the largest mid-week audiences that

GEO. w. GIDDINGS.

This letter was referred by the Ad-

posed to have acquired considerable
knowledge of the occult from long as

the following reply:
In answer to Mr.. G.. w. Giddings'
letter. dated July 3. 1899. with refer
ence TO a coral brick | would state
that there appears to be no method
known TO science of arriving at the de-
sired information. The only recourse
left is TO call up the shade of some
suitable Hawaiian of the olden time.
as. for instance. the great Heiraheira,
high priest of Kamehameha |, whose
extensive knowledge of the people
would enable him, after considerable
trouble, to ascertain the person who
placed the brick in the cave. and
doubtless the familiar relations exist
ing between Heiraheira and myself as
Kahuna Nui would place me in a posi-
ton TO learn from him the result OF
his Investigations in the Land of
Shades. The only drawback to getting
response from Heiraheira. should he
deign TO show me his face, as did Sam
uel to Saul (see l. Samuel XXviiD Is
the possibility that he may have more
important business on hand in the pro-
posed destruction of Hilo. now being
deliberated by Pele and her followers
on account of the annexation of their
beloved Islands to the United States.
Il note that Mr.. Giddings says that
the brick is reputed to be worth quite
a sum- l should advise him to realize
without loss of time, and should the
value prove to be such as would war

him TO provide a black sacrificial pig.

Editor Hawaiian Gazette: have
recently returned from "A six weeks

write you for information about "A

about three b. six inches and about
one and one-half inches thick. \ small
hole has eaten through. or worn
through by the dripping water at one
caves in the Olaa section. 1t was
placed at the head of a dead islander
in the extreme end of the cave. where
access was almost impossible. The
body had completely turned to dust
From all appearances the brick had
been there for a great many years
There are no characters remaining
upon it. 1t is reputed here to be worth
quite a sum of money. / am very anX-
ious to know why the natives placed
the brick by the dead. And | would

What an excellent article we had
again last week from Montfort. We

There is one thing certain the arrows

Yes, we have not only noticed the
different disposition and natures of
men, but also the different natures of
women. Take a malicious woman for
instance. Heaven save us from a
malicious woman's tongue. Did you
ever notice the purring, kitty kind of
people? When you meet them just
put them down as a fraud, with a
big "F'' for they never fail to have
claws. Hasn't Montfort remodeled
yet, we must acknowledge that at
times we have felt like interpreting
the divine law in the same way and
putting it into practice.

Returned From Admission.

The following interesting para
graphs are taken from the Stevens
Point journal and relate the expert
ences of a former Lancaster lady,then
Miss Jennie Angel, daughter of DR..
Angel. Many of the older people will
remember her.
Mrs. Jennie Cadman returned Fri
day morning from Camp Ship, Ami
ston, Ala where she has been living
since November II. 1898. OF course
she did not live at the camp but
boarded with private family near
the city but she had permanent pass
and visited the camp every day. She
found many little things to do here
and there about the camp. A little
sewing, mending and pleasant word
of advice now and then as she went
from shack to shack served to keep
her time pleasantly occupied and to
make her presence desirable feature
of camp lie. The fact that lady
was near and liable to drop in most
any time also had its influence on the
general cleanliness OF the camp.
When Mrs. Cadman left, the officers
and men were preparing Tor the mus
tering out. The mastering officer in
formed her that he was quite sure the
regiment wodld be let out between
March and 10, but probably nearer
the 10th than lst.
The cold weather down soush caused
terrible suffering among the poor,
great numbers of whom live in rough
board or log shanties with cracks 50
large YOU can see what is going on in

stood it well although many caught
cold and Chas King froze his ears.

Mrs. Cadman says that the reports in

other regiments are no eXageraii0n.
The magnificent, tall. stalwart north
erners must be seen beside some Of
the vest-pockct edition men Of the

there were special parade drills the
Wisconsin men always received the
