A NEW PLAY.

Production Of the Writer eT Makn-
paia BY the Sea.
Miss Prescott has written a
satire, in the form of comedy, of
one act "a vaudeville), eutitled
Annexation"
Into this play, Miss Prescott
has woven three songs
ave are going to be annexed"
or, "Charming Polly" (soprano),
to the air;
"Oh, is it not vexation waiting
for annexationY" (contralto) to
an air from the opera, Gel Abrazo
de Vegara."
And, at is Miss Calculation,
this yarn of annexation" (base), to
the air -.
The leading characters are,
"Mr. and Miss Smith" iFoong
See Ang and Foong Ching), the
latter being The best soprano Of
the first class.
The Smiths have but recently
returned from Europe, and give a
reception to the entire district
(the entire school) of North Ko-
hala. The other important char
acters represent America, Maui,
Kauai, Honolulu, Multi and Ko-
hala outside"
Two marked features of this
comedy are: Miss Prescott's lit
tie kitten, Annexation" and, the
"Tea-cups."
Each of the three songs owns a
refrain: .. .... .~. ..... ...
"Chsrming Polly, Charming Polly
We are going to be annexed,
We are going to be annexed,
Charming Polly;
We are going TO be annexed,
You can market, as your text, %
We are going to be annexed, #
Charming Polly"
There is much close work to be
done at this time of the year, in
school time; and if Miss Prescott
is able to produce her play at all
IN July, it will be more in the
form of rehearsal, coming on
again in the autumn, or at Christ
mas tide, 1896. ...

TRAIN. wnlc6lsG AND ROBBERY.

The story OF the cause OF the terrible
railway wreck at Cahaba bridge.
Alabama, Oh Sunday morning appesra
almost too fiendish IN its horror to adj
NIT OF belief, 1t is difficult to realize
that even thieves, train robbers, are 80
lost to every sense OF humanity az to
wreck u trainload OF passengers for the
purpose OF securing booty, and then,
amidst the awful scene Of carnage they
had wrought, with torn and bruised
anu blteding victims of the horror, and
others being consumed by the burning
cars, to strip the bodies OF the dead and
dying of the few valuables that might
be found. But Incredible as the story
seems, because OF tho awful depth OF
human uepravsty 1t indicates, there
appears evidence in favor OF its
probability.
IL the Cahabs calamity be the work
OF trainwreckers as allie ed, then the
enormity of the crime ought to suggest
In the Older states the advisabiiiiy Of
a rule that has proved salutary
in more recently settled districts. This
is that train robbery be made n capital
olense. In the circumstance scOnnecl-
ed with tho crime it is so closely
associated with murterous intent and
probability that 1t belongs in the same
rank as murder. In those places where
death has been made the penalty
Tor train robbery, and where
the law has been enforced with
vigor, there has been marked
increase in the immunity from this
class OF lawlessness. The recent roo
berries in states where the punishment
is not 60 severe, anu this alleged train
wrecking, ought to direc. Legislative
attention to more stringent measures
for protection against this class OF
crimes.
AS TO having euch severe penalt y
attached to any ofiense, there lie an
agitation adverse to capital punish
ment In any case. Yet while the appli.
cation OF such punishment should
DO confined within rigid limits,
that possible Innocence might not bear
such burden, there are emergencies
caused by the actions Of men that, In
the experience of nations, seem to
