THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C. saTuRDL- » JUNE 8, 1889-TWELVE PAGES. OLUBS AND BOOMERANGS. —_——o_— FIGHTING STICKS AND MACES. SAVAGES AND THEIR OUDGELS Weapons Used in Primitive Warfare Shown in the Museum. SOW THE BOOMFRANG Is MADE AND THROWN— RESEMBLANCE BETWEEN AUSTRALIAN THROWING STICKS AND ANCIENT CLUBS—THE CLUBS OF POLYNESIANS AND AMERICAN INDIANS. a OOKING at the col- lection of war clubs and fighting sticks in the National museum, merely for the purpose of judging of their effectiveness as weap- ons, one might find it diffieult to decide be- tween the short, sturdy Trish shillelah, intend- ed to be gyrated in one and and brought down with a whack on some one’s pate, or the huge, two-handed bulbous knotted murderous club of a Polynesian savage. There is another way of looking at the clubs. They nearly all bear traces in their carvings and decorations of the culture of the people that produced them. War clubs have gone out of practical use among many savage people who have acquired possession of fire- arms. They are still preserved, however, and sometimes those that have been especially effi- eacious in cracking skulls are regarded with veneration by their savage owners as being en- dowed with supernataral power. It was the opinion of Prof. Otis T. Mason, with whom a Star reporter talked about the clubs in the museum, that the mace which is borne aloft by the sergeant-at-arms of tbe House of Representatives as an emblem of au- thority at times when the spirit of misrule is abroad is an idealized war club—a survival of the weapon with which our ancestors far back in the dim past settled aPy War Cups Soxeron fo ‘their disputes. The baton of the field marshal and the scepter of the king. are also, he thought, direct descendants of the decorated club wielded by a brawny chieftain, and set up times when he was not wielding it asan emblem of his power and authority. Canes, too, may have been derived from the primitive bludgeon, and be a connecting link between the youthful dandy of the day and his rough skin-clad ancestor of many cycles ago. Some canes even now are made with loaded heads to be used as weapons. Single-stick practice or combat with short cudgels is still kept up in England, and the shillelah, celebrated in Irish story and song, still holds its own in the Emerald Isle. There are two or three cases in the museum filled with war clubs from the South Sea Is- lands. They take Y forms. From the Fiji, Samoa and other islands many of them are made in the form of paddles. They are manu- factured of hard wood, highly polished, and elaborately carved or etched. The savage sits down wii is club or stick and works at it with a shark's tooth untél he has covered it with delicate tracery designs. Sometimes the han- dies and a greater part of the len; of the club are wound or covered with closely- woven cloth or other fabrics. One great club from Fiji shows no attempt at orna- ment. It is five or six feet long and so heavy that it might have served as Hercules’ club. No man of ordinary strength could wield it effectively. It is the king of clubs. » Another from New Zealand, made entirely of hard wood, has a head fashioned upon it in the form of an axe-head, Some of the clubs are about PARQUESAS IE“TTONGA 5. the size and of almost exactly the form of a Dase-ball bat. A slender club with a rounded head, from New Guinea, looks very much like an iron war club of medieval Arabian origin. ‘The Saracens and Arabians, in the days of the Crusaders. bore these iron wands or clubs, to which various names were given. One in the Museum known as the Morning Star has a top ornamented like epter. Iron clubs, maces, or hammers were carried by knights and men- atarms in Europe in the days when heavy @rmor was worn. They were often made ex- ceedingly heavy, so as to crack or break pomemen, 9 the armor plates. Some warriors car- ried hammers, with which they assaulted the armor of an adversary. After they had broken toon shell they proceeded to slaughter him at isure. ‘Sa.ceon 8 In the collection of clubs in the museum are several Irish shilielahs of blackthorn, still ef- fectively used now in some parts of Ireland. ‘These shillelahs are short, thick, and heavy. Australia isa land of clubs, but the most noted and characteristic is the boomerang, the curved throwing stick that —— such won- derful gyrations when it is discharged in the air by a skilled boomerang thrower. The Aus- savages have, besides, many forms of clubs. The natives a the