A PRODIGAL PRINCE.
Notable Instances of the Extravn-
gance of Scion of the Royal
House of Hawaii.

Prince David kawananakoa who is
nephew of the late Queen Kapiolani of
Hawaii. and who. with his brother
Cupid, inherited her fortune, is one of
the most prodigal of Hawaiians, says
a San Francisco correspondent of the
New York Tribune. When the Buffalo
expedition ended a quintette of Ha-
waiian musicians, who had been play
ing in the Midway plaisance there,
went to San Francisco to take vessel
for Honolulu. Prince David was stay
ing at the Occidental hotel in San Fran
cisco, and when he met his country
men dissuaded them from sailing at
once for their homes, and engaged
them for a month TO play a his pleas
ure. The guests of the Occidental ho-
tel enjoyed exceedingly the music and
songs Of the native musicians, who
were ordered by Prince David to play
TWO or three times week during the
serving of dinner at the hotel. This
whim Of the prince cost him pretty
penny.
In Honolulu, where Prince David has
4 magnificent home az Waikiki. he
often entertainS a hundred or more of
his friends for a day at a time. When
he was making the campaign for dele
gate TO congress 1R years ago he at
one time gave feast to 200 of his con-
stituents. This banquet was served in
the open air, as is the custom in Ha.

OUEEREST OF ALL THEFTS.
Not Very Particular Thief Carries
OF seventy-Five skunks With
out Leaving Any Trace.

Francis VOL, a Montour county
farmer, would like to know who stole
his skunks. Vol lately had rs fine
skunks. One night they were all taxi
en- away in a bunch, and Vol has been
nosing around the neighborhood ever
since trying to strike the trail of the
thief, says a Hazleton (Pa.) CORE
spondent of the Chicago Inter Ocean.
ITS dummed strange" he said last
night, after a weary days hunt, that
I can't strike nary trail. Now it
stands to reason somebody stole them
skunks, and it's equally sure it must
"a been somebody what knows skunks
pretty well, or the beasts would "a left
q trail | could follow"
VOL established a skunk farm about
six weeks ago in a remote part of Mon
tour county and stocked it with Is
skunks and 300 bull frogs, from both
of which he expected to realize con-
siderable revenue, especially from the
skunks, which are becoming scarcer
hereabouts every year, and conse-
quently more valuable for commercial
purposes.
The industry thrived from the start,
and VOL found that so long as the
skunks were well fed they would not
lose their temper unless roughly
handled. Just about the time Woll be-
gan to congratulate himself on his
business sagacity some thief carried
off his entire stock. The skunks were

woven wire. One morning last week
when VOL went to the farm to feed his
stock he found that the fence inclosing
the pound had been torn down and
every skunk was missing.

"Shows what ami" he said, fiercely,
as he made an attempt to get up, light
a candle and go down for it.
But he found the effort quite appal-
linglv severe, and gave il up.
He dozed deliriously, played with
Mary in boy-and-girl fashion. danced
with her, had her al to himself in the
Bradshaw woods, wooed and won her
ali over again. Of and on he woke, 10
gasp and groan and utter exclama-
tionS.
For the second time the girl knocked
at his door.

set her ear to listen.
She did not listen long, but hurried
downstairs, with word for the master
that the gentleman in No. 3 was shout
ing in the queerest way.

The landlord made no bones about
entering Dicks room when he. too had
raped TO no purpose. He gazed at
Dick for a few moments, and felt his
blood chill a little at Dicks furious
cry: 81 tell you you are dead, Mary, so
don't deny it," touched Dicks burning
forehead, and left him.
Hes in fcver-that's what's the
matter with him." he said You just

Poor young fellow" said Jane,
eagerly. "That will, sir"

A SILK STRING CURE.
Novel Self-Trentment That Proved
Effective in IL severe Cnse Of
Lumbago.

In Gen. +. c. Latrobe's varied and ex-

have been hundreds Of letters begging
him to send the writer's some of his
renowned si,ken strings for the cure
Of lumbago, reports the Baltimore
Sun.
While Gen. Latrobe was attending
the sessions of the last legisla ture. and
was incidentally nursing a severe case
Of lumbago, S. w. Pattison met him
one day and suggested that Il he
would simply tie a silk string about
his waist next to the skin he would
be cured The genera experienced
an unusually severe twinge that night,
and in desperation ordered his man
servant, Robert to tie on the string.
From that time the lumbago began
TO depart until the next day, when
II entirely disappeared. Gen. Latrobe
was enabled to stay in Annapolis.
The story Of his cure becoming
noiScd abroad. letters began to come
in by the score, until finally, in order
to find time TO attend to any other
business, Gen. Latrobe referred all let
ters to his man Robert whom he there
upon gave the name of DIR. Wilson.
Since that time "Dr." Wilson, spe-
cialist in lumbago, has been making
a tidy little income selling silk strings

his hand (he had but one) into his
pocket and drew forth a nickel,
which he inserted in the slot of pic

his eyes to the holes provided for the
purpose, and saw things.
Capt. Dlforth, who was with him t
the time, states that for an instant

collapsed, for the colonel, after brief
period Of attention to the scene the
nickel had revealed 10 his gaze, gave
utterance TO an exclamation indicative
Of shock, Immediately succeeding
which he executed a most undignitied
and unmiilary dance, while his face
became distorted with emotion.
"The rose!" he cried. The rose!

gently by the arm; yes, yes, know.

The captain was nothing loath, and
