RIENTALLUXURP AT HOME

The wonders of the Orient lay re-
vealed before the eyes of all who care
TO see them, and that, too, without it
being necessary to journey to lands
across the seas.
The Oriental never does any more
work than is necessary, and when not
working, his engrossing care Is to
make himself comfortable. In many
respects the art of living appears bet
ter understood in the East than in
our bustling Western world.
There is now hardly fashionable
home that has not its Oriental room
or rooms, or at least its coy corner;
sometimes the latter is Japanesque in
effect, sometimes Turkish; but what
ever it is, be sure it is the result of an
inner craving for the beautiful things
of life.

POPULAR SCHOOL ON MAUI.
Interesting Talk on the Progress of
the Institution.
Nr. Abbott Is Here to Attend Summer
school COMMUNICATIONS a Favor
lite Exercise Sotes.

In a pleasant chat with a repre-
sentative of this paper yesterday,
Mr.. Abbott, one of the teachers at
Lahainaluna school, Maui, now in
the city to attend the Summer
School Convention, spoke very in
terestingly upon the institution of
which he is member.
"Our attendance at Lahainaluna
last year." said Mr.. Abbott, "was
a slight decrease of the previous
one, which fact / attribute to polit-
zeal troubles on the islands. Ac-
cording to present indications the
attendance this year will be be-
tween sixty and seventy.
"Of course, the majority Of pupils
at Lahainaluna are native boys,
and bright fellows they are, too.
The majority Of them come from
Maui, but Kona, Hawaii, furnishes
a goodly number every year. The
Kona boys prove to be energetic
and faithful students. They keep
the Maui contingent on the alert at
all times.
eve are trying to boom athletics
at Lahainaluna, being of the opin-
ion that development of the physi-
cal should go hand in hand with
mental power. 1t has been an idea
of mine to introduce tennis among
the scholars. / consider this the
very best exercise which could
possibly be given them. Naturally
agile and quick of thought and
action, they would develop great
talent for the game. The only OBJ
stacle in the way is the fact that
the boys are poor and tennis out
fits costly. If some establishment
in the States will furnish the requi-
site articles at a very low rate, L
shall try to make arrangements to
obtain such.
''We are all enthusiastic over
Lahanialuna, and shall do every
thing possible to keep the school
up to the highest mark"

SLUGGED A POLICEMAN.
Joe Dillon Arrested on a Charge
of Assault.

of Assault.
officer Bartholomew, whose post
of duty is at the boat landing, had
an experience last night which he
will probably. not forget very soon.
Joe Dillon, one of the boat boys,
got into little scrap with one of
his friends who had been talking
with him on the boat landing.
Officer Bartholomew stepped up to
the pair and arrested Dillon, whom
ne thought was the prime mover in
the affair.
All went well until the officer
and his prisoner arrived at the
corner of Queen street and Nuuanu
avenue, when Dillon made a jump
at Bartholomew, struck him ter
rife blow in the face, knocking the
officer to the ground.
Bartholomew was plucky, and
although dazed, started on chase
after his prisoner, who had made a
break for liberty and succeeded in
overtaking and landing him at the
police station, where he now rests
with the charge of assault and
battery on an officer" against his
name.

A RrIdpn hummer Killed.

Patrick King Callahan, more Familiarity
known as "King' Callahan, the profess
sional bridge jumper, leaped from the
Poughkeepsie bridge into the Hudson riv-
er, a distance of PIP feet, early Sunday
morning. He was accompanied by two or
three friends, while others we're in waiting
in boats under the bridge. Two inflated
bladders were tied to Callahan's shoulders.
"Good-by, old sports, I'll meet you down
below" yelled Callahan as he leaped into
space. His body shot down toward the
water at a rapid rate, wavering to one side
and then the other. When about 20 feet
from the water Callahan's body inclined
and struck the water with terrific force.
He sank and came to the surface moaning
He was at once pulled into boat and TAX
en- ashore. Callahan stood up in the boat
to show that he was uninjured and he
walked to hotel, but there he lay down
exhausted. Callahan declared that he was
all right, but physicians who visited him
late in the day found him suffering from
internal injuries and in state of collapse.
He died in the evening Callahan was
u years old, and a native of Ireland. He
jumped from the Brooklyn bridge last July.
His jumps were made to gain notoriety so
that he would be an attraction on the
stage.

