HAWAII As An EXAMPLE.
PANIC A THING OF
THE PAST.
The Fearful Experiences of Fifty Years
Ago in Honolulu as An Argument for
Vaccination

The smallpox panic is, in fact, a
thing of the past says the Chicago
Record Herald, and we have only
to contrast incidents like the con-
troll of the disease i'm Chicago and
the perfect security that is felt against
it here, with the epidemcs of old, dur
ing which vaccination was almost I'M
tried, to appreciate the marvellous
change that has been wrought by this
preventive. Moreover, means for a
striking contrast are furnished just
now in the Personal "Reminiscences"
of William Cooper Parke, who was for
thirty years marshal of the Hawaiian
Islands.
An epidemic started at Honolulu,
May 49, 1853 the first victims being two
native women. The energetic white in
habitants Immediately established
quarantine, and the government and
health board and consulting physicians
seem to have acted, not only with
promptness but with intelligence. But,
says Mr.. Parker, 'the disease spread
like widfre and the natives were
panic stricken. There had been but
little general vaccination among the
natives, so the disease had a clear field,
and as they We're ignorant of the mala-
dy and did not know how to take care
of themselves they died like sheep"
At one period as many as forty or
fifty corpses were buried a day, and the
total number of deaths amounted to
2.4S5. 1t is more to our purpose, how
ever, to record the number of cases,
which was 6,405, most all of them being
isolated on the small Island of Oahu
whose population was not as large as
that of a Chicago ward This is to be
set against less than a hundred cases

CURSE OF KEOPULUPULU.
AN OLD STORY APPLIED TO THE
PRESENT.
Interesting Program of Kaumakapili
Entertainment-A Prophecy That
Was Made Two Hundred Years Ago.

"The Prophecy of the High Priest
Keopulupulu" and it's fulfiment form
the subject of a story which was
told in detail at Kaumakapili last
night by woman who traces her an
cestry back to the days of the priest
in question who made his prophecy
and died long before the first Kameha-
meha appeared on the scene. She is
Mrs. r.. NJ. Nakuina. Mrs. Nakuina
gave an interesting tale, which though
it goes POO years back, she says con-
tains a prophecy now being fulfilled.
Mrs. Nakuina found the fulfilment of a
prophecy by the old priest in the sue
cessive conquests Of Oahu and final
annexation of all the islands by the
United States.
Keopulupulu's prophecy was a curse
and a prediction that powers beyond
the sea would rule the land. The legend
tells how at Koolau he heard the con-
spiracies of two kings who plotted to
murder him, Though the kings were at
Waikiki and a mountain range was be-
tween them and Keopulupulu, he heard
all they said. He did not save himself
and was killed with all his family. 1t
is related that as he fell MORALLY
wounded he saw his son fighting for
life and he shouted to him to continue
struggling and that when he died THE
land should belong to the sea-" Then
| the old sage passed away.
The prophecy or curse, Mrs. Nakuina
says, has been slowly being verified
these 200 years until it eliminated ac-
cording to native belief in the eXtin-
guishment of one national independ-
ence and being absorbed by a power
| from beyond the sea-"
First a Maui King came from over
the sea and conquered oahu. Then a
king from Hawaii, still further over the
sea, did the same thing and at last, in
recent years the whole islands were
merged into another and powerful gov
eminent which rules from over the sea
thus fulfilling literally the prediction
of the murdered sage.
1T is to be hope" says Mrs Nakuina
that the curse is now eXpiated and
that another power from further be-
yond the sea may not in the future
gain possession of the islands"
KeOpulupulu and his brother was thu
last of the high priests exercising thu
| full power of the station on the islanC
of Oahu and the King Kahahana, one
of those who murdered him, was thu
last Independent king of Oahu, al
others after him being kings from
other islands,

KIPLING'S DENUNCIATION

giving further details of the
attack on Company of the Ninth Regi-
ment:
From those who escaped the following
is learned: September "a, while at break
fast Company was attacked at the sig
nal ringing of the convent bells by about
45O bolomen, 200 from the rear of quarters
and 200 in front simultaneously attacking
the officers quarters. The company was
completely surprised and the force at
,tacking the front gained possession of the
arms. A fight ensued for them, in which
most of the men met death in the mess
room in the rear. The enemy was beaten
off temporarily by about twenty-five men
who gained their arms. Sergeant Betron
assumed command, endeavored to collect
the men and leave in boats, but was re-
attacked by the enemy. The strength of
the command was three officers and sew
enty-two men; the killed are three Off
GERS and forty enlisted men, missing Six
wounded thirteen, present thirteen.
The party attacking the officers in the
convent retired through the church, large
numbers being led by the Presidente.
Probably 1Ql rifles were with the com
