Ilkl, also an excinesANra, was
 ofite food of the Morioris, and there (,as closed season in which this bird might not be killed. The Moriori caught the young of sea birds before they could fly, potted item and preserved the meat by wrapping it up and burying it in the ground
 Tho seal was caught for clothing as well as for food, and the Morioris had lumber ing deep water, raftlike boats for scaling They ventured to sea in these, taking care however, to note the state of the moon ln order not to be swept far out
 When Europeans came to the islands, the seals, which had been slain only in small numbers by the Morioris, were destroyed in great numbers, and the Morioris after that went half naked for lack of their ac- customed material for clothing. They tried to recover lost art of mat weaving, but were saved the trouble by their con- uuerors the Maoris, who taught them the Maori art of weaving, so that they might be clothed
 The usual Polynesian method of striking a light by rubbing pointed stick In groove worn in piece of softer wood was the method of the Morioris, and the wom- en carefully guarded the firing wood that it should not get damp.
 After the promulgation of tho laws against war the Morioris laid aside most of their weapons or turned them to peaceful uses. Their stone battle ax was used to cut timber They had wedges for split ting, and chisels for making holes in wood. They had ornamental baskets to hold pre- cious things and other baskets of plainer make to hold fruit. They made fishing nets of many forms out of common flax. 1aI.o och d0nc nn a. lands, so the Morioris carried water in hornshaped vessels made of green flax leaves
 The boats of the Morioris differed great ly from those of all other Polynesian peo- pies. They had no true canoe, but heavy built up craft that was pulled with diffi- culty, though it was very stanch in Q rough sea. The island had no timber big enough to be hollowed into canoes, and for this reason the raft principle was sub- stituted The rafts were foored with the flower stalks of plant These boats were big enough to carry 60 or 70 persons and were propelled by paddles. The Morioris carried fire on their boats and had on the floor hearthlike arrangements of stone and earth for tho embers to rest upon.
 The race was divided into tribes, and each tribe had Q chief, the eldest born of the principal family, who was sometimes also a priest Chiefs and all old men were exceedingly taboo, and no one dared to pass behind priest or an elder. Should any one negligently do so the offended one would cry, My back, my back'' The chief took precedence of all, and no one meddled with his functions. The priests were the ablest men. Slavery was un- known.
 Each tribe had its own section of coun- try, but as the Morioris did not cultivate the soil ownership in it extended only to the right or occupancy and to the taking of natural products and the hunting of

~ A specialist is one that confines or limits his practice to the treatment of particular or special class of diseases Those who adver- tise to treat many or all classes of disease are simply advertising doctors.
 Dr. Holloway is specialist of many years standing, distinguished graduate in every branch of medicine and surgery; also li censed pharmacist.
 HE TREATS ONLY PRIVATE DISEASES.
 By thus devoting his whole time to the cure of private troubles he has acquired an experience and familiarity with such diseases not obtained by doctors in the general prac- tice of medicine.
 This, with successful treatment, quick and permanent cures, has established for him a reputation not confined to the city of Bir- mingham or the state of Alabama. The great success which has crowned his efforts for the relief of suffering humanity is attested by nu- merous patients from every state in the union.
 CURES ARE GUARANTEED. Dr. Holloway guarantees to you a cure, and his guarantee is a reliable one. After a careful examination or consultation, person. ally or by letter, you are told exactly what guaranteed cure will cost, including medi- cines. The same written guarantee is given to patients who are treatedby mail as to those who reside in the city. but, if you wish to come here for treatment 1 will contract to pay your railroad fare and hote h.als and make no charges for medicines 4lyices if fail to permanently cure you. aT

THE oPERA HOUSE SECURED
And Ives ana schaeGer VIII Play Bill
Hard kgutoh Here

Hard hHtoh here.
Mr.. Il. NJ. Statler, of the Mcclure
House billiard parlor, held anothed con.
ference yesterday with Manager Ries
ter OF the Opera House, with more sat
isfactory results than at the first one.
MIR. Riester consented to rent the Opera
House for the proposed billiard match
between Ives and Schaelfer. AS Mr.
Statler had previously written to the
managers OF the two men, stat ing his
Inability TO secure place for
the match, he Immediately tele-
Rraphed that he had rented the Opera
House. As the expense OF bringing the
men here, exclusive of the rent of the
theatre, advertising, etc, will be S4OO,
Mr.. Statler is OF the opinion that the
men will have to play ia the afternoon,
and similar contest at night. Mr..
Statler's object is to make not money,
as that seems impI obable, but TO give
devotees OF the game an opportunity 70
witness match between two OF the
best shots in tho business"
The offer of $500 TO the winner will
make the match bona fde one. and
will make IL more interesting than
simply an exhibition game. Both men
execute fancy shots when the play is
concluded.

WORK AND WAGES.

CARNEGIE says he Is running his
works at a loss to give his workmen en-
ployment. This may be true as to the
fact, but CARNEGIE's peculiar charity
operates TO throw labor in many other
sections out OF employment. BY taking
orders at any price from all over the
country CARNEGIE is injuring and clos
ing down many concerns that cannot
compete with him and which could not
compete with him even before the last

that way. Mr.. GARLAND adds:
