THURSDAY, DEC. 2, 1899.
BASE: INaRAT1TUDE.

An incident occurred at the Police
Station a few days ago which was
amusing to the by ISLANDERS and
costly to one of the brightest mem
bers of our legal fraternity. A
mounted patrol man brought Japa-
nese to the station house aud charg-
ed him with furious riding. The
charge had hardly been entered
when.a surrey drove up and two army
officers and an Attorney entered and
in strong language claimed that the
Jap was innocent and the officer
who made the arrest in the wrong.
In the moment the Deputy Marshal
aud the captain of the watch were
busy but the "bluff'' didn't work aud
10 spite of the assurance Of one of
the army officers that the Attorney
was the cleverest member OF the bar,
the clerk "booked" the Jap and told
the uniformed gentlemen and the
Attorney to have their say in Court
but not ia the receiving station.
This caused another storm OF indig-
nation and it is hard to tell what the
end would have been il the Marshal
had not entered and in his bland
way Investigated the matter and
told the attorney that the best way
to helping the "innocent" Jap would
be to furnish his bail and appear
for him in Court. The man was
Immediately released on the attor-
ney putting mp $25 and the yirtu-
ously indignant trio drove off, while
the Marshal ordered the Japanese
interpreter to tell ths man to be in
Court at 8 a. M, the next day aud
inform him that his temporary liber.
ty was due to the noble interference
in his behalf of the attorney. We
cannot quote Japanese but we have
no reason to believe that the inter.
prefer said exactly what the Mar
shall told him to say, it sounded
that way at least The Jap said
Mark Hanna-ws mean Ohio, got on
his horse, disappeared and failed to
return next morning when his bail
was declared forfeited and the shin
ing light lost his $25. Don Quixoto
meant we'll so Cervantes tells US
but he always got it where the
chicken got the axe, even to the
tune of $25.

Dissertation Of Graves

A report reached town this morn
ing stating that the the Ii tomb at
Waipio, EVA had been broken into
and the graves OF the late Judge and
his family desecrated.
Deputy Marshal Chillingworth,
Detective KAPPA and attorney A. W.
Garter, representing Mrs Irene Ii
Brown, left for Eva this morning to
make thorough Investigation.
The party returned at noon, and
it is understood that no serious
damage was done, although the
vault had been entered and coffins
opened. So far the police has no
clue to the perpetrators Of the deed,
which was done probably by persons
who believed that Hawaiians we're
buried with great treasures.

The orpheun.

The management OF Honolulu's
popular theater is always endeavor-
ing to please the public and the
Souvenir Matinees which will start
on next Saturday will be highly ap-
preciated by the young and OF
course important portion OF the
c immunity.
The usual fine entertainment will
b, given, and besides, each child
will be presented with package
containipg sweet candies and aprize
The artists will do all in their power
t., please the "kids," and If Mr..
Mott. Smith should be among them
"short skirts" will be altogether alb
andoned.
The farewell performance last
evening to Winton, the Llewellyn
sisters and Miss Dreyfuss was a
great success aud the patros Of the
popular theater will miss there gift
cd artists.
MEG nty promised that he would
bring Wiuton back and little man in
a box never lies. Miss Dreyfuss
danced the cake walk as only she can
do it aud the numerous flowers she
received on her final appearance is
q guarantee to her that she will al
WAYS be- welcome 10 Honolulu.
The Amateur cake walk watched
With great interest and for the
.cond time Lizzie Victor was de-
clared the winner. This charming
young lady is graceful aud beautiful
aud she will take the "cake."
Tonight the program is changed
and new artists will appear. The
celebrated pistol aud rifle shot Miss
Lillian South will make her first ap-
pearauce aud assisted by Frank @.
Smith she will do some wonderfully y
clever work.It is to be hoped that the
sparks from her pretty eyes, not
altogether hidden by her "som-
brero" will not do damage TO our
"Johnny Boys" in whose interest
reverend Serene E, Bishop writes
the following remarks in the last
Friend.
"Honolulu has two theaters--o one
the opera house--which aims to
maintain a respectable character;
the other the Orpheum, which seems
to have a d fsrent reputation. The
latter maintains place OF nightly
refreshmsnt for its visitors, aud has
asked the Government for liquor
license. The refusal OF this has
drawn down most vrnlent abuse OF
the Cabinet from the party of free
living which alleges, amoug other
thinge, that the "short skirts" OF the
performers caused the refusal. We
have heard, however, OF sad wreck
Of youths OF honored families caused
by Irregularities centering at the
Orpheum. That has probably had
much to do with the Cabinet action
1t is a satisfaction to perceive that
those gentlement are not cevoid OF
regard for the public morals, sveu il
they thereby invite the stigma OF
being "missionary." 1t is not i'm
probable that such "miss'nnary"
tone will continue permanently in
Hawaii aud Honolulu. Every father
