Change.

Tho morn was fair and promised true,
A day of sun in summer land;
And love was fond, and love was new,
With all of bliss it could command;
Then, sweet, promised unto you
My love should true and steadfast stand.
The noon sun shone with fervid heat
Upon the land, upon the sea;
And you were by my side, my sweet,
But seemed not quite the same to be,
For you had changed-and it is meet
To oown change had come to me.
The sun sinks in sea Of gold,
Across the prairie reaching wide;
Tho tale of change would withhold,
But cannot from you, sweet, my bride,
You're dearer now thousand fold
To me than in the morning tide.

Son Of a Famous -Actor Killed.

Paul Fechter, son Of the well-known
actor who was once lessee of the Ly-
ceum Theater in London, has just met
his death under exceptionally lament
able circumstances. He was fencing
with his brother-in-law, when the latter,
by an awkward movement, touched the
eye of M. Fechter, and the foil, al
though there was button on its point,
penetrated to the brain. The Inflated
young fellow fell to the ground, bleed
ing profusely, and he never recovered
consciousness. The brother-in-law has
been in state Of such anguish since
the tragic accident that he can hardly
give a coherent account of the affair.
The deceased died much regretted by
all who knew him, for he was promis-
ing young man.-London Telegraph.

Society actresses.

The New York World formulates
these correct views: "Of the many de-
lusions incident to stage life, the most
pernicious and the most absurd is that
such thing exists as society actress
1t is pernicious because it lures young
women to the stage who have not the
slightest real capacity for the work re-
.quired. 1t is absured because social
life is real, the stage life mimic. The
inhabitants Of the world beyond the
footlights are not amenable to 'society's'
laws and recognize only the canons of
art. Society-in a sense just little
broader than fashions founded on
morality. Art does not concern itself
with the morality of it's individual inter-
prefers, and, in the very nature of the
case, it is the stimulation, and not neces-
sarily the possession, Of virtues that
makes the actor. Society, then, can
exercise no possible control over the
stage, unless it should decline to see
any but those actors that have proceeded
from its ranks and to encourage them as
superior beings in spite even Of their
bad acting. There is not single point
of contact between society and the
stage. The one is exclusive. The
other is public. The one is given over
to pleasure. The other is devoted to

Had Sang 1T Too Many Times.

On the stage the prompter is the
safety from forgetfulness; but in the
concert theater lapses take place. Even
great living tenor has been known to
retire in the middle Of song he had
been singing every week for lifetime,
because all memory OF the words he
wanted were gone. Such case of sud
den forgetfulness which took place in
one of the London theaters early in the
present century is described in CHAM
ters' Journal. During the perform
ance, which seems to have been of a
mixed character, the gods in the gallery
called for their favorite song, "The
Spring of Shillalah," though it was not
announced in the bills, and John Henry
tombstone, well-known Irish actor and
vocalist, came forward with alacrity
and good humor to comply with the
wishes of the gods. Accordingly the
music played, but the singer stood
silent and apparently confused. The
symphony was repeated, but the same
silence and confusion on the part OF the
vocalist took place in rather an in
creased degree. The symphony was
performed third time, but all to no
purpose. At length Mr.. Johnstone came
forward to the front of the stage and
thus addressed the audience: Ladies'
and gentlemen, I assure you 1 have
sung this song so often that I forgot the
first line" A roar of laughter greeted
these words, and hundreds Of good-hu-
mored voices began to prompt the
singer, who Immediately gave the song
in good style and gained increased APP
plause.

style. The revolving stage went
around and around, and men, women,
and palanquins came down the raised
aisle through the audience that served
as stage entrance for the artists. There
were funny scenes where a spy under
tea-house floor gets drenched with wa
ter, but finally clutches the end Of the
long-rolled scroll of a letter as it
dropped from the hands of q drunken
reader. Another time the spy appar-
emily starts off in a kago, but at the
first rest puts heavy stone in his
place and draws the curtains. The
bearers trudge off with the burden, ac-
cidentally drop the kago, and after pro-
fuse and humble apologies, draw the
curtains to see why the occupant makes
no sound or protest, and discover the
stone.
The audience was as great study as
the scenes on the stage. and when the
action dragged and two priests OF two
citizens sat alone in a plain
setting and talked unfortunately,
the men, women, children, and
babies in the audience were
most entertaining. Their lunch-boxes
were brought them at noon, the play
beginning at 1880 in the morning; a
second meal was served between and
4 o'clock, and at they We're fortified
for the tragic finale by more boxes of
rice and chop-stick shreds of fish, meat,
and unknown things. Tea-pots and
trays of sweetmeats were going all the
time, and when the curtain was drawn
upon scene there was scurrying OF
walters to the boxes, and all the
children climbed upon the narrow
board aisles and ran about the theater,
romping even on the stage ITSELF The
foreigners in the gallery-boxes ate at
about the same hour, and quite as con-
tinually, and although nothing could
sound more fatiguing than sitting
through ten-hour play none of us
left until the last act was over. Two
elderly Americans, who went to the
play to satisfy young daughters and
nieces. amused the audience by playing
games of chess for the most of the after
noon. One sat with his back to the
stage, and both were lost in studying
the move of king, queen, and pawns,
while the thrilling scenes of the days Of
chivalry were being reproduced at their
elbows.

