MICRONEsIAN KING
IN SAN FRANCISCO

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6.-Tobn
Wesley IS not, as his name might i'm.
ply, relative or descendant of the IL
lustrious founder of Methodism. bur
he is religious man, although he was
not always such. In fact, John Wesle.
is a reformed cannibal from the Mi,
cronesian group of the South Sea Is
lands, who, under missionary care and
guidance, has himself become a shin
ing light and sweet SAVIOR in the
nostrils of the godlv.
In the old days he did not bear his
famous patronymic The missionaries
endowed him with that distinction which
has prospered with him greatly in a
spiritual way.
John Wesley in his unregenerate DAYS
wore a cannibal ear with rings in if.
which IS not exactly the same thing as
a caulifiower ear such as Sharkey. the
fighting sailorman, sports.
Now, when he took service on the
missionary ship Vine. it was represented
to him that this organ in its then CON
dition was scarcely a Christian append
age. The missionaries. of course, did
not insist on the conversion of his ear
to Christian models, but John Wesley
being himself a man of nice feeling
realized that he was not in accord with
the fashions.
Before he had seen the light John
Wesley, being the son of a great chief,
had spent much time and pains in the
making of his ears. Noblesse oblig,
IN the South Seas as well as on land
where you do not have your neighbor
for a boiled dinner He slit the outer
lobe of his ears and hung weights to the
end of the strip so that it gradually
grew 1onger-perhaps couple of inches
making handsome loon, which the
islanders regard as a mark of high
degree
Now when John Wesley saw the error
if his ways he decided he would have
new ears as part of the new man. That
is to say, he would restore that organ
to its pristine beauty so far as the
resources of surgery might effect that
purpose. Accordingly, on his arrival
IN this city he sought DIR. E. R. Bryant
of 4o6 Suffer street and requested thai
his ears be put in the fashion
Il simply sliced off the skin of the
hanging strip" said DR.. Bryant yes
raw Then I stuck them together. 1t
made pretty good normal ear after
the restoration"
Wesley is at present on board the
steamer Agate, in the Oakland estuary,
in company with James Towsie, also
native of the islands. The men were
two of a party of eight who reached
here as the crew of the missionary
supply steamer Vine, the American crew
having deserted at Kusail. The native
crew was obtained by the Rev. H. Mel
vile Tenny district secretary of the
board of foreign missions of the Con-
gregational Church. He solenly prom
ised to the chief of the island that the
crew would be brought back. Six of
them were sent back last week, and
these two will be returned on German
steamer to the Marshall Islands, and
from there will regain their home in
a small boat
Wesley's ears have healed and only
the stitches remain to show that the
operation was performed. Wesley
speaks no English, but by signs shows
that he is highl~ tickled that his ears
are now a la Americaine
