that admirable and Sacrlfcal love
in her that she strives to keep the
secret from the girl, who has given
her heart to a wealthy young
planter. But Thornton is william
in every respect. He wants bis
elder daughter, whose mother was
known to be white, to share in all
the riches and giories, and when
the time comes for him to give his
consent to Annabefs marriage to
the manly young planter he makes
the awful denunciation and tells
the prospective husband that the
girl is the daughter of a white
negress. the Parepa, whom he was
forced to marry. That prompts a
desire for vengeance. and the
mother kills Thornton at the old
cross roads The scene is evenly
colored and thrills all The guilt
of Parepa is plain and a Coroner's
jury begins an investigation. But
the woman uses a whip on the
Coroner and asks him what would
he do if a man struck him with
just such whip His temper is
fired and he cries out that he
would kill that man. Tha. is what
Parepa did and she shows the
welt on her cheek, which was the
result of the blow of her husbands
whip. Before the jury decides on
the case through Doe Kerr, a
steamboat gambler. it is proven
that Parepa is really a white
woman. The woman is freed, for
the jury finds that the homicide
was justifiable. Happiness comes
to all, of course, and the curtain
drops on the certainty of the union
between Annabel and the young
planter and another union between
Parepa and the gambler. Miss
Estha Williams enjoys the priv
lege OF playing the pivotal charac-
ter Of Parepa. She is highly
emotional and in every way won
the sympathy of the rlaygoers.
She is capable of greater things
and the success of the play was
brought about by her. Mr.. James
Brophy has that romantic ele.
ment in his makeup, and though
his lines are meant differently, he
gives flashes of this pretty quality.
He is clever actor in every
sense and ably seconds Miss
Williams. Mr. Randall aid al he
was asked to do as the villain
Miss Gertrude O'Malley made a
good impression as Annabel. Miss
Adeline Mann was charming as
the elder daughter. Mr.. Harry
Dunkinson won laughs by his de-
lighsful work as the bogus Count.
Mr. Charles Coburn came in for
his share of credit Mrs. Charles
Craig was rich as the old black
nanny, while Miss Louise Val.
entlne was exceedingly clever,
singing and dancing in good time.

money thus lost. although he had moth
ing to do with the selection of the de-
pOSitOries. The amount lost origin
ally considerably, exceeded 100000
but a large part was secured through
receiverships and the courts. and the

for the balance. The present hill re-
fmburses Col. BObleter for certain ex-
penseS connected with. the collection

Big Bill for Sanitary Purposes.
The fire claims commission. after
months of constant work. has adjusted
the claims of people whose entire prop
erty was destroyed by order of the
Honolulu board of health when the
bubonic plague threatened the city.
The total amount is in the neighbor-
hood of 81 100000. This large amount
of property was burned 10y order OF
the board of health and in nv ODidl-
ion the action was entirely unneceS-

question of the plague. Many say
that it never appeared in the islands
and others believe it was an Outra ge

In the opinion of McFariane, who is

islands have only four things to de-
pend upon-sugar, rice, cattle and

tion of United States control and gov
erHmeHt. he declared that nothing the
minority could say would convince
mm that the United States govern
ment was not making rapid progress
in the Philippines toward peace and
contentment. Platt paid Il high trib-
ute TO Governor Taft and his aSSoci-
ateS on the rmllpplne COMMISSION, and
inquired:
is what these men say about the
Philippine islands to be whistled down
the wind by our friends on the other
side. REINFORCED by the senator from

He pointed out as one of the benefi-
cent results of American occupation Of
the Philippines that schools had been
established in the islands. and that
nearly thousand United States teach
ers had gone TO the archipelago to ed
ucate the Filipino children.
IF we are government worthy of
the name," said Platt, with great We
hemence. whenever men take up
arms against the United States in any
district or territory where the sover-
eighty of the United States obtains,
we will put that insurrectiOn down.

Hoar, in the course of his reply, re-
ferring to the elections held in the
Philippines. upon which Platt had
dwelt, said: Il call his attention to
the fact that these elections We're held
under law which sent every man
who is in favor of one side of the
question which he says was settled by
them TO the penitentiary for saying so.
Il nave learned to trust men-ever

do: and when Governor Taft says
