Thrilling Experience of a Young Nor
wegian Boy with a Boa
Constructor.

The snakehouse connected with
Ringing Bros. circus winter quarters
at Baraboo, Wis, is a centre of attrac
ton for the small boys of the village,
says the St. Paul Globe What there
is about snakes so peculiarly attractive
to boys is something no fellow can find
out.
How it happened no one is able to
explain. The men were removing the
pythons and boa constructors from their
old cages into the new ones.
The door of "Ben Ahmids cage
b. A. being a monster boa thirty-two
feet long-was temporarily left open
when the men went out into the yard
to get his new cage. In these few mo-
ments little tot Of a Norwegian boy,
who had come into town with his father
who was busy with the Ringlings nego-
tiating a sale of oats, slipped across the
yard and into the rear door of the
snakehouse.
When the attendants returned with
Bens new cage they were Mortified to
descry fast-disappearing pair Of legs
sticking out through the monsters jaws,
The great serpent's eyes were ahame
with excitement, and in another second
or two the poor little Norwegian boy
would have disappeared from view for
ever, 1t happened that Henry Ring
ling, giant in strength and. statue, was
present. He grasped the serpent
around the neck and commenced shsk-
ing it. With one swipe of its muscular
tail it sent Mr.. Ringing scurrying heels
over head across the floor
Al. Ringing happened in He took
in the situation at glance. Grasping
a long chain lying on the floor he
passed il around the serpents body at
a point about six inches below where
he thought the Childs head would be.
Directing several attendants to grasp
either end of the chain and pull with
all their strength, he was gratiied to
notice a relaxation of the snakes efforts
to swallow the child.
Then this chain was made fast. The
snakes tail was fastened around post,
and the whole body drawn to its great
est tension This rendered his ma jesty
inert and powerless. He still continu-
ed to gulp but his game was up Two
men inserted wagon jack between his
jaws, and by degrees they were pried
open and the boy pulled out. His
head and body were covered with thick
saliva of peculiarly offensive odor.
The boy gasped for breath and then
burst into tears. Then he looked
around in wondering way and ran
out of the house across the snow to his
fathers wagon.
Two hours afterward he was in a
drug store munChing almond candy
and drinking soda. But his hair, which
his father said was of that peculiar
fight shade SO noticeable in Norwegians,
had turned three shades lighter, His
experience was a direful one, but was
happily attended with no i'll effects.

OUR KAUAI LETTER.
A Lively Annexation Meeting Capt.
Ross Abortive Efforts.

KAPPA, April 29-The Kealia An
neXation club held its fourth meeting at
the Keaia Hall on the 27th of April.
VIM. Blasdell, President of the club
called the meeting to order. There
were about 50 natives present besides
American, Portuguese, and other nation
alities. The object of the meeting was
to hear the report of the delegates who
called on Commissioner BIount. The
report was received with enthusiasm
VIM. cassie and II. L. Austin spoke to
the Hawaiians in regard to the benefits
OF Annexation and to the assurance of
civil rights, taking the United States
Constitution as guarantee. Geo. Nun
don acted as Interpreter. The natives
kept them busy talking until 1890,
when the meeting ajUurned, to meet
again Thursday week at their request
There were several names added to the
list, names which Capt Ross & Co.
had attached to their own list without
any headings whatever, SO as to show
howeage the natives of Kealia are against
annexation. After the meeting had
adjourned they gathered outside of the
building and then discussed Annexation
until midnight
The Kealia Annexation Club has
received invitations from Hanalei to 90
there and enighten the people on the
subject of Annexation, as they have
only heard one side Of the story along
: with promises from Capt Ross that
the Queen would shortly be restored
to power
VIM. Blaisdell and others are going
over to Hanalei to day and will prob
ably hold a meeting there this after
noon. 1t is rumored Capt Ross Sc
cured about 10 names to his roll in
Guiding men, women and children at
Hanalei. He sneaked through kealia
and Kapaa without getting a single
name attached to his paper as he knows
the people here are too well informed
for him and would not listen to any of
his yarns. The rumor as to the re
mOval of kahele, the mail man, for not
signing the Annexation roll is false.
He is still carrying the mail, but work
ing very strongly against Annexation.
The sCow at the Wailua river will
be completed and launched to-day. 1t
was taken by contract by John w.
Neal at about half the cost of the other
two which were built years ago while
Bush and Gibson were running the
government affairs. c. NJ.

