KELLEY CURE IMITAToRs.

Mahy Lives Wrecked by Unscrupu.
lous Persons Who Pretend to Cure.
Many thousands Of confirmed drunk

ministered at the Minneapolis Kelley
Institute and many thousands more
would be SO restored were it not for
the heartless, Matchmaking system Of
robbery practiced by hundreds Of So
called physicians who prey upon the
community with worthless and disas-
trous cures. We have record Of
more than twelve hundred Of these
dy-destroying, health and home
wreckers, scattered over every state in
the Union, the bad results Of whose
work is truly appalling, and because
most of them have stolen DR.. Keeley's
livery under which to pose as Gold
Cures" they are able to impose on the
unsuspecting, and by offering
cheap price for a worse than worthless
service, add disaster to misfortune by
their heartless efforts to obtain money
by false pretenses. It comes to our
knowledge that several parties in the
State OF Minnesota are falsely claim
ing to sell the Kelley Remedies and
administer the Kelley Treatment.
This is notice to all concerned that the

.AUSTIN'S HAWAIIAN WEEKLY.

In The Late Mr. Jones" the McVay Com
pany exhibited talents in entirely different roles.
The comedy was very funny and pleased the att
dience which, it must be confessed, was much
larger than that attending Othello. The rank and
file OF the company here had a greater opportu-
nifty to show diversified abilities. The specialties
were good They could all sing and nearly all
could do turn"
To conclude. it is safe to say that the McNay
Company has proved success from all artistic
point of view and therefore deserves patronage.
The matter is no longer predetermined. Lovers
OF Shakespeare will look forward with greater in
terest to Mr.. McNays rendering of Falstaff in
Henry the Fourth, which, it is understood, will
be soon staged. Mr.. McNay has given a great
deal OF time, thought and study to the character
of Falstaff and, as he is an ambitious artist, a
surprise may be expected in the delineation.
Certain it is, if Mr.. McNay hits as Falstaff then
he may command" success.

The Orpheum.

The vaudeville performances at the Orpheum
still continue to please and draw good houses.
The attendance is unusually large Wednesday
and Saturday evenings when the semi-wcekly
changes in program occur. The performances
are well 'up to date when it is considered that
we are so distant from the mainland and the
many difficulties which exist of booking ac-
ceptable talent in advance.
There is one thing at least for which the man
agement deserves especial commentator. j. e.,
each performance has some distinct Hawaiian
feature employing local native Hawaiian talent.
Thus Hawaiian stamp is given to the perform
ances at the Orpheum which would otherwise be
too intensely American.

Dream. All readers know what real dream OF
fairy beauty it is; how bewdering and dazzling,
those scenes laid on enchanted ground If Mrs.
Williams graced the boards her true forte would
be high comedy; and her conception of Shakes
peres comedy and its sweet fairy corps was beat
tifully rendered, without exaggeration or man
nerism, but delicate, dainty and pleasing. Her
rendition of A Winters Tale was as charming as
the other. Her gestures and facial expressions,
perfect and significant; in perfect keeping with
the well-told tale. She should be especially
commended for her exquisite Autolycus; which
was delightful, while her Pauna was almost
equally as good. The pathos Of Hermione won
the large audience and the graceful elocutionist
absorbed interest throughout the entire reading.
Mrs. Williams enumeration is clear and her voice
is we'll modulated.

DOWN ON AMERICAN SHOES
Germany Jealous of Our Rapidly
Drawing Trade In That Country
-Our shoes Superior.

Now Germany is making an effort to
head off the trade in American shoes
started up by manufacturers in Chicago
and Massachusetts. The newspapers of
the empire are full of attacks On the
foreign product and appeals to patron
ize home industries. They assert the
American shoes are poorly made and of
inferior materials, but Consul Monaghan
at Chemnitz says: What are the
facts? Hundreds of Germans who visit
the United States load up with Amer
lean shoes before they return. \ shoe
maker in this city TO whom pair of
American shoes was given to be mend
ed took them apart to study the work
manship, made last from them, and is
now using them as model.
"One of my acquaintances, seeing the
superior workmanship, elegance, etc,
of some shoes sent me from the other
side, ordered IA pairs fer himself, fam
lily. and friends. Between American
shoes and those made in this empire
there is actually no comparison. One
pair of our will outwear two pairs of

