Tuesday Night's Faust.

The biggest operatic event Of the
season will be- the appearance Of
Mrs. Annis Montague Turner at the
Opera House on Tuesday evening,
when she will appear in Faust in
conjunction with the Boston Lyric
Opera Co. There is no doubt but a
splendid performance will be given
for the Lyrics have been busily re-
hearsing all the week Another big
feature will be the introduction in
the 4th act OF the Hawaiian band in
the famous soldiers, chorus and mar
ket scene. Outside OF the big social
event this beautiful opera would
surely crowd the theatre, especially

A Prominent Citizen Passes Away
at Hilo.
David Howard Hitchcock, a man
who was prominent factor in the
making OF the history of Hawaii,
died in Hilo on last Tuesday,
The deceased was born in Homo
lulu in 1882, his father being one OF
the earliest Nav England mission
aries.
He was given good education
at Williams College, Massach ussets
and at the last commencement OF
that prominent educational institu-
ton the honorary degree of Master
OF Arts was conferred on the deceas-
ed, who during his life 'alwaya took
deep interest in his a Ina Mater.
D. Fl Hitchcock held responsible
public positions on Molokai, Maui
AID Hawaii un der the Kamehame-
has. The people sent him as repre-
sentative to constitutional conven-
tions aud Legislatures aud he al
ways responded to the calls even at
personal sacrifice and did his, not
always PHEASANT duty, in fearless
and upright manner
In recent years he precticed law in
HiIo and became interested ia sugar
and coffee plantations in the dis
tricts adjoining that rising city.
His health became impaired aud
although always active and full of
energy it was not difficult for his
children and friends to see that
death would soon relieve him from
his suffering.
Four children survive him, all
settled in life and they have the
sympathy OF the country in their
sad loss which deprives them OF a
loving father aud the country OF an
upright and valuable citizen.

American Government May Declare
Neutrality

WASHINGTON Dec 4-President
Mckinley and Secretary Hay still have
under consideration the advisability of
issuing proclamation declaring the
neutrality of the United States in the
war between the South African Re
public and the Orange Free State and
Great Britain. None of the powers OF
Continental Europe have issued such
proclamation, and until they do so it is
doubtful if the United States will act.
The slowness of foreign Governments
in taking such action has been mat
ter of some speculation in official cir
cles but is presumed to grow out of the
fact that hitherto they have observed
neutrality and they see no reason why
they should formally announce their
attitude.
