ROYAL BALL,
Her Majesty Enterta MS at Iolani

Ia Honox of the Members of the
Legislative Assembly
Brilliant Gathering.

Yesterday evening Her Majesty
the Queen gave q ball at Iolani
Palace in honor of the Mobiles and
Representatives of the Legislative
Assembly The interior of the
throne-room presented very
beautiful sight On the dais stood
several gorgeous kahilis, and ever
green's were entwined so as to
make the effect very pretty from a
distance In the centre was a
handsome chair, occupied by Her
Majesty, who was attired in a
handsome costume of black, and
wearing several orders. The crys-
tai electric light chandeliers shone
brightly, and from the mirrors were
suspended vines. The grand hall
looked beautiful in its floral decor
atoms, Half-past 5 o'clock was
the hour named on the invitation
for the ball to commence, and
panctually at that hour Her
Majesty entered the throne-roon
and took her seat on the dais. To
the right of the Queen were their
Royal Highnesses the Princes
kawananakoa and Kalaninaole,
His Honor the Chief Justice and
their Excellencies S. Parker, c. n.

Her Maiesty's Chamberlain,
Hon. j. w. Robertson, was assidu-
Gus in his attention to the invited
guests, and great credit is due him
for the success of the ball, for
indeed it was most success
full affair. The Invitations were
limited, and as 81 consequence
there was plenty of room to move
around. One of the features of the
evening was the dancing of
the minuet which was a most de-
lightful innovation and thoroughly
enjoyed by all present. Those

swamp we heard the report Of q rife on
ahead, quickly followed by another. Then
there arose the widest kind of shouts In the
swamp, and as we went in we saw two
hunters dancing and yelling around the car
cass OF an immense bear that lay in the
snow. The hunters discovered US.
We've got himin they shouted. We've
gathered In Tricky Boliver at last
I'VE hurried In, Gale Grips in the lead.
There they beP Caleb hollered. Il
know'd it. There they beP
with that Caleb dropped down In the
snow by the side of the bear and made a
grab for one OF his feet. Then we discov-
cred that the bear had a boot on each one OF
his four feet
1.-THE cunnin' old oussr exclaimed our
guide. Its like murder, KILN that bear.
wat did it meant Why Tricky Bolivar
seeing that we were pressing him close, had
seen the door of Caleb Grips cabin open
and jumped inside. When he came out
agin he made bear tracks no IN )rs, for he
had put on two pair OF Caleb's hunting
boots and marching ahead had left the trail
Of two hunters in the snow instead of his
own. He threw US completely off, and if
Caleb Grips hadn't come up Just as he did,
and the two hunters hadn't happened to be
in the swamp when old Boliver was making
for it. nothing could ever have convinced
Kitson county that Caleb hadn't violated
sacred etiquette and killed the bear he knew
we were after, and there is no telling what
the consequences would have been to him.
So that is why / am shyer than ever Of cir
cumstantial evidence, and tnat is why, also
that believe there never was a smarter
bear than Tricky Bolivar of Kitsop county. "

ne decided to keep 10 himself, as he found
nothing more alarming. The workmen
again attacked the structure, but scream
burst from the interior that caused them TO
drop their picks Ia dismay. The voice was
That OF a woman in danger, and to Halls
call for volunteers TO go 70 her rescue, the
men, armed with their tools, dashed into
the ruin.
Nothing was to be seen except the pool of
blood, which grew before their very eyes.
As they gazed the print Of feet, outlined 10
blood, formed close beside them, though the
foot that made the mark was invisible. The
workmen, overcome with horror, sprang for
the door and made their escape. One, by
name Samuel Moseby. declares that as he
cleared the door he ran through the figure
Of a woman, clad in long white dress and
with great bleeding wound in her breast.
Deserted by his men, Hall still determined
TO see the thing out, and. cooking both re-
volvers, waited Developments. Presently
he saw watching him from a doorway a
priestly figure, that eyed him in grave dis
pleasure. who are youp Hall cried, COW
ering him with his pistols; but receiving no
answer he repeated the question, adding
that if the visitor did not clear out he would
fire. The spectral monk paying no heed to
the warning, Hall blazed away, with no
apparent result. for the figure continued to
gaze at him rnmoved.
Hall saw the bullets SILVER the woodwork
behind the figure. and convinced that be
bad to deal with no mortal foe, broke and
ran from the place. The ghosts, or what
ever it is that hold the ruin, are once more
left in possession until the eastern syndicate
finds another agent that will undertake to
drive them out. Hall declares that he would
not enter the building again for the wealth
Of Mexico. He says il any one doubts the
truth of his story they have only to pass
a night in the place. The story, 20 say the
least OF it, is qneer one though many re-
fuse to accept a supernatural explanation
Of it, none of the skeptics, however, offer
ing to prove the contrary by venturing to
GUST the troublesome tenants. 1t is under
stood that the Society of Psychical Re-
search will send a committee to investigate
the matter, though any outsider is more
than welcome to do the same.

