THE COLONEL'S PLAN.

The Gable iron is hot and the
thing to do is to keep on pounding
it. In addition to what has already
been published The STAR has
private advices to this effect Con
gress will not act unless the Ha-
waiian Government opens the field
to any American company having
the approval of the Congress of the
United States. Under such con-
ditions the Cable will be in opera
ton within year. y
This statement comes from the
largest patron o. telegraph lines in
the world. The informant is in
the closest touch with all projects
of the character under consideration
and any data from this source car
be acted upon with entire safety.
The trouble has been with The
fact or condition that an exclusive
franchise is held by Col. Spalding
THE STAR pleads guilty to having
advocated this bargain. There il
ample justification. Otherwise the
Cable matter would still lie dor
mant.
A way out of the deadlock sug
gests itself readily. Col. Spaldine
should either amalgamate his cor
poration with the other com
pany or yield. Advancement o.
the latter idea may seem cheeky
but it is not brought out thought
lessly. Col. Spalding time and
again volunteered the assurance
that he interested himself in the
enterprise very largely for the bene'
fit OF his adopted country and this
was accepted and is still believed.
The opposition to him in the States
is but natural, as the New York
capitalists argue that a strictly
American company should be given
the preference, They offer 10 take
less money and accept greater risk
than the Spalding company. Thus
they block the deal and will stand
between Hawrii and cable in
definitely unless Col Spalding cuts
the knot.

THERE would be no hard feeling
at all if those urging a special law
against Sunday shooting would first
test the present quite ample, rather
Puritan, Sabbath Observance
Statute. While there is merit in
the desires of those urging the pro-
posed act, there is something to be
said on the other side. There is
not wanting evidence that the Mil
itiamen and Citizens Guardmen
who shoot on Sunday have due re.
gard for the sanctity OF the day.
They go to the butts then for the
very simple reason that it is the
only time they have. If it is es-
tablished that they are violating the
law or infringing on the rights OF
others they will willingly cease the
practice. That is, THE STAR be-
lieves they will and the paper
knows most of them pretty well.
What they object to just now is be-
ing singled out as disturbers against
whom it is deemed necessary to di'
rect special agitation and legisla-
ton

"NEw PROCESS" Coal On

oLpTsTyL. The difficulty in
the past with all coal-oil stoves
has been that the means at

it impossible to place the arti

There's a method in cutting

ineficacious, Twice within the present
century the emperors of Russia were
killed by Nihilists, and little or no good
was accomplished. Moreover, Alexan-

practically worried to his grave by the
fear of assassination. Emperor Paul

was blown up by dynamite. If anything
these murders added to the burdens OF
the oppressed people of Russia.
The present plan of the leading Mill
lists is to win the freedom of Russia by
educating the masses of the people. This
is a gigantic task, for in no other nation
of the earth are the people SO complex
and numerous. According to the ce tsus
Of 1896 there are 1923, ITO, 900 people living
within the confines of the Russian en-

ART IN STAGE FALLS.
Actors Learn to Take Tumble With

."There are certain stage secrets which

said an actor lately. $50 jealousy are
these guarded that dramatic tutors alb
solutely refuse to teach them to their
own pupils, unless they are bona fide'
members Of the theatrical profession.
Among these wrinkles are the methods
of preventing conclusion in stage falls.
1.-The chief secret, quite unknown to
amateurs, lies in the trick known as in
f1ating-i. e., inhaling, while falling, a
deep inspiration of air which enormous
ly decreases the body's weight. Sarah
Bernhard, Sir Henry Irving and Beer
bohn Tree all initiate, and no artist could
otherwise fall nightly for hundreds of
performances without serious injury.
So essential is this initiation that in a
forthcoming drama, in which an actor
has to fall from a housetop to the solid
stage floor, he will wear under his cos
tune a complete suit of rubber inflated
with hydrogen gas, contrivance re-
Gently invented. Few people, by the
way, are aware that there are several

opportunities for studying falls from
soldiers shot through the heart or head
upon the battlefield. One is especially

MARK TWAIN AS A MUSICIAN
He Was Never Asked to Play and Sing
After His First Exhibition

The immortal humorist never let's all
opportunity slip to Use his peculiar logic
logic that was ever convincing, and
logic for which he is famous the world
over. An instance occurred many years
ago in Carson City, the capital of Neva-
da, where Twain spent several weeks a
an official in the legislature. That was
long before he wrote his celebrate
jumping frog story or even dreamed of
Tom Sawyer" and "Huckleberry Finn"
He was attending a swell gathering
one evening at the residence of Governor
Bradley, and toward midnight, as the
amusements began to lag, some merry
idiot spread the information around
that Sam Clemens was a great vocalist
and could accompany himself on the
piano. The very suggestion was suffi-
cient to induce Mrs. Bradley to call on
Twain in her most gracious manner.
Il tell you, my dear madame" said the
humorist, after considerable coexlng
had been spent, the kind of music /
play is entirely too classical to offer at
this hour. The guests wouldn't under
stand it. I would have been glad to
entertain you at the early stage Of the
festivities, but 1t is bad policy to play
classical music near midnight. If you
really insist, will do as you wish but
let me warn you before I q CHI the keys,
that my music will bring forth severe
criticism from most everybody in the
room. reiterate that it is over their
heads"
Without further argument the class
ical musician seated himself at the pia-
no, and, with display of gravity that
only Twain could command, began to
thump the natural with the index
finger of his right hand. He thumped
1t for nearly five minutes, and presently
remarked that the piano seemed to be
in good form and ready to stand in on a
song. He then went up an octave, and,
throwing back his head, his finger all
the time sticking to the natural c, he
sang these four words: go tell Aunt
Abbey-go tell Aunt Abbey-go tell
Aunt Abbey-go tell Aunt Abbey" He
not only stuck to his natural c, but in
termittently tossed in a few minor notes
with his voice. Without changing a
. muscle of his face he plunged right
ahead. Things were becoming monot-
onous. Several gentlemen held q
whispered conversation, and at given
signal Charley deLong, ex-minister to
Japan, and Ex-Governor Nye walked
over to the piano, and, gathering Twain
up, lugged' him out in the hall, where he
was dropped in heap.
His ejectment brought forth a howl
of approval. but he was equal to the oc-
casion, and taking his hat from the rack,
made q low bow to Mrs. Bradley and
said coldly:
Madam, told you they wouldn't I'M
derstand it. and that my playing was
over their heads. Good evening."-1l-
