81 Plunkard.

This is very laughable comedy in
tour acts, and depicts New England life
in very realistic manner. The effort
of the author has been to give the play
the surroundings of realism that have
made it one Of the most delightful OF
stage productions.
The story is that OF good old fashioned
couple OF the farm, whose beautiful life
and home surroundings appeal with pc
culiar tenderness to every auditor. Any
thing that tells of the hills, fields.
meadows and lanes OF the country, and
the quaint characters found there. is al
ways one of the most delightful dramatic
treats that city audience can behold.
and during the action of the comedy a
number of new and novel specialties will
be introduced by the big Company OF
comedians. presenting programme un-
excelled for fun, originally and novel;
ties, giving you an evening of enjoyment
that you will not soon forget, This COM
pany also carries one of the finest orches-
tras on the road. which will provide a
rare musical treat between the acts.

when you are sick, what you like
best is to be chosen for medicine in

is best. to be chosen in the second place
what reason Ii. e., Theory says is best
is to be chosen in the last place. But il
you can get DIR. Inclination, DIR. Expert
ence and DIR. Reason to hold a consulta-
ton together, they will give you the best
advice that can be taken.
When you have a bad cold DIR. Incli-
nation would recommend Chamberlain S
Cough Remedy because it is pleasant
and safe to take. DIR. Experience would
recommend it because it never fails to
effect a speedy and permanent cure.
DR.. Reason would recommend it be-
cause it is prepared on scientific princi-
piles, and acts on natures plan in reliev-
ing the lungs, opening the secretions and
restoring the system to natural and

Goats Galore,

On board the bark CeyIon, now due,
are 106 Texas goats, consigned to the
Honolulu Stock-Yards Co., Ltd While
this is by no means an experimental
shipment, as goats are known to thrive
here, despite the absence of any large
numbers Of bill-posters, it is the first
large shipment ever made here, and
it remains to be seen how profitable a
venture it is to feed them on the rank
grasses and weeds which obtain here.
The milk of the goat differs very little
from that of the COW, and on the Main
land many a poor man enjoys the lux
ury of milk that he could not afford to
buy. He just permits his goat to dis
pose OF all stray posters, cans or cloth
ing that may lie around promiscuous-
ly on the adjoining lot. Of the present
consignment quite a number go to
Kauai, the balance will be for sale
here.

INDIANS FOR PHILIPPINES.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Thames H.
Tillman, a son of Senator Tillman of
South Carolina and who served as
colonel of the Second South Carolina
Volunteers in the Spanish war, has
been promised by the President cap
taincy in one of the new volunteer reg
iments. Colonel Tillman came to
Washington hoping to raise an inde-
pendent company of scouts. The Pres
ident did not approve of forming any
Independent commands at this time,
but said there was no objection to en-
listing certain proportion of Indians
in company which he authorized Cap
tain Tillman to organize.
One platoon of the company Will be
composed of educated Indians, leading
men of the Chippewa, Nez Perces and
other tribes. Chiefs Joseph and Pug
Ma-Gi-Shing of these tribes are much
interested in the work and have been
in Washington with Captain Tillman.
The two remaining platoons will be
composed of South Carolinians.
