delight her audience. The play is on the
romantic order, and, while containing
nothing strikingly new in the way of Il
plot, it serves as a fine medium for the
display of the stars talents. Miss En-
mett's songs and dances were warmly
received and rapturously encored. An

Cook in 177S. He was eaten perhaps.
For a long time cannibalisln reigned.
Now things are different
The group numbers eight inhabited
islands with an area of 6,74O square
miles, or 500 square miles larger than
the combined area of Connecticut and
Rhode Island. The five principal
islands are Hawaii, from which the
group is named. with an area OF 4,2lO
square miles; Maui, 760 square miles;
Oahu, 600 square miles; Kauai, $50

A Frisco Mans Daily Consumption
of Various Brands without Getting
Drunk.
The thirstiest man has been found in
San Francisco. He's a mystery, but
he's not drunkard. This frequenter
of we'll known bohemian resort on
Bush street, is tall, fine-looking man.
about thirty-five years of age, fully
six feet three inches in height. str:light
as an arrow, and remarkably well
built. His light, clear complexion does
not indicate the heavy drinker, but, ac-
cording to Il correspondent Of the Pitts
burg Dispatch, his capacity for beer is
enormous. He always enters the sa- !
/ loon at the same hour every evening,
and on his appearance all eyes are
| turned on him, though he stands at the
bar seeming to avoid everybbdy's gaze
and speaking to no one, leaving as soon
as he is through. The walters never
ask THE Mystery what he will have.
The barkeeper picks up three beer
glasses Of ordinary size and draws one
Schlitz, one Weiss and one Culmbach
He places them on the bar in front of
the customer, turns the handles toward
him, rings up 80 cents on the cash reg
! lister, and stands, towel in hand, ready
! to polish off the bar when his patron
leaves. THE Mystery always picks
up the Weiss first and slowly drinks
a third Of it, stopping occasionally to
! look through the glass SO that he will
| not take more than the desired quaint
ty. He places it OH the bar and drinks
q third Of the Culmback in the same

Schlitz and drinks the same quantity
of it. He pours half of the remaining
Culmbach into his Weiss and the other
half into his Schlitz. He drinks half
Of each, pours the contents Of both
glasses into one, slashes it around a
| time o: two to mix It well. and then
very slowly drains the glass with the
deepest satisfaction. He catches his
breath with 4 prolonged "AAh-h!'' gives
! his well trained Elllstalhe wipe with
a fine silk handkerchief. picks up his
change and strides rapidly out When
! he disappears through the swinging
doors the buzz of conversation is re-
/ sumed. Sometimes he crosses to the
California hotel, and again he walks
down Kearney street q few blocks, but
he always returns soon and drinks
three more glasses in exactly the same
manner and with the same satisfaction,
never varying the performance in the
slightest detail He repeats the per-
Torrance every few minutes from then
on until exactly midnight, when he
drinks his last three glasses for the
1 night and strides out after his fortieth
glass Of beer with as steady and elastic
step as when he entered the place. The
walters apparently do not know who
or what he is, except that he is a GOOD
customer.
