The Statement of the Shooting
of the Late Mr.. MahOe.

Mr.. EDITOR: In your issue OF
to-day, Jan. 9th, you publish a
notice of the death of Rev. }. h
Mahoe, a Hawaiian missionary.
You speak kind words OF his work.
but when you state, "a dispute
arose, and he was shot through the
arm by one of the savages, one
would naturally infer that the
shooting was occasioned by quar-
rel or dispute in which he was,
more or less, himself engaged.
Allow me to correct this wrong
impression. Mr.. Mahoe was sent
TO the Gilbert Islands in 1858. He
was located for two years ON Apal-
ang. In 1860 he was removed, as
one of the pioneers, to the neigh
boring island of Tarawa. Here he
taught the savages for nearly eight
| wears. He was then re-statloned
! at Apaiang, and while there war
broke out between the inhabitants
of these two islands. The Apaiang-
ers gained q firm foothold on Ia
rawa, and the Tarawa party came
down and took possession OF the
deserted and undefended island OF
Apaiang. These savage hordes
thronged the mission station for
weeks and months The lives of
the missionaries were constantly IN
danger. Some of the houses were
repeatedly rifed. On the 18th of
March, 1869. Mr.. Mahoe had more
or less information that 1t was the
purpose of the savages to take his
life that night. One of the party
had for some time protested to be
friendly to HIM, and was constant
ly with him on the evening of that
day. About midnight he suggested
to Mr.. Mahoe that he remove his
lamp from the sitting room into the
bed room, and that he remain in
the dark that he might not be seen
by those who wished to shoot him
t from outside. He removed the
light, and came back TO the sitting
, room. Missing the Gilbert Island
er, he went to the side of the door,
and peered out into the darkness.
l calling to the Gilbert Islander.
. The reply was a shot from this very
man, who stood but few feet from
the house. The bullet passed
through his body, near the right
shoulder, and struck the wall on
S the opposite side of the room, and
|, rebounded. For four months Mr.

REVOLUTIONARY CHILE.

v The troubles that have recently
broken out IN Chile appear to have
been impending for long time, as
far back indeed as the election OF
the present President, Senior Bal
maceda, in June, 1886. The Presi-
dents of the Chilean Republic are
elected for period of four years.
and accordingly President Bal
maceda's term of Office expired last
June. 1t appears to have become
custom in Chile that the retiring
President names his preference for
a successor, and in this case one
Senior Sanfuentes, to whom Bal
maceda was indebted for some pecu
mary services, but who had no
political or national claim to the
ctfice, was named as his candidate.
This gave rise at once to a dis
turbance of so formidable a char
acter that the chief of the Cabinet:
Senior Lastarria, demanded OF Bal
maceda the absolute withdrawal OF
his candidate.
BaImaceda insolently refused, or
which the Liberal party, hitherto
divided, demanded in concert the
withdrawal of Sanfuentes and the
appointment of new and LIBERIA
Ministry. Though the President
was obliged to make a show o
Welding, he soon found means o
forcing the new Ministry to resign
and himself appointed Cabine

which the President Withdrew

persuaded the Ministry to declar
it's determination to remain in otfic

On August 18th the obnoxious
Ministers resigned, but Balmaceda
appointed successors equally I'M
popular, they being all firm advo-
Gates of the Presidents policy, and
so the Executive and the Congress
being thrown into antagonlsm, the
position is one which has ripened
into revolution.
The Congress now refused to
grant supplies in order to force the
President and Ministers to yield to
the public. The laws regulating
and authorizing the tariff OF import
and export duties became void On
July 2, 1890, and Congress refused
any relief until the President
yielded. The country was in
state of panic, business was par
alyzed and all the machinery OF
Government ceased to act.
The President and his party still
held out.
At Valparaiso on September 1st
the Custom House was closed by
the striking of the stevedores ano
launch men who were without
wages, and who banded together
, and attacked several business es

COUNTERFEITERS CAUGHT.
A NEW YORK DETECTIVE TRAPS -FOUR
QUAKER CITY CROOKS.

