Saw Yardley Or.

The entire newspaper fraternity
and the Bohemian contingent Of
Honolulu went down to the Oceanic
wharf this morning, to bid Ralph
o. Yardley au revoir and bon voy-
age. Not one person ever left Ho-
nolulu with more floral offerings
than Ysrdley. Leis of every color
and description were piled around
his neck and hat as an eloquent
testimonial OF the esteem in which
be was held by his friends. A mum
Der OF persons whom he has made
familiar to the readers Of the Adver-
tiser during the past two years
were on hand, but by the expression
on their faces it was hard to tell
whether they we're glad or sorry to
see the artist go. The famous May
pole quartette were represented by
Judge Gear, Camarnos aud Son
ny" Cunha, while John Emmeluth
aud Bishop Willis we're not far
distant. f. j. Tesla was detained
at the fire Claims Commission but
sent a representative in his stead.
Much amusement was caused by
Emmeluth. He was standing alone
leaning against a pile Of freight
and staring at Yardley. For twenty
minutes his eyes did not move aud
it was evident that he was doing
some hard meditation, His fingers
were busy pulling at his whiskers
aud his eyes were glittering behind
his glasses In the meantime a
young man unknown to the habi-
tues of the Oceanic wharf was busy
with pencil and piece of paper
and it ia whispered around that the
departure OF Yardley will not cause
the face of Emmeluth to disappear
from the pages of the Advertiser.
r. Irwin, the new cartoonist, was on
the wharf, and he did not loose his
time.

Damon and Pythias.

Frederick Wards and his CON-
pany scored grand triumph at the
Opera House last evening ia their
production Of damon and
Pythias." Comic Operas and Vau-
dervlle shows may be popular
among certain classes of people,
but there is nothing that can be put
on the stage 10 compare with a
drama where the cardinal virtues OF
honor and fidelity are exemplifed.
Such play is Damon and Pythias,
Sentiment prevails all through it
and audiences are always moved by
sentiment. F ederick Wsrde could
not be improved upon as Damon, and
Pythias was perfectly represented
by Mr.. Herman. The Misses Tres
colt and Ashton again gained 70
pular favor and furnished a full
share of the dramatic force OF the
presentation. Another treat is 10
store for tonight when Macbeth"
will be p esented.

moved to the morgue, The deceas-
