CAPTAIN COOK AND cAxNIBALs.
Portion of His Viscern Said to Have
Been Eaten by Mistake.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
Honolulu, Dec. 10, via San Fran
cisco, Dec. ia new version OF the
alleged cannibahsm on the body of
Capt. Cook, who discovered these ISL
ands, has been brought to night by the
superintendent of Public Works, James
Boyd. Capt. Cook WAS killed in 177S
near kealakakua Bay, on the Kona
coast of the island of Hawaii. The
British government erected a monu-
merit to his memory near the place
where he was buried. According to ac-
eepted accounts, parts of Cooks body
were eaten by the natives who Killed
him, in the ferocity of the passions en-
gendered by the dispute which led to
his death.
superintendent Boyd. who is part
Hawaiian, and wen versed in Ha-
waiian traditions. recently visited
Kona and met many old Hawaiians,
who received the tale of Capt. Cook $
death from eyewitnesses. Boyd gath
cred from them a we'll connected ac-
count, which varies considerably from
that which has been accepted by the
historians
After the death of Capt Cook, who
had been regarded by the natives as a
god, II was decided TO make an Offer
ing of his body to the gods. The viscera
was taken out and placed in a calabash
to be offered to one of the power
ful gods of the sea of Hawaiian theog-
ony, the viscera being considered a
higher and better Offering than any
other part of the body The remainder
of the body was to be okere to anoth-
er but les powerful god While the Wis
cera was in the calabash, awaiting a
suitable time for the sacrifice, 1t was
found by children, who, mistaking ii
for the viscera of a pig, which was
considered a great delicacy. built a
fire and cooked and ate most of 1t. The
remainder of the body. as all accounts
substantially agree, was afterward re,
turned to Cooks successor in COM
mand of his vessel.
Natives who gave this account to Mr..
Boyd showed him the place where the
calabash containing the viscera was
hidden when it was found by the chill
dren. The part of Kona where Capt.
Cook was killed. though densely popu-
lated and very important part of the
islands at the time of Cooks death,
soon ceased to- be important by the re-
moVad OF the Kings residence to La
Hama, and afterward to Honolulu, as
kamelhameha the Great advanced with
his CONQUEST of the islands. 1t has re-
manned ever since the place least influ-
enced by alien immigration, and to-day
more than anywhere else the Hawaii
ans of Kona retain their primitive
habits of living, industries and pagan
beliefs, and some vestiges of the old
practices. On this account Mr.. Boyd
thinks this account of the affair
worthy of belief.

SPALDlNG AND THE LEAGUE.
THE WHILOM PRESIDENT SENDS
OUT 4 LETTER.

Cannot Perform Any of His Omcial
Duties Pending the Decision of
the Injunction Suit Brought by
Andrew Frcedman-Did Nothing
of Importance Before Being En-
jOined-Both President and League
Seem TO BE in a Bad Way.
New York. Dec. ga. G. Spalding
to-day sent a letter to the eight clubs
of the National League, in which he re-
cited the fact that he had been served
with an injunction to take no further
action as president and secretary and
treasurer of the National League and
American Association of Professional
Baseball Clubs. to which he says he
was notified he had been elected He
says he took up the duties of the Office
at once and made a few preliminary
arrangements for what he considered
the proper conduct of the office before
being served with the injunction, but
since that time has refrained from act
ing in any official way. He then says:
Pending the decision of the case now

torney's advice, ! must refuse to act
further as president and secretary and
treasurer of the National League and
American Association of Professional
Baseball Clubs. and l will strictly COM
ply with what 1 consider to be the
courts order.
Il mad many things in contempla-
ton which, to my mind, seemed to re-
quire immediate attention in the inter-
est of the National League body, and
individual club members, among other
things, urging the various clubs of the
league to Immediately secure a strong
corps of playing talent before all the
desirable players had been permitted
to go to rival organizations, but UNI
der present conditions / can take no
further action in this direction, so it
is up to each club to do that which in
its judgment may seem best for it's
own interest"
Mr.. Saplding says that during the
sixty-six hours he uninterruptedly held
the office he did nothing involving the
league in any financial obligations or
interfering with the property rights of

American and English Drinks.
From the Philadelphia Press

from the fnlladelpnla Press.
The cocktail, by the way, was the
invention of Col. Carter of Culpepper
Court House, Virginia. Many pears ago
in that locality there was a wayside
inn named THE Cock and the Bottle, -
the semblance of an old English tav-
ern, and which bore upon its swinging
sign cock and bottle, meaning there
by that draught and bottled ale could
be had within-the cock" in old YER
nacular, meaning the tap. He, there
fore, who got the least and muddy por-
ton of the tap was said to have re-
ceived the cocktail" Upon one occa-
sion, when Col. Carter was subjected
to the indgnity of having this muddy
beverage put before him, he threw IL
angrily upon the floor and exclaimed /:
Hereafter l will drink cocktails of
my own brewing" and then and
there, inspired evidently by the spirit
Of Ganymede, he dashed together bit
tiers, sugar the oil of lemon Reel and
some old Holland gin, and thus and
then there was the original cocktail
concocted.
The mint julep is another delight for
which the American bartender Is re-
sponsible. 1t got its name from a
Southern gentleman who was a great
admirer of Shakespeare's works and
who, upon an occasion after having
moved by the result that there came
to his mind vision of his favorite her
oine, the daughter of Lady Capulet
and the Sweet sweeting' OF Romeo
thereupon he enthusiastically named
the beverage mint Juliet" a term
which later bibbers have corrupted in
to mint julep.
DeNtrous as Is the touch OF the
American bartender when throwing his
soul into a punch, he cannot lay claim
to the invention of that seductive COM
pound. Strangely enough II had it's rise
in India, its name being derived from
the Indian word punji, meaning five,
and having reference to the number
of ingredients in the original mixture,
spirit, water, lemon, sugar and spice.
When ii was first introduced into Eng
land II was named contradiction" be-
cause 1t was composed of spirits to
make ii strong and water TO make II
weak, OF lemon juice to make ii sour
and sugar to make 1t sweet. BY this
time ii will be observed the spices had
been eliminated.
To his English brother, uninventive
as he generally is. the American bar
tender must concede the credit of hav-
ing discovered tom and Jerry" That
dangerous combination obtained its
name from two characters In a one

