Groceries In Brooklyn.

Nowhere are the grocery stores thick
er than in Brooklyn. On many Of the
main arteries of traffic one will find cor
ner after corner occupied by grocery
store, with often one or two grocers in
the middle OF the same block. And
they all seem to thrive. New York city
boasts a more luxurious class of people
than the average Brooklyn grocer sup
plies, but the standard of living on the
average is higher in the City Of Church
es than elsewhere, and the grocers sell
better average quality of goods there.
Originality is not a common virtue in
Brooklyn grocerdom, however, nor is it
frequently met with anywhere else, for
that matter, but in the City of Church
es Ga more appropriate name would be
the City of Grocers) one is led to look
for greater variety of store decoration
and display of goods and in methods of
doing business from the simple fact
that most of the establishments are so
neat and clean and the goods SO attract

a week of the expiration of the period
during which the wedding must take
place.
Under the will, unless the marriage
takes place, the fortune falls to Mr..
Barker, an old gentleman with fond
ness for dogs. In the beginning of the
scene he announces his intention of
founding an asylum for insane dogs,
provided the young folks do not wed.
During the years which Miss Mari
gold and Cashmere have been separat-
ed Cupid has been idle, and they find
on meeting that the fulfiIlment of a
marriage engagement is preposterous.
The lady develops a spitfire temper,
and the man considers the alliance
would result in no good to either. At
the first meeting they each formerly
renounce all claim to the fortune, then
Cashmere gracefully destroys Miss
Marigold's paper and leaves her prac-
fire from financial yoke, they begin
again, and before they are aware the
old love is rekindled and the story
ends with the dogs being deprived of
an asylum. Mr.. Barker, being a very
nice old gentleman without impecuni-
Gus motives, congratulates the couple,
and the story ends prettily.
Miss McGrew, as Florence Marigold,
was particularly strong in the scenes
where it was necessary for display
of disgust at the proposed marriage
and as we'll in her scene with Bar
ker (R. L. Scott), where she scorned
his attempt at matchmaking. A very
pretty bit of playing was that part Of
the act where she and Capt. Cashmere
George c. Potter renounce their re-
spective rights to the fortune. For the
moment each seemed anxious to show
their disregard for money, and to
prove how little they cared for 1t, they
were willing to throw it to the dogs.
Without making an exhibition of it,
the author depends upon the audience
to realize that there is a soft spot IN
the hearts of these young folks for
each other, and both Miss McGrew
and Maj. Potter show it just enough
in this scene. Prior to it, however,
where he finds a mans photograph IN
Miss Marigold's work basket, there was
room for a little more feeling than
Mr.. Potter manifested; his ardor was
apparently constrained Again, when

"MY UNCLE'S WILL" AND "JANE"

The second night of the opening fes-
tival at the New Hawaiian Opera
House was a repetition of the successes
which greeted the opening night, when
I'll Trovatore'' was the attraction.
From the time the curtain went up
on my Uncle's WIFI until the close
there was a continual round of ap-
plause.
The lower part of the house was
filled with representative citizens, and
was quite the social success as the
opera. The entire arrangements were
in the hands of r. L. Scott, and the
plays were produced as perfectly as
could have been done by any profess
sional company. The applause at the
end of the acts was so spontaneous and
hearty as to require the curtain to be
raised three or four times before the
audience was satisfied to let the play
go on. The production was pro-
nOunced by Melville Marx, agent for
the Frawley Company, to be the best
he had ever witnessed by local talent
The applause was brought out through
the real merit of the players, rather
than from the fact that they were
simply local society people.
The success was such that num-
Der of those expressed a desire to have
it repeated, and it is probable the COM
pany will yield to the demand and re-
peat the performance Saturday night.
There were numberless baskets of
flowers passed over the footlights, the
gentlemen receiving an equal share
with the ladies. Both plays were new
to Honolulu, and to those who were
not present it may be said great treat
was missed.
Each of the plays produced had
plots, which, except among the old
English comedies, is an unknown guam
tity in the average society play of the
present. In the curtain-raiser the au-
dience must gather it from the lines of
the actors; to carry much through