river Yarra use a heavy and strong club of box or red gum wood. ‘They call the club, which has a bulbous end, a Fy Any It is a weapon used in single combat, each man being armed with a waddy anda shield. There is an unwritten law observed in has been traced between various forms of clubs used among Australians, and those on ancient jan mona- ments, and supposed to have been the ordinary weapons of some of the barbaric allies of the old tians. The waddy, the curved stick orclub, and even the boomerang, appear to have had their counterparts among the weap- ons of Africans of old, and weapons somewhat similar are found 7 —— of the upper Nile region gen e of the Australian savages make a leaf-shaped club or stick, which is thrown at the enemy at close sRLUIND rt ‘SAMOA ew ZERAND Samoa rs. The boomerang or wonguin is a wing-stick and the one that best nown. The name be- come incorporated into the English language, to describe the act of one intended to injure another, but which reacts upon one’s self. Itisa bent or curved stick, generally about 20 inches long and 2%¢ inches wide, the curve being sharp, one side being flat and the other slightly convex. They are made differently, every boomerang thrower having his own peculiar notions about little matters just as every yacht-builder has. The weight varies from four to eleven ounces. They are made from limbs of the iron bark tree, or the she-oaks and sometimes from the roots of eucalyptus and even the bark of gum trees. They are fashioned with much care and tested frequently until the maker secures just the right curve to suit him. The boomerang is classed as a weapon of war be- cause it is occasionally used in battle, but its most common use is in killing birds and small animals, The labor expended in the manu- facture of a boomerang makes one of them too expensive a projectile to be thrown lightly away in a scrimmage. The boomerang has been introduced in this country. A boomerar club has been formed in Milwaukee and its founder, Mr. H. Eggers, has succeeded not ) , MEW ineLAND r YEW NEW IRELAND, 5 — only in producing effective boomer- angs. but in acquiring the skill of throwing one so as to be able to make it fol- low a predetermined curve, falling finally to the ground at his own feet. Two boomer- angs made by Mr. Eggers are deposited in the national museum, where they lie side by side with boomerangs and war clubs from Anstralia. Mr. Eggers’ boomerangs consist of two pieces finely jointed at the curve in the center. A boomerang thrower holds the weapon in his hand as a reaper does asickle. He notes care- fully the wind, and his preliminary movements are deliberate. Having satisfied himself about the wind, he gives his wrist a twist to see that the muscles are in play, and, drawing back his arm, hurls the boomerang from him. When it leaves his hand it is perpendicular, but it turns, with its flat surface toward the earth, and skims along with a gyrating movement, makes & sweep, and at length flutters down at the feet of the thrower. A skillful hand at the boom- erang can make it hit an object behind him, and put it through many strange motions, The Australians have other sticks, both straight and curved, which they throw, and which are not intended to return, If the boomerang did not come to them from the Indian peninsulaand the ancient E; lean it may be that in throwing curved eA ‘a the Australian Sy ge accidentally made discov- eries which led to the development of the boomerang. It has been thought, however, that they got the suggestion from the leaf of the white gum tree, Shich takes a form in mas turity something like a little boomerang, and when it falls from the tree circles about ina wonderful way, Aclub or stick something like a boomerang is used by the Moqui and other Indians of the southwest in hunting rabbits. They are called rabbit clubs, and are curved flat clubs, with a handle, which are thrown or “shied” in the air,soastosail.

Among the southwestern Indians a club was used which had much the shape of an ordinary potato-masher, and it was handled in the same Manner as a cook wields a potato-masher. The warrior held it in his hand with the heavy part downward and sought to bring it down upon the head of his adversary. Among the Sioux clubs were made long and often highly ornamented in the Indian style with rude drawings, feathers and gew-gaws of different kinds, One villuinous looking club in the museum collection has three large knife blades secured in the wood at the heaviest part.

