SWEET ANCELINE
Enters the Arena With
Siby1 on Aigrettes.
Wants to Know Why Artificial
Ones Can't be
Made.

| MY DEAR SIBYL:-DO, if for a, mo-
ment only, lend me your ears" Why
speak impulsively but the less seri-
ously, why, in the name of the Goddess
of Beauty, doesn't some milliner invent
and furnish to our aesthetic public a
substitute (and it must be a good one).
for the aigrette?
Now, I'll begin at the beginning.
Ouida, Life" the editor of the Ad-
vertiser, and your wise self, denOunce
the wearers of aigrettes as thought
| less or heartIess. Perhaps ignorance,
rather than thoughtlessness is the plea
covering my otherwise shameless head
which has for years, fashion permitting
or not, been adorned by aigrettes. AS
| a specialist in economics and philOSO-
| ply rather than in orthodoxy, I con-
! TESS, my knowledge of the feathered
tribe has been confined chiefly TO my
nahs, canaries, and birds in poetry.
| None of these wearing airgrettes, so
| far as l have observed, have assOci-
ated such plumes with human adOrn-
ments solely, and have supposed them
artificial. The dead birds in milliners'
| windows have always been to me a de-
sight of live birds in cages; yet it is
true that the production of ready
made garments, with a more than pos
sible background of vile tenements,
starvation wages, and perhaps sin, has
wrought upon my feelings and Opin-
ions to the exclusion of the suffering
bird producers.
An education in ethics and social
economics plus an inherited New Eng
land conscience, gives, l assure you,
Sibyl, result uncOmfOrtab BILE to live
with, particularly if it is locked up in
ones own breast. Recent information
concerning the source of aigrettes coup
led with with unSparing denunciatiOn
of their human wearers has, of course,
been too much for my mental compO-
sure, and a convinced and sympathetic
mind has caused a ruthless dismanJling
of my hats and bOnnets. Their present
appearance is far from pleasing, and
an aesthetic eye, hence appeal to you.
You know my short stature and Sc
verify Of conference.-the necessity
Of lofty headgear, the need of some
thing to soften the otherwise hard eff
feet of my angular jaw, prominent
nose, glasses and hair disinclined to
curl. Put me into stiff hat with rib
bon bows, or quilts (and why aren't
they and ostrich pIumes Objectionable,
toO?) with nothing to relieve the severe
lines, and you have an abhOrred lack
OF that feminine attractiveness every
sensible woman ought to desire and
have. Are artificial aigrettes of deli
cacy and fineness to be had, or can they
be made? Investigate, Sibyl, dear; it is
right in your line.
l must now don my cOnscientiOusly
dismantled hat, and attend a meeting
of the Village Improvement Society,

"A COMEDY NIGHT
Capital Performance by the FraW-
ley Company.
" THE TWO ESCUTCHEONS.'
Favorites Win New LaLreIs-A
Splendid Cast OF
Characters.

The Two Escutcheons" was adapt
ed from the German by Sydney ROs-
enfield. The piece is based on the
feeling of antagonism that exists in
Europe between the democratic and
aristocratic classes, and it also depicts
in a pleasing style what balm for all
family ills is the almighty American
dollar. The Chicago pork packer, OF
course. holds the dollars, and he is
ready to put up cash for his daughter,
but to carry out the story the father OF
the man with a title objects to pork
packers daughters figuring in the line
of ancestry. Mary Foster, the daugh-
ter of one of the pOrkers of Chicago,
while travelling IN Germany under the
chaperonage of Mrs. Stevenson, an
American widow, wins the affections OF
Rudolph Won Wettengen, a scion Of
German nobility. The affection is of
the true and lasting character, but
when the young man notifies his
father, the Baron, there is war in the
family camp. 1t strikes horror to the
heart of parental nobility that their son
should seek to marry the daughter OF
"a butcher a bologna sausage maker
with nothing but money.
Finally, when things are at the worst
Mr. Foster arrives on the scene most
unexpectedly. The young widow ar
ranged a meeting between the fathers
involved, and the fun reaches its high
est pitch. The Baron attempts to i'm
press upon the man from Chicago the
remarkable grandeur of his family an
tiquity. Foster is decidedly haZy on
these points, and INDUCES in numer-
Gus tits with the German, who is as
pigheaded as his American friend. At
last Foster forms the idea that matters
would run better if he returned to his
business The Baron also inclines
to the opinion that he might as we'll
drop his opposition. At the same time,
the young couple decide to betake
themselves out of the reach of warning
parents. The climax comes when they
all meet in the reception room pre-
pared for immediate departure.

