The Opera House was new, and to
most Honolulu people the Frawley
Company was new; for that reason,
the patronage received was large, so
large, in fact. that on the Saturday
night when THE Ensign was produced,
Mr. Frawley, in bowling his acknowl-
edgements to the audience. said it was
the best, from a financial standpoint,
that the company had ever played to-.
Mr. Frawley and his managers came
here for what money there would be
in it; it was not to be expected that
he would have any other motive. His
visit in September neXt-should he
come-will be for the same reason. l
cannot see any obligation on the part
of the Honolulu public to wait for
Frawley if there is an opportunity to
see any other first-class company, and
| if the managers of Eastern theaters
hold out inducements to Frawley, why
the Honolulu public should stand in
the way Of his making money by TAX
ing advantage of the offers.
The receipts for the season of the
Frawley Company were, approximate
ly. $4,000 for Is performances, and the
prices charged were from so to IS per
cent above those charged by the same
company in San Francisco. This be-
ing the case, I question whether the
company could do better anywhere else
for the same number of performances
than it did in Honolulu.
Mr.. Marx charges harsh treatment
because the amusement company ne
gotiated with the Alcazar Company
after failing to make satisfactory ar
rangements with him for the Fraw-
leys I really fail to discern that he
| has made out his case His letter was
plainly intended for publication, and
with the motive of bringing discredit
upon the local amusement company
a point in which l earnestly hope he
will not succeed.
Mr.. Marx says the critics con,
slider his company the best organ
| ization in America. That is
point I will not argue with him. II
my opinion, there are Others" and a!
theater-goer of almost 40 years
standing. permit me to say that theat
rical combinations, like those man
aged by Augustin DAILY, the Frohmans
A. NJ. Palmer, Mansfield or August Pi
tou, organized to play the large citie
of America, and who appear in Lon
don, thus facing the critics of the oil
world and the new, have greater claim
for superiority than those who play il
limited circuits. Do not understand
me, Mr.. Editor, as wishing to depre
cate the capabilities of the Frawle,
Company. With my family, I attends
every performance but one at whicl
the company appeared in Honolulu
and was satisfied with my investment
but still l believe am justified in say
ing, l believe there are others" whel
Mr. Marx claims so much for his com
pany.
The amusement company is organic
ed to provide entertainment for Homo
lulu folk, and it is the intention of tn
Executive Committee to secure MI
Goodwin or the AlcaZar Company.
From comments by the great critic
Peter Robertson, as well as others O
the California press, I feel confiden
that the public will be as well Statistic
with the Alcazar Company as it woul
be with either Mr.. Goodwin or MI

Few Comments By Playgoer Who
Objects.
Mr.. EDITOR:-The publication of a
letter in Saturdays Star, said to have
been written by Melville Marx, of the
Frawley Company, has opened the
eyes of the people of Honolulu to the
narrowness of the mans character.
But this letter of Mr.. Marks is rather
misleading in two specific instances,
i. e., the standing of the Frawley Com
pany in the United States from dra-
matte standpoint, and the philan-
throphy of Messrs. Gottloeb, Fried
lander and Marx. Philanthropy does
not figure largely in the analysis of a
theatrical managers composition.
But permit to go back a few months
The partial arrangements for the ap-
pearance of the Frawley Company at
the Opera House last year were made
/ have been informed, by Mr.. Hoogs;
later, the full need fell to Mr.. Giffard
of Irwin & Co., and Mr. Hoogs, instead
of being manager, was relegated to
secondary position-possibly several
degrees removed from secondary. Mr..
Marx, in order that he might feel the
pulse of the people, and be in touch
with the play-going public of Homo
lulu, came here several weeks in adj
vance of his company. His first move
on the board was for a guarantee. not
openly, mark you, but in a quiet way.
His sum, as l remember hearing him
mention it at the Hawaiian Hotel. was
$4,000. He, placed his expenses at ST.
600 on the season. but was willing to
assume the other $4,000. The guaran-
tee as direct fund was not forthcom-
ing; then a sale of season tickets was
opened, resulting, the first day, in the
unprecedented sum of $4,000 being re-
ceived at the box Office. Tickets were
not issued, but each purchaser signed
a contract. The inference from this
was, that if the sale had not been large
the company might not have appeared

