Kamehameha l. Lunallo
HAWAIIAN MONARCHS,
European annals. Originally each island
had it's own king, and some more than
one, but about century ago arose the
great Kameh.meha, and in series of
wonderful campaigns reduced them all
under his rule.
He is the great Hawaiian hero, the war
rior, king and sage, the David and Sol
ONION and Haroun al Raschid all in one
But it is great mistake to say, as many
recent writer's have done, that the civil
cation he fostered was purely native and
original, and still more to begin Hawaiian
history with Cooks voyage. A hundred
years before that the islands were visited
by white men and many times between
that date and Cooks visit. White men
lived on the islands even before Kane
hamehas reign. They had introduced
many improvements, and he had the as
sistance of some of them in his wars.
He was succeeded by five kings of his
blood, who took his name as title, but
were known by other names. OF these
Alexander died in 1868, and Lot late in
1879, William Lunalilo taking the crown
in January, 1878. David Kalakaua was
elected to succeed him in 1874, and in
1891 he died and gave place to Liliuoka-
lani.
Now, the old royal line expired as
aforesaid with King Lot, and as King
Bill and Kalakaua, though of ancient
royal stock, had to be voted into power,
there was necessarily some lowering of
the royal dignity and lessening of the
royal prerogative. And as a liberal con-
stitution had been adopted and a govern
ment established somewhat on the Eng
fish model, there is really no change
perceptible to the mass of the people in
adopting provisional government semi
republican in tone.
And through all this century, while
civilization was rapidly progressing and
later while Christianity was becoming
dominant, the Kanakas were fading away
at a rate unprecedented since the tender
natives of the West Indies died off under
SPANS harsh rule. First, the wars of
Kamehameha wrought havoc, and as the
last of these wars was ending there came
mysterious pestilence which reduced
the population by one-fourth or more.
Diseases introduced by profligate sail
ors doubtless wrought some destruction,

fish and Americans, but before reaching
our hotel we saw that those were only
the advance guard of porters, small
traders, agents for this and that, idle
sailors and the general flotsam and jet
sam of port in the tropics which is the
common resting place of rovers of all
nations
From the center of the town on, how
ever we struck it rich in the Kanaka
line. We saw them of every age and
many shades Of color and in every stage
of dress and civilization, from the new
arrival from the mountain highlands,
clad only 30 tar as absolute decency re-
quired, to the cultured gentleman in
blue coat white vest and truly immacu-
late linen At every convenient recess
in the side of the street was group Of
native women, but there was not the
same variety in their dress, With scarce
ly an exception each wore sort of
Mother Hubbard" Of blue cloth, and
whether walking, sitting or riding-and
many of them were riding and always
astride-they managed this single gar
ment with the same modest grace had
noted among those in the boats.
The streets are of fair width, and in
places seemed to me winter than was
agreeable and rather dusty. AS there is
nearly always breeze enough at sea to
refresh one, felt oppressed at first by
the dead calm in the air, and retiring to
the courtyard of the hotel was just say
ing it was hotter than had been led to
expect when felt a strong, cool breeze.
In three minutes at the furthest the sky
was overcast and almost black; in 10
minutes more the rain was pouring in
volumes, which, as it seemed to me,
threatened to wash the town away,
naturally supposed that open air sight
seeing was done with for that day, but
my local mentor, to whom had brought
letters from Salt Lake City, laughingly
replied; wait wee. You are not in old
England now, nor yet in Utah"
In an hour the sky was bright and
clear as ever. In another the streets
were in splendid condition, and next
morning they were dusty again. ! then
learned three things which surprised me
very much: That at least one-fourth Of
the entire population of the little king.
dom live in Honolulu that the city rests
not on the true rock of the islands oil
volcanic deposits, but on sort of flat

There never was lovelier March morn
ing than that on which Honolulu first
rose to my sight. Yes literally "rose,"
for we had gotten close in during the
night The sky was not perfectly clear
till just at daylight, and there was no
lingering dawn as in the far north.
Scarcely had our strained eyes made out
the bold promontory Of Diamond head
$50 called, was told, because there are
no precious stones in the islands) when
suddenly the grand sweep Of mountains
came into view, and then, as if fat in
theater had slid back and disclosed
gorgeous tropical scene, Honolulu rose
to sight. 1t was perfectly delightful
surprise. worth coming thousand miles
to see.
There was the usual delay in getting
close in, and we had scarcely time to
view the city by the rosy light when we
saw many people running toward the
beach. 1t seemed to me that they did
not even check their speed at the waters
edge, but jumped into their canoes,
which moved off at once, and in few min
utes the Kanakas were swarming about
the ship or climbing on deck. Our lady
passengers, having heard dreadful
things" were prepared to blush accord
ingly, and the more roguish among the
gentlemen anticipated some fun, but
both were disappointed. The native men
were dressed quite $3.50 for boatmen,
and though the few women who came
near Wore each a single garment they
managed II with womanly skill In
truth one may see much more reckless
exposure at any bathing resort. 1t was
later and in the interior-but antici-
pate.
The rising sun now sent its brilliant
glare upon Honolulu and showed us
what? Was it a child's toy village sud
denly enlarged or transformation scene
in a fairy pantomime? There were
plumed cocoanut trees and curious
palms, great banks of flowers in one
place and regular English sward in an
other, trailing vines and bare, hot look
ing places, and here and there patches Of
neglected land which looked dry and
arid 1t was evident at first view of the
houses that the old was still struggling
with the new. for regular New England
cottages with green blinds and stone
structures were mingled with mere hut
of straw and tolerably solid adobe build
ings like those had become accustomed
to at Salt Lake City
My first impression on entering tn
place was that all the true natives hac
gone off in their canoes, for we at frs
encountered none but Chinese and othe

KANAKA SPEECH AND RELIGION.

