The Northern Light Sailor Told
Another Gauzy Story in San
Francisco.
John R. Griffith, the Northern
Light sailor whose startling confess
sion was published in the ADvER-
TIsER and copied in all the Cali
fornia papers, has been declared in
sane by his relatives. He has been
in an asylum on four occasions, and
some months ago he came to the
San Francisco Chronicle office, says
that journal, with blood-curdling
yarn about plot to ship on a
whaler, murder the captain and
hoist the black flag for a piratical
cruise. There were all the Access
series of pistols and knives well
hidden, Of oaths to bind the con-
spirators and so on. Griffith only
wanted to be protected from the
vengeance of his associates whom
he proposed to betray. The leader
in the plot, he said, was John R.
Griffith, dangerous young des-
perado. The narrator was recog-
nized and finally admitted that he
was Griffith, and that the alleged
conspirators were his cousins, his
purpose in telling the story having
been to gain notoriety and annoy
his respectable relatives.

A ROYAL PIANO.
Her Majesty is Presented with a
Handsome Instrument.

Her Majesty the Queen was pre-
sented with a handsome and valu-
able piano yesterday. The presen-
tation took place in the throne
room of the Palace, and was made
by Messrs. John Phillips, ]. H.
Soper and j. F. Hackfeld, the COM
mittee appointed for that purpose.
The following description of the
piano is taken from a New York
journal:
"There is now on exhibition in the
warerooms of Messrs. j. and G..
Fischer, 10 Fifth Avenue, rare
specimen of one of the firms grand
pianos, made to order for Queen
Liliuokalani, of Hawaii. 1t is made
of native wood sent here for that
purpose, the log having come from
the Sandwich Islands, and the
veneers having been sawed here.
The wood is called koa, and belongs
to the mahogany family, but much
of the texture has the appearance of
walnut, the figuration and general
character of it being an odd mixture
of both woods. Worked out and
fitted and finished as it has been by
Me5srs. Fischer, it is a marvellously
beautiful wood adapted for the case
of grand piano.
son the front and inner side of
the fall board the royal coat of arms
and insignia are artistically painted
with effect, and the piano will prove
an adornment to the Royal Palace at
Honolulu, whence it will be shipped
after February 1st.
"The tone of this Fischer grand is
exquisite, the touch refined, and in
its musical qualities it supports the
original criticism expressed by this
paper on these grands."

School Notes.

The young ladies of the Clionian
Club will give an exercise in the high
school room next Tuesday evening.
The program is given elsewhere in
this paper.
Our young people are making mark
ed strides in the direction of prepara-
ton for citizenship by giving atten-
ton to debating. The young men of
the Lyceum League two weeks ago
publicly debated the National bank
question. The CliOnian Club have
two debates by members of their club
in prospect.
The Lyceum League meets. weekly
now on Tuesday evening. 4 general
debate and study of parliamentary
law fill the evening. The young men
are becoming quite fearless debat-
ers.
AT the last weekly meeting of the
Lyceum League the Tariff question
was most ably handled by Messrs.
Henderson, Eshbaugh, Scott, Grubbs,
Freeman in favor of a protective tar
if and Messrs. GrOcsbeck, Jordan,
BOwlus, and Servey in favor of tariff
for revenue only.
A large picture of columbus at
the Court of Spain" has recently been
added to the decorations of the High
School room.
This year, as last, the pupils will on
next Wednesday bring offerings to
the school building to be distributed
amOug Iola's less fortunate in order to
insure that all may enjoy Thanks
giving.
The teachers will contribute q
quarter of fresh beef. Patrons of the
schools are invited to the building
Wednesday afternoon to see what
earnest young people can do in the
way Of being generous.
An alarm of fire caused some little
excitement in the school Thursday
morning. The residence of Mrs.
Evans near the school house was
found to have caught fire from "de-
fective flue." The boys of the high
school were dismissed and soon ex-
tinguished the flames. Little damage
was done

Tho weather and the Relief Corps
entertainment Tuesd ay evening COM
bined to diminish the size of the aud
fence who assembled on Wednesday
evening at the Opera House to solve
the mystery of Mondamin. 1t was
discovered that Mondamin is the
Indian corn, or maize, and the audi
ence found assembled upon the stage
a party of young people to celebrate
the..festival of Mondamus by an old
fashioned husking bee. The hosts
were Unkle Zeke-whose auburn locks
and ringing tones soon betrayed
Percy Harris-and Aunt Jemimah, in
whom was easily recognized Miss
Eunice Jennings. Having got the
husking under way, the guests pre-
vailed upon Priscilla,a city cousin i'm
personated by Miss Anna Moore, to
''speak piece" which she did in
manner that was uproariously COM
mended by her audience. Next they
wished Margaret Holstead another
city cousin who looked like Miss Nell
lie Shelter to sing song, which she
consented to do if Rachel, represented
by Miss Beulah Reimert, would play
the fiddle" and they would all "jOin
in on the chorus.n Next Unkle Zeke
fondly informed them that "his dar-
ter Tabithy" could speak better than
anybody, and those who have heard
Miss Clara Welch speak before are
inclined to believe him. When Miss
WEIGH had finished, someone suggest
ed that "Sallie kin sing" and the
company then clamored for Sallie.
Miss Lola Shelter responded in her
usual pleasing manner. The rest of
the entertainment was a piece of
"punkin pie" all around which may
be said to have been performed prin-
cipaliy by Will Hankins, as Sam
Smith-"fresh from the Green noun
tains-v very fresh" Then the old game
of "Weevily Wheat" closed the eve
ming. AS the patronage of the supper
tables was very poor the ladies
announced that they would serve din
ner at the same place Thursday noon
to dispose of their good things.

several years, having given his heart
to Jesus when quite young. He was
also member of the Epworth League
and is the first one of its members
called to the other shore, as it is also
the first break in his class of boys in
the Sunday School.
He will he sadly missed in the
church s. S. and in the school of
which he has been so earnestly striv-
ing to gain an education, but above
all in the home which is so bereft, but
Christ alone can heal the wounded
hearts. He was the first of the family
taken and is waiting on the golden
shore for the others, father, mother,
and three brothers. The funeral
services were held at the family resi-
dence Monday. conducted by Rev.
White of Humboldt assisted by Rev.
Budd of Buffalo. The floral offerings
were beautiful.
The remains were followed to their
last resting place in the Maple Grove
Cemetery, by a large number of SYM
pathiziDg relatives, his teacher, Mrs.
Estey, the members of his class i'm the
Humboldt school, and many other
friends. We extend to the family our
heartfelt sympathy.
Dear Wallace thou hast left us,
Here thy loss we deeply feel.
But It's God that has bereit us.
He can all our sorrows heal"
