Friends is the title of the new play
which has been exciting 30 much inter.
est and which will be produced at the
Los Angeles theater November 9TH, Sth
and 9Th. The play is by Edwin Milton
Royle who also takes one of the prin.
cipsl parts. The young actor-author
has evidently bestowed much deep
thought and ernest study and has shown
dramatist's skill, as we'll as not a little
originality in the construction of his
story and the evolution OF a plot that
is coherent, strong and replete with hu-
man interest.
The young author has fresh, breezy
and vigorous style that makes his comedy
pleasing and his domestic scenes i'm
pressive and he has made strong play.
That which commands the attention
throughout the play is the noble
quality OF friendship displayed by Jack

Slavery in Siam.

Slavery has been abolished in
name, but it can never be abolish
ed in fact, for the slaves have no
means of supporting themselves
outside their masters houses.
Every member Of the Siamese up
per classes can fetter his servants
or throw them into prison without
any kind of trial or permission be-
ing necessary. One morning |
went to call upon one Of the ablest
and most enlightened of the minis
tiers, man who has been to Eu
rope, and who once actually got
into serious trouble for trying to
inaugurate a sort of woman's right
movement in Siam. l made my
way by mistake into part of his
grounds where visitors were not
expected, and l found slave fast
ened down to the ground in an in
genious kind of pillory, in which
he could not move hand or foot,
while another slave tortured him
with severe strokes Of a bamboo
rod at the word of a member Of the
family in order to force him to con-
TESS to some misdeed.- From the
Contemporary Review.

THE SCREW PROPELLER.
Last Conceded to an
Austrian.

In referring to the recent cele-
bration in Austria on the centen-
airy of the birth of Joseph Ressel,
inventor of the screw propeller,
who died in poverty and neglect
in an inn at Laibach in 1857, the
Shipping World, of London, says ::
''His claim to priority in the in
vention of the screw propeller was
disputed in England and else
where, but seems now to be well
established, the various documen-
tary proofs having just been pub
lished, together with invectives
against his stupid countrymen'
and the 'heartless foreigner who
snatched the honor and glory
from. him, to whom both were legi-
timately due Ressel described his
idea of using the Archimedean
screw for the propulsion of ships
as early as 1912. 1t was not
until 1929, when his former
patents had al lapsed for want
of money to renew them, that he
5uCCccucu III lnICI cSJlIS a lllCotC
merchant named Fontana in his
invention. A small steamer, the
Cidetta, fitted with the first screw,
left Trieste harbor in that year, and
proved manageable in every respect
for the first five minutes, when un-
fortunately, one of the pipes burst.
This was enough for the Trieste
authorities to forbid any further
experiments of the kind, and the
inventor had to continue as an en-
ployee of the forestry department
of the government on a salary of
$40 year. That his great achieve
ment should have been unrecog-
nized and unrewarded during his
lifetime is, perhaps, the best of all
reasons why the present opportu-
nifty should be taken to do honor
to his name, and to perpetuate his
memory in an effective manner"

THE CONTRACTOR IS CONFIDENT
No Steamers VIII be Employ ed-The
samson Posts VIII Lift Right
Hundred Tons.
He WILL FLOAT HER.

DO you think you'll raise herr"
was one of the many questions put
by inquisitive people to Captain
Arthur Mcdowell, the plucky con-
tractor for the floating of the steam
ship Miowera. eyes, sir; she is
going to come off that reef this
morning." was McDowelPs conf
dent reply. "When you get up you'll
see the Miowera afoat. 1t may
take me two tides to lift the steamer
but am going to attempt to float
her at one," continued the con-
tractor. When asked whether or
not he was going to have steamers
to tow off the Miowera, Mcdowell
answered in the negative, adding
that when the Miowera is raised,
he would use the steamers winches
to heave on the anchor chains. This
method he believed would work as
well as towing steamers, and will
be far less expensive.
About five hundred tons of water
ballast will be pumped out of the
vessel before 4 o'clock this morn
ing. Mcdowell has at present a
gang of twenty-six men working on
the steamer.
The last of the eight samson
posts was put in position alongside
the Miowera yesterday afternoon.
Everything needed for the grand
pull this morning was completed
before sunset last evening. High
tide large occurs at 5 20 o'clock
this morning, and at that time the
lift of the Miowera, by means of
the eight huge samson posts will
be made and she will be foated
into deep water if possible.
The posts are capable of lifting
800 tons dead weight, but after
pumping out 500 tons of water
ballast, he believes the actual lift
will be about 600 tons. AS soon
as the vessel makes a headlong
start towards deep water, the
water-tight compartments forward
will be opened, and the vessel will
soon have sufficient water ballast
in her to prevent her capsizing.
Before leaving Mr.. Mcdowell
said: "My trouble is nearly at
an end now, and l am glad of it..
You'll see if it is not"

an Art Critic in the Corporation
Galleries.

