For Oharity's Sake.

The entertainment given at the
Opera House on Saturday night for
the benefit OF the Strangers Friend
Society was great success.
The house was we'll filled and the
different numbers OF the program
were enjoyed by all present Not a
word OF adverse criticism has been
heard, and that is something un-
usual for Honolulu show.
After an overture by Captain
Berger's band, sixteen young ladies
presented a scarf dance, which was
in graceful and elegant manner,
and being something very new was
received by the audience with en-
thusiasm. The scarf dance or fan
tastics, or whatever you please to
call his revelry in white crepe and
pretty girls should be seen, it can
not be described. The most inter.
esting point in it was, that not one
of the girls opened their pretty
little mouths to say a word during
the twenty minutes the act lasted.
Fancy, 16 girls together for twenty
minutes without talking.
Miss Cartwright read very clever
synopsis of E. Z. Dole's standby"
and the ability of the young lady as
orator aud elocutionist was recog-
nized at once. Miss Cartwright is
evidently very talented young
lady, who it 10 hoped will often
assist in the future in the refined
entertainments, OF which Honolulu
Justly feels proud.
Mr., Lampert, the pianist, and
Professor Yarndley, accompanied
by Miss Clymer, rendered some very
fine music during the evening.
The last number on the program
we're three tableaux arranged by
Miss Cartwright. They were very
pretty, indeed, the subjects selected
being "Niobegroup," death of Vir-
ginia," and dance Of the Nurses"
A vary fashionable audience was
present The Irwin box was occu-
pied by President and Mrs. Dole
and some friends, among whom we're
the Princess Kaiulani, Mr.. Cleghorn,
Marshal and Mrs. Brown, and Mrs.
Eben Low
The proceeds OF the entertain
ment will make welcome addition
to the treasury Of the Strangers
Friend Society

How valuable it W ould be for us
ignorant declasses if the erudte
author of those marvellously learned
treatises in the Star, in opposition
to a monarchicsl form Of govern
ment, would kindly wade through a
few more encyclopaedia tones in
his library, and instruct his poor
benighted readers how it is that in
the little played-out country having
Yankee twist in its Lions tail,
with which he was once temporarily
affiliated, the flowing tide of turbu-
lent democracy and even intelligent
repu blicansm of our childhood Of
fifty years ago has been first stemmed
and then turned into strong ebb
of almost undivided popular fervor
in favor of monarchical institutions.
Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, the erst-
while radical and republican, and
now the would-be cementer of the
Empire, is espoused to an American
republican, and yet she is favorite
with the Queen Empress, and Mr..
Chamberlain himself is generally re-
garded as fairly intelligent man,
although he has the temerity to dif
fer from the autucratical essayist OF
the Star. OF course climatic differ
ences may account for differences in
mental gymnastics, aud according
to homeopathic doctrines hot heads
should flourish in warm climates
