has the colorin to mock and while
there's frost enough, alas! there is no
"fodder in the shock" So. incredible
as it may seem, this poem an English
man can appreciate little more than the
labored jokes in Punch amuse us.
Mr.. Riley is but thirty-nine years old,
yet he has been a poet of local note for
twenty years aud of national fame
nearly as long. He got his experience
early, and got it fresh from man and
nature. Born in Greenfield, Hancock
county, Ind, and designed by his we'll to
do father for business or professional
man, he good naturally kicked over the
traces while still in school and took
mp the trade of a travelling sign painter.
In this line he acquired all the phrases
Of the streets, the woods and the fields.
He started in literature the master OF
two languages-English and "Hoosier."
Perhaps the most elaborate joke he
ever perpetrated was a poem in imita-
ton of Edgar A. Poe, which went the
rounds as a newly discovered produc-
ton of that poet, and deceived as cute
critic as William Cullen Bryant. 1t
was in 1876 that his pieces began to at
tract attention in the papers, and he has
since 1880 been recognized as the lead
ing dialect poet of the country.
Mr.. S. w. Foss, The Yankee Blade
man, as he is called, is admittedly the
foremost rival of Mr.. Riley in the line
of dialect poetry. His biography is as
yet brief He was born in Gambia, n.
H., June 10, 1858, and was graduated
from Brown university in 1882, stand
ing, as he says, Every near the end of the
class He was also class poet. While
editing the Lynn (Mass.) Union he was
to get mp a humorous column
in great hurry one day. and to his as
rs much as any other mans,
it 'took." He became editor of The
Yankee Blade in 1897.

houses being reduced to ashes. While
the flames were raging, some soldiers
prowled about to snatch things from

at which it was resolved to file

a Kick From Kona.

Mr.. EDITOR: With such able
men at the head of the new Pro-
visional Government, it was hoped
that only competent and reliable
men would be appointed to Office,
and that the days of appointing
dummies and figure-heads to adj
minister public justice was at an
end; but the commissioning of
Henry Hail, as District Judge for
South Kona, has filed everyone in
the district with surprise and dis
gust. How this mans name ever
reached the Executive is a mystery,
and it would seem those who made
the appointment must have been
misinformed or were entirely ignor-
ant of his qualifications.
He is man of very little educa-
ton, who has neither position or
property, not even house of his
own, and is entirely ignorant of law
and Court proceedings, and only
known here as an orange peddler
about the wharves.
1t would seem that the public
had right to demand that capable
and reliable men should be APP
pointed to judicial offices, and not
men who have no knowledge of
their own and will be obliged to
hire others to do their work, and
thus leave the public at the mercy
of smart and designing rascals.
More especially as these judges
have the acquittal or committal
in all criminal cases, thus putting
property-owners in very unsafe
position.
The appointment of such a man
as judge is burlesque and dis
grace to the office and an insult to
the residents of South Kona, when
we have able and good men to fill
5he position.
Hoping we are not going back to
he days when public offices were
given as rewards, without regard to
character or qualification.
Yours truly,
]. D. PARIS.

THE yellow FLAG.
Arrival of the BeIsic With
Smallpox ON Board.

The o. & o. S. S. Belgic, W. H.
Walker, commander, was anchored
off port Wednesday morning. She
left Yokohama on the evening of
January %. The yellow flag was
flying at the masthead when the
port physician, DR.. Geo. Trousseau,
boarded the vessel as she lay out
side the harbor. One of the fifty
nine Japanese steerage passengers
for this port was taken down on
the way to Honolulu with small
pox. DR.. Trousseau placed the en-
tire vessel, officers, men and pas
sengers under strict quarantine.
When the fact was communicated
to the Board of Health, that body
Immediately called meeting, at
which it was decided that the Bel
gic should be quarantined for the
regular period of eighteen days.
At later meeting of the Board in
the afternoon, it was decided to
allow the passengers to land at the
Quarantine Station and to remain
there for eighteen days. The ships
cargo for this port of 440 tons was
also landed, and then fumi-
gated before delivered to its respec-
tive owners.
The Belgic has also III Chinese
steerage passengers for this port,
who will enjoy the same period of
quarantine as their near neighbors.
Captain F. D. Walker, who took
the Hawaiian schooner Kaalokai
with cargo of shark oil to the land
of the Mikado some time ago, vas
the only cabin passenger for this
port.

