CYCLOR AM A.

No Location In London--Is Soon to Open
In Boston.
Z. w. Hebron has received some
interesting advices on the CYCLIC
rama. Manager Sesser has just re-
turned from London. The Kilauea
reproduction is in San Francisco.
1t is to be shipped to Boston, from
which place Mr. w. F. Sesser
writes.
The manager reports that he was
unable to secure a suitable location
in London. There was but one
desirable place. 1t will not be vac
ant for a year. Then Kilauea will
be shown upon it. Mr.. Sesser
says he was greatly surprised at
the lack of show grounds in the
English capital.
In a short time now the CYCLIC
rama will be on exhibition at the
house of Gorham d. Gilman and
other staunch friends Of Hawaii.
Another, and perhaps a third
cyclorama is to be made. These

1870 TINS ARE CAPTURED.
OPIUM SEIZURE MADE BY DEPUTY
SURVEYOR GILFILLAN.
Edward Gilsey's Place on Queen
Street-Sailors off the
Australia.

The final sequel to the story Of
the landing of opium on the beach
back of the Myrtle Boat house
Monday night has been reached.
One man is in jail and nest Of
smugglers has been unearthed.
The man arrested was caught red
handed with $50 tins of the drug
in his possession. His name is Ed.
Gilsey. He is a Mulatto and has
been watched by the Customs
guards for some time. He was
formerly employed on the Australia.
When it was known that opium
had been landed near the Myrtle
Boat house, Gilsey was suspected.
His house is at the foot of Queen
street. A guard was put on the
premises. A search OF the house
revealed nothing. About 10 o'clock
this morning Archie Gilfillan re-
ceived message to come to Gil
sey's house at once. He went down
and found several sailors from the
Australia in the act of assailing the
two guards. They were all inter-
ested in the opium. Gillian
sprang in and scattered the crowd.
The men had gone from the Aus
tralia to get the opium. They had
demanded it of the guards, think
ing it had been captured. When
they had gone Gilsey was again ap-
preached. He denied emphatically
that there was any opium on his
premises. A more thorough search
was instituted. A few empty tins
were first found. Then, in side
yard, under a pile of rubbish the
whole lot of 90 lbs. was unearthed.
1t was in four packages, being
wrapped in sugar bags. The value
is about $3.50. The opium wa:
taken to the Custom house. At !
o'clock this afternoon Gilsey was
taken to the Police station ant
locked up.

For the information and benefit
of Americans or others conrem-
plating emigration to the Hawaiian
Islands | make this statement:
There are now many, many more
men here than positions. The
number Of idle in Honolulu has in
creased very much during the pas
few months. Every vessel from tn,
coast adds to the ranks of the un
employed. This is a small cont,
with labor for but a limited mum
Der. l earnestly advise those VIII,
have been contemplating coming
this way i'll search of employment
to change their minds. Pay no al
tention to exaggerated correspond
ence about the need of mechanics
laborers or soldiers. For men wit
capital then are excellent opportur
tiles. Yours truly,

LEARNING A LANGUAGE.
HOW THE GILBERT ISLAND TONGUE
WAS REDUCED TO WRITING.
Rev. Bingham's Work Begun in 1857
-TransIating The Bible-An
Arduous Task.

The parlors of Central Union
Church were crowded with people
last night to hear Rev. DR.. Bing-
hams lecture on the Gilbert
Islands. The speaker dealt parti-
cularly with the reduction of the
language to writing and the trans
lating of the bible into the tongue
of the natives. The following
questions, referring to the subject,
were answered: ''By whom re-
duced to writing, when, how and
for what reasons?" The Doctor
treated each in detail. The work
was begun by himself and others in
the year 1857. They landed in the
country among savages. Their
ideas OF a written language were
of the crudest nature. They were
in absolute darkness as to educa-
tional or ethical matters.
The language was slowly acquir-
ed by the missionaries. At the
same time they interested the be-
inghted race with illustrations Of
the system of communicating ideas
by letters. After several years OF
toll and painstaking the language
was so reduced that it could be
taught. Then leaflets and finally
text books were introduced, all
printed in the Gilbert tongue.
After all this work it was fount
that the language could be writer
with thirteen letters. They are A
E, 1, o, U, M, N, N, ], T, K, w ant
B. The language was found t.
contain 5000 words. The mission
aries added 200 for convenience. Ii
the translation of the bible 44oc
more had to be added, being prin
cipally proper names. This give
the language about 10000 words
all told. The translation Of tn
bible was completed in 1890. /
took two years to prove and revis
it. The first copies were sen
down by the Morning Star 1893
A dictionary will now be prepared

far distant when the Gilbert archi
pelago will be entirely christian
ized

A PASTOR Is PROPOSED.
EASTERN MAN NAMED FOR THE
CENTRAL UNION PULPIT.
Msss-Church to Vote Next
Week.

Central Union Church will likely
soon have a pastor, 1t has been
without one for more than a year.
Rev. DIR. Beckwith was the last.
Since he went to the Paia Church
on Maui the pulpit at Central
Union has been supplied by six
different preachers. Some were in
a position to accept call and some
were not. Anyway, none were
retained. The committee on pastor
was appointed more than a year
ago. 1t has had its hands full. A
number of gentlemen from one side
of the United States to the Other
have been considered. However,
none seemed to fill the bill.
An important business meeting
of the church membership was held
last night. Chief Justice Judd
occupied the chair. Mr.. P. c.
Jones stated the object Of the meet
ing. 1t was in the matter of a
pastor. The committee on a pastor
was ready to report. Mr.. Jones
spoke for the committee. A gen.
tleman had been decided upon.
The committee believed he was
Just the man the church required
and would recommend that he be
called. His recommendations were
of sterling character. His name
was Rev. Douglass P. Burney,
pastor of the Congregational Church
at Austin, Mass. He was 80 years
of age and had wife and one
child, a babe.
Mr.. Burney was recommended ii
the highest terms by Hon. Gorham
d. Gilman and DR.. Twombley o.
Boston. The former was here dur.
ing the summer, and the latter
preached at Central Union Church
during last winter and spring
Their reports Of the gentleman
were very flattering. Both of then
wrote letters. They had made
general inquiry regarding hi:
ability and success, and had gone
to hear him preach.
On motion of Mr.. Jones it wa:
decided to postpone the matter unit
next Wednesday evening when, a,
a meeting in the same place, the
name of Rev. Mr.. Burney will be
balloted upon by the membership
