THE MORNING STAR,
BY MISSIONARY CHILDREN
From Constantinople.
New York. Nov. 70, 1896.

The story of the appearance of, the
trumpet in the basement was at once
very clear The particular place where
it was found was up until a short time
the Hawaiian Board of Foreign Mis-
sions When the Morning Star was
sold here in Honolulu all her books
and other articles of value were brought
ashore and put in this stores7room for
safe keeping. Among these things was
the trumpet.
In a very valuable book entitled 'The
Morning Star; A History of the Chill
dren's Missionary VESSEL by Mrs. Jane
S. Warren, published in the SOS by the
American Tract Society and now out of
print. is contained the following para
graph:
MANY things besides money were
given to the Morning Star. The chill
dren in Constantinople sent speaking
trumpet that was to be used in hailing
vessels which would be met out ON the
broad ocean,
The missionary children in Constan-
tinople were quite large body at the
time and were in full sympathy with
the mission of the Morning Star, so ia
miliar to people on the Islands. Since
| that time they have been divided up,
and now there are three branches.
The Morning Star sailed from Bos-
ton on December I'd, 1856 with Captain
| Samuel Moore in command. In his
possession was the speaking trumpet
The facts of the voyage as set down
in Rev. Hiram Bingham's private jour
nal and kindly furnished reporter OF
this paper by that gentleman are very
interesting. Following are some of the
extracts:

Accident to Colonel DENLY and Wife.
The Peking correspondent of the
n. c. Daily News gives the following
account of the narrow escape of Colo
mel and Mrs DENLY while on their way
to Peking: Colonel and Mrs. DENLY
on returning from Japan and while be-
ing towed up the Peiho by a steam
launch, their native house boat col1ided
with violence against the bank, which
caused the boat to lurch to the side
and fill and Immediately sink. Fortu
nately the river was not very deep nor
the current very strong at the point
where the accident occurred, or it
might have been our sad duty to chro-
nicle a fatal mishap. AS it was, the
United States Minister and his wife got
a good ducking, their effects were all
wet and they were obliged to halt for a
few hours to have their clothes dried.

MORNING STAR SPEAKING
TRUMPET.
Sketched by Harry Roberts, the Ad-
yertiSer Artist.

ton. 1t was before Japan had been
opened up, and Neeima being very anX-
ious to gain command of the English
language and learn new ideas for the
betterment of his country, succeeded
through the aid of Mr.. Hardy, promi-
nent member of the American Board
of Foreign Missions, and owner OF the
clipper ship, in getting passage on her
to Boston. He studied diligently and
then returned to his home to bring
about a vast amount Of good.
The Morning Star met other vessels
on her way to Honolulu, and the speak
ing trumpet which is the central
thought of this story was probably
used on each occasion.
Arriving off Diamond Head, small
schooner passed the missionary packet
and the captain standing on the rail
shouted, welcome, Morning STAR"
The vessel arrived in port with DR.
Bingham and continued on her voyage
after a short stay. She sailed the ocean
for nine years in the missionary work
and was then sold in Honolulu.
She was overhauled, reftted and sem
to the Orient, but was never heard o1
after that. She must have been caugh
in a terrible typhoon, as ship tina
left this port about the same time will
her got the outer edges Of one anC
came very near going under.
AS has been stated above, after tn
sale of the vessel the trumpet and othe
belongings of the ship were brough
ashore and put in the basement of Ka
Waiahao.
The trumpet as represented in tn
cut is not as it was when found. Rev
H. H. Parker gave it to H. F. Wichmar
who took out all the dents, replate
and polished it up.

/ When Kawaiahao Church was being
oTerhauled for the purpose of making
much needed repairs last year, some of
the workmen while cleaning up the re-
naming rubbish in the basement came
across a badly battered metal instru-
ment, tarnished and covered with dirt,
and looking for all the world like
piece of cast-off spouting. One of the
men was about to throw it aside with
the rubbish which had been collected,
when the weight attracted his atten-
tion.
1t was taken to Rev. Fl. H. Parker
and the securing process was brought
into play. Mr.. Parker was very much
surprised to find that it was a speaking

Don't Understand It.

UNION, S. c., Oct. 6.-The sessions
of the court of general sessions last
week was full OF surprises, even TO the
natives. There were three men tried
for their lives, charged with the fear
full crime of murder. Two white men
had killed two other white men and
one negro had killed his brother. In
each case the verdict rendered by the
petit jury was mot guilty" To say
that these verdicts surprised every per
son who heard these cases is to express
it mildly. The editor of this paper is
personally acquainted with all three OF
the men tried for murder, and has
nothing in the world against either
one of them but we are compelled to
say to them that they were exceeding,
ly fortunate men in the selection of
the juries that sat upon their cases.
We never heard the solicitor make
more able arguments than he made in
the cases, and the judge did his duty,
consequently these men are turned
loose in Union county again, by the
will, or judgment, of twelve jurymen'
Union Times.

ATTEMPTED Assassination.

