THE DRAMA.


Augustin Days comedies were writ
ten TO be played by a strong and well
trained company and to provoke laugh
ter. Both conditions We're met in last
nights performance OF the Lottery Of
Love by the Neil Company at the Ha-
waiian Opera House. From the rising of
the curtain for the first act until il went
down on the last, the well filled house
was i'm a roar of laughter.
The plot of the play is so improbable
that there is no deterrent to mirth In
any effort to reconcile il with reality.
But the plot being granted, the Incl
dents arise out of il with a naturalness
almost amounting to spontaneity.
MIR. Neil as "Adolphus Doubledot,"
the man who had certainly done all
that a man could be expected to do to
escape a mother-in-law, had a part
which might easily be overdone, and
except in the hands of a very capable
man would certainly be worse than un-
der done. But Mr.. Neill made Adolf
plus Doubledot' most mirth provoke
ing character Whatever the situation
he turned 1t to good account.
Miss Edythe Chapman as Diana"
the depressed. obedient daughter Of the
Carrie Nation mother-in-law had little
to do in The action and on that account
it was harder to do it, but it was done
well. In the epilogue she gave one of
the daintiest pieces of recitation heard
from this stage in a long while.
Lillian Andrews as Mrs. Zenobia
Sherramy" the terrible mother-in-law,
was irresistably funny. Laughter never
ceased while she was on the stage John
w. Burton as Benjamin Buttercorn'
who wanted to see things" portrayed
a consistent and delightful character
Frank Mac Wears as Captain Sam
Merrimac" was a delightful old salt,
breezy and characteristic. Robert Nor
ris as tom Dangerous" played accept
ably. Louise Brownell as 40" and
Mary Elizabeth Forbes as Ann INA"
were pleasing. The other characters
were Scott Seaton as David" Arthur
Croswell as Rye" and r.. Gardiner
Jones as Grass"
Rosemary" will be the next play
presented, Thursday evening.

ROSEMARY

Rosemary" in which James NELL
and supporting company will be seen
here at the opera house tomorrow ever
ing, has one of the sweetest love stories
running throughout the play that ever
came from the pen of a playwright.
The story opens in England in the year
1888, with the elopement of pretty
Dorothy Cruickshank' and William
Eastwood" They come to grief on the
start of their flight and are rescued
from an uncomfortable situation by
Sir Jasper Thorndyke," kindly
squire of 40 years, who houses them
for the night. The angry parents ar
rive soon after in hot pursuit, and are
also taken care of bv "Sir Jasper" who
acts as peacemaker and afterward
takes all the parties concerned of to
London to view the coronation of Queen
Victoria. The elderly squire falls in
love with Dorothy" and the latter re-
turns 1t, but only as the love of child
for a father. 1t Is during the visit to
London that he realizes the hopeless
ness of his affection. but in order to
cherish her memory he buys the house
they have occupied during the ceremo-
MES as a sacred shrine to return to on
every anniversary Of this occasion. The
final act shows "Sir Jasper" a tottering
old man of 30 years returning for the
last time to this shrine.
Mr. NELL will play the part of Sir
Jasper"

BUY RUSSIAN TRAMNAYS
AN AMERICAN SYNDICATE IN ST.
PETERSBURG.
Offers to Take the Entire System of
the Russian Capital and Completely
Electrify and Modernize it.

