A-Ray Bixley. who was seen here

this happens a string attached to one OF
the two wigs he wears pulls off a lux
uriant growth of red hair, leaving only a
bald pate. On the night in question Mr.
Bixley had his audience thoroughly anus
ed and went through the performances
with unusual energy. In the front row
sat a timid looking youth with his best
girl. both intently watching the comedian.
Finally their bent led into converse ton
and the young fellow turned around TO

of the theater. His face was pale and

and looked back. But the supe holding

FRIENDS OF LAST WEEK.

When "a Paris Model was being ex-
plotted here and various good things were
being said for it some worldwise critic or
other took occasion to remark verbally
and rather vulgarly that Maud Haslam
was ''the whole show" While it is not
always best to encourage such a way of
putting a thing, it is. nevertheless, nee
essary to state that this was the case,
the whole case. and nothing but the case.
And. while its truth ceases when one
speaks of the Columbia Stock Company.
it is still a matter of general knowledge
that Miss Haslam did some work last
week in Held by the Enemy that would
have established her firmly in the regard
of those who saw her had she never done
another thing in her life. That the wo-
man who astonished local theatergoers
with the excellence of her impersonation
in the leading role of Betsy" who
broadened the surprise considerably the
following week with THE Paper Chase"
and who followed this up with some admi-
rable fun making in "a Paris Model"
could cap all three with magnificent
portrayal of heavy emotional part in
Held by the Enemy seems inconceiv-
Such versatility is not often seen, but it
does exist, and Miss Haslams assump-
ton of the role of Rachael in Ginette's
great war play was as completely with
out a flaw as the finest diamond could
have been. At times carefully light and
easy it startled with the positiveness OF
its contrasts when. in the last four acts
of the piece, ingenuousness narrowed in
to powerful and characteristic work Julia
Marlowe was never more thoroughly hu-
man than was her local contemporary
when. in the scene in the military hospi-
tai she stood over the bier that con-
tanned the living body of the man to
whom her affections were engaged AL
together hers was a wonderful portrayal
full of energy and passion, curbed only by
intelligent reading of difficult lines and
careful Interpretation of no less difficult
business. Miss Haslam evidently knew
the why of every word she uttered and
so did the audience shortly after. She
did not act the part-she lived it. Hers
was Nthe strongest among several excel
lent bits of work.
1t is with genuine pleasure that one
notes the success of a fellow-townsman
and this is doubled in the case of Edgar
Bixley. who was seen last week at Ker-
mans, because of his popularity and the
number of his friends who live here. To

Il is a very rare thing in Washington
theatricaIs to find that a plays success
warrants its retention for a second week.
and this novelty becomes accentuated
when the production is made by a stock
company. This is precisely what has
happened at the Columbia, however, the
business during the last seven perform
ances having been so big that the man
agement have determined upon postpon-
ing the announced presentation Of
Brother John" and continuing GiIlette's
great war play, Held by the Enemy"
for another week. A great number Of

geous.

OF the Uresentation The Times of last

HAWAII AT PARIS.

Hawaii will be represented at
the Paris Exposition of 1900 in
a very interesting, very attrac
tive and very effective manner.
And this without a finger having
been lifted by the now fast feet
ing government of this country.
Hubert Vos, the famous Dutch
artist who left our shores with
his amiable Hawaiian partner in
life the other day, will show the
whole world, as we'll as the Pari-
SLAMS, types Of real Hawaiian be-
ings. They are interpreted by a
penetrating artistic intellect, a
heart throbbing with sympathy
for the race, a brush
that never touches canvas
without commanding the rapt at.
tention of connoisseurs. The
kindly and vivacious features of
the gentle Hawaiian woman, the
gay and dsshing Hawaiian Minis
trel with his guitar, the happy
and careless Hawaiian lad with
eyes bullying in wonder at what
the great world is worrying about.
Such are the types, few, it may be
said, but in their treatment the
best pictorial description of Ha-
waiian character ever produced.
Mr.. Vos also carries to Paris
paintings of number of the won
derfully brilliant fishes Astounding
10 Hawaiian waters. This will at
tract alike the eye of the savant and
that of the artist. This country
could not buy the services of any
agent who could at Paris in 1900
command a 1.-THE of the interest in
Hawaii which Mr.. Vos will do
through the voluntary efforts of
his genius, stimulated as these are
by his intense personal regard for
the Hawaiian people. just as be
was leaving Honolulu, Mr.. Vos
requested that the BULLETIN
should convey an expression of
his affection for the Hawaiians,
whose kindly ways would never
be effaced from the pleasant re-
collections of his sojourn in the
islands.

TUESDAY, JULY 10, 1898.
THE SITUATION.

Hawaii has an interest in the
question as to whether the United
States will hold possession OF the
territories she captures in this war.
At the same time il cannot be
held to be a vital interest. There
is nothing in the resolution Of
annexation passed by Congress to
give the scheme any connection
with either the war or its results.
1t is the same scheme of union
that was proposed loug before
war cloud had arisen between the
United States and Spain. There
is nothing in the situation to
make it expected that the United
States is going to do else with
Hawaii than to place it upon such
a political footing as will enable
it to look forward to becoming, in
due time, qualified for admission
as a regularly constituted State.
The resolution affords not the
slightest ground that the means
prescribed in it for giving Hawaii
a form of government forthwith
will be delayed in operation to
await any possible formulation of
a colonial system by the United
States. There is little fear, either,
that anything will happen which
will leave Hawaii in any like the
same position of being NEGLECTED"
under which it has been alleged
Alaska has suffered. Hawaii will
in all probability be promptly
and properly attended to, accord,
ing to the intent of the resolution.
1t will be treated as a hitherto
sovereign state entitled to full
respect for all the capacities and
material of self government it en-
joys at the moment it's political
sovereignty passes to the Great
Republic. Also, full considera
ton will be shown, in providing
TO the regular transaction of all
its affairs, for the importance of
its industry, its commerce and its
central position in the Pacific. To
allow the islands t. become in
any degree the scene of confusion
or chaos, or misgovernment by
omission or com mission, would
be for the United States to infiict
severe injury and disgrace upon
her own national honor and repu-
talon. The same remarks would
doubtlessly prove applicable if
the United States were at this
moment, through coincidence of
events, actually framing a scheme
of government for colonial posses.
sions which might or might not
include Hawaii with the countries
wrested from Spanish rule. 1t
is simply outrageous, for anyone
