NATIVE HAVVAIIANS TO ENTERTAIN

Honolulu Turns Out in Force To Greet Sailor Lads from The American Vessels. (CALL IT A "HOOKUPU." PLANNED TO GIVE SAILORS THE SAME TREATMENT AND WELCOME FORMERLY ACCORDED ROYALTY. Honolulu, T.H.., June 27 The bluefjackets of the great American Fleet (are to- be accorded a welcome by the ;' native Hawailans such as no one has received at their hands In recent years. It will be through an institution known as a "hookupu" (pronounced "ho-o-koo-poo," accent on the next to (the last syllable) and means "the bearing of gifts," and was an honor generally accorded to none but royal pereonages, or others who by some act lad won the gratitude of the nation. The consummation of this hookupu, which Is already well under way in preparation, Is likely to be rather 6tartllng to our sailor boys, and something which none of them will ever forget. Before It 13 over every man in the fleet will probably find himself overwhelmed with a tmrden of fruit and other things Hawaiian In bewildering profusion. The whole Territory, including every district of every island of the group is to have a part m the great demonstration, and will furnish its quota of "gifts" in accordance with Its ability. ' Like all Hawaiian customs the hookupu is one which is soon to drop back into the realm of memory, if not of things forgotten. It was an institution, however, than which there was never anything more characteristic of the absolute generosity and hospitality of a noble, if primitive race. It consisted in the bringing as gifts to the person whom it was desired to honor, all manner of things according to the ability or the giver, but of the best that he had. In olden days when the King or other per'eon of high rank paid a ,visit in a distant part of the Islands, he was certain to be showered with immense amounts of practically everything the country produced. Everybody brought something, and none was so humble ior so poor that he might not show his respect by some kind of a gift. The result of a big hookupu was the collection of tons on tons of every variety of things known to the simple minded natives, and the gifts would range from great and costly calabashes or highly polished eating bowls of hard and beautiful woods, and representing infinte labor and rains In the making on the part of the humble artisan with his- stone tools, to a few pieces of taro or sugar cane stalks. There would be pigs and chickens and fat poi dogs and fish, and cocoanuts and bananas and other fruit, and tapa cloths of finest quality, and woven mate, and hats, and' fans, and leis, or necklaces of polished seeds or nuts or ehells or rare feathers. All of these gifts would be brought to some appointed place and there deposited on the ground, and it was no iuncommon thing for several acres of i space to be required to accommodate the entire amount. Of course the 'recipient of such a collection of stuff could not possibly use it all himself, end In turn was usually as generous In his distributions as were the original donors. The last hookupu of consequence In which a stranger was honored, took place in Honolulu In 1802; the recipient being Admiral Brown, of the United States navy who had just arrived bringing with him tho body of Hawaii's king, Kalakaua, who had died while on a visit to the United States. The affair took place on one of the largest wharves on the waterfront, which had been cleared for the occasion, and the crowd which sought to show their regard for the American officer, formed a line four blocks long and simply overwhelmed the object of their attentions with every variety of product of hand or Boil. , The announcement of the coming of the American Fleet, and the formation of committees to prepare for entertaining the fifteen or twenty thousand men. quickly brought the Hawaiians to the front with a proposition that they be allowed to furnish some characteristic Hawaiian entertainment, with the result that the hookupu was decided upon. The Hawaiians will carry out the plans along the lines of their own ideas, and it will be distinctively Hawaiian in every way. The Inter-Island Steam and Navigation company has offered to bring all the materials contributed for the affair to Honolulu free of cost, and a systematic collection of fruits, vegetables, and other products is to be made in every part of the Territory. The district magistrate in every district has been appointed chairman of district committees which are being organized, and thus practically every native in the group will have facility for making his donation. Just how the distribution of all the products collected is to be made has not yet been decided upon. It is possible that it will be loaded upon barges and be towed to the different vessels as they lay in the harbor, to be apportioned and distributed by native girls. Another plan is to have the supplies piled in the Capitol grounas m Dooms according to some kind of classification, and be ditriboted to the sailor boys as they make the round to receive their share of the spoils.

WEALTHY PARENTS SEEK LOST CHILD

Old Story, the Plot of Which Is More Strange Than Modern Fiction. BOY LEFT YEARS AGO. FATHER MADE FORTUNE IN GOLD FIELD AND RETURNS TO WIFE VIGOROUS SEARCH FOR MISSING SON. Wilkesbarre, Pa., June 27. Deteo tives are searching the coal regions for traces of a runaway boy known as Paul Jones, whose parents once poor, have become rich.

He has not been heard of since. Seventeen years ago the husband disappeared. It was reported he was murdered. The wife, almost penniless placed her child in an orphan asylum. and was never able to better her circumstances sufficiently to take care of him herself. A short time ago the missing husband reappeared. He had been shanghaied and taken on a long voyage, during which he was struck on the head and so badly Injured that he lost all memory of his former life. He drifted to the West, made a fortune in the Colorado and Nevada gold fields, and a year ago was again seriously injured by a biow on the head. This, curiously enough, restored recollection of his past life. As soon as he recovered he came East, found his wife and now they are searching for the boy. HAGERSTOWN. IND.

