the ,iieS; profanity imaginable. and when
Policeman SOntaS made the arrest Henry still

George Harries' Good Work.

From the Omaha Bee.
Mr.. George Fl. Harries, correspondent of the
Washington STAR, passed through Omaha to-
day en- route from Pine Ridge to Washington
Mr.. Harries has done some exceptional news
paper work on the reservation. Probably the
best of it all was when he gathered together
the hostile chiefs who were soon to start for
Washington and by the aid of an interpreter
interviewed each one of them. Thus Mr.
Harries was able to send his paper all the chiefs
had to say. THE STAR made good use of the
interviews and printed each one with cut Of
the savage chieftain whose language was
ton. Mr.. Harries followed this up with some
thing of revelation to the Interior Depart
ment. He showed conciusively that the Indian
chiefs that had been designated to 90 to WASH
ington and buzz the Great Father and get a
new broadcloth suit were all from the dis
gruntled, nOn-prOgressive. misunderstanding
motion, and that not n single one of them had
ever been known to work in any way; had
never produced crop and had never engaged
in the simple pursuits which have enabled
large number Of good Indians to almost sup
port themselves. Not one of the latter class
had been called to Washington and the Indians
who were called at once began TO taunt the
goodie-goodles over this unhappy condition OF
things. They drew the only moral there was
in it, to wit: That it didn't pay to work. but if
every Indian would at once proceed to have
monkey and parrot time they would at once re-
ceive the attention and respect OF the Great
Father.
This fact Mr.. Harries sent home to the au-
thorities at Washington and the result was that
the Indian office sent Mr.. L. w. Blackburn,
formerly of Omaha, out from Washington post
haste to muster delegation of industrious
progressive Indians IN order that they, too
might talk with the Great Father.

THE LATE KING KALAKAUA.

What a Naval Officer Says of the Eccentric
Monarch's Habits.
The published statement that the late King
Kalakaua Of Hawaii was, during his lifetime,
frequently seen at the bar Of the Hawaiian
Hotel it Honolulu in beastiy state of intoxi-
cation Is not believed to be true for there are a
great many men in Washington WHO have not
only visited Honolulu, but who have had excel
lent opportunities for observing the eccen-
tricities of his majesty. Among these
is naval officer, who remarked to a
STAR reporter this morning that the statement
did great injustice to the late king. 81 do
not believe" he said, that Kalakaua was ever
seen at the bar of the Hawaiian Hotel drunk.
for he seldom or never went there in any con-
dition. ! was stationed in Honolulu for a wear
and a half and do not think that ever saw
the king at the hotel more than three or
four times in that period. Then, again,
1t was remarkable thing for him to be drunk.
for he veritable tank, and although he
drank heavily il was very seldom that he had
too much. L have no doubt that the king
enjoyed little round with the boys occa-
sionally, and it has probably happened that he
has taken drinks in the Hawaiian Hotel, but
/ doubt whether such spectacle as the
writer in the morning paper says was q
common thing was ever witnessed. And again,
with all his qualities as a hai-fellow- met
the old king bad u certain dignity suited to his
position, and believe that whatever may have
been the occasion his boon companions. never
forgot to address him as your majesty"

GAVE RELIGION FOR REALTY.
The Missionary Businesp a Very Profitable

The Missionary Business a Very Profitable
One In the Sandwich Islands.
'Missionarying in the Sandwich Islands has
proved one of the most, if not the most, lucra-
tive vocation ever known in that balmy Cline
In fact" said DR.. Charles Severns, Honolu-
lutte, to Chicago Post reporter, Sin fact, if
may be allowed the expression, missionarying
there il, or rather was, what might be called q
veritable snap.
ut is different now, though; because you
see, the early Corners secured the available
prizes. These prizes consisted of fine arabic
land owned by the natives. The mission
aries, with an idea to the main chance
coveted this land and it took but a short time
for them to exchange liberal quantities of
religious dispensation for it. Religion, you
see, was new to the Kanakas, and under
the insinuating influences of the missionaries
1t became. In very short time, nothing
more nor less than what is now called q fad
THE Kanakas went wild over it, and if they
had anything the missionaries wanted they
were only too willing to give it for the asking
The missionaries were not at all backward in
asking and the situation on the islands now is
just this: The missionaries own everything, the
natives own nothing; that is, generally speak
ing. That there are exceptions is a matter Of
course. These missionaries form the planters
or missionary party. Their power under the
new constitution, made in pursuance to their
scheming, is practically unlimited.
The public measures are subject to the vote
Of such people as enjoy the franchise. But
the natives are not numbered among such peo-
pie, and the result is that the $1,000 Kanakas
are bound to obey the dictates of the 5000
whites. All the whites are not missionaries
but the leaders are and anything they say
goes. No, they do not keep up their missionary
work. They devote their energies to sugar
growing and politics, and in that way keep
busy aud make plenty of money besides. -

HER wANDERINGs AT AN END.

A Graphic Picture Of q wretched Death In
the Metropolis.
From the New York Herald
An unknown woman wandered aimlessly
about the streets yesterday morning. She
was faint and hungry and finally stopped in
front Of a coffee stand at No. 81 Park street
She was young woman, not over thirty ap-
parently. Her face bore the marks more Of
suffering, sorrow and want than of dissipation.
She was poorly clad.

an italian whom every one in the neighbor-
hood calls by that name, 'Tm cold and hungry.
want cup of coffee, but have no money"
IAN right" said John; Just sit down there
and you shall have it,
The woman seated herself at small table,
took from her pocket a crust of bread, and,
dipping 1t In the hot coffee, began to eat it.
FELL DEAD TO THE FLOOR.
"Here," said John, 'I'll warm it for you"
As the man took the crust to toast it before
the fire in the stove the young woman gave q
sudden start.
"Ohi' she exclaimed. 81 am 30 sick.'
sudden CONFUSION seized her, her features
were contracted as If in great agony. Then her
face assumed an expression of repose. Her
body sank to the floor. She was dead.
"ConvulsiOns brought on by Bright disease"
WAS what Deputy Coroner DOnlin said after he
viewed the body starvation, more likely"
observed q bystander.
Then another woman came in from the
street.
"Oh," said she, pointing to the dead body,
II know her. That's Lizzie Muller" And she
as abruptly left the place. The body was taken
to the morgue.
On the dead woman's person were found few
Salvation Army tracts. q rosary and q crumpled
bit OF paper upon which were printed several
verses. DR.. Donlin read the first verse aloud.
There was not dry eye in the room when he
had finished. 1t ran as follows:
On the street, on the street.
Ioand tro with weary feet.
Aching heart and aching head.
Homeless, lacking daily bread:
Lost to friends and Joy and name,
Sold to sorrow. sin and shame,
Wet with rain and chilled by storm.
