HAWAII"
Critical Portland Will Pass Judgment OF
This Original Opera Tomorrow Night.

Tomorrow evening at City Hall. will be
witnessed the initial performance OF
Mitchell & Emerson's comic opera of
Hawaii. The actors and dancers are
now on the tenterhooks," SO to speak,
awaiting the ordeal with high strung
nerves. Mr.. Gilbert, who SO successfully
staged the burlesque s1492," says that
the action, lines and music of Hawaii"
afford a fine opportunity for stage
effects, and he has worked like tiger to
make the production a success. The
stage settings Ut the TWO acts afford
marked and picturesque contrasts. The
first act represents the terra Gotta throne
room of the capitol at Honolulu and will
be made to represent as nearly as posi- BILE
the real room, in which the dusky queen
transacted the business of her comic
opera government. The setting of the
second act is a garden scene and repre-
sents the ground of Iolani palace, the
home of Hawaiian royalty. With the
new stage and scenery at City Hall
good deal can be accomplished in the
way of making these representations
correct in many details.
And then, too, the costumes of the
different characters are all national and
afford contrasts that are picturesque in
the extreme The Queens costumes in
both the first and second acts are sym
phonies in color long to be remembered.
Add to all this the fun which the prin-
cipals make, the bright and catchy
music and the many specialties which
are put In different places during the
performance. all done by people you
know, and you have an attraction of
personal interest. The dancing of the
gorgeously dressed ballet, the Hulas,
the Queens train bearers and the chief
of the Honolulu police force will afford
a combination Of the artistic and gro
tesoue that cannot fail to amuse.
There are still good seats for Thursday
night ut Mitchll's ticket office 542 Con-
oress St. Be advised in time.
There was capital dress rehearsal at
the hall last night, and there will be an
other tonight.

we are going to have cold winter, and
gives the following 'signs:' The coons

that have been sheared are rapidly re-
gaining their fleece"
It might be added that the goose bone
is spotted, and Governor Pennoyer gets
left in January; that firewood is expen-
sive, and the plumbers already smile
that the only genuine groundhog-sau-
sage-is already in the market, that the

GRAND PIONEER BALL
GATHERED THE OLD-TIMERs AT
THE LOCKS.
Coon with HuckIeberry Sauce, Virginia

rifles, the Features of
Pleasant Evening.

''TheTe was sound of revelry by night,
The lamps shown DER fair women and brave men;
A thousand hearts beat happily; and when
Music arose, with its voluptuous swell,
Soft eyes looked love to eyes which spake again,
And all went merry as marriage bell"
Twas at the pioneer ball of Saturday,
Oct. 18th, the healthiest, happiest lot
of ripe veterans of the Oregon vintage of
1850; men and women who could tell
you all about the Indian fighting, the
sieges in block houses, and the vicissi
tudes Of pioneer life, and who said they
were sixty, seventy and one or two, as
old as eighty-one years of age, but whose
feet tripped as merrily and whose eyes
shone as brightly in the grand march,
to the time of "Auld Lang Syne," as
any of the youngster who had gathered
to do them honor. 1t was indeed, as
one of them expressed it, "red letter
day. in their lives. The old settlers
gathered from all along the middle Col
umbia, some who had not met before
for years.

sob, go 'long-Is that you, Amos. !"
And such .hand-shaking, and such talk
of the days when Phil Sheridan was a
gay lieutenant and fought Indians at the
block house.
But to return to the ball. The grand
march began at $50, to the tune OF
''Auld Lang Syne," led by DR.. H. A.
Leavens and Mrs. Atwell, pioneers OF
1852 and 1850: then Put Bradford, 1850,
Mrs. Leavens, SO; Mr.. J. F. Imams,
'52, with Mrs. st. Martin, so; Mr..
Amos Underwood, so, and Mrs. Reid,

Mrs. Jones; Mr.. John Woodward, '53,
and Mrs. Bergeron; Mr.. j. w. Stephen
son, '53, and Mrs. Harper, 80; Mr.. and
Mrs. Stevens of Cape Horn, '52; Mr.
and Mrs. Sullivan, Mr.. and Mrs. Hall
Mrs. Dobson.
These pioneers were followed by fifty
couples, and forming sets, the old people
showed the young ones how they usec
to dance when Oregon was wilderness
and right well they remembered, fol
they danced all night; that is, some o
them did, doing full justice meanwhil,
to an old-time supper of coon anc

There are no new developments IN thu
matter of the express robbery. Severa
detectives came up from Portland, bu
if they have found anything to work OF
they are very naturally keeping to them
selves. They all look abysmalIy wise
consequently it is safe to assume tha
they have no information.

refused to vacate the premises when the
irate owner tried to drive him away.
Instead of shooting him then and there,
as many would have done, he saw the
justice of the peace, who, after hearing
the facts, ordered him to kill the animal
at once, and Sundoy afternoon Mr..
Weidner at distance of seventy-five
yards, accurately drove a rifle ball be-
tween the eyes and into the brain, kill
ing him instantly. This rids the neigh
borhood of very great danger as the
bull would sooner or later have killed
