OPERA OF FAUST.
1t Will b. the Finest Theatrical
Attrac tiOn OF the Year.

The grand opera OF "raust to be
produced by the Boston Lyric Opera
Company next Tuesday evening at the
Hawaiian Opera House will beyond
doubt be the greatest theatrical pro-
duction ever given in the city. Daily
rehearsaIs are being held by the COM
pany, in which will be included num-
her of volunteers on the evening of the
performance.
In the first and third acts new cleo
trical effects will be introduced, on
which the Hawaiian Electric Company
has been working for some time. Just
what these are Colonel Thompson is
not inclined to give out at present, be-
yond the fact that no expense is being
spared.
AS a compliment 10 Mrs. Annis Mon
tague Turner, the pTima donna Of the
occasion, and Colonel w. A. Thomp-
son. Minister Mott Smith has tender
ed the services OF the Hawaiian band,
consisting Of twenty-six pieces, and
they viii appear in the fourth act. In
this there is a grand market scene
and the weH-known Soldiers Cho-
rus usually given with an enlarged
chorus and full brass band. 1t was in
order that this great scene might be
given in its entirety as we'll as out OF
compliment to an estimable lady that
the use OF the band was rendered by
the Minister It will result in the ap-
pearance of over seventy people on the
stage at once, more than ever before
in the history OF the opera house.
There has been a very heavy de-
mand for seats for this opera, as we'll
as for La Sonambula" which will be
given on the Thursday evening follow
ing. and it is safe to say the house will
be crowded on both occasions.

disposing of more tickets, which he was
dispensing for 35 cents piece. but in
many instances accepting a quarter
without question. His friend "Old
Sport" was not visible, but this did
not cause any trouble, for a time at
least. The people on the boat were
joyous and sang merrily. but when 8
o'clock came and the boat had not
started, $3.50 being the time set for
that event, they began to ask when
the start was to be made. They
couldn't find Lucky Joe" and the
captain said the steamer had only been
hired for an hour. There was wild

When they reached him they claim
that they saw him hand big roll of

GERMANS DISTURBED.
Development Of Our Industries Greatly
Alarms Them.
Meetings Held TO Ask Protection Against
American Products.

Washington. Aug. 15.-Louis Stern.
commercial agent at Bamberg, writes
as follows in regard to United States
exports to Germany:
Those who read the German press
cannot entertain the slightest doubt
that German Industrial circles look up-
on the enormous development of the
industries of the United States. during
the last few years with apprehension.
Several meetings of representatives. of
industrial branches have taken place in
Germany within the last few days.ani
the main point of their discussion was
in every instance. the ever growing ex-
ports OF the United States.
THE meeting of German manufac-
turers of tool making machines. which
was held at Dusseldorf last week asks
for protection against the increasing
American Importation; so does the Con-
ven1cn of German shoe manufacturers.
which took place at Breslau n few
days ago. The association OF German
Cycle Manufacturers means to fight
American competition even more Keen
ly than the representatives OF the
branches just named. The Agrarians.

ously injured

When the firemen arrived they saw
It was impossible to try and gain an
entrance to the Andrews home by the
front door, and they then made an at
tempt through the Rothschilds house,
No. 4.
Firemen Charles Fay. George Jacobs
and John II. Corr went up together.
They managed to get in the rear rooms
Of the third floor and found Mrs. st.
John and her 3-year-old son, Wallace,
unconscious on the floor, their night
clothes almost burned off. They were
quickly taken into the Rothschilds
house. Mrs. ST. John died within ,
few minutes. Her child died in the
fireman's arms. The firemen made re-
peated attempts to get into the other
rooms, but they might as we'll have at
tackled a furnace.
Aside from Mrs. St. John the only
other persons who got out Of the house
alive were Jennie Burns and Alice
White, who appeared at upper win
dows. Before the firemen could raise
ladders to rescue them the women In
their frenzy climbed out upon the sills
and stood, as if determining on which
was the worst fate. to be burned to
death or to jump to death.
The Burns girl climbed out Of a
four story window and stared with
mouth wide open at the knot of men
below. At practically the same mo-
ment Alice White climbed out upon the
sill Of an adjoining window, on the
fourth floor. The firemen cried to the
women not to jump, but the women
were past needing warning. Smoke
was curling above their heads and the
next instant Jennie Burns leaped out
She turned over and over and fell al,
most directly upon her head Hel
skull was fractured in several places
and she was hurried to the Presby-
| terian hospital. The other woman
when she saw the fate of her friend
hesitated for a moment; then, as the
smoke thickened, she too jumped. She
| fell upon a rear extension of the build
ing and was picked up unconscious and
severely injured. She was also hur.
ried to the hospital.
At the Adams house Policeman Wag'
ner made a heroic rescue of Nellie
Quinn, a servant Held by the legs by
two other policemen. he swung head
downward and caught the girl, who
was in imminent danger Of death, ant
the two were pulled in to place ol
safety.
Threatening letters received by the
Andrews family lead the police to be-
lieve that the house was fired for re-
venge by former servant, and a Quie
| Investigation Is proceeding.
