THE DRAMA.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

An excellent house greeted Lewis
Morrisons first appearance in Honolulu
The play was Bulwer Lytton's stately
drama "Richelieu."
Mr.. Morrison as Cardinal Richelieu"
completely won the audience with his
rising with finely wrought graduation
from the calm, self possessed con-
seriousness of power in the first ap-
pearance through the dramatic eli
max of action as danger menaced, to
the complete mastery of the man en-
tirely great" The audience was gen
erous in it's applause, carried by the
masterful action of the play and the
player to more and more enthusiasm
and expression of enthusiasm, repeat
ing curtain call after curtain call until
it would not be satisfied without a
word from the stage from the masterful
"Richelieu" before it,
Mr.. Morrisons little speech was cour-
teous and complimentary and not with
out touch of the vanity and satisfac-
tion which many years of successful
stage work may well justify
The stately classic lines of Lytton' s
masterpiece, were the vehicle last night
for both the best work of the stars of
the company and the best work of the
support that has been given by this
company on this stage. AS Adrian de
Mauprat" Lucas Henderson was adj
mirable. Clarence Montaine was an
excellent Louis XIII" Paul Gerson
as "Gaston, Duke de Orleans showed a
splendid elocution and a worthy con-
ception of the character. Frank Read
lex as "Baradas" the kings favorite
rose to the playwright's conception of
the character. Jack Morris was the
Francois of a clear and exalted reali-
cation of the action of the character.
Clarence Arper was an excellent
Joseph" Carlyle Moore presented DE
Beringhen" eXcellently. Scott Robert
son made "Huguet" a living character.
James Rankin as First Courtier, -
Robert Shaw as Captain of the Guard

DEFALCATION OF S6O,OOO
DISCOVERED IN THE ACCOUNTS OF
A WILLIAMSBURG BANK.
Brooklyn Suburban Institution Rob-
bed by Two EmplOyes-One Is
Dead, One COnfesses.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-Defalcations
amounting. it is said, to $4,000 have been
discovered in the accounts of the Williams
burg Savings Bank, an institution con-
Quoted at Williamsburg, in the suburbs of
Brooklyn. Gen. ]. V. Meserole, the presi-
dent of the bank, is authority for the state
ment that the parties implicated in the af-
fair are Harry Z. Corbett, former paying
teller OF the bank, who died Nov. 2, and
George Zolleinhoffer, a receiving teller who,
it is alleged, gave the first information
leading to the discovery. The bank is fully
protected. 1t is said. by the bonds Of both
Corbett and Zolleinhoffer. Harry +. Cor
bett had been in the employ of the bank
for eighteen years. He was looked upon
as man of exemplary habits, and not the
slightest suspicion attached to him up to
the time OF his death.
According to General Meserole on Friday
of last week George Zolleinhoffer, one of
the receiving tellers, went TO Cashier Will
liam Burns and confessed to him that he
(Zolleinhofer) and Corbett had for the
past two or three years taken funds from
the institution for the purpose of stock
gambling, and that so far as he could esti-
mate the amount that had been lost was
between $4,000 and 100000. Cashier Burns
had Zolleinhoffer repeat his confession to
President Meserole, and a meeting of the
trustees of the bank followed.
The examination was not concluded that
day, nor is 1t yet concluded, but irregulari-
ties enough were found TO show that Zol-
leinhoffer had not exaggerated the extent
of the defalcations. Zolleinhoffer, after
making his confession, placed himself in
the hands of the trust companies, and is
aiding them in their investigation of the
books. He was, with one exception, the
oldest emplOye Of the bank, having been
with the institution for thirty-three years.
He is sixty years old.
The depositOrs are in no danger, as the
bank has surplus Of over $4,000 above the
deposits Of 100000. So far could be
learned to-day ZOllinhoffer had not been
arrested and ii is understood that he will
merely be kept under surveillance while he
is aiding the bank in untangling it's ac-
counts
