"Take night ride from Baltimoreto Wash

The notion that alcohol may do good be-
cause, for moment it seems to do good, was
well answered by physicians response to
man who was somewhat too much given TO
the pleasure of the table. This man had said
to the doctor:
''What do you think Of the influence OF al
cohol on the digestion, doctors"

physician
'.But a little whisky taken just before
meal is the only key that will open my appe-

WATCH THE LIGHTS.
As We roll out Of the station I lean from
the window and watch the lights. There are
the electric lights. looking like great chrys-
anthemums pinned on the sable robe of night,
a fancy that pleases me so much that the
wilderness of red, white, and green lights we
are passing through sinks into insignidcance
beside it. Across the track hang three rows
Of red lights, and on the other side of the
boiler L can dimly see the engineer, his face
grave. his eyes taking in the position of the
lamps. which to me are so meaningless, but
to him mean life or death.
We are beginning to 20 faster, and street
lamps are flying by, when there is a sudden
deatening roar and tbe lights all 90 out. 1
fall back against the window, wishing with
all my heart that l was safe at home. The
fireman leans over me and shouts:
We're going into the tunnel now"
look out through the narrow window in
the front Of the cab. The headlight throws
cylinder OF light on the damp rock walls of
the tunnel. and just above the smokestack I
can see the stream Of sparks and smoke
strike against the roof and hatten out. Ahead
the walls seem to dwindle and narrow. TIL I
could fairly scream at the idea that we are
running into the narrowing end of funnel.
The fireman reaches for the beIl-rope, which
lies along the boiler beside me, but have it
first and pull with will. relieved to be doing
something. I cannot hear the bell though 1
remember that back in the train l have often
heard it ringing as we rode through tunnels
The roar Is deafenIng, the air Of the tunnel
sitting.
Suddenly straight ahead shines out the head
light of another engine. 1 turn and scream
out at the engineer, but the next instant COW

terror, for 1 see that the light is on the other

As we leave the tunnel. he jumps down 20
the tender, and begins to shovel coal into the

in two miles. The glare from the open fur

diabolical suggestion about him. 1 am re-

ED IToR HoLoMUA

The vacant lot on the corner
of Beretania and Fort streets was
the scene last Saturday night, OF
a most damnable outrage, the
perpetrators being members OF
the present governments police
force. A native Hawaiian and a
drunken white man were the
cause of the excitement.
What heinous crime that had
been committed by the native to
subject him to such outrageous
ill-treatment, was not known to
the witnesses present, except
what could lie gathered from re-
marks made by the perpetrators,
which was, THAT we suppose he
was robbing or trying to rob the
drunken man" When it is
known that the white-man is
evidently friend of Murray and
his gang, it will be easily seen
that, that fact was alone enough
to cause the outrageous pro-
ceedings.
Whatever may have been the
cause of the mans arrest was no
excuse for the ill.treatment he
was subjected too. even if he en-
deavored to resist being arrested.
The native was thrown or knocked
down into a puddle of water, tied
up with rope, ridden over by
mounted policeman. and dog
set on to him, aud by the look of
his face, it appeared as if it had
been struck by some kind of
weapon, and was bleeding badly.
During this performance the
drunken white-man was stumb-
ling about using vile language.
Judging from his accent. he is no
doubt a member of Murray's
gang. Murray tried to get him
into q hack, but he would not
bulge, then Murray to init
mediate him showed HIM a badge,
and said. do you see this. the
drunken fellow laughed. and said
Och you are only a fireman.

MISREPRESENTATION.