The Queens Trumpeter.

The royal house in Scotland boasts
but single trumpeter to herald the
approach or departure Of the sovereign
with what in Shakspearian stage di-
rections is termed a sonnet. That
proud position has just been conferred
upon Robert White, late bandsergeant
Of the Cameron Highlanders, but his
Office must be nearly a sinecure.
AT Balmoral the skrl of the bagpipes
is preferred to the blast of the clarion,
and rarely indeed will Mr.. White be
called upon to "set the wild echoes
flying" within the gloomy precincts Of
Holyrood

New Ideas !

A merchant is nowhere
unless abreast Of the times.
We have gotten several
new ideas through the OBJ
servation of Mr.. T. !.
King, while on the coast
and we propose not only
to profit by them ourselves
but to give our customers
the benefit of the low
prices that shall henceforth
prevail in our establish
ment.
AS time rolls on, we
shall gradually unfold our
new ideas to the mutual
benefit Of our customers
and ourselves.
Call and be convinced
Of the sincerity of our
propositions.

M. MCINERNY.

Are we to be, or not to be,
a part of the Great Republic,
seems to be the burning ques-
ton Of the day, and one we
had rather leave to wiser heads
than ours to solve; and while
great statesmen are wrestling
with this momentous question,
we want to have a little "bo7v-
7vO7V with you on some other
subjects, that concern you as
well as ourselves.
Has it not occurred to you
that you've been wearing that
old hat long enough In these
progressive times if you intend
to be lin it, you've got to keep
pace with fashion. No matter
how otherwise well dressed
you may be, unless your hat is
the correct thing you bear a
shabby appearance.
We have already laid in a
stock Of the Latest Hats of the
coming Spring and Summer
styles, in hard felts, soft felts
and straws, and including a line
of the celebrated FEDORA
Hats, at present all the rage in
the United States. There is
therefore, no necessity for you
to hang on any longer to that
old Tile that bears such a
strong resemblance to the hat
your father wore"
Believing that business will
be better in the near future, we
have not hesitated to keep our
stock full in all lines. Take
collars for instance We have
almost everything you could
wish for. If you wear a stand
ing collar, just come in and
take a look at our Narenta"
or "Ardonia ! or if you prefer
a turn down collar, try the
winnipeg" or "Goswell;" we
have have lots of others, and
can't fail to suit you Cuffs in
abundance, links or otherwise.
Neckwear in profusion, scarfs
windsors Ain hands, and a
special lot of Boys Bows"
suspenders in great variety,
leather and woven ends, good
strong, serviceable goods.
We might go on indefinitely,
but space is valuable, and to
enumerate everything we carry
would fill a pretty fair sized
Book. If there is anything
you want in the mems line,
just drop in and see US, and if
we cant suit you, we don't be-
lieve any one can.
If you should want a pair of
nice shoes, let us try a hand at
fitting you. Did it ever occur
to you
How much a man is like his shoes;
For instance, both a soul may lose.
Both have been tanned; Both are made
tight by Cobblers;
Both get left and right;
Both need a mate to be complete;
And both are made to go on feet
They both need healing; oft are sold,
And both in time will turn to mould.
With shoes the last is first; with men
The first shall be the last; and when
The shoes wear out, they're mended
new;
When men wear out, they're men dead

The Memphis Appeol-Ayalanche
says; There is law in Massachu-
setts which requires the publication
of all amounts of money spent in the
campaigns; and these publications
shed considerable light on the great
purifier OF elections, Mr. Henry Cabot
Lodge, In his campaign for repre-
sentatite it appears that he snent in
only a part of the towns in his dis
trict the sum of $12,l2I10. This
does not include his personal ex.
penses, nor all his expenditures IN
the different towns. He could not
have speat, all told, much less than
$4,000, or $4,000 more than the
salary for his entire congressional
term. 1t is true that he has been
elected to the senate for six years,
aud will virtually get three years
salary out Of the six. But how can
man Of ordinary wealth afford TO
spend $4,000 for an Office which will
pay him only s10,0002 Is a man
like Lodge apt to squander $4,000 on
