for the last book that had been put into the
hands of canvassers, so he had a fair pros
pect for quiet day. He was musing on
life, and trying to solve that great problem,
wherein he was doing most foolish thing,
for life is a riddle which will solve itself if
you wait long enough. The solution can be
hastened somewhat by late suppers and
whisky but it will come to all, sooner or
later, without these or any other aids. Wise
as Abou was, it never occurred to him that
if there be future he would know it in
time, and if there should not be one the
matter should not bother him much. In
dwelling on this subject the summit of
Abou's physical structure was not horizon

THE RODANET ROBBERY.

A Different Five Hundred Dollar Bill
Recovered from That Reported
Mrs. Rodanet Says This One was
Also Taken.
Following up a clue gained from or
concerning the two boys arrested for
robbery OF Mrs. Wery's-the Hallway
House = Captain Larsen traced
third lad to Moanalua. This young
fellow had picked up $500 bank note
on Nuuanu avenue, but had sold it to
man for one dollar. The third boy APP
peared to be innocent in the whole
matter.
Captain Larsen was, however, able to
gain possession OF the note. 1t is en-
grayed all but the number, that being
put in with . pen and red ink, and it
reads 'No. 1918. United States Insti-
tute Bank, Euston, Penna., will pay to
bearer on demand, in school funds, Five
Hundred Dollars. Vim. Ijams, Cashier.
W. II. Heen, President and Manager"
There are four ornamental devices on
the face-one being the $500" vignette,
the others figures, respectively, of
Liberty" q railway train crossing
bridge, and ''man at the wheel" The
paper is very thin and green water
mark on the back is indistinct. 1t is
the production OF New York engravers.
Mrs. Rodanet, in making complaint to
the police, only mentioned one $500 bill,
that being Hawaiian Treasury certif-
cate, Of which there are very small
number Of that denomination out. Since
the discovery Of this American note,
however, she states that it was in the
stolen satchel. 4 Chinaman at the Sta
ton on Tuesday evening, overhearing
some talk about the affair, said q native
boy had tried TO sell the same bank note

boys in custody, he did not think either

agreed upon a recommendation. Mr..
W. S. Luce declined to serve on the
jury, he not being voter as the law
required. 1t appears that the fact OF a
non-voter being on the panel of twenty
four voters, from which the jury was
drawn, vitiates the whole proceedings.
The Chief Justice will therefore have to
draw another panel of voters of the

PIANO RECITAL.
A Very Enjoyable Entertainment at the
Opera House.

opera House
There was a medium audience at the
Hawaiian Opera House Thursday eve
ming, on the occasion of the piano re-
cital by Mr.. Felix Ollert. This gentle
man had never before had such an
opportunity of displaying his powers as
a pianist, and he certainly proved him
self skilfully familiar with the piano.
Although he furnished the bulk OF the
entertainment measured by time, yet at
every appearance he wac rewarded with
hearty applause. His playing OF ''Listen
to the Mocking Bird" with variations,
and "Recollections OF Home, probably
on account of the more general famili-
arity with these airs, seemed to have
the highest appreciation of the auditors.
Mr.. Ollert's kind aids on the occasion
did exceedingly well, particularly for
amateur singers. Miss NJ. Lishman was
the first to appear, in "Spring Flowers
exhibiting good talent and very precise
execution. She was even better in the
duet with Mr.. r. More, 81 would that
my love-" and on each occasion was en-
cored. Miss Fredericka Notes first
appearance was in q duet with the same
gentleman-"All's well"-and response
to an encore, "What are the wild waves
saying?" Her fine voice, that has al
ways delighted audiences since her de-
but d little over year ago, was exer-
cised without flaw or a failure even in
the highest notes. In her second en-
trance, with the song, Nightingale"
she produced effects even surprising the
previous efforts. An encore rewarded
her every time. Miss Nolte has estab
lished herself as vocalist OF the first
order on our amateur stage.
Mr.. R. More appeared only in the
numbers above mentioned, and was en-
titled to share of the honors in each
recall therefor. With the exception
that he seemed to have toned his good
baritone down rather fine for the size Of
the hall, he disappointed none OF those
who had long been admirers OF his vocal
ism. In the response to the last recall,
singing the duet with Miss Lishman, he
gave his part Of "Larboard Watch |
Ahoyv' in frstrate style, as did his |
partner likewise, their voices blending |
completely and unsteady.
Besides applause, every singer was |
presented with one or more bouquets, in |
the regulation style of that ceremony as
here observed. That is saying that it |
was enjoyed by the audience,
