deavOr to blind the public to the actual

scented him to the king and they two
rode together, the Colonel pointing out
the beauties of the picturesque city

merce rooms the throng was so dense
that our party got split up, although
Capt. Schiller and I were near the
king continually. One little garcon got
in front of the king and said Hes
only a niger anyhow" The king paid
no attention but appeared to be en-
crossed in viewing the wonderful
products of the county of San Diego.
On Tuesday the king accepted an IN
vitation to q magnificent banquet at
the house of the Hon. L. S. Mcclure,
given by the knights Templar. 1 was
invited out of courtesy as being of the
kings household Fourteen of US SAT-
down, the banquet lasting from p m.
to D. m. During the dinner soft
music was played IL an adjoining
room. The conversation was general
and His Majesty appeared in fine fet-
lie. The table was laid for fourteen
but the chamberlain had remained at
the hotel. l did not miss him while
presenting so many ladies and gentle
r en- aud the banquet being served we
marched in to our allotted places. His
Majesty had the head of the table and
IL front of him lay a beautiful f1ower
piece. It was a copy of the Hawaiian
flag, the different cOlors being made of
proper flowers. 1t was made by Miss
Sessions of Oakland. The King said
it was the prettiest flower work he had
ever seen and asked Mr.. Mcclure if
he could have it
After the first course Mrs. Mcclure
came in and sat down opposite her
husband. Sir Knight Conklin remark

king said, Il do remember my brother

ladies' and himself. He is not here

died in San Francisco.) After the

his return. He and the balance of the
party went to the large lodge room
where more than two hundred and fif-
~ members met him and I learned
that they all gathered a fine impress
sion of his conversational powers
On the following day he accepted an
invitation to an excursion to Sweet
water Dam and down to Tia Juana, in
Mexico. When we arrived at the vicin

ity of the dam we had to climb a hill.
There were thousands of people in the
excursion. The king noticed lady
climbing under difficulties and went to
her assistance and helped her over
and down to the dam. We all regis
tered at the office there and walked
upon that grand piece of masonry and
viewed the immense lake sustained by
it as well as the $4,000 acres of olives
and lemons watered from there.
The trains then ran from there to
Tia Juana where the party visited the
Mexican Custom House where they all
posted letters and cards. In the VIII
lege many Mexicans had assembled to
see the King. He remarked to me that
they resenbled our natives very much
and he was of the belief that our
stock had come from there. He pur-
chased canes, blankets, and curios
made of clay and feathers, ETC..
On the following day he left San
Diego telling me that he was enamor-
ed of the place and that he would like
to have a residence there and would
surely return and complete his visit as
he felt that the climate was beneficial
for his complaint He showed many
courtesies to the people and willingly
gave his autograph to all who asked
it and l must say that he created
very favorable impression upon all
who were brought into contact with
him. Kalakaua had the faculty of be-
ing able to converse intelHgently up
on almost any subject and was good
company.

tiANDsoME HATS ARE MERE TRASH.

It is not generally known that many
OF the handsomest summer hats worn
by the ladies of this country are liter
aIly made from wood shaving" The
finest examples of this industry are
produced in Japan, these wooden rib
bons appearing in many forms, some
of which have almost the delicacy and
sheen of satin, while others resemble
soft and dainty crepes. Only about 10
per cent of the chip is exported in the
form of wood ribbons, the remainder
being worked into what is commercial
" known as chi-braid, and which is
employed in the same manner as straw
braid that is, for hats, basketry and
other fancy articles.
The exports in a single year from
Japan have amounted to over $3.50, 900,
the United States being a large buyer.
The trade is steadily increasing, with
a constantly-grow demand, as the
industry is comparatively new. While
willow is considerably used in Ger
many. the Japanese manufacturers en-
pIoy European poplar, spruce, Chinese
cypress, cherry, buckeye, paulonia,
ia se hickory and some other kinds of
wood The chip is produced by plan
ing with special tools, the shavings be-
ing about Is inches long, and one and
a half in width. The leading forms
are known as crepe, thin crepe, strip
ed crepe, scaly crepe, crimped crepe,
network crepe, relief figures, pushed,
undulated. etc. The product takes dyes
readily, and is so thin and flexible that
daintiest effects in millinery goods can
be secured.
There are about 120 establishments in
Japan at present engaged in this in
dustry, several of the largest sending
superb exhibits to the st. Louis EX-
position. where they received several
gold medals. The Japanese Govern
ment exhibit also contained quite
pretty collection of ladies' hats, made
up in light and elegant forms some of
which were trimmed with flowers, also
made of chips in imitation of wild
flowers of Japan.
The annual production Of chip-braid
amounts to 100000 bundles, each
bundle containing about 10 yards,
worth in Tokyo about % cents per
bundle. The exports are largely to the
United States and Great Britain,
though the chip ribbons or shavings
also go to Italy and France and to

