Guile and humor, and little light on
the other side of the advance agent
would not be out of place.
"a well-known manager, control
ling attractions representing an out
lay Of 800, 900 a year, was bitterly
compl aiming Of the lack of tirst-class
advance agents. He SAID he would
give 5000 week if he could get a
good one, and went on to say that his
task was well-nigh hOpeless-that all
the good advance agents had now be-
come managers. He enumerated
among the latter George w. Lederer,
John w. Slocum, John II. Russell,
John +. Harley, Frank Mckee,
Ramsey Morris, w. d. Mann, and
Ariel Barney. A little reflection on
the duties and work of the average
advance agent would speedily con-
vince the unthoughtful that he is
about the most important adjunct of
An entire show. Many star to-day
would never have been known, and
many an attraction never have left
New York, had it not been for the
advance agent. 1t is to his knOwi-
edge of the country that the route is
booked; it is to his standing with
local managers that time is obtained;
he is responsible oftentimes to the
printers that advertising matter is
secured; it is to his friendship and
acquaintance with railroad managers
that rates are made; it is 10 his skill
as writer and his honor as a man
that free advertising is given him by
the newspapers in the way of read
general business qualifications of the
advance agent that success for his
company Is due.
VThe advance agent of to-day is,
as rule, a falrly-educated man; a
great many OF them are college grad
yates from the best universities Of
the country. Others owe their edu-
cation to their own strong.

have no place in their composition,
neither can equivOcation nor loose
ness of business methods. Times

stars and attractions would have been

terprise and strict business integrity

agents of to-day book their own time,

own contracts, write their own ads.

recognized fact"

The ROgerenes.


esroused their tenets. but to crafty
his pride, and that he might appear
as the head of peculiar sect, he diff
fered from them in several points.
The madness, immodesty and tumul-
tuous conduct of Rogers and those
who followed him, at this day, is
hardly conceivable. 1t seemed to be
their study and delight to violate the
Sabbath, insult magistrates and min
listers, and to trample on all law and
authority, human and divine. They
would come on the Lords day into
the most public assemblies, nearly
naked, and in the time of public
worship behave in a wild and tumul-
tuous manner, crying outand charging
the most venerable ministers with lies
and false doctrine. They would labor
upon the Lords day, drive rattling
carts by places of public worship, ap-
parently on purpose to disturb Chris
tians and Christian assemblies. They
seemed to take pains to violate the
laws in the presence of officers. that
they might be complained Of and
have an opportunity to insult the
laws, the courts and all civil au-
thority.
A particular instance of their con-
duct on certain occasion when Rog
ers was indicted for a high mis-
demeanor, may serve as specimen of
their spirit and conduct in general.
He mad contrived the matter so as to
be just without the door when he
was called to answer, upon which he
rushed into the court with prodig-
iouss noise. When he reached the
bar he demanded of the court what
their business was with him. The
Indictment was ordered to be read.
To this he pleaded not guilty after a
new mode. AS the clerk read, some
times at the end of sentence and
sometimes at the beginning, he would
cry out, That's cursed lie, and
again, That's devlsn lie: till at
length number Of his followers of
both sexes tuned their pipes and
screamed, rOared, shouted, and
stamped to that degree of noise that
it was impossible to hear .the clerk
read. Rogers professed great sanct-
ity of life, yet he was convicted Of
several gross OtfenSes. He suffered q
long Imprisonment upon a strong sus-
piciOn That he was an accomplish in
burning the meeting house in New
London, and he once sat upon a

he and his followers suffered the

were prosecuted for conscience sake

HOW IT WAS DONE.