The offer OF Murray A. Warner of
Pittsburg, Pa, to buy all the munich
pal and private street railways of st.
Petersburg, introduce electric traction
and organize a complete system of
electrical tramways, has been received
very Idvorably by the st. Petersburg
pres. The municipal council has been
discussing the matter for several years,
but Mr.. Warmers offer is the first gem
ulne step towards the introduction of
electricity. The city owns three lines
and a number of other lines are owned
and operated by private companies.
The city has begun legal proceedings
against these companies with view
to unifying all the surface traction
companies, and Mr.. Warmers offer stip-
ulates that the city shall turn the pri-
vate lines over to him when the mat
ter has been litigated.
Mr.. Warmers offer Is regarded by the
press as straightforward, businesslike
and fair. IL is too early to predict,
since many cooks help to make broth
in this city, but the municipal council
was not approached until Mr.. Warner,
who had been to st. Petersburg three
times within four years, had carefully
studied the whole problem from fin
ancial and technical point of view, and,
". A. Haydecker, the American vice
through his local representative,
consul, had sounded various authorities
about the matter.
Mr. Warmers proposal is, briefly stat
ed, to organize a company under the
laws of Russia, with a capital stock OF
SO, 000, 600 roubles and the right TO issue
bonds to the same amount lie states
that he and his friends can supply the
money. He would agree to complete
the transformation of all existing lines
into electrical lines within four years
from the date of the franchise, ana
would so arrange the traffic that no
needless change of cars would take
place in going to and from the center
of the city.

IEHUA IN SONG AND STORY

BLEM LONG AGO.
Mrs. Frances Sinclair Many Years

A correspondent who has become In
terested In the suggestion OF nural
emblem FOR the Territory of Hawai-.
calls attention TO the following in Mrs
Frances Sinclair's indigenous Flowers
of the Hawaiian Islands" This work
was written number of years ago. but
the appOsiteness of Mrs. SinClair's de-
scription of the Lehua and her sugges-
tion of It as an appropriate emblem Is
very striking Ia the present discussion.
Mrs. Sinclair speaks of n as the Lee
hua and sometimes an the Ohia- Lehua,
and gives the botanical name as Metro
sideros POlymOrpha.
OF the flower she says:
Perhaps there is more graceful song
and story connected with the Lehua
than with any other Hawaiian flower. IL
is so well known, and so striking "A fea-
ture in the landscape when i'm fun

the flowers seem to increase in brilli-
any in proportion as they are found
above the sea level. There are several
varieties of the Lehua. A few are
found almost white or pale yellow. In
spring many of the young leaves are
of bright orange scarlet These leaves,
and afterwards the blossoms, contrast
beautifully with the dark evergreen
foliage. The blossoms are loaded with
honey, which is the favorite food of the
lovely "olokele" a small bird with bril-
liant scarlet plumage. Few sights in
the Hawaiian Islands realize ones
dreams of the tropics so fully, as

fitting from flower to flower, the birds
only distinguishable from the blossoms

N1cKNAMrs IN AUSTRALIA.

Although the Australian colonies

the nicknames bestowed by one pro-
vince on another will be abandoned.
The Inhabitants of New South Wales
have long been known as corn

slimness of the average young New
South Wales native. Victorians are
known as "gumsuckers," with refer
ence to the gum that is found on many
native trees, some OF which is relished
by the juveniles. "CrOweaters," as APP
piled to the South Australians, owes
it's origin to a statement that I'm times
of drought the wheat farmers of South
Australia are driven to the source sug-
gested for food. "Wheatfelders" is
more euphonious name sometimes used
for the same province. The Queens

KILLED BY TROLLEY CAR.
FtRsr FATAL ACCIDENT on THE
NEW LINE.
Manuel Peter was Thrown IN Front OF
Electric Car on Lillha Street Yester.
day and Killed.

