old story that missionaries prove the
destruction of the people. Ii is the trad
ers who do that, and on islands where
they have held the exclusive control the
native population is rapidly diminishing.
ION the islands where there are mis-
sionary stations schools have been es-
tablished, and IL is gratifying indeed
10 near these natives in their sonorous
language sing their songs OF praise We

Islands and seeing the native In can't
balistic state, but, hearing OF a mas
sacre in which several white men were
killed and their flesh eaten, we changed
our minds and returned TO Hawaii.

Zens, and think l can say without fear
of contradiction that the intelligent
classes, both native and white, are ready
and anxious to have their country an
neNed to the United States. The only
whites who oppose annexation are a few
Germans and English. AS for myself.

ON THE STAGE.

tract 10 Oakland.

OAKLAND, Cal, Feb. 12.-Mrs. Willie
Dimond, who gave up Honolulu society
and incidentally husband for Charles
D. Wilson and the stage, is to appear in
Oakland when the curtain goes down in
the Hawaiian courts, where the drama
is all so realistic. She has signed a con-
tract with A. j. Moore of the Orpheum
and W. r. DALEY, who has company
at the Oakland Theater at the present
time, and under its provisions she is to
appear here at the head of company
to be organized to support her. The
managers have decided to try Mrs. Di-
mond in burlesque, Ali Bahia being the
one chosen.
1t is planned to- secure a couple of
clever comedians to~furnish the heaviest
part of the support, and to put on we'll
costumed, bright, up-to-date show. The
managers declare that they are not re-
lying upon the former social standing
of Mrs. Dimond to carry her through,
but that in her they have an exception
ally good singer and a fairly clever act
ress, with a forcible complement Of hg-
ure. They declare that she was born for
the stage, and talk OF May Irwin and
her close resemblance to the society wo-
man. No dates have been fixed upon
as yet. for it is impossible to tell when
Mrs. Dimond Will be able to leave Homo
lulu.
