KATE FIELDS ESTATE.
MIR. kohlsaat Sends Money to
Settle Her Affairs

Whatever disposition may be made
of Kate Fields remains, her business
affairs will be settled in a few days and
her effects probably shipped to the
States by the next Australia. This is
made possible by the receipt OF a good
sized check by United States Consul
General Mills, from H. H. Kohlsaat,
proprietor of the Chicago Times-Her-
aid. In this letter, received by the last
steamer, Mr.. KohIsaat encloses a letter
written by him early in July, which
had become misplaced, hence the unex-
plainable delay which has caused much
comment here in Honolulu. Mr.. Kohl
saat remarks in his letter that four diff
ferent parties have written him, each
telling of different places where Miss
Field had expressed a wish for her re-
mains to rest. Until something more
definite can be obtained, he recon-
mends that the body remain in Homo
lulu
10y I41S HAL SOnSuI
Mills received orders from Washington
to search Miss Fields effects for her
will. The greater part of last Friday
and Saturday was given up to a most
careful search among the many papers,
but nothing was found of the missing
will, or anything that could give a
clue to Miss Fields wishes as to the
disposition of her affairs. Thus her
friends are as much in the dark as
ever, and there seems to be nothing to
do but wait for further search among
the effects stored in Washington How
ever, the many friends in Honolulu
will be gratifed to learn that arrange
ments are complete for the settlement
of Miss Fields estate, and will appre-
ciate the liberality of Editor Kohlsaat

TOOLS STOLEN.
Thief Enters Charles Achi's House
and Makes Good Raid.

Messrs.- w. A Smith, Frank Lewis,
NJ. Larsen and Anderson, carpenters
working on the building on Liliha
street, now being built for Charles
Achi. found themselves minus tools
when they returned to the scene of
their labor yesterday morning and so
had to return home
The tools were put away after work
on Saturday and between that time and
Monday morning some one got into
the place took nine saws, one block
plane and one jack plane. The police
have their suspicious as to the thief.
There was quite a joke on some of
the police officers yesterday morning
when the theft was reported. 1t seems
that there are five officers who live in
the immediate vicinity of Achi's house
and their comrades wanted to know if
citizens could not be better taken care
of with so many guardians of the
peace about.

in this paper short time ago, giving
the names of certain native fishes and
the modes of preparation of the same

Only day or SO after the article
came out, ladies began to ask frantic
ally after Mr.. Keliipio, and when found
on these various and numerous occa-
sions he was simply deluged with all
sorts of questions regarding the identi-
ty of certain fishes with names which
they could not remember, but which
they thought were something like che
mama" or 'whoohoo." They wanted
to know if the fish were red, white,
blue or yellow; whether their noses
were long, short or absent, and a great
many other points of information
which they considered would help
them to pick out the required finny
creatures. Then came questions about
''kohalaing" and "poolayooing'' and
boiling, baking and frying, which
kept Mr.. Keliipio guessing pretty hard.
The sad part of the tale remains to
be told After all the education given
to the ladies on points regarding diff
ferent fish, they returned again to ask
the same questions.
Mr.. Keliipio may issue a chart soon
with the pictures of the various fishes
upon 1t.

Puro Gold.
+. p. BAKER.

Gold, when refined from all impur-
files and alloys of inferior metals, Is
denominated pure. This means gold
of twenty-four carats, and this Is the
standard recognized by the mint mas
ter and dealers in gold. AS a matter
OF fact, however, there is no gold so
pure. Gold of twenty-five carats Is
about as pure as 1t can be got. 1t mas

eighteen carat gold is the best gold
that can be had. Certainly 1t Is the

The Man-Faced Crab.

One OF the most singular looking
creatures that ever walked the earth,
says Dr. Shiesof, is the famous man
faced crab of Japan. Its body is hard
ly an inch in length, yet the head Is
fitted with a face which Is the perfect
counterpart of Chinese coolie-with
eyes, nose and mouth all clearly de-
fined. This curious creature, besides
the great likeness 1t bears to human
being in the face. is provided with two
legs, which seem to grow from the top
of its head and hang down over the
sides Of its face. Besides these legs,
two feelers, each about an inch in
length. grow from the chin of the ami
NAL. looking for all the world like a
forked beard. These man-faced crabs
literally swarm in the waters of the
inland seas of Japan.

Indeed. they are not blacks at all, but
belong to the comely. light skinned
family found In Samoa and Hawaii.

had a system of tribal feuds that Is

the terms were inexorably fixed by tbo

fee by the aborigines.
To this circumstance and to tho
strong native intelligence and combat
iveness of the Maoris is due the fact
that the aboriginals are still very much
in New Zealand politics. They sit In
parliament and hold office. They have
discovered a rich vein OF eloquence.
To some extent, since their contact
with the English, they have learned
the pleasing arts of diplomacy, such as
lying and cheating.
Thus. II Mr.. Seldom had nothing to
do but attend to the Maoris, he would
be what is ordinarily accounted a busy
man. But. as we have seen. this is
only one budget pigeonholed in his
capacious and many sided days work.
