This week we are offering

it does not mean old stock,

but new articles reduced to

We have linen towels all

article for the boudoir and
indispensable to ladies and

cheaper in price and not so
good in quality, suitable for

TRILBY LAST NIGHT.
Drill Shed Packed to Suffocation.
An Excellent Performance.

All EASSllSnl performances.
The largest paid audience that has
ever assembled in a theatre in Homo
lulu was at the Drill Shed last night
to witness the performance of Trilby
by A. M. Palmer's New York Company
under the management of w. a. Brady.
Owing to the absence of programs
it was impossible for the audience to
know who composed the caste as
whole. Miss Crane, however, essayed
Trilby in very satisfactory and pleas
ing manner and Jennie Reiferth did
the French landlady in her usual ele-
CANT manner. The character of the
play was Svengeli, and whoever the
actor happened to be, was, in the opin-
ion of many who have seen Wilton
Lackye, superior to him in many ways.
The Laird Billy and Tappy, familiar
to those who have read the book, were
what Du Maurier intended his char
acters should be.
The play ran smoothly and in the
third act the death scene of Syengali
was, perhaps, the most realistic bit of
acting ever seen on the Honolulu
boards. 1t left an impression that will
not soon wear off. In the last act Miss
Crane had rare opportunities to dis
play her fine talents as an actress.
Her death scene was especially good.
Acting manager Wildly, an old friend
of Bob Scott's, was to have announced
the latter's benefit at the Drill Shed
on October 8. AS he failed to do SO
it is surmised that he was as fOrgetful
in that part as he was with programs.

goods it contained were almost entirely
DESTROYED. Considering these facts, it is
quite probable that the damage will prove
to exceed the above figures.
1t proved most stubborn fire to sub
due. No sooner would one portion be
seemingly under subsection to the stream
of water poured on from the hose than the
flames would be seen to shoot out through
the window, there to be attacked in turn
by another stream.
The tower, with its tremendous force of
water continuously pouring in through the
open window, went apparently for naught
as against the violent heat and shooting
tongues of flame driving their forces
against the water.
This tight was kept up between the two
giant destroyers until orders were given
10 discontinue the use of the tower, and q
ladder was run up against the building
and line of hose sent up where it was
seized by one of the firemen who, with
daring SO characteristic to his calling,
stepped inside of what seemed a verltable
furnace.
This bravery was rewarded by an imme-
date cessation of the flames from the
wood which served TO partition off the
interior of the beehive into cubby holes
for the tenants.
After this application the fire was viz
tually under subsection, and 1t required
only short time before what had Deen an
hour previous a fiery furnace was con-
verted into a charred and dismal spectacle
of ruin and desolation.
The stretching of the hose across kearny
street had the effect of stopping the elec-
tric-cars. and ali those which had been
caught north of the scene were compelled
to remain where they were until long after
l clock, much TO the chAgrln or the men
employed upon them.

egg to decompose. To prevent this, place
new-laid eggs in wire basket and i'm
merse for five seconds in boiling water.
This causes thin coating of coagulated
albumen to form next the shell. The
pores of the smell can then be closed by
dipping in linseed oil. Such an egg will
keep almost Indefinitely.
The whites of eggs. will froth more
rapidly if cold. A pinch of salt in warm
weather will cool the whites when ready
for beating. Yolks well beaten, with a
little flour sifted over the top, will last for
a couple of days, but if the whites are
wanted to keep they must be left un-
beaten.
The yolk of an egg is good substitute
for cream in coffee and will suffice for
three cups.
Eggs boiled twenty minutes are more
digestible than those boiled five. This is
because they are dry and mealy.

usually remove ishbone stuck in the
throat. The white of an egg is a good APP
plication for burn. Mix black ink with

by the Republican party leaders in San
Francisco, who, through the executive
committee, encourage the men in the vari-
Gus Assembly districts to hold club meet
ings, and who impress upon the minds of
the party followers what will insure a tri-
umphant victory.
There is more important duty to be
fulfilled when the votes are all in the box,
which is TO see that an honest and faithful
count of the votes cast is had and the men
for whom they have been deposited are
credited with their rightful shares.
In a well organized political club the
mem bers become known to each other
and when the time arrives for volunteers
see that fair play is accorded to ALL there
will be no difficulty in securing the proper
material from the ranks.
This precaution no doubt is the incen-
tive which prompts the young men of the
several Assembly districts to keep up a
continuous club organization.
With this object in view the Forty-fourth
Assembly District has not been backward
in placing the Republicans of their district
on war footing.
This club was organized on the 10Th of
last January in pursuance of instructions
from the Republican Executive Council.
1t continued with its regular meetings
until the 9th of the present month, when
a reorganization upon broader plane was
perfected.
At that meeting $50 names appeared
upon the clubroll, all of which represented
bona-tide residents and voters of the dis
trict.
Among the officers elected for the year
are men well known, not only in the i'm
mediate neighborhood but all over the
City.
Captain T. Hanson, the vice-president.
held the position of Market Inspector un.
der the late Republican administration
and left a splendid record behind him.
His army record. too, is as good as any
mans can be and his Republication
stands second to none.
The president of the club, l. E. Jarrett.
is young lawyer of brilliant attainments
and OF great popularity.
With these men at the head of the club
as officers, and ably assisted by their asso.
ciates, there is every reason to believe
that the Forty-fourt District will give a
good account Of itself when the votes are
counted for Major William Mckinley and
Hobart, as also for the municipal nomi-
nees.
The following named gentleman are
officers of the club: /. E. Jarrett, presi-
dent Captain F. Hanson, ce-president
w. w. Cross, secretary; S. G. Jones, treas
urer.
Inc executive committee is composed OF

