Frawleys Give Farewell
to Honolulu.
Short Sketch of COmedy-ROles
Taken by Able
Artists.

1.-The Jilt," Dion Boucicault's latest
comedy, which the FrawIeys present
tonight. was written by the famous
old playwright as a proof that he had
not, as some of his critics detained,
outIived his usefulness. He proceeded
TO write a play to prove that he could
still write entertaining dramas. The
result was The Jilt" The main in
cident of the play is founded on Haw-
lew Smart's story in novel form, called
From Post to Finish
It is an entertaining comedy, having
for it's central figure Myles O'Hara, a
prominent young Irishman, who is
more or less of an adventurer, a gen
tleman jockey who falls in love with
lA..ty Woodstock, the young heiress
and finally succeeds in winning her
hand; Lord Marcus Wyhe, the villain
of the play, holds notes of young God
frey Tudor's whose father is Kitty
Woodstock's guardian, holding her for
tune in trust. To save the TudOrs
from disgrace Kitty insists upon set
thing Godfrey's obligations to Lord
Marcus, who had fleeced him at the
gambling table. The intrigues of Lord
Marcus are checkmated and frustrat-
ed by Myles O'Hara. Young Burlelgh
Woodstock, an easy-gOing Squire, also
falls into the clutches of Lord Marcus,
and is saved by Kitty Woodstock Miss
Bates).
Miss Bates plays the young Irish
heiress, one of the prettiest of all
Boucicault's heroines, and her dainty
comedy scenes will be greatly enjoyed.
Miss McAllister has part in which
she is particularly happy.
Miss Ross has a pretty part as Phyl-
lis Welton, and her numerous friends
will have an opportunity of hearing
her play a violin solo, the ending of the
second act.
Mr.. Worthing plays young Burleigh
Woodstock. Mr. Leslie young Godfrey
Tudor and Mr.. Arbuckle old Col. Tudor,
the gruff old guardian.
Mr. Clarke will have the character
comedy part of James Daisy.
Mr.. Enos plays Lord Marcus Wylie.
Mr.. Bosworth plays the near-sighted
curate.
Miss Rowan will be seen as Millicent,
the elder sister of Kitty Woodstock.
Mr.. Frawley, in Myles, will make up
for the lack of opportunity offorded
him, except on one or two occasions
since the company have appeared here,
as he has frequently put himself in
the background in plays to give every
body equal opportunities to become
favories with the audience.
Wherever '"The Jilt'' has been played
Mr.. Frawleys rendition of the char
acter of Myles O'Hara has been favor
ably compared to that of the author
the great Dion Boucicault-and, in
fact, in many instances the press have
pronounced him the successor of that
famous impersonator of the genteel
Irish character.

DIR. RYDER'S LECTURE.
Interested Audience Listened to a
Splendid Treatise.


A large and interested audience of
ladies assembled in the Y M. G. A
Hall yesterday afternoon to listen to
Dr. Emily B. Ryder's opening address.
Before commencing the lecture for
the afternoon the doctor explained the
nature of her work for the child-wives
of India, and briefly referred to the
Hindu belief with regard to marrying
their little girls at as early an age as
possible, in order to aid their spiritual
evolution. Women being considered
soulless beings, it was only by mar
riage that they became human.
All little Hindu girls in India were
married before they were s, or in some
cases, years of age, and when mar
ried to mature men and sent to live
with them at that early age, often the
result was cruelty disastrous to the
child-wife. 1t is medical and legal
aid for these child-wives that DR.. Ry-
der is working to obtain
''How Not To Be Ill said the doctor,
was of much greater Importance than
what to do after we become ill., If we
wish to learn how not to be i'll we
must cease to think and talk and write
of disease, only mentioning it to our
doctor, and then in the strictest con-
fidence. In the near future it will
be the highest duty of the physician
to keep the people we'll, and We like
the Chinese, will pay our doctors to
prevent sickness. A woman's first
duty is to make herself the strongest,
healthiest and happiest woman posi-
BILE. The history of medicine was one
of ever-changing experiments. Rene
dies and diseases go out of fashion just
as our clothes do, and women felt ne
elected if they had not the fashionable
disease or surgical operation.
The second lecture of the course,
Best Food for the Best Bodies will
be given this afternoon in the same
hall.

pecting Another Big Lot Of
Work.

Work out at the Belts Machi Com.
pany is plentiful. and the prospects are
that before another month the company
will have begun the work of duplicating
an order for Russian locomotive build
ing syndicate. Several months ago the
local company built for the Russian Com
pany nine 36 inch, four As inch, and two
80 inch planners, one 26 inch slottor two
drills and one four foot boring mill.
The planers were about the largest ones
that have been built here. They were all
knocked down aud loaded aboard the big
English steamer Henley, which sailed
from n. Castle. While en- route the Henley
was caught in storm and sunk. The
machinery was never recovered. 1t was
insured, however, and the building and
owning companies lost but little.
The loss of the machinery was quite a
set back to the Russian Company and

with one company here TO duplicate the
contract. 1t was said that the company
had received the contract but this morn
