A GENUINE sensation was created

A GENUINE sensation was created
in Hilo by news in THE STAR of
the I3th inst. That account gave
the people over there the first in
timation that Deputy Sheriff Will
ans was to lose his official head and
that several scalping knives were
swinging in the direction of Col.
Gilbert F. Little, an attorney and
clerk to the sheriff. OF the latter affair
there will be more to say hereafter.
Williams meets his fate resignedly.
His retirement ends better fight
of three years. Sheriff Hitchcock
declared his belief that he was be-
ing struck at over Williams should
er and was beautifully loyal to his
deputy and friend. 1t is asserted
quite generally that the Holy
Terror" is the right man in the
the right place and that no more
trouble is possible now that Will
liams is out of the way. The Citi-
zens' Guard had recorded itself as
proposing to ignore any order from
Williams. This shows there was a
desperate determination to GUST the
man.

The process of crabs shedding during
the summer season Is as follows: The crabs
become fat; then they assume a blush look
on the back and yellow on under side.
Whom in this condition, If an outer shell
be broken, there win be found a skin sim
liar to the inner skin of an egg covering
the crab. In this stage the crab is known
as peeler. The next stage is when the
outer shell begins to open, and the crab Ia
then known as buster. When the outer
shell is stuffed, the crab is then soft crab.
II she has escaped from the cannibalistic
male crabs, who pursue her during this
period, she lies hidden In the grass In shoal
water until the next tide which hardens
her shell considerably, and the crab Is call
ed a buckrum
Buckrums are the tough crabs sold as
soft crabs, and when cooked the shell turns
red, like that Of lobster, and Is not de-
sirable on account of Its brittleness. In
another tide the crabs become truly hard
and go where they please without fear of
being devoured by the male members. The
which grown male crab shows
when he begins keeping steady company"
with a peeler can be observed In many Of
the Chesapeake waters during the sum.

IT HAS long been certain that
the Congress now sitting at Wash
ington would make an expression
or enactment looking to the "closer
political union" of that country and
this. A resolution that is little
more than basis for discussion has
been presented. Something tan
gible and positive is to be evolved
from this. The result of House and
Senate deliberations will go to Mr..
Cleveland. There is no reason to
assume that he will follow course
other than such as he has indicated
in saying this country is in the same
relation to the United States as
any other foreign government and
in failing to say whether or no he
favored "closer political union"
Many believe that President Cleve-
land will readily approve treaty
which will satisfy the advocates of
annexation.

make presentation of the Volca-
nos 1896 outbreak" as it is.
Kilauea is, next to the balmy eli
mate, the attraction for tourists. By
exploiting Halemaumau, the lake
of living lava, it is hoped to bring
to the country and to the Island OF
Hawaii people of means who will
add to the volume of circulation

to invest in lands OF

volcano chapter of an interesting

A Coat For a Word.

A poor man may possess wit so fine
that it is capable of doing him great deal
of service and then wait long time be-
fore an opportunity comes for him to exer-
else it prontably. This was the case with
an elderly tramp who was once intrusted,
for want of "a better messenger, with an
errand to the Duke of Bedford.
"Well, you're queer fellow!" said tho
duke on seeing him. "What is your nameS'
"My name is Russell, your grace"
The duke laughed heartily, for his own
name was Russell
"And how about your coat of armsr'
asked the duke. SIS that the same as the
Duke of Bedford sP'
"Ah, your grace" said the man, "om
arms may be much the same, but fancy
there's slight difference in our coatsl'
AS this fact was only too apparent, thu
duke sent for good coat of his own ant
gave it to the man.--Youth's Companion
