BURNED TO DEATH IN THEIR HUT

. CLEV ELAND, O., March 16, 1Sy6.--A
special to the Press from Geneva, Ohio,
says
Delmonica Tidio and his son Paske, two
Italians, section men on the Lake Shore
Railroad, We're burned to death in their
house at this place at four o'clock Sun
day morning. When their dwelling was
gained such headway that they could not
be extinguished. After the fire had SUBJ
sided the charred bodies of the two men
were found with heads, legs and arms
burned off. Foul play is suspected, as
they had been robbed once before this
winter, and as they were known to be
saving funds to send to their families in
Italy it is surmised that they were muir
dered, robbed and the house set on fire.

In the Minstrel of Glare, to be pre-

OLynn a character that appeals to him
a little more, perhaps. than those in his
other plays, and his investment of the
role with an unusual degree of enthu
siasm and earnestness makes a very
favorable impression on his audience.
He is never careless, even for a moment
and his performance of the dashing
young American is marked by a

versatile actor on the stage. His trans
formations do not consist merely of a
change of costume, but he actually
changes himself and appears as per-
fectly in the role of gay soubrette as
in that of a heavy tragedian. His re-
markable ability is wonderful and is

Personally Biondi is as italian as pos

Biondi has had quite an experience with
the fair sex. He has received no end of
notes from admiring women. and, not
being able to read English has had
difficult time to get a proper transla-

foolish woman, that, with evidence on
every hand to prove that she was only
most justly reaping what she had sown,
the spectator finds his eyes filled with
tears for her sorrows. And when one
comes to think of it this is the secret of
the power that such women as the Dull
Gle Laronde of Miss Allen possess in
real life over the minds and hearts OF
men-the art of exciting their sympathy.
AS Mimi in Bohemia Miss Allen has an

1t will be welcome news to every one to

Gone to Rest.

Little Johnny Larsen, the eldest
son Of Captain VIM. Larsen died
this morning at the Queens Hospi-
tai. The poor little boy, who was
only six years of age, met with a
serious accident few days ago by
being run over by heavy dray. The
best medical care was procured by
the father, and there were hopes
that the child would ultimately re-
cover. A relapse took place and the
sufferings of the boy we're finally
stilled.
Mr.. William Larsen has the SYM
pathy OF the community in his sad
loss. Little Johnny was a bright
and hopeful child, and his untimely
death has caused sorrow among the
many friends of his parents.
The funeral takes place from the
residence OF Mr.. Larsen at 3 o'clock
this afternoon.

A True Artist

Mr.. Fred Yates, one OF the most
distinguished OF modern portrait
painters OF the young and rising
school, objects to being advertised
or even interviewed by newspaper
men, with whom he has had much
experience. He cannot stop The
INDEPENDENT, however, from men,
tioning the lfe.like pictures pro-
duced by his mastery hand while in
Honolulu.
The portraits OF Mrs. Widemanp,
Mother Rice, Judge Hartwell, and
Bruce Cartwright cannot be sur
passed in faithful likeness and in
artistic execution.
The gem, as far as reproducing
the features of live and kicking
man, is the picture OF DIR. "Bob"
McKibbin. This picture has been
presented to the Pacific Club, and
prior to its removal to those sacred
halls it can be viewed at the art
gallery of the Pacific Hardware Co.
Mr.. Yates calls the portrait sketch
and souvenir. The spectator won
ders when the doctors favorite pipe
will be lighted and his "story" be-
gin. 1t is very striking and 'live"
portrait although Mr.. Yates smiles
rather condescendingly at it, but ad-
mits that in his inner soul he likes
it very we'll indeed.
Mr.. Yates will stay among us
probably for another mouth. 1t will
be pity il be is allowed to leave
without perpet uating the features
of some of our prominent aud his
toric Hawaiian ladies on the canvas.
We have never seen the brush OF
auy artist who could reproduce on
canvas the true complexion of the
Hawaiians in the talented manner
of this artist. Many have tried but
all have failed until Yates landed
here. Even our native son Joe
Strong, clever as he is, and thorough
artist as he is, must give way to Mr.
Yates in this particular.

THE BAND PLAYS ON.

And now the organ of Colonel
Little in "greater" Hilo is after the
scalp OF Houolulu visitors, who do
not fall down and worship at the
Little shrine. The following is
copied from the Hawaii Herald:
Chester Anthony Doyle has told
the people Of Honolulu tale of
woe that has brought bitter tears
to the men who entertained him
while he was here. 1t seems to the
Herald that it is time the citizens
OF Hilo should cease opening their
doors to people of Honolulu ouly
to have them go back to the capital
and say rude things about US. 1t is
only short time ago since an Ad-
vertiser reporter stopping at the
Hilo Hotel, took lunch at the Or
phanage and then told the readers
OF the Advertiser that the land in
Olaa was not as good for some pro
ducts as that of Kona. Ii he had
taken another meal at the Orphan
age it is probable he would have
said that any defects in the soil
could be attributed to the settlers
in the district, but if he had, we
have the campaign lie killed on the
second leap.
