STATUE Of LAFAYETTE
WHAT CONSUL VOSSION THINKS
OF 1T.
Lafayette was Not an Adventurer-Hi
Fame Requires No Statue-IIawaii-
an Children Should Keep Pennies.
Honolnln October 10. $50

honolulu October 10, 1898.
To the Editor of The Star.
Sir: Having been asked by several
parties about my opinion in the
matter of the intended subscription
by the school children of the Islands
to statue of Lafayette, permit me
to reply to my honorable inqurers.
through the medium of your esteem
ed paper.
| do not see any sensible reason
why the said children should take any
part in this subscription. The fall of
Yorktown took place in 1881, five
years after the death of Captain Cook
in kealekekua Bay, and it would re
quire the vivid imagination of
Mark Twain to discover any connec-
ton between any event in the long
life of Lafayette and the Hawaiian
history. The ceremony of the 18th
of August cannot alter this fact.
To have any meaning at all. the
subscription should have been strict
ly limited to the sons of the Colonial
families in the thirteen original
states. History is the only reliable
statufier, and Lafayette will have his
place in the Pantheon of times. But
when it comes to raising subscrip-
tions, in the Hawaiian Islands, it
simply passes comprehension.
There is, moreover, no such thing
as enduring gratitude from nation
to another for favors conferred. The
sentiment is only good for high SCUM
ding proclamations, or after dinner
oratorical efforts. 1t is so now. has
always been and will ever be, the ONLY
real and active feature in politics; no
more, no less.
| wonder how it could be possible
for the children of our so many mix
ed races in Honolulu, of every paren-
tage, coming from Asia, from the
Azores, from Norway, from every
point of the compass, to find any in
terest whatever in Lafayette. 1t is a
question of common sense.
incidentally, as one of the evening
papers here has said, that LAFAYETTE
was merely an adventurer (incIuding.
probably, in the verdict d'Estaing, de
Grasse or Rochambeau), permit me TO
say simply, that such was not the
opinion of the American soldiers in
the trenches of Yorktown, nor of the
brave lads of CORVALLIS, either.
Anyhow, as a transient on these
beautiful islands and entitled to my
individual opinion, apart from my Of
f1cial duties, | advise the children of
the Hawaiian Islands, as you have
already so wisely done, sir, to keep
carefully their little pennies for
themselves, as there is no more rea-
son for them to subscribe for sta.
tue to Lafayette, than there would be
TO help raising temple to the moon.
or monument to Bolivar.
Believe me, sir, your very obedient
servant,

WAS WORSE THAN NENFR
PRIMO DE RIVERA'S EVIL CAREER
IN SPAIN.
y Polished Fiend That has the Conf
dence of Queen Christina and of all
the Court Party.

Captain General Primo de Rivera is
the very type of the polished scoun-
drel, who by his smooth tongue and
talent for intrigue has managed to
win to Il marked degree the confiden-
ces of the queen. Indeed, she has APP
parently forgotten the circumstances
which led him to be shot at some ten
years ago and severely wounded by
one of his officers, a major, who had
been subjected to persecution of the
most incredible character at the hands
of the general at the instigation of a
demi-mondaine, whose anger the ma
jor had incurred, and who had the
general completely under her sway.
The major, who was driven by des-
peration to the act, was sentenced to
death and executed, leaving wife
and children in a penniless condition,
while the queen seems to think that
the general was shot at and severely
wounded while in the performance of
his duty, and therefore possesses a
claim upon her good will Even Wey-
Ter with his brutality is preferable to
Primo de Rivera, for while WeyIer
VIII have man hanged or shot. CIV
ing the order for his execution with
a gross oath or coarse gibe, Primo de
Rivera will order the most fiendish
fortunes to be inflicted, COUGHING his
instructions i'm the most courteous
suave and gentle language. smiling
genially the while. Only those who
have been out in the far east and who
have knowledge of the atrocities com
mitted by his orders and under his
very eyes when he was vicerov of the
Philippine Islands can realize the true
character of the man.

pOh ER-PLAIlNG WARRIORS,
n Former Police Captain Recalls
Some Experiences.

FROM the New York Herald.
Former Police Captain Thomas Reilly was
an inVeterate poker player and. according
10 his antagonists in the many games in
which he played a small hand, he was a
particularly good one, too Capt. Reilly tells
many amusing stories of the poker games
in which he has been a participant, and
dwells particularly upon the natural bent
of the rank and file of the United states
army to daily with the cards when
finances will permit Capt. Reilly was vet
eran of the war, having been in the regu-
lar army for many years. He served
aSaint the Indians on the western frontier
and when the north and south began their
little unpleasantnesS he went with his regi-
ment to the south and fought through the
war.
Talking with party of friends the other
evening, the conversation drTfted around to
poker and poker players, and Capt. Reilly
surprised his auditors by the many stories
he told about his experiences when in the
army.
The main pastime in the army" he said,
was poker playing, and long the

tnued. ] have seen an army paid off and
Immediately thereafter form groups of six
and seven and start playing poker. The
men who were only drawing So a month,
but they had no expenses. and were per-
fectly satisfied, after providing themselves
with tobacco TO devote the balance to WOO
ing the tickle goddess.
These men would play, every few min
Utes one or two going broke and stepping
down and out. until finally only one or two
men in each group would have any money.
Then they would move over to some other
game where the circle was incomplete. and
would join in, and finally the entire pay of
the regiment would be in the hands of five
or six successful players. who would be

two or three men would have the entire
amount paid to the regime mt, and they
would hold the money until they neared

Enchanted Grove of Bees.
N the Galveston News

Away back in the fifties there was
Shawnee Indian village on the South Ca
madam river, about eghty-five miles west
of South McAiester, but the old village has
long since disappeared. on the spot where
the young Shawnee buck sang his kiowala
to his duSky maiden and courted his best
girl by the light of the full MOON only an
occasional rock hearth and a few graves
are left to indicate the former hunting
grounds of the red man.
Near the old village site now lives white
man. Just on the border of this mans farm
is a spot which seems to have been the
thickest settled part of the Shawnee vii
laSe, and here is a grove Of black oak
trees. In this grove are two very large
poStOak trees, one in the south and one in
the north end of the grove. In the grove
can be heard most any day the blzzng of a
swarm of bees so plainly that the noise
has fooled many old bee hunters, but all
their search has never revealed a single
bee.
most peculiar tale. The large postoak tree
standing at the north end of the grove is
the curiosity of the bunch. for rot long ag,
a young man hearing of the bees went to
the spot and proceed 10 look carefully up
each tree in the grove until he came to the
north tree. He was within two feet of this
tree looking up when he heard a noise Just
like carpenter at work mailing on boards,
and the noise seemed TO come from the tree
He went around ii several times trying to
locate ehe hammering, but it still seemed to
come from the tree. The nammering con-
tinued until he happened to touch the tree
with his hand, when it suddenly stopped
The man then went away amazed. a day
or so afterward this man had occasion to
again pass that way. He slipped up to the
tree and listened for the hammering and
sure enough, ii was plain as ever. He
touched the tree with the end OF his finger
and, as before, the noise stopped at once.
This man and several others have tried
touching the tree several times since with
the same result.
They say that the humming of bees and
the curious hammering can be heard any
day but no one has been able TO explain
the mysteries of this enchanted grove

they go to the top, the paper is printed and

large sale among them, as they desire

The editors wife is able to set type and
print the paper as well as her husband
One day when he was away she got out

Not much news is in this mountaintop
