ALArr arrival from Tahiti announces

A LATE arrival from Tahiti announces
the death of Pomare ", the last of the
native monarchs. The Society Islands
with his death pass into the complete
possession of the French, instead of
existing as they have since 1912 as a
protectorate under that government.
The exhaustion Of the royal stock OF the
Tahitian kingdom, reminds us that the
late French consul, M. Moerenhout, who
held the position of Belgian consul at
the islands in 1912, was the means of
saving to the French the control of these
islands by the great influence he exer-
cised over the celebrated Queen Pomare,
the idol Of her people, who were greatly
incensed against the French, through
the intrigues of Pritchard, an English
man

Correspondence to the HERALD
The Charleston came here this morn
ing, casting anchor at 9 a. M, directly
in front of the Arcadia, about three
fourths of mile out from shore, where
they found over forty feet of water.
Although advertised very meagerly on
account OF our citizens being unable to
ascertain just when she would stop here
until the last moment, her captain and
gallant crew found large audience soon
on the beach and bluff, all anxious to
take look at Americas famous white
cruiser and eager to be among the first to
set foot on board. They were not ready
to let the eager people take peep at her
until IL o'clock, aad many ludicrous
scene was the result of indefatigable
efforts of self-invited guests before the
appointed hour, one case in particular
being especially amusing. A boat-load
of anxious sight-seers started from the
north beach bath-house under the care
of T. R. Ellis and crew-among the
number being willy Kentuckian of
about sixty, who was determined to be,
if not the first, at least among them.
After the breakers were breasted
and passed Mr.. K. begged piteously
for the crew to turn back and
land him safely on shore, but unavail-
ingly, and he was compelled to make
the journey yelling at the top of his
voice. When they reached the cruiser
they found that it was an hour before
the time set for visitors, but my friend the
Kentuckian and pencil pusher of the
wild and woolly west concluded they
would brave the storm and see the thing
through, 80 they proceeded to climb on
board, when they were met by sailor,
who positively refused to let them pro-
ceed, 80 they had to content themselves
sitting on the steps until the next boat
came up, when they were unceremoni-
ously bounced. This was an indignity
Mr.. Kentucky could not let go by un-
noticed, and standing up in the skiff he
shook his fist at the officers and crew of
the man of-war.

especially kind and many availed them

better to be in the crowd on the beach
than among those who were determined
to visit the cruiser, all of whom got a
first-class drenching both on starting
and on returning.
Over 1900 people visited the ship dur
ing the day and as 1lany more would
have done so if there had been more
boats suitable for carrying passengers.
In the evening the search light drill
was especially enjoyed, the beach being
black with those who came down to see
the cruiser and enjoy an evening beside
the sea. Messrs. Cowley & Baker pro-
vided additional entertainments for the
multitude in concert at their pavilion
by Arend's orchestra, and delightful
concert by the Euterpean quartette, of
Los Angeles, at the Arcadia.

A Homeless, Novelist.

Mr.. David Christie Murray has been
recounting to the good people of South
Australia how he become novelist.
On his first arrival in London he found,
like SO many others, the difficulty Of
getting employment On the press. Be
fore the turn of the tide came, he says,
he had four days wandering in the
streets, and at nights sat on the benches
of the Thames embankment in most
curious company. He was at last helped
by the late John Lowell, Of the Press
association, afterward of the Liverpool
Murcury, who invented" some work
for him, and sent him two guineas in a
pill box, labeled "To be taken imme.

Proof of the Earth's Motion.


Take a good sized bowl, fill it nearly
full of water and place it upon the floor
of the room which is not exposed to
shaking or jarring from the street.
Sprinkle over the surface Of the water a
coating Of lycopodium powder-a white
substance which is sometimes used by
ladies in making their toilet, and which
can be purchased Of any druggist. Next
upon the surface of this coating Of white
powder make with powdered charcoal
straight black line, say an inch or two in
length. Having made this little black
mark on the surface of the contents of
the bowl, lay down upon the floor close
to the bowl stick or some other straight
object, SO that it will lie exactly parallel
with the charcoal mark. If the line
happens to be parallel with crack in
the floor or with any stationary object in
the room this will serve as well.
Leave the bowl undisturbed for few
hours, and then observe the position Of
the black mark with reference to the OBJ
ject it was parallel with. It will be
found to have moved about, and to have
shifted its position from east to west
that is to say, in that direction opposite
to that of the movement of the earth
upon its axis. The earth in simply re-
volving has carried the water and every
thing else in the bowl around with it,
but the powder upon the surface has been
left behind little. The line will always
be found to have moved from east to
west, which is perfectly good proof that
everything else contained in, the bowl
has moved the other way.-St. Louis

A Curious Apache Belief.

The Apache Indians religious belief
prevents them from committing murder
in the dark. If dozen Apaches should
discover man sleeping by his camp fire
at night no amount of money would hire
them to attack him until the sun came
up. They believe that if they kill man
at night their own souls will walk in
eternal darkness forever. Knowing this
curious superstition, hunters, scouts,
trappers and others travelling through
the Apache nation move about during
the night and lay by in some safe retreat
during the day.-St. Louis Republic.

THE New York Tribune OF July 18th
quotes "California hot-house grapes"
rs selling at $3.50 per pound. That is a
fine price for grapes, even if raised in
lighthouses. We doubt, however, that
grapes are raised for market in this
state by the hot-house process. But if
they will bring the remarkable price of
$3.50 per pound, it would pay some Of
our culturists to go into the business.

The fact that many of the houses Of
Portland, Or, and San Francisco are
built of redwood is given as reason for
the few destructive fires that occur in
those cities. The wood is almost unin-
fammable, and, though fire will smol-
der in it, it never blazes. The great OBJ
lection to the use of this wood in the
eastern states is that it will not stand the
alterations of heat and cold.

Nasal catarrh is often helped by snuff

UPRoAR ON A RAILROAD TRAIN.
Derby Road Passengers Surprised by a
New Rule,

Derby Road Passengers Surprised by a
New Rule.
Passengers going by rail from Water
bury to New Haven often change cars
at Ansonia instead of Derby junction.
The ticket bought at Waterbury has
been good on the Naugatuck road, a
branch of the Consolidated, to Derby,
and coupon has been issued with it
good from Derby to New Haven.
"Until Wednesday," says the New Ha-
ven News, passengers with these tick
cts who changed at Ahsonia were allow
ed to ride from there to Derby on the
Derby road without paying extra fare.
The Consolidated road ticket to Derby
was recognized as pass. The reader
can imagine the surprise then of the
many passengers travelling this way over
the route mentioned Wednesday when
fare was demanded by the conductors of
the Derby. There was profuse and Wig
was nothing to the hubbub raised Wed
nesday night on the train which arrived
in this city at 1890.
About eighty passeng gers boarded the
Derby train at Ansonia with through
tickets. The conductor passed through the
train, but as the run is short between
Ansonia and Derby, he did not attem pt
to collect any fares. But when DERBY
junction was passed he began. Ten
cents was demanded from all who held
through tickets. The price for the short
run is five cents, and the usual extra
five was charged because no ticket was
presented, and coupon given that will
be redeemed for that amount at the de-
pot.
Everyone wanted an explanation, but
explaining was slow work. 1t was not
conducive to rapid ticket collecting.
The men swore-some of them-and the
women protested. Passengers who
were not interested thought at first that
pocketbook had been stolen.

both going much faster than the
