Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-

excruciating pains and possibly saved
us from an untimely grave. We would
not rest easy over night without it in

saves more pain and suffering than
any other medicine in the world.

Melville Marx, of the Columbia The
atre. San Francisco, who is directing
the tour of the Frawley Company, has
made arrangements with Frank L.
Hoogs, whereby the company will play
the coming season under the manage
ment of the latter.
The enjoyment of the well-known
organization promises to be the great
est dramatic success in the history Of
Honolulu. The result will be watched
by theatrical managers abroad with in
terest, and if the proper attention is
paid the Frawley Company, from box
office point of view, this city will be
favored in the future by visits from
other first-class companies.
A successful sale of seats in the baro-
meter by which theatrical men figure;
if it is large, the outlook is encourag-
ing. If the public take no interest in
a company, the sale shows that fact.
The demand for seats for the Frawley
engagement is good; so good that the
management have decided to hold a
season sale. 1t will commence on next
Monday morning at the Hebron Drug
Company There will be twelve per-
formances in all; the best seats will
cost SIS for the season; SO will be

OPIUM RAID.
Sam zee Hop on King Street Sue
combs TO the Police.


Shortly after six O'Clock last night
Lieut. Fernandez. Clerk Sea, of the
police station and two officers, visited
Sam zee Hops fruit store on King
street next to John Motifs hardware
store with the expectation of finding
opium.
While one of the officers occupied
the attention of the proprietor Clerk
Sea passed through the door at the
back of the shop and assembled a short
fight of steps leading to the attic. His
progress was stopped by a door which
seemed barred. knocking for admit
lance he was answered from the other
side. In pure Cantonese George asked
for admittance and the door was open
ed by Chinaman.
On hunks inside the room two men
were in the act of smoking dope. They
were placed under arrest and the smok
ing outfit, consisting of pipes, lamps,
scale, horns of opium, lichee nuts
ready to be filed with the drug seized
and removed to the lower floor. The
proprietor of the place was then placed
under arrest and careful search made
of the store. Boxes were opened and
contents examined, but no more of the
drug could be found.
While the search was being made
down stairs the proprietor of the place
stood in the back doorway watching
the proceedings with evident interest.
When the officers finished with the
down stairs part of the building they
decided to make another search on the
upper floor and the proprietor Joined
the officers. When he got half way up
the ladder a horn of opium fell down,
presumably dropped by the proprietor,
but when accused of it he charged one
of the searching party with having put
up the job.
In the smoking, room there was
hole in the wall neatly covered with a
piece of paper, and it was said that
when the raid was made upstairs a
quantity of opium was thrown into this
hole and fell to the ground between the
partitions The three prisoners were
locked up in the station and will have
a hearing this morning.

The Red Man and the Bicycle.

"The noble red man may yet be civil
lized by means of bicycles" said A.
l.. Bartlett, of Beatrice, Neb., at the
Regent. "The Otoe tribe have steadily
resisted all efforts to induce them to
become citizens, and their numbers
have dwindled until but few of them
remain. In fact, there are few more
Indians in Nebraska now than in New
York and Indiana. A few days ago
one of the chiefs of the Otoe Tribe Wis.,
tied Beatrice and became much inter-
ested in bicycles. The owner thought
it would be fun TO let the old Indian
learn to ride, and it was not long be-
fore the chief had mastered tho art.
Then he must have wheel of his own,
and not having any money he traded
four ponies for one. He rode it to
the reservation and next day half a
dozen Indians came to town, bringing
ponies to trade for bicycles. 'Ride
faster. No feed, they say, and when
the bicycle manufacturers learn this
new field it is probable that they will
reap harvest, and the Indiuns will
lay aside their primitive customs and
join the l.. A. w. in body."-Wash'