1t will be remembered, that W.
II. Daley, the manager of the
theatrical company, which lately
visited Honolulu, attempted to
impress the public with the idea
that he was appointed manager
of the Hawaiian Opera House.
We published at the time an
interview with Mr.. ". G.. Irwin
in which the latter stated, that
the control and management of
the Opera House were absolutely
in the hands of his firm and,
although, Mr.. Daley or anybody
else, were perfectly welcome to
bring good Companies to Homo.
lulu, no changes had been made
in the management of the theatre.
Mr.. Daley who is an expert in
blowing his own horn has stuff
ed" the San Francisco Music aud
Drama with a number of mis-
leading statements. We repro
duce some of them and call the
attention of theatrical managers
who may desire to visit Honolulu
TO the fact that in the future as
we'll as in the past all arrange
ments should be made with Mr..
L. j. Levey or direct with Messr.
w. G. Irwin & Co.

appreciative neighbors in Honola-
In that their Opera House is to be
managed hereafter by an expert
enced man who will see that they
get good attractions from time to
time and will deceive neither
public nor performer. as has been
done by parties in charge of the
h use heretofore.
". r. Dailev's Dramatic Com
pany returned from Honolulu per
steamer MariDosa Wednesday.
The grand benefit OF the company
at the Hawaiian Opera House
brought a magnificent display of
flowers, which We're presented TO
all the favorites.
Levey, the alleged Honolulu
manager, has lost his little grip
on theatricals affiirs in the Ha-
waiian capital AID henceforth he
will not be permitted to tax the
innocent and unwary manager
five per cent of the gross receipts
for selling tickets. A large por-
ton Of the money honestly and
laboriously earned by people who
played the Hawaiian Islands has
found its way by hook or crook
into T,eyev's nocsets ALWAYS
open for a sure thing. Manager
". r. Daley shifted the cut on
Levey and raised him out of the
game.

An esteemed correspondent
writes to us about the disgraceful
row which happened last Satur-
day on Beretania street. We
think, that he is unjust to Mr..
Murray, who only acted as any
good and law abiding citizen
should. AS the matter is being
thoroughly investigated by Mar
shall Hitchcock aud the injured
native set at liberty, we see no
reason for further comments.

They Breathe Again.

There has been fgurative
suspension of respiration on the
part Of large group OF our patri
OTIS. 1t was caused by the an
nouncement that Mr.. Patrick
Crowley, San Francisco's Chief OF
Police had arrived in Honolulu,
intent upon securing the home
ward company OF some of the
numerous thieves, enbezzlers,
defaulters and miscellaneous
crooks who have left the coast
for prudential reasons, and drift
ed upon this beach. These ac-
cretions to our population have
been unusually numerous since
the birth Of the late demented,
but strictly holy and virtuous 2.
G., and, q fact most queer we'll
mention here, this army of crooks
whether of earlier or later arriy-
al, are almost TO man enlisted
as the virtuous supporters OF this
most virtuous republic. The self
willed gentlemen referred to hold
offices under the only Immaculate
government on earth, at least so
far as the supply of Offices could
furnish berths for them, but it
must be admitted that their in
vasion since the Stevens episode
has rendered 1t impossible for
the God-fearing statesmen to find
official billets for the entire
swarm. However, the "army"
has always been open, like the
doors of a charity hospital, to
those enthusiastic citizen sold
iers' of whom it is now chiefly
composed, and some of the patri-
OTIS have even been obliged to
stoop to the most uncongenial
avocation of spying upon the
heels of reputable citizens, hatch
ing royalist plots, and similar |
highly useful but not too high |
toned employments. Next to the
Missionaries, these gentlemen
comprise the most earnest and
influential element in the anti
annexation camp.
But Crowley's advent sent the
entire swarm into a condition of
mind bordering upon Mysteries.
They held their breath for days,
until the government realized
that something must be done to
restore the confidence of their
m S { numerous supporters.
Hence, the government organ
came out yesterday with the Joy
full news that Mr.. Crowley had
been closeted several times with
Mr.. Dole, and, juxta-position
to that announcement came the
more comforting and important
one that there would be no at
tempt on Mr.. Crowley's part to
extradite the crooks. And now
there is JOY and confidence once
more in the camp of the alleged
republican party, for Mr.. Crow
ley has announced that he will
not ruthlessly tear away the main
prop of the republic. Good
Mr.. Crowley. Happy and vir-
tuous republic.