How the Islands Were Built Up and How
Christianized.
The first task for me, pursuant to my
business on the islands, was to learn a
little of the language, which deserves a.
paragraph or two, especially as many
native names must appear in the re-
mainder of this article. | found it quite
easy of requirement. Every word and
every syllable in every word ends with
vowel and every vowel is pronounced
almost exactly as in German There is
of course a syllable to every vowel, but
in ordinary and rapid pronunciation the
effect is precisely the same as in German
and Spanish-that is, au or ah-oo, is
practically pronounced ow, as in now

more tony" to pronounce these two dis
tinctly separate. Al is, similarly, pro-

ran and did not return" Nearly all the
stone buildings in Hilo were shaken
down. The missionaries record with
sort of grim humor that their bookcases
were upset and the books went tumbling
over the house. Trees swayed and fell,
stone fences went down, and vast noun
tain masses rolled into the sea. One
missionary adds, so gravely that we
must not suspect him Of joke, that
they prayed with unusual fervor and
sang

CAPITAL AND CAPITALISTS.

MEN WHO ARE EAGERLY SOUGHT AFrER-PRoJ-
Ecrs INVOLVING ENORMOUS SUMS CON-
srANTLY BROUGHT BEFORE THEM.
The capitalist Of the present time is man
much sought after In a great centre like New
York The magnitude of the commercial and
financial operations of this city, the great wealth
which has been collected in this locality, and
the number Of schemes Of all kinds and
classes which are being exploited constantly
all these render the capitalist and his capital
objects Of unusual attention. No matter how
good a thing a man may have 1t must have
backing to place It in the market. This Is sup
piled by the capitalist. OF all the patents which
are annually granted by the Department at
Washington only small percentage find their
way to success and wealth It Is not because
they have not merit but because they have not
been pushed into public favor by money. The
old saying that money makes the mare CO.

a part of the insignia OF his profession Money

The te,ephone system in New-York has been
brought to a high state of efficiency and con-
venience. and its use has largely increased In
the last year The service has been steadily
improved, and It can truthfully be stated 'ha'
the system in use here has proved tremen-
dous convenience to people In every walk Oh
life.
The chief value of telephone service apart
from its general efficiency and constant avail
ability Is the power to communicate over large
area In this respect the service in New YORK
probably excels that OF any other place, owing
primarily to the adoption OF the metallic cir
cult system Of lines and switchboards and the
equipment of all subscribers stations with
long distance telephone instruments.
The area served in New-York is about forty
square miles. and the peculiar shape in which
these forty miles are laid out adds to the diff
Guilty and expense of telephoning.
There are twelve telephone exchanges In New
York situated approximately a mile apart
along a zigzag line running from Broadst. to
High Bridge
To Join the subscribers stations to the vari-
Gus exchanges requires about the same amount
city. where a single exchange serves the whole
city.
The New Yorker Is not satisfied. however, to
talk only with the subscribers connected to his
own exchange He wants to talk all over the
CITY and so each OF the twelve exchanges must
be connected with the rest by direct lines for

the purpose Of allowing the subscriber to q.
tend his calls to other districts than his own.
About 70 per cent Of the calls that origfnaas
in New-York pass through two exchanges ana
require lines averaging four miles long to con.
meet the stations of the subscribers.
The southernmost exchange is in Broad St
which serves the extreme downtown district
and the northernmost exchange is at High
Bridge, which requires trunk lines nearly fouy-
teen miles long to connect 1t with the Broad
St exchange.
The entire city in spite OF the immense area
covered is served at the same rates and tele-
phone message costs the same. whether tn
subscriber calls for a point on his own exchange
or for one demanding the use m lines aggro-
eating fifteen miles in length. The avera&e
length of line used for all connections Is four
miles and when 1t is remembered that the
usual telephone communication includes both
message and reply some idea Is gained OF Tho
amount OF time saved every day by the tehe-
phone service I'm NewYork.
The view OF the telephone service Is height
ened when the immense volume OF the daily
business is considered. The usual days work
at present is about 2250OO originating calls, d
which some 10000 pass through two exchanges
The use of the telephone by large concerns 10
so great that it calls for some arrangement to
facilitate the service. and has resulted In the
introduction Of the branch exchange system"
This consists in the establishment OF a minia-
ture exchange in the office Of the subscriber
A small switch board is set up and connected to
the nearest exchange Of the general system by
a number Of trunk lines. which take consecu-
tive numbers and terminate side by side at the
exchange switchboard. An operator stationed
dtor
in securing connections required by the various
stations connected to the switchboard. and tn
distributing directly to the persons wanted the
calls that come in over the trunk lines. This
method of handling telephone calls has become
one of the important features of the service, as
It insures prompt and efficient service at al
times.
During the present year the use of the tele-
phone in New-York City has increased rapidly.
On January 1, 1898, the number Of subscribers
connected TO the NewYork Telephone Com
pany's metropolitan system was less than 49,.
600 and at present this figure has risen to 3d.
6OO-being an increase OF over 80 per cent for q
year.
The large expansion has been due to the
active efforts of the company and the fact that
