AMUSEM ENTS.
wAILAcK's-..sHE sroops TO CONQUER. "

Ir any one entertained a doubt to the sagacity
pr Mr.. Lester walack in reproducing standard plays
1t would have been dispelled witnessing the re-
ception accorded last evening by IN overhowing
house to Goldsmith's famous fiveact comedy, 'She
Stoops to Conquer" It was universally agreed
that more handsomely rounded performance of the
kind has been given in New York for many years.
Looking at the cast such q result might naturally
be expected. for it comprises not only some of the
most accomplished actors in tho metropolis. but
those whose names were identified with the
presentation OF the play at Wallacks in
1876 and 1877. Indeed. with the excep-
ton of Mr.. Maurice Barrymore Mr.. C. T.
Murphy Miss Stella Boniface and two or three
of the subordinates, all of them are pre-
served in the programmes OF that period. The
comedy is one that never fails to convey
pleasure to a refined audience. It's humor is
strong. its dialogue beautiful, and the plot ana
situations effective. Ieken all IN all, 1t is one or
the masterpieces in the English language. 1t was
refused by Colman and discarded by Garrick, yet
after more than century. its repetition is still en-
joyed with zest and it's freshness appreciated as
greatly as if the play not embamed in the men,
ories OF fve generations. So old comedy does
not need criticism. The acting last night with
two minor exceptions, was admirable. The
character of Charles NARROW affords an opportunity
to Mr.. Walack for the display of the qualities in
which he specially excels and it is safe to say that
he personated the contrast between the BASH
full lover and the boldness of the society
gentleman with greater excellence. Every point was
made to tell The Hardcaste of Mr.. John Gilbert
was likewise of those nice bits of art that we
only recall in old pictures-an impersonation that
carried the mind back among associations that
have been chiefly made familiar by old
books. The same degree of excellence must
hon OF the jovial Tony Lumpkin. an embodiment of
rollicking humor that has not often been equalled
by him the stage. The scenes between Nine.
Ponsi and himself and between Mr. Wallack and Miss
Ada Dyas Miss Hardcaste) gems of acting, and
1t times convulsed the audience with merrment.
Mr.. Shannon as Sir Charles NARROW had little to do
say but what he said showed the conscientious
study that is always characteristic OF this actor The
Diggory Of Mr.. E. NJ Holland was likewise notably
good that he deserved the praise that was
bestowed. The scenery and appointments were in
keeping with the well known taste that prevails
Wallack's, ard the management has reason to con-
gratulate itself the successful Inauguration Of the
proposed series OF standard and popular plays.

Another Verdict of Murder.

Last week We had occasion TO record q convic-
tion in o murder case, wherein the parties were a
Chinaman and a Hawaiian. On Wednesday last,
in the Supreme Court, a sailor named John Brown,
said to be a French Canadian, was by the verdict of
a foreign jury, declared to be guilty OF MURDER
there are no degrees in this crime under the Ha-
waiian laws. but the jury are at liberty to bring in
a verdict of either murder, as indicted, or man
slaughter in one of three degrees. The facts in
this case were that on the morning Of June LIST, on
board the American ship Moro Castle, in the port
of Honolulu. John Brown, q seaman belonging to
that ship, stabbed a ~shipmatc named John Fred
erick, causing his death within a few hours there
after. The trial came on at the regular term OF
the Supreme Court for July. in this city. and
Brown was convicted. The practice OF our
Supreme Court is to defer sentence of criminal
until theend of the term. Brown was defended by
Mr.. r. f. Bickerton of the Hawaiian Bar, who was
assigned by the Court, Brown having no means
himself TO pay for legal aid.

The Waikiki Murder.

We print the following as sent to us, and give all
parties concerned the benefit of its publication:
Mr.. EDIToR:-By your last issue, as we'll as by
the Ha,oaiian Gazette of this date, there seems to be
an impression that it is a strange thing, that the
Chinaman Asam should be acquitted Of the murder
Of Akels, q Chinaman, at Waikiki, whilst the wo-
man KeliihanaiWi was convicted on q trial before q
jury at Honolulu. And it ia said in both papers
that the woman was convicted upon the same state
Of facts of which Asam was acquitted at Wailuku.
This is a mistake, for the Attorney General was en-
abled to use the woman's confession against herself.
and was not willing to put her on the stand as
against Asam, because there is always an implied
promise Of non-prosecution as respects the person
who is used as estates evidence And inasmuch
as there was a strong impression of Waikiki that
the woman's husband was not free from implication
in the murder, and this impression was based on the
evidence presented before The coroners' jury and the
committing magistrate. there was a strong probable
ity that she had framed her confession 50 as TO free
her husband and implicate the Chinaman, whilst she
herself would get free by turning the estates evil
dence." Under these circumstances the Attorney
General thought that by putting her on the stand,
The jury would disbelieve her as regards the China
man, and thus be would fail to punish anybody.
And again, the circumstances were not similar,
for the only testimony against the Chinaman was
the woman's statement, whilst for the woman herself
she had sought to turn away suspicion from herself
on the morning after the murder, by endeavoring to
induce two different persons to state falsely that she
slept at their houses, and the Chinaman was enabled
to otter testimony for himself regarding hs employ
ment on the afternoon before the murder; and like
wise, that at an early hour in the night, before 10
o'clock, he was at Waikapu, apparently unexcited,
and went to bed before 10 O'Clock, and slept calmly.
So you will perceive that the evidence at the trial
was by no means even similar, for the woman's con-
fession and all her acts the day before, as well as her
acts the morning after the murder, told with fatal
effect against herself, and there was no testimony
that could be adduced in her favor; whilst as her
confession could not be used against Asam, and
nothing could be shown in his conduct to implicate
him, there was no evidence before the jury at Wal
luku on which a conviction could be based.
