The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1901-05-23

Some of our scientists may soon tell
us the relationship between statesman
ship and badness. Most of the leaders
in our pubic life are distressingly short
of hair. There are exceptions, of course,
but lie rule holds. In former years our
statesmen were not bald. George Wash
ington's powdered locks, John Adams
sweeping curls, Andrew Jackson's precip-
itous pompadour, and even the long
strands that fell in their disorderly way
from the head of Lincoln, prove this. OF
course, the country was not so large
then as it is now, and they had no ex-
pansion. no trusts, and few bosses There
was fun enough in politics to keep the
, hair from falling out Perhaps our mod
ern statesmen are worrying too much.
The only consolation is that the badness
is only partial, and while there is hair
! there is hone-EX

which was in many ways a phenome-
nal success. The German machine was
able to fly, being elevated by large
balloons of hydrogen gas, but, while it
was able to rise and was propelled at
a fair rate of speed, the difficulty was
in descending to the earth. The ex-'
pensive gas had to be let out of the
balloon, which not only made every
trip very costly, but there was no
means of a gradual and easy contact
with terra frma, with the result that
the fine aluminium machinery was bad
ly shaken, and eventually the machine
was virtually destroyed. The Califor-
MIA machine has powerful propellors
on top of these dirigible balloons, to
which the engines can be switched
when the operator wishes to descend.
The idea is to depress the balloons in
stead of letting out the hydrogen gas.
If the inventor succeeds. as he expects,
his machine will be a marked advance
over anything that has yet appeared in
aerial locomotion-"

A Californian VINO Expects to Fly.

I'VE have a big flying machine IN

other day, "and its inventor has nlgh
homes of a successful trial at an early
day. The engines have been built by
the man who built the engines for the

experts to be wonders for lightness and
enormous driving power. Their weight
is less than the specifications called

KYRLE Bellows NEW PLAY.
"a Gentleman of France" Success
fully Produced Mt Ottawa.

Kyrle BeIIew. who has been engaged
by Liebler & Co. for tour of the United
States, commenced his season in
dramatic version of Stanley Weyman's
novel. "A Gentleman of France, at
Ottawa, Canada last night. and, from
the following despatch, scored a success:
"Kyrle Belew tonight gave the first
presentation of Harriet Fords dramatiza-
tion of Stanley Weymans romance, A
Gentleman of France. The occasion
which served to reintroduce Mr.. Bellew
as star was made a gala event, and the
theatre boxes were all occupied by Lord
Mimic. Governor General of Canada, and
his suite The magnificent production of
"A Gentleman of France, which was made
under the management of Liebler & Co,
the American managers. was the most
stupendous spectacle that has ever been
exhibited on the stage of Ottawa
There were curtain calls almost with
out number. 1t was necessary to lift the
second act and fourteen times at the ter
mination of the third act. AT the con-
clusion of the play the audience refused
to leave the theatre until MIR. Bellew and
the entire company passed in front of the
curtain.
There can be no question as to the
pronounced success of the inaugural OF
Mr.. Bellows starring tour under the
chief player was forceful, graceful,
studiGus at times, dashing always, and
the magnetic personality that has in
variably characterized Mr.. Bellows per-
formances was in evidence more perhaps
tonight than ever before. His was a
great personal success. Eleanor Robson,
the leading lady, came in for a liberal
share of the praise. and her daintiness,
charm of manner, and Intelligent reading
of her lines caused her to achieve a sue
cess only overshadowed by Mr.. Bellows.
The company, which is of uniform excel
lence. includes John Blair, John Flood,
Frank e. Aiken Charles Barron, Clarence
Handyside, Howell Hansell Edgar Sell
wyn, Ada Dwyer Charlotte Walker, Rose
Lemoyne, and score ofJothers.
The different scenes represent the
courts of Henry III of France and Henry
of Navarro. Mrs. Ford s. dramatic version
Of the story is intensely interesting. and
in the hands of kyrle Bellew and his
companion players is easily the best piece
that has yet been made over from

President Roosevelt has granted a par
don to Gunner Charles Morgan, who came
into prominence through the action of
Rear Admiral Sampi on. at the time his
request TO be commissioned an ensign was
made, and rest ored to him the numbers

Gunner Morgan for professional skill and
gentlemanly conduct, expressed his
doubts as to the policy of raising any
warrant officers to the proposed rank.

An interesting announcement for next
week at the Academy of Music is the
presentation of Edgar Smiths latest play,
Home, Sweet Home" Heretofore Mr..
Smith has been identified with opera books
and burlesques and his departure into the
broader field of drama has so far met
with unqualified success. for Home,
Sweet Home" is said to tell story of
absorbing interest. 1t is described as a
comedy drama in four acts. and relates
pretty love story which. like many
others. does not run on very smooth
ground
The action of the play occurs In little
village in the interior of New York State
and it's locale furnishes the author with
ample opportunity for the introduction of
amusing characters. The play is said to
wholly coincide with its name in purity,
sweetness, and gentle tone. 1t touches
the heart in reciting Il sweet home story,
pentifully iuterspersed with good, clean
comedy, both of which make pleasing
combination of tears and laughter. The
superior variety and the incidents of the
interest in the story never abates. An
unusually strong company has been Sc
cured to present the play, including
Harry Brown, the well-known character
actor Special scenery has been prepared,
