King KnIakaua and Party Are Reclaimed
the Bay.
King Kalakaua, accompanied by Colonel
Baker and Consul-General Mckinley, at
tended the services at Grace Church yeste1-
day morning.
In the afternoon his Majesty and party,
including Judge Windeman of Honolulu,
became the guests OF Adolph Spreckels and
took short cruise on the yacht Luriine.
They drove TO Fisherman's Wharf about
O'clock and several hundred persons assem-
bled there to see the King embark for
the LurIine, which, with all her brilliant
bunting flying. lay at anchor in Pilot Cove.
The Trim little craft was headed across the
bay in the direction of Red Rock. but the
wind was so light that the cruisers found
themselves beealmed off Aleatraz. While
the sails flapped gently and the Lurline re-
maihed stationary lunch was spread and
greatly enjoyed.
As the yacht remained becalmed until
nearly dark the tug Action was sent out to
bring the party ashore. While over the
fourth bottle of champagne his Majesty
frankly confessed that he enjoyed the cruise
considerably more than the stormy voyage
to this port on the Charleston.

Annie Monroe He relatives live at Lon

heroine" Of z criminal prosecution at that
place which resulted in a young man
named Allen Patton being sent to prison
for a long term. The young woman's
trunk when examined by the police was
found, according to The Kansas City
Times, to contain "a large number Of let
ters, among others one from her mother
begging the hayward girl to come home,
as there WIS money enough there tor ali,
and also enough for Hannah when she tthe
rncther1 was dead. To this there WIS
partly written reply by the girl, in which
she refused TO return. She stated that she
was in love with a contractor of Liberty,

loved her devotedly she wrote: I am
Lying all my wiles to capture him. He

There were also letters in the trunk
from Kingston prison, written by Patton,
in which he impfored Hannah to come

teCs a reply had also been written, in wisioh
Hannah expressed her sorrow, but stated
that she could not help hin. She also
wrote that shs had received n letter from

as an old devil offering her q liberal

in, not merely to provide new method OF
execution, but to settle once for all what
is the method most rapid, certain and mer-
ciful. Sudden death may be inflicted IN a
hundred ways, many of them more rapid
than the moose. Shooting, if the heart or
brain is pierced, is one of them. The gull
lotine and garrOte are swifter than the
hangman. Quick poisOns have been ad-
ministered during sleep. And now the
electricians claim that the electric fluid
moves more speedily than sensation, view
borne ont as far as such views can be by
the testimony of those who have received
and survived a stroke Of lightning. Any
one of these methods would therefore be
satisfactory so far as suddenness and the
absence OF any approach to torture is con
cerned.
In old times, however, death was made
terrible by preliminary torture. The vic
tim was crucifed, or stretched upon the
rack; horses pulled the limbs from the
body; the French devised iron rings thai
were passed around the legs or body,
wooden wedges then bgtng driven between
them and the flesh until the bones and
muscles were reduced to jelly; Sir Will
lam Skevington invented an instrument
that became known as ''SkevingtOn's
Daughter" which which so compressed
the frame az to start the blood from the
nostrils and from the hands and feet; q
prisoners cell was constructed, the walls
Of which slowly closed around the culprit
day by day, until finally they crushed him
to death; the body was anointed with
honey in order to attract insects. Persons
were suspended by weights to trees, or
fastened to the limbs of trees which were
forced into proximity and then permitted
to fly apart; molten lead was poured into
the ears and the body immersed in boiling
oil; men were buried to the neck in the
earth and left to die by slow degrees; and
so until within the last 200 years the rec
ord of European cruelty in the inliction
of the death penalty Is replete with har-

Miss Lewis in the spring and early sum

age, has light brown hair, brown eyes,
good looks and lots of determination.
Ambitious to increase her store of wealth

nothing was heard Of her, and her friends
feared the worst. At last she was found
working as a domestic in Long Island

her hard earned money, but she had cleverly
avoided one or two vile traps laid for her,
had accepted the loss of the cash philo-

Elfie Seymour's career stopped short of a
nameless graveOnly because she was blessed
with plying and forgiving father. Miss
Lewis learned her lesson cheaply-the few
dollars she lost were well invested-but
MOlhe Owens went the pace from start

graceful death. Some there are, however,
who pass through the fiery furnace Of ir-
remediable shame and Twelve not as
women, but as fieuds in whose breasts
there has ceased to exist the slightest atom
of kindliness, compUnctiOn or pity. They
retain good looks and winning manners,
but their hearts are as the neither milestone
and their smiles are the lure to ruin. They
have bridged the chasm of regret and stand
on the barren heights Of "reminiscences and
greed. To this class belongs Hannah
Rowe, now locked up in jail at Kansas City
as punishment for swindling the charita-
