Sandwich Islanders and Their Ills.

When a kanaka feels a bit ont of sorts
he ima@ines that he has not been diigent
enough in his devotiOns to some particu-
lar god. He Immediately procures a
bunch Of ava or something in the nature
of Il comforting drink. and after Il short
PRAYER to his mountain or river deity he
murmurs alphabetically, Here's your
food" or Here's Your drink. as the
case may be. Then he dcvours the sol
ids or liquids himself. If the Kanaka's
health improves, the god is appeased- If
sickness still creeps over him. he turns
to the Eahu-a. On e 10 Euill is i'm
mediately hunted Up ana approached
with bunch Of ava or pig. Then the
Kanaka dilates upon his infirmities, and
the Kahuna begins preparing TO drive
out the sickness or the evil spirit.
The patient is stripped and laid fiat,
and with a bunch Of ii leaves the ka-
huna rubs him all over, murInuring
meaningless words the while. If the
Kanaka gets well, the Kahuna's infu-
ence is increased. If the kanaka dies. he
was a doomed man anyhow, and the Ka-
huna did his best. Such of the kanakas
as patroniZe q Kahuna nowadays do it
covertly. and the Kahunas keep under
cover.-Honolulu Cor. Chicago Tribune

fruitful Of encouragement rs he had

Of Cables attack. He told the presI-

said that he believed that it had Il

pared to say that Twohig had walk
away. He. wound up by declaring
that he should see the secretary land

that the fight would he 4 very bitter
one. 1t has now become Il contest
between Senator Palmer and Mr..
Durborow on one side and Gable and
the Cook county democracy on the

AT THE TOWER.
The Modern Woodmen Festivities fester-
day Afternoon.


Probably no gathering of people
that ever assembled on any spot in
this vicinity was more lavish IN Its
praises of the place and the weather
than that which cOngregated at Black
Hawk Tower yesterday afternoon.
The day was indeed an ideal one, and
no one could linger among the trees
without feeling that it was one day
in thousand. Beneath the many
beautiful shade trees picnic parties
had spread their lunches. while the
younger people enjoyed the new
dancing pavilions and other amuse-
ments that are provided. The pro-
gram proper was necessarily cut
somewhat short on account of some
of the officers leaving for home.
Maj Hawes' Remarks.
After the addresses spoken of yes
terdav afternoon had been delivered
Mai. Halves, the genial head clerk of
the order, was introduced and spoke
at some length. He expressed his
qualification at being able to be
among his old friends for whom he
always had a warm spot, and later
gave great praise to the head officers
and directors of the order for their
jealous laborS on behalf of the order.
He spoke of their efforts at Spring
| field during the last session of the
! legislature in securing the passage
| of the bill referred to yesterday. by
| which it viii be comparatively easy
to remove the head offices OF the or
| der to this city. Director j. g. John
son. of Kansas. was then introduced
and made a bright brief speech
Head Consul Northcott.
He was followed by Head Consu
| Northcott. who made the closing ad
dress. The latter's remarks were
| begun in that humorous strain SC
| peculiar to him and were greatly en-
| loved by all his auditors. Bleuer'
| band furnished both brass and string
| music. and in the evening hundreds
| who had been unable to go out dur
inc the dav. took advantage of the
| delightful evening and made Tho
| Tower a visit On the whole the
