Williamsburg avenue.
Mr.. William G. Armitage also spoke I'm
FAVOR or placing a Waterman at that
crossing.
Col. Cutshaw stated that he had MOTH
Ing further TO say besides his previous
explanation. The principal question in his
estimation was how to prevent people
from being injured by passing trains II
Waterman was placed on top of the
trestle he might not be noticed in time
by passers-by. and II would be the most
advantageous thing to run gates across
the avenue.
Senator Wickham explained that the
railroad company had only recently wild
ened the street and put M solid stone
abutments for the trestle at an expense Of
about $500. There were eleven other
head crossings in various parts Of the
city. and the one in question was the
only one complained Of. If gates were put
up II might be possible that man be
caught in between them, which would be
worse then to have no gates at all
The Chair advocated that a gong be
placed on the trestle work to notify pass
ers-by of the arrival OF trains.
Mr.. Carter wanted to know whether the
city could be held liable for any accident
occurring there. II the committee should
decide the placing of a Waterman unne-
cessary.
City Attorney Meredith did not think
that any such question could be sustained
IN court. He advocated the removal Of
the nigh fence between the two tracks
and that a sign be suspended from the
tresue. cautioning the people against the
danger Of crossing.
The chairman suggested that the ques-
tion as 10 the placing Of a Waterman be
laid over until the meeting Of the commit
tee on the 18th instant This was agreed
TO.
Mr. Stratton moved that the railroad
company be instructed 10 take down the
high fence between the two tresties.
While the vote was being taken on the
question. the matter was laid over until
the 18th instant, on motion Of Mr. carter
At the close OF the meeting Mr.. King
invited the members Of the committee TO
visit his mill where he showed them a

The Lions Taste.

Mr.. selous, having spent twenty.one
years in Africa, has lately returned to
Lon Ion from Mashonaland. Mr.. selous
confessed that he had killed 100 ele-
plants and twenty-five lions. His best lion
story was,about mail carrier in Mash
onaland. The man in question was rid
ing one horse and leading another
(which carried the mails) when the lion
made his appearance and his spring. The
latter demoralized the mail COM
pletely. One horse was bowled over,
the other broke away without its rider,
and the mail carrier very naturally lost all
interest in the mail.
The lion did not succeed in OBTAINING
either of the horses (they turned up next
day at the fort, one very badly wounded
and without the mail bags, 80 he
returned to the unfortunate carrier.
Him the lion treed, and then sat down at
the foot of the tree to await develop
ments. Fortunately for the carrier they
did not develop entirely as the lion
could have wished, for the next day a
caravan passed, and the lion stalked
away into the bush, doubtless with an
increased contempt for the re6nements
of civilization. The mail bags were not
found for months afterwards.
"Are lions fond of man meat7"
"No," said Mr.. Selous, "they prefer
donkeys. I think the donkeys remind
them of zebras. They have no distaste
for horses. But they will attack human
beings. I once knew a lion to walk
into camp where I was staying and
walk off with one OF the policemen.
I've brought his skin bome-the lions.

Hawaii, the main one of the group Of
twelve islands, is about 2100 miles west
BY south of San Francisco. Fast steam.
ship lines now run from Honolulu to ssn
Francisco. The islands stretch out for
distance of $50 miles in the Pacific,
but only eight of them are inhabited.
These have total area of 6640 square
miles, as follows: Hawaii, 4210 square
mics; Maui, 760; Oahu, 600; Kauai,
500; Molokai, 270; Ranai, 100; Nihau,
81: Kahoolswe, SO. ....r...
Each of the islands used to have its
own dusky king and be little world to
itself. About the year 1900, however,
there was an old chap struggling under
the name of Kamehameha pronounced as
spe!led,) who, like Alexander the Great,
s'sighed for more worlds to conquer.
He made up his mind that he would
conquer all the other worlds he knew
about, the Hawaiian Islands, and this he
proceeded to,do with neatness and dis.
patch, and made himself King Of them
all. Ever since the monarchy has pre-
vailed, though the royal family has been
in very bad way from the time that
American enterprise began to assert itself
on the islands.
There have been many revolutions,
but the reIgning family has stood against
them, though its power has been taken
away from time to time by the granting
to the people of such constitutional
rights as the revolutionists demanded.
The islands have a very mixed popu.
lation, owing to the great demand tor
cheap labor that resulted from the de-
velopment Of the sugar industry. nthe
aggregate there are less than 100, 600
people there, and the major portion OF
these are on the big island of Hawaii.
The increase In the past ten years has
been about Is, 900, the annual increase
beng about 1900. This increase has
been very largely due to the excess OF
the immigration to these shores over the
emigration, and not to natural increase,
which has been slow because OF the small
number of the female population as COM
pared with males. OF the population
about As, 900 are natives and half breeds,
1000 are japanese, 13, 900 are Chinese,

Many believe that in another genera
ton or two the native stock will become
extinct. The natives are called Kama
kas and are of a Malay Polynesian race,
much like the Maoris of New Zealand,
and like them they are dying out from
the ravages Of infectious diseases, and
especially from drink, which, since the
lamented King Kalakaua removed the
tariff on it, has resulted in great pauper.
ism and mortality. Though these ns-
tives have had the Scriptures among
them for years, and have professed
Christianity, a great many OF them still
retain much of the barbarism of their
fathers.

I supposed the dead person belonged
to some old family like the Astors or
Bleeckers, and that it was desired to lay
the body beside those who had been dear
in life.
Hence, although my eyes followed
Colonel Cain, it was with the same idle
curiosity that believed him guilty Of.
Had shock of electricity been hurled
upon US we could not have sprung into
more active life.
I was Influenced. of course, by the
action of the Colonel.
He uttered a sharp cry, and saw b
look of intense surprise and horror leap
into his face, as his eyes became glued
upon the object in the coffin.
I sprang to my feet, interested by his
action, for he seemed to be waving OF
some spirit hand that was trying to grasp
his throat
aGreat powers! 1t is he!"
As a sudden thought fashUd into my
brain, sprang forward and took the
sburning candle from his unresisting
hand.
Then bent over the coffin.
My suspicious were realized! A strange
fate had brought about this climax, for

In 1889 the expectation 4of sugar toa
the United States amounted To 24S,-i
100000 pounds. The islands got a
blow from the McKinlsy bill Ia the pro-
vision admitting all sugar free Of duty.a
This reduced the profits Of the HawsiinI
planters so that many plantations hare
been ruined aud wages have been rel
duced by about one-third, while the cost
Of staple food products there has BEEN
high. The crisis was beneficial, how-|
ever, in that it caused activity in other
industries than sugar raising. which
could be made highly profitable IN that
country. The coffee plantations, which5
had been neglected, received care againsi|
as were the rice fields and vineyards sud1
the raising Of cattle and sheep. Thel
