THE Outpost" a melodrama, presented
to the patrons of the Park Theater yester-
day for the first time by J. X. Emmett and
Lottie ellison and their company, is sur
prisingly good. Mr.. Emmett has improved
in his acting greatly since his last appear
ance in this city. Miss Gibson is still the
same charming singer. In 1.-THE Outpost
Mr. Emmett has brought together a very
capable company. Nearly every member
goes through his part with Il precision sell
uom attained by actors of melourama.
Inc story Is taken from Incidents OF the
war IN South Africa. Ii sparKles with love
bits, which oVershadOW the harsher scenes
or the battles.
The opening act represents the home of
tr1tz Won Neidlandt q. X. Emmet), near
Kimberly. south Africa. Fritz has fallen
IN love with an Irish girl, Nora m
(Lottie Gilson), who has a brother in the
English army Fritz enlists in the Boer
army as a captain. During the siege of
Kimberly Captain taEian, a French soldier
OF fortune, who has cast his lot with the
British troops. also falls I'm love with Nora
ana becomes not only an enemy of Fritz
IN war, but also a rival in love. Fritz lives
with his father, Dom Peter, and his sister
Lena (Jennie Reiffarth). The place is be-
low the hills, outside OF Kimberly, and the
sound OF the firing of the siege guns can
be heard. The neighbOrhood is filled with
terror. Captain Fabian, on the pretense of
Delng a friend OF Fritz, places a copy OF
the plans or forttications of Kimberly in
the latter hands. telling him that they
will help him and his friends at a later
date. He then QGarrels with Fritz on a
slight pretext. Fritz overcomes Fabian and
horsewhips him. The latter then withdraws
and returns with a detachment of British
troops and orders the arrest of Fritz as a
spy. At this juncture Lieutenant m
Nora's brother. who is in IN of the
detachment. refuses to arrest Fritz as a
spy and turns over his sword.
The second act is fun Of thrilling scenes.
Fabian is again scouting the neighborhood
for the purpose Of finding Fritz. He sus-
poets that he Is at home, and when Dom
Peter refuses TO allow him entrance he
brings forth q crowd of soldiers with n
Calling gun and prepares to riddle the
house. Nora and Fritz appear. and. with
the assistance of Ulgo, a Kafr slave,
thwartz Fabian.
The third act finds Fabian near the COM
pletion OF HIS plans for the final disposition
of Fritz. The latter is arrested while re-
turning home and is locked i'm his own
house. from whence he Will be taken 10 be
court-martialed. Sergeant Casey proves lax
in his watching and Fritz is allowed to
escape. The final scene shows the recon
ciliatiOn OF Fritz and his sweetheart, and
Lieutenant Desmond leaves the English
army and throws his future with the Beers.
No ranting accompanies the reading of
the lines OF the play. During the action
Miss ellison sings several new songs. The
engagement is for two performances a day
until Thursday. when. I'm a Woman's
Power" will take the stage.

Bcwery BurIesquers at the Empire.

With each annual visit OF the Bowery
Burlesquers new features are to be seen
in the show. Sometimes these features are
not successful. while at other times the
rest Of the show il Obscured by their light.
This year the addition of Chick Con-
nors. the noted Mayor OF Chinatown" is
in the way of excess baggage. Yutakmee.
an Indian woman who has a rich voice. is
one of the hits of the show. The per-
Torrance begins with the olio. the Naci-
rema twin midgets opening the bill. These
young women perform some difficult aero
batic feats. Neva Aymar. a dashing young
woman clad in raiment of gorgeous colOrs,
follows with several ragtime songs. She
panies her on the piano. Her limitations
of the Southern darky are well done. Gil
bert and Goldie retain many OF their old
Jokes. The Taylor trio. composed of one
white woman. a white mar and colored
man. have not changed their musical act
since their last appearance in this city.
Henshaw, FranciOia * Co. have little eX-
cuse for taking up the time they do in the
clio. Hays and Suits complete the olio
with a unique singing and dancing sketch.
Stunning Is the title OF the afterpieCe.
Ii uses the whole company. Winnie Hen
shaw takes the principal role OF the typical
East side tough girl. The scene OF the
play Is laid in the locality OF the Bowery
and Mott street. where Chinese and He
brews abound. The music of the large
chorus is good. The show Will remain for
the rest OF the week. with daily matinees.