CONEMAUGH. (RESPECTFULLY INSCRIBED To THE SUFFERERS.) “Deep called unto deep” that day—Conemaugh— When by the mountain side, The floods above and floods below Joined on thy swelling tide- And swecping like an avalanche down Upon each dreaming, pleasant town, The whelming waters dealt the blow ‘That laid thy pride and beauty low. The shout upon the battle-fleld, When hostile armies meet; ‘The thunder of the earthquake march, Mufled beneath our feet— Like these the mighty wave that came In giant strength and battle flame, Swift through thy valley which had shone Like Eden ‘neath the morning sun. The leaping deluge of the flood, Like meteor in the air, The wave of fire that swept the wreck Like @ burning fleet afar— Spoiled all the landmarks dear of home, Where loving footsteps used to come, Till all that wealth of love and life, Lay buried in the deadly strife. O, Johnstown—Conemangh—Cambria—all, Sad sisters in that vale Of death’s dark shadow where you sit, To tell the woeful tale— The cry that on that night was heard In pity deep the land has stirred, As if beside that fateful flood Our own for life or death had stood. O, pitiless rain, and cruel flood, That swept remorseless by! O; wrathful flame upon the wreck, So heedless of that cry! And yet, no shout of blasphemy I heard upon that angry sea— Isaw no hand fast clenched in hate In proud defiance of that fate— But hands outstretched in prayer I saw Amid the whirlwind dread, And trust aad hope like angels near, When all beside bad flea,— As when upon that drifting wreck, The mother cast her child—a speck, The little one called back—Will He— Ob, mother, dear—take care of me? In strange, sad ways we may not tell, The noblest spirits go, Through fire, and flood, and martyrdom, And every mortal woe,— But faith and hope and courage high Of noble souls can never die— 'Tis through the baptism of flood and fire ‘They hear the word that calls them higher, See the grand landmark on the page Of sacred history stand— The smitten patriarch, Job, close girt By foes on every hand,— ‘The fire and storm that swept him bare, And left him like the desert drear, Showed stillthe soul inspired with trust ‘That like the palin, sprung from the dust. Oh, yes—ye lonely ones that sit In Conemaugh’ s darkened vale— Look up and see the angels near, We may not solve the mystery deep Of storm and sorrow as they sweep; But this we know, the Christ that died Has crossed before a rougher tide. —J.

A Clerical Contrast in Two Ministers of One Denomination. OSE IS POOR AND HUMBLE, BECAUSE BE HAS SACRIFICED HIMSELF FOR OTHERS; THE OTHER, LOLLS IN LUXURY BECAUSE HE HAS SACRIFICED EVERYTHING FOR HIMSELF—TWO REAL LIVES. Correspondence of TRE Evexrxc Stan. New Yore, June 7. Years ago, when I was a small boy in Syra- cuse, N. ¥., among my playmates were the children of the Rev. Dr. F. 0. D. Huntington, bishop of the Episcopal diocese of central New York, When John 0. 8. Huntington, one of these children, grew to manhood, he studied for the ministry and was eventually ordained minister in the Episcopal church, The young clergyman was a man of winning manners, but quiet and reserved. He had an abundance of natural gifts, a broad education, splendid powers of oratory, and every indication that he would become as famous in the pulpit as his distinguished father. Many young clergymen who were starting on their clerical careers at the same time that John Huntington started on his envied the opportunities that were open to the loved son of a bishop, through whose influence @ pleasant and profitable appointment could be oblained at once and a rapidly advancing career in the church assured for futurity. Bat young John Hun- tington dumbfounded them all by refusing all the advantageous appointments that were of- fered him. He preferred to labor at his sacred calling among the poorest and lowliest of hu- manity in the city of his childhood. He even left his father’s luxurious home that he might live among the despised and the downtrodden for whose salvation he worked. He was so earnest in his zeal that he even dressed in the humblest fashion and cooked his own scant meals in a hovel, that the poor might regard him as one’ of themselves, This last habit finally led him to adopt the simplest mode of life, his fare consisting of little else but bread and water, that he might eliminate from his being all that was gross and sensual. After a successful career as a missionary in Syracuse, the young clergyman came here to New York, where he established himself in the poorest quarter of the notorious Five Points, and continued the missi that he had fixed upon as his career in life; and here he has been ever since, doing good in quarters where, before him, no man of his ability and attainments had dared to penetrate. No monk ever lived the life of an asce- tic more faithfully and more fervently than has Father Huntington, as he is now called, With # self-denial that seems almost incredible in this age he has renounced family ties, home, love, marriage, position, riches, fame, all that the world holds most dear, to be- come a ministrant, as often temporal as spirit- ual, to the very scum of the carts population, He has saved ‘thousands of souls from perdi- tion, no doubt, aud he has saved thousands of bodies from perdition by his influence over the rough element, among whom he is respected and beloved and obeyed above all other powers. If cvera man lived up to the letter of the teachings of the Master in all respects that man is the Rev. 5, 0. 