Ewa,the BannerP Plantation
HONOLULU PLANTATION CO.,
BY its Manager.

There is perhaps no other plantation In the
entire Hawaiian Islands, which, for the ten
years II has been In existence, has grown
SO rapidly and has produced SO much sugar
per acre as the Eva Plantation Company's.
Briefly stated. the property is some eight
cen miles from Honolulu, and is reached
over the railroad system of the o. r. & L.
Co., and has total acreage valuable for cane
of approximately 1000 acres of leased lands,
of which area $500 acres is under cutiva-
ton and planted to the Lahaina variety.
The first cane planted by the company
was in 1890 and comprised 40 acres planted
for seed, since which period the plantation
has grown by leaps and bounds, not only
In the extent of cane area but the number of
tons Of sugar produced to the acre. The
greatest elevation that cane Is planted is 200
feet, while the character OF the soil varies
from light red on the uplands to a black
loan on the low lands and may be classed
as good and extra good SOIL A complete
analysis Of the soils in the various fields Is
regularly kept, in order that 1t can be
readily ascertained just what amount Of
fertilizer may be required.
notable feature of this plantation is
the high average yield of long
and short rattoons when compared to
plant cane, which shows clearly that It is
not the soil altogether that enables such q
yield as ten and twelve tons OF sugar to the
acre. but the methods of cultivation, fertili-
cation, proper distribution OF water, as like.
wise deep blowing. II is evident, indeed.
that extra deep blowing and heavy fertiliza-
ton are the two principal agencies that have
produced the results In 1894 the expense for
fertilizer was $3.75 per acre. whereas in 1900
the expense was $41.37 per acre.
In order to carry out the idea of extra deep
blowing the company imported from John
Fowler & Co. CLeeds) Limited, London,
what Is called an "Oliver" pillow, which gave
such great satisfaction that an additional or
der was placed for the Waialua plantation. Of
which property Messrs. Castle & Cooke of
Honolulu are likewise the agents.
With the OLIVER pillow the soil can be
turned over to depth Of fully two feet. II Is
q single share pillow of extra heavy parts and
built solid In order to stand the severe strain
put upon 1t. In fields where the much dread
ed growth Of "Lantana" has taken hold of
the soil the "Oliver" plows remove 1t out by
the roots and effectually kill 1t.

a sadder and wiser man and engaged
another actor familiar with the part
and with rhythm and verse"
Another story of Irving's early life
relates to a joke that he, with Mr..
Toole and a third party, played some
years ago at a Glasgow hotel
After their work they were supping
at the hotel, where, says Sir Henry,
there was in the room a high screen
The instant the waiter was gone we
commenced operations. We stripped
the silverware, of which there was a
tolerable supply, from the table and
placed it behind the screen. We then
opened the window and turned out the
gas and finally got under the table.
We had only to remain in our cramped
position a few minutes before we heard
the unsteady feet of the waiter along
the passage.
THE darkened room amazed him,
and the cold air from the window seem
ed to strike him with alright
" Goodnessr exclaimed he. It's
thieves they are! All tocht as much frae
the luiks O. them and frae their gay
talk and their laughter! Eli, but Ah'm
a ruined mon. All wish All had nae TAX
en- the hale O. that last bottle! Hear,
heart Thieves, thievesl Murder!
Thieves, thievesI And, shouting at the
top of his voice, he ran out of the room
and along the passage.
The minute he had gone we shut the
door, lit the gas, restored the silver to
the table and sat round as before, en-
joying a quiet cigar. Presently there
was a confused murmur along the pas
sage. 1t grew louder and louder, and
in poured a truly motley throng, mostly
half dressed, consisting of the man
ager, two men in bare legs and slippers.
and a lady with blanket in the alarm
of fear caught up, followed by our ag-
onizing friend, the waiter. One man
was armed with a poker. and the other
carried a bronze statuette ready to hurl
at the thief. As they entered we all sat
back and looked at them in well feign-
ed amazement, and Toole said to the
astonished and bewildered manager
DO you always come in this way with
your friends when a gentleman asks
for his bill?'