THE PARENT TRUST.

1t is said that local firms which sell
plumbing goods and are doing business
In conformity with the law are unable
to get supplies in San Francisco wing
to the fact that the wholesale dealers
there belong to the trust and VIII not
sell to retailers outside of it.
If this is true the United States LIS
trict Attorney at San Francisco has
the same duty to perform which he car
ried out so well in the case of the coal
combine and which was followed up
to such advantage here by United
States District Attorney Baird in the
local fight against the plumbing trust.
We are convinced that any Honolulu
business house which is being bulldoZec
by the San Francisco combine could
we'll afford to begin a Federal action
there to recover three-fold damages;
and that. it would not appeal to the
District Attorney in vain for the open
ing up of criminal proceedings.
The Advertiser desires to do all it
can to protect local plumbers from the
San Francisco bulldozers and if given
evidence of the existence and activity
of a plumbing trust there, 1t stands
ready to put the facts where they will
do Honolulu dealers the greatest
amount Of good.

ct is rather of a puzzle why 1t
should be so, but we have found In
TWO years experience that the best OF
the amateur oteceives We employ even
ings during the holidays are young
men who run elevators during the day
time" said the superintendent of one
of the big department stores, In New
York the other day. ."Thsse young
men rarely if ever make a mistake as
to the character of the people they are
employed to watch While shopping
here. One such young man proved
very successful a year ago. He caught
a number of petty thieves, but made
no mistake by interfering with peo-
pie who were shopping instead of steal
ing. We are trying him again this
year, and il he continues TO do as
well he will be offered a good position
on our regular staff at a good salary.
That thief spoilers are born rather
than made is proved by the fact that
one of the best we ever had was d
yourg woman who is regularly employ
ed as a stenographer and confidential
firms. She had an ambition to test her
powers as matter of sport, as well
as a way to earn few extra dollars
for Christmas money. She was as ex-
pert as professional, caught a num-

time professional, and sharply refused

business in our establishment the year
round. She> was satisfied with her
short experience"

PEARL HARBoR IMPROVEMENT.

The United States War Department
will open Pearl Harbor under the law
which gives it control of the outlay of
River and Harbor appropriations. Once
the bar has been removed and safe
anchorage for vessels made, it will be
in order for the Navy Department TO
get the assent of Congress for the pur-
chase or condemnation of site for
naval station. Whether this will be
done or not remains to be seen,s but
the position of the port, as the strategic
key to the, North Pacific, would seem
to make it imperative that there should
be some place in this group for the
docking and repair of war vessels and
for their assembly into fleets.
Pearl Harbor is well located for such
a purpose. A dockyard could be built
near one of it's deep channels so far
from the sea as to be beyond the accur-
ate range of a hostile fleet. Indeed,
with forts at the entrance, an enemys
ships might be kept so FAR off that they
could not drop shells half way up the
harbor without elevating their guns TO
a degree that would. through the re-
coil after firing, damage the structure
of the vessel The failure of Admiral
Sampson's bombardmentS during the
Spanish war shows how easy it is for
well-manned forts to protect property
located behind them even within two or
three miles. For the reasons cited the
Navy Department has not seen fit to
urge the building of a dock on Honolu-
lu harbor close to the complete and
economical repair facilities of the Ho-
nolulu Iron Works. In time Of peace
it would be most desirable to have
drydock at this port; but in time Of
war the location would be a source of
anxiety to the Government, and
means of the possible destruction Of the
dock, the Iron Works and the adjacent
city. At least that, as we are told, is
the argument of the naval men; so If
we are to have naval station at all,
Pearl Harbor must afford the. site.
In any effort which the Department
may make to reach that end, Senators
Morgan and Cullom, Representatives
Hit and Berry and others of inf1u-
ence in Congress may be depended upon
to give their aid. Indeed, we antici-
pate that a naval appropriation for
Pearl Harbor would be regarded, in
both House and Senate, as a matter of
course.

Dismissed for "Gouging."

The Secretary of the Navy dismissed
from the Naval Academy last week, on
recommendation of the superintendent.
a cadet found guilty of "gouging, :"
which is the slang for dishonesty in
work, in this case the copying as his
own of a theme written by another
cadet, and of falsehood. Fffty-six
members of his own class tpetitioned
the secretary to exercise clemency, and

mits them to have liberty but once in

The Capitol Crypt.

