AN ENTERTAINERS EXPERIENCE
WITH an INSANE AUDIENCE.

Il was first impressed with their
quickness TO see the point OF a Joke or

audience, laugh will commence near

perfect roar, but the laughter OF the
insane Is like the explosion OF pistol

maids, came sweeping down the aisle.
quite a dazzling spectacle. She was the
unfortunate daughter OF one Of Amerl-
cas- wealthlest and best-known fami-
lies, and was here for treatment, her
weakness was flirting, and she had flirt-
ed so much that she had flirted herself
into the asylum. What a marked con-
trast she presented TO the rest. Her
naughty manner her proud carriage,
the management Of her train, the regal
air with which she wore her gown and
held her fan. proclaimed her lady OF
gentle birth and luxurious surround
ings. She glided gracefully into
front row opera chair, and. as she be-
came settled in her seat, the delicate
aroma OF some rare perfume was per-
ceptlblc even on the stage. Here was

A woMAN's WORK.

For several years past the only lady
correspondent admitted to the press
galleries of the Senate and House was
Mrs Isabel Worrel Bal, who repre-
sented the Topeka (Kan) Capital. This
year another lady appears, Mrs. II.
Bowman Matthews, who Is cores
pendent for the New Orleans Plea
yune. The rules OF the press gallery
are very strict, none but authorized
correspondents filing Geographic dis
patches 70 daily papers being given the
privilege. These restrictions are neces-
sary on account Of the increasing num-
Der OF newspaper men at the capital
and the necessity for preserving space
and conyeniences for actual workers.
The action Of Mrs. Matthews is ap.
plauded by all. She represents the pa
per for which her husband has long
been the correspondent. He Is now too
III to attend TO the work. so III, In fact,
that he cannot remain In Washington,
and Mrs. Matthews has bravely taken
up the work and is striving TO carry II
on. She is receiving words OF encour-
agement and every assistance possible
from her fellow newspaper workers In
Washington.

SENATORIAL EXCHANGES.

was having hearing on the shipping
subsidy bill Senator Elklns began TO
question one Of the men who had Just
spoken upon the efficacy OF discriminate
Ing duty In favor Of American ships
discriminating duties is hobby with
Senator Elklns--when Senator Frye
broke in with a most vigorous remark,
saying:
There Is no member OF the committee
and | presume there Is no member Of
the Senate who believes In discriminate
Ing duties except Senator Elklns, so
see no necessity Of going into the SUBJ
jeet or occupying out time with H."
This only caused Senator Elkins to
smile as he responded. well, | Just
wanted to find out little something
about It,"
We'll, you can't" responded Senator
Frye. Every one knows II Is imprac-
ticable, and there is nothing to learn
about It,"
Senator ElkIns laughed with the 9TH
ers and good naturedly remarked: "Oh.

A GOOD MEMORY.

NJ. George II. Walker, assistant at
torney general in the department of
justice, though now full fiedged attor-
ney at law, was newspaper man for
many years beginning the business as
a newsboy forty years ago. He trained
his memory in all the years that he has
been a reporter, editor and Washington
correspondent. He heard a man talking
on the street a short time ago and was
sure he had heard the voice before
Going 10 to him, he recognized the
man as General Starkweather, whose
voice he had last heard giving orders TO
his troops as they marched through
Milwaukee. away back In 1861.

CHRISTMAS BENEVOLENCE.

The approach of Christmas always
turns the thoughts of the generous
minded to some form of public charity
appropriate to the day. Here in Homo
lulu there are many openings for the
philanthropic impulse; and happily
there are ten times as many people
ready to make the most of them
Among the institutions that deserve
a Christmas remembrance are the AS
sociated Charities, the kindergartens
the Victoria Hospital, the mission
churches and Sunday schools, the Sea-
mans Home and the leper station at
kalihi. The Molokai lepers, l 100 all
told, will receive one dollar apiece as
the proceeds of the Wray Taylor con-
cert, so duty has been done towards
them. We have not mentioned the
prisoners on the reef, but if the disci-
pine OF the jail will permit they should
not be overlooked on day consecrated

ye came unto me-"

inerry-making. The day has a wider
scope than that. in the spirit Of Little
Tins greeting, God bless YOU

THE BOARD OF HEALTH.

