gather up again; and as l have spent
several months in the Islands, several
years. ago, | feel competent to shed
any amount of light upon the matter.
(Laughter.)
Z These Islands are situated 2,100 miles
southwest from San Francisco, Cal,
out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
Why they were put out there, so far
away from any place and in such an
out-of-the-way locality, is a thing
which no one can explain. daughter
But it's no matter. They are twelve
in number, and their entire area ism t
more than that of Rhode Island and
Connecticut combined. They are all
of volcanic origin and volcanic con-
struction. There is nothing there but
lava and pumice stone-except sand and
coral. There isn't spoonful of legiti-
mate dirt in the entire group. Eighty
or ninety years ago they had a native
population of full 100000 souls, and
they were comfortable, prosperous and
happy. But then the white people
came and brought trade and commerce
and education, and complicated dis
eases, and civilization, and other ca
lamities, and as a consequence the
poor natives began to die off with won
derful rapidity, so that forty or fifty
years ago the 100000 had become re-
duced to 100000. Then the white peo-
pie doubled the educational facilities,
and this doubled the death rate. The
nation is doomed. 1t will be extinct in
fifty years, without doubt. Some peo-
pie in this house may live TO hear of
the death of the last of the ''Kanakas."

MARK TWAlN'S LECTURE. ON
THE ISLANDS OF HAWAII
A Discourse Which Helped the Author to
Get His Reputation as a
humorist

twenty-five years ago this month,
Mark Twain delivered his character
istie lecture on the Sandwich Islands
at the Academy of Music, New York
City. The manuscript was not pre-
served, and fragments of that. lecture
are reprinted from newspaper report
made at the time. Hawaii" as it was
popularity called, was one of Mark
Twain's early lectures, and, repeated
in many parts of the country, it added
materially to his fame as an American
humorist of high degree. Many of the
humorists statements, spoken then in
jest, have become truths. The lecture
is as follows:
Ladies and gentlemen: There
doesn't appear to be anyone here TO iu-
troduce me, and so we will have to let
that go by default. | am the person
who is to deliver the lecture, and 1
shall try to get along just the same
as If | was introduced | suppose [
ought to apologize for the weather (the
night was very stormy, but | can't
hold myself altogether responsible for
it. so l will let it go as it is.
The only apology which / can offer
for appearing before you to talk about
the Sandwich Islands is the fact that
the recent political changes there have
rendered it rather necessary for us to
post ourselves concerning that country:
to know a little something about the
people; what we have forgotten, TO

Thursday, after an absence of three
months in the mountains, during
which he, and party passed the time
prospecting and also dong more OF
less hunting and fishing. He re-
ports immense areas of territory stalk
ed out, and very small amount of
work done, or possible, this year. He
also visited the old camp of Mineral,
and says there is more real effective
work going on there than in all other
localities combined, and that the pre-
sent conditions promise a good tut
ure, for this once active mineral To-
cality, we hope his surmise Is correct.

it criminal offence to infringe on
