Everybody's Friend."

Sterling Coynes three act comedy, the Widow
Hunt or "Everybody's FRIEND as it is some
times called, the latter being the better title we
think, was admirably rendered by our amateurs
last Tuesday and repeated again by special request
last Saturday.
There is great deal of delicate humor in such
a character Felix Featherly and Mr.. Jacob
Brown thoroughly appreciated 1t. Felix is a diff
cult character to play and very frequently sunk to
that of a walking gentleman. Mr.. j. Brown gave
1t life and humOr Mr.. G. Brown (no relation TO the
other Brown by the way is always excellent. His
de Boots proved as was anticipated, finished
piece of comedy acting. The tone alternately blus
tering and subservient, the present, my dear!''
the scene i'll which de Boots goaded by jealousy
summons up courage to bring in the pistols the
wall paper scene, were all admirably rendered.
Mr.. L. W. Purys was Icebrook. 1t is difficult
character to play but received justice at his hands
and when the opportunity came in the third act
Mr.. Puryis was quite equal to the occasion.
And now the ladies. What can be said but that
they looked charming, played with brilliancy and
intelligence, and were beautifully dressed. Miss
Moore was Mrs. Feathery, and bore the whims of
her hair trained husband in a very effective man
ner. Mrs. Haley was the fascinating widow Swan
down and a very effective Mrs. Swandown she
made. The bye play between herself and de Boots,
in the Garden Scene was capital. Il is defhCult,
too, to carry of love scene well in such rOllick-
ing comedy as this, but even this was managed
well and told" as the saying is. Mrs. Strong re-
presented Mrs. de Boots. She kept her Major in
order, and caused end of amusement, the gallant
nlllIalnan was lamp Wnen tnat terrlnc
major" recalled him TO the fact that he "did not
waltz although he would dearly have liked to.
Miss Clark played the part of Fanny and Mr.. Won
Holt that of the Trap, both doing justice to the
few lines they had to say, thing not always done
in minor parts.
On both occasions an excellent house greeted the
performers The performance showed what excel
lent amateur talent we have. 1t is to be hoped
that we shall not be so long without something of
a similar character. The performances were for
the benefit of the Library whose funds have been
considerably augmented

Ont of tho Dnnths.

News received from supposable good authority
in San Francisco, by the last steamer, conveyed
the intelligence that the DAKOTA of which Captain
Charles H. Tierney, for 50 long in the employ of
the Pacific Navigation Company of this city is the
ingtOn Territory, and that all hands were lost.
Captain Tierney is a much respected member of
several benevolent secret organizations in this
city, and the members were clinging to the hope
that the news was incorrect. In some way, arrange
ments have been made to obtain further definite
information regarding the reported dreadful di-
saster. 1t Is pleasure to be enabled to state that
the GAZETTE is in position to dispel the cloud of
doubt by the production of the following item,
which appeared in the S. +. Cal on November
22nd, the day before the Alameda left that port
SAN Francisco, Nov. 22.-Ihe schooner Dakota,
Captain G. II. Tierney, supposed TO have been lost
in the recent gales, into port yesterday. She
sailed from Port Gamble, Washington Territory,
on October 18th. Fifty miles off Cape Flattery a
southeast gale struck her and shifted her deckload
of lumber, and sent her main and mizzen masts
overheard. When the schooner righted four feet
of water was found in her hold. On November
lst the ship Ddslug Ware spoke the Dakota and
offered assistance, which was declined During
November ID, Sd and 4th, she encountered severe
southeast gales, and as she could not put back to
Puget Sound, she steered for this port. Up to the
18th inst. she met with heavy gales and seas the
wind then changed to northeast, and increased in
violence she lost her foregaf, and had to run be-
fore the wind. The barometer during the gale fell
from 29.9 to 2S.s. No injury is reported to the
crew.

The Friend.

This publication enters upon the forty fourth
year of its existence, and timely editorial com
ments on the fact. This household word in Homo
lulu commenced Its career In 1872 II ran smoothly
on till February, 1851, when publication ceased
and was resumed again in May, 1852 Comparing
the present publication with that of 1912 shows
how much the country and conditions have
changed. There Is much OF interest IN the old vol
umes, there is much that is very interesting in the
present issue. The old tree Is sound, its heart Is
strong and it is putting forth good fruit.
Among the manly sayings of the present number
is the following;
Are there two sets of laws in Hawaii, one for
Chinese Sabbath breakers, and another for boat
clubs merchants the favored few and white men
generally! Are our laws local and not general
operative III Nuuanu and Maunakea streets, but

erallyI Is there some official TetZel who sell
or grant, indulgences to law breakers: Who Is the
greatest offender, the ignorant, heather cOOlie,
the ntelligentseducated, civilized gentleman when
they each trample on the laws?'
In this number will also be found thoughtful
article upon College education, hitting the blot to
nicely. There is a wholesouled view of Thanks
giving Day, and careful article upon the Advent
Season, evidently written by practiced pen.

may be cleaned at almost any time of the day, as
the whole machine is complete in itself and inter
feres no more with traffic than the passing of any
other large vehicle. Mr.. Hale says the streets Of
Manchester are the cleauest IN the world. They
are now swept, as are those in most American
cities, by machinery. and the sweepnGs are gather

Composition the Lie of Trade.

The.steamer ST. PdH, which has been advertised
10 leave San Francisco on Saturday last, Dec. 9th,
for this port is iron vessel of S8S register,
and was built IN 1875 by Messrs. Cramp & Sons of
Philadelphia for the Alaska Fur Company. In
1889, she made four trips between San Francisco
and Honolulu, and those who took pas Sage on her
at that time, do not speak well of her speed
commodations, compared with the alameda, as a
substitute for which she has been placed on this
route. She is better adapted for the coastng trade
than for ocean mail service, for which this Gov
ernment pays 5000 per month. She will be due
here the 18th or 18th inst, if she has toeraby
fair weather. In this connection it is we'll to dra v
attention TO the fact that the ST. Paul is advertised
to leave this port the 18th inst, only one dag
ahead of the splendid steel steamship MaJrt-
r0ra'' from the Colonies. 1t would seem as if the

The statement is made on good authority that
a we'll known member of local secret organizations
has embezzled the funds OF one benevolent or

and has managed to obtain nearly $780, under
false pretences, from brother members of another

The papers here have mentioned a series of dis
turbances which took place on Hotel street and
BeretanIa street, within a stone throw of the Bell
Tower on the evening of the 4th inst. The stories
contained an ideal abduction, ana the abusing of
married woman by her husband. Investigation
by the police under instructions from Deputy Day
ton, resulted in establishing the identity of one
person as the cause of both disturbances, and on
the 9TH inst, Charles Brewster, an individual hay
ing unsayory reputation, was arrested and tried
for assault and battery on his wife The testimony
of two witnesses for the prosecution was merely
cumulative, they had heard the wrangling. The
woman testified, as per Court record that her hus
