Sketch of His Life.

David Kalakaua was born on the 10th OF
November 1886, bis father and mother not
being in direct descent from the line Of
ancient Kings of Hawaii.
When King Kamehameha V. died in 1872,
he became candidate for the throne, but
was defeated in the plebiscitum by William
Lunalilo, who died within year Of his ac-
cession. Kalakaua then again put forward
his claims, but was opposed by Queen Emma,
widow of the fourth King Kamehameha.
He was elected by the Legislature,
whereupon the supporters of Queen Emma
attempted to start revolution, and attacked
the Parliament houses. Order was estab-
lished finally by marines from English and
American men -of-war in the harbor, and
Kalakaua was established in the regal au-
thority.
In the autumn of that year, 1874. he do.
cided to visit the United States and Europe,
with view to the conclusion of a CONNER
cial treaty, and he was brought to this coun-
try in an American frigate. From San
Francisco he proceeded to Salt Lake City,
Chicago, Boston, New York, New Bedford
and other cities, and made favorable inn
preston everywhere as an intelligent and
well-meaning man.
In 1882 he made trip around the world.
and was received by the crowned heads Of
Asia and Europe as brother and equal. He
visited the courts Of japan, China Siam.
Singapore Bur1nah, India, Egypt France,
England, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Austria
and Germany.
During Kalakaua's reign there have been
several attempts at revolution, generally at.
tributed to foreign intrigue, but none of
them were successful. He married in 1868
Kapiolani, daughter of an eminent chief, but
leaves no children.
Kalakaua will be succeeded by his sister,
Lydia Kamakaheha Liliuokalani, who was
born on September 2, 1893. She was pro:
claimed heirapparent to the throne on April
12, 1877, on the death of his brother, who had
been proclaimed heir upon the Kings in
auguration. Princess Liliuokalani Is now
acting regent, having twice previously filled
the high Office durinJ the Kings absence.

The manuscript to DAILY, that dramatic censor
said:
1.-THE plot is most exciting. and like the dia-
logue-
You should take the thing to Providence and
try it on dog'
McCambridge organized troupe. including
many a name
Unknown alike to guileless me, to Riches and
to Fame.
A pompous man whose name was Rae was
Nestor of this troupe
Amphibious, he was quite at home outside or
in the soup!
The way McCambridge billed hlm-wf1y, such
dreams in red and green
Had ne'er before upon the boards Of Yankee
dom been seen;
And my proud name was heraided-oh. that
I'd gone incog,
When we took that play to Providence to try It
on dogl
Shall forget the awful day we struck that
wretched town?
Yet in what melting irony the treacherous sun
beamed down!
The sale of seats had not been Large, but then
McCambridge said
The factory people seldom bought their seats
And Rae indorsed McCambridge. SO they part
ly set at rest
The natural misgivings that perturbed my
youthful breast;
For wondered and lamented that the town
was not agog
When took my play to Providence to try 1t
on dog.
They never came at alfalfa! knew 1t all the
time
They never came to see and hear my tragedy
sublime!
Oh, fateful moment when the curtain rose on
o moment fateful to the soul for wealth and
fame athirst!
But lucky factory girls and boys to stay away
that night
When the authors fervid soul was touched by
disappointments blight
When desolation settled down on me like some
dense fog
For having tempted Providence and tried it on
dog!
Those actors did not know their parts-they
maundered to and fro,
calculating platitudes that were quite NAL
apropos;
And when sought to reprimand the graceless
scamps, the lot
Turned fiercely on me and denounced my
charming play as rot
might have stood their bitter taunts without
passing grunt
II I'd had word of solace from the people out
in 'front.'
But that chilly corporal's guard sat round like
bumps upon log,
When 1 played that day at Providence with
designs upon the dog!
We went with lots Of baggage. but we didn't
bring it back,
For who would be so hampered he walks a
railway track?
20 ruthless muse Of tragedy! what prodigies
of shame
What marvels of injustice are committed in
thy name!'
