THE BATTALION PARADE.
THE VARIOUS COMPANIES DID
MOLLY.
Over Three Hundred Men in Line-The
Government May Well be Proud
Of Its Army.

Palace square was crowded on Sat-
urday afternoon with the elite of Homo
lulu society, which had gathered to see
the first battalion dress parade and
drill of the Hawaiian Government
troops. The parade had been fixed
for s o'clock, but long before that hour
the square was filed with people, ex-
cept that portion reserved for the
parade. At 4:5o Captain Goods COM
pany marched from the Executive
Building and took up position near
the Opera House. Captain Ziegler's
company was the next to make its APP
pearance and was shortly afterwards
followed by the volunteer companies
which had assembled in the Armory.
When the troops were all in line
there we're exactly asa of them, without
including officers The various COM
panies taking part were Company A
under command of Lieutenant Ludwig;
Company B, Captain Hugh Gum;
Company c, Captain Camara; Com
pany D, Captain Wilder; Company E.,
Captain Good; Company F, Captain
Ziegler and Company G, Lieutenant
King. Company G was formed by
taking sixteen men each from Com
panies E and +, so as to equalize the
numerical strength of the companies
as much as possible. Four men from
Company B and two each from the
others f,rmed the color guard, the flag
being borne by Sergeant Carl Willing.
After the various companies had
been brought into line under the
direction of Adjutant Pratt, the COM
mand was turned over to Lieutenant
Colonel Fisher who put the battalion
through various evolutions, when Col
onel Soper took charge and other
movements we're gone through, at the
conclusion of which the battalion was
inspected by Colonel Soper, Lieutenant
Colonel Fisher and Major Mcleod.
The battalion was then dismissed, the
parade having lasted about fifty minutes.
Considering that this was the first
time the six. companies have appeared
in public together, the discipline,
marching and knowledge of the new
manual of arms displayed by them was
very commendable. Of course, the
frequent drilling which companies A
and E have received from Captains
Good and Ziegler made itself apparent,
but all we're deserving of credit. But
one or two mistakes were made, and
those were from misunderstanding of
orders and not from ignorance. The
commanding officers need exercise in
using their voices, sc. asto be heard by
the whole battalion, as much as the
men do in obeying them. But few
more drills will remedy these matters.
Taken as whole the parade and drill
reflected credit on officers and men
alike and the general public were not
backward in according it.
Among many interested spectators
were President Dole, Acknowledgement
Smith, Chief Justice Judd, Judge
Cooper, Councilman Bolte, Marshal
Hitchcock, and others. 1t is proposed
to have these parades quite often here
after, and if SO the STAR would suggest,
in view of the general interest taken in
Saturdays affair, that the Government
band be present. This suggestion is
made without any disrespect to the
drum corps, which did we'll.

UNDER A FALLING BUCKET
Narrow Escape Of Sailor From &
Tragic Death.

Herman Uiole, sailor attached to
the German bark Paul Isenberg, mar
rowly escaped death this afternoon on
board that vessel.
Coal is being discharged from the
ship at the Mail dock, and while a
heavy bucket carrying several hundred
pounds was being swung from point
above the forward hatch to the dock
the tackle gave way and the bucket
fell to the deck. Mole Was crossing
the deck beneath the bucket, but was
warned Of his danger in time to spring
to one side, which was prob.
ably the means of saving
his life. The bucket or some of the
flying tackle struck him on the face
laying his cheek open from the corner
of the mouth several inches back
toward the ear. The ships officers
were of the opinion that this was the
extent Of the mans injuries, although
the report that the accident was fata
was current on the water front.
Whether there we're other injuries OF
not the hospital authorities are unable
to say, not having completed an ex-

Aim at the Drake
And you are bound TO hit some Of the
ducks. This is precisely the same with
.Wanpole's
Tasteless
Preparation
Cod Liver Oil.

