TWO BRICHT CHILD ACTREssE.

"The American Girl" the new com
edy drama to be given at the Opera
House on Monday night introduces two
tiny girl actresses who are sweet and
bright enough to almost carry the play
to success themselves. They do not
act like a pair of stage machines. that
have by dint of much training been
taught 10 repeat parrot-like. words
they do not understand: they seem
more like grownup actresses. who un-
derstand the resources of voice. ges-
ture, expression and pretty bits of by
play. There is something so seeming
ly spontaneous about their acting that
they win the sympathetic admiration
or the audience at once and hold ii.
with increasing interest, throughout
the play. The work of these talented
tots must appeal strongly to all who
love children, to all to whom the ioys
and griefs and hopes of innocent child
hood are like little riffs of sunshine in
the sad work-a-day world that grown
ones know so well and so sorrowfully.
George f. Hall is the leading man.

FROM H|LO
GIVEN A FOREIGN STEAME
RECEPTION.
She Has Surveyed the Harbors at Hilo
and Kahului-WiIl Go to Work at
Lahaina Next.

Two steamers were whistled early
this morning and most of Honolulu was
awakened by the noise. People came
to the conclusion that the China and
Moana had both arrived and hurried
down town this morning to get news
and mail from the Coast. They found
that the Pathfinder, coming all the way
from Hilo, had caused the disturbance
I1iloites will have another reason for
being proud when they learn of the
foreign steamer" reception given to
the vessel.
The pilot boat went out to meet the
arrival at about three o'clock and spent
a long time looking for the expected
China. When the Pathfinder was fin
ally located the boat came back The
Pathfinder entered the harbor and an
chored near the boat house. She has
been away from this port since Decem-
Der 18th, having left here about an hour
before the news of the existence of
plague was given out She has been at
work in Hilo and Kahului harbors sur
Veying for the government and has
about completed the work at both
places. After taking coal here she will
go to Lahaina, where she left some
men to prepare for the scientific work
to be done there. The Pathfinder has
not coaled before since she left San
Francisco for Honolulu
The officers of the survey ship say that
the people of Hilo are really thorough
ly scared over the plague. The vessel
has had great difficulty in getting mail
that came from Honolulu and Captain
Roberts was astOnished one day to hear
that the men in authority on shore were
threatening to burn it all. The captain
knows now how scared the people are
and he will have no communication
l.
scoW in the stream and thus avoiding
any quarantine troubles when he goes
back There is a lot of work vet to
be done around Hawaii.

EDITOR STAR: The suggestion that

hala point may have been whale
nghting some other monster OF the sea.
recalls what | myself saw from the
ueck or the steam schooner NeWsbov
on the coast of California below San
francisco in 1896. Old whalers in the
company said it was a fight between a
whale and thrasher. Whatever II was
1t was striking spectacle, and If II
was battle between a whale and a
thfasher 1t was a battle royal. The
creature, or creatures we saw were at
some distance from our vessel but pur-
suing course nearly parallel to ours
so that they We're in sight for over
haIt an hour. Efforts were made nv
several in the party to obtain photo
graphs of them but the sky was over
cast and the distance so great that the
negatives showed merely that there was
an object there without giving much
distinctness of FORM
what we saw was a huge bulk rising
out of the water at intervals and an
parently rolling over as it fell. AT the
same time there was a tremendous agi-
tation of the water. The whalers ex-
PLANTATION to the landsmen in the com
pany was that the whale was constant
~ endeavoring to get down to the
depths of the ocean away from it's an
tagonist, while the thrasher, more agile
ana ebert, was constantly attacking
from below to keep the whale near the
surface and ultimately to tire him out.
The whale in it's efforts to escape to the
depths would rise out of the water to
dive head foremost in it's efforts to do
this and escape it's enemy.
AT the distance we were tho risiro
OF the huge bulk, its falling again into
the water and the agitation of the sur
face of the ocean might readily have
been mistaken for the sinuous move
ment OF monster serpent, and it is
possible we would have viewed them
in that light, If a more commonplace.
though not less interesting explana-
ton had not been furnished us. An ex-
tended account of the spectacle was
published in the San Francisco Chro-
nicle at the time.

THE STRIKE IN ST. LOUIS
No Street Cars Running-No Disorder
as on the Day Before.

ST. Louis May 9.-The second day of
the great street railway strike was
quiet and uneventful, as the first was
turbulent and riotous. The st. Louis
Transit Company made no effort to
run its cars, and the st. Louis n
Suburban made none until late in the
afternoon when hundreds Of police,
mounted and afoot, were massed along
the line n a detachment on each car,
it succeeded in getting a number
through. Far from relieving the stu
alton, however, his demonstration
that by massing their forces on a
single line the police could keep that
line open.
At the close of the day of armed ac-
tivity both sides expressed full conf
dence in the outcome.
Frequent conferences were held on
both sides. The police are keeping the
crowds moving n prevented a repe-
titiOn of the riotOuS demonstrations
of the previous day. The streets were
filled with people, many of them hav-
ing small placardS on their hats n
coats, expressing sympathy with the
strikers, but they were not allowed to
congregate.
President Mahon, of the Amalga-
II1dleu ASSOcldllOH Ol olIeel halfway
Employees of America, is directing
the strike.
Prominent citizens met at the
mayors office this morning and as
sured Mayor ~Zeigenheim of their
hearty cooperation in all he might do
to preserve peace and, later, made
similar representations to the police
board.
1t was a day of proclamations, nan
~ifestos, statements and explanations.
A proclamation from Mayor Zeigen-
helm called upon the people to pre-
serve order and avoid gathering on
the streets. Chief of Police Campbell
sent a report to the commissioners,
telling them why he had been unable
to control the crowds Tuesday and
Tuesday night. The presidents of both
the street railway companies address
