new play. founded on his popular novel
Of the same title. will be presented for
one week, beginning next Monday evening.
at the Academy of Music
The story OF Near the Throne" is told
in four acts. The locale is Cairo, the time
1899. during Napoleon Bonaparte's con-
quest of Egypt. The first act pictures a
garden. while in the distance the Nile is
seen creeping from the sandy desert past
the defiant pyramids. The second act rep
resents an Egyptian room used as sur
gerry by young officer in the army of
France. The third act affords a view Of a
terrace in front of the historic palace of
Saladin, with q stone wall. breast high,
stretching along the bank OF the Nile.
The fourth act represents the throne
room in the Citadel, which is a hall full
of regal glories; a flight of marble steps
leads up to two massive doors guarded on
either side by great sphinx of basalt,
hanging lamps and candelabra of burnish-
ed brass send flood of light upon pillars
OF granite and regal decorations of purple
and gold. But half OF this dazzling mag
niicence is destroyed in a terrific explo-
sion when Napoleon returns in haste from
Palestine; Murad Is killed by Balzar the
hero, near the throne; the latter triumphs
to the stirring music of the "Marseillaise.
and all ends happily for him and his
sweetheart, Maria. the Egyptian, who is
the heroine OF both novel and play.
Near the Throne will be presented by
a good cast, foremost among whom ere
Lawrence Hanley, Gertrude Lewis. and
Francis Drake, who are supported by
players of unusual excellence; w. J.

The Gay Masqueraders, with many
new features, will open at Kernan's to-
morrow matinee, and promise q show
brimful of spice and merit. The advent
OF the company bearing the old familiar
title on their annual visits is hailed with
pleasure and satisfaction by host of
amusement seekers, who enjoy good,

Miss Bessie Stanton, whose reputation
as a model gives her rank among the
foremost burlesquers of the stage was a
pupil Of the late Matt Morgan. the artist,
during his last active days. Morgan,
whose living statues at one time created
a sensation everywhere they were shown,
had in view, shortly before he died. an
other tour of the country with his own
mastery groupings, and among the models
he selected was Miss Stanton. He found
his time pretty well occupied with orders
from burlesque managers who desired spe-
cial groupings Among the first to fall
in line when the craze for living pictures
was revived. were Miaco and Morris. then
joint owners of the City Club The order
they gave the artist included some of the
most elaborate groupings he ever attempt
ed, and the success with which they met
on the road fully repaid the managers
for their outlay.
Miss Stanton, not then out OF her teens,
was the central figure OF many OF the
groupings, one OF which Diana at the
Bath" was the talk of the season. Miss
Stanton's services at that time were too
valuable to Mr.. Morgan for him to think
of parting with her. and she refused q
number OF good offers. 1t was her for

Few people realize the immense amount
OF labor Lieutenant Santelmann has expert
enced in the organization and drilling OF
the Washington Philharmonic Orchestra,
which will give its second concert this
evening at the Columbia Theatre. The
success that attended the first concert evil
denced the splendid material of the or
chestra and the unusually large amount of
excellent musical talent there is in this
city.
There is no apparent reason why the
Philharmonic Orchestra should not pro-
gress and become an active competitor for
honors in music with the Pittsburg Or
chestra, led by Victor Herbert, the New
York Philharmonic Orchestra led by Emil
Paur. or the Boston symphony Orches "a
led by Mr.. Geriche All that is nee sssary
is the support of public-spirited men TN
til it shall get on its feet and be able to
command the attention of the public 1t
is a fact that each of the above named
organizations was a losing venture at the
start and in the case OF the Boston SYM
phony Orchestra over S25G,00 was ex-
pended before the orchestra began TO pay.
Mr.. Santelmann will. no doubt. have a
struggle to get through this season. but
those interested in the project are of the
opinion that before next fall a sufficient
number of business men can be secured
who will advance the necessary funds to
carry the organization to success next
season. 1t will be credit to the Ma
tional Capital because no better material
can be found in any of the other big or
chestras of the country than Mr.. Santel-
mann has at his command, and the work
done at the first concert shows the artistic
character of the members and their thor
ough sympathy with their director. The
personnel of the orchestra includes the
best players of the Marine Band, of which
Mr. Santelmann is the director, and also
the best of the civilian musicians in the
District who freely give their time TO re-
hearsals in order that the enterprise may
prove success.

NEW CHURCH Az LAHAINA.
The Gilbert Islanders Build and
Dedicate a Chapel.