Ex-Professor Stevenson cousin
of Robert Louis) was in Glasgow
the other day. Mr.. Stevenson is to
contribute an illustrated essay on
the gallery of Mr.. James Donald,
of Queens terrace, which has the
reputation of containing the best
representation of the modern
French and Dutch schools in the
city. For the same journal Mr..
Stevenson is to illustrate the col
lection of Mr.. Keller, of Dundee.
Mr.. Stevenson, who has forsaken
painting for literature, is one of the
ablest opponents of the impression
lists. His contributions on art have
long been a feature in the Satur-
day Review; and the critics pro-
nounce his article on Corot in the

The councils did the proper thing
yesterday afternoon when they re-
fused to take action in the applica-
ton of the Pacific Mail and Occi-
dental and Oriental lines upon re-
quest for certain privileges specified
elsewhere. 1t is the general belief
that an understanding exists be-
tween the Pacific Mail and the
Oceanic companies on the points in
question and, until the matter is
cleared up, the government is per-
fectly right in withholding any
favors, so long as the travelling and
commercial public are discrimi-
mated against. The game now
being played by the steamship
companies is an old one; but in
the case Of Hawaii the evil
is not without its cure. Whenever
the Pacific Mail or the Oceanic line
feel disposed to enter a combina-
ton to cinch Hawaii they should
be informed at once that this coun-
try is able to get along without
their services until other lines can
be established and new subsidies
granted. The people of these ISL
ands are becoming thoroughly tired
of Mr.. Spreckels' outward buster
and silent combinations, and if the
Provisional government should for
Il moment SO far forget itself as to
give in 10 the outside pressure
brought to bear periodically by
these steamship companies, it
would find the people, who are the
patrons of these lines by necessity,
would soon demand a different
policy. There is no fear that we
will have to go back to sailing
vessels; and if the question comes

The ADVERTISER, with the ma
jority of the good citizens of Homo
lulu, wishes the contractor, Mr..
Mcdowell, every success in his at
tempt to float the Miowera this
morning. He has certainly shown
pluck and enterprise and should
he succeed in anchoring the good
ship at the wharf he will have
earned both his praise and dollars.

to a pinch it had better be fought
out at once. We have capital and
enterprise in Hawaii which could
ably establish a new steamship
line between Honolulu and the
coast, and we believe would be will
ing to do so in case the companies
now combining to monopolize the
freight and passenger traffic should
see fit to order a strike against the
people of Hawaii.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1893.
NOTES AND COMMENTS.

Certainly, we shall call it
" Palace square" until its name is
officially changed. The name
" Palace square" carries no signifi-
canoe with it, Palace square could
retain its name under either a re-
public orr annexation-in either
event it would simply serve as a
reminder that an unworthy mon
archy had passed away.

At Dublin, Ind, the other day, a
man attempted to pump the water
out of a we'll. When he had
pumped out about five feet the
water began to bubble and boil. a
torch was applied, when a loud
explosion took place. In short
time another torch was applied
with the same result, and for a
half dozen more times when a
torch was held over the well loud
report followed.

There's as much difference
in the quality of fence wire as
there is between a poor qua
lily of paints and Hendry's
Ready Mixed. American wire,
the kind usually sold here, is
not as good as the English or
German, for that reason we do
not keep it. We import ours
direct from the manufacturers
in Europe and it has given
perfect satisfaction wherever
we have sold it. Now about
paints! When we conclude to
add to our new lines, it is only
after careful consideration.
If the article happens to be
new to this district we first
investigate and ascertain the
quality first and then the de-
mand; on the other hand if the
article is something already
in the market and the tastes
and needs of the people de-
mand something better COR
respondence or interviews
with the manufacturers give
US the necessary information
as to whether it may be i'm
proved upon Hendry's Ready
Mixed Paint in the result of
a conference. Like other
storekeepers we have sold
mixed Paints since this bust
ness was started. but they were
for carriages, Hendry's Ready
Mixed Paints are for high class
interior or exterior decoration.
The demand for improve
ments in fences resulted in
our obtaining the agency for
Jones Locked Fence and in it
you will find the strongest
and most economical wire
fence in the world. Six cents
piece for wire stays is more
economical than redwood
posts at Is cents and yet the
stays admirably fill the place
of the posts. A mile of this
fence a week is about our
average sale.

1t is true the ADVERTISER re-
ported the fact that the natives at
the merry-go-round had cheered
the National band when they
played the "Star-spangled Ban
ner." 1t is also true that if the
coming hapa-haoles and the foreign
politicians-the latter anti-Ameri-
can by birth-would leave the
natives alone for a few weeks, the
Hawaiians would be cheering the
" Star-spangled Banner" from one
end of the islands to the other.
The attempt of the Bulletin, now
running on credit, to make political
capital out of the matter is worthy
n journal on the losing side.
