STORY OF TWO LEPERS.
Ran Away from the Settlement and
Came to Honolulu.
Channel in Small Boat-Men
in HIding-One Captured.

Palea, leper who escaped from
kalaupapa some six months ago
was captured by Detective KAPPA
in a house back of the home OF
Charles Clarke, Liliha street, on
Thursday night. The story of the
leper since his escape is as follows:
Palea and a comrade, Ben Ka-
mau-u, left the leper settlement at
Kalaupapa, Molokai, in canoe
about dusk and set sail for Oahu,
making in the direction of Dia-
mond Head. A heavy sea was
running and the strong wind made
the trip most dangerous one in so
small craft. Frequently it look
ed as if the poor unfortunates
would surely be drowned. Both
were kept busy either bailing out
the canoe or managing it. The
wind died down and the men
reached the coast of Oahu during
the next night at point between
Kaalawai AMI Maunalua, just ex-
actly where Is not known. They
struck out for a hiding place and
remained there for two weeks,
when Ben Kamau-u gave himself
up and was sent back to Molokai.
He vouchsafed no information as
to the whereabouts of Palea.
Since that time the authorities
have been on the lookout for the
remaining refugee, but not until
recently could any information
regarding his whereabouts be
cleaned.
Palea has long been identified as
an opium fend, and it is probably
to that circumstance he can at
tribute his capture.
When Detective KAPPA went to
the house off Liliha street and
among a series of taro patches, he
found Palea stretched out on bed
In full enjoyment of the seduc-
tive fumes of opium.
He expressed no surprise at be-
ing arrested, but seemed rather to
enjoy the prospect of returning to
Molokai On the road to the leper
receiving station at Kalihi he de-
livered himself as follows:

you are mistaken. When | LETT

The giraffe is not hardy animal in
captivity. 1t does not thrive on dry
food, like most ruminant animals,
which do almost as we'll on hay as on
grass. In the wild state the giraffe
feeds almost entirely on the leaves
and twigs Of a species Of acacia which
the Beers call kameel-doorn, or camel
thorn, the giraffe itself being known
to them as kameel, or camel. The
food imparts to the flesh a pungent
aromatic flavor which makes giraffe
steaks a delicacy highly esteemed by
African hunters.
There is no animal which gives it's
keeper more trouble in menagerie,
not even the treacher0us elephant.
While the giraffe is gentle in DISPOSE
ton, and not given to attack, even in
the wild state, it is stupid and obsti-
nate, and cannot be taught to mind.

gateway that is practicable to bring

constant wars between the natives and
the Beers and English.
At the beginning of the present cen
fury CRATES ranged as far south as
the banks of the Orange river, but
they are not to be met now below the
North kalahari country.
There has never been a very large
number of CRATES in American collec-
lions, though in 1883 one great show
went long on CRATES, and exhibited a
herd of twenty-one, the largest num-
Der probably that has ever been seen
together, since in the wild state they
do not herd in large numbers, and are
never found in groups of more than
four or five.
