KING OMALEA'S ADVENTURES.
North CaroIinian Who Became Mon
arch of Four Islands.
Nom Y0rE Suu

&ftW Il Urn bUH-
Col. John F. II obbs, or King Omalea, mon
arch of four islands in the New Hebrides
group, who was married to Miss Ella Collin
Wednesday in New York, was bornin N orth
Carolina thirty-six years ago.
He was sent by the London Labor So
ciety in $50 toinvestigate the slave traffic
in Kanakas. While sailing among theislands
on his mission his vessel was wrecked by
hurricane, and after three days battling
with the storm he was rescued by natives
and taken ashore. Instead of being tortured
and put to death, as is customary, his life
was spared, but he was treated as pris-
oner.
TheI.likas were atthat time at war with
neighboring tribe, and Col. Hobbs began
to instruct them in the arts of m odern war
fare, teaching them how to lie in ambush
and to use the sword. They triumphed over
their enemies, and Col. Hobbs was looked
upon as a special messenger of their deity
and was freed from captivity.
In $50 the king died, after ovrrindulging
in a feast of cocoanut wine and roast pig
stuffed with bananas. AS he left no heir to
the throne, Col. Hobbs was chosen mon
arch. He says the choice was made because
his light compile Xion appealed to their super
stitions, and they thought he was a kins-
man of the Great White Spirit, the tribal
deity
There are four islands in the Ilikan group.
with population Of 80 900 or o,000 in
habtants.
'They were cannibals when they rescued
me in 1882 said Col. Hobbs, but after /
was chosen king the practice was stopped.
When the natives were celebrating one of
their victories after their custom l told
them that cannibalism was nothing more
than selfishness, and when they killed an
other they were robbing the Great White
Spirit. This appeal to their religious super
stition won them over, and since then there
has been nothing of the kind.
"They have a curious custom in regard to
one Of their ornaments continued Col
Hobbs. "For each man killed they wear an
eye tooth of some animal strung with beads
about the neck. The head chief has sixty in
his string. The principal exports of the
| islands are pearl shells, cocoanuts spice
| and dried fish. They use porpuise teeth for
money"

There were thoughts that the Pittsburg

some kind Of a deal. Last trip the sena-
torial management offered Demont to sew

vanced by people with the Senators that
frequently when two teams are losing an
exchange of players brings luck and steadi-
ness to both. II is believed that the Wash

said no deals were on.

between the Pirates and Senators. 1t Is
reported that Mercer will go in the box
again today. but 1t Is more likely that
Swain will do the pitching for the Wash

Pitcher McDermott was given his re-

done fairly well, but the club has plenty OF
pitchers without him.
The Louisville club Is still on the lookout
for players. They made big mistake
when they released Rogers, ard this fact Is
becoming apparent day by day.
Van Haltren and Herman are doing gilt

close and exciting up to the fifth inning,

Bad field play and battery work by the
senatorial outfit can be blamed for the de-
feat by the reorganized Pirates today. The
error column looks rather ragged. Three of
these bungles figured in run-counting. The
winning tally came in on a double steal

the other runIer struck the plate.

WILL DIVERT TRAVEL.
How the Endeavorer Business, East
Bound. Will Go.

Chicago, July 10-There is bound to
be some trouble over the eastbound
business from the Christian Endeavor
convention. When the rates and ar
engagements were made for the con-
vention the transcontinental roads
made no arrangements 10 receive the
westbound business and the reduced
rates to the Pacific coast were not
made available via st. Paul and Min
neapOlis.
It was clearly understood, however
that the northern roads were out for
all of the eastbound business that it
would be possible for them to secure
and to reward them for letting the
westbound business alone, the other
transcontinental roads agreed that no
stopovers Should be allowed on east
bound traffic coming via Colorado and
Utah. 1t was announced this morn
ing. however, that the Colorado Mid
land, the Rio Grande Western and the
Denver & Rio Grande had sold large
ru1rDer CT tickets which allow stop
overs at nearly all of the interesting
places in Colorado and Utah. The eff
feet of this will be to divert the travel
from the northern roads and it is half
expected that they will meet the vio-
lation of the agreement by reduction
in the eastbound rates from the con-
vention. Chairman Caldwell of the
Western Passenger association has
called a meeting for Monday to con-
slider the matter

Rowland Hall.

Since Rowland Hall has just finished a
school session unusually successful both
in number of students and scholarly at
tainments. 1t seems but just to the school
that its patrons and friends should know
of its work and progress during the past
! year and its prospects for the coming
/ year.
Each member of the faculty of Rowland
! Hall is a specialists of recognized merit in
her own department. Among these teach
erS are Mrs. Is. T. Hamilton, who has
charge of the vocal department; Miss
/ Flanders. who has the piano and har-
mony classes; Miss Hayden. principal of
the preparatory department, and Mrs.
/ William Jennings, VINO has entire charge
/ of the French and German of the school,
and Jenne Long, elocution and dramatic
reading. Mrs. Jennings has been recently
added as a resident in the Rowland Hall
family and full member of its corps of
teachers, and. in addition to the class
room work will conduct conversational
half hours in German with the little peO
pie of the kindergarten and lower pri
mary grades.
The other members of the faculty are
graduates of our best eastern colleges,
and while they are not well-known in
Salt Lake outside the Rowland Hall cir
cles, they are women who are well known
among eastern educators and have been
chosen because of their high standing in
their special departments of intellectual
work.
Miss Colburn, principal of the school.
spends every summer in the New Eng
ed with the working methods of the lead
ing schools and the requirements of the
best women's colleges. During the past
year the plan of work has been esDec-
Tally modelled after that of the eastern
schools whose successful working Miss
Colburn has studied. Specimens of writ
ten recitations. tests and examinations in
all grades of the work at Rowland Hall
have been presented TO the faculty of
Smith college and have been approved
there, so that Rowland Hall graduates
fT0n ar1fa rhnr ..aIr
without examination.
The school also gives careful attention
to the physical development of its pu-
pills. II has daily required class work
in the gymnasium. and basketball and
tennis courts for outdoor amusement and
exercise.
The faculty feel reasonably proud of
the recent intellectual victory. in obtain
ing the certificate right at Smith college
but perhaps not less proud of the recent
victories of its basketball team. Mems
sana in eorpore sano'' is the principal by
which the Rowland Hall faculty intends
TO educate its students. and il is only a
justice to the people of Salt Lake that
they should know that they have in their
midst school which aims to keep in
touch with the best schools and most
earnest educators of our country 1t
gives an opportunity to educate our child
rem at home in d school as well ecuinDt-l
in all its departments as the best schools
in the east
