CATTLE FOR HAWAII,
Shipment of a Herd of GalIoways from
Sacramento

Shipment of Herd of GalIoways from
Sacramento.
W. c. Weldon, Secretary of the Interna-
tional Galloway Cattle Company, whose
headquarters on this coast are in this CITY
shipped from here few days ago twenty
two head of Galloway cattle, which were
purchased some weeks since by gentle
man from Honolulu. The stock were
placed on board vessel at San Francisco
which departed yesterday for the islands.
This is the most valuable lot of fine cattle
ever shipped to the islands at one time and
the largest herd of these cattle that has
ever left this continent for a foreign port.
The lot consisted of eleven bulls and
eleven fine cows. Some of them were
superb animals, and one could not help but
admire their strong, vigorous appearance
and massive size.
Among the bulls was Monarch 9, Sol -
but three years old, and which weighed
1890 pounds. In the Galloways the
choicest blood of the Drumlanrig, Semi
ramis and Magnolia families was repre-
sented, there being three first and second
prize winners among the females, many of
which were perfect beauties.
In the Angus lot, Orlando 1852" a son
of the famous Knight of st. Patrick, stood
at the head, weighing over 1,S00 pounds,
while the heifer Lark. 6,913, represented
the other side of the house. She is a beau
titul, neat, clean animal, and won first pre-
MUM in her class at the Nevada State Fair
at Reno last fall. Altogether it was re-
markable shipment to the islands.
1t is understood that while they were all
descended from the Scotch stock and re-
corded, that all were raised in the United
States.

A Queer Find.

While digging to lay main on Center
street to-day the workmen about three feet
below the surface stuck their picks into an
old can of some ten or twelve gallons ca
pacity. When excavated it was found to
be partially filed with solid substance
nearly white, which yielded pungent odor
of kerosene, and showed porous crystal
lization, some of the faces of which gilt
tered like mica. 1t is easily reduced TO a
powder, and when in that shape melts
easily and burns readily, giving forth a
dark, heavy. coal-oily smoke. From Its
smell, and the qualities displayed when
heated, some are of the opinion that the
can once contained kerosene, but the tin
became rust-eaten, allowed the volatile part
OF the substance to escape. and that the
residue settled down and crystalized. The
crystals seem TO have formed first next to
the surrounding tin. 1t resembles in APP
pearance and smell stesropten of coal-tar