8. Huntington, * As a contrast to the truly Christian career of Father Huntington, I am reminded of the career of another New York clergyman of the Episcopal church, whose name is often seen in public print, and who is regarded as one of the most fashionable and prominent divines of the city, Ihave known him, too, for many years, having first made his acquaintance at a college where we both were students, From the time this fellow began his studies for the sacred calling until the present day he has worked with all the energy of a shrewd political wire- pele for his personal advancement in the pro- evsion he adopted. And he adopted that pro- fession, mind you, not because he felt that he was “culled” to it, but because it seemed to him to offer the greatest returns in the short- est time for the least labor. He went into it as Astor went into trading, as Vanderbilt went into railroading, as Gould went into speculat- ing—for what it would fetch. He was ordained minister at about the same time young Hunt- ington was ordained, and is about the same age. Atcollege he had been aclever student, bright, but wild, and I remember that when he returned to the college town for a visit after he had been ordained, some of his old chums, with whom he spent a rather hila- rious night, reported that “Blanky hadn't changed a blamed bit, if he was a minister.” Well, Blanky pulled wires and got his first charge in a country town not over two hours’ tide from New York, and a very agreeable charge it was. Theré were lots of young peo- ple in the parish, and the rector made himself so fascinating at tennis, at riding and driving, and at the german, that the congregation sim- ply worshiped him. He would smoke a cigar or open a bottle of wine with the rich young fellows whose country homes were in the vicinity; he never looked with horror upon roun ncing or card-playing or any of the petty vices which more conscientious clergy- men frown ar and he made himself so com- pletely solid with the whole community that eretics and atheists and agnostics of all sorts and conditions came flocking into the arms of the church because, as some of them put it, the rector was such a devil of a good minister, And these heretics and agnostics and the rest had money, bless you; and when they came into the church they brought it with them; and they made 8t. Dash the swellest house of wor- ship in miles. They builded it all anew, and enlarged it, and decorated it within and with- ont, and memorial-windowed it, and raised the dear rector’s salary and hited him an assistant, And the bishop of that diocese saw what was being done, and he said to himself,“Blanky is a greatman. I musn’t lose sight of him.” So one day he cigar Blanky rector of a church of considerable Meta lace) in a city just ‘across the river from New York. Blanky told his parish he loved ‘em ever so much, but he felt a call to a more extended sphere of useful- ness (at a salary considerably bigger, with per- quisites), and he went. Then he began to lay ipes to makes himself solid with the bishop. Ine bishop was an Re | tic. Greek-letter fraternity man, although hé had been years out of college. S86 was Blanky. They talked fraterhity, and the bishop was pained to find that Blanky belonged to a fraternity which had iG le been the deadly rival of his own. Blanky was pained, too, because he thought it might estrange the bishop from his interests, After Blanky had thought over the matter a little he made up his clerical mind to break the solemn oath which he had taken when he joined his own fraternity, sever his allegiance to it and join the bishop's fraternity. An oath is a serious matter, of course, but when a minister is looking for achance to get ahead of some other minister even oaths lose their serious aspect, sometimes, Well, Bianky’s scheme worked. He was expelled from his own fra- ternity as his perjury deserved, but he joined the bishop's, and the latter rewarded him by getting him ‘ppointed to deliver the prayer atacertain public occasion some years ago when a vast municipal improvement was opened to the public. At about this time I was a participant with Blanky at a dinner of the New York alumni of the college we had both attended, on which occasion he delivered a prayer which brought down the house. It was couched in verse, was witty and bright, but the very acme of sacri- lege. But it was intended to tickle the younger members of the alumni, and it did, They voted Blanky a good fellow, and at the next general alumni eae ie elect an alumnus trustee of the college Blanky was elected. He = sprung that sacrilegious prayer for nothing. Recently the Rev. Mr. os has become the Rev. Dr. inky, some institution having hon- ored him with the degree of D.D. He has also played his cards with such finesse that he is now the rector of a fashionable church in New York city at a lovely salary, and his name has been mentioned for # vacant western bishopric. He works the newspapers for all the nee he eS and no Javenile actor about to star courts favor newspaper men more as- siduously then he. He has had himself written up once or twice ag a ‘prominent divine,” and certain j ‘in icture has been printed ina: journal as that of one of New York ost distinguished clergymen. +9 Ihave given above pictures of two New York .
