach their children
good manners at home have frequently
found cause to complain that their efforts
In this direction were Largely neutralized
because no stress was laid upon this subject
in the schools. There are a few old fashions
that are better than the new, and one of
these is the fashion of teaching children to
be courteous and polite at school. 1t is a
fashion that has sadly fallen into decay and it
should be revived at once. A school ed
ucation that does not include this is vitality
deficient and in this day when eduction is
within the reach of all tits scarcely less than
criminal to allow boys and girls to gradu-
ate from school as rude in department as a
lot of young savages.
