BURNING GOALS.

The good people OF Honolulu are
gathering burning Goals on the heads
of the soldiers of Uncle Sam, who
don't like Hawaii, but nevertheless
enjoyed the turkeys, cranberries and
lemonades furnished by our pretty
girls yesterday.
We draw the line however when
the courtesies of our people are res
ponded to by the "Army" pouring
burning Goals over our little city.
Early this morning the U. S. coal
pile near the warehouse OF 7. H.
Davies & Co. and the Sailors Home,
was reported on fire. Chief Hunt
Of the Fire Department rushed at
once to the spot, but was not invited
to take hand in extinguishing the
fire by the officials in charge.
The coal pile is between 30 and
40 feet high or about 20 feet higher
than the U. S. navy regulations
allow. Attention to this fact has
been called to the officers having
charge of such matters but evident
ly to no effect. Any ordinary man
would know that a pile of coal in
this country at the height of even
20 feet would be liable to spon-
taneous combustion, and that great
danger would be involved in piling
up such an enormous amount of the
kind OF coal used here.
The pile is now on fire and some
rather primitive measures are used
in carting the coal from its present
place to a plot on the old fishmarket
near the Honolulu Iron Works. Be-
fore the work is completed a loss o1
not less than 1000 tons Of coal will
have been sustained by the United
States.
There is OF course nobody to
blame for the expensive accident,
exactly as is the case of the dead
soldiers and the crowded fever
hospitals.
The soldiers die and the coal
burns, but of course there is nc
one to be called to task for these
national disasters.
Fifty men could have torn that
coal pile apart this morning; salt
water to be had right on the spot
could have been used to extinguisi
the fire without damage to the coal
and no danger would have been ex
tended to the neighboring houses
The Chief OF the Fire Department
was ready to take all the steps
which he did, when he put out the
fire in the Oahu r. r. yard, but thi'
being "army" property the civi
authorities could of course not b,
put in control.
1t is simply red tape from begin
ming to end, but the "tape" is very
expensive.
"Let her burn" boys; "if privat,
property of foreigners or even Am
ericans are destroyed, they will

Superb Acting.

lher6 cOulu ue ~ uuuUI buab
Nance O'Neal would cover herself
with glory as Elizabeth in Giacomet-
tbs clever drama, in which he under
took the heavy task of portraying
that brilliant, vain, tickle, jealous
and capricious queen OF England.
1t takes great talent to picture
Elizabeth in books or on the stage,
and few authors have ever under
taken the difficult task. An Italian
fascinated with the wonderful talent
of Ristori, dared to produce play,
which created a furor when first
presented in Florence with Madame
Ristori as Elizabeth
But without fattery to Miss
O'Neal, and without admitting that
the writer's memory has been i'm
paired it must be admitted, that
Nance O'Neal, young as she is, sur
passes by far the powerful Italian
tragedienne.
AS Elizabeth the young actress is
at home, and may we never again see
her in the frivolous plays, which we
presume for business reasons have
to be put on the stage. Miss ONeal
can play to the gallery in the melo-
dramatic translations from German
"gush," and she can appeal to the
peanut cracking audience as cigar
cite smoking tough" But for the
sake OF true art her friends hope,
that she will soon be in a position to
appear only as the accomplished
dramatic actress, who with careful
study and hard work must yet be-
come a STAR" in the dramatic
world.
Herbert Carr carries on the drama
with Miss O'Neal in a very able
manner. His Earl of Essex is be-
you'd reproach, and it is a pleasure
to notice that the young actor can
appear and carry himself on the
stage in the gentemanly manner
that, it is to presumed, Elizabeth's 8
Robert did in the days gone by.
Mr.. Weaver as Lord Cecil, and
Mr.. luther as the Marquis OF Men
doza took the special fancy of the
large audience, next to the principal
characters.
Mr.. Stockwell had charge of Sir
Francis Drake, but we frankly ad-
NIT, that we never understood Sir
Francis to be a specially "jolly"
figure. There was very little "fun"
in him, according to history.
Miss O'Neal has scored success
that will be remembered for many a
day, and Honolulu will deeply regret
her departure for the mainland next
week.
Tomorrow the company will pre-
sent True to Life at a matinee, anC
The Danites in the evening
Tickets for these performance
should be secured at once at Wall
Nichols g. Co., or you will share the
fate OF many people yesterday, and
gat left.
