STRANGER THAN FICTION.
True Story of the Remarkable Career of
Ex-senator Tabor.

True Story of the Remarkable Career oi
Ex-senator Tabor.
Ex-United States Senator H. A. W.
Tabor died in Chicago recently of ap'
pendicitis. The following sketch OF
this remarkable mans career is from
the New York Sun:
By dying in comfortable circum:
stances, H. A. w. Tabor surprised
many people who predicted that he
would end in ditch without cent to
bless himself with. Throughout his
career, one of the most romantic in
the whole history of the wonderful,
wealth producing west, he consistently
disappointed prophecy, whether OF
good or evil, so it is not to be wonder
ed at that his death should have been
under unexpected circumstances. This
man who at first dug bitches, then was
millionaire many times over, then
went back to digging bitches as a
means to earn his bread, and who,
three years ago, hadn't cent of all
his great fortune left, and lived literal
ly by the sweat of his brow, found
himself at SO years Of age postmaster
of Denver, with an income that put
him beyond danger of want once more.
A short time before his death he said
that his days of money making were
over, and that he was quite content TO
have enough to live decently upon.
In 1860 Tabor appeared in California
Gulch, Colo., where men were finding
nuggets that were the wonder of the
world. He was then about 80 years
old and had been a stonecutter in
Massachusetts, a farmer in Kansas,
aud a member of the legislature there,
and finally sort of superior tramp
until he struck the diggings. Then,
having come too late to locate claim
for himself, he went to work for anoth'
er man at $5 day. Before long he
had enough saved up to start little
store, and when be was ready to move
to new fields he owned about 1000
in hard earned cash. He started for
Orc, Colo, against the advice of his
friends, who warned him that he would
lose all his little capital in that then
little known locality. This was the
first prophecy to 60 wrong, for Tabor
didn't start out as prospector. Set
Ting at Orc, which was then beginning
its boom, he opened general store,
selling food, implements, tobacco,
clothing and notions. Orc grew to be
a town of 1000 inhabitants. As Ia,
Dor accumulated money it was predic-
dicted that he would soon succumb to
the mining fever and 60 into the bust
ness on his own hook. But he stuck to
the store; stuck toit even after Orc be-
gan to decline, and its best friends saw
a burst bubble. In those hard years
the storekeeper lost most of what he
had made, and his wife, hard-work'
ing, faithful Irish girl, took in board
ers to help him along. For more than
ten years the Tabors pluckily stood
bv the store and saw the town dwin-
die from 1000 to 70 people. Then the

tedr.
A Washington dispatch of the 23rd
instant, says: The first of the general
information series of bulletins for this
year issued by the bureau of naval
intelligence is the translation of care
fully prepared paper by Constructor
Sussenguth, of the German navy, which
appeared recently in The Marine
rundschau.
1t is stated that the navies of the
world are profting by the lessons of
Santiago, where the heavy battleships
brought about the destruction OF the
Spanish fleet, and are building battle
ships of 10000 to $4,000 tons displace-
ment.
One of the most remarkable state
ments of the writer is the frank con-
fession that England, on the compile
pletion of the ships now under con-
struction for her navy will be in posi-
ton to meet the combined navies of
any two powers in the world. 1t is
also stated that England has under
construction and to be completed with
in the next three years vessels that
alone will be equal to the total Ger
man navy as it will stand at the end of
1908.
A note by the naval intelligence
bureau says that this English fotilla
now under construction will exceed
the American navy, built and building,
by over 100000 tons displacement.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
HAWAIIAN HISTORICAL TALES
PUBLISHED.
Written by Rev. w. D. Westervelt
Who has spent many Years in this
Preparation-Their Character.

Grams Magazine, a new Chicago pub
lication devoted to history, geography
and kindred subjects, has begun the
publication of a series of Hawaiian
Historical Tales" by Rev. w. d. West
ervelt. Rev. Westervelt who has re-
Gently returned to Honolulu after an
absence of about ten years, was for
merly in the missionary work of the
Mission Board here. He became very
much interested in the folk lore and
traditions of the Hawaiian people while
here, and when he returned to the main
land he pursued his Investigations and
researches in the valuable and extern
sive material of the great libraries OF
Chicago and other cities.
The first of these tales" to be pub
lished is 1.-THE story of Kamehameha' s
Ancestors" 1t is an effort to repro
duce with something of modern preci-
sion and eXactness the historical ele-
ment of the Hawaiian traditions, at the
same time preserving as much as pos
sible the form of the traditions as they
were handed down by word of mouth
fronm generation to generation, and to
give through the medium of their own
folklore some idea of the mode of
thought and the religious belief of the
ancient Hawaians.
"The Story of Kamehameha's Ances-
tors" treated of the original migration
of the Hawaiian hither, telling speciti-
cally the story of Pill, the remote an
cestor of Kamehameha. and of Paac
the founder of the high-priest family
of the group.
Other stories from Hawaiian tradi-
ton and folk lore will follow.

HOUSE MOVING Evil.

EDITOR STAR:-It is with great
pleasure that | read your editorial de-
precating the wholesale slaughter of
the beautiful shade trees, by those
moving houses in bulk. To say nothing
of the great inconvenience to the
travelling public by monopolizing
streets in this manner, this destruction
of these beautiful trees is a crying
shame, and should be stopped at once;
such actions border on vandalism, and
should be dealt with accordingly. Those
who have so little pride for the beauty
of their city, that they are willing to
sacrifice it for their own interest,
should be made to pay the penalty. 1
think if the offending parties We're
made to pay the cost of each tree they
destroy, and also for the damage they
cause in other directions 1T would put
a stop to this kind of work. for I am
sure they would then decide it would be
cheaper to knock the shanty dawn and
sell it for fire wood.

A HEART PAIN.

Piercing the left side like a keen
edged knife, palpitation, choking in
the throat, usually accompanied by
retarded circulation, are sure signs Of
heart disease. If neglected death is
the result, and If taken in time they
may be cured and the long line of dis
eases which follow in the wake of i'm
perfect heart action may be avoided.
DIR. Miles New Heart Cure Is the only
safe and reliable medicine for diseased
hearts. 1t never fails to benefit when
taken in time.
"I had spells when I would get ice
cold and my heart would stop beating
then would feel a piercing pain which
seemed to go right through me, which
would be followed by palpitation and
1 would clutch at my left breast in ag-
ony. From the time 1 began taking DR..
Miles New Heart Cure these spells
grew less severe and finally disappear
ed altogether. 1 am well and strong
now and can do all my own work with
ease"

WHISKY ON THE GRANT.
Thirty Five Barrels Labeled Beer
Captured at Manila,

When the transport Grant reached
Manila on the last trip to the Phillip
pines the authorities seized thirty-f1ve
barrels of whisky which had been plac-
ed aboard as a part of the canteen
stores of the Thirty-first Infantry and
were marked Beer" 1t was originally
intended that the Thirty-first should go
on the Grant, so that the whisky was
put aboard without being questioned.
1t was in charge of a man named Yea
zil who was canteen steward for the
regiment Captain Baker, commissary
of the ship, had no knowledge of the
matter.
On the way down it became noised
about that there was whisky aboard
for the soldiers. An attorney from
Portland, Or, who was a passenger on
the ship, is said to have reported the
matter to the authorities at Manila.
The venture cost it's promoters about
$500.