THE HAWAIIAN BLUE RIBBON
LEAGUE,

The Temperance Society among
the Hawaiians had gala day on
Saturday last. The attention of the
natives was devoted to the Sunday
School exhibition during the fore
noon, but as these exercises neared
the close, the people-men, women
and children-all dressed IN their
best came streaming in to the premi
ses of Queen Emma Hall and rested
under the cool shade of its trees.
By one o'clock over 600 persons had
gathered here and ice cream, ice
cold soda and cakes fresh from the
Pioneer Candy Factory were served
to the eager multitude. AT 2 p.
IN. the Royal Hawaiian Band took
its station and played to the delight
of the people, larger proportion OF
whom were from the outer districts
and WHO had come to the capital to
the anniversaries of the week.
1t was difficult to obtain quiet for
the speech making that followed,
but the Stentorian lungs of Mr.. w.
B. Keanu of Wailuku finally secur-
ed the attention of all the audience,
except the small boys who were too
intent after Horns buns to listen to
even a temperance speech.
Hon. H. S. Townsend followed in
English, his remarks being inter
preted by Hon. II. Waterhouse.
Mr.. L. G.. Gribble then held the at
tention of the listeners in q crisp
speech interpreted by Hon. A. F.
Judd Revs. S. l.. Desha and E..
S. Timoteo, always favortes with n
Hawaiian audience, closed the
speech making and the procession
was formed by the committee who,
distinguished by large blue rosettes,
acted as marshals.
Led by the band and the blue
banner of silk, the procession-con-
sisting first of Sunday school chill
dren, next of women, then of boys
and lastly of men, all four deep, and
at least 800 marched out
of the gate. The line of March was
down Nuuanu street to King, thence
up King to Fort street, and up Fort
to Beretania, thus passing the ma
joritY of the liquor saloons, whose
destructive work running the Ha'
waiians it is the object of this So.
ciety to suppress.
On reaching Queen Emma Hall
again the bang played for some time
longer, and the people gradually
scattered homeward.
The Blue Ribbon League among
the Hawaiians is conducted by q
committee of the Y. NJ. G.. A. OF
Honolulu, who ire these very con-
venent and commodious premises
in the interests of the Hawaiians
and japanese. The few foreign
visitors at the celebration last Satur
day felt much encouraged at the
zeal of Hawaiians in the temperance
cause and at the impulse forward
given to it by this festival.

. A DEMAND FOR JUSTICE.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-Just as our
minds eye perceives the first hope
full glimmer on the horizon of Ha-
waits future, an incident occurs,
which, like a threatening thunder
cloud, shuts out the welcome light.
The man Trainor is dead! Laid
away in an unknown, uncared-for
grave, he has become part of ma
ture's wealth. His hopes and
loves, his virtues and vices, his sor-
rows and joys, all rest with him be-
meath Hawaiian soil.
There is nothing strange about
this common occurrence. A man
dies, friendless and destitute, is
buried-and forgotten.
There would be nothing strange
in his case if we had the mitigating
satisfaction to know that our duty
towards this stranger had been
done. But it was not, and as long
as this criminal negligence is not
branded upon the inhuman wretches
who perpetrated the devilish deed,
which cries loudly for investigation
by an enraged public, whose feel
ings have been lacerated and whose
manhood has been insulted, that
long our national escutcheon will be
besmirched by this blot of cruel
neglect, and when the Recording
Angel shall have entered in his Book
of Doom this barbarous deed, he
will set mark upon the page; and
on the Day of Judgment God will
clear the Court of Heaven before
He opens the detestable record.
Friends, let us remember that
this man who suffered from our
neglect was once cared for by gentle
hands, that hearts kind and true
loved him or may love him still, and
that he is a child Of the same in
heritance which all of us may justly
claim in q civilised community
which is brotherly love. Yet Mercy
has been cheated, Truth belied, and
now one and all of us, demand that
Justice, with all her majesty and
sternness, step to the fore and dea
with these inhuman men, who were
the direct or indirect cause of this
strangers death, as they dealt will
him.
And not until they are brought to
light will the remembrance of Mr.
Trainor's death become bearable tC
our memory, and not until then will
the blush of shame fade from ouI
cheeks, and our eyes sparkle, if moi
with joy, yet with satisfaction in the
knowledge of having done our duty
Sleep thou, o stranger, in peace
and reverently we ask thee to lool
down upon us with Mercy's eye
We ask forgiveness of thee and offel
in return all the amends we cal
make. JOHN f. SMITH,
