AND NOW SILLY!

Poor old LADY, She has again
shaken her silver curls, and in spite
of decorum and former respect for
the Ad5erhSer, annexationists of
Hawaii have burst into laughter.
The STAR could have stood the
deadly fusillade poured into it from
behind the protection Of a political
hOlOkH, if the journalistic old lady
had not, in her wild endeavor to keep
her silken curls out of the water,
deliberately attacked the members
of the Government as an offset to
her own attempted Psyfdy.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1894-10-27

Poor old lady She should upon
her return from Maui proceed to
disport herself within the bright
colored political future awaiting her.
Her change from the ridiculous to
the silly has been accomplished with
out rebuke amidst a storm of public
applause. 1t matters not that an
neXationists are not in it the
AaOerhser and its prize chump fill a
long felt political want since roy
alism died. The STAR at this point
further feels it incumbent to say
that while General Sherman might
have been improperly noted, during
war times, as crank, D
a foo" or a traitor" there
is no such chance for error
when, in peaceful Hawaii, a
would-be politician of Mr., Arm
strongs evident proclivities, places
himself on record on the same
points against the sentiments of his
countrymen, who are here fighting
for a political advance single
handed.

Her debut and subsequent eccentric ca
reer excited as much talk as did Cour-
taine's peculiar caprces. Between them
both they managed to keep the tongues of
all the gossips active. Miss Russum has
passed out of ken for some years.
Sickness fell upon Courtaine al last and
he was sent to the City and County Hos
pital. where he lay dying, as was thought.
His wife bad been parted from him for
eighteen years. Captain Douglass of the
police force, as is understood, discovered
that she was playing an engagement in
New York, and sent her word that Harry
was passing away and longed to see her
again. Forgetting all she had suffered,
aud remembering only that her husband
was sick and bad asked for her, the de-
voted woman threw up her engagement,
FASTENED to San Fran cisco and to her hus-
bands bedside, where her presence and
nursing soon induced commissioners and

Eliot says, "a woman's lot is made for

THE OLD TRoPIC BIRD.

comfortable home where she is. In one
sense of the word there is nothing to be de-
sired. The man who conceived the idea
OF turning her into house was certainly
genius. The old hulk was pushed
ashore. stern first, leaving the bow in deep
water and row of piles driven on either
side of the bow. Sand settled around, and
the old craft was soon as firmly fixed as
rock.
The whole after portion of the vessel
was then knocked off, few of the timbefs
changed so as to make the sides square.
floors, walls and windows put in, and a
roof placed on top. A porch was built
around the sides and a large awning put
up IN about the same spot the rudder used
to be. What was the stern of the boat is
now tw0-stOry house which person
could enter and never for a moment sus-
ppct its real AZURE.
There is nothing out of the way about
the house. but the back yard is the deck of
the old TrOpic Bird. The cooks galley
stands where it always did and still does
duty as kitchen. 1t is only few steps
from the dining room of the house and IS
masts still remain and clothesines are
stretched between them, on which the
family washing is hung to dry.
The space betwsen decks is used as a
sort of storeroom and poultry-house The
old matches and ladders are just the same
as they used to be when the hold was filled
with oileasks and whaieboDe.
In fact there is very little changed about
the old vessel except that she is converted
into dwelling-h0use. The boards of the
deck are the same that have felt the burn
ing suns of the south seas and been COW
cred with snow and ice in the Arctic.
Every portion of the old vessel seems TO
tell some story. But little imagination is
required 10 fill the decks with men, cap
tains, mates and sailors. most of them gone
to Davy Jones' locker long ago.
The figurehead is gone, but the PROV is
turned TO the sea. 1t is battered and
broken by contact with icefelds in years
gone by. but the waves wash up and caress
it. as if longing to have the old craft in
their embrace again.

CARS are, however, organized toto bands.
They have trades union of their own and
they go into the business as a profession.
They have their kings, and the cities are
divided up into beats, and woe to the man
who attempts to jump his brother beggar's
claim. There is sure to be fight, and he
will be run into prison or out CT town.
These beggars expect to get a certain

you can sometimes pay them TO keep other
beggars away.
AT Wuhu a missionary owned house
facing on two street. He had beggars on
both sides of him, but be finally arranged
with the beggar in front 10 keep his rear
cleared BY the payment OF a small sum per
month. AS soon as the bargain was made
the beggarS at the back of the house went
away and he has had no trouble since
then. Here in Marking there is O royal
guild OF beggars, esta blished, 1t is said, by
the Emperor Hung Wo, who began life as
a beggar. and became one of the greatest
Emperors China has ever had. The head
of this guild can prevent shop or FAM
lily being annoyed by the beggars, and
there is system of buying off the as
saults of beggars which prevails through
out China, and which exempts the
man who pays from their visits.
As IL is, every one gives to the beg
gar. The sum is generally not more
than one-tenth Of cent. and sometimes
only half that. This Is in silver, and it
means only half the same amount on
gold basis Think of giving a man the
twentieth or fortieth of cent to satisfy
his hunger! That is what some Of these
beggars get. There is kind of copper
cash, about half the size of an ordinary
cash, OF as big as nickel, which is worth
about this, and this coin is called beggar
cash. If a storekeeper refuses o give. the
beggar will set up howl. and he will con-
tiuue his lamentations until The man is
glad To pay min TO move on. Sometimes
the beggar threatens to kill himself in the
store then and there If his demands are
not satisfied, and. what is mnre, he some
times does it. This is a terrible thing for

ON THE BEACH AT TIBURON.
The Old Craft Makes a Comfortable
Home, but Looks Out of
Place.

1t Is now getting on toward half a cen
tury since the whaling bark Tropic Bird
was launched from a shipyard on the
coast Of Mass achusetts. At the time she
was considered one of the finest vessels of
her class afloar. Now she is lyiag in the
lagoon at Tiburon partly converted into a
dwelling-house and carpenteT-shop. The
old hulk is undoubtedly of some service
where she is, but one feels that she ought
to be- laid up somewhere and allowed to go
to pieces under the action of the elements
she has resisted so many years.
The history of the Tropic Bird is much
the same as many other whalers. When
she was first launched she went on voY-
age to Greenland, and after that spent the
time in different parts OF the world. even
tually coming to San Francisco.
Her last voyage was made from this port
to the Arctic, and when she returned she
was laid uD in the lagoon at Tiburon and
condemned. After several years she was
put to her present use.

Nearly all of the fires In Marking are made

grass is cut and saved. There are thou
sands of people who do nothing else but
reap the reeds which grow along the banks
of the Yangtse klang and bring them into
the cities 10 sell These reeds are as thick
as the base of walKing-stick and are often
fifteen feet long. Tlsy are cut and sia ked
up along the banks and thence are carried
up and down the river in fat bottomed
boats. Such wood as is used is tied up in
little punches and is sold by weight. Char
coal is sometimes found, and | seq here

No one in China, however, either rich or
poor, thinks Of keeping warm by means
of fuel. There are no furnaces nor base
burners, and Wadded clothing among the
poor and fur garments among the rich
: keep our the cold. A fire Is never built by
a poor man except when 1t is absolutely
necessary, and the hot water used for the
tea and rice in the early morning is sold
by hot-water stores. You can get bucket
