ORION KNITTING MILLS.
This enterprise was built in 1890
and began manufacturing hosiery in
January, 1891, and has been going
steadily forward ever since. In dull
times and in flush times in winter and
in summer, when business generally
was depressed or when it was brisk
the Orion mills have kept
steadily knitting away and it's
popular hosiery has been conquering
competition and gaining in favor with
the dealers and the people.
The Orion mills started out with
a perfect equipment, both of men
and of machinery, of managers whose
skill and prudence have been the best
factor in the development of this en-
terprise, OF machinery, the perfection of
which has enabled the managers of

MEREDITH'S OLD COAT.
The Second Performance Last Even
ing.
The House Well FiIIed-ExceIlent
Rendition of Characters by Local
Talent-BeautifuI Music.

Another large audience turned
out at independence Park pavilion
last night to witness the second
performance of "Meredith's Old
Coat" All the best seats were
occupied and not few by people
who saw the performance when
first presented last Saturday night,
showing their appreciation of Mr..
Allderdice's play and the good act
ing OF the ladies and gentlemen
who so kindly came forward in
response to the call of old Kawaia-
hao for financial aid.
In the estimation of many of the
kamaainas of the city no better
amateur performance has ever been
presented before Honolulu audi
ence.
Upon presentation of the play
last night the audience was amused
throughout the three acts. The
clever situa tons, the ludicrous
scenes, the HOPELESS mix up of the
whole thing Ringing upon the rag
ged old coat with the final happy
denouement all go to make up a
play which upon presentation IN
Washington won the praise OF
many of that place. Mr.. Alder
dice says that the play has been
staged here as we'll as 1t was done
in Washington. =
The players were as happy in
their Irrespective parts last night
as they were upon the first occa-
sion.
Thanks to the Nuuanu Sextette
Club, composed of some of the best
known musicians of the city, the
intervals between acts were rem
dered most enjoyable by the de-
lightful music.
Kawaiahao need fear nothing as
to her possession of warm friends.
The presentation of the play at In
dependence Park twice for the ben
eft of the old historical church
seems ample proof of that. The
ladies and gentlemen of the cast
have labored assiduously for sew
era1 weeks in the perfection OF the
play in order to give the public the
worth of their money and at the
same time make a handsome sum
for Kawaiahao. The thanks of all
interested in the welfare of the
church are due each member OF the
cast.
Again, there are certain ones
who have not appeared upon the
stage whose. work was the founda-
ton of the successful presentation
of the play. To Mr.. Oscar Herold,
stage manager, and his able assist
ant are due the heartiest thanks.
For weeks and months to come
sMeredith's Old Coat" will be the
talk of Honolulu people, both on
account of its success and also on
account of the appropriateness OF
the plav to the social life Of today.

IN THE BEGINNING

Of the new year, when the winter sea-
son of close confinement is only half
gone, many find that their health be-
gins to break down, that the least ex-
posture threatens sickness. 1t is then,
as we'll as at all other times, and with
people even in good health, that the
following facts should be remembered,
namely: That Hoods Sarsaparilla
leads everything in the way of medi-
cines; that it accomplishes the great
est cures in the world, and requires the
largest building in the world devoted
exclusively to the preparation of the
proprietary medicine. Does not this
conclusively prove, if you are sick, that
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the medicine for
you to take?

Chief Bennett and his force have
added another laurel to their wreath.
The lntelIIgCncer has already men
toned the numerous daring daylight
robbcrIcs that have recently occurred
In various parts Of the city. The police
worked hard to secure clue, but for
some time their efforts were without
reward. Finally, at thu KlIeves house,
on the South Side, where one OK the
most daring robberIes occurred three
weeks ago, Chief Bennett secured the
clue that was the foundation OF the
accomplishment OF successful piece OF
detective work.
In entering the Kllcves house
through the window at the side, the
rubber Inadvertently dropped two
memorandum books. These were CIV
en- to the chief. 4 pcrusal OF one de-
Veloped that Its owner had been an
emplOyc of A. c. Cady. as there were
entries which showed that the man OF
the book had received wages from
Cady. The first step for Chief Ben
nett and Lieutenant Ingram, therefore,
was 10 place the locality OF Cady's en-
tabllShTIent under watch. After a ted
ious search It was found that Cady
runs boiler shop In SteubenvIlle. On
Monday. Lieutenant Ingram went to
Steubenville and interviewed Cady.
From him he learned that the owner
OF the book was J. W. McConnvllle,
who had been employed by him as n
timc-keeper. Very fortunately, 1t was
found that NcCOnnville was In Steu-
bcnVIlle at the time. The lieutenant
forthwith placed him under arrest and
brought him to Wheeling Monday
night.
McConnvllle did not deny that he
mad been In Wheeling al the time Of
the robberies, but he refused TO make
any damaging admissions and the chief
came 10 the conclusion at first that the
fellow had an accomplIce. For this rea-
son the arrest was not made public
Monday night, Investigation yester-
day inclined the chief to the belief that
there was no accomplish. Search OF the
prisoners person resulted in the find
Ing OF gold match box, which had
been stolen at the Heiner home and 4
watch chain that was identified as
having belonged TO 4 member OF the
klleyes family. This was damaging to
the prisoner. but he still refuses to dis
close the whereabouts of the valuable
booty he evidently secured In the sew
raj raids he Is thought to have been
implicated In here.
McConnvllIe asked the CHIEF II he
hadn't already got some OF the stolen
property, and intlmGted that there is
another man implicated. He added that
he would not make a confession that
would implicate poor farmer boy"
There seems 10 no doubt OF McConn-
vllle's guilt. He will be committed to-
day for preliminary hearing on the
18th OF this month befoGe Justice Phil
