The Mtustrel Parade.
The parade of the local minstrel troupe
today attracted a large crowd, everybody
turning out to see them. The band had
on brand new uniforms, of the Zouave
style, and the troupe wore linen dusters
ad straw hats, the latter banded with
yellow and white, and in addition each
carried a cane with a bunch of yellow
and white ribbons tied to it. After tak
ing in Second street, the band played
several pieces at the corner of Washing
ton and Second and succeeded in block
ing the sidewalks. There were quite a
number of left-handea canes in the lot,
which added oddity to the appearance of
the boys. It is safe to Eay that the affair
will be the most succesful of any ever
given here, for everybody !b going.

ISLANDS OF THE SUNDOWN SEAS.
A Description that Shows IIotv I'aradlse
Appears to Youth.
Honolulu, H. I., Feb. 12, 1897.
My Deae Mb. Cradlebaugh :
You will remember my promise to
write to you. I have not forgotten, and
if you were in this dreamland of rest you
would require no excuse or explanation
from me. This is the country of "Ma
hoppa," of putting off till tomorrow
everything, that should be done today,
and that is why this letter has not gone
to you before.
Anyone who would come to Hawaii
and then attempt to give a description
of its charms, must be born of a courage
such as makes "fools rush in where an
gels fear to tread." The soft southern
sky and tourquoise blue of the ocean
cannot be reproduced in words, and I
doubt if the painter's brush, though a
master hand wield it, can give anything
like the impression made upon the trav
eler as he sails to Hawaiian shores. But
there are some things I may tell you
about, such as the hospitality of the peo
ple, their customs, and the scenes and
incidents which every etranger en
counters. Our trip over was mixed in its pleas
ures and discomforts, The first part of
the journey, from Portland to Victoria,
and then up the Gulf of Georgia a hun
dred miles or more was delightful ; but
the pleasure was temporarily at an end
when we passed Cape Flattery and en
countered old ocean in an angry mood.
It is a whole lot pleasanter to talk of a
etorm at sea than to experience one, and
a little goeB a surprisingly long ways.
For five days we were in the midst of a
gale, blowing with slight intermission.
The decks were covered with water con
tinually, and no one dared venture be
yond the cabin door. As the steamer
forged southward the skies cleared, the
waters rested, and life on the ocean
changed from misery to delight. The
balmy air of the tropics acted as the fin
est kind of a restorative, aud soon the
passengers were all on deck declaring
they had never seen water so blue nor
Bky so crystal clear.
On leaving Victoria the captain pre
dicted that we would see the islands at
daylight on Saturday, and so we did.
Just as the sun raised his head over the
horizon we were on deck to catch a
glimpse of the "Paradise of the Pacific."
The first land visible was the leper isl
and oi Mcloki, wiiere the most miserable
of God's creatures await their lingering
death. Then the island of Oabu, on
which Honolulu is situated, loomed up
through the growlug light, and soon we
could see the ships in the harbor, aad
the houses protruding from the dense
tropical foliage, which is present every
where to charm the eye.
Honolulu is a most beautiful city,
with a splendid harbor. The shipping
of the world pays her homage. The
business part of the city presents a varied
appearance, bandeome three-story bricks
touching Chinese hovels. It is cosmo
politan in the extreme, The residence
streets are bordered by beautiful homes,
Fishing Taekle,
Steel Ranges.

indicative of wealth and culture, while
the private grounds aro like public
parks in our land.
There are many places of interest to
visit near the city. The extinct crater
of Punchbowl is but a short distance
away, and an hour's ride takeB you to
the Pali, where u beautiful valley ends
on the edge of a precipitous cliff hun
dreds of feet high. Tradition says that
early in this century King Kamehemelia,
the conqueror of the islands, struggled
with an invading host in this Nuunnu
valley, and beating them back to the
Pali, from which the high mountains
made escape impossible, pushed them
over the cliff, till, as the natives say,
"they were all 'pou' " it was all over
with them, and their bones lay many
years as witnesses to Kamehemeha's
triumph,
No one can come to Hawaii without
taking a great fancy to the natives col
lectively at least. They are kind-hearted,
hospitable and courteous in a man
ner that showB it comes from the heart
and is more than mere form. Everyone
of them is a musician, and it is charming
to sit and listen to their plaintive melo
diesmostly love songs. A native's
house is always open to a stranger and
when a feast, or "luau," is going on, no
invitation is needed.
We were especially fortunate in being
here when a large "luau" was in pro
gress, and we were given an opportunity
to see many interesting sights. This
"luau" was at the home of Ii. W.' Wil
cox, an Hawaiian who bad been edu
cated in Italy at the expense of King
Kalakaua, and who afterwards took a
prominent part in the revolution of 1895,
which attempted to overthrow the ex
isting government. For this he was
convicted of treason, but was afterward
pardoued. I am glad ho was, else we
would not have teen this "luau." Large
tables were spread upon the lawn, cov
ered with the various kinds of Hawaiian
dishes raw fish (taro-poi; and the dif
ferent, delicacies which delight an Ha
waiian, as well as an American, when
he learns to like them. Nor were
the Hula dances lacking. It was a scene
long to be remembered, and tills luau is
said to be the biggest given here in many
years.
Notwithstanding all reports to the con
trary, the government of the Hawaiian
republic is on a settled basis. I never
saw a place where there was greater con
fidence in thoee who are administering
public affairs. With us in America we
elect a man to office and then proceed to
tell what a rascal he is. Here it is dif
ferent. There is a feeling of trust in
President Dole and his councillors which
is pleasing to see. Of course the adher
ents of the old monarchy are prono to
misrepresent the deeds of their oppo
nents and not concede them proper mo
tives, but I doubt if there Is a govern
went anywhere which is more wisely
conducted than that of Hawaii, PresU
dent Dole has the respect of everyone,
even the monarchists, Most of them at
least concede his honesty. He is a fine
appearing man, and looks as if he would

The Mount Lebanon Shakers have in
vented u grout many valuable things.
They were the first to imiko brooms by
machinery; the first to put up seods in
litttle packages ; the first to manufacture
cut nulls,
Now they are out with a method of cur
ing dyspepsia by resting the stomach.
Their remedy is known us the Shaker
Digestive Cordiul, It supplies food in
au artificially digested form and at the
same timo aids the digestion of other
foods in tho stomach. In other words,
by the use of the Shaker Digestive Cor
dial, a dyspeptic virtually gets along
without tho use of his stomuch until it
is restored to its natural strength unil
vigor. A single 10 cent bottle will oft
tiiiies give'marked relief, Get u bottle
from your druggist and try it,
Laxol Is the best medicine for chil
dren. Doctors recommend it in place of