A TTJEKfS FT LEGEND; War the Hack Married Mas Gat ta the Mosque First. Some years ago, when General Tewfik Hussein was the Turkish minister at Washington, he objected to the curious questions the newspaper interviewers asked him about the hnrem. One interviewer, however, told the representative of the sublime porte a funny story about Brigham Young and bis many wives, and it induced the minister to reciprocate. "There is a Turkish legend," he said, "to the effect that if a man praya seven consecutive mornings alone in the mosque for good luck it will come. Near St. Sophia mosque, Constantinople, a poor man lived who tried to carry out the injunction; but, when he kneeled, to his chagrin he always saw another man who had arrived first. The fourth morning he could restrain himself no longer and cried out: 'What Is the secret of your getting to the mosque first? I get up early and lose no time.' The other man asked, 'How many wives have you?' When he answered 'One,' the fortunate man said: 'You can never get to the mosque earlier than I, for I have four wives. When I wake up one brings me my clothes, another gets my shoes, a third prepares my bath, and, the fourth cooks breakfast. The result Is I lose no time. Now, my friend, go at once and marry three other wives, and you will know the secret of my arriving first at the mosque. "The poor Turk followed the advice, and very soon he knew why the man with four wives got to the mosque first he stayed there in preference to staying at home." Leslie's Weekly. NAPOLEON'SACCOUNT BOOK Same Entries Made Daring Bis Kzile at St. Heleaa. There was recently sold In London the last book of accounts of Napoluia at St Helena, from 1818 to 1821. The expenses are classified by month and were kept by Fierron, the ex-emperor's maitre d'hotel, with entries by Montbolon. k There are many corrections, in pencil by the august exile himself, for he verified all the accounts and changed English money, where it was used, into francs. Some of the entries are highly interesting. Thus, on Aug. 15, 1819, the fete of the emperor, here is one by Montholon: "Artificial flowers, 5. Extraordinary expenses, it 5a" Napoleon's 'resources at St. Helena were very modest, but bis tradesmen, as regarded their prices, never forgot that he was an emperor though an exiled one. Ameng other occupations to while away the time that hung so heavily on his hands. Napoleon went in for gardening, and among the entries are found: "Four watering cans, 1 8a.; 2-pairs of pruners, 3; 2 axes, 4 10s." prices which look as if the exile was simply regarded as a subject for fleecing. "For mending the emperor's bed" 2 is charged. Toward' the end of his life Napoleon's nourishment consisted almost entirely of chickens, pigeons, and eggs, and there are numerous entries for medicines. In March, 1821, for instance, thirty bottles of sirup, one case of prunes, two cases of Burgundy plums; in April, ten bottles of sirup, eight dozen oranges, eight doz -aons. London Globe. CONSCIENTIOUS ROGUES. The Bie; and Formidable Sinners Are Gray of Sool, Sot Black. No paradox is it, but a demonstrable fact, that in a highly articulate society the gravest harms are inflicted not by the worst men, but by those with virtues enough to boost them into some coign of vantage. The boss who sells out the town and delivers the poor over to filth, disease and the powers that prey owes his chance t his engaging good fellowship and big heartedness. Some of the most dazzling careers of fraud have behind them loag and reassuring records of probity, which have served to bait the trap of villainy. Not that these decoy virtues are counterfeit. They are, in fact, so genuine that often the stalwart sinner perseveres in the virtue that has lifted him into the high places he abuses. The legislator conscientiously returns the boodle when he finds he cannot "deliver the goods. The boss stands by his friends to his own hurt. The lobbying lawyer is faithful to his client The corrupting corporation president is loyal to his stockholders. The bough ten editor never quite overcomes his craft instinct to print "all the new 3 there is." In a word, the big and formidable sinners are gray of soul, but sot black, so that chastisement according to their character rather t&ao. according to their deeds lets them off far too easily. E. A.

MARINE BAND MUST NOT ACCEPT MONEY U. S. Musical Organization Is Prohibited from Competing With Civilians.

Washington, June 27. The United States Marine Band has long been a bone of contention with the musical unions in that it has been permitted to compete with the musicians who make their living by their art Now, however, this contention has been removed under a ruling by the solicitor for the Navy Department, who cites the act passed at the last session of Congress, "That military bands, or the members thereof, shall not receive money for furnishing music in competition with civilian bands." This, of course, applies with equal force to army and navy bands other Than the Marine Band. Thinks It Saved his Life. Lester M. Nelson, of Naples, Maine, says in a recent letter: "I have used Dr. King's New Discovery many years, for coughs and colds, and I think it saved my life. I have found it a reliable remedy for throat and lung complaints, and would no more be without a bottle than I would be without food." For nearly forty years New Discovery has stood at the head of throat and lung remedies. As a preventive of pneumonia, and healer of weak lungs it has no equal. Sold under guarantee at A. G.
