PAUL NEUMANN's MISSION

PAUL NEUMANN's MISSION
The latest issue of the San Fran
cisco Call received here contains a
fake story in regard to the Grown
Lands, Queen Liliuokalani and Mr..
Paul Neumann, the appearance OF
which in paper with the opportu-
mites Of being we'll informed on Ha-
waiian matters is simply surprising.
The Queen is represented as agi-
tating her claims for the Grown
Lands in Washington by all possi-
BILE means. Mr.. Neumann is describ-
8 ed as her attorney in the matter who
left Washington in a hurry to anti
cipate the arrival in Hawaii of Gen
eral Compton who, it is alleged, is
now, in Hawaii to confscate the
Grown Lands. The fake yarn is IL
lustrated with picture OF Her Maj
esty who looks in it like twenty
year old girl and by one of Mr.. Neu-
mann who looks like-well, not like
Neumann by any means.
Mr.. Neumann was seen at his
home this morning where he is yet
confined to his bed through the ac
cident which he met on board the
steamer which brought him home
!, from San Francisco, Through the
negligence of an officer Mr.. Neu-
mann had his ankle injured in a
most serious manner and is still in
the hands Of his physician and un-
able to move around.
In regard to The story in the Call
Mr.. Neumann expressed himself to
the following effect: "There is not
aword OF truth in the whole story.
/ declined to advertise either here
or in San Francisco what the object
of my visit to Washington was. l
do not fatter myself with the idea
that my movement from here to the
Mainland are of sufficient interest to
the public to warrant me to publish
my reasons for going abroad in pa
pers or on placards on the street cor
ner or furnishing the dear people
with description of my valise and
the color of my best hat. Since the
old women of San Francisco and
the gossips of Honolulu insist on
knowing why l went to Washington
and spent four months there, you
=: may state that l had four missions
all of which / attended to in man
.ner eminently satisfactory to myself
and my clients
81 wanted to get my son, Ned
the scamp you all know-into the
naval academy at Annapolis, and he
will get there.
II wanted to urge aspeedy settle
ment of the claims for damages of
the men OF 1895 for whom l am an
attorney and you will see that l was
successful.
81 represented the direct heirs Of
Kamehamehas in regard to the
Crown Lands and l presented all
the points in connections with this
matter to the proper authorities.
AT no time did l represent the in
terests of Queen Liliuokalani who,
according to my views, may have a
claim in equity to the incomes only
OF the Crown Lands during her life.
81 was also looking after the in
terests Of the Japanese immigration
companies and am pleased to say
that gained my object.
"As you are aware, also, was call
ed into conference on Hawaiian in
terests by Justice Frear and Mr..
Kinney"

Millions of Christians tomorrow
will greet each other with the hap
py cry, "Christ has risen; He has
risen indeed" In Honolulu the
greeting is apt to be, 'Have stocks
risen? If not, I'm gouer," but this
is now work a.day world and the
almighty dollar has supplanted all
other creeds.
If one of the most conspicuous
members of the Bar had been in the
District Court this morning, he
would have heard something drop
with heavy thud from the Bench.
Several days ago he secured a war
rant for the arrest of young "wa-
hine haole," who was charged with
adultery and with embezzlement.
The husband of the complainant
skipped the country before the ar
rest was made, and the magistrate
told the attorney Of the uninjured
90 woman that the procedure was
evidently an attempt at using the
court as medium through which
spite and private vengeance could
be promoted. He was obliged, how
ever, to grant the warrants and the
young woman was arrested, and as
her case was postponed several times
she was obliged to frequently ap,
pear in the Court. This morning
the attorney acting for the COM
plainant had number of respect
able men and women suopenaed as
witnesses people who had assured
the attorney that they knew moth
ing OF the case, but who neverthe-
less were subjected to the annoy
ance of being dragged into court in
case which at all events would
have been disgusting. When the
case was called this morning the
prosecuting officer asked that mol
pros. be entered as the complainant
witness had left by the Mariposa
last evening without the knowledge
of her attorneys, and that conse
quently no case could be made out
That ended the matter, but how

been stigmatized as an adulterest
and embezzler, at the instigation oil
spiteful rival and foolish attor-
ney? Has she no redress7

The secretary bird of South Africa Is
useful in destroying the serpent race
on which creatures 1t almost exclu-
sively feeds. It derives its name from
the curious feathery plumes which pro-
ject from each side OF it's head, and
have a fanciful resemblance to pens
carried behind the ear by human Sec
retaries. Undaunted by the deadly
teeth OF the cobra, the secretary bird
comes boldly to the attack. and in spite
OF all the efforts OF the Infatuated and
desperate reptile, is sure to come off
victorious. In its combats with the
serpent the wing Is the most important
weapon, and answers equally all the
purposes Of shield and a club. Az
the serpent rises to strike. the secre-
tary presents the front OF its wing as
buckler and almost Immediately dashes
the snake to the ground by a blow
from the same member. II also kicks
with considerable force, and almost in
variably concludes the combat by n
violent blow on the head from lts
beak, which lays the skull of the enemy
completely open.

FOUGHT WILD CATS.



Bellefonte PENN Correspondence OF
Philadelphia Record: Alfred Lucas,
OF Clarence, Center county. was the
hero of thrilling encounter with a
wildcat. Lucas resides in a section OF
the Allegheny mountains where wild
cats are unusually numerous, so much
so that in one week recently he killed
exactly twenty-one of the brutes. On
Tuesday, accompanied by several dogs
Lucas took a trip to a closely wooded
and deep gorge in one of the dehles OF
the mountains. The dogs routed up an
old she cat and her two half grown kit
tens. The dogs soon had the animals
in close combat, the kittens not being
spry enough to avoid them. while the
mother cat fought fiercely for her
young, Lucas was afraid to shoot lest
he kin dog instead of eat, and with
view to getting into position where
he might be able to dispatch the old
eat. he was creeping quietly closer to
the eomhatants when he was startled
by low growl behind him. Turning
hastily Lucas Was lcTflueu 10 see, moi
dozen PAGES in the rear, an old male
cat with fur erect and flashing tail. Be
fore Lucas could bring his gun TO his
shoulder the cat made leap at him,
and the man saved himself from the
cats claws by jumping behind tree.
Quickly bringing his gun to his shout
der he let fy both barrels, but in his
nervous haste took poor aim. and in.
stead of killing the cat only inflicted
serious flesh wounds. which rendered
the animal more frantic Recovering
itself, the animal again sprang for Luz
cas-, who chung close TO the tree, and
when the beast alighted dubbed it with
his gun. Two or three times the cats
claws tore the mans clothing and sank
into the flesh, but finally Lucas with
his huge knife stabbed it to the heart.
In the meantime the dogs, though all
badly disabled, had succeeded in dis
posing OF the old she cat and both the
kittens. and Lucas thus secured four
more pelts TO add 10 his collection.

burglary Easy in Pam.

'"' bhSy IN f0ru.
Lima Cor. Chicago Record: When
a burglar wants to break into a Peru
Wan house he takes a sponge and a
bucket OF water and moisteps the
walls, which are covered with only a
thin coat OF mud and easily dissolvev
upon the application Of moisture. Then
when the mud is removed he takes a
sharp knife and cuts the strips of split
bamboo which serves as a substitute
for laths. That easy little operation
produces hole in the wall large
enough for a man to crawl through
and can be performed so silently that
people sleeping in the house will not
be awakened. Not long ago the real
dence of the cable manager at Bar
ranca was entered in this way. The
thieves frightened the family, but were
discovered before they had seized
much booty.
