4 THE HAWAIIAN STAR, WEDNESDAY, MAY 3, 1893.-S1X PAGES. KALUA ONCE MORE. Rev. Sereno E. Bishop Writes About His Character. Editor Star: 1 desire to cuter in behalf of my esteemed friend and former pupil, Mr. Kalua, a demur to the apparent implication in a letter to the Star, that he is eccentric or natu rally unreliable. It is true that his course has been a singular one; I have longed watched it with deep and anxi ous interest. The key to his apparent ly erratic course is a simple one. lie exhibits two very different characters during his periods of imtemperance and during those of abstinence from the drink-habit, which is with him as fatal to character as it is with most of his race. It is my confident hope that his noble Christian manhood has now as serted itself for good and finally When free from his evil bonds, Mr. Kalua has pursued a wise and consistent course as an earnest Hawaiian patriot, and a true leader of his race. When ever on the other hand, he has relapsed under the sway of his enemy, his polit ical course has faithfully followed his moral decline. One could always tell with certainty whether Kalua was drinking or not, by the fact whether he ran with the Palace crowd, or with the Reform party. I want no better guaranty that tie is now living a manly and sober life, than the fact that he is found nobly battling against the corrupt monarchy, and for annexation No man feels more keenly than does my friend himself, how ruinously se ducing has been the organized cor ruption of the Royal Court upon all who came into intimate relations with it. une ot my deepest grievances against Liliuokalani was the manner in which several years ago the Princess employed her very great personal fascinations to seduce Kalua from his independent stand in the Legislature, and to lead him to confer with the King, an act which was followed by a considerable period of intemperate living, as well as of political tergivers ation, probably the darkest part of Ka- lua's record. Every wise friend of tht Hawaiian people will thank God when that destroying Royal influence shall come to an end. In opposing the monarchy, Mr. Kalua is doing noble battle for the lives of himself and of his people, who have been miserably wasting away under the poisonous forces of intemperance, impurity, and superstition, whose chief center of prop- agation has been the Palace. S. E. Bishop. A RED-HAIRED CHINAMAN. Being Off-Colored He is Abhorred by His Brethren. Chinatown boasts of a great rarity in a full-blooded Chinese, who is probably the only red-headed one on the face of the earth. And what is more, the Chinese has a light complexion and blue eves, and he is cross-eyed. Mish Go, as is the freak's name, was born in China, of Chinese parents, about thirty years ago, and came to San Francisco about a year ago. He is shunned and disliked by the great maioritv of his countrymen. "Sheep-eyed" is one of the nick names applied to him, because, from a Chinese standpoint, his eyes resemble those of a sheep more than those of a human being. Mish Go lives in one of the dens of Spofford alley, and is ' never seen in close association with other denizens of Chinatown, excepting when he goes to certain stores to dis pose of cheap trinkets, by which means he acquires a living. The reason of the Chinese being held in such disfavor was explained by Wong Woh, a fortune teller, who daily occupies a portion of the sidewalk on Washington street, above Dupont. "Very many years ago," he said, "there was another red-headed China man in China. He lived there so long ago that no one now living had ever seen him. Chew Put was his name and he was tall and fair of complexion. From some cause not pleasing in the eyes of one of the numerous gods Chew Fut was known of all over North China, where he lived and grew to manhood. "One day it was disclosed to a few of the faithful that this particular Chinese with the red hair must die. Hut it was not explained by the deity why. It is not known to this day why the order was disobeyed, for no steps were taken to end the life of Chew Fut, and so a fearful vengeance was wreaked on the people. A terrible earthquake occurred, and the waters of the sea overflowed the land, engulfing thous ands of inhabitants, who were carried out to sea by the receding waters and drowned. "The red haired Chinese was lost at the same time, and, it is believed, was transported direct to the infernal re gions, where he must always suffer fearful torture." Examiner. San Diego to Mexico. Editor Star : An article in the Advertiser entitled "From San Diego to Mexico" relates many good things about San Diego County, but the au thor's poetic license leads him into ex travagances, such as "avenue of the palms,'' "orange garden of the gods," the "Eden of all the earthly If dens," etc. The native of the sage brush will hard ly tumble to the meaning of Mr. Miller's fine lines. Mr. Miller says only half enough about the Kimball Brothers, the promoters of nearly every import ant enterprise in San Diego County. They not only planted the orchard which Mr. Miller describes so well, but they built a mighty reservoir for irrigat ing their and everybody else's land; they improved their land lots with houses and well graded streets; con structed a railroad; built a carriage fact ory and olive oil works; supported with a great liberality the San Diego Hoard of Trade; organized a bank, and, in fact, made their work the paradigm of Yankee pluck and energy among the early slow coachers of Southern Cali fornia.

Are we to be, or not to be, a part of the Great Republic, seems to be the burning ques tion of the day, and one we had rather leave to wiser heads than ours to solve; and while great statesmen are wrestling with this momentous question, we want to have a little "poiv- 7V07V " with you on some other subjects, that concern you as well as ourselves. Has it not occurred to you that you've been wearing that old hat long enough ! In these progressive times if you intend to be "in it," you've got to keep pace with fashion. No matter how otherwise well dressed you may be, unless your hat is the correct thine: you bear a shabby appearance. We have already laid in stock of the Latest Hats of the coming Spring and Summer styles, in hard felts, soft felts and straws, and including a line of the celebrated "Fidora" Hats, at present all the rage in the United States. There is therefore, no necessity for you to hang on any longer to that old Tile that bears such strong resembhi r . ,our latller wc nice to the hat ore. Believing that business will be better in the near future, we have not hesitated to keep our stock full in all lines. Take collars for instance : We have almost everything you could wish for. 1 f you wear a stand ing collar, just come in and take a look at our " Narenta" or "Ardonia ;" or if you prefer a turn down collar, try the "Winnipeg" or "Goswell;" we have have lots of others, and can t tail to suit you. Lurls in abundance, links or otherwise. Neckwear in profusion, scarfs Windsors 4-in -hands, and a special lot of " Boys' Bows;" suspenders in great variety, leather and woven ends, good strong, serviceable goods. We might go on indefinitely, but space is valuable, and to enumerate everything we carry would fill a pretty fair sized Book. If there is anything you want in the men's line, just drop in and see us, and if we can't suit you, we don't be lieve any one can. If you should want a pair of nice shoes, let us try a hand at fittinc vou. Did it ever occur to you How much a man is like his shoes; For instance, both a soul may lose. Both have been tanned; Both are made tight by Cobblers; Both get left and right; Both need a mate to be complete; And both are made to go on feet. They both need healing; oft are sold, And both in time will turn to mould. With shoes the last is first; with men The first shall be the last; and when The shoes wear out, they're mended new; When men wear out, they're men dead too. They both are trod upon, and both Will tread on others nothing loth. Both have their ties, and both incline When polished, in the world to shine; And both peg out. Now would you choose To be a man, or be his shoes. cncrstl .abbcrtiocmciitc. H. F. WICHMAN FORT STREET. Jeweler AND Optician Everything in the Jewelry and Silverware line.