and threw her arms around her Still
the child continued to scream, and Mrs.
Charles Kean, seeing what was the
matter, came on the stage and struck
with her heel for the trapdoor to be
opened.
The man naturally mistook the sig
nal and shut it tighter, and the child's
screams redoubled. Mrs. Kean whis-
pered to her:
BE brave girl, Nellie, and finish
your part, and you shall play in King
john"
The trapdoor was by this time open
ed, but the little girls toe was broken
She finished her speech, however,
though she tainted when she got off the
stage. Later on she played the part of
Prince Arthur.
Although at present one of the ac-
knowledged queens of the stage, Miss
Terry confesses to stage fright, the
symptoms of which she describes in the
following terms:
You suddenly feel as if your tongue
had become diSlocated and was lying
powerless in your mouth. Cold shivers
begin to creep downward from the nape
of your neck and all up you at the
same time, until they seem to meet in
the small of your back. About this
time you feel as if a centiped, all of
whose feet had been carefully iced, had
begun to run about in the roots of your
hair Your next agreeable sensation is
at the breaking out of a cold perspira-
ton all over you. Then you feel as
though somebody had cut the muscles
at the back of your knees; your mouth
begins slowly to open without giving
utterance to a single sound, and your
eyes seem inclined to jump out of your
head over the footlights. AT this pc
riod it is as well to get off the stage as
quickly as possible. You are far be-
yond the hope of any human help"
Miss Ellen Terry visited America in
company with Henry Irving in 1883,
half a generation ago, and yet these
two versatile veterans, the one a grand
mother and the other a grandfather.
with children and grandchildren on and
in training for the stage, still appear as
youthful and resourceful as ever.

HENRY IRVING.
I, ELLEN TERRY
PERSONAL
ANECDOTES

n N writing about Henry Irving and
Ellen Terry one is more likely to
be embarrassed by a plethora
than by paucity of material
n The most striking phase in their
characters, it seems TO the casual
observer, is eccentricity. They seem
deliberately to have paid heed to the
dictum of the old writer that to acquire
a reputation for eccentricity is to seat
one in an easy chair for life. At all
events, no one can deny that, in COM
mon with many great geniuses, they
have their little eccentricities. Another
fact plainly apparent is that each one
is a compound of contrarieties. In
proof of this it is only necessary to call
attention to the salient features of
their lives. Sir Henry Irving, for ex-
ample, was born of lowly parentage,
yet has acquired a worldwide reputa-
ton for his aristocratic bearing. In
truth, it is whispered that it was his
noble presence and Enthusiastically arts
tocratic air that induced Queen Victo-
ria to knight him six years ago.
Nature made him gentleman, he
seems early to have perceived, so he
changed his baptismal name of John
Henry Brodribb to that of Henry Ir-
wing The only son of the late Samuel
Brodribb and his wife, born Bohemia.

A JOKE ON IRVING.

Years ago, when Sir Henry Irving
was playing in Chicago during one of
his earlier tours, a dinner was given in
his honor by number of actors, news
paper men and others of stage tastes.
One of the hosts was Henry Dixey. who
in the course of the evening was called
upon to add to the entertainment. With
a perfect imitation of Irving's best trag.
ic manner, he recited Three blind mice.
see how they run!'
The merriment about the table was
conVulsiVe until it was perceived that
irving was not taking the burlesuue for
the Joke it was meant and was plainly
showing his discontinue. The abashed
DlXey eXtricated himself as best he
could. and the guest of the evening was
tactfully restored to good humor The
story got out, however, and travelled
to England, where the friends of Irving
did not see any joke in it.
Meanwhile an Irving burlesque was
one Of the most popular bits in "Adon-
is" and when Dixey went to London a
few seasons later he kept the burlesque
in place. No sooner did he present it
than he was attacked with display of
bitterness by several papers and accus-
ed of holding Irving up to ridicule. The
Chicago incident also came in for a
new relation, and Mr.. Dixey lost pop
ularity.
After long absence from London
Mr.. Dixey recently went there to ac-
cept a post in the company offering
Hugh Morton" McClellan's musical
piece, 1.-THE Whirl of the Town" The
years, however, had not been enough
to drown British memory, and several
of the notices which announced Mr..
Dixey's engagement spoke of him as
the player who extensively caricatured
Sir Henry Irving a number of years
ago."
