An Isle Where the Natives Retain
Their Primitive Simplicity.

An Isle Where the Natives Retain
Their Primitive Simplicity.
Seattle Letter TO ST. Louis Globe Democrat
Though missionaries have been laboring
for years on the Fiji Islands. and the large
European settlement at Suwa. has served to
spread civilized customs, yet there is one Of
the islands never visited by travellers, where
the natives still retain their pristine sim
plicity. On this island, Lambesse, an En-
gltsh company has just secured 5000
acres OF land, which is being cleared for a
sugar plantation. Lambesse lies back of
Suwa, and to reach 1t ship has to sail
through very difficult pass of the great
sea roof. The schooner Corsair, which took
load OF lumber from here to the sugar
company, has just returned and Capt. Will
iarn Colby tells some interesting stories OF
these Fijians.
I'VE found them, " said he, going around
just as Adam and Eve did-stark naked.
80 far as we could see. neither sex felt the
slightest shame. Our vessel was a great Gu
rioslty, and as she lay in the harbor hun
dreds OF them came swimming and clam
6ered all over the deck and rigging.
They would always come in a party of O
dozen or more, and they would make
a great splashfng in order to scare
away the sharks. These monsters will
attack one man, but they are fright
ened away by the noise of many. Most of
the uen have but one wife, though the
chiefs sometimes have more. The women
are chaste. When they swarmed up the
side OF the vessel the sailors we're much
amused, but il any one attempted the
slightest liberty with q woman she would
jump over the rail and swim ashore
lone day the queen and dozen OF her
court ladies swan out to u.s. She differed
from them only in that she wore about her
waist girdle with a small apron woven of
some sort of fibre. IUffered her pound of
tobacco for it, and without the slightest
hesitation she took it of and gave it to me.
The natives are very foud of tobacco, and
pay in that form is about the only thing that
will induce them TO work. There is no need
OF clothing, and if they open their mouths
food will fall in. At frat 1 was very con-
scientious about giving full pounds of to-
Dacco. but when my supply ran short [ be.
gan giving two plugs for pound. was
surprised that no objection was made to the
short weight until l found that the mis-
sloneries give only one plug for pound.
The missionaries have not produced any
deep effect. though the natives are very
pious and go to church several times a day.
Church dues are collected. not in money
but In produce, and the church is known in
the native tongue by the material in which
the revenues are paid. Thus, the English
cnuroh Is the cocoanut meat church; the
Prsshyterians have the cocoanut oil church,
and the Catholics the dried she'll fish
church,

The young man walked back TO where the

What do you think now!n he asked in an
aggravating way.
The bridge man did not answer this ques-
tion. Instead he kicked the rubber vicious
ly and sent it flying into a retired corner,
and then he went about his business.
Presently the train moved of with the
young man with the big foot in the front

young man thought she was the prettlest

Suddenly look OF surprise came over the

survey OF her feet, which one otter the
other she pushed out from under her
slightly-uplifted skirt They did not look
at all like mates. One of them was clad in

the young man aocosted her and told her of
his interview with the bridge man.
IF you will wait for me at the New York

The young woman protested: az couldn't

Arriving at Brooklyn. be rushed down
one flight Of stairs and up the other to get
from the stopping place TO the starting
place, and at once dived into the corner
where he had seen the rubber thrown by
the bridge man. He found the dainty little
thing, picked 1t up, hoped on a train with

metropolis. At the New York end be

man with the rubber.

From the NeI0 York Sunday Advertiser.
A human being, woman, is kept in a
cage at No. 800 Bowery, and shown to men
at ) cents each. The woman is only a female
in the physical sense. She is an idiot. No
more pitiable, no more revolving spectacle
can be imagined than the sight of that
caged-up creature, and the crowd Of men
around her, watching her mimicry and
laughing at her jabberings.
Outside the building, after the manner Of
catchpenny, so-called "museums,n are
gaudiiy painted pictures, intended to show
the scenes attending the capture of fero-
cious wild grip by sailors, one of whom is
dragging his captive toward boat, while
other similarly unclad wild girls are fleeing
madly toward a group of palm trees in the
distance. pursued by other sailors Within
the window hangs a huge placard. on which
is inscribed the following notice:

A GRANGER PLUNGER

Leaves Creditors to Battle Over an
Amount of Assets Very Largely Short OF
His Liabilities.
FARGO, N. D., Dec. 17.-Sherbrooke,
Steele county, is excited over the disap-
pearance of Charles Haltiner. who
went there from Detroit in the fall of
1890, as common laborer. He rented
the farm of j. j. Bigbee and the follow
ing winter went heavily in debt, buy
ing stock and machinery. The crop of
1879; was a very good one, so he pulled
through. Last spring he plunged still
deeper in debt. Strange as it seems,
the bankers and all the business men
had faith in him and took his paper
without inquiry. His operations ex-
tended into Trail, Grand Forks, Nell
son and Griggs counties.
The crash had to come at last. Crops
were short this fall and he was unable
to meet his obligations. The chattel
mortgages against him aggregate in
the neigh borhood of 100000. He had
some $50, 900 or $40, 600 of securities
taken for horses he had sold which
were mostly deposited with the banks
as collateral, but collections were slow
coming in. In consequence he was
forced to the wall. For the last couple
of days there has been great scramble
for the property. The bankers and
number of merchants and other bust
ness men of Mayville, Portland, North
wood and Cooperstown are involved.
HaItiner has not been seen since last
Saturday.

THE POPE iRRiTATED

At the Attacks Monsignor SatoIli
Through the Church Press of the United
States.
ROME. Dec 16.-Much irritation ex-
lists at the vatican on account of the at
lacks made by certain American Cath
olic journals on the person and the
mission of Mgr. Satolli. 1t is learned
that as regards the opposition made to
the policy of the pope, the vatican may
cause an inquiry to made into it's
origin. The holy father is DESTROYS
that his agent shall be respected. and
that his views of pacification in the
United States shall be followed. If
there be any need of it. the pope will
in this instance also take severe meas
ures with those who oppose his inter-
vention. It is believed that the vati-
can knows whence the hostile American
criticisms proceed.