The first tragedy by the new trolley
cars occurred yesterday afternoon
about $3.50 o'clock on Liliha street near
Wyllie just makai of the Ahlo residence
Manuel Peter, Portuguese youth
about 10 years of age, was instantly
killed by Car No. 4 of the Liliha street
extension line. SO far as the authori-
ties have been able to ascertain, the
tragedy was not due to the fault Of
either the boy or the motorman. but to
a fractions horse which Peter was rid
ing, just before he was thrown in front
of the car.
In Nompany with George Holt and
Kapena, another native, young Peter
was riding horseback toward Honolulu.
He was employed as a cowboy, driving
stock from the various steamers
through the city. Car No. 4, Of which
Motorman Cooke was in charge, APP
preached from the rear. The motorman
noticed that the horse, on which Peter
was riding, seemed rather fractions, so
slowed down the car almost to a stand
still Holt and the native man turned
their horses to the left of the car track
while the horse, which carried Peter,
jumped across the road into the ditch
by the side of the track. As soon as
Peter appeared to have quoted the ami
NAL and gotten it under control, Cooke
started up the car and by the time it
came up with the horse and rider, the
car was going very rapidly
The horse became frightened again
and began backing toward the track as
the animal heard the car approaching.
The horse fell in front of the car and
the rider was thrown on the track. One
of the legs of the horse got caught un-
der the fender, causing that guard to
be raised to such height, that 1t pass
ed over the body of Peter and permit
ted the front wheel of the car as well
to pass over the young mans body
Peter does not appear to have made
any effort to eXtricate himself when he
fell and, ii is thought from this fact
that his head must have struck against
the ground or else the horse kicked him
in the head and rendered him uncon-
scious. Peters skull was fractured on
the right side and ii is likely that either
of these causes produced that injury
The wheel of the car simply ground the
trunk of the helpless youth into a mass
of broken bones and torn flesh. The
body was nearly severed. Practically
every rib was broken, the spinal col
umn was cut in two besides and other
injuries were inflicted. Death was in
Simultaneous. 1t is more than likely
that the fractured skull rendered the
young man unconscious before the car
hit him.
The car had to be raised from the
body with the aid of jack-screws. An
invetigation by the police satisfied
High Sheriff Brown that the affair was
an accident and as all Of the state
ments of bystanders went to exhonorate
the motorman, Cooke was not taken
into custody.
The deceased was a son of Manuel
Peter who is employed in one of the
Irwin warehouses. and they resided on
School street A coroner's jury was
summoned and will hold an inquest to-
night at Z o'clock. DR.. Mcdonald per-
formed the autopsy.

VEGETABLE RITTER

Is the COW to be altogether eliminated
from the dairy? The British consul
general at Marseilles hears that "a new
fatty substance, for consumption in the
United Kingdom, to take the place OF
butter, is being put on the British mar
ket. 1t is called vegetaline, and is
nothing else than the oil extracted from
copra dried cocOanut), refined. and
with all smell and taste neutralized by
a patented process. II becomes like
sweet lard, and is intended to compete
with margarine on the breakfast table
as substitute for butter" A Liver
pool firm, we are told, will this year
help in an effort to popularize the stuff.

TALKS ON ADVERTISING.

The best way to advertise Il Just %
advertise. Get at It with a view to haV-
ing the people know what you most
desire to sell, and incidentally letting
them know that the specified items DO
not represent your full stock. Say In
teresting things about interesting goods
and have the goods to talk.
Men talk OF the secret Of successful
advertising. but It is all very plain. The
essentials are to oner what people
want. at fair prices, and to offsr It In
. way that will make readers know
they want It. The art in writing an
advertisement is to speak a. the inter
ested and Well-Informed merchant
would speak to a prospective customer.
The mere appearance Of a business
mans name and address in every issue
Of a leading newspaper will do work to
Increase his trade. Every business man,
however, IL able to give facts about his
establishment which will encourage
people to deal with him. To state such
facts clearly in a newspaper Is the prins
eipal secret Of successful advertising.
The idea that 1t takes a number Of
Impressions to make the average ad-
Vertisement effective is not new. Forty
years ago an English advertiser SAID
to the publisher Of the Cornhiu Maya
zine: I'VE don't consider that An ad-
Vertisement seen for the first time By
q reade, is worth much. The second
time It counts for something. The third
time the readers attention Is arrested;
the fourth time he reads It through ana
thinks about it; the fifth makes a pur-
chaser Of him. It takes time to soak