Admiral Brown Talks OF the Conditions
the Islands.
INDIANAPOLIs, Feb. 14.-Admiral
Brown, L. 5. N, who is visiting in
this city after his return from Ha-
wall, where he was in command Of
the Pacific squadron, to-day received
about dozen letters from Honolulu,
under date of February lst, two weeks
after the Provisional Government
was established.
He says: These letters serve to
make the whole question of the re.
cent revolution in Hawaii clear to
me, coming as they do from both
Americans and Hawaiians. 1t is evil
dent to my mind that the only people
in Hawaii who oppose annexation to
the United States are Queen Liliuo"
kalani, her Ministers, the royal FAM
lily, two members of the last Cabinet
and some natives who have lost all
hope of political preferment. The
question of annexation was discussed
in the islands for the last two or three
years. The desire for annexation has
spread rapidly during the last year,
and the only question at all in doubt
was as to how it could be brought
about. The oldest men recognized
that the United States could not well
encourage or support any government
looking toward annexation until
there was a radical change in the
form of government, and while many
plans for bringing about the desired
| change from a constitutional mon
archy were discussed, nothing definite
was agreed upon. At one time it APP
peared as if the Queen would consent
to change the form of government,
provided she and the other members
of the royal family should be literally
pensioned. She was badly advised
when she, on the 18th of January, so
far forgot her oath of office as to re-
sort to unconstitutional methods and
declared that she would promulgate a
| new constitution. | cannot but think
| that her advisers were disloyal to her
| and had in view the conditions which
followed so closely.
"The Queen became a revolutionist,
and had she not been checked and de-
thrOned she would have made herself
absolute, and the commercial inter
ests and all foreign interests would
have been jeopardiZed. The opium
and lottery advocates would, by their
large gains and profits, have had COM
plete control of the islands by reason
| of their money pOwer.n

MIRTH, MUSIC AND MINSTRELSY
Mr.. ST0ECKLE AND HIS WONDER
Full PH0NOGRAPH AGAIN
IN TOWN.
Talking Machine italian Opera
for Ten Cents.

The residents OF Honolulu have had
opportunity in the past, by the enterprise
OF MIR. c. Stoeckle TO become very familiar
with the practical working of the wonder
ful Photograph, and almost every man,
woman and child in the city, has heard
OF the peculiar powers of the Talking
Machine The public concert given by
MIR. Stoeckle in the Y. NJ. c. A. Hall
here, about one year ago, and at which
the Photograph itself, alone, furnished
the speeches, vocal and instrumental
music, etc, etc, to large and delighted
audience, is remembered to this day, and
with both interest and pleasure. After
series OF tours over and around the islands
of Hawaii, Maui and Kauai, where the
wizard instrument has delighted and
! mystified the residents of those districts,
Mr.. Stoeckle again returns to Honolulu
with his wonderful instrument, intending
to remain for a short time. The re-
pertoire OF the Talking Machine" has
| been greatly added to by the importation
OF large number of new records for pro-
duction by the instrument. The new addi-
tons consist of % choice selections from
/ celebrated Italian and other operas, seve-
raj having been vocalized by the famous
| prima donnas Adelina Patti, Clara Louise
Kellogg and Anne Louise Carey; % new
miscellaneous vocal selections OF we'll
| known Eastern vocalists, both comic and
sentimental; 60 new duets, including an
artistic rendering OF the famous Lar
| board Watch" az new instrumental
selections both band, orchestral and solos
from the performances of Gilmores and
other noted bands, celebrated orchestras
and artist soloists; (5) fresh, funny dia-
logqes and Rotations !; all in all making
an olio of mirth, music and ministrelsy
which should please any fancy. There
are also national and local airs in Ger
man, French, Spanish, Italian, Portu-
| guese, Japanese, Chinese and Hawaiian
which have been specially recorded by
Mr.. Stoeckle and are well reproduced by
the Photograph The general public are
thus now again privileged to enjoy them
selves from A. NJ. to P. NJ. in the
company Of the PHoNoGRAPH to the
extent of their own wishes, by calling at
the EXHIBITION ROOMS, THOMAS BLOCK,

Navy Warm For Hawaii.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. g.
The members of the Hawaiian An
nexation Commission spent a quiet
Sunday, and received a few inter
ested callers. Tonight they were
guests at the Army and Navy Club,
where they found the sentiment in
favor of annexation unanimous,
and consequently enjoyed them
selves. Many naval officers now
here have been at Honolulu, and
all are doing their best to help the
Commissioners.

two, at any rate before the close of the
week, the whole matter will be before
the Senate in the shape of a treaty to
be ratified, amended or rejected. In
the present temper of the Senate and
in view of the almost unanimous pub
lie sentiment in favor of annexation
there is little or no doubt that body
will give its assent promptly to the
arrangement concluded by the adj
ministration. 1t may be there will
be some amendments suggested in
the minor and non-essentiaI details,
but broadly speaking there seems to
be no serious opposition to the prin-
ciple of annexation.

