Cannibals.

Among the annexation" litera-
ture there appeared some years ago
a map and short history compiled
from datas furnished by the Hawai-
ian Government to the author, Mr..
Davies, Hawaiian Consul at Phila-
delphia, in which it was claimed
that the Hawaians used to be very
voracious cannibals and that Hawai-
ian mothers in olden times used to
fatten and eat their babies
The following story told in the
last number OF The Traveller, shows
that even San Francisco can boast
of canuibalistic inclined people and
that genial Paul Neumann narrowly
escaped beipg "chewed." Says the
historian Of The Traveller:
A congenial coteri- OF local cele-
brites, Paul Nenmann, now a Ho-
nolulu lawyer aud formerly Attor-
ney- General to Liliuokalani, among
them, had assembled at French
caterers for the purpose of dining
The banquet was so slow in being
served that some one suggested that
il their appetites we're tn he appeased
they would be obliged to fall to and
eat each other. With mock solemn
ity hey drew lots as o the selection
Of the victim, who happened to be
Mr.. Neumann. He rose from the
table, gravely proceeded to unstrsp
one OF his neither extremities, and
laid it on the banquet board.
"Gentlemen," he said, balancing
himself on the back Of his chair by
one hand and indicating the dis
me mbered article with the other,
"you may begin on that" 1t was a

Miss Anna Cahill, a young and
very popular American lady died at
$3.50 o'clock last evening at the Sani-

The deceased had been ill for
several weeks and during the past

her recovery. Miss Cahill was suffer

which made an operation advisable

The deceased was born in Ere.
mont, Ohio, 32 years ago and had
resided in Honolulu about five
years. After her arrival here, she
was employed in the millinery de =
partment of N. S. Sachs, and later

gained great success.
Miss Cahill had no relatives in
this country but made many friends

THE FUTURE OF HAWAII.

1t was interesting to listen to Mr.
Agassiz last evening at Punahou
College, when he in mastery way
expounded his theories of the origin
OF the coral reefs which are the
"mainstay" of the islands which
form the oasis in the great Pacific
Ocean.

A number of wealthy aud we'll
dressed people listened with intense
rapture TO the lecturer, who told
them all about the Substance" we
are living on. They would not
crowd a hall, however, where a prac-
tical lecture would be delivered and
the discussion he how to subsist un-
der present conditions.

7 he people living here aud raising
their families with the intention of
making these islands their perma-

puzzled when they contemplate the
future of Hawaii.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-02-04

Mr.. Agassiz, If we are rightly in
formed, is very wealthy man, and is
not sacrificing any worldly affairs in
his role OF an Investigator" We
poor, ordinary, everyday people,
who run across the bills OF our
butchers, bakers, grocers and tailors
every month fail to appreciate the
lofty theories OF the Advertiser
which prefer investigation OF the
origin of coral reefs to an investi.
cation into the future prospects of
the people living on those reefs.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-02-04

1t ia very nice and very esthetic
for the Advertiser to abuse the
bread winners and advise the com.
ing generations to go in for Science
and Investigation rather than devot-
ing their talents to devising means
OF making money.

If the islands become annexed,
what will be the future prospects OF
our youngsters2 The country will
be swamped with most undesir-
able crowd Of adventurers, and for
a while at least the next generation
will have the hard task of compel
ing with men used to hard work and
cheaper living than those born and
reared in these "lazy" islands. If
annexed our young people are told
that they can go anywhere as Gam
ericans," and make their way Are
they prepared or fitted for the
struggle in which the "fttest" neces-
sarily will survive. We fear not.
There are good and prominent men
here who give preference in their
private and public capacities to en-
ploying the sons OF the soil and who
claim that they have obtained the
best satisfaction in the long run
from Hawaiian born boys. Yet the
schools and teachers having charge
of the young people, should impress
upon their charges that, as the lead
ing principle OF eduction hon-
esty and veracity are essential in the
rush for success, and that life nova,
days is not altogether "beer and
skittles."

Able In . Marvellous Degree to Adapt
Itself to Its Surroundings
It IL q familiar fact that fishes can
change their oolors at will Many fishes
make remarkable changes. Free swim.
ming fishes most commonly preserve
their normal colors, though these fishes
can change. The fishes that change most
are the bottom feeders. For their own
protection from other fishes that would
prey upon them and the better to enable
them themselves to capture food these
change their colors to match the bottom
they are on SO as to. make themselves
invisible. They do this often to degree
that seems extraordinary.
In one of the smaller salt water tanks
at the New York aquarium there are a
number Of small fattish. The bottom Of
the tank is covered with coarse gravel
The great bulk of the gravel is com
posed Of pebbles of brownish white, q
sort of pale iron rust color. Scattered
in this are pebbles Of a deeper tinge
with now and then one of a brownish
gray or brown black.
The tlatfish lying on the gravel at the
bottom of this tank initiate its colors in
their own backs in a manner that is
marvellous. They are of notified brown,
like the colors of the gravel, and thu
smallest of the fatfish is the most
wonderful. They are all thin and Ii,
close to the bottom. The edge Of the lit
tie one blends with it, and it's back is
wonderful mosaic of browns so like the
gravel Of the surrounding bottom tina,
it appears to be part of it. Even il
this clear water at little distance the
fish is scarcely distinguishable. -New

that he had an 5ezz!ed funds and forged

however, he showed signs of unsettled

His widow, anxious to clear his mem
Dry from the stain that rested upon it,
had the case reopened and proved by
expert testimony that her husband had
been demented at the time he commit

Thus occurred the peculiar circum

resulted in the reversal of the former
sentence, the court pronouncing the de-
