" The Shenandoah Received With
Great Enthusiasm.


Frawley has scored another sue
cess. The matinee last Saturday
was attended by huge crowd Of
people, among whom the pretty
"buds" OF Honolulu were noticeable,
and all present enjoyed the clever
manner in which The Arabian
Nights were presented. The play is
light and amusing, and all those
taking a part in the play we're greet
ed with loud applause by the audi
ence,
In the evening the heavy" war
play, shenandoah" was presented.
Military spectacular dramas gener-
ally take with the ordinary theatre
going public, and the crowding of
the theatre on Saturday night show
cd that the Honolulu public is no
exception to the rule.
Shenandoah" is play of su-
perior character to most OF the
"blood aud thunder" affairs seen on
the stage here. The plot is clever,
the scenery is brilliant, and the act
ing was very creditable all through.
Guns, powder, "real" soldiers,
girls, death, shooting and a real
horse what more is needed to draw
tears and applause from Honolulu
audience. II bicycle incident
could have been worked into the
play, the Shenandoah would have
been even more Of a bowling success
than it justly was on Saturday.
Tomorrow very pretty, refined
comedy, the Railroad of Love" will
be presented and full house should
witness the excellent play.

How Many Accidents

Honolulu, NoU. 92, 1897
are caused annually by de-
fective harness? Many lives
and much valuable property
are lost and damaged almost
daily through the selection OF
imperfect horse gear.
The only preventive is to
select your harness from deal
ers of experience, men who
test before they buy and can
consequently guarantee what
they sell and by judicious
selection place it on the mar
ket cheaper than others.

INvEsTIG ATIoN NEEDED.

"Are the Hawaiian mails tamper-
ed with?'. is question which is
frequently addressed to us by men
whose political standing as oppo-
nents OF the present regime is we'll
known.
Many complaints have been ad
vanced, claiming that private letters
are opened and read by officials un-
der instructions from Mr.. Dole's
government. II is fact that dur.
ing the martial law period of 1895 the
letters addressed to the numerous
suspects" confined IN Dole's prison
we're opened and read by meu like
Hitchcock, Kinney, Castle, Water
house and others who ought to have
known better.
The opening Of such private let
ters presumably by the sanction OF
the Minister of Finance, who is he
chief Of the Postal Department,
might have been excused by the In
ternational Postal Union and the
matter might have been allowed to
drop as far as the Postal service was
concerned; and the redress to the
people, whose letters were violated
referred TO their respective govern
ments
At the present moment wa see no
excuse at all to pursue the policy Of
1896, and tampering with mail
ought now to receive the immediate
and forcible attention Of all coun-
tries which have allowed Hawaii TO
enter the Postal Union.
A different policy, however, has
evidently been adopted by the men
who run the Postal Department.
prominent citizen who has re-
sided here for many years, received
letter few day ago from Wash
ington. The letter was delivered in
condition which should be thor
oughly investigated by our officials
1t is outrageous that an important
document addressed in the plaiuest
typewrting on the envelope should
be mailed at Washington on October
80, and be delivered opened to the
addressed in Honolulu in the middle
OF November
We understand that the attention
of Minister Damon has been called
to the matter and we feel assured
that he will leave no stone unturned
in making complete investigation,
Unfortunately for Hawair such
things don't happen in other coun-
tries admitted to the Great Postal
Union, and we believe that repeti-
tion of this peculiar accident may
lead to disagreeable, if not damag-
ing results to Hawaii's Postal De,
partment,
Our Postal Department is carried
ON in a most excellent manner and
the public is satisfied with the ser
vices OF the employees who attend
to routine business. 1t will be a
great pity if investigation should
prove that there is an "inner ring
at work aud that the sanctity ol
letters is being tampered with in
sn "npper circle"

says that ,he Senator is raising un
necessary issues. The Senator il an
old poltician-he never was
statesman-aud having been on Ha-
waiian soil aud met the men who

not on the flood tide that leads to

The fact is that the Senator kept
his eyes and ears open while under
the surveillance Of his over otficious
friends here, and heard and saw
some things which convinced him
that the Hawaians do not desire
annexation. When the opposition
OF Hawaiians once finds Judgement
in the minds Of the people of the
United States then annexation is a
dead issue. Our authority for this
last statement is from Mr.. Dole's
most loyal supporters.

KING soLoMoN's RECEPTION.

 An Event In Masonic Circles Which Will
 Long Be Remembered.
 An event of more than passing interest to the Masonic fraternity was the visit of Most Worshipful Grand Master James A. Bilbro, of the grand lodge of Alabama, to King Solomon lodge, No. 460, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons.
 General invitations had been issued and preparations made so that every one of the twenty lodges in Jefferson county, be- sides many others, were represented and a most cordial welcome, probably never before equalled in Birmingham, was &C., corded the most worshipful grand mas ter. It was in keeping with the exalted position of the visitor and testimony to an exemplary man and Mason.
 The Master Masonic degree was confer red in ample form, after which the lodge was called from labor to refreShment, when a most pleasant social session and interchange of fraternal greetings took place. It was an hour of brotherly inter- course, enjoyed to the fullest extent, and will serve as reminder for many days of the fraterlal tie that binds In an in- dissoluble link.
 After partaking of refreshments, Most ofshipful Grand Master BilTbro ad- dressed the brethren on the duties in- cumbent on all Masons, clearly defining them, and spoke at length on the objects and aims of the fraternity.
 The cordial manner in which his re- marks were received and the close atten- tio1 with which they were followed at tested the value of the advice and fra ternai solicitation of the speaker.
 Right Worshipful Senior Grand War den R. M. Cunningham was also present and participated in the exercises to the edfication of the craft. -~
 King Solomon's lodge is composed of some of our best citizens, and can with justice be proud of Tuesday nights work. An early repetition is looked forward to with plasant anticipations.