Educate ohildren to High Ideals.

We are too ready to impart instruc-
ton to children from low moods and on
low plane, because we do not ourselves
habitually dwell in the latitude of the
uplands. Motives of policy, Of vanity,
of seeming instead of being right, enter
into our own lives and, alasi poison the
lives of the little ones at the fountain.
A grand life, brave example, spien-
did instance of fortitude, of self abnega-
ton, of courage against odds is never in
vain. 1t is an object lesson that flames
out from the sky, as the planet amid the
host of lesser stars. Whether it be al
arctic or an African explorer, the leader
of a forlorn hope, the missionary living
among the island lepers, or the army
nurse, leaving home and luxury to min
lister to the wounded and soothe the
dying, the noble ideal is uplifted before
the eyes of those who are yet in the ia
itial stages, and whose characters are
not yet in the mold of destiny
This thought of the lofty ideal gives
the chief value of our annual Decoration
Day, giving us pause amid the pomp and
ease of peace, that we may think not OF
the pageantry Of war, but of its suffer
ings, its fever and thirst, its rigors of
cold and furnace heats, its weary
marches, fierce battles and the patriot
ism which alone condones its bitter woe
and the mourning that follows in it's
track.-Harper's Bazaar.

Powerful Indian Air Guns.

The Indians along the Mirida river
ehunt with blow guns made out of the
young stalks of a certain kind of palm,
from which the pith is removed. The
arrows employed as projectiles are sim
ply splinters of reed, sharpened at one
end, the other end being wrapped with
enough silk cotton obtained from another
kind of palm to fill up the bore of the
blow gun. The arrows are about ten
inches long and very light. They are
tipped with the famous and deadly
''woorari" poison.
Used by one, of these naked savages
the blow gun is a weapon of great accu-
racy and effectiveness, even a small bird
on treetop being brought down by the
skilled shooter with reasonable certainty
at the first try Interview in Washing
ton Star.

How the vends Dance.

The serska reja is a pantomimic dance.
Each couple has its own turn ofleading.
The cavalier places his partner in front
Of him, facing her, and while the band
keeps playing and the company singing
one of those peculiarly stirring Wendish
dance tunes he sets about adjuring her
to grant him his desire and dance with
him. She stands stock still, her arms
hanging down flop by her side. The
cavalier capers about, shouts, strikes
his hands against his thighs, kneels,
touches his heart-with the more dra-
matte force the better. At length the
lady gives way, and in token of consent
raises her hand.
Briskly do the two spin around now
for the space-of eight bars, after which
for.eight more they perform something
like a cross between chassez eroise7
and a jig, and so on for a little while
after which the whole company joins in
the same performance. AS finish the
cavalier islands" the band and his part
ner some liquor, and merry round
dance concludes his turn of leading tc
the accompaniment of tune and song

A Curious Salvage Case.

Perhaps the most curious salvage case
ON record is that of theship Two Friends,
which stranded on the ,coasto of Cuba and
was abandoned by her crew. Another
ship, the John Blake, met a similar fate,
and her crew, in attempting to find a
landing place, came across the Two
Friends, which they managed to get off
and to navigate to England without fur
ther mishap. The judge who tried the
case decided that salvage services had
been rendered, but of only ordinary diff
Guilty and merit, inasmuch as the, crew
of the John Blake salved the Two
Friends in order to save their own lives.
The owners Of the John Blake of course
got nothing, but the salving crew re-
ceived $3.50 out of the total value of