We left the train AS we passed down
the long depot platform the guard
presented arms and arranged them
selves into lines on either side and at
the rear of the party until We took
carriages. They escorted US to and on
the ferry and took the rapid transit
to the hotel and arrived there before
us There they formed ranks and kept
the approach clear until we went up
the broad steps.
About midway His Majesty turned
about, with his hat in his hand, and
in nice little speech thanked the SOL
diers for their kindness. From the
landing he again turned to them when
with one accord they gave three rous-
irg cheers for the king to which he
saluted.

rooms which L had engaged for him
I asked as a favor that I might pre-
sent the officers of the company. He
consented, telling me that while in San
Diego any arrangements I should make
for him would be agreeable.
I brought the officers in and pre-
scented them and they conversed with

we chatted Col. Macfarlane, the cham

all the boys into the sample room and
treated them to wine and cigars. The
next day the morning papers were
full of accounts of the king of the
Hawaiian Islands and of his urbanity.
During his stay in San Diego every
moment of his time was taken up in
receiving and returning inequalities.
All seemed to unite to do honor to
the king, even the guests at the hotel
gave an informal amateur play in the
opera house attached after which the
chairs were removed and dancing and
refreshments We're kept up until a late
hour.
On the first day there was a great
reception to the public and, assisted by
Mayor Gum, I had the honor OF pre-
senting an immense number of ladies
and gentlemen. In the afternoon the
Chamber of Commerce extended ar in

drive over the city and to view the

During Kalakaua's last visit to Cali
fornia he made quite an itineracy
through the State. In the southern
counties his approach was heralded
by the press generally, some of them
assuring their readers that his dusky
majesty would arrive at certain
hour, and every station along the line
was crowded with farmers and others
to see a live king.
1 was Hawaiian consul in San Diego
at that time and received a wire from
the chamberlain as to the hour of ar
rival of the train which I duly com
municated to the press. l remember
it was on a Sunday afternoon. During
the day the captain of the local COM
pany of the N. G. c. called at the house
and asked my opinion of his bringing
the company out as an escort for the
king. I assured him that the king
would appreciate the honor but that I
could not ask for it.
When the hour of arrival of the
train bearing His Majesty and suite
drew nigh I went down to the depot
and was surprised to note the inn
mense throngs of all classes who
crowded the streets bound on a similar
mission. The company Of the n. G. c.
had engaged the services of the City
Guard Band the whole making quite
martial array.
Arrived at the depot the company
formed ranks the captain coming to
me and saying If 1 had any wishes in
The matter that he would carry them
out. 1 merely said that if he would
prevent any one from boarding the
train and after We took carriages for
the Coronado Hotel if he would keep
the crowd at a respectful distance on
the street and ferry that it would be
all that would be necessary.
L went On the car and met the king
who seemed much pleased to meet me.
While we chatted, looking over my
shoulder he saw man coming in the
door and said who is that? | said
that is contrary to orders and went
to the man and told him he must
leave the car and could call on the
king in the morning. I then told the
