well, let me tell you that, as long
as the public want bad things they
can get them. It's an honest fact
that the house won't let a party
off the stage when she gets to do
ing and saying things she should
not. Such things please people.
These managers are out for the
coin and they know how to go after
it. The public must be suited. A
clean show doesn't go.
Now. there's Amelia Bingham,

insane asylum here today.
kahunaism is a sort of witch
craft which has been practiced in
the islands for years, although a
strong effort has been made dur
ing the last few years to wipe it
out.
Several weeks ago. Ninihua and
his young wife, who were living in
Makawao, were called to Hawaii
because of the serious illness of the
young natives father. They found
him nigh unto death. They met n
Japanese named Mitamura, who
claimed to possess the powers of a
kahuna and said he could cure the
old man. After his price had been
agreed on. he went to the house
with a bowl of rice and bottle of
liquor, called sake" The rice was
burned and the sake poured around
the house, as the kahuna custom
provides, but the old man got no
better. A second time 1t was tried,

People Loved Kitchener, Despite
His Almost Callous Indiffer-

COLD RECEPTION FOR ROYALTY.
Mere Murmur of Appreciation for
Prince and Princess of Wales
Enthusiasm for Precious
Few in Procession.

London, Aug. 10.-The newspapers to-
day have been rather ridiculous in some Of
their comments upon the events Of yester-
day. To read these papers one would i'm
agine that no one had ever looked to be
in better health than King Edward.
One exception to the foregoing is found
in Reynolds Weekly Newspaper, whicn.
whatever its standing. has. nevertheless. a
tremendous circulation among the masses
and at least on this occa sion 1t had a good
foundation for Its description of and atti-
tude on the crowd Of yesterday.
The paper acknowledges that mighty
greeting was accorded King Edward and
Queen Alexandra but says:
THE one man the populace knew and de-
sired to cheer above them all was Lord
Kitchener. He was no giided peer because
he was descended on the left-hand side from
the harem of a Seventeenth Century mon
arch. He sat his horse like a centaur, a
grim. stern and never-smiling figure. a man
who had accomplished something. History
may rate his achievements poor. but history
will have to say he worked. The crowd was
not repelled by Lord Kitchener's cold and
almost callous indifference
81 wonder" continues the writer, what
these mighty personages. who, for all the
crowd cares. might have been figures in
waxwork, thought OF the conduct Of the
multitude. The crowd would have naught
to do with your pinchbeck half-dazed royal
ties. your Mecklenburg- -StreIitzes. your
schleswig-Holsteins. nor even your Dukes
of Sparta.
Grown Processes Of Germany were
passed by as though they were Dick, Tom
and Harry.
Even the Prince and Princess Of Wales
passed by with little more than a murmur
of appreciation. Perhaps the most salts
factory feature of the occasion was the gen.
eraI refusal of the democracy to make
themselves absurd by overefrusive demon
strations.
'HOf the thirty or forty royal personages
not more than half dozen aroused what
could be called enthusiasm. Queen Alex
andra's popularity was proved, but some of
the Princesses were seen to be bowling
gracefully in response to no salutattpns

ISSUES MESSAGE TO PEOPLE.
AS the Home Is Sacred to the Mem
ory of His Mother, He Wishes
That 1t Be Always Open
to the Public.

London, Aug 10-King Edward has sig
nalized his coronation in a memorable man
ner by the munificent gift to the nation OF
Osborne House, one OF the favorite resi-
dences of Queen Victoria.
The gift is made in the following mes
sage to his people. addressed to Prime
Minister Balfour. For reasons apparent in
the document itself, his Majesty makes his
intention public.
buckingham Palace. Coronation Day.
Ieo2-Under the wifi of the Kings much be-
loved mother, the Osborne House estate is.
as Mr.. Balfour is aware, the private es-
tate of the sovereign.
Having to spend a considerable part of
the year in the Capital of this Kingdom
and in its neighborhood. at Windsor, and
having also strong home ties in the coun-
ty of Norfolk, which have existed now for
nearly forty years. the King feels he will
be unable to make adequate use of Osborne
House as a royal residence and he. ac-
cordingly, has determined to offer the
property in the Isle of Wight as gift to
the Nation.
"As Osborne House is sacred to the men,
ory of the late Queen, 1t is the Kings wish
that. with the exception Of those apart
ton OF her Majesty, his people shall always
have access to the house, which must ever
be associated with her beloved name.
las regards the rest of the building, the
King hopes 1t may be devoted to national
purposes. and be converted into a conva-
lescent home for officers of the navy and
army whose health has been impaired in
rendering service to their country.

the Kings wishes it is found that appli-
cation to Parliament be necessary the
King trusts that Mr.. Balfour will see that
the necessary steps are in due course
taken"
About a year ago dispatches to American
newspapers from their London correspond
ents alleged that King Edward was desirous
of disposing. by private sale. of Osborne
House for two reasons-its impracticability
as royal residence and the comparatively
great cost OF its maintenance.
Once offered for Sale.
1t was further alleged that negotiations
had been seriously entered into between
the Kings agents and certain American
millionaires for the sale of Osborne House
to one of the latter and that these nego-
tiations were broken Off by the action of
the law councillors of the King, who called
his Maiesty's attention to clause in Queen
Nictoria's will by virtue of which Osborne
House and the immediate estate became
"appurtenances Of the sovereignty OF Eng
land"
Under this clause II was declared King
Edward was estopped from disposing Of the
royal residence. 1t was alleged at the
time that among the millionaires negotiat-
ing for the purchase of Osborne House was
