HOW TO PRONOUNCE "HAwAn."
"'Hnh-vah-e-e'' Is Correct AccOrdins
to "a High Native Authority,

"Hah-vah-e-e" Is Correct According
to High Native Authority.
How do you pronounce the name Of
the island kingdom which wants to be
annexed to the United States?" is a
question frequently propounded and
variously answered nowadays. The
most commonly accepted pronuncia-
ton, and the one authorized by Lip
pincott's, Worcesters, Webster's and
the Century dictionaries, is, for the
name of the principal island of the
group, "Hah-wi-e," the second g1labIe
accented, and thes'I'' pronounce! as in
pine Inc same question was once
asked by a New York Sun man of a
high-cast Hawaiian lady, well educated
in her own and the English language,
She answered:
The proper pronunciation is Hah-
vah-e-e. There is no W. in our alpha
bet, and no letter nor combination of
letters. which take the sound of W.
as in English. The missionaries who
first translated our language found it
difficult to pronounce or express the
sound, which is, to my ear correctly
conveyed by the letter " softened and
made full. Our "a is pronounced broad,
as you pronounce it in fall and our
T. is like the English 'e.' The rule is to
pronounce every vowel, and as the ex-
ceptiOn of the rule does not affect the
double i in Hawaii, you will see that
the word is 'Hah-vah-e-e'
These are the twelve letters in the
Hawaiian language, with their pro-
nunciatiOn: A (ah), (a), (e), (oh).
o (oo), h hay), k Qzay), Qah), m (moo),
n (noo), p Oay), (vay) There is no
sound Of ''i' as in the English language,
except where ali follows W." or as
the Hawaiian lady would insist, "v."
There is a great difference in the Ian
guage as spoken by the high and low
caste of Hawaiians. The low caste
speak with a succession of explosive,
staccato gutterals; the high caste with
a liquid gov that makes it a beautiful
language. The insistance upon the "v''
instead of the "w'' sound is considered,
even by some of the well educated and
all of the uneducated as something Of
an affectation, and one hears "Hah-
vah-e-e' on the island instead Of 'Hah-
wah-e," about as often as "vahse" in.

In this country the only vice which
public opinion seriously condemns is
drunkenness, and it is only before
foreigners that any sense of shame or
desire for secrecy about other vices is
observable. The taste for strong
drink, though still indulged compare
lively in secret, is steadily increasing,
the practice spreading from force of
example among the Moors themselves,
and as result of the strenuous efforts
of foreigners to inculcate this vice.
As yet it is chiefly among the higher

in holy horror. Then he threw aside
the turban and was presently dressed
throughout in modern European
style. Worse than this he took to
smoking cigarettes and drinking
champaign. For descendant of Mo-
hamet to drink intoxicating liquor
was an unprecedented apostacy. But
Muley Sidi defended himself. "1t is
true," he said, "that the wine in the
bottle is Intoxicating. But when i
pour it into my glass it becomes as
harmless as water!" And this explain
alton was generally believed.
These eccentricities, however, were
only the beginning of the trouble.
Down at Tangier the holy man made
the acquaintance of n comely young
English women named Emily Keene,
who was a governess in the family of
the British Minister, and began max
ing love to her. Well, he was mu-
latto, but prince and very rich, and
she was ambitious. So she accepted
him and, after he had divorced all his
other wives, was married to him in
good English fashion. And she made
him sign q solemn bond to take no
other wife, but to conduct his domes-
tic affairs on the English plan; and if
he broke this bond he was to give her
her children and S25, 1000 cash down
and $4,000 year for life. And finally
she was able to sign herself princess
of Wazan." To oil this tho love-sick
Shereef eagerly agreed, and for a
number of years he kept his pledges
faithfully. Two sons were born to
them and their home at Tangier was
an ideally happy one.
After many years, however, he broke
the bond. He married Moorish girl
at Wazan, and tried to divorce the
English woman. But the English
woman had mind of her own, and it
was more clever mind than his. She
defeated his attempt to divorce her,
retained her title OF "Princess of Wa