The signs of renewed and energetic
purpose in the Board of Health appro-
priately signalize the nearing anniyer-
sary OF the plague. For a long time
past the Board, without a President.
has been giving the sanitation of the
city less remedial care than many peo-
pie have deemed necessary. Now the
policy Is to condemn plague breeding
places, OF which there are all too many.
IL Is sign of earnestness in this good
work that the Board will keep out of
politics and not permit pull of any
Kind to draw it aside from the straight
path of duty.
The first business of the BOARD of
Health should be and we think will be
to keep Honolulu clean. People who
are familiar with the new Chinatown

OF CURRENT INTEREST.
Mems Styles at the Horse Show.

The New York Horse Show was an
excellent place to study mems fashions,
gossips an observer who was present.
The fashionable leaders were all there,
and the clothes they had on were the
right things to have on In overcoats
these men wore Ra5!ars, very long,
very loose, very broad at the shoulders,
falling i'm folds that were not without
a certain grace. In sack coats they
wore a garment which went in at the
waist and sprung a little, with a kind
of skirt effect, over the hips. The trous-
|ers at the hips were very wide; they
frightened at the bottom. suggesting in
their cut slightly the queer trousers
which the Frenchman wears. Shoes
were broad and heavy, with extended
soles; gloves were very heavy and soft;
canes were of all kinds. The feature
of mems dress seemed to be certain
careless looseness or bagginess. This
was to be noted not merely in the Rag
Ian coat or in the English trousers, but
even in the frock coat ~

The so-called sacred concert is a
favorite device of dive theaters to get
people into their clutches on Sunday.
Nothing more disreputable can be seen
and heard ip the underground resorts
OF London and New York than the
sacred concerts where men and wo-
men OF the worst regulations make
n.ockery of religious music. Here in
Honolulu, the Orpheum, which has
gradually been getting less respectable
for some months past. is eager to in
troduce the sacred concert and will
do so unless checked by law. At the
outset such concerts are staid enough
but in a little time they run into a sort
of minstrel show and are an utter desc

lulu has degenerated from it's past es-
tate II will see that all theaters are
kept closed on Sunday. their work not
being Of the kind that answers to the
legal requirements of necessity or mer-
cy. We think that. in this matter. the
Honolulu Protective League should
have something to say.

Skilled DeDater. in the Senate.

Among the best debaters in the Sen
ate are Chandler of New Hampshire
and Spooner of Wisconsin. Chandler
is the keener and more caustic of the
two. Spooner has the advantage in the
spectacular surprises of running de-
bate. Chandler is more feared as an
opponent than any other man. He has
genius for discovering the Vulnerable
point in the enemys armor, and he is
merciless in sending his weapons home
Both he and Spooner are invariably
good natured. Neither of them was
ever known to lose his temper In de-
bate.

II 1t were true that a charter is need
ed or wanted for Honolulu by those
who would have to bear the cost, the
plea for deliberation and delay would
have the emphatic Endorsement of this
paper. In any event deliberation is a
good thing. for who could expect sat
isfactory system of local government
to be built up between December and
March in a place which presents more
complex municipal problems than any
other town in America and by men,
the majority of whom have had no
qualifying experience? A charter for
Honolulu should have a long fore
ground Of study and comparison. Men
should be sent TO the Mainland and Eu-
rope to find what Is best in the ad-
ministration of utilities; citizens should
post up on municipal needs; the ques-
tion OF taxes should be carefully figured
out. OF course a tob-chasers charter
could be framed In two weeks, but a
charter for the taxpayers would need
all Of two years.

Howells Reads His Speeches.

Since William d. Howells became a
New Yorker he has frequently been a
guest at speechmaling dinners. but on
very few Of these occasions has he been
persuaded to say anything himself, and
when he has spoken he read his speech.
Very few of the well-known after-din-
ner speechmakers trust to the inspira-
tion of the moment for the substance
Of their remarks. Mr.. Howells, howev-
er. never commits his speech to mem
ory. He reads il, with no attempt at
oratorical effects, and usually with the
air of man who has distasteful task.

told that Mr.. Keene Is such a man. The

Pago-Pago, the American town IN
Samoa, is likely to become large vii
lage and a busy port. The rule of the
Germans at Apia, while just and rea-
sonable. has altered so many Anglo
Saxon customs there that American
and British residents are moving to
Pago-Pago and will build it up. There
are the rudiments of a small Honolulu
in the new town, though for lack of
considerable area of agricultural soil
behind IL. the place can never hope to
rival this one commercially.
