popular actor succeeds in presenting a
play which contains the principles OF
both comedy and drama and to have II
so cayefully staged and played as to re-
ceive the commendation of a national
press, the production must certainly
possess merit. Such has been the re-
eeption and verdict accorded Lewis
Morrison so far this season wherever
he has appeared in his new spectacular
comedy, Frederick the Great" In II
Mr.. Morrison essays the role OF the

IS WELL PLEASED.
Edward POlIitZ Speaks of Planta-
tons Here.

The following interview with Ed
ward Pollitz shortly after his return
from his recent trip to this city is
taken from the Chronicle of the Sth:
Edward Pollitz, the stockbroker, re
turned yesterday from Honolulu on
the Mariposa. This is his third trip
to the islands within a year, during
which he obtained a thorough knowl-
edge of the island industries and more
particularly as to the sugar planta-
tions, in which he is very extensively
interested. He left San Francisco on
March 4th, making this third journey
mainly in the interest of Eastern and
European capitalists, who desired full
information about the sugar industry,
with a view of investing in plantations.
MIR. POLITE said when seen at his
home, that the improvements on the
islands since his last visit, three
months ago, surpassed his mOst san
guine expectation and he ascribeS
much of these improvements to the
of scientific methods in
testing the soil by experienced che
mists, the proper application of ferti-
izers and timely and proper irriga-
tion which had been rather crude for
merly. THE sugar yield,' he said,
will be from 20 to 80 per cent. greater
than was estimated. The Eva planta-
tion expected to harvest 10000 tons,
but will have $4,000, and is crushing
now 500 tons of cane a day, yielding
14O tons of sugar, The same condi-
tons prevail on all other plantations.
The copious rains of the season have
made the producing capacity of the
soil greater than was ever known and
have insured abundant crops for the
coming season"

Letter of Warm Appreciation
from an Engineer.
Honolulu, II. l.. April Is. 1900

Honolulu. II. l., April IS 1890
nounce on behalf of the Battalion of
Engineers, lately stationed at Waikiki,
our thanks and appreciation for the
kind treatment and hospitality shown
our members during our stay while in
the service of the L. S. Government.
Ever since the day we landed, the
18th day Of August. 1898, the most
friendly feelings have been shown to-
wards us, invitations have been quite
numerous during our whole stay to at
tend dinners. social gatherings, etc.
And in general, We have never be-
fore witnessed such interest as the
people of these Islands have taken to-
wards us. 1t has not only been with
us, but other troops passing through
here have received due consideration
Subsequent TO our arrival some of the
boys contracted climatic fevers. Here
is where the ladies worked heroically
to supply the sick with delicacies, COM
fort and good advice. Continued
10 SApcHutu lOI our IeJdSl, Ol
Thanksgiving Day, all due to the
thoughtful ladies' We do not know
how to return the favors only in this
simple acknowledgment of our appre-
citation. Many of us expect to return
shortly however, and make our future
home amongst you, while those who
drift to other places will always re-
member the Hawaiian Islands, with a
great Metropolis, as a country contain
ing the wealth, the resources, the brave
men, the fair ladies, the patriotism and
the energy, to surprise the civilized
world
Once more we thank you all for your
kindness and though we might feel
happy that a change is taking place,
we feel equally as sorry. Maybe we
might not meet again, but we will al
ways remember that land so distant
and secluded from the mainland.
