SCRAP OF PAPER

1t would seem from the audi.
ence at the Opera House last
night that Honolulu people do not
appreciate good company when
1t is in their midst. People who
keep crying out all the while for
some Theatrical performance and
then fail to attend when a good
company arrives may have more
cause to cry out by and by when
theatrical people 90 away and
spread the news that Honolulu Is
. poor place to visit. This has
been done by several com panies
with an already noticeable result.
The Clay Clement Company 10 de
serving OF crowded houses.
Their plays are clean, full of wit
and humor and very wholesome.
This is certainly one of the very
best recommendations that can be
given a company.
Last nights play, an English
adaptation OF Sardou's "a Scrap
OF Paper" was extremely well
done, Mr.. and Mrs. Clay Glenn emit
taking the parts of M. Prosper
Couramont ard Mile. Suzanne in
an entirely acceptable manner.
The play is founded on scrap
OF paper that contains passages Of
love written by Baroness Louise
de la Glaciere to M. Prosper,
three years previous to her mar
risge or when she and Prosper
were lovers. This scrap was put
in the place where all the love let.
tiers between the two were hidden
out prosper f-iled 10 :, c.i,- It
on account OF being confined to
his house with q high fever, the
result of a wound from a duel.
The Baroness believes him false
aud msrries the Baron.
Then M. Prosper returns, ex plan
atoms are made and not withs tand-
ing tn. objections Of the Baroness,
the former succeeds In getting the
letter. Mile. Suzanne, appears
on the scene and gives battle. M.
Prosper refuses to give up the let.
ter and Mile. Suzanne, after
searching for hours, finds it.
M. Prosper wishes to marry
Mathilde, a sister of the Barones s,
because bis uncle swsars to disin-
heiit him il he does not take q
wife unto himself. But Mathilde
is in love with Anatole and NJ.
Prosper finally falls in love with
Mile. Suzanne.
The scrap of paper is used by
M. Prosper to light a lamp, Mile.
Suzanne contriving to make him
do this without his knowing be.
cause he has promised to leave
the place should she succeed in
forcing him to this step. 1t is this
that Mile Suzanne wishes him
to do because her cousins peace
of mind might never be recovered
should he remain.
The scrap of paper is thrown
out the window by M. Prosper,
picked up BY servant, handed to
Brisemovche, a scientist, a "cage"
for q golden beetle, used by Ana.

Jiminez Released From Custody.

HAVANA, Aug. 19.-The arrest OF
General Jiminez, the aspirant to the
Presidency of Santo Domingo, who was
captured on board a steamer at Glen
fuegos. yesterday, just as the steamer
was about leaving that port, was not
caused by orders from Havana, but
was effected through the orders of Gen
eral James H. Wilson, Governor of the
Department of Mantanzas and. Santa
Clara. Immediately upon learning of
the arrest, Major General Brooke gave
orders for the release of the prisoner.
The action of General Wilson in order
ing the arrest of Jiminez causes mucn
comment. The present plans of Jiminez
are not known. Having missed the
steamer on which he had taken pass
age, he will probably return to Havana.

LEXINGTON (Neb), Aug. 19. = The

place. The result was not reached un-
til o'clock this morning The Dem
ocrats had adjourned, but later recon
vened and further attempts at fusion
were made. The Democratic conven-
ton on reconvening refused to recon
slider their nomination, and the Popu-
lists stood as firmly by Neville. Har-
rington withdrew, but the convention
refused to make any Endorsement other
than his nomination.
