SLEW BROTHERS
TO GET THRONE
; Theebaw, Indian King, Ruled
Dy Terror,
I WOMAN'S EVIL INFLUENCE
Completely Governing Htm, 8h« W»e
Instigator of Machination* Which Lod
to Hi* Enthronement—-Reign ijf Tor
ror Followed Until Ruta* Waa Ixlled
by Brltleh.
The recent death of Theebaw, once
an Indian kin.?, recalls memories of the
horrors of his rule *.nd the overthrow
of his dynasty and the Britlah annex
ation of upper Burmah thirty-one years
ago, says the London Times. He was
one of the junior members of & large
family of sons and daughters of King
Mindoon, who ruled Ava despotically
hut on the whole prosperously for
twenty-six years. After undergoing
the usual novitiate In a Buddhist mon
astery he became, with three of his
brothers, a pupil of the late Dr. J. E.
Marks, who built a school and church
at Mandalay almost entirely at the
cost of the king. Dr. Marks often tes
tified to the engaging and kindly quali
ties and bookish tastes of the youth,
who soon afterward under the Influ
ence of a woman allowed terrible atroc
ities to be committed.
Rival* Clubbed to Doath,
When King Mludoon was dying, at
the close of 1S7S, the queen of the Mid
dle palace determined to assure succes
sion to Theebaw, who was In love with
her daughter, Supaya-Lat, aud his
weakness of character insured for her
great power. He gained by various
stratagems the support of ministers,
aud all possible rivals to the throne,
who were summoned to visit the dying
king, were Imprisoned. Theebaw was
declared the successor, and within five
months of his succession he had his
captlvo brothers and sisters clubbed to
deuth. They were thrown—some of
them—when still only stunned by the
blows of the executioners Into & huge
trench, which was covered with earth
and afterward trampled level by ele
phants.
Supaya-Lat ousted her eldest sister
from the position of chief queen and
by virtue of stronger will completely
dominated the king. The rapacity of
the court sot the example to the whole
hierarchy of officials; extreme disorder
prevailed throughout the country; dip
lomatic relations with Great Britain
were broken off, and ultimately, at the
end of 1885, there was issued an ulti
matum, which was contemptuously
treated by the king and his ministers.
Theebaw Surrender*.
An expedition was sent, and it swift
ly fulfilled Its purpose. Nov. 28, 1885,
King Theebaw abjectly surrendered to
the late (Jeneral Harry Prendergast
Iu vain he pleaded for thre* months,
then three weeks, then for three days
in which to prepare for exile; the gen
eral, recognizing that delay of a single
moment might be dangerous, gave him
and his chief queens, by whom he w&s
accompanied, only ten minutes to get
ready to depart In a waiting steamer.
He was afterward sent direct to Rat
naglri, on the Kolkau coast of western
India. There the exiled king spent the
last thirty years of his life In slothful
contentment and ease. Queen Supaya
Lat retained her hold upon him until
her death, and the last of his queei'B
died some four and a half years ago.

When you were laid—
That Is, supposing fowls Chinese
Like those of western pedigrees,
Call spade a spade.
In fancy I can see a bird
With queer back hair and legs absurd
Triumphant strut.
The while some little plgtalled chit
Seeks for the treasure (were you It?)
About the hut.
I fear to chip your outer shell.
Although so far as I can tell
It looks all right »

And I confess a prejudice
In appetite.

Captain W. O. Kohl mister, of tlie
schooner Harold Blekum, who is J
here with Mrs. Kohlmister and. the
ewv, enroute to Juneau, following
the wreck at Kodiak.. I
In describing the wreck, accord
ing to the Seward Gateway, the cap
tain* said that h« Has caught on a
lee shore in heavy weather but man
aged to hold his schooner off the
beach through two days and nights
in s'^ite of the loss of both anchors.
"Then when we were clear of
the coast, the wind died out com
pletely and in spite of all- we could
do, lading power of any kind, we
drifted oai the reef off Eagle har
bor.
"Seeing that the vessel was
doomed I put the Ship's boat over- 1
side and we left her at midnight, I
March 3, and rowed ashore, and
sent three of the crew over the
nortjige, intending to remain until
assistance came, but I wag so cold
that, on Monday morning Mrs. Kohl
mister who did not have sufficient
clothing suggested that we follow
the sailors, so we made tha trio {
overland in eight hours to the fish
ing station.
"The vessel was lost because we
lacked auxiliary power."
The wrecked schooner was built
34 years ago.
Captain Kohlmister was quarter
master aboard the Admiral Evans
several years ago when two of the
crew committed piracy by killing
Captain Wood and attempting to
run her ashore. Kohlmister was
at the wheel at tha time and help
ed to block the attempt.
Mrs. Kohlmister is in good health |
'u spit,® of tha hardships she has
experienced.
The others of the crew are: 1st |
mat >. W. Caravan; sailors — R..
Idndwall, H. Nanta, T. C. Williams,
C. Gyllen, K. Groth and J. Hqet- j

that when a man has some

Many business enterprises that should be

No matter what it may be if it is reason