Every effort is being made to make
our shoes unpopular in this market.
Some of these efforts seem unfair. Our
shoes are VIGOROUSLY the best offered
anywhere for the price. l have seen
shoes bought in Boston for three dol
lars pair outlast-keeping an elegant
appearance all the time - two pairs
bought here for S5.2i pair.
IF our manufacturers can sell here,
they can sell in markets hitherto held
by the Germans. The great gain is not
a market here, for, after all, so success
fully do Germans initiate that this mar
ket cannot be held long against the eff
forts that will be made to dislodge us.
The advantage will be in winning
markets in South America, the east,
South Africa, and Australia, and in
maintaining a practical monopoly of
the market at home"

ing card. People focked from far and
near TO see the stallion which was such
Il marvel that Dan Rice considered il a
sufficient feature to constitute n whole
show. They were not disappointed.
'ENSclSior' was trained not merely to
do tricks, but to understand language.
He knew the meaning of upwards of 200
words. He would waltz, walk forward
or backward, turn to the left or right,
stand ON one. two. three. or four legs
at the word of command. He did not
look for trick motions from his mas
ter, but simply listened for orders and
obeycd them with wonderful intelli-
gence.
The clever clown who trained him
knew that if Excelsior" should die his
show must Immediately collapse. Con-
sequently during the winter seasons he
trained young cream-colored stallion
with the same name. The younger stall
lion was of the same breed and readily
absorbed from the old horse his knowl-
edge of the language. They were har-
messed together every day. and at a
word Of command old Excelsior
would give the performance. and the
younger horse was obliged to follow
his lead.
Thus it happened that when old ''EX-
celsior" died the show went on with but
slight interruption. Dan Rice sent to
PENNSYLVANIA for the Young stallion,
and the general public did not know for
many years that the old original of the
one-horse show was sleeping in the
Cumberland valley, with n tombstone
over his grave.

lie received the largest salary ever paid
to any man employed in any circus.
Rice was out of the show business. and
comparatively poor. His name was so
we'll known, however, and his personal
ity so agreeable TO the public that in
1865 Adam Forepaugh paid him $4,000
TO travel with his show for the season.
In 1866 and in 1867 Forepaugh paid the
famous clown $21.500.
In 1856 Dan Rice was so popular that
he became self-conceited enough to be-
lieve that he should be presidential
candidate, and his agents humored his
whim by spreading banners everywhere
with the inscription: For President:
Col. Dan Rice, of Pennsylvania" The
old man took it seriously. and for a
long time insisted that he should at
least be sent to congress. But he never
was. SMITH d. FRY.

yards distant. In an instant the eagle

moved, when he sprang from the perch

line toward his prey. | gave nay horse

animal fell as if shot, and was quickly
dispatched by the eagles keeper. =

CIRCUS FOR CHARITY
New-Fangled Entertainment Quite
Popular in the East.
Some Memories of Dan Rice, the ven-
cradle King of Clowns and Orig
iuator OF the One-Rorse
show.
Especial Washington Letterl

Have YOU been to the circus this year?
Or hasn't the circus come around vet {?
When some of the fathers and mothers
of the present day were boys and girls
the circuses moved very slowly.
In those good old days the elephants
aided the horses in pulling the wagons
and cages along the country roads, for
the circuscs were nomadic caravan
saries. Nowadays the circuses travel
en- railroad trains. But from the day the
first bills are posted until the day of the
arrival of the circus is probably just as
long as i: used TO be to the little ones
OF the former generation.
The circuscs of the present day are
really travelling vaudeville shows with
animal attachments. The mcnageries
have become essential features of each
show, but formerly the circus consisted
only of few trained horses. mcn and
women riders, a ringmaster, a single
ring and a clown. There were no cx-
pensiyc adjuncts to the original cir

give pubic debates, public entertain
mCntS, and resort TO oil manner of
churchly devices for maintaining them
selves in an organization. Not long ago
they gave what they called "A Country
Circus and it was indeed Il very at
tractive affair, worthy OF description.
In large room they erected a tent.
When ticket holders entered the door
they stepped beneath the canvas. There
was a ring with sawdust all over it, a
center pole with acrobatic rigging at
tached to it. n small brass band dis
coursed circus music, and the tiers Of
common board seats were soon filed
with boys and girls, and a few older
people. At the appointed hour dozen
Inen and women, gayly dressed in
tights, mounted on gaudily-tTappcd
horses, came into the ring from the
drcssing-room. and pranced about the
place, just AZ The genuine actors used
to do, SO many years ago. There was q

paid no heed to the warning, and the

another such clown. II Dan Rice had
been kings fool he would have taken
place In history, outrsnking some of the
kings themselves. As a clown he be-
came known all over the country, and
his popularity was such that some 60
years ago he started forth with show
OF his own. Its main features were the
marvelously trained white stallion "Ex-
celsior," and Dan Rice himself. The
splendid horse and the superb clown
were "the whole thing"
Dan Rice exhibited the first circus
that ever came to the national capital.
1t was when Martin Van Buren, was
president, and every member of the cab
met attended the performance, while a
special box was prepared for Van
Buren,. 1t consisted of two old-fash-
Toned cane seat chairs lashed together
with whipcords. The members of the
cabinet sat on ordinary board seats,
near by the president.
Because of the fact that Rice had
only one horse, his circus was called
'the one-horse show" This was n term
of dcrision, and originated with rival
circus managers. But Dan Rice took it