Life in London"
To the clergy can the American bar
tender ascribe the indignity so fire.
quently put upon his artistic ability
when he Is called upon TO open a bot
tie OF beer. which in no way represents
the possibilities of his genius. The ia
nous Dean Newell was very fond OF
fishing, and generally placed some new
beer In bottle and took ii with him
upon his excursion. One day, being
disturbed, he buried his bottle under
the grass and when he sought II some
days afterward 1t had so greatly i'm
proved that he afterwards drank bot
tie beer.

NO MORE FIRES AT SEA.
striking Experiments With n Pre-
ventive Gas-DiscOvered by an
EngIishmau.
From the London Mail.

From the London Mail.
A gas that will put out fire has been
Experimental with recently with some
very striking results. The name of
this useful anti-fire agent is sulphur
dioxide gas.
A lighted torch was thrust into a
chamber containing some of this gas
and it was instantly extinguished.
long lighted torch was slowly in
serted in the chamber. and as it en-
tered the fire was extinguished at the
same rate of progression.
A broad redhot bar of iron was in
serted in the chamber, and a torch
composed of straw dipped in naphtha
was then placed upon the iron, but
neither the naphtha nor the straw ig-
nited.
broad red-hot bar of iron was
inserted in the chamber and thrust
into bucket of naphtha, the result
being similar to that of placing red
hot iron in a bucket of water.
The chamber, which at the COM
mencement of the experiments had
contained about per cent. of sulphur
dioxide gas, was now opened, and after
the gas had been dispersed a bonfire
consisting of wood. straw. and other
infiammable articles, over which a
bucketful of naphtha had been thrown,
was lit and allowed to burn freely.
the door was closed and the generator
was started. In very short time the
fire was extinguished
These facts were put forward at the
Royal United Service Institution re-
Gently by Commander w. F.. Claiborne,
Royal Naval Reserve, in the course of
lecture upon 1.-The Spontaneous Com
pustion of Coal on Board Ship" Some
times the big black store of coal on
board ship suddenly hlazes up without
any visible cause. and this, indeed, is
one of the most awful of the terrors OF
the sea.
1t was explained that coal always alb
serbs oxygen from the air, and always
generates heat in consequence of the
combination of the oxygen with the
carbonaceous contents of the coal.
Mr.. Thomas Clayton has invented a
system by which fires can be prevented
or extinguished by the use of sulphur
dioxide gas, and II is claimed that as
soon as a ship has been loaded her
matches may be safely battened down,
so long as per cent. of the sulphur
dioxide gas has afterward been inject
ed into the hold. and that an explosion
of coal gas under these conditions is
an impossibility.

RAILROADS BUNCOED
KANSAS CITY TICKET FORGERs
DID BIG BUSINESS.
LOSSES UP IN THOUSANDS
RAILROADS SEEM TO HAVE BEEN
SLOW TO CATCH ON.

Bogus Ferforating Stamp Used on
forged Union Depot Tickets-Good
Imitation of Conductors Train
Checks Turned Out by Wholesale
Quantities of Forged Live Stock
Contracts Exchanged for Tickets
Roads Seem to Have Gotten 1t in

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. ga gang OF
xorgers of railroad tickets has beer
operating in Kansas City successfully
during the last few weeks, according
to H. c. Townsend of st. Louis. gen.
eraI passenger agent of the Missouri
Pacific, who has been investigating the
fraud with the aid of other railroad
men.
Mr.. Townsend said:
1.-The losses of the Western railroads
will amount to thousands of dollars
There have been three classes of forg-
cries. Some days ago it was discovered
that a bogus perforating stamp had
been used to initiate the stamp that
isjused to mark tickets at the union
buy a stamp exactly like the one that
is used at the Kansas City union depot
tie stamp return ticket coupons. but the
manufacturers suspected something
was wrong and refused to sell it. The
forgers then bought stamp, such as
is used in banks for perforating checks,
changed the dies from Paid to K c.
U. D. and have used it on many forg-
ed tickets.
THE second class of forgeries in
cluded conductors train checks. The
bogus ones were fairly good limitations
of genuine, but they have smooth edges
instead of perforations. Wholesale
frauds have been committed by using
forged live stock contracts which are
exchanged for tickets. We have no
means of knowing how many bogus live
stock contracts and conductors train
checks have been used. l know that
hundreds of fraudulent contracts were
printed here in Kansas City. We have
evidence to show that a Kansas City
ticket broker knows something about
the forgeres. Our road is only one of
the many that has been defrauded.'
Dozens of the forged tickets, it is
said, have been secured by the railway
officials.
Mr. Townsend has telegraphed for c.
c. Mcleod of Chicago, chairman of the
Western Passenger Association, to
come to Kansas City to prosecute the
forgerS.
