the visitor is expected to climb down
into and explore. Candle in hand you
go through that place and into various
dark passages where little nubbins of
stalactites may be picked from the roof.
On the surface are various curios, hot
sink known as the Devils Kitchen,
and a miniature volcano which one of
the Dickey brothers, years ago, named
the Little Beggar. An eruption was on
in the main pit then and a sideshow
volcano about sixteen feet high cropped
up on the lava plain, much to the dis
gust of an English tourist who found,
as he said, 1.-The nawsty little beggar
splitting in my pawth.' When Dickey
heard that he baptized the impudent
volcanic stranger with the name it YET
bears.
Nobody should leave Hawaii without
a visit to Ki1auea. Charles Nordhoff,
who was widely travelled, once said:
"Kilauea is one of the seven wonders
of the world. The others are the Pyra-
mids, Niagara, Yosemite, the Yellow
stone, the Tai Mahal and the view from
Mont Blanc" And Charles Nordhoff
knew what he was talking about.
One learns to his surprise that the
Volcano is owned by the Bishop Estate
and leased to the Volcano House Com
pany for $3.50 a year. What is more

to remove the volcano or any part of it.

The sightseer at the Volcano House
too often contents himself with a visit
. to the crater and to Kilauea-iki, and
| with the creature comforts which Host
Bidgood knows so well how to provide.
But there are other things worth wni'e
which one finds at the end of pleasant
drives, a stately fern forest, for in
stance, a place of picnic glens and the
! twitter of strange birds. Further along
is a koa grove, gnarled and twisted and
almost PROSTATE, looking like the night
mare forest which Dore's pencil drew
across the darkling text of Dante. Close
by one finds what is left of a gigantic
koa grove of antiQuity-trees from three
to eight feet in diameter. These relics
are moulds in solid lavas; deep holes,
their sides marked with bark lines and
twisted places where the branches
thrust themselves through the molten
food which suddenly overwhelmed
them. Here was a deep gulch into
which lava poured like flood, encasing
, the trees and suddenly cooling as lava
does-cooling so quickly that the bark
of the trees was not burned off but
held together to leave it's autograph in
the strange matrix. Looking down into
the earth, ten, twelve, twenty feet and
more, one sees the mould of tree
which may have been green and leafy
when the cradle of Moses rocked in the
river among the reeds, or when from
the depths of Mount Sinai assembled the
lava fires which the Israelites, in their
superstitious terror, COMPOUNDED with
the presence of Jehovah.
Unfortunately the owner or lessee OF
the tree-mould park is filling up the
holes to keep his pigs and calves from
falling into them.

away that lava or those beetling cliffs

Little Beggar has cooled off into an
asset and is probably set down for
sum equal to a princes ransom in the

records the ownership of 50 vast a part

it is a standing refutation of the libel

struck me as being like that of San
Francisco in summer without the 'hol-
low changeIess breeze" The skies are
often sullen, the days are never warm
as under a sympathetic sun and at
night one needs heavy blankets. Occa-
sionally the clouds touch the earth and
produce the effect of fog. As in San
Francisco there is a stfmulant in the
air and the newcomer from the heat of
Hilo instinctively draws long breaths
and fills his lungs. Whether due more
to climate or appetite L am not sure.
but vegeta bles and other food seem to
taste better at the Volcano House than
they do down on the lowlands any
where. Crisp air is needed for other
growths beside celery and they say it
makes potatoes, cabbages and especial
ly turnips of better flavor. AS for ap-
petite the more cold the more hunger
and the more need of stimulating food.
The Volcano House has a plain, whole
some and appetizing menu, three times
a day. And there is abundance on the
table.
The comforts of the Volcano House
are simple and genuine; the discomforts
few if any. OF things that vex the
spirit down by the sea one meets none
no heat. no mosquitoes, no cock
reaches, no wilted vegetables, no cold
storage food. To be sure the Nature
Man happens in but as he doesn't stay
long the affiiction can be borne. China
tically and almost every other way one
reVe's in contrasts at the Volcano
House. There are cool days and crisp
evenings-times when you can see your
the while; and it is fed on good things
that taste as they do back East. Then
one may be careless and comfortable in
dress, for Host and Hostess Bidgood
are no more austere in sartor1al rules
than hospitable farmers would be. You
may clothe yourself in your easiest gar
ments and then loaf and invite your
soul" You may get up from he fern
nook where you have been making your
peace with nature and go to dinner
without running the gauntlet of poised
lorgnettes. There is solid comfort in
the great rude, whitewashed sitting
room with its blazing fireplace, its easy,
old-time rocking chairs and sofas, its
billiard table and record books. People
desert the stiff parlor and gather in the
big room where they read, smoke, pop
corn, make molasses candy and play
pedro. There is not a single CLINT of
style about that room. 1t is as uncon-
ventional as the inside of a log house.
But warmth and cheer and the air of
peace are ever there and the worried
mortal straightens out his nerves and
the selfish one grows sympathetic. The
whitewashed room is full of memories
too; it used to be all there was of the
hotel and many a king, queen, prince,
admiral statesman, scholar and liter

