 ried back to some exciting scenes in their lives. No white miss could have
 given a more realistic interpretation of ''The Smack in School than little
 Katherine ValenZuella. She was warmly
 applauded. So were the kindergart- ners in their funny "Katydid" song
 The wand drill was rart 'cularly good, while the reoitatons by Mir A. l.. H g.
 gins called fer hearty encore. The drum corps, ccmpOscd of little Indian girls dressed in red and black, played so well that the audience demanded d repetition It was after 10 o'clock when the last number was given, and then the ficOr was cleared fer dancing. Nest Of the people present availed themselves cf the opportunity to dance to the delightful music of the Indian band, and it was late when the merri- ment came to an end. Everybody who attended expressed the greatss5 pleas ure with the entertainment. IL is the intention of Superintendent McCcwan to give several such entertainments during the winter, and undoubtedly they will be iwaH patronized. The In- dian as an entertainer is surely coming to the front.

TO STOP SCALp!NG.
RaiIrOsGS Roll More Rocks Down on
 on inc Brokers.

Minneapolis, Nov 29-Tngenuity of
 so hIgn an order mas been displayed by
 local ticket brokers in their efforts to
 evade the conditions under which the
 Chicago lines grant party rates that the representatives of the Western Passen-
 ger Association have been obliged to
 give their direct attention to the situ-
 ation. The brokers, so it appears, have
 not only made up parties of strangers and then claimed t4ie party rate, not uncommon practice, but have been cute enough, where Minneapolis failed lo supply the necessary number of travel CTS, to enlist enough more in St. Paul
 to fill out the required quota. Incl dentally, some of le weak lines are sus- pected to nave encouraged this sort of business, for they have profited by a large percentage O. the traffic.
 The local situation, as touching the party rate and it's misuse, was reviewed by the Western Passenger Association at it's meeting last Wednesday in Chi cagO. The conditions were represented as beyond toleration, anu accordingly a. set of stringent rules was adopted which became effective to-day. By this agreement all Of the lines bound them. selves to extend no facilities to brokers whereby assistance might be given in making up parties. They agreed fur ther that they would issue no more cards, that they would withdraw all outstanding cards, and tLat they would give orders to have none of those is sued by outside parties recognized by conductors or gatemen. And they all to grant no rates to consoli- dated parties of Minneapolis and St. Paul people.
 Even more directly to. the point they united in assenting to 8 rule that here after all .gatemen must require all of the passengers travelling on the one ticket to go through the gates at the same time, and the conductor of the train to obllge the leader of such par ties to identify personally all those who are members of his company.
 If carried out rigidly, this agreement will be a severe blow at local brokers. They have found much of their busi- ness recently in booking parties for Chicago. Their game has been rather easy to carry out, for they have been able 70 rely on the identification cards referred to. These are cards naming the bearer as @ member of a party, and have been good at the gate of the sta ton and to the conductor in lieu Of a ticket, after the common transportation for the crowd has been inspected and approved.

 What do you think will be the solv- ing of the cOOlia labor problem?" Judge Frear was asked
 Under the present law coolie labor can be imported. Our people. if left to their own choice, would prefer to con tinue this system; but we will not hesi- tate to give i5 up if required. We re- a-ize that the stability of government will be so much increased under annex at1on that we could afford to amend our labor laws and sacrifice cheap labor
 As 6 matter of fact, our planters are now starting in to make serious at tempt to introduce white Iaborers Some have already been brought in from California, and it is believed the experiment will succeed. The notion seems to prevail iii some quarters that white men cannCt work in the tropics It must be remembered, however, that there are differences in tropical coun- tries. Hawaii really is on the edge of the tropics Furthermore, the islands are tempered by a cool ocean current, which reduces the temperature ten de- grees below that of other countries in che same latitude. \ great proportion CT the best coffee lands are located in q very temperate zone.

A Public School System Nearly as Old as That of the United States Has Pre- pared Them to Be Received on
 Favorable Terms.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-Associate Jus tice F'rear of the Hawaiian supreme court, and a member of the commission appointed by President Mckinley to provide form Of government for the recently acquired territory Of Hawaii, Is in the city in attendance upon the meetings of the commission Judge Frear is native Of the United States, but has been identified for many years with the development Of Hawaii
 "The people of Hawaii" said Judge Frear, want their form of government to be that of an organized territory, with governor appointed by the Dresi- dent, a delegate in the house of repre- sen.atives of the United States and a legislature elected by the people.
 Hawaii is well fitted for such a gov ernment. for her citizens have enjoyed constitutional government for sixty years. Even under the monarchy they mad legislature, and the native Ha- Waiians participated in the elections The establishment Of such a govern ment, therefore, will not be in the na- tuTe Of an experiment American minds have guided events in the mat ter Of government.
 ''The Hawaiian system included the three branches Of legislative, judicial anu executive, as Iii the Unlled States system. The courts were presided over by American judges in the upper branches, and trials were conducted much the same as in this country There were trials Gy jury, there were courts Of equity and courts of law The common law was law, except where changed by statutes, and they were modaled after the statutes of this country.

Rome, Nov. 29.-Pietro Masca gni' s new opera Iris" was produced at the Costanzi theater tonight. There was an overfowing audience. Queen Margin erita, the prince and princess of Naples and the duke of Aosta were present.
 Mascagni, who conducted, received 6 tremendous ovation. He was called for five times after the first act and ten times after the second. The audi ence demanded numerous repetitions.
 Many delicate melodies of the opera are only comprehensible by trained musicians. Others recalled "Cavalleria Rusticana." The critics doubt that Iris" will attain the popularity Of "Cavalleria Rusticana,' but it is prob ably superior to Mascagni's other works, and is worthy of the great mas ter. The Japanese scenery was ex- tremely beautiful.
