THE DEATH of King Kalakaua in a foreign

was beginning TO give way before the whites.
American missionaries arrived in 1870, and soon
thereafter the king abolished the tdbu and idola-
| try. On Nov. 27, 1928 the king, who had long
desired to travel, sailed for London on British
msn-of-war, accompanied by his queen Kane
hanaiu and suite They were received by
George ~. and attracted much attention in
London. Early in July, 1924, they were attacked

The man-of-War Blonde was detailed to carry
the remains of the king and queen to their king
dom, and on May 8, 1925, it arrived at Honolulu
where the dead sovereigns were buried with
| christian ceremonies.
KING KALAKAUA, the deceased monarch of the
Sandwich islands, was an ardent admirer of
| base bah. One bright summers day in Chi
'cago, when Adrian Constantine Arson and his
nimble minions we're closing their last test to
humble the pride and defeat the proud Bos-
tonisns, red-faced gentleman from the un-
| tanned west was doing the umpring and, to
everyOody'S disgust, he was favOring the men
from Boston. Kalekaua was there. He knew
Arson intimately. and he wanted to see the
grand old man triumph. In the Chicago's half of
the ninth inning, with men on second and third,
Anson came 70 the bat. The score stood two
/ TO one in favor of Boston. With majestic
dignity the king offered to bet $40 that Arson
would make base hit and win the game One
OF the gentlemen in the box accepted the
| wager. Kalakaua produced a crisp 0anknote
and the bet was made. Then to everybo rs
| amazement, and his kinglet's disgust, the UNI
pire called Arson out on three strikes. The
bleachers Kissed, the stands groaned at the
| decision, but his majesty the king simply
| turned to his friends, and in a voice hoarSe
! with passion, exclaimed: Gentlemen the UNI
pife is one dreadful fool"
| ONE Of the sensations in sleighing in Central
Park, New York. on Sunday, says the sun, was
directed by a lad of not more than f2 years,
who drove team of perfectly broken and IN
usually agile little donkeys attached to a sleigh
| which was an exact counterpart of the Russian
| style OF vehicles, which are nippautly referred
| To as cigar boxes on runners" He had an En-
/ glish groom scarcely bigger than himself. who
| sat on the seat with an air Of intense
| though juvenile dignity. The donkeys wore
piumes which were even longer than their ears,
and harness studded brilliantly with polished
| brass nails. They made a tremendous
| appearance Of speei by throwing their
heads high, jumping up and down in
| the air and shaking about in their
harness at great rate. The boy sat erect with
| his hands well down and used his whip artisti-
| cally. The whole outfit attracted a good deal
Of attention, and the lad evidently thought
| that he was moving at lightning speed, but
| the donkeys knew better. They got over the
| ground about as fast as a quick walking horse,
but they made noise enough to suggest a close
/ finish at the Suburban. Everybody gave the
| snowy little team the right of way, and occa-
| sionally good-naJured drivers would make some
sort or comment to the boy. He did not notice
them, however, but continued on his way with
| an amount of dignity that was only equaled by
| the a1sterity of the groom. Aside from this he
| had about as much as he could attend to with
his fiery little team Half the time the donkeys
showed q disposition to walk exclusively on
| their hind legs.