William have formed an attachment
for each other, and just before the
scene opens are secretly married.
Shakelton has rich old uncle, Mr..
Kershaw, who lives out of town, and
who has provided the young man with
f1 200 a year, believing he is married
and the father of child. Suddenly,
and with threatening disaster to young
Shakelton, the old gentleman decides
to visit him in his London house, and
it is necessary to provide himself with
a wife; the baby was overlooked.
Among his acquaintance are Mrs.
Chadwick, "an ancient and honorable"
and Miss Martin, the latter with an
eye to winning him for husband, and
the former open to a proposition. 1t
happens that at the time the message
is received from Kershaw both the
ladies are calling on the young man,
and he asks them in turn to become
his wife for a day, and both resent
what they consider an insult. At this
moment Jane appears and accepts the
job in consideration of f100 and a
complete outfit of hats, dresses and
jewelry. When William hears of it,
his jealousy shows itself, and his fears
are allayed only when he learns from
Jane that the money will buy bakery
for them.
Jane appears on the scene later,
dressed in an electric blue serge, with
white satin vest and red velvet reveres.
Her hat is a French dream in red and
green straw, trimmed with red and
pink roses and violets. William again
shows his dislike for the arrangement
his wife has made with his master.
During James shopping tour Mrs.
Chadwick returns TO the house, and
is persuaded by William to act as the
wife for the day. and conceals her in
a side room, and when Mr.. Kershaw
arrives she is introduced as Shakel-
toms wife. The meeting of the ladies

they sit together on the sofa, there was
room for little more enthusiasm in
their love-making, if the writer under
stood the play. Miss McGrew's act
ing disclosed symptoms of sorrowful
regret at the turn affairs had taken,
and she did it well, and it's merely a
suggestion to say that little more
feeling infused at this point would
have added to the effect of the scene.
The part is difficult one, and it is
doubtful if it could have been better
portrayed, even by professional
The changes, from heat to cold in her
treatment of Cashmere was a capital
bit of acting and marks Miss McGrew
as one of the foremost of amateurs on
the dramatic stage in Honolulu She
dressed the part well, and at no time
overdid it.
AS Barker, Mr.. Scott played the
part of the decripit old man in the most
excellent manner. The part is not one
which calls for great exhibition of the
actors talents, consequently Mr.. Scott
had little opportunity to display his
ability. His makeup was suited ex-
actIy to the character of the man he
represented, and his part, while re-
plete with comic situations, was at all
times free from buffoonery.
The play, as a whole, was pleasing,
and the stage setting as complete in
detail as would be found in any the
alter in the United States.
In the comedy of Jane" which fol-
lowed the curtain-raiser, the audience
had ample opportunity of measuring
the talent and histrionic ability of the
best amateur actors in the city. The
story is funny and provides a number
of Iudicrous situations throughout the

CLEVELAND, Aug 22.-Arrangements
are completed for the great encamp-
ment of the uniformed rank Knights Of
Pythias which begins here today. This
will be the largest gathering of Pyth-
ians ever seen in Ohio, if not in the
country. When the meetings of the
supreme lodge were transferred from
st. Paul to this city, because Of the rail
way COMPANIES refusing to make salts
factory rates, it was decided to hold the
encampment of the Ohio brigade here
in conjunction with the supreme lodge
meeting and an invitation was extended
to all the brigades i'll the supreme do
main to participate. 1t is now assured
that at least $4,000 knights in uniform
will be here, 1000 of them being Ohio
members of the order.
The encampment is to be held in a
field at the corner of Payne avenue and
Perry street, where 1000 tents will have
been pitched when the encampment
opens. The encampment will last dur
ing all of next week. The events of the
week will be the grand parade on Tues
day, competitive drill on Thursday and
the awarding OF prizes on Friday. The
supreme lodge will meet on Tuesday
next in Pythian temple. The supreme
council, the governing body of the uni
form rank, will hold an assembly dur
ing the encampment on the camp
grounds. There will also be meetings
Of the two auxiliary Pythian societies,
the Rathbone Sisters and the Pythian
Sisterhood, both of which orders will be
represented by large number of dele
gates.
The imperial palace, dramatic order,
knights of Khorassen, which is COM
posed of representatives from various
temples, while not Pythian order, is
only composed of Knights of Pythias.
1t will hold a session beginning next
Monday. The Khorassen knights will
give an illuminated parade on Wednes-
day night, the procession moving
through all the business streets. This
will be a fantastic pageant, very much
like those usually given by the MOBILES
of the Mystic Shrine. The parade
usually begins at midnight, but it is
proposed to have this one start at
O'Clock or earlier in the evening.

