Some interesting details have just

wont to exhibit it with pride to his con-

Hawaiian Princess who had embraced
Christianity, insisted on proceeding to
the volcano and defying the wrath of
Pele. Her husband and friends tried to
dissuade her, she was met by an ancient
prisstess who pronounced destruction on
her head; but the intrepid woman would
not yield. She led her little band of eighty
followers across the crater, many OF them
weak and in fear of immediate death.
Then on the edge of Halemaumau she

II is also alleged, as matter of correc.

A JOLLY PICNIC.

A picnic party went out to Riverside last
evening, and it was one of the jOlliest
crowds yet to enliven the woods and make
shadows in the waters DER which the
boats glided, for rowing was one of the
chief pastimes. Hammocks were swung
to the trees. races were pooled, and several
wonderful feats of speed were exhibited
lowering the record beyond all precedent.
Games were inaugurated and intense ex-
element prevailed. Refreshments of
choice and savory styles were opened on
cloths under the trees and all were happy
in storytelling and in songs. The party
was chaperoned by Miss Eva Simpson,
Maggie Simpson and Villa Rhea. In fact,
the crowd composed the class OF Miss Eva
Simpson at the Central Christian church,
aud consisted of the following: Misses Iva

Happy Randall, Nellie Prowell, Nancy

Jennie Tripiet, Mary Triplet; Messrs john

SHE HAD NERVE.

Judge McCandless is philosopher and
learned another lesson from the book of
human nature yesterday. He was sitting
in his easy chair in the county attorneys
office, with his thoughts equally divided
between chicken thieves and fuslonIsts,
when the rustic of a lady's dress was
heard at the door, and in marched a female
with the stately tread of another Joseph
inc. He asked her to take seat, and in
dictated his desire to serve her as the legal
representative OF the county, and to his
great surprise he listened to prayer for
aid. She said she understood that he was
the deputy county attorney, and that he
was the man who dispensed charity to the
poor. and wound up by saying that she
didn't have stitch of clothes
to put on her back. The judge
looked at her elegant dress over the
rimf of his spectacles and begged .her to
explain to him whether the fact that he
considered her not ouly dressed, but we'll

"Why," she said Indignantly, ''do you
think that | would come up here without
anything on? These Old rags are good
enough for every day, but l want Sun

over his spectacles and with glance forty
degrees below zero, he informed her that
the kind of suits she wanted are not the
kind of suits he is attending to as the
deputy legal representative of the county,

telegraphed back with their characteristic
nerve to the secretary OF the typographical
union stating that they had lost their

here they were hiariously full and when
they arrived in Kansas City they were still
