Death of Mrs. smithios.

The sad news OF the death OF Mrs.
Elizabeth Kamaka Smithies was re-
ceived yesterday by the Mauna Loa.
The deceased was well-knewn in
this co immunity as the wife of John
S. Smithies aud the mother of three
sons and three daughters, who all
have made their mark in Hawaii,
and command the respect and aloha
Of the community.
The deceased lady had been i'll for
some time, and in spite Of the best
medical attention it was known to
her intimate friends that the end
had come.
Mrs. Smithies was 60 years of age
and had been married for AZ years
to the husband who bemoans the
loss of true and faithful wife and
a good mother of his children.
Shortly before her death Mrs.
Smithiss was admitted into the Ro-
man Catholic Church by Rev Fa-
Their Olivier, and her remains were
buried in the Catholic cemetery at
Mahukopa.
Bertha Smithies, the Youngest
daughter, was with her mother tc
the last. The community has the
deepest sympathy with the bereayed
family.

MAKING TAPA.
An Art of Ancient Hawaii Now
Lost.

LOST.
The visitors to the Bishop Mu-
scum and to the private houses OF
certain Hawaiians often admire the
beautiful tGpdS, the ornamental and
useful bed cover OF the ancient Ha-
wsiians. Linen sheets, blankets,
and other "civilized" materials have
taken the place OF the tapas, and the
art OF making them is now lost to
all intsnts and purposes.
Mr. William Aud, always ready
to preserve the traditions of his ma
tive land has planted lot on
his beautiful grounds at Palama
with the sOa,lke tree, from the bark
of which the material for the max
ing of tapa is obtained, and yester-
day he kindly invited several repre-
sentatives OF the press to call at his
place and watch the process.
The bark Of the wauke (the paper
mulberry tree) is stripped, cleaned,
and placed in water for week, dur
ing which period it becomes decom
posed and PUPPY. The stencil from
it is highly obnoxious during
that time, and out-houses are used
while the bark is being decomposed.
The ibers used look to a certain ex-
tent like the ramie plant, aud it
grows we'll i'll fertile sheltered soil
When the bark has become pulp
it is worked into solid mass by
hand; then spread in thin layer
over board of hard wood and gently
beaten with tapa-sticks, pieces OF
wood cut like clubs and having de.
signs carved upon them.
The pulp, after sufficient beating
becomes a solid sheet resembling
the finest quality OF Manila paper
Five single sheets compose tapa
and as a rule the top sheet is coloreG
pink, blue or yellow, the othel
sheets being bleached perfectly
white.
Besides being ornamental the tapo
is bed cover extremely suitable tc
THE country, and it is pity that
the art of making it should have
degsnerated. The wauke tree il
easily grown here and the old folk
who know the trick of letting the
tspa-stick fall in musical rhythm
on the tapa- board may teach tn
younger generation an art, usefu
and interesting at all times.

4 PETRIFIED JESUIT CROSS.
A Colonial Relic Uncovered BY n Blnst In west
ern Pennsy IyAnia.

ALTOONA. Pa. June l2.-One OF the most re.
markable colonial relics yet found In western
Pennsylvania was unearthed at Rochester a
few days ago. II was a petritied cross, buried in
a mass of limestone rock. four feet beneath the
surface OF the earth.
Quarrymen blasting rock, after setting off a
powerful charge. found they had loosoncd a
large section OF the surface rock. On raising
the slab they discovered embedded In the lime.
stone a cross twonty-four inches In height. with
a crossarm eighteen inches long. Examination
OF the cross showed that the materials OF which
II had been made had been perfectly petrited by
the action OF limestone washinRs.
The theory advanced by local antiquaries IL
that the cross was one OF those used by tho
Jesuit Fathers in their missionary work among
the Indians. 1t Is n well.known fact that
crosses of this design, and loaden plates in.
scribcd with the royal design OF France, We're
buried throughout western Pennsylvania dur.
ing l743. The leader Of the company was a
La Chine, near Montreal. on June Is OF that
year in company with NJ. dc Contrecuur, after
ward commander of old Fort Duquesne: eight
officers, six cadets, twenty soldiers, one hundred
and eighty Canadian civilians. thirty Indians,
and a Jesuit priest.
The party proceeded from Canada over into
what is now New York State, and from there
Town the Allegheny River. At stated distances
Celcron buried the leaden plates, claiming the
country for France, while the priest did likewise
with the wooden crosses, symboliZing the work OF
the church. The petrihed cross just found Is
the first OF any Of these relics 10 be uncovered.
