Which Seven Natives Were Killed.
News has just been received from the Ha-

the Government. 1t was headed by two hale
white Hawaiians named Wilcox and Boyd,
who at o'clock in the morning marched to
the palace of King Kalakaua in Honolulu,
leading body of rioters numbering $50.
The King was notified and the Cabinet
called together. The rioters summoned Lieu
tenant Parker to surrender the palace. When
he refused some of the attacking forces de-
serted Wilcox.
The field pieces Of the rioters were soon
sllenced by the fire Of the sharpshooters, who
kept up a steady fusillade upon the men at
these guns as long as any Of the rebel gunners
appeared in sight.
By II A. NJ. the rioters had all taken shelter
in bungalow situated in the palace grounds
and the fire OF the Rifles slackened to only
an occasional shot as the rioters came within
their range. From that time there was lit
tie or no firing done by the rebels.
In the afternoon the Honolulu Rifles used
dynamite bomb on the building, whereuDon
the insurgents surrendered and were locked
up
When arrested Boyd had letters on hisper-
son duplicating 800 natives and whites, some
of them very prominent persons in Hawaii

BOULANGER FOUND GUILTY.
The Fugitive General Convicted of
Conspiracy and Treason.

The State Council of France has annulled
the elections in twelve cantons in which Gen
eral Boulanger was recently elected to the
Councils-Genera on the ground that
the General was not legally eligible
to the position. General Boulanger
has written a letter, in which he
states that he gave the sums of money which
he is accused of embezzling to the chief
clerks in the War Office, to be used for the
relief of widows and orphans of soldiers;
Five dodgers in the house of Nine. Pour
pres the former companion OF General
Boulanger, have sworn that the General Yves
in Paris on July Is, 1887, the day on which, it
is alleged, he visited the city in disguise.
The Senate Court during the afternoon
found General Boulanger guilty of conspir-
acy.
The court also found Dillon and Rochefort
guilty of completely with Boulanger in his
plots.
They further decided, by vote of 1913 to
10, that Boulanger was guilty of reasonable
actions against the State in connection with
the Lyons depot incident.

said it was all changed, all fair and square,
and Straightforward.
Some 20 years before, Day had been sent
to a special job; he was attendant to the in
sane son of man Of rank; he stayed there,
married servant in the family, and when
the patient died, out of gratitude for
the care he took of his son, the
gentleman settled $1,000 on old
Day. Old Day lived on that
$50 year, and his savings. Mrs. Day
died, and the old fellow, being alone with
his girl, took me to live with them as watch
dog, as have related. Now old Day had
one great friend, old Stewart. Old Stewart
was an attendant at large private asylum
in the environs of London. Whenever old
Stewart mad an hour or two to spare, he
would come and sit and smoke with his
old comrade Day-he was very fond of old

some Erronsous Ideas cOnceruins Then
Corrected.

Some Erronsous Ideas Coaceruing Them
Corrected.
At the last meeting Of the Bombay Nat
ural History Society Mr. Gilbert, we'll
known shikaree, read paper on man-eating
tigers, of which . brief report is given in the
London Times. He says that the popular
idea Of the man-eater is wholly incorrect. BE
is commonly supposed to be ''an old brute,
more often decrepit than otherwise, perhaps
lamed from some former wound, with his
teeth broken, his skin always NANCY, IN
able from his infrmities to kill game, but
obliged to conceal himself near a village
path and then to pOunce upon some lonely
human being and devour him, never attack
ing when there are more than two or three
persons together, and always displaying
great cunning"
Sir William Hunter takes this view, and
describes the man-eater as generally an old
beast, disabled from overtaking his usual
prey, and who seems to accumulate his tale
of victims in sheer cruelty rather than for
food. Sir William Hunter mentionsa man
eater who was known to have killed 108
people in three years, and another which
killed an average of 80 persons a year for
the same period. A third caused Is vii
lagos to be abandoned and $50 square miles
of land TO be thrown out of cultivation. A
fourth killed 127 persons in a year and
stopped public road for many weeks.
Mr.. Gilbert, however, says that these
views as to the man-eater are quite erro-
neous. They are not different from the or
dinary tiger, which lives on game and bull
locks, but he does not say why they become
man-eaters. Sir Joseph Fayrer suggests
that it is by the accident Of having once
tasted human flesh and then finding all
other flesh insipid.
Mr.. Gilbert mentions certain famous
man-eaters One, tigress in the Nagpur
district, has fondness for the employees Of
the Bengal-Nagpur Railway, frequents a
tract OF country only about nine
square miles In area. and is Dos
sessed of extraordinary cunning and
audacity. This year, up to june. she had
killed seven people, besides wounding others.
She lives in rocky and PERCEPTIONS spur,
IN which there is heavy bamboo and other
jungle. Several springs of water rise at the
foot OF the scarps, and there is q cave
which shows many signs of being used
by her and her family. A big stone
just outside the entrance is scored deep
and long with many scratches of their
claws. In February last, in broad daylight,
she carried of one of a gang of permanent
way men from under the eyes of his COM
panions She had been shot at mary times
and her cubs killed, but she has got off
scatheless. Sometimes the man-eater trav-
erses long distances. Thus the Jaunsar
man-ester, which was killed by an officer of
the forest department, after killing a man
in one place would kill another 20 miles off
the next night. This one, also a tigress,
frequented belt Of the Himalayas 5000 to
10000 feet high, and was eventually killed
5000 feet above the sea. But none OF the
man-eaters recorded BY Mr.. Gilbert were de-
crepit or worn out. They were strong,
handsome beasts in their prime.

NEW ZEALAND PARROTS,
Birds That VIII be Killed Rather Than
Desert Wounded Companions.

Desert Wounded Companions.
Nature.1
We shot about dozen birds and were
about to leave the wood when saw large
brown bird flying through the tree tops and
cut him down with snap shot among the
branches. He only had broken wing and
at once set up great squawking like q
frightened parrot. I was about to go aud
finish him when my host bade me wait, con-
cealed under cover OF small tree; noticed
Blank run to ambush, and wondered why
for moment, when heard cries similar
to those uttered by the wounded bird pro-
ceeding from ali parts of the forest, and soon
the air was literally filed with birds. We
began shooting them as they circled around
the trees, evidently trying to come to the aid
of their companion.
We had soon fired away about 100 cart
ridges. and had the ground strewn with
birds which Blank said were ber-caw-caws.
They were like large bronze pheasants in
size and shape, with hooked bills and long
tails. They are members Of the parrot fam
lily, are to be found on the North Island of
New Zealand in great quantities, and can
be easily killed If one can be wounded, as
the flock will never leave companion in

Sweet memory of hope that died
Mid storms of sorrow sobbing,
I'll lay thy fading form beside
A heart as sadly throbbing
With pain and agony unguessed
As ever mortal bosom
Bore through a night of wild unrest,
Thou sacred little blossomi
Thou camest with a Joy new born,
A CLEAN OF heavenly glory,
And when One warned me OF thorn
/ needed not the story;
And even now, though be wrong,
/ sit here wondering. grieving,
That lips which sung so sweet a song
Should prove so unforgivingi
But thou shalt rest above my heart,
Each petal pale treasure.
Forgetting all the wounds that smart
For that brief hour of pleasure.
Regardless Of the thorns that tear
Ny soul and pierce and sever,
For her dear memory's sake I'll bear
Thee on my breast foreverl
