Political Eplgrams.

As a maker of epigrams Mr.. Bryan
has no equal in this generation of pub.
lie men,
''Put Lincoln at Que end of the Re-
publican party and Hanna at the other. >
he said in his Keokuk speech, land
see the toboggan to Hanna"
The force of this comes from the
vivid truth of il.
Hanna can tell the policies of the
President without consulting the Presi-
dent"
Could the political situation be more
clearly exposed than by this fiashlight
of wit?
Republicans object to Democrats
quoting from Lincoln. They never
quote from Lincoln now"
At the end of his progress and politi-
cal rake does not like to hear of his
ancient saints.
Mr.. Bryan's epigram is like the pro-
verb; it is the wisdom OF many and
the wit of one one. 1t is wisdom con-
densed into a small package, portable,
and easily remembered.
Political literature is not always in
teresting. Often it is dull and I'M
profitable. But it is safe to say that
Bryan's contributions will long hold
an honorable place, because of their
strength, clsverness. suggestiveness
and wit.-St. Louis Dispatch.

The Orpheum.

The popular Orpheum again presents
a practically new and excellent bill of
fare to it's clientale which should fill the
house. Miss Dreyfuss is back again as
graceful as ever since her bout with
malaria. Mr.. Hearde and McGinty-
Winton still are stellar attractions, while
the newcomers comprise many new and
well-herAlded features. The Llewellyns
are most strongly recommended from
Australia, and Australia has been send
ing us good specimens of her talent of
late. The Musical Fletchers and Flying
Busch have more than passing reputa-
tons in their various line. Altogether,
the new talent promises most agreeable
evenings, and should bring very good
houses.

A Nep Arripal.

Mr.. H. F. Sharpe, a new arrival from
California, comes to fill a position in
Wall. Nichols by the side of his brother,
Professor Sharpe.
Mr. H. F. Sharpe is thorough work.
man, where pianos are concerned, being
an expert case-polisher. Both he and
his brother have been practically con-
nected with their trade from infancy,
having learned it under their father-one
of the best known and expert workmen
in the Western States. Like his brother,
Mr.. Sharpe has musical tendencies aside
from the mere possession of an accu-
rate ear required by piano-builders and
tuners. Though not an instrumentalist,
as his brother, Mr.. II. F. Sharpe has an
excellent baritone voice and reputation
for coon songs and rag-time music aside
from his more classical repertoire. The
Brothers Sharpe expect to build up an
extensive connection in their chosen
profession of piano physicians.

At the Opera.

At the Opera.
II Trovatore was probably the event of
the operate season. The opera is a
favorite with Honolulu theater-goers
since its selection as the opening bill for
the house by the local amateurs.
The treatment of the opera by the
Boston Lyric Company was excellent.
Despite the fact that the organizat ion
carries double prima donna and tenor
cast, there were doubts as to the posi-
bility of an avowedly light opera chorus,
and, with the two exceptions, the princi-
pals being able to handle grand opera.
Martha was hardly a fair test, but served
to show, nevertheless, that Miss Leekley
was thoroughly to be depended on to
sing her role successfully.
With the first act, however, doubts
were dispelled, and expectations more
than realized. Miss Andrews sang with
power and judgment. Leonora is a
heavy role to sustain from the emotional
and dramatic standpoint, aside from the
difficulties of the score, and Miss
Andrews ably encountered and sur
mounted her trials. Her voice, of ex
ceptional range, as those of all sopranos
who aspire to grand opera must be,
shows evidence of high cultivation and
vigorous training, its chief beauties lying
in the sweetness of tone and the spon-
tanity of the outbursts of song that seem
to come so naturally. She seems to sing
like bird with 'ever-trembling tongue, {"
trills; cadenzas falls from her lips as if
she loved to sing them. Her voice is not
extremely powerful, but with full knowl
edge of its capabilities, and its mistress
leads up so carefully and artisticallyto the
dramatic climaxes that the lack of
strength noticed in the recitatives is for
gotten. Miss Andrews voice, too, has
a sympathetic timbre that is extremely
pleasing in Leonore, the only noticeable
fault in her rendition is lack of judgment
in her phrasing.
Mr.. Parmley surpassed himself. The
gentleman is the fortunate possessor OF
a tenor voice that, eliminating one or
two throaty touches, should in five years
time be treasure-trove to it's owner.
He sang Marcio" beautifully; at the
close of the third act only was there a
suspicion of tiredness which passed off