This committee has been authorized to
procure suitable headquarters for the cam

number, /. Z. Jarrett was Endorsed as the

THE PIG RETURNED HOME.

Beating the Record of the Cat That
Came Back or the Homing Pigeon.
The late Joseph Millward, father of the
present Joseph Q. Millward, told the fol-
lowing story of pig to Colonel William
A. Gum, who is our authority. 1t is 9
little incredible, but it is so well authenti-
Gated that we believe it, for no man in his
day in Lexington stood higher for veracity
and integrity than did "Old Joe' Mill
ward, as he was known to his ac-
quaintances:
Many years ago he was at q farmers
house to dinner, and while they were eat
ing little pig came into the dining-room,
and the good woman of the house re.
marked to her husband that she ''couldn't
keep it out and she wished that he would
kill it." Mr.. Millward said:
Don't do that, but send it to town
to me-"
The farmer replied that he would.
1t was in the days when wood was
burned In Lexington for fuel. and in day
or two the farmer sent in load of wood
and put the pig in basket and hung
it on the ooupling-pole of the wagon, and
in this way brought it TO town to Mr..
Millward. 1t was a very rainy time, and
the roads were muddy and wet. In a
night or two the pig disappeared.
and Mr.. MiIlward supposed some
negro mad stolen IL. lew
days afterward he met his farmer friend
and told him that some one had stolen his
pig. The latter remarked til at the pig had
come back home and that he intended to
keep it. The pig had crossed over town,
took the Newton road and got to Elkhorn
Creek. which was very high. The miller
at the creek told him that he had seen a
little muddy pig come to the creek and
take peep at the high water, and at last
he plunged IN, and the swift current
swept him down and over the dam, and
the miller thought it was drowned; but
after little time he saw the pig coming
up the opposite bank, and when he came
to the road he took up the hill and disap-
peared toward home.-Lexington Gazette.

WONDERFUL BENEFAoTIoNs.
When Baron Hirsch Began to Give His

When Baron Hirsch Began to Give His
Fortune Away.
Ever since the death of his only son he
devoted his life and fortune to works of
philanthropy, and in the first place to the
improvement of the lot of his own co-reli-
gionists in Austria, Hungary, Roumania
and Russia. Thus the Hirsch fund in
Austria disposes of sum of 1900. 600
francs for the purpose of educating the
children of INDECENT Galician Jews and
teaching them trades. There are no less
than forty-one such schools in existence

He assigned about 100000 francs to
his co-religionists in Roumania, and he
offered 80, 10000 francs for the purpose of
transplanting Russian Jews to America.
But owing to the refusal of the Russian
Government this plan IN its primitive and
grandiose form had to be abandoned.
Still, it is mainly to his energy and gener-
osity that thousands OF Russian Jews owe

make it perfectly healthful. 1t is declared
to be the heaithiest thing possible for
children to play in. and some doctors have
advised the making of mud pies as regu-
lar prescription for puny youngsters.
They say there is nothing like contact with
mother earth, and II the children do not
get heaIthful sand or dirt to play in they
will wallow in the gutter or yards and be
contaminated with all sorts of disease
germs.
City Legislator John Regain has gone
further, and has introduced an ordinance
in the city council to shut the worthless
element out of Eighth street or Garfield
Park, and give it over to the children. He
proposes to have sand piled In the corners
of the parks and let the children play all
they want. Mr.. Regain, who is well known
in New York, says that this should
certainly be done.

All About Eggs.

To determine the age of eggs, dissolve a
quarter of pound of salt into quart of
cold water and drop in the eggs one at a
time. If day old an egg will settle to
the bottom; if three days old it will float
if more than five days old. it will rise
above the water in proportion to its age.
To ascertain the quality of eggs, make a
coue of stiff white paper, place the egg in
the large end of the cone and look throug b
the small end toward the sun. If the con-
tents look clear, even though the shell is
discolored, the egg is good; if spotted, it
is not.
About 70 per cent of a fresh-laid egg is
formed of water, and this begins TO evapo-
rate soon after the egg is laid. Air enters,

In Cincinnati the City Furnishes Great

Some time ago, when an item went the
rounds of the press about the large num-
Der OF bow-legged children in Cincinnati,
1t was suggested that sand piles should be
provided for the children to play in. The
sand-piIe idea has been adopted, not only
Tor the bow-legged children, but for all

to a novel extent. Many of the school
yards have now in one corner large piles

play to their hearts content, says the
