Down the street through the busy way
A lady passed on marketing day.
Who, pausing at grocery store,
Stepped quickly in at the open door.
With bated breath and anxious mien
She quered: "have you CoTTOLENt2'
The grocer, leaving off his work.
Intercepted every clerk;
But none up to that time had seen
An article called COTTOLENE.
what is it," said he to the dame,
THAT answers to this curious name.
What is it made OFF, What's its use?
Ny ignorance you please excuse.
"You're not the merchant for my dimes,
| see you're quite behind the times.
For COTToLENE, I'd have you know,
Is now the thing that's all the go,
An article of high regard;
A healthful substitute for lard
Its composition pure and clean;
For cooking give me COTTOLENE.'
AS from his store the lady fled,
The grocer gently scratched his head
On his next order, first was seen,
"One dos1n ea5es Co7TOLEAE."

The Orangemen's Celebration.

REYNOLDS, July l3.-Yesterday at
Little's grove. nor-h OF Prescription.
the 203d anniversary Of the battle OF
the Boyne was celebrated by the Rev
nolds lodge OF the Orangemen. About
: o'clock in the morning the people
began to gather al Reynolds. At 9
O'Clock long procession moved out
Of town headed by Jim Venable fol-
lowed by a great big wagon drawn by
four horses containing some 20 or 80
little girls. Then came Big joe
and Rev. Davenport bearing banners
In God We Trust and mo Sur
render
At the grounds was the largest as
semblage Of people that have attend
ed the picnic for years. There were
people from Rock Island, Moline. Mi
Ian. Aledo and for miles around.
Ringing speeches were made by Revs.
Davenport and Brink and others.
The speech Of Mr.. Davenport was a
mastery effort Of over an hours du-
ration. Rev. Davenport has acquired
considerable notorietv "a a speaker.
Taken altogether this was the most
successful celebration held for a
number Of years

A FEARFUL THREAT.
1t Brought a Grew of Boisterous Sea-
men to Their Senses.


men to Their Senses.
In the British navy sailors are often
in the same ship for three or four, or
even more years During this time
their craft is their home. and they
speak of it as such. and with an affec-
ton as if it were living thing. By
means of the ship the men may be
wonderfully influenced. The late Cap
tan Hall was in command of a re-
markedly fine frigate on the South
American station, of which he and his
crew were justly proud
The handsome bust on her beautiful
fgurehead was brightly gilt, and
great care was taken of it The har-
mony which had generally prevailed
on board was somehow disturbed.
But instead Of resorting to corporeaI
punishment, the captain summoned
the men aft, and in simple. manly
speech, pointed out the improperly Of
their conduct, and concluded thus:
so now, my lads, if this be not put
an end to, and hearty goodwill re-
stored, I'll blackea your fgurehead
and put the ship in mourning
Had a bombshell fallen at their feet
the men could not have been more as
tonished. To have their fgurehead
blackened. No, anything rather than
that, and in this way order and har-
mOny were restored

TRYING THEIR LUCK.
A Curious Book, Iun of Nonsense, Pos
sessed by the Neapolitans.

sessed by the NeapoIitans.
1t will be remembered that in 1888
there was great earthquake in Ischia,
an island in the bayOf Naples. Thou
sands of people were killed and hurt,
some buried alive for days Well, the
Neapolitans Were very generous in
sending aid to Isc1ia. But they were
also extremely brisk in referring to a
little book of numbers with which
they are a great deal more intimate
than with anything else in the shape
of literature
This little bool, is a curious, non
sensical piece of work-a string of
common and abstract nouns. adjec-
tives, etc, with number attached to
them, such words, for example. as
king" queen, bread war"
famine" husband. 10y" cat"
dog" etc 1t is the lottery mongers'
wade mecum.
When, therefore. the calamity of
lschia was heard of, the Neapolitans
Immediately turned up the word
earthquake" in the precious little
book This was the foundation num-
Der of the series of three, which con-
stitutes ''terno. To complete the
series some chose one word some an
other, more or less opposite TO the oc-
casion-such as the day of the week
and the day OF the month, or the num-
Der corresponding to death" and
island" The obi thing was that
when Saturday arrived '-terno" came
out that actually brought a good deal
of money into ~asioUs Neapolitan
homes

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1893-04-06

The public disavowal made by the
parsonage, then at the head of the state,
of her obligations to govern by the
Constitution, and her attempt to gov
ern by force of her own personal
proclamation, could not be ignored
because she was afterwards induced to
sign a retraction of her revolutionary
purpose. There was no doubling that
the original plan was still in mind,
awaiting the earliest opportunity to
carry it out. In the statement recently
given by her authority for publication
in the United States, she claims that
she had right to do what she attempt
ed, in order to crafty the natives
That statement, of itself, is ample proof
that she did not regard herself as
bound by Constitutional obligations
She is even made to intimate in that
remarkable document that the Chief
Justice misled her into taking oath to
support the Constitution of 1887.
1t is singular that those who pre-
pared that paper did not see that the
only thing which had made the Queen
a Constitutional Sovereign was that
very Constitution of 1887, and that it
was only by her swearing to support it
that she was qualified" to reign.
Her whole story shows that there is
more than one way for a sovereign to
Iabdicate
