Irwin on the Paris Exposition last
summer, was received and placed on
file. Mr.. Irwin, as commissioner, states
that he was accorded every privilege
and shown many faSors by the direc-
torate. He referred also to the distri-
hutton of pamphlets sent him by the
Chamber of Commerce. There was no
doubt in his mind that the distribu-
tion of this reading matter would result
in great good to the Islands.
The matter Of Hawaii being repre-
scented at the Pan-Amercan Exposition
at Buffalo this season was brought up
for discussion but was deferred until
Chamber of Commerce wish first to
learn the wishes of the Territorial Off
cials In the matter. J. B. Atherton
was OF the opinion that VIM. Haywood,
now in Washington representing the
Planters Association. would be good
man to represent Hawaii should it be
decided to send an exhibit.
The claims of the quarantine COM
mittee. organized among the merchants
during the plague, came up for dis
cussion. A communication from Castle
& Cooke was read, asking to be reim-
bursed in the sum OF 1888, advanced
to the committee at that time. 1t was
finally decided that the Chamber OF
Commerce instruct the committee to
confer with the government regarding
the reimbursement and endeavor to
have the amount included in the APP
preparation bill. Adjournment was
then taken.

The Gay Mir. Goldsteln.

When "The Gay Mir. Goldstein" is pre- sented at the Jefferson Theatre next Saturday matinee and night, playgoers will enjoy not only a novelty in comedy, but one that Is of such mirthful atmos- phere that the audience laughs from the time the first line Is spoken until ''The Gay Mir Goldstein" bids good night. But the most important factor is that in 1t will be seen three stars. Mary Hampton has long been known as one of the most clever artists on the American stage, and her long association with Charles Froh- mans companies as leading lady. and the plays she has been featured in, has given her a recognition by theatre-goers which has ingratiated her with them. The actors starring with her are equally as popular Thomas J. Keogh has been con sidsred comedian of the foremost rank, imbued with a sense of humor that never fails to arouse the audience. George C. Boniface, Jr.. has long been a star, and is well known in this city. "The Gay MT. Goldstein' is not of the lower class, but is refined Hebrew play, in the society of refined people.

Dan Quinlan has turned out something distinctly new and novel in the way of a first part for Al. c. Fields minstrels. Of course. the popular jokes, parodies and sentimental melodies are retained, but they are made part of a beautiful pano- ramic picture of the Pan-American Expo sition. There are funny lend men," a middle man" and the usual corps of musicians and vocalists, but they are a part of the exposition scene. The middle man." Dan Quinlan, known by all admir- CTS of minstrelsy, does not sit in the cen ter of the half-circle in the conventional way, but walks about among the fun makers as though holding a conversation with old friends met here and there. The buildings of the exposition are shown one after another with excellent light effect. At the end of this the specialists and fun makers have their inning just as they have had for years But they are all good. and there Is laugh in every turn. Fields. Donnelly, Wall and the rest have just as many laugh-producers as ever. There Is a musical turn that can hardly be excelled for originality. tumbling team and two clever performers on the horizontal bar.

precious time with other remedies, no man can tell. But 1t is almost certain that 1t would have ended in inourable Bright's disease of the kidneys, which sooner or later would have proved fatal.