The Gilbert Islanders of Lahaina de-
dictated new chapel Sunday morning,
August 4. Following the dedicatory
services a dinner was served on the
lawn. This work has been accomplish
ed under the leadership of their pastor,
Lutera, who aided by his Pensioners
did most of the work of constructing
and painting. OF Lutera, the Friend
has the following to say:
Pastor Lutera, who has spiritual
charge of the colony at Lahaina, is a
man of large experience with this peo-
pie. During several years of residence
in the Gilbert Islands as a missionary
he acquired a fluent use of their Ian
guage and had his sympathies tho
roughly enlisted by them. In 1891, on
account of the failure of his wife's
health, he returned to Hawaii, and ever
since, with the exception of a tenn
porary pastorate at Napoopoo, Kona
Hawaii, and a short period of nervous
trouble and mental alteration, follow
ing his wife's death. he has been a
faithful worker for the Gilbert Island
ers resident here.
His first work was done in Pahala,
Kau, where. in addition to his other
duties, he ,enderly cared for about forty
Gilbert Islanders. For thr- e years since
his recovery he has been caring for the
colony at Puunoa, Lahaina, where there
is a church building set apart specially
for their use. This structure when al
lotted to them was in great need of re-
pair, later it became untenable. Lutera
then set to work to raise money for the
necessary outlay of rebuilding. About
500 were collected, additional lumber
was bought and he and his people took
down the old structure and put up
new one in its place. Much credit is
due to this little company of Christians
for what they have done. During Mr..
Lutera's illness, when he was consider
ed insane, his title to the order of the
ministry was taken from him. but it is
our opinion that the time has fully
come when it should be restored"

THAT TIRED FEELING.

What constitutes q load de-
Ponds on the strength of tho
man or beast who has to carry it
and the conditions under which
he carries it. We hear people,
continually talk Of being tired
who have not done a sufficient
amount Of work to make them
so. This sensation is popularity
spoken of as "that tired feeling"
People who have it often take
stimulants to drive it away the
relief, however, is but momen-
tary. A relapse follows and they
feel more weary and depressed
than before. For the trouble is
not in the muscles but in tho
blood. Certain humors or poi-
sons, arising from indigestion OF
otherwise, deprivethe blood of ita
sustaining life-giving power, pros
ducing q result similar to what
would follow from too much ex-
ertion and too little rest. But
whereas in the case of q healthy
person the tired feeling would pass
away under the influence of sleep
and repose, it is not so in this
instance. On the contrary, sleep
itself is broken and imperfect, and
the sufferer rises in the morning
unrefreshed and feeling as heavy
and dull as when he went to
bed. An effective remedy like
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
is needed to purge the blood of
the impurities which PROSTATE
the nerves and sap the sources
of physical vigor. It is palata-
bic as honey and contains the,
nutritive and curative properties
of Pure Cod Liver Oil, extracted

In all cases of Wasting Disease,
rheumatism, Bowel Complaints,
Fevers, Poverty of Blood, Weak
ness and lack of Nervous Tone,
it comes more nearly to being a
specific than any other known
remedy. You may trust it on its
merits. Effective from the first
dose. "You cannot be disappoint-
ed in it." Sold by all chemists.

.THE LOAN an OVERDRAFT
HOW THE TREASURER RAISED
THE S15OOOO.
Under Act 40 of the Session Laws of
1898 Prescribing Just What Could be
Done and How.

The arrangement announced else
where in this issue by which the terri
torial treasurer has secured a Joan of
$150,000 from the Bank of Hawaii and
Claus Spreckels & Company, bankers,
to meet current obligations, is in the
nature of a negotiation with these
banks of an overdraft. The transaction
was done under authority of Act 40 of
the session laws of 1898 which very
clearly describes it's character. 1t is
entitled "An Act to further provide for
the payment Of current accounts" and
is as follows:
whereas 1t is expedient that authority
should be given to the Minister of
Finance to secure funds Temperate
ly on loan by way of a bank over
draft; now therefore:
BE it enacted by the Legislature of
the Republic of Hawaii:
Section l. The Minister of Finance,
with the approval of the Executive
Council, is authorized during each bien-
NAL period to open a bank account or
bank accounts in the name of the Gov
eminent of the Republic of Hawaii,
with any bank or banks or financial
institution carrying on business in Ho-
nolulu, and from time to time, during
each such period, to receive on loan by
WAY of overdraft on such account or ac-
counts, such sums of money not to ex-
coed in the aggregate $15O,00O at any
one time, as the said Minister and the
lsaid Council may deem necessary ia
meet the current expenses of the said
EGovernment.
Section 2. The moneys borrowed by
authority of this Act shall be repayable
by the Minister of Finance unon his
tender of the same, together with in
terest not exceeding six per cent. per
annum in Gold Coin of the United
States of America.
Section 3. No money shall be OBJ
tanned on such account or accounts ex-
cept against Departmental drafts or or
ders on the Treasury of an equal
amount duly accepted by the Minister
of Finance.
"Section 4. All moneys received I'M
der the authority of this Act shall be
paid out and used only for the current
expenses under appropriations made by
the Legislature, as aforesaid, of the
Government and such moneys shall be
repayable, and the interest thereon
shall be paid out of the current reve-
nue. of the Government as provided by
the Legislature"
In making up his estimates of re.
ceipts and expenditures for the presen
fiscal period, Treasurer Wright left GU
the income tax altogether, as there Is
a chance that the law may be knocked
out. In the total estimate of revenue
there is the sum of $2,7000O0 for taxes
If the income tax law is sustained. the
receipts from the new tax will be addi
tional.
