Thus q means of communication was
speedily found, and before the party OF
Californians had been upon the Rara-
tonga island twenty-four hours they
were very friendly with the monarch.
He, dear old fellow, was one of the most
amiable Of kings. Progressive, eager to
learn and full of kindness for all human
beings. he eagerly grasped the ideas
brought forward by Mr.. Banks, and
within q month was putting them in
operation upon the island.
He had a telephone inserted between
his audience hall and the council cham
ber, and he put telephones between diff
Banks mansged in crude though ef-
fective way by means Of wires and tin
cups.
The king also considered the advisa-
bility of an electric plant, as exploited by
his white guest, for telegraph. lighting
and heat, and began with the crude ma
terials on hand to establish one.
All these took time, and while the
work was going on he became more
firmly cemented in friendship to his
American adviser. Finally he would take
no refusal, but that Mr.. Banks should
, become his son-in-law and accept a
place by his side upon the throne. This
the American, who had become In love
with his new home. was very glad to do,
and he accepted the wife and the seat
with equal equanimity.
But the old king was not content with
this, and secretly longed for new honors
to heap upon his son-in-law. Finally,
upon his sixtieth birthday, he resolved
to abdicate the throne and to place on
the great big carved chair the American.
Fred Banks. He did this, and there the
American sits today.
WANTS A WHITE WIFE.
To a yachtsman who accidentally
touched upon the island six months ago,
and who, hearing of his countryman's
position, called upon him, the American
king said that If he had an ungratified
wish 1t was for white wife of his own
country. He said that his dusky wife,
the old kings daughter, while sweet and
l)vable, and all that man could wish,
was yet insufficient to him, because of
her inability to discuss with him the life
of the United States, which he has never
forgotten. IF could have San Fran
cisco girl or woman from any one of
the United States. would be perfectly
HAPPY She might not be as amiable as
my dark wife, but she would be one
of my own kin, as it We're, and should
rejoice in her. 9k
"She would live surrounded with
slaves and pampered is every way. She
could wear civilized garments or she
could deck herself out in the beads and
shells which l have. out of compliment
to the natives, adopted. She could have
the whole revenue of the island and
be queen in every sense of the word

Dodges a Sure Thing Verdict and Confesses
Practical Insolvency.
The action of DR.. l. L. Bond in plac.
ing his property out of his own hands
prior to verdict that was sure and fore.
stalled by public opinion, has been the
theme of conversation in town today.
That DR.. Bonds properties were sold by
Colvin & Teal's agency. that he repudi
ated that agency and attempted to re-
pudiate them as citizens, that he tread
near to the point where testimony be-
comes perjury is not doubted in many
circles, and there are few who hold
otherwise. The virtual admission of fear
Of the verdict may not lead to DR.. Bonds
bankruptcy; indeed, he may escape so
unhappy condition, but his treatment
of Colvin and Teal and the verdict have

Bond is not absolutely busted" May
be he has something left. If so, it is
hoped that he may settle with the men
that sold his mines and who saved him
from bankruptcy. Those acquainted
with the genial doctor have M doubt that
he will do the right thing by himself, a,
any rate.

Sentence Upon H. {. Mellor.

ing Judge Boughton ordered H. C. Mel
lor to be brought before him to receive
his sentence. The judge then proceeded
to pass sentence upon the convicted man,
giving him the fullest extent Of the law,
sentence for life. The business of the
sentence was shown in some we'll direct
ed words by Judge Boughton. illustrating
how the public sympathy for the prisoner
was well meant but misdlreCted; the
murdered man, the widowed wife and
orphaned child were all forgotten, he
said, in this unreasoning sympathy for
the man about to suffer the penalty for
what is considered the most heinous
crime in the eyes of the law
The court then proceeded to the prom
issory note case of Hughes VS.. Hans

At the conclusion of today's session,
Judge Boughton adjourned court until
December 20. when special jury will be
summoned, and the court docket cleaned
