Majorities have not always ruled
this country. Thirty or forty years
ago. for example, handful of slave
holders dominated their party in the
North and ran the Nations affairs by
their audacity and buli-dozing, The
descendants of those men are at
tempting the same tactics now, but
they find that this time the majority
has the courage to assert ltself.-St

The mountain lion has been heard
from again this time in the Mennon.
ite settlement northeast of Granada.
One night last week he ran Martin
Duaksen's dog up on the roof of Lis
dugout. Martin, aroused from his
peaceful slumbers by the sprining of
the lion upon his roof, hastily grab
he'd n sir-shooter, and, clad only In
his neither garments, sailed forth to
conquer. The beast made for the
stable with Martin in hot pursuit.
When victory seemed within his easy
grasp Martin discovered to his dismay
that his pistol had not single load
Hastily retreating to his house and
loading his pistol lie returned to the
scene of conflict, and fred bullet at
the lion. The animal gave a low
growl and was soon out of Martins
sight. The next day his path marked
in blood could be traced for long
distance. A beast much larger than
gray wolf has been seen lately by
others in that locality and no doub
it is the same one that lately terror
lied Granada.-Granada Exponent

a good attendance of friends and
parents. The pupils went through
q programme of recitations and
songs in English and Chinese. They
were examined in English by Miss

plished by the teachers since the

COMBINED CONCERT.


Three Bands Play Together at the
HoteI-An Immense Attendance.
A rare musical treat was given the
public of Honolulu yesterday even
ing, when the bands OF the French
flagship Dubourdieu, the e. S. flag
ship Charleston and the Royal Ha-
waiian Band gave a combined con
cert at the Hawaiian Hotel. The
attendance was something simply
enormous. People were packed all
over the grounds like sardines, and
they remained throughout the con-
cert. Both verandas were crowded
from one end to the other-a large
number of ladies occupying seats.
Never has such a crowd of people
been seen before in the hotel and
grounds. His Majesty the King,
Admiral Brown, Admiral Premes-
nil, members of the Cabinet, diplo-
matte and consular corp, and the
captains and officers of the men-of
war in port were among those pre-
sent. The front of the building was
nicely illuminated with colored lam
terms, while the grounds were lit up
by the electric light.
The first part of the programme
opened with the Hawaiian band CSC
members) on the stand. 1t played
two numbers in its usual we'll known
and appreciated style. Then came
the Charleston band rs men) which
also played two selections very skill
fully. Its performance drew forth
loud applause, which was well de-
served. The French band GO men)
was warmly received as the members
took their places. There was finish
to the playing of this band that was
most enjoyable. 1t played five pieces.
and rounds of applause greeted each
number.
The second part consisted of three
numbers played by the combined
bands, numbering seventyfour must
clans. A powerful volume of tone
came forth, as might be expected
from so many instruments. The
concert terminated about half-past
10 o'clock. 1t was a grand success
in every way, and much credit is due
those who arranged it.

The TivoIi Gaiety Company.

The playing Of the bands at the
Hotel prevented this company from
performing last evening. but on Sat
urday evening they will produce the
best of American comedies ''Forbid
den fruit as played by Robson and
Crane, and which made them both
fame and fortune. 1t is the acme of
fun and it should be the piece de
resistance of this company's engage
ment. 1t is cast to the full strength
of the company and will no doubt
attract full house.
The matinee yesterday afternoon
was literally patronized, when the
children and ladies enjoyed the
"Peck's bad boy" performance.

of coffee per capita it is pity not to

of coffee, or one-eighth of a pound,
to one pint of cold water, let it soak
over night in an earthern or agate