GREAT AMERICAN PRIVILEGE.
Political Discussions on the street Must
Not BE Denied.

Not Be Denied.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 22.-For 10 days
a great crowd has collected OH the post
Office corner discussing the financial
question of the present campaign The
discussion frequently lasted until mid
night, and as fast as one speaker wear
led another filed the gap. The police
made numerous and futile efforts to
scatter the disputants and finally made
several arrests.
Twice the cases came before Judge
Cox OF the city court, and the last time
with much impotence he discharged
the defendants, holding there was no
decision by any court, high or low,
where it is held that man violates the
law by discussing political topics i'll the
street.
ION the contrary" continued the
court, 'all Of the decisions are the other
way. The right Of free speech is fun
damental in our constitution and must
not be denied. No police force can stop
it, 1t is the right of American citizens
This is the time when perplexing ques-
tons are puzzling the people. They are
questions of vital Importance to the
common people. 1t is only by ample
discussion of the questions to confront
them that they can learn properly to
exercise their right of franchise. They
have the right to discuss these questions
and the court will protect them"
The court also criticized the policy of
the police in interfering with these
street corner talks by using the ordi
nance against sidewalk obstruction as
an engine of oppression. He warned
the officers that further arrests would
be useless as the defendants would not
be punished.
The financial debates are still being
held

RELIGIOUS EXCITEMENT.
One Convert Becomes Delirious in the
Frenzy Of Worship.

FRANKFORT, Ind, Aug. 22.-The Free
Methodists have been conducting meet
ings i'll tent in this city for the past
two months. Great excitement has pre-
vailed, the meetings frequently lasting
until near morning. AS a result Of re-
ligious excitement Bert Troutman, %
years old, who has been a regular at
tendant and worker, became violently
insane about 1 o'clock yesterday morn
ing while the meeting was in progress.
Running out of the tent he climbed u
tree, out of which he was finally coaxed
and taken to Jail.
Mrs. Mershon, a travelling trance
evangelist, is conducting another tent
meeting at Burlington, near here, about
100 persons having joined. These con-
verts, after the adjournment of the reg
ular meeting in the tent, assemble in
the fields and woods in the vicinity and
continue their peculiar style of worship
until the morning hours. Much anxiety
is felt by the friends of the participants,
and many such cases as that of Bert
Troutman is expected as a result.

LOCKOUT TERMINATED.
Such Is the Meaning OF the Glass Factories
shutdown at Pittsburg.


PIrTsBURG, Aug. 22.-Notices were
posted yesterday in the South Side fac
tories of the United States Glass COM
pany now operating, announcing an in
definite shutdown. Individual notices
were given the nonunion workmen en-
ployed by the company since it locked
out the American flint glass workers
union members, three years ago, that
their services would not likely be need
ed again, and in the absence of definite
assurance of future employment, the
men were advised to take work else
where if they can find it.
This may mean the beginning of the
end of one Of the greatest industrial
conflicts ever fought in this country and
it is probable that the factories of the
company throughout the country will
be open again to union workmen and
the long lockout terminated. This will
be only possible, however, in the event
that the company restores the wage rate
and working conditions in force prior to
July, 1893.
The notice of dismissal was wholly
unexpected by the nonunion men and
has greatly angered them. The ma
jority of the employees were brought
from points outside of Pittsburg and
they are in poor shape to stand loss Of
work for any length of time.

A Disordered Mind.

WINCHESTER, o., Aug. 22.-After a
thorough investigation by the authori-
ties at Mount Oreb, Brown county, it
appears that the recent statement made
by Mrs. Margaret Driver on her death
bed that she murdered her youngest
son, and with the assistance of rela-
tive threw the body into an old unused
we'll which they afterwards filed up,
was the result of Mrs. Drivers mind be-
ing unbalanced by grief over the young
mans disappearance about seven years
ago. No trace of the body could be dis
covered in the we'll
