THERE ARE THREE
SECRET SOCIETIES

Secret societies for control of Ha-
waiian politics have taken great
strides within the past month, until
now instead of one there are said to
be three full fedged organizations, for
the purpose OF keeping the control of
affairs in the hands of the aboriginal
people of the country. The societies
have for their ostensible object the
keeping out of public life unworthy
men, and it is said that the men who
have control of them so far have beer
able to keep down talk of personality,
in large degree.
Recent events have shown that there
is danger of the word moo" breaking
up the organizations. In the search
for the people who will be true to their
pledges to be guided entirely by the
will of the society some have been en-
countered who have shown a tendency
to think for themselves and it is re-
ported that there is danger that they
will be thrown out of the organizations.
The secret societies have ironclad
laws against discussion of their objects
or the divulgence of the names of the
members, so that very little is known
beyond that which is to be picked up.

THERE IS ONE KAHUNA FOR
EVERY FIFTY OLD NATIVES

"Of course it will not hold with the
younger generation, but you take the
real old Hawaiians, and l should say
that about one in every fifty is ka-
huna"
That is the estimate Of high official
in the police department, a man who
knows whereof he speaks. 1t seems
that the practice of kahunaism does
not obtain so much with the younger
generation. This may be ascribed to
education, partly, to association with
haoles who laugh at all kinds of spir-
inevitable passing of a knowledge of
things that are old with the dying of
of the elder generation. But a Hawaii
an is as full of superstition as he can
hold, for all that, and the kahunas in
active practice find themselves making
a very good living at it, even in these
degenerate days. 1.-The other fellows
bring him his grub. and he lives on
the other fellows grub" is the way a
native puts it. "He make plenty easy
grub, that kahuna"
Kahunaism, as it is practiced now,
is something in the nature Of the faith
cure that obtains among people with
many more educational advantages
than the native Hawaiians have ever
he6, something Of survival Of kind
of 'dsvil worship that seems to have
gone hand in hand with the old native
religion. Indeed, in some remote dis
trfcts. as in the mountain regions OF
the Island OF Hawaii and even in Moi
liili, on this island OF Oahu. where Is
a community OF old Hawaiians, the
practice OF the old religion is said TO
be very hourishing indeed. Kahunaism
is not the old religion, exactly, but it is
allied to 1t. The kahunas are the peo-
pie who claim to direct ancestral
devils. Those who have died in every
mans family, according to the ka-
hunas, make it their chief business,
and their chief pleasure in that other
place. wherever it is that they have
gone, to make this life a burden to
those who have come down from their
blood And when a man gets sick, 1t
is generally these ancestral devils who
are pinching him. 1t is the business CT
the kahuna TO cast out these devils, TO
make them loosen their grip. and moth
Ing loosens the grip of devil like the
blood OF a white chicken. So white |
chicken is killed and eaten-usually by
the kahuna. That is part of his per-
quisite. Then the kahuna must have
other food supplies, too. No witch
doctor can wrestle with devils unIess
he is fed up and made strong for the |
combat Also, the kahuna does not |
disdain the use of herbs and simples. !

IN NEW HALL

The Honolulu Salvationists dedicat-
ed new hall last night. The new
hall is on King street, between Fort
and Bethel, and is a commodious
place. 1t was Salvationist hall many
years ago, and is now reclaimed for
the army work. A large crowd wit
messed the ceremonies last night, but
before that the army turned out in
new uniforms and white helmets, and
with a full brass band that made real
music for the street parade and meet
ing. The services in the hall we're
of the usual character, different only
in the differing impulses of the speak
ers, and were conducted by four saliva
ton lassies, Major Lizzie Harris, Ad-
jutant May Coe, Ensign Lottie Mat
thias and Ensign Grace Burgess. The
meeting was a most successful one,
from the Salvationist view point, and
TIE same officers will conduct a series
of meetings in the new hall today.

chewing these up and applying them as
poultices, usually, and cases have been
known where the cure OF broken limbs
and gunshot wounds are promised from
4 the application of poultices OF sweet
potato and ava root. AS in more civ
ilized surgery, these are always beau
tiful operations, but the patient-weH,
the patient dies.
But this is not all. The kahunas do
more than cast out devils. They di-
rect the attacks of them, and il is by
a sort of blackmail worked upon the
fears Of the natives in this way that
the kahunas get their most profitable
trade. Any man will conciliate a man
or woman who holds the devil in the
hollow of his hand, and directs him to
worry his enemies. You would your
self-if you had faith in the devil. And
, when you see thing with fiery tail
fly through the air at night and aligh-
at the door of your house, sizzling,
you'd better look out, for that is
devil made of the sacred kaiaipahoa
wood, and some kahuna has sent it to
work your undoing. And 1t is prob
ably one of the kahunas that control
the head devils that has done 1t, too,
for they are the only ones that dare
monkey with the kalatpahoa. There
are two of these head devils, Kunukahi
and Palamoa, and they are brothers
and there is not an old Hawaiian in
these islands who is not afraid as
death of them. BY the way, that Hilo
meteor might have been a messenger
from the devil brothers, turned loose
by some venomous kahuna to terrorize
the big island. The description fits.
1t Is the kahunas, too, who practice
the courteous habit OF praying people
to death, but you cannot get a Hawaii
an to talk much about that. There are
too many devils floating around loose
in the circumambient atmosphere, and
too many kahunas in secret converse
with them to make it prudent for fell
low to talk overmuch.

