A GHASTLY FIND.
Boys Flaying: Discover a Human Skull
Chickens Peeking- It.
In the rear of the Haynes property,
just east of the fair grounds, some boys
while playing yesterday noticed a queer
shaped object which the chickens were
pecking at, and a closer examination
showed it to be a human skull. They
buried it, and Coroner Eastwood, hear
ing of it, today had it again removed.
It is a small skull, apparently that of
a girl, or small woman. Some hair still
adheres to it, which is of fine texture,
and of a chestnut brown color. Most of
the teeth are missing, but only one
shows any decay, the others having
been loosened since it was buried. A
round hole in the front portion of the
occipital bone near the fissure was most
likely made by a bullet, and is about
the size of a 32-caliber ball. The opin
ion of Dr. Doane was that it might
have lain in the ground twenty years,
and nothing can be proven to the con
trary unless it is cleaned of the dirt with
which it is now covered and the interior
of the skull examined. Nothing is
known of how it came to be in the place
it was found and there is no basis for
any conjecture that it was foul play.

QUEEN LILIUOKALANI'S PLIGHT.
In SearchlnK for Her Late Husband's Rel
atives She Found Another Wire.
Several years ago a Dalmatian sail
or named Jerko Dominis, after in
numerable adventures, hairbreadth es
capes and feats of valor, found his way
to tne Hawaiian islands, wnere he mar
ried Liliuokalani, the daughter of a
native chief, who in due time became
queen, making him the partaker of the
honors of royalty. As king he bore the
name of Hermann I. For twenty years,
says the London Telegraph, he gov
erned his subjects satisfactorily, and
toward the end of 1891 he died. His
son, Hermann 11., is only six years old,
and his widow is the regent. Now,
this lady, knowing that her late spouse
was a European, has been making
strenuous endeavors to discover his
relatives, and whenever a ship touched
at the port she always made it a point
to go on board and question the cap
tain as to whether he knew of any
Dominis, of Dalmatia. For a long time
the widowed queen's endeavors to find
King Hermann's relatives were unsuc
cessful, but lately the imperial Aus
trian corvet Fasana touched at the Sand
wich islands and the dowager queen
went on board and asked the admiral
whether he could tell her anything
of the Dominis family, of Dalmatia.
He answered in the negative, but, no
ticing the lady's desire to learn some
thing about them, promised to make in
quiries in the marine department of
the war ministry. The latter was then
'referred to the foreign office, which
published an advertisement calling
upon all the Dominis of Dalmatia to
come forward, whereupon there was a
repetition of what occurred when the
American spiritualistic medium called
for the spirit of Smith. Thousands of
Dominis are said to have reported them
selves, personally or by letter, for the
name is a very common one in those
parts. King Hermann's sister was,
however, discovered among them, as
was also his lawful wife; for it appears
that the late king married in Delmatia
when only a sailor. This woman now
demands that the Hungarian govern
ment should help her to her rights.
She does not seek to become queen of
the Hawaiian islands, but she asks to
be declared the legitimate heir to hpr
husband's property. . Should the Hun
garian government refuse her its help,
the energetic widow is determined to
set out for Honolulu and appeal direct
ly to her successful rival, Queen Lili
uokalani, the widow of her own hus
band. . If the bread tray is suspended say
between two tables, and a lighted lamp
set under it at night, it will keep the
sponge warm, and make it rise by
morninc.
