KING KAIAKAUA DEAD.

The King of the Sandwich Islands
died in San Francisco last week OF
consumption.
David Ka Ia Kaua, which Anglicis-
ed means the "Day of Battle" was a
fullblooded Hawaiisn, having been
born at the foot of the Punch Bowl
Hill, Honolulu, on November 10,
1896, His father was the high chief
of Kahamokalaninui and his mother
the high chiefess Keohokalole. He
received thorough education at the
royal college and spoke English fluent
ly.
He came to the throne in 1873,
after an exciting time in the Legisla-
ture and against the will Of the major
ity of his subjects. Lunalilo, who
reigned as kamehameha W., having
died of too free indulgence of whisky,
without fixing upon a successor, the
Dowager Queen Emma, widow of
Kamehamena w., was chosen by the
English residents and the natives, but
she did not please the American fac
ton, and David kalakau was brought
forward as a candidate for royal hon
ors.
The fight was bitter one. The
Americans packed the Legislature in
February, 1874, and having bought up
the votes Of the adjoining islands of
Maui and Hawaii, Kalakaua was cleo
ted King by a good majority. The
natives, however, did not want him;
they surrounded the the Legislative hall
and when the result was announced
they stormed the building, beat the
members who voted for the new King
and would have ended the matter in
short order had not Kalakaua ma lie
himself scarce. The riot lasted several
days and was only quelled by the
presence of the crews of the English
and American ships-of-war laying in
the harbor
AT length kalakaua took the oath
Of Office, surrounded by strong body
guard of marines and sailors, and the
natives sullenly submitted. But the
dead king has never been popular.
He was afraid of his subjects and
jealous Of the popularity of Queen
Emma.
For long time Prince David was
clerk in the Interior Department
and also clerk Of the privy Council
nnder the previous kings. He was
married on December 10. 1868, to
the chiefess Kapiolani, daughter Of
Chief Keowe and his wife Kaleuinuia-
mamao. The marriage was childless
and the dead monarch is succeeded by
his elder sister, the Princess Lydia
Kamakeha Lilinokalani, who was born
on September 2, 1898, and is married
to John o. Dominis, Bostonian, and
for many years Governor of Oahu.
The kings income is $aa,soo a
year, and $4,000 voted by the Legis-
lature, and about another $500 from
the income of lands attached to the
crown. He was always in debt, how
ever, and the Legislature frequently
voted him an extra allowance.

Among bills that have been present
ed in the Legislature is ballot reform
bill which by agreement of the Judici-
airy General Committee will be affirm
atively recommended, and then the
merits of the two measures, the Ballot
Reform Associations and the Fow bill,
will be discussed in the House. The
Fow bill goes more into detail than
the other. In their general operation
however, they are similar, providing
for surety and effectiveness, and impos-
ing heavy penalties for violation of the
law.
Fow, Of Philadelphia, presented a
bill for the purpose ofdefning Sabbath
labor. 1t amends the old blue law of
1894, and makes it lawful to sell and
deliver milk, to sell ice, fish and meat
but not to deliver them by wagon or
other vehicle: 10 sell cigars and ice
cream, to print and sell and deliver
newspapers, run street railway cars,
and open barber shops and bathing
houses.
Stocking, of Washington, offered a
bill that all executions shall hereafter
take place in the Western or Eastern
Penitentiaries before sunrise on the day
set by the Governor. Provision is
made for a jury of SIX. six witnesses
for the condemned, newspaper report
ers, physicians, and clergymen.
Johnson of Luzerne, presented
bill exempting electric light companies
from tax on their gross receipts.
A bill by Mr.. Roth, of Lehigh, fixes
the license fees in cities, boroughs,
and townships, and provides for the
disposition Of the fees. Mr. Johnson's
bill permits cities Of the first class to
retain all the fees collected for license.
The most important of the license
bills was that of Mr. Fow, which es-
tablished a License Court consisting
OF the the three County Commissioners
and two citizens who shall be appoint
ed by the court, one of each political
party, annually. These County Com
mssioners for this service to receive
half as much more salary as they an
nually receive, and the other two men,
bers of the board to receive a sum
equal to the total amount received by
the commissioners.

Local newspapers are as much a
part of civilization as our schools and
churches. They have followed the,
footsteps of civilization everywhere,
exerting powerful influence in build
ing up communities and fostering in
dustries. The history of town, in a
business sense, at any rate, dates from
the advent Of its local paper. A town
where 10 such eratng influence exists
is of necessity sleepy. Reader, what
do you do towards keeping up your
local newspaper? How much patron
age do you give it3 There are bust
ness men in Bloomsburg who merely
subscribe for their local paper. They
do not advertise, and worse, still they
get their job printing done away from
home. These same business men
would be the first to complain if the
town had no local paper. you want
Bloomsburg to be isolated from the
world, drive out your home paper by
non support.

If any Senator or Representative, be

as they please, they have discovered
that he is bold, bad man. On Tues

and taking up the Congressional Ap-

Devastating a Trout Stream

Fishing creek has long been known
as one Of the best trout streams in the
State Of Pennsylvania. but unless the
State Fishery Commissioners move in
the matter, and soon, its days as a
trout stream are numbered The large
tannery at Jamison City runs its refuse
into the creek, and the countless saw
mills that have sprung into operation
during the past couple Of years are
pouring the death dealing sawdust in
to this beautiful stream. In fact, it is
becoming huge sewer for all the
polluting refuse and waste from the
numerous industries that are springing
into life along its banks.
Thousands of beautiful trout are
daily seen floating dead upon the sur
face OF its waters, and trout, too, that
make the heart of the sportsman sad
when he looks at them. Great speck.
led beauties from eight to fifteen inch
es in length, killed by the foreign mat
ter turned into the creek near the
head-waters. Much better allow fish
ermen to take them by means of hook
and line, or in any other manner, at
all seasons of the year, than to allow
this wholesale destruction of the Ash
by which no one is benefited. and by
which the stream may in time become
as CatawlsSa creek, in which no fish
can live on account Of the pollution of
its waters.
We respectfully call the attention of
Fishery Commissioner S. Il. Stillwel.
OF Scranton, to this matter, and trust
that he will take some immediate ac-
ton to save to the people Of the State
one OF the best trout streams within
her borders.- Lat0toissu News Ie,0.
The above facts are indisputable.
The laws of the state forbid the pol
luton of streams, and herein all should
JOIN IN making an effort to prevent
this wholesale destruction OF the best
fish of the streams The headwaters
OF the Fishingcreek are stocked year
after year with young trout, but the
sawdust will kill them off faster than
they can be stocked.

terror stricken and refused TO be

Some Of the women tainted, Others become

Havana was hove toand Capt. Beebe made
an examination of his vessel. The in

damage done by the schooner's powerful
