POSITION OF THE CLUB.
REMARKS FROM NATIVE ANNEX
ATIoNIsTs NOW ORGANIZED.
New Converts-A Clear Under
standing Desired.

eff they mean strictly business
we would like them to join i'll with
us, said a member of the Hawaiian
Republican Club last night, speak
ing Of the new native annexation
party. "Our club is solid OH its
annexation plank and we want no
members who may become callous
or Indifferent to this issue"
The Hawaiian Republican Club
was organized last summer and has
about seventy-five members. 1t is
composed wholly of natives. Henry
Smith, James Boyd, Charles Wilcox,
d. l., Naone, Aki, Keola, Barenaba
and Akau are some of them.
This club will likely send mes
sage to the new annexation party.
1t will mean, in substance, this: Z" If
YOU are i'll for annexation, and mean
business, we invite you to consider
OUT platform"
There is no need of factions, :"
said one of the Republicans. Our
club is ready to concede anything
reasonable, to the converts. AS
THE STAR puts it, the question
after all is shall the American flag
wave over Hawaii ? That is what
we want. 1t the meantime we are
true blue to the Government and
insist that our associates shall take
the oath and stand ready to fight if
necessary. OF all our membership
but one man failed to respond to
the call to arms. That was George
Markham, who is believed to have
been on the other side and who
never did enjoy the confidence of
the organization"

ACTORS OF THE STREET.
OPEN AIR ENTERTAINMENTS FOR
ALL IN FAR OFF JAPAN.
Grotesque Little Chaps Fun of Fun 70
They are Always Ready to
Amuse All Corners

During a jinrikisha ride along
the streets Of any Japanese city the
traveller is almost sure to see a group
of young street acrobats, quaint
little people grotesquely dressed.
Their ages will range generally
between 3 and IL years, and all
have been regularly trained.
Their dress consists mainly of
loose trousers, a bright-colored
jacket, and a peculiar head dress.
The trousers are baggy, made OF
strong material resembling blue and
white bed ticking, and tied at the
ankle. The jacket and shirt are
bright and conspicuous.
The front of the head dress re-
presents the half-opened mouth OF
dragon, while the back is orna-
mented with many cocks plumes.
From under the head dress falls a
curtain of thin red material, thrown
carelessly back over the shoulders,
the whole being securely held on
the head by a piece of red cloth
which ties underneath the chin.
The little imps are always laugh
ing, full of fun, ever ready to play
harmless jokes on one another.
Some of their most skillful antics,
says the Y0HthS' Companion, will be
followed by simply throwing them
selves into ridiculous positions, in
tended solely to keep spectators in
a good humor.
You are startled to see them
suddenly stand upon their heads,
heels i'll air, or bend backward un-
til their saucy little faces will be
seen inverted between their knees.
Again they will walk OH their
hands, and, quite unexpectedly,

and tuMuling over each other,
Jumping, kicking or prancing, and
trying in every way to attract the
paSser-by.
One of them continually beats {
small drum and sings at the top o
his voice, doing his best to add t.

principles of the Japanese charac
ter-industry, patience and perse
verance.