the Frawley Company to begin their

they had been, for their arrival. ey-
pressed desire to witness his per-

usual generous motives, said: mo"
and it was not until an indignation
meeting was arranged for and Mr..
Marx saw a loss staring him in the
face that he yielded and permitted Mr..
Goodwin and his company to occupy
the boards before the arrival of the
Frawleys. Some people were unchari-
table enough to say that Mr.. Marx re-
eeived a bonus of $3.50 for his permits
sion. and as it has never been contra
dicted, the general public is willing to
believe the truth of the rumor. A lit

odd Fellows who, with everybody else in
terested in laudable purposes, will be glad to
learn that the new odd Fellows Orphans
Home, located between Shamokin and Sun
bury, is expected to be in full operation by
April 1st next. at least, such is the plan of
the association, and every possible effort will
be made to carry it out. A meeting of the
directors was held in Sunbury on Friday.
John l.. Miller, Of Sunbury, was elected
superintendent of the Home and his wife as
matron. Their salaries were fixed at six
hundred and two hundred dollars per year
respectively. The secretary's salary was
made three hundred dollars. The time of
opening the Home came up for much discus
sion, and it was finally decided that all
necessary work about the building and
grounds should be started at once and pushed
to rapid completion, so that orphans could be
received on April 1st or as near that date as
possible Many Of the Odd Fellows Of Cen
tral Pennsylvania, to whom the Home be-
longs, favor a demonstration to mark the
opening, and it is more than likely that de-
finite action will be taken soon on the
subject.

On account of several cases of typhoid
fever having occurred in Tamaqua, and in ac-

Board Of Health, Robert II. Pitfeld assist
ant state bacteroogist, has examined the

Owl Creek and Rabbit Run, and made re-
port in which he states that Owl Creek
reservoir is excellently located and its water
is very good. In its present condition the
water may be considered safe. The Rabbit
Ruu Reservoir and water are but fair in
deed the water might be considered sus-
picious In view of the fact that typhoid
fever is a comparatively rare disease in Ia
maqua, the public water supply can at
present hardly be considered the in1icting
medium. However, since the Rabbit Run
water is suspicious, and since the Owl Creek
can supply the towns needs alone, he recon-
mends that the Rabbit Run water be not

Reported.

A New Reading Route vim Fountain springs
Reported
II comes to us from excellent authority,
saws the Ashland Telegram, that the Phila-
delphia & Reading Railway Company have
under serious consideration two very i'm
portant plans for the relief of the crowded
condition of traffic on the Little SchuylSill
branch of the road One of these plans is the
double tracking of the road from ST. Nicholas
to Port Clinton, and the other the constiuc-
tion of a new line to be run from this side
Of Gordon via Fountain Springs, TO point
below Frackvile where it viii connect with
the line TO Palo Alto. In case of the execu-
ton of either of these plans it would result
in doing away with the planes at Gordon and
at Mahanoy Plane.
To run a route to Fmckville via Fountain
Springs is not a new idea, as such a route was
considered and surveys for the same made
years ago, and rairoaders in this vicinity
have thought for some time that it was one
of the possibilities of the future. In the past
week P. & R. engineers have been quietly
at work in this vicinity, and especially in
the valley between Gordon and Fountain
Springs, and it is the belief Of many that
the line herein mentioned will soon be con-
structed.
Such a route would have many advantages
over the present one Itwould do away with
heavy grades, and many sharp curves and
above ali it would save the constant expense
Of keeping the planes in repair 1t would
also lessen the haul by a number Of miles
While we are not ready to say with authority
that tho Reading has decided upon either OF
these plans we are assured that they are now
being considered, and we would not be sur