One of the most interesting features
of the National Capitol is generally
overlooked by visitors. 1t is the crypt
down in the basement. directly I'M
der the dome, which was prepared Tor
the reception of Washington's body.
Virginia declined to relinquish the re-
mains, and they rest at Mount Vernon.
An effort was made to have the body
of General Grant deposited here and
New York rose in protest. The only
object of especial interest in the crypt
now is the historic bier upon which
have rested the remains Of John @.
Adams, Abraham Lincoln, James A.
Garfield, Chief Justice Waite, and Cen
eral John A. Logan. The. bier was
evidently constructed hurriedly. One
board was broken, not sawed off. This
is hidden by covering of black cloth.
The bier is used only when the dis
tinguished dead are lying in state at
the Capitol.

Smallest Pipe in the World.

1.-The smallest meerschaum pipe in
the world" is the legend attached to a
tiny bit of carving, partially colored,
which is exhibited in the window of a
little Philadelphia shop. II made this
little pipe several years ago." the pro-
prietor said recently, /" and I started to
color it myself, but it was mislaid one
day, and I didn't find it again for a
long time. 1t is only an inch and Il
quarter long. The amber mouthpiece
is less than ne-sixteenths of an inch
in length, and is less than one-eighth
of an inch thick. 1t was a decidedly
delicate job. I would rather carve a
hundred big pipes than that little one.''
A tiny pinch of tobacco may be placed
in the bowl One puff and it is gone.
1t is. perhaps, needless to say, that
the smallest pipe in the world is not
for sale.

An Experts Opinion.

Professor N. S: Shaler of Harvard
University, Southern man who has
made a special scientific study Of the
condition of the negroes of the South,
gives no favor to the pessimistic opin-
ions that come from that section. He
thinks that the moral and intellectual
condition of the negroes is improving,
and, SO far as social morals are con-
cerned. he regards the negro as, on
the whole, less dangerous than whites
of like social grade.

ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO.

We are indebted to Mr.. Gait for
fac smile ofsthe Hartford Courant OF
January S, 1901. which is interesting in
a wider sense than in it's quality as a
curio. The first page is taken up, in
the main, by a poem on the Triumph
of Democracy, which shows In the
opening verses that the date upon
which the nineteenth century began
was as much in controversy as thai
which signalized the opening of the
twentieth century. We quote:
Precisely IL O'Clock last night
The eighteenth century took It's flight;
Full many calculating head
Has racked its brains, it's ink has shed
To prove by metaphysics fine
hundred means but ninety-nine.
Go on, We scientific sages,
Collect your light few more ages
Perhaps as swe1s the vast amount
But the poet was wrong; for cen
tury thence the controversy was in full
swing and will probably be resumed in
a hundred years from now.
Politics ran high in the youth of the
Courant and we find this mild apostro-
phe to the Democrats:
The Democrats all means prepare
From telling lies to aping prayer
tfor democrats can pray for evil;
Their gods are Frenchmen and the Devil
Whlle to the Unions outmost bounds
The Jacobinic tocsin sounds,
Thieyes, traitors, Irish renegadoes,
Scape-galiowses and desperadoes.
Virginia having taken stand in ma
tional politics which did not please the
Courant, its poet addresses that State
in the following prophetic strain:
Proceed, great State, thy arts renew
with double zeal thy course pursue.
Can on thy sister States to obey
al, ana poloiy grasp at sovereign sway
Then panic-remember ere too late
The tale of ST. Domingo's fate,
mo Gabriel dies. a host remain,
oppressed with Slavery's CALLING chain
And soon or late the hour will come.
Marked with yirginia's dreadful doom.
There was bossism in Quay's future
Daiiiwick In those good old days and
the poet says some bad words abou,
the state Of things:
In Pennsylvania where M'Kean
Extends his mild and gentle reign.
Where birds of every name and feather.
Flock and at times get drunk together.
The remainder of the poem shows
that, century ago, journalism was
controversial. politics decayed, bossism
rampant. demagogues busy and appre-
tensions that the republic would be
overcome by the power of the Manhat-
tan Bank. the ancient equivalent of
Wall Street. held by the Democratic
party.
