STORIES OF THE STREET
A Balky Gun in the Barbara Friet-
chic" Performance.-Salary Bothers
Prospective Stage Light.

Among the stories that are being dis
cussed on the street Is the incident or
accident of the evening performance or
barbara" Frietchie" on Thanksgiving
which was similar to the one In
Katheryn Kidder's Molly Pitcher"
when the cannon's perversty spoiled
the climax of the play
In this case IL was the cannon's
younger brother. the army gun, that
caused the trouble. At the end of the
second act, when Barbara's lover is In
danger OF the sharpshooter she arms
herself with Il gun and before the lat
ter has a chance to do his mischief she
fires and wings him. Barbara pulled
the trigger right enough but there
was no report; the cap was defective.
The firing of the gun was supposed to
furnish strong climax to the scene.
but when 1t failed to make Il noise, tho
situation fell fiat. Laughter Uttered
round the house, at the farce-like tab
leauN. Barbara the sharpshooter
and the minister's wife stood trans
fixed, waiting for the curtain to drop
to relieve their embarrassment. The
curtain mans cue was the firing OF
the shot. But there was no shooting
and naturally no curtain came down.
Finally the minister's wife in the eX-
tremlty Of the ordeal. eXclaimed:
Ring down the curtain!"
BY this time the stage hands realized
there was something occurring that
was not on the programme. 1t re-
quired only an instant to take in the
situation and to try to cover the balk-
ing of the gun somebody back of the
scenes fired a shot that sounded more
like a cap pistol than n gun. II seemed
like the echo of q discharge a mile
away. This was fully u half minute
after Barbara s. accident With her
misbehaved gun. The curtain then
came down with IL lightning roll and
just after it dropped there was Il loud
report the shot that "Barbara' should
have fired which she didn't.
"rhe wars not over yet" said some
one in the audience loud enough to ex-
plode the laughter that was being sup
pressed. In the next act when the poor
sharpshooter appeared with his hand
tied UP in bandages everybody smiled
again and wondered if "Barbara's"
gun was not one of the new tangled
kind that does damage with no noise.
This story recalls one that is con-
nected with the production of Low
er's Lane" which will take place at
the Grand during the coming week.
Frank Tralles, who has charge of the
supernumeraries or, in less elegant
language, the "supers' for the village
scenes. encountered a lad who has been
on the stage before and who has a
fixed, definite idea Of his stage pres
ence. Mr.. Tralles indicated to the
young man what would be expected
Of him if he would be willing to take
part in the play. The prospective Nat
Goodwin gave no decided answer. but
said he would consult his parents to
get that permission He left, but
turned suddenly, saying in characteris-
tic style: Say. if you're to get me,
what's going to be the salary

TerrOrized The Town.

A Pine Bluff dispatch says the little town of English on the line of Pine Bluff and Arkansas Riv- CT Railway, has, since Satur- day, been terrorized by T. N. Craig, white carpenter, who ran amuck in that place Saturday night.
 Craig's first offense was meet ing the daily local train which arrived in the town Saturday evening and driving the engineer and fireman from their cab. Armed with a gun he refused to allow the two men to return and held them at bay all that night. Sunday he attempted to kill sew eral persons, among them his wife. Sunday night he took a stand in the main thoroughfare and terrorized the natives by shooting at everything that stir red or moved. Craig slept Mon- day morning and this alone per- mitted the engineer and fireman to get their train out. The ser vices of five men were required to seize and bind Craig. He is now in jail here.

MANY humorous features were developed in the taking of sensus of 1900. One question was indi- dated by the remark ''length of residence" which was expected to show how long the people liv- ing in various localities at the time of the census had been there. When the reports came it was found that many of these queries were answers in figures in this ways: 20x40, 16x30, etc. The enumerators has gone round with a foot rule and measured the length of the residences of the people they counted. This reminds us of a local ad we saw in a paper not long since adver- Using resident lots for sale.'

RELATIVE to the action of the Republican Central Committee of Boone county, the Boone Banner remarks: eff we have been re- liably informed a majority of the Central Committee favored B. M.

There is a picture behind the scenes that might be worth more to Foreman than the endorsement if brought to light at the proper time."

Cesspools.

City Sanitary Officer Tracy concludes
his report for April to the Board OF
Health, by making the following COM
ment on several insanitary places in
the city.
l am very glad to be able to say that
the Public Works Department are fill
ing the pond just mauka of the gov
eminent wash houses at Iwilei. This
does away with one of the most dang
erous spots of Honolulu.
Another good work will commence in
a day or two when the Oahu Railway
and Land Company begin pumping to
fill that large tract of condemned land
belonging to Winam, lying on both
sides of Beretania street at Aala, and
extending up to Liliha.
The opening of the sewer on King
street, Eva, Of the stream and on Lili-
ha below School street, has already
done away with some of the worst nuis-
ances in the city, because formerly the
cesspools along these streets were con-
tinually overlooking.
During the last four months for weeks
at a time there were from ten to TWEEN
ty cesspools overlooking at one time, in
spite of the very best efforts of the
Excavator Department.

AN ACTOR TALKS.
Henry Hallam of the stanton Opera
Co., Voices His Ideas.

Mr.. H. Hallam, manager of tbe
Josephine Stanton Opera Company. ex.
presses himself as highly pleased with
the reception given his company by
the Island people.
OF course" said Mr.. Hallam, sit Is
big undertaking to carry an opera
troupe to Australia; nothing but first
class attractions succeed in that coun-
try L have no hesitation In saving
that Australia leads the world In opera
light, comic and grand. Some OF the
most prominent people or Honolulu
nave expressed the opinion that orr
company gave as good a performance
as they nave seen of the various op-
eras. Ih1s coming from people who
nave heard all the prominent singers
OF the world, means a great deal to
me- might mention that from the
way in which the seats for Fra Dia-
volo'' have been selling. it looks as IF
the honolulu public in general has
awakened to the fact that our compa-
ny is all that we represent it.
we naturally would like to do good
business In Honolulu, and appreciate
very much the interest taken in our
iast lew performances. As far assun-
kind criticisms are concerned. allow mo
to state that / know exactly how thew
came to be published, and such actions
on the part of our enemies, men who.
by the way, are heavily indebted to
several members of our company, will
only work against them later on. and
act as boomerang, as it were. ANY
one who would attack a sweet little
woman in such a manner as was done
by certain paper a few days since.
IS not deserving the name of man. and
the Honolulu public are apparently
that they resent sucn treat
ment towards one who has won their
hearts, not only by her sweet voice.
but by her graciousness and winning
ways Let me tell you emphatIcally.
and here Mr.. Hallam waxed warm
that the Honolulu public long ago
won our aloha, and few bad houses
can never change our opinion of a peo
pie who have always shown us every
kindness and consideration