Met With Approval.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE Cabinet
to-day considered Stevens act in esta-
blishing protectorate, and discussed
the message that should be sent to
him. In the absence of mail advices
the matter was to some extent left
open, but the steamer that sails to-
morrow will convey to Stevens the
fullest assurances of the Administra-
tion's respect for him, and the infor-
nation that this act has met the
approval of his superiors. There will
also be sent to Commander Wiltse a
warm note of approval from Secretary
Tracy.

TREATY OF ANNEXATION.

1t will Be Sent to tho Senate Probably
To-day.
WASHINGTON, Feb. lit is I'M
derstood tonight that the treaty pro-
viding for the annexation of the Ha-
waiian Islands will be sent to the
Senate tomorrow, although it is not
beyond possibility that it's transmits
sion may be delayed. The treaty, it
is said, is not q very long document,
and covers the subject matter only so
far as necessary to secure the object
sought with as little delay as posi-
BILE.
A well-informed authority says the
treaty contains provision for its
reference to the Provisional Govern
ment of Hawaii after it's ratification
by the United States Senate, to be re-
turned to this country with the ap-
prevail of the Hawaiian Government
within two months after its arrival
in Honolulu. Then, upon the treaty,
if Congress should be in session, or as
soon thereafter as Congress convenes.
the legislation will be had necessary
to provide form of government for
the new Territory and to carry out
the financial obligations imposed by
the treaty.
1t contains no reference to the sugar
bounty at all.
1t will be transmitted to the Senate,
accompanied by a message from the
President, who, it is said, will cover
the historic features of the anneXa-
ton movement from the beginning,
fifty years ago, and make strong
argument in favor of annexation.

New York, Feb. 14.-Under a Wash

is reason for believing, as far as the
executive branch of the Government
is concerned, that negotiations for the
annexation of Hawaii are about to be-
if indeed they have not already been,
concluded. The proposed meeting to-
day of the Secretary of State and the
Hawaiian commissioners did not take
place, owing to the fact that Secretary
Foster desired to attend the meeting
of the American members of the
Monetary Conference at Senator ALI
sons house, but tomorrow morning
the treaty for annexation, this being
the form in which it is believed the
final result of the negotiations will
find expression, is to be signed and
transmitted to the President. The

Farrell made his reputation behind the bat

he went into the Chicago brotherhood team
and in 1891 PLAYED with the Boston American
Association team. When Messrs. Young and
Phelps divided up the players of the American
Association among the clubs of the new con-
solidated league. they received applications
from nearly, il not quite. every club for Far
rell. Ii was decided that he should not remain
at Boston, for without him that club was
clearly the strongest in the league. SO Tom
Brown sent to Louisville and Charley
Farrell to Pittsburg. Neither over
rell was not satisfied with the terms
offered him by Pittsburg this year and held

Pittsburg whereby the pitcher went to the
smoky CITY and the catcher came here. 1t was
a clever stroke, for In no city has Farrell o

She Was Trying Not To.

From the Detroit Free Press.
The woman with a basket on her arm was
nosing around the market picking up at various
stands such edible bargains rs skillful landlady
knows at sight. and at last she pulled up along
side of a stand with q pile of dressed chickens
on the counter.
"These fresh?" she asked laying her hand on
them.
YES" replied the hucks.er. rather impa-
tiently.
She didn't respond, but began looking at
something else. and shortly returned to the
chickens, which she shifted at several times
and finally put her nose down close to get q
smell that would confirm her suspicious.
Here angrily exclaimed the huckster,
"What are you smelling those chickens for?'
II amt smelling them" she said, as she
moved off. II was just trying not to-" And
the rival huckster in the adjoining stall laughed
till the other man threatened to fick him In two
minutes if he didn't shut up.