A Woman Acts as the Go-Between - The
Gang Had Been Disposing of $500 to
$1,000 Weekly, Both in Paper and in
Silver Coin.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1S.-Four alleged
leaders of the gang that has been flooding
the city with counterfeit money were ar
rested shortly after midnight this morning.
The prisoners are Raphel di Nicola and
Giacomo di Nicola, alias "Doc," keepers of
an Italian restaurant and lodging house and
wholesale dealers in counterfeit money, and
Frederick Derogali and Emma Tate, accom-
pIices.
Matthew L. Griffin, of the New York de-
tectiye Office, came to this city and took up
his quarters in the down town lodging
house. Here, by representing himself as q
crook, he soon became intimate with a num-
Der of the genuine article. He told them
that he wanted to get hold of some counter
felt money, which he said he understood
how to get rid Of Griffin was taken to
her confidence, was told where he could get
the counterfeit money Armed with her
recommendation he met Di Nicola and
bought counterfeit money from him.
Griffin bought counterfeit money on four
| occasions, both coin and paper. The coin,
| an imitation of the silver dollar of 1888, was
passed frequently in this city during the
past year. The paper is dangerous
counterfeit of the S. treasury note of the
issue of $780,
Emma Tate's part of the business was that
of go-between. Her recommendation had
to be secured before they could procure the
counterfeit money. During his work Grif-
fin met with many queer experiences. He
pretended to pass the counterfeit money,
The change he received he divided with his
associates, who considered him a very clever
fellow.
The gang has been disposing from $500 to
81, 600 a week of the counterfeit money.
The reason none was found when they were
arrested was because they had disposed of
all they had and were awaiting fresh sup
ply

IDEN'S MOTION DENIED.

The Ohio Supreme Court Refuses to Issue
Mandamus in His Favor-The Demo-
crat in the Case in just as Bad Box.
COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 1S.-[Speeial 1.-The
Supreme Court has refused to issue writ
of mandamus to compel the Muskingum
County Board of Elections to certify to the
election of George Iden as Senator from the
Fifteenth-Sixteenth district. Iden brought
proceedings some days since, and the deci-
sion has been awaited with some interest
He is a Republican, and has been counted
as Sherman man in case he secured his
seat.
The friends of Governor Foraker are we'll
pleased with the action of the Court. The
decision is of great Importance, aside from
the Senatorial contest. Neither Iden nor
Gaumer has certificate of election, and
there can be no contest for the seat.
1t develops that under the Australian
system, should there be two members of the
county board of elections in one of the
Senatorial districts of the State who re-
fused to certify to the election of either
candidate, the Legislature would be unable
to organize for business.
The Court was evidently divided on the
decision, standing two and two. The fifth
member, Judge Dickman, of Cleveland,
was not on the bench. 1t is understood no
further action can be taken until the case is
heard by the Circuit Court, sometime in
March, and in the meantime the district
will be without representation in the Senate.

HAIR AND PHYSICAL STRENGTH.
The Story About Samson Is Borne Out by

The Story About Samson Is Borne Out by
the Facts of To-Day.
st. Louis Globe -Democrat.l
During the last few weeks the discussion
as to abundance of hair being evidence of
strength has again come up, some arguing
that there was nothing novel in Samson 5
strength being in his hair, and others that
as rule the strongest men are least blessed
with an abundant hair covering. There are
necessarily exceptions to all rules, but
most freaks of strength of modern times
have luxuriant hair. There are five or six
women now travelling with dime museum
shows, lifting enormous weights with their
hands or teeth, and performing other ex-
traordinary feats of strength, and nearly all
of them have magnificent heads of hair
Among prizefghters the same rule ap-
plies, and although athletes generally keep
their hair cut very close to the head, they
usually have very thick growth of hair,
and are seldom bald Ancient history is
delved into great deal in the discussion.
but the fact remains that the strongest men
of to-day have in almost every instance not
only heavy heads of hair, but also quite
substantial growth on the chest and arms.
1t may be that excessive bodily vigor and
activity promotes the growth of hair, or
that the hair itself is an evidence Of
strength, but whichever may be the cause
and the effect, the combination exists as
very general rule
