A Quaint Tract.

A quaint tract entitled Woe to
Drrnkards,' being a sermon by
Samuel Waid, preacher, of Ipswich,
was printed in London in 1927. The
preacher based his remarks upon
Proverbs xiii, 1882 t'Look not thou
upon the wine when it is red etc.).
and illustrated his arguments by ex.
amples from various parts OF the
kingdom of Gods judgments on
drunkards." Among other instances
he quotes the following one from
Tenby: "At Tenby. IN Pembroke

full manner, and yet the occasion and
circumstances of his fall so ridiculous

CASES INVOLVING
NAuVOO SCHOOL
Was Expected to Come up For Hear
ing Yesterday, But continu-
ance Granted on Account
of Sickness.
STORY OF THE CASE
Quincy Herald Reports Case and Gives
a Brief But Interesting His
tory Of Events Leading
up to It.

The cases involving st. Mary's Acad-
envy at Nauvoo. which is Of great in
terest to Keokuk people, and which
was to have come up for hearing yes
terday at the Federal court in Quincy
has been continued, Speaking Of the
cases the Herald OF that city says:
On top of this came the announce
ment that the cases involving st.
Mary's academy at Nauvoo were to be
continued until next term Of court at
Springfield The cases were set down
for hearing today, when they were up
in the court in Springfield few
weeks ago, the reason offered for
continuance at that time being that
the mother superior who had signed
the notes in question was seriously
ILL., Now the continuance is granted
on the ground that the president OF
New York trust company, which
holds large amount of the paper
was dangerously i'll, and could not
possibly appear in court at present.
AS has been stated, the suits grow
out of the efforts Of Patrick ]. Kier-
an, promoter and fnancier, who 81
cured funds in large amounts fer
trough st. Mary's academy at
VOC. The sisters had long maintained
a school in the city made famous by
the occupancy of the Mormons under
the leadership of Joseph Smith and
his brother. Hiram, both of whoN
met death at the hands of a mob in
Carthage in 1874 Shortly after the
removal Of the Latter Day Saints, ST.
Mary's academy was founded, and has
maintained Irecarious existence
Some two years ago Kieran appeared
on the scene, acting as the representa-.
tive of the National Fidelity Fund
ing association, and induced the
head of the school to give notes for
large sums, which were negotiated
by him. Large sums of money were
turned over to the sisters, and their
school buildings were enlarged and
improved, and fine new quarters
were erected. All was modernized
and there was every prospect for a
great HOIh " DC uOue. AfilDIlS OtuBE
projects to be undertaken was an in
terurban railroad, which would put
Nauvoo in communication with ether
cities. All went we'll for a time
but later developments showed that
the academy was involved for large
sums and the excitement 1t created
was nation wide in its deviations
Kieran had the utmost confidence
not only Of the sisters at st. Mary's,
but of church dignitaries and others
throughout the United States. He
has constantly affirmed that there was
no dishonest intent in his manipula.
tions, and has steadily averred
that he would be able to straighten
ont all his obligations He has spent
considerable time at Nauvoo since
the announcement and has done con
siderable additional work with refer
ence to the construction of the inter
urban road. which he says viii be
built in due time Kieran says that
the panic OF two years ago, with the
attendant money stringency made him
unable to negotiate his securities.

niece of kapiolani. the island princess
or female chief, who did more than
any other person to bring the natives
to Christianity
1t was kapiolani who dared to pluck
the sacred berries which grow at the
brink Of the crater of Kilauea. The
natives had been taught that a person
who picked those berries would surely
die most horrible death because of
the supposed sacrilege directed
against the goddess Pele. Kapiolani
rot only gathered the sacred berries,
risking her life in securing them. but
she led picturesque procession of
her retainers. some 200 in number.
down to the lake of fire below the rim
OF the crater. With opened HYMN
book. singing praises to the God of
the new Christian cult, she defied pele
and threw the sacred berries into the
burning lake. OF course nothing hap
pened. and the supposed sacrilege was
not punished in any way.
Pele as an awe inspiring deity was
compelled to go out of business and
