 Great Play.

Great Play.
 Two tragedies were given by tue fspanese players at the Boston theater recently, and the author of both-Ka. wakami- played the leading part in each. Japanese playwrights are cer- tainly versatile and when the amount of physical labor involved in these tra- geGies is considered, they cannot be said to be afraid of hard work, says the Boston Herald. The Japanese idea or 'The Merchant of Venice,' which the author attempts to show in "Sairoku" and in which he plays the name part, proved hardly as entertaining as might be expected. It might be called weari- some in places, owing to the rrotraeted dialogue and insufficient pantomime to clearly indicate what the people were talking about The main features Or the play are copied, with some changes Thus the Jewish miser becomes g Ja- panese miserly fisherman. the pound of flesh is three square inches,' to be cut eff nearest the heart of the lover CT miser's daugater, who has borrow e 5000 rio under the pledge of flesh sseiture; and an older daughter is Ss Portia who becomes the judge and 5e5 She lovers life The play ends L~9pily in The repentance of sfroku, though not before the tragic element is deyolved in tne suicide of the young q daughter The shorter play that opened the bill ard is called Scarlet Snow is based on events following the visit of Commodore Perry in Japan in 1853, and the tragic fate of Minister Tairo Ramon in consequence of his signing a treaty in opposition to the wishes of the exclusion party. The hand-to=hand fighting that comprises almost the entire second act and that feddens the deep snow with blood gives the name to the play, and is q study of muscular realism on the stage.

NEW GRIMES IN TIRE CALENDAR
Mans Lawless Ingenuity Is Giving the
 Courts Added Trouble.

Courts Added Trouble.
 Under the laws of the land as they exist at present the theft of lamp is larceny; it may be a Roman lamp or a Greek lamp, an oil lamp or all electric lamp. Whether it constitutes grand larceny or petit larceny will in certain states of the union depend not upon it's age or newness, but upon it's mar ket value. On the other hand there are a great number of modern crimes which could not have been committed in ancient days because the instru- ments for their perpetration did not exist. They are the outcome of mod ern civilization and they require new legislation. The tapping of a tele- graph wire is 8 modern form of high way robbery. In the old days Che method was to waylay the courier on the roaG and to rob him of his purse or of his message. The formula of the modern highWayman is not Stand and deliver" but simply Deliver" And he may get a message from the light ming courier which may be worth mora to him than well-dl1ed purse. But there is nothing to be gained by indis- criminate tapping. 1t is some special message or information that the thief is looking for, possibly for it's effect on the stock market or on other busi- ness ventures, but the use of cipher codes renders the tapping of telegraph wires of little avail even in time of war, unless the code as well as tbe message has been stolen. For zse tap- ping of power or light lines t-o moa- ern highwayman comes in out of ;he rain He can do his business better indoors by attacking the electric me- ter. confusing it's calculations an6 49 getting more current than he pazs for.

Vices from Honolulu, under date of June

''The Hawaiians have met in cOnven-