Singer from far of northern skies,
To where December summers blaze
Where seldom notes of radiance rise
To capture us in sweet amaze
You brought your splendor and its rays
Enriched this world of weak and
strong,
Who love your singing, for it says,
The fairest of all Queens is Song"
Our tears are dried and sorrow flies,
The soul shines out in kindlier phase
When in an earthly paradise,
We taste your singing as it strays
Among the wealth of golden ways;
Fled in despair and vanished wrong,
For in the heart your teaching stays,
The fairest of all Queens is Song
Around sweet songs and melodies
Of passionate perfection plays
Your sunshine-sweet contentment lies
Within your echo-Time delays,
And even Destiny obeys
Your voices empire DER the throng
Who greet you with this purest praise,

A PITIFUL CASE.

Inhuman Husband Drove His Wife and
Dying Child Out of doors at O'Clock
Yesterday morning.
What the Grand avenue police say is
one of the most pitiful cases they have
had to contend with for some time &C.
Cured about o'clock yesterday morn
ing. At that time Mrs. McKeon of 201
Chapel street came to the Grand ave-
nue. police station with six months
old child and complained that her hus-
band, John McKeon, had driven both
she and the child out of doors scantily
clad. She also said that the child was
dying and at 8 o'clock yesterday after
noon the child died.
AS soon as Sergeant Mcbride received
the complaint he sent the wagon with
Patrolmen O'Connor and Stamp to the
house and they arrested the inhuman
husband and father. Yesterday morn
ing when McKeon's case was called in
court, his wife was too ill from the ex-
posture she had been subjected to to ap-
pear against him and his case was con-
tinued until Monday morning. McKeon
has been arrested before and has a po-
lice record.

oRAToRIo SOCIETY CONCERT.

First on December 9th in Woolsey Hall
Messiah" to be Sung.
An appropriate preliminary to the
Christmas season this year will be the
promised performance of Handel's ever
inspiring oratorio, the Messiah" on the
evening Of December 9th in Woolsey
hall. On this occasion Of the New Ha-
ven oratorio society under the leader
ship of Professor H. w. Parker will
make Its first appearance in public.
Woolsey hall with its perfect acous-
tics, big organ and perfectly beauti-
full interior win furnish a perfect and
fitting home for the performance Of
great choral work. Miss Anita Rio, the
soprano soloist at the last Symphony
concert, declares she had never sung in
a more perfect auditorium. The effect
of a chorus Of $50 singing on the stage
Of the hall, with the addition Of a large
orchestra and full organ, will certainly
produce a, thrilling climax in such great
numbers as the ~Hallelujah'' chorus.
The sale OF seats for the Messiah"
will open on Wednesday next, Deem
Der End, in the rotunda of Woolsey
hall for a special rehearsal. during
which the names Of the soloists will be
announced by the president S. S. San
ford.

AN UNPLEASANT
EXPERIENCE,

Has 1t ever been your unhappy lot to
be told by your physician that you
must go to a hospital and submit to an
operation? If so you remember with
what dread and shrinking you awaited
the day when you must endure the
knife.
The present day surgeon appears to
be possessed by mania for operating,
especially in cases OF hemorrhoids or
piles, and while the great number of
the profession do not recommend this
last resort" unless they honestly be-
lieve it necessary, the fact remains
that much needless operating is done,
and the patient put to much expense
and suffering for what?
To obtain a possible temporary re-
lief: these words are used advisedly,
because in nine cases out of ten the af-
Fiction returns and the patient is just
where he started from Oftentimes he
could be cured much more simply and
easily by the use of such a remedy as
the Pyramid Pile Cure: this has come
to be recognized as the best remedy on
the market for the painful disease
named, and the druggists now sell
more of it than all other pile remedies
combined.
The writer personally knows people
who were afflicted with the worst form
of bleeding and protruding piles and
who were permanently cured by the use
of Pyramid Pile Cure. In every one of
these cases the attending physician had
assured the sufferer that only by an
operation could he rid himself of the
disease; so much for the infallibility of
the doctors.
This remedy which is sold by all
druggists at the low price of fifty cents,
is in suppository form. is applied di-
rectly to the parts affected, and per-
forms its work quietly and painlessly.

suggestion is offered that If the
reader is afflicted or knows anyone
who is, this book be sent for, as it will
be found invaluable.