TWO DIALECT POETS.
THE LITERARY WORK OF J. w. RILEY
AND S. w. Foss.

Each Has Gained Fame and Both Are OF
National Reputation-Reasons why the
Humorist's Work Is Not Sure of Per
manent Place in Literature.
Of all forms of literature the humor-
Gus is notsbly evanescent. And it
makes the admirers of James Whitcomb
Riley and S. w. Foss-the men now de-
lighting us-grieve to add that of hu-
morous poetry the dialect kind is usual
ly the most evanescent. 1t is impossi-
bic for the spirit of one age to be repro
duced in the next, and he who is not in
the spirit misses the subtlety of the
humor. It is only the very finest that
will even bear transplanting, for in an
other country the jokes must be ex-
planned, and humor that requires foot
notes is dead already. Instance Hing
ston's English edition of Artemus Ward.
To an American the explanations are
almost as funny as the text.
Yet how rich in suggestion some of
the lines of Riley are; how delicately
suggestive are the sly illusions of Fossil
But Indian summer" is a season I'M
known in England, and so Britons can
but wonder at American enthusiasm
over those richly suggestive lines:
When the frost is on the pumpkin and the
folders in the shock.
In England there is no .husky rustic
Of the tossels on the corn" no ''raspiH
Of the tangled leaves, as golden as the
morn no forest hues that "no painter

BURGLARS AGAIN.
Attempted Robbery at Kawaia-
hao Seminary.

hao Seminary.
Now that the revolution is over
the restless burglar is beginning
again to do his share towards in
teresting and diverting the COM
munity. No longer restrained by
the terrors of martial law he feels
free to make free with the unpro-
tected houses of Honolulu. Sun
day night, the very first after the
suspension of martial law, one of
these gentry attempted a raid on
Kawaiahao Seminary. By his
operations he seems to have been
some one familiar with the prem
ises, though not at all an expert at
burglarizing. The intruder manag-
ed to cut hole in a blind and open
it but was stopped by the window.
He then made his way to the rear
OF the building where he effected
an entrance by a window which
had been left unfastened. The
burglar then proceeded to the
Office where was the desk of the
principal, which was supposed to
contain money. The desk was
locked, and none of the keys from
a bunch hanging near could be
persuaded to fit. The burglar
then hacked the desk pretty freely
with knife, but omitted to carve
his name-a case where foresight
proved stronger than old habit.
The would-be thief got nothing for
his pains, but he carried off door
key, so that he evidently plans an
other visit.
One of the teachers, sleeping
upstairs heard the noise below, but
false alarms of this kind had
proved so common that no atten-
ton was paid to it.

His poetry is best described as serio-
comic, but it goes. The reader must
not consider his, Sebastian Morey's

ence. In IL he says:

There is ring of Hosea Bigelow and
Bird o. Freedom Sawin in this, and in Mr..
Foss' most humorous poetry there is a
marked tendency to the use of long
words terminating long lines, which
combines the sublime and ridiculous in
style irresistibly funny. Riley and
Foss-the dialect poets of the day
more than sustain our national reputa.

Coffee Cure for Horses.

The German naturalist, Martin,
relates case he recently met of a
horse which owed its life to coffee.
1t was in such a bad way that it
was considered incurable, and the
owner sold the animal for SIS. The
animal was then almost skeleton,
and so weak that it could hardly
walk. The man who bought the
horse Immediately began to treat
it with coffee, giving infusions of
roasted coffee beans, and also cof-
fee beans ground and mixed with
honey. In a short time the horse
began to improve, and after few
its new owner was offered
$3.50 for it. He told Herr Martin
he had brought round by the same
many horses which had
been overworked or had lost their
strength and appetite Elk.

According to this analysis, we beg to
state that in our opinion, the Beer has
been well brewed, well fermented and
we'll stored. 1t has a good life and shows
good keeping qualities. The Beer has a
good and nice round taste, and We can
safely recommend it as a wholesome be-
verage. Yours respectfully,
UNITED STATES BREWERS ACADEMY,
per NJ Schwarz.
In addition to the fact that this
Beer contains remarkably little
alcohol, we beg to say that it is
brewed of genuine hops and the
very best Wisconsin barley, known
as Scotch Fife" and the water is
taken from the celebrated Wawa-
tosa mineral springs well known
throughout the Northwest; in fact
it is the only Milwaukee Beer
brewed with mineral spring water.