1t aims to cure Consumption,
Hits the Mark, too, and it
most effectually breaks up Colds,
Coughs, Hoarseness and all
Throat and Lung troubles that
cause this disease.
1t is natural logic to conclude
that if WAMPoLE's PREPARATION
OF COP LIVER OH has power
to prevent Consumption, it sure
ly is able to cure these lesser
emergencies.
This vigor-making, fat pro-
ducing preparation is Absolute
ly Tasteless, in SO far as Cod
Liver Oil is concerned. All
you notice is delightful flavor
Of Wild Cherry and Anise.
But the purest Norwegian
Cod Liver Oil is there all the
same. 1t is a great blood en-
richer. Best of all it is a natu-
raj food that in it's stomachic
effects, actually assists its own
assimilation.
In Pulmonary or Bronchia
troubles it is unequalled. No
one doubts the value of Cod
Liver Oil, but not every one is
able to take it.
WAMP0LE'S PREPARATION
removes the nauseous objection
and actually makes Cod Liver
Oil palatable.

A Simple Ceremony.

s'They have a queer betrothal custom
down among the common natives or poems
of Guatemala" said Alfred Thompson.
(which is scarcely romantic for the girl. l
was passing the hut of a native on n finca or
coffee plantation one day when l saw an old
woman belaboring her daughter with good
sized stick, which she applied vigorously
across the shoulders and body of her be
loved offspring, who set up walls of woe
and pain, though l fancy her tears We're
quickly dried, for it WIS Il significant event
for her. This is the way the old lady gave
her consent to the marriage of her daughter.
THE natives receive but little cash dur
ing the year. The priest charges what is
there consider ed a good sum Tor performing
a marriage ceremony, and the natives of the
lower classes dispense with it The mother
beats the daughter, there is feast Of fri
s,olli and tortiIli cakes and the dispensation
of unlimited quantities Of native whisky,
everybody is happy, and that constitutes
the marriage, which, singular rs it may ap-
pear, is regarded and observed, as a rule,
faithfully. w ashingtOn star.

Singular Experience OF Traveller Who
Slept In q Botanical Garden.

Singular Experience OF q Traveller VINO
Slept In Botanical Garden.
T. Gasser, civil engineer of Vienna, who
TOR two or three years has been travelling
constantly, is in town.
"A most singular thing befell me near
Paradena, Ceylon," he said. Il had gone
with a friend into the great botanical gar
den there. This is probably the finest DO
tanical garden in the world. You hear
many compliments about one or two other
gardens, but believe none of them is so
large or so entirely unique as this. In this
great garden, oddly enough, there were
many wild animals. As a rule they are not
supposed to be savage, however.
well, one day it was extremely warm
hot, you may say, even for Ceylon. l at
length became tired and stretched myself
on the ground under some india rubber
trees My friend meantime left me, and
gazed for time up through the leaves Of
the trees, catching n CLINT once in awhile
of the sum- till relaxed and lazy feeling
overcame me, and 1 fell asleep. 1 must
have slept an hour, when suddenly 1 was
awakened by queer, uncanny feeling and
opened my eyes.
Judge of my surprise when 1 saw
perched upon my feet, body, and even upon
my shoulders a lot of little monkeys while
all about me and beaming down upon me
from the trees were monkeys OF all sizes
and ages 1t seemed to me there were
myriads of them. l was frightened, for
knew these monkeys were wild, and in
their wild state / did not know what so
many of them might do.
Il gave one leg n twitch, however, and
then the other, and bounded to my feet,
throwing off all that were gamboling over
and about me. In II second the monkeys
vanished, and only peering from the tops
of the tall bamboo and rubber trees could
| see any at all. Even these did not remain
long In n few minutes they were all gone.
l was much alarmed, for the appearance of
so many of them was entirely unexpected.
1t was week before got over my fright.
TT appears, however, that the queer ami
mails had meant no harm to me. The con-
Cress had been called, and their examine
ton of me as 1 lay upon the ground was
merely out of curiosity to divine what kind
of an object was. suppose if had been
addicted to intoxicants / might have re-
ceived such shock from the cloud of
monkeys that I might never have recov-
cred from it.
"As it was, voted myself in luck and
vowed never to go to sleep again in a wild
tropical forest, even if it were called a bo-
tanical garden."-San Francisco Examiner.