Caracas is hanked and backed by n
famous coffee and cacao region, and as
these products are the principal ones
OF the country's so called agriculture,
the city becomes the only point of
conveyance for them before they are
shot down the seaward side of the
mountain, through La Guaira, into
the export steamers. Caracas cacao is
second only to that OF Ecuador in the
foreign market, though the Mexican
is perhaps as good and "La Gunira"
coffee was famous before il became
simply false Mocha and Java.
In 1877 coffee was SO cheap in all
markets--four cents and less per pound
in La Guaira-that large numbers of
plantations we're destroyed and reset
with cacao trees. But since the use of
coffee now increases faster than the
production, coffee raising has become
profitable beyond most products, and
Venezuela is gaining greatly in pros
perity, and Caracas planters in easily
earned wealth, many citizens having
country plantations, and taking life
more without care than the old cotton
planters.
The enchanting Venezuelan capital
would be, with the sanitary care of
this capital city, one of the healthiest
cities of the world. At present it is
one of the safest of South American
cities, seldom being troubled even
with yellow fever, and then in mild
form. Latterly more care has been
given to sanitation, with obvious ben.

can never let go. He must go the
whole figure, engorge his victim or
fail and be trailed along open.mouthed
until he dies.
When dinner time comes and the
chiasmodon is very hungry he selects
q fish about twice his own length and
of almost any bulk. He approaches
his prey cautiously from behind and
seizes him firmly in that giant mouth.
After the first brief flight and struggle
are over the real job of swallowing be-
gins. The jaws are unhinged and
steadily the swallower climbs over his
victim. This is the time when the
elastic skin is called into play. Up to
this stage of the proceeding the chias-
modon has been long, lean fish, but
as the prey disappears inch by inch
within those horrid jaws it is crowded
down into the stomach, which distends
to accommodate it.

AN OCEAN FREAK.
Tho Deep Sea Fish known as the
"Black Swallower."


The chiasmodon is one of the rarest
creatures known to science. Only
three specimens of it have ever been
seen, 80 far rs naturalists have any
record. And Of these none was taken
alive. The chiasmodon is generally
known as the "black swallower." 1t
is not understood that he has any mis-.
sion on earth except to swallow, and
the only reason he ever comes to die is
that he does his work too we'll. This
"black swallower" is q deep sea fish,
dwelling, when he is ut home, in about
1900 fathoms of water. The only
specimens that have been obtained
have oil been picked up in the North
Atlantic. not far from the Newfound-
land coast. They are built for their
business. In color they are inky
black, as the name indicates, save on
the stomach. The body is long and
of almost uniform thickness. The
taper of the tail is very abrupt. They
are devoid of scales. The skin is per-
fectly smooth. A scaly coat would
interfere with perfect elasticity, and
that is the "black swallower's" neces-
sarily strong point. He must stretch
or his Job is gone.
OF course, this fish, swallowing the
monsters that he does, must have a
mouth constructed especially for the
purpose. His head is subconic in
shape, narrowing forward, and this
egregious, oil swallowing mouth is
deeply cleft. IL runs away back of
his eyes and il filed with teeth, which

side, and public Offices of large pro-
portions on another, you may see the
splendid equestrian statue of Bolivar.
The 9th of July is celebrated in
Venezuela officially in each city with
orations in the Legislative or municipal
chambers, professions headed by the
chief officials and foreign representa-
tives, to the churches, ending with a
mass and fireworks. The writer can
never forget one such celebration, in
which the orator, as is usual, lauded
Washington and Bolivar as the great
liberators, and in which, side by side
with General Carabano, he aided in
officially representing the two Re-
pub,ics. We of the older Republic
do not sufficiently appreciate how the
best people of the new ones love the
liberties they have and the ancient
difficulties they have to combat in
sustaining them.
On the western edge .! the city of
Caracas is round hill OF considerable
extent, upon which is located the dis
tributing reservoir of the city water
works, and q fine public garden,
adorned with flowers and shrubbery
along oren and shaded walks, center
ing at n heroic statue of Guzman
Blanco, the self.styled and to some ex.
tent real "illustre Americana" and
'regenerador" of his country. He
certainly gave it vigorous forward
impulse, and took his pay as he went
along. From the hill, which is reached
by beautiful carriage ways and walks,
one may study at leisure nearly the
whole city spread below, the greater
extent of the PLAIN, and the surround
ing mountain masses. The view is one
OF mingled loveliness and grandeur,
and when the bells from the numerous
churches ring out their chimes and
the music comes back in softened
echoes, repeated from the mountains,
until the air is saturated with softest
and almost saddest melody, the un-
reality of it all becomes intense. And
thep, beneath it all, sleeps the earth
quake and the possible ruin. This
thought returns and makes paradise
imperfect.