ABBEvILLE, S. c., Oct. AL OF
yesterday was taken up in the trial OF
three colored persons charged with
arson in having burnt the house OF
Mr.. Milling, near New Market: The
case was given to the jury about b
o'clock in the afternoon. The jury
remained out until this morning when
they were unable to agree upon the
verdict and Judge Witherspoop or
dered a new trial. The prisoners
were defended by Graydon e Gray
don. About dark last night w. N.
Graydon, Esq, drove out TO his home,
which is about q mile from the city
limits. lie stopped al the house of a
neighbor and took his little son,
about 3 years old, in the buggy with
him. Just as he resumed his drive a
buggy containing two men passed by,
and one was heard to say: '"Ther's
Gray don, you must shoot now" One
of the men turned and fired at Gray
don three times with his pistol at q
distance of about twenty yards; one OF
the bullets barely missed his head and
the others came uncomfortably near.
There was light enough for Mr.. Gray
don TO recognize the men. While
they were not witnesses or directly in
terested in the arson case, they were
from that neighborhood and during
the day had taken great interest in the
trial. Mr.. Graydon will proceed
against them according to law. Our
citizens who have heard of the attempt
OH Mr.. Graydon's life are very indig'
nant.

nIcKinley,s Cousin Bolts.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Oct. 6.-One of
Major McKinley's d ear relatives, Will
liam B. Albro, prosperous farmer,
who resides near the little hamlet of
Cincinnatus, Cortland County, has
come out strongly for Bryan and free
silver. He does not propose to allow
family ties to interfere with his politi-
cal beliefs and will not vote for his
Ohio relative. Mr.. Albro is Major
McKinley's cousin, and lived for some
years IN the town of Millbrook, Ohio.
In an interview yesterday Mr.. Albro
said: II am sorry to say that l cannot
vote or work for McKinley's election.
l have just returned from Nebraska a,
where l lived for the past fifteen years
and where I had the pleasure of the
acquaintance of Mr.. Bryan: believe
that he is perfectly honest in his work
and know that he isa gentleman and
a Christian. 1t is for the interest of
the farmer and all people who till the
soil to vote for Bryan and Sewall."

Another Democratic sweep.

ATLANTA, Oct. S.--The following is
from A. S. Clay, chairman Democrat
ic executive committee: Georgia has
gone Democratic by 10000 majority.
Governor Atkinson is reelected by at
least 40, 900 majority over the combin-
ed opposition. The rest of the State
ticket is elected by over 45, 900 moJorl-
ty. The General Assembly is COM
posed of 175 members OF the House and
Il Senators. The Popullsts have
elected 80 members Of the House and
four Senators and the Republicans
have elected two members of the House
and one Senator. The Democrats
have elected 80 Senators and Isl Rep
resentatives. This is approximately
correct. Georgia will give Bryan and
Sewall a majority over the combined
opposition and will elect all the Dem
ocratic nominees for Congress.

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 7.-Governor
Matthews of Indiana has written the
Richmond State as follows regarding
the political situation in this State
In M reply to yours of 3oth ultimo,
which 1 have just received, l am g lad
to say that after quite an extended
canvass of the State, l have no doubt
of the result. Bryan will carry Indi'
ana by a tremendous majority. Our
people, especially in the country dis
tricts, are thoroughly aroused to the
importance of the issue. Ny advices
lead me to believe that Illinois will be
for Bryan, and Ohio may be put in
the doubtful list. Well informed
gentlemen from Kentucky feel salts
fled that Kentucky will return to the
old faith and be in the Democratic
column again"

ners but the righteous to repentance,
such as invocation to Washington I'M
ploring men to say what Washington
said and do what Washington did.
Neither let us be slandered from our
duty by false accusations against US.
Let us have faith that right makes
might, and in that faith to the end
dare to do our duty as we understand
it. We know what the nature
of the struggle in which we are en-
gagged, we are anxious only that the
people of the land shall understand
it and then our battle is won. Behlnd
the strong entrenchment of the gold
standard are gathered all those favor
ed classes it has fostered the only
dangerous classes of the land. Avarice
and unholy greed are there, every
trust ard combination is there, every
monopoly is there, led by the greatest
monopoly of the power of gold. With
us, in our assault upon these entrench-
ments. are all those unseifish men
who not now suffering themselves
cannot rest content with conditions
so full of suffering for others, and
that vaster number of our people who
have been sacrificed 10 the small and
selfish class who now resist their at.
tempts to regain their ancient rights
and liberties.
There are the patriots of 1896; the
foes of dishonest dollar which en-
riches 10 per cent. of our people to
rob the rest: the defenders of the
homes of the land, of public morals
and public faith. both of which alike
forbid the payment of government OBJ
legations in a coin costlier to those
who have to pay than that the con-
tracts call for, the defender OF the hon.
or of the nation, whose most sacred
charge is to care for the welfare of all
its citizens. The free and unlimited
coinage of silver is the sole remedy
with which to check the wrongs of to:
day, to undo the ruin of the past, and
for our inspiration we have the Justice
of our cause and those cherished prin-
ciples of Jefferson and Jackson which
shall be our guide on our return to
to power: Equal and effect iustic to
all men absolute acquiescence in de-
cisions of the majority; the vital
principles of the republic; the honest
payment of our debts and sacred
preservation OF the public faith"

honor of the nomination you tender,

perfect landslide.
And now, when only four weeks of
the campaign remains, there can be no
question as to which side is gaining.
Free silver is everywhere making its
way, and everywhere the Republican
candidates are losing ground. 1 find
this in Cleveland as 1 return to it, af.
ter weeks absence, and it is the thing
upon which all of those 1 have talked
with elsewhere are agreed. And to
to those elements of success is being
added that most potent element which
Bryan's personal touch with the peo-
pie is producing and intensifying-a
belief in the honesty of the man.
From my views of the situation, can
not think that Bryan will fail to carry
Ohio by large majority. and the
same influences that give him Ohio

A Sapsation In Sumter.

SUMTER, October 7.-Since Capt. D..
f. Keels retired from the treasurer's
office of Sumter county it has been re-
ported that he was a defaulter for sew
eral thousand dollars, but until this
term of court nothing definite was de-
veloped. At the last term of court the

keeper, to examine the books, which
he did, and the presentment OF the
