Empn stAn. WAL SON kinilt pub
lish the following. Iid not know that
The gentleman who called on me Wed.
nesdat WIS from the STAR II / had
been ~ informed. ~ that what said
was Tor publication. should have taken
more care IN my statements
ist. ! make no claim 10 being a poet
! am only lawyer
3D. In my new operetta avn careful
not ito burlesque the leaders In the
present administration Conditions
are burlesqued not men.
! am nj this moment shown an item
In the morning Advertiser that also
calls for word.
Measures Chas. A. Berne and Louis liar-
rison would be quite as surprised rs I
am to learn that any one claimed that
either Of them had anything to do with
the words Of the elsie of Champagne. -
The former gentlemen arranged the
libretto; MIR. Harrison the stage bust
ness. The most popular song i'm the
operetta was written ten years before
the other songs in it, and was sung by
Mr. Thomas O. Seabrooke in the play Of
of "Bill Nye" two seasons before it was
put in the isle of Champagne
There is no dispute as to the owner
ship of the Isle of Champaign nor as to
the fact that MIR. Hayne wrote the
songs.
herewith send you the closing words
of my new operetta. which are given by
the character which stands for Mr.. Dole
and which should be proof positive that
Mr.. Dole is not burlesqued:
LIFE.
Man to be miserable needs but to be weak
But mans most capital weakness seek,
And you will find where 'er he be,
| BeggAr, prince or bond or free,
He struggles most, most treasures power,
To guard his tenure, eer for one hour,
or those frail flowers which crown his brow;
Nor wrecks not why nor when nor how.
There il no end. no turn of tide,
Of human greed or human pride.
The changing form of all he grasps,
The fragile nature that he clasps,
The hollownessof rapture's sweet,
Beneath the draperies complete
That hide life pomp and pleasures vain,
With all their shabbness and pain
Can never teach life's lesson trite,
| That happiness is doing right.
And what is life ? All darkness first;
Chaos, vacant, hooking. curs'd;
Then next but lotus thoughts so dim,
That on black shoreless waters swim;
hen smiles and grief and many tears,
Infinite strife and CHASTITY fears;
Then once again, on circling round,
Darkness, death and ashes found;
An isle fantastic, cTamped and small
Is human life ana that Is all.
A man who struts this island mean,
And laughs and weeps its shores between;
And runs that way and hurrcs this,
Fearful that some good he'll miss,
| But chases shadows quite unreal
And shall, whate're he think or feel
Whate're he make of love or hate,
Of dread or hope, anticipate,
But come to dust and ashes when
He's launched upon times shoreless then
so it is; so has been; will be,
Forever, through eternity.
| JULIEN d. HAYNE.

SCHOOL TEACHER ross.

He Failed to Escape From His Indict-
ment on IA Legal Technically.
b. II. Foss, late school teacher on
the island of Kauai, and who was ar
rested, given up by the Provisional
Government and taken back to Plumas
County, California, on charge of EN-
bezzlement, has been remanded to the
custody of the sheriff. Foss succeeded
in getting the Indictment set aside in
the lower court on the ground that EN-
bezzlement was not an extraditable
oifense. But he was again arrested
within an hour after his release, and on
the same indictment. An appeal
was taken to the Supreme Court and
there it was decided that the comfy Of
nations permits any one of them to sur
render prisoner if it see fit.

THE ;. -. DOLE.

A Handsome Model of Full Rugged
Hawaiian Ship Displayed.
The full rugged ship rs. b. Dole,
arrived this morning and Is on exhibi-
ton in the windows of the Pacific Hard
ware Company. The maker of the
''Dole" is Mr.. 7. Linden, and it took
three months to put her in her present
beautiful trim. The ship, in her make.
up, betrays earnest labor, delicate
workmanship, fine taste and is credit
to the builder. Groups of eager specta
tors have stood about the window OF
the Pacific Hardware store all da,
admiring this accomplishment of nr'
skill and ingenuity.

1t is a problem with the proper au-
thorities how Opium" Brown and his
new confederate reached this country.
More than a year ago Brown left the
Islands and has not shown himself here
since until few days back, when he
dropped into Honolulu as if from the
clouds. Evidently no vessel running
into Hawaiian ports returned these men,
as a careful examination into the
matter has shown. The supposition is
that they were brought down on some
small schooner and dropped in an isola-
ted region of Hawaii, whence they
made their way to Honolulu. Efforts
are being made to solve the mystery,
and further developments may be ex.
pected.

Mr.. Scott j. Anthony returned from a
visit on Hawaii yesterday. Mr.. Anthony
is wealthy gentleman Of Colorado, is
about fifty-six years of age, refined,
courteous and communicative. He has
travelled a great deal during the past
ten years, the Hawaiian Islands being
one of the few countries heretofore I'M
noticed. Mr.. Anthony comes to Homo
lulu for the express purpose of invest
ing in lands and building lots, with a
view of settling on Hawaii. But ii
seems that the few tracts perfectly
suited to the gentleman's taste cannot
be sold by the Government, but are
leased out for term of years, com.
plication into which Mr.. Anthony does
not care to drift. If not suited in the
meantime he will return to the States

others, Mr.. Anthony brought letters ia

sERpENTs ARE NOT NERVOUS.
Strange Muscular Power that Assists Them
 in Fascinating Their Victims.

in Fascinating Their Victims.
 The power of continuing motionless, with the lifted head projecting for ward for an indefinite time, is one of the most wonderful of the serpent's muscular feats, and is ono of the high est importance to the animal, both when fascinating it's victim and when mimicking some inanimate object as. for instance, the stem and bud of an aquatic plant; here it is only referred to on account of the effect it produces on the human mind, as enhancing the serpent's strangeness. In this atti- tude, with the round, unwinking eyes fixed on the beholder's face, the effect may be very curious and uncanny.
 Ernest Glanville, South African writer, thus describes his own experi- ence. When boy he frequently went out into the bush in quest of game, and on one of these solitary excursions he sat down to rest in the shade of willow on the bank of a shallow stream; sitting there with cheek resting on his hand he fell into boyish reverie. After some time he became aware in vague way that on the white, sandy bottom of the stream there was stretched long, black line, which had not been there at first. He continued for some time re- garding it without recognizing what it was, but all at once, with an inward shock, became fully conscious that he was looking at a large snake.
 Presently, without apparent motion, so softly and silently was 1t done, the snake reared its head above the sur face and held it there, erect and still, with gleaming eyes fixed on me inques- ton of what I was It flashed upon nae then that it would be good opportu- nitv to test the power of the human eve an a snake, and l set myself the task of looking it down. It was fool ish effort The bronze head and sinewy neck, about which the water flowed without a ripple, were as II carved in stone, and the cruel, unwlnk- ing eyes, with the light coming and going in them, appeared to glow the brighter the longer l looked. dradu- ally there came over me sensation or s;elxeninp fear. which, if l had yielded to it. would have left me poweriess to move. but with cry leaped up, and, seizing fallen willow branch, at tackled the reptile with species oi fury. Probably the idea of the lcantl originated in similar exDerience of
