DEvoUR A DISH OF DOC.
Hawsiians Put Up q Job on Party 81
United States Senators Who
Visited Honolulu.

Honolulu, Hawaii. Oct. 15, via San
Francisco, Oct. 26.-Hawaiians are
laughing heartily over joke they say
was played on members of the senate
rial commission last month.
United States Senators Mitchell OF
Oregon, Foster of Washington, and
Burton of Kansas, were made to eat
dog-not political dog, but real cooked
canine. Those who are authority for
the story declare the senators ate the
fare with relish and callet for more.
This dish was served the party at one
of the native "Luaus" or feasts. during
their recent visit in Honolulu.
Roast Dog q Deiicacy.
Among Hawaiians cooked dog has
long been esteemed one Of the great
est of delicacies. No native feast Is
ever complete without such dish, and
by old and young the morsel is eagerly
sought. So great has been the de-
mand for luau dogs that numerous ma
tives have specially engaged in raising
dogs for this market.
The senators and their party while
here were invited to many entertain
ments in Honolulu. Invariably when
an invitation to Hawaiian luau came
there was special delight among the
senators-they were anxious to enjoy
some of the many original and deli
cious Hawaiian dishes.
Wanted All of Them.
Knowing the adherence OF the
white person to eating dog, Hawaiians
have not in recent years served the
animal at all of their feasts where
white guests were present. The SEN
ators, however, had expressed the de-
sire to see and know all of the Ha-
waiian dishes. The party attended a
regular Hawaiian luau. All of the del
icacies that Hawaiian culinary art
could supply were there. Everything
was well cooked and the party par
took of every dish offered them.
Burton Tempted Them.
"Try some of this meat, senators.
said Senator Burton to his colleagues.
at is simply delicious. Strange how
these Hawaiians have learned the art
of cooking pig. | never tasted such
delightful roast pig in my life"
The other senators tasted OF the
"pig" and declared 1t excellent.
But the pig" was one of the famous
Hawaiian luau dogs.

Railroad Com mission.

The railroad commission met at
Jackson last week and granted the
request of the railroads for further
time in which to consider the recent
suggested schedule on cotton goods.
A delegation from Vicksburg ap-
peared before the commission and
complained Of alleged excessive
switching charges on fuel oil, and
the commission thereupon cited the
Yazoo & Mississippi Valley and the
Alabama & Vicksburg railroads to
be represented at the next meeting
in answer to the charges.
Representatives Of the Mobile &
Ohio and Southern railroads were
cited to appear at the next meeting
and show cause why they should not
be required to build union passen-
ger depot at Corinth.
A schedule of rates on home man.
ufactures, boilers, machinery and
clothing was submitted by Commits
sioner Kincannon. These rates
were in turn referred to the railroad
company, with the suggestion that
if there was no opposition they
would be made effective.

Mormons at vicksburr.

Several Norman elders applied to
Mayor Trowbridge Of Vicksburg to
be allowed to carry on open air
preaching and to distribute litera-
ture. The mayor declined to permit
the open air preaching, and advised
them to secure a hall or building
somewhere and conduct their scry-
ices indoors. As to the literature
he advised them to restrict their OPP
erations to the male members of the
community only, as that would prob
ably be the safest plan.

Hard Money Only.

The State treasury vaults now
contain nothing but metallic cur
rency, there being no paper money
of any kind or description on hand.
This condition is quite unusual, espe-
cially as there is nearly quarter of
million dollars in the vaults. The
bulk of this money is silver coin and
to'ne gold. Persons who have war
rants amounting to any great sum
have to carry the heavy metal with
them. Treasurer Carlisle prefers to
have the metal money on hand, as it
does not present very inviting pic
ture to the burglar trade. A man
could not carry away enough silver
to induce him to take such chances
as raid on the treasury would re-
uuire.

THE OPERA.
The opera last night was a success
from every standpoint. 1t was not
only the largest thing in the way of
dfuuSeIucutS We u0Nc 0du ucEc IOT
years, but the only touch of grand
opera we have had since years ago
when Emma Abbott used to come
here. The selection of Carmen was
not a good one for that reason. It
is one of the operas in which familiari-
ty with the music and the libretto is
actually needed to make it enjoyable
in full measure. Much of its
beauty is in its dramatic
force and fire, which the
music expresses, but to which the
libretto is the key. Had the selec
ton been Trovatore with its more
familiar solos and choruses the cur
tain calls would have b. en- more
numerous. Miss Shay's interpreta-
ton of Carmen was not at all like
Abbott's used to be. nor was it cal
culated to take so well with the audi
ence. Abbott made tender, sweet
creation of Carmen, which under Miss
Shay's ideas becomes all vivacity
and spirit. 1t was great
presentation though, and very
beautiful, supplemented as it was
with excellent scenery, good support
in principals, strong, well voiced
chorus, and an orchestra most ably