Thurston, prominent society woman, was
placed on trial to-day for attempting to
blackmail his employer.
Tilbury claimed he had received letters
from Mrs. Thurston and threatened her with
their publication unless he was given $4,000.
Mrs. Thurston arranged to give the money
and officers placed him under arrest at the
very moment he was receiving it, Mrs.
Thurston declared that she had never writ
ten any letters to Tilbury and that the en-
tire matter was blackmailing scheme.
Tilbury when placed on the stand this
evening swore that he had received the let
ters and that Mrs. Thurston had offered him
$4,000 for them and had promised to marry
him after securing a divorce from Mr..
ThurstOn. Although he claimed that he had
received $50 letters from Mrs. Thurston, he
failed to produce them when called upon to
do so by the state. After being pressed or
the matter. Tilbury said the letters were in a
tin box in the barn at the Thurston resi-
dence. Officers were at once sent to search,
but at a late hour tonight had been unable
to find anything. During his evidence to-
Gay Tilbury said that he came to this coun-
try in 1891 while on furlough from the Brit

Clark S TRAIN MAKING
RECORD-BREAKING RUN

TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 2S.-Charles w.
Clark. son of United States Senator Clark,
Of Montana, passed through Topeka at 1:55
a. m. on a special Santa Fe train, which is
making a record breaking run. He was
called to New York by news of his wife's
illness. The Santa Fe dispatcher's office re-
ports that Mr.. Clark has not yet learned of
his wife's death. An effort was made to
give him the Associated Press dispatch an
nouncing her death. but the train rushed
through Topeka at the rate of forty miles an
hour. No stops will be made until Kansas
City is reached, about 800 o'clock. The
Santa Fe had special engines ready at all
the important stations between here and
Newton to be used in case of accident.
cept at small station for water after En-
poria was passed. The train will reach Chi
cago about ii o'clock this morning, in time
for Mr.. Clark to take the Lake Shore Twen-
tieth Century limited for New York.
The run from Albuquerque, n. M, to La
Junta, Col, 347 miles, was made in eight
hours. This is thirty-eight minutes faster
than was made by the Lowe special over the
same division last August. All this was
through the mountainous districts of New
Mexico and Colorado. On reaching the Kan
sas prairies all previous records were left
behind. The train left La Junta at 2:30 and
was due at Newton, Kan, at $40 A slight
delay was encountered at Dodge City and IL
was 1880 before ii left Newton. The run of
135 miles to Topeka was made in two hours
and forty-five minutes. Local Santa Fe off,
cials say all past records will be broken and
that the run from Albuquerque TO Chicago
will be made in less than thirty hours.

HELD ON AND MAY LIVE

CHICAGO. Jan. 27.-"Block the limited,
there's a man on the cowcatcher'
This message flashed along the Pennsyl-
vania line told the story of a railroad acci-
dent just outside of Chicago which nearly
cost mans life and which, trainmen say,
was almost unprecedented in their expert
ence. John Hancrow, while crossing the
tracks in Park Manor. was caught from
his feet. hurled in the air. recaught on the
cowcatcher. and while the train sped on
nearly a mile a minute he saved himself
by wrapping his arms around the iron
beams in front of the engine. Two of his
ribs and one of his legs were broken; yet
in spite of a freezing temperature he clung
for four miles, unable TO get signal to
the engineer and fireman, who were only
a few feet behind him. Not until tele-
phone messages were sent ahead and the
train was stopped by signal at the River
Line station, was the man rescued. Han
crow will probably recover.