Another Armenian Massacre.
$50 Persons Killed and Several Burned
Alive at the stake.

100 Persons Killed and Several Burned
Alive at the Stake. SIS.
Another terrible massacre has been com
mitted upon Armenians near Baiburt. 1t
is alleged that 500 Musselmans armed with
rifles made an unprovoked attack upon
the Armenians of several villages. A num-
Der of young men and women were burn
ed alive at stakes and many women were
maltreated and horribly mutilated After
the churches had been desecrated the mob
pillaged the villages and stole all the cattle
and other property of value. Over $50
Armenians were killed. Application has
been made to the governor of Baiburt for
protection, but he sent only three gen.
darmes, who did not arrive until the murder
and pillage were over.
The news of this latest outrage has made
painful impression in diplomatic circles,
and is regarded as affording fresh evidence
of the necessity for prompt and energetic
action on the part of the powers to pre-
vent further outrages by the swift punish
ment of those found guilty. Later Ar
menian advices from Erzinjenan estimate
that several hundred Armenians were kill
ed in the recent disturbances there. The
| Turkish version speaks of so having been
| killed.

The Friendship of Russia and France
FOR the United States.
1t is stated on good authority that when
Prince Cantacuzene, the late Russian am
bassador at Washington, paid his farewell
visit to Secretary Olney he recalled the
friendship of Russia to the United States,
as manifested by Emperor Alexander, who
sent squadron to New York when France
and England threatened to recognize the
Southern ConfederacY. Prince Cantacu-
zene, it is said, intimated, in guarded di-
plomatic phrase, that should similar
emergency arise the good offices of Russia
could be again depended upon.
To show how completely England is iso-
lated in its foreign policy, it is stated that
when Rio JaneIio was being bombarded by
Admiral Mello's fleet, and before our Ad-
miIal Benham broke the blockade, Great
Britain proposed to send a squadron to
Brazilian waters which would outnumbeI
the American force. The French minis
ter, by instructions of his government,
waited upon Secretary Gresham and assur-
ed him that for every additional warshiI
sent by England France would send two

Incredible Results Of the Drouth at the
Headwaters of the Ohio.

Headwaters OF the Ohio.
A Pittsburg Pa, despatch of the Goth
of October says there is less than foot of
water in the Ohio river at that place, and
the great artery of traffic is like stagnant
mill pond. Navigation, except in skiffs
and fat boats, has been entirely suspended,
and scores of steamboats, are settling in
the mud. 1t is stated that the earth is
perfectly dry to depth of Is feet. Owing
to the baked condition of the ground many
riyermen do not expect rise this year, and
30,000,000 bushels of coal in the harbor
will have to wait for the spring freshet to
float it.
The worst drouth is in the Allegheny
mountains, where old springs have dried
up. Water is sold by the barrel in Altoona

long absence of rain has made everything

SO Miles at the Rate of "a Miles an
Hour.

Hour.
1t is claimed that a train running on the
Lake Shore IL Michigan Southern rail-
road Friday broke the worlds record. The
distance between Chicago and Buffalo, $40
miles, was traversed, including stops, at
the rate of SO. 10 miles an hour, or, exclud-
ing stops, of 64.9S miles an hour. The
train included an engine and three draw
ing-room coaches. This beats the long
distance English record made by the West
Coast express, running from London to
Aberdeen, in August last. The distance
from London to Aberdeen is $40 miles and
was accomplished at the rate of go miles
an hour. The English train was composed
of two eight-wheeled carriages and pro-
lection van and carried twelve passengers.
A portion of the run-100 miles in Scot
land-was accomplished at the rate of "a
miles an hour, speed which up to that time,
August 81, 1895, mad never been exceeded
in the history of Scottish railway travel.
On the last division between Erie and Buff
falo Creek, distance of eighty-siX miles,
the average speed was 1879 miles per hour.
Now the Atchison proposes to cut down
the long distance record, and expects to
make the distance between Chicago and
Los Angeles, 2265 miles, in "A hours. The
fastest heretofore has been 50 hours and IL
