enant before he passed into the re-

up to that time entertained the pecu-
liar views 10 which he now adheres
with so much fervor, but has been
gradually coming to them since that
time. A tour of five months in Egypt
did much TO change his ideas of liv-
ing. He there fell into the practice
of eating almost nothing but bananas,
not because the cooking in the
hotels was not good, and not from
any theory on the subject of diet.

no cook can improve on nature. /
came to Honolulu not because my
attention had been called to it by the
political troubles, but because its
geographical location seemed con-
Venient. The Hawaiian Islands, Sa-
moa and the Society Islands are sup
posed to have the finest climates of
any places in the world. / thought
that the mild, soft and balmy climate
would make good fruits, and so j
came here. If il does not suit me
shall go SOUTH"
Mr.. Boeter said he did not find it
warm here at all, but that on the con-
trary the nights were almost too cool.
"But them" added he, "the skin of
course is made soft by clothing, when
that is left off the skin hardens. OF
course, l am opposed to clothing. My
ideal is to live according to nature. l
consider il possible for men to return

'TYour view is the same as ROus-
seau's ?"
al haven't read much Rousseau v
replied Mr.. BOeter. l have tried to,
but he is too prolix. l cannot find
that he had much influence in making
men better and happier"
"Do you intend to found commu-
nity?"
"Not a community exactly. Per-
haps others will come. l would be
very glad II men would JOIN IN Win
me, as only by living according to
nature can they be happy. L want to
live without clothes, as far as my fell
low men will allow me to do So"
Mr.. Boeter then explained that he
could not state just what he would do,
as he did not know the islands yet.
He would like to acquire some land,
but did not care for whole island, as
he did not want to live in such seclu-
sion. He thought, as long as the site
chosen was at distance from any
town, the community could live In a
state of nature without interference.
OF course there would be some diff
Guilty at first, until the novelty wore
of. When the skin gets little brown
it will look all right. as the bronzed
skin seems to look like clothing. In
Egypt persons went around perfectly
naked, and English. and American
ladies looked on freely.

Is Known as Fighting joe"
Commodore Joseph S Skerrett, who
recently attained the rank of rear ad-
miral on the retirement Of Admiral Ir-
win, is considered the best navigator in
the United States navy and is known
among his seamen by the endearing
nickname of "Sailor Joe " He might
have been a soldier, however, and had
two narrow escapes from a military ca

offered the choice Of an appointment to

other was during the early years of the
war, after he had reached the rank of
lieutenant in the navy.
When in 1862 he came home from serv-
ice on the coast of Africa, where he had
been sent with the sloop Saratoga TO sup
press the slave trade, he found there was
no disposition to assign him TO any duty
of Importance, and he grew very impa

a day or two ago the ADVERTISER
drew attention to the arrival by the
Australia of a German by the name of
Boeter, who lives like the birds on
fruit, taking no further thought for
the morrow what he shall eat, land not
drinking anything at all.
An ADVERTISER reporter called on
Mr.. Boeter yesterday and found him
enjoying the shade of a cool veranda
at the house of Mr.. Fetter on Young
street, with whom he is lodging.
Near him was pile of young and
promising looking cocoanuts, which
were TO serve as the staple of the ap-
preaching MONDAY meal. Mr.. Boeter
is a well proportioned man of medium
height, clear, fair complexion and
blue eyes, and the expression which
distinguishes the face of the sensitive
enthusiast. He wears Il moustache
and beard, with rather long hair
pushed back from the forehead. The
picture presented below shows hin as
a dashing young German cavalry
officer, who thinks more of running
his horses on the race track than of
working a revolution in the habits
and occupations of mankind.
Mr.. BOeter received the ADvER-
TIsER man with great courtesy, and
expressed a willingness to talk,
though he was mOdestly inclined to
keep his own individuality in the
background. He does not resent the
propensity to jest at his opinions and

HOW TO PLAY COMEDY
Light on a Not Generally
Understood Subject.
PANT0MIME'S GREAT VALUE
Fritz Williams Tells How the Charac-
ters Should Be Studied.

There are 30 many actors In this country
who are much better qualified by virtue OF
experience and ability TO speak Of the de-
vslopment Of comedy characters that feel
not unnatural hesitation about rushing
into print on that subject However, IL Is
not difhcult matter TO give my own meth
DDS and theories, which have one ardent
follower at least myself.
In the first place believe comedy is much
more difficult TO depict, night In and night
out. than serious work. In the former the
little crosses which are ipseparabls from
life, and especially stage ife, affect ones
work detrlmentally, whereas, with the lat
ter, exactly the reverse ID the case. The
most important branch of the art from a
comsdian's standpoint is psntomime Run
back over the history OF the stage for Q CEN
tury, and you will find that the great kings
Of comedy were all pantomimic adopts. A
single gesture or a change Of facial express
sion often brings laugh, where few
words, no matter bow iptripsieally funny
they might be, would scarcely force smile.
A very good illustration of this theory
as well as Of the truism that the best work
a comedian does IL often suggested by the
audience " found ip an experience Of my
own. In Merry Gotham" play which
was presented at the New York Lyeeum the
atsr, Of the stock company OF which have
the honor to be a member, had very good
part, and made my first real New York
impression. THE Gsey Mare" followed
"Merry Gotham" and on the opening
night, at my first entrance, was compli.
mented by the friendly audience with what
we actors are pleased TO call reception" "
This was n rather novel experience 10 me,
and was 80 taken aback while acknowl-
edging tile applause that unconsciously
frowned. This continued to do for some
time until suddenly made the startling

actors, the comedian included. This have
observed on several occasions, and IL would
appear 10 demonstrate the fact that IL is in
Judicious 10 PREDICATE the laughs, for by 80

do not wish IT TO be understood that
believe that comedian should sacrifice his
art with the sole object In view Of causing
the thoughtless to litter. Farce comedy
methods are seldom warranted by the cir
cumstances, and i must admit that the
greatest enemy Of the funmaker OF a stock
company is the person who encourages him
TO forget the integrity Of his art by laugh.

Is not strictly legitimate. A half dozen

has just said or the manner In which ls
said IT were worthy OF praise IL would
come from all over the thestsr. Theater
goers are, as rule, very liberal minded
persons, who are quick TO appreciate good,
conscientious work, just as they are prone
70 resent slipshod performance.
Comedy offers many temptations TO the
ambitious young man who adopts the stage
as a profession. Everybody likes TO make
other people laugh. There 10 an ineffable
satisfaction is knowing that you have aided
in making the world merry This IL doubt
less why mum bers OF men have tried come

cases as leading men.

When an author reads play about to be

to strike the members OF the company as