AS Capt. Won Vinck Mr.. Worthing
had opportunities which marks him,
Individually, the best leading man seen
in Honolulu for a decade. His every
action, from the manner of his yawn-
ing to the way in which he drew him
self across the floor, showed how thor
oughly he was imbued with the feeling
of the part he played. He showed, al
so, his capabilities in the comedy line.
In his scenes with the widow there
was a bit of merriment in every syl-
liable of his speech and in every ges-
ture. His scene, too, with the self
made Chicagoan was a clever bit of
acting.
\ Much in the play devolves upon Mr..
Arbuckle as the Baron Won Wettengen;
indeed, the cast last night was so filled
with capable players that it would be
difficult to distinguish where the lead
ends and the minor parts begin. Mr.
Arbuckle was the type of the digni-
fed Baron, who would naturally object
to having his escutcheon besmeared
with lard. The pompous voice and his
strut belonged to the character, and
Mr.. Arbuckle's capabilities admirably
fitted them. His scenes were all good,
but there was nothing better than in
reciting to the pork packer the gene
aology of the Won Wettengen family
though the audience was slow to no
tice the humor.
Mr. Frawley has ease in delivering
his lines, and gave careful rendition
of Rudolph, the Baron's son. The part
is not quite so important as one would
imagine a man of Mr.. Frawley's tai
ents would have assigned to him, but
it is said, in Frawley's company there
are so many stars that they must needs
change the plays often, so that all
may be accommodated. Mr.. Frawley
will be seen to better advantage later
in the season.
Comedy always goes we'll in HOnolu-

dian who so thoroughly understands
his art of making people laugh that
it is unnecessary for him to go to ex-

of expressing it in a way that the au-
dience discovered traces of humOr, and
if the field was directly open for a
laugh he produced it without once
overstepping the bounds. There is
about him that reminds one

f. Marion Crawford, the novelist,
who has met many Armenians in the
east, says Of them II doubt whether
they are the innocent, confding, inof-
fensive Christians that the American
people believe them to be. My expert
ence with them is that they are the
sharpest, shrewdest and trickiest of all
the eastern people. They say in Turkey
that it takes ten Jews to equal one Ar
menian and five Armenians to equal
one Persian in sharp business dealings.
They have many able men among them.
and doubt nos that their leaders have
to certain extent fomented this trou-
BILE, hoping that the governments of
Europe would interfere and that Arme-
MIA would be entirely freed from Turk
ish rule. -
In regard to the Turks he says: 81
would rather trade with Turk or O
Jew in any part of the east than with a
Christian. l have the highest respect
for Christianity, but the Christians OF
the east are not like us. Tho business
men among them are to l.rge extent
a set Of sharpers, so much - that the
words oriental Christian in lie minds Of
eastern travellers is almost synonymous
with that of thief The Turks are, as g
rule, very devout Nearly all of them
read the Koran, and even the men Of
the better classes are careful to conform
to the details of everyday Mohammedar
worship. New York Tribune.

In Santiago.

Santiago is the ancient capital OF
Cuba. 1t islands on sloping ground at the
head of a magnificent land locked har-
Dor, and all around, in an amphitheater,
are mountains and forests-a lovely
place, but a fatal one for the Spanish
soldiers. The town itself is whited
sepulcher. The streets are narrow, and
the place filthy beyond all words; the
heat is only varied by tropical showers,
which fall every afternoon through the
summer and autumn months--rain SO
heavy that in a very few minutes the
streets sloping down to the bay are like
muddy mountain streams, carrying with
them all kinds Of refuse and rubbish.
Everywhere the yellow fever is abroad.
but it is particularly deadly among the
Spanish troops How many die is never
made known; the dead are carried away
and buried by night, and in one hospital
hole was cut in the wall facing the
burial ground, that the soldiers outside
might not see the nightly professions.
The Spanish soldiers stalk about the
streets in their dirty white linen uni
forms and big straw hats, looking pale
and thin; they are badly fed. and suffer
every kind of privation. Boys for the
most part under 90, they are unaccus-
toned to the climate, and by exposure
are made unfit to battle with it. Con

They Are Sure to Languish When Deprived
OF Their Diet OF Meat.
1t has been proved time and again
that the SO called "cannibal plants. Of
which the Venus fly trap is the type.
are much more healthy when allowed
their regular insect food than when
they are reared under netting or in any
other manner which excludes them
from their regular meat diet. The above
is an oddity of itself. especially when
we consider the fact that there is certain
school of botanists which teaches that
cannibal plants make no use whatever
of the insect prey captured by them, but
it is nothing compared with the bold
assertion made by Francis Darwin.
That noted scientific gentleman brayely
meets the vegetarian botanist" with
the assertion that all kinds and classes
of plants, whether known as "ineaters"
or not, bear more and heavier fruits
and seeds when fed on meat than those
that are not allowed flesh diet. He
grew two lots, comprising various vari-
cites of the different common plants.
One lot was regularly fed, through
their roots of course, with pure juices
compressed from meat, the other with
water aud the various fertilizers. The
final figures on this experiment proved
that the plants which were fed pure
meat juice bore 1853 fruits of the differ
emit kinds, while the unfed plants Of
the same number and original condition
bore bat "a also. that the pampered
