NOT A MAN OF BLOOD.
Preston S. Brooks Defended by His Brother
Writes at Length Regarding
the Burlingame Affair.

j. H. Brooks, member of the
South Carolina Legislature, has writ
ten for The Star letter regarding
an interview appearing in The Star
day or two ago with ian old rae
contour" as to the Preston S. Brooks
Burlingame incident. Mr.. Brooks,
whose home is at Cambridge, S. c.,
writes:
"It is quite true that Brooks was
not at Niagara Falls, chosen as the
meeting place. and it is equally true
that Burlingame was not fool enough
to expect to meet him there. 1t ia
also true that my brother did think
the distance too far and that he
proposed to settle the matter at
Bladensburg or some other point
near the city (Washington), which
proposition WAS declined. With
party feeling 80 high and bitter
everybody knew that it would be
folly and madness for my brother to
venture through the northern states
upon such a mission. Assassination
was probable in any event, but GER
tain should Burlingame be killed.
81 can't say how true it may have
been; but our southern friends very
generally believed that it was purely
bluff on Burlingame's part, and that,
knowing its safety, he proposed an
impossible place for the sake Of home
carital. BE this as it may, my

Gen. Robert Toombs and other such
southern men then in Washington.

"Burlingame may have been "a
splendid fellow but we at the south
did not think him fighting fellow,
for he wanted to 90 too far to do
it.
"Now, what is the use, sense or
good of anybody in this land, north
or south, trying by open charge or
insinuation to reflect on the courage
of Preston S. Brooks-courage tried
and proved on both field of honor
and field Of battle in MexicoY Why,

Governor Carter expressed himself
later to the effect that advertising of

hOYT'S CLEVER
COMEDY TONIGHT

The citizens of Hawaii, with the
Territory's gradual incubation into
the intricacies of American politics,
should take especial interest in the
performance of Hoyt's "a Contented
Woman" this evening at the opera
house. The play, always acknowledge
most dignified into a classic with its
clean humor and healthy satire, deals
with the woman suffrage question and
is indeed a sermonette upon that al
ways vital topic. At the time of its
writing, Colorado had just obtained
the right of vote and office for it's
fairer citizens, the American world was
agog to see how the first campaign
would turn out and Hoyt selected Col
orado's capital city, Denver, as the
scene of his comedy and its most nat
ural setting.
The pitch of the plot hinges on the
determination of a Mrs. Blount, wife
of the candidate for Mayor, to run
for the same Office on the suffrage tick
et The whimsicalities and home
trials of the Biounts are heightened
by the persecution of 'Old Todie," a
henpecked husband whose better half
finds the new suffrage an additional
weapon of supremacy. Cuttinghintz,
a friend with suggestions which are
always prompt if not practical, helps
to round out the comedy.
Mrs. Blount wins her Office but how
marital affection keeps undisturbed
and how Todie in fit of Dutch cour-
age, inspired by cocktails, rises upon
and subdues his wife, furnishes the
fun for a full evenings entertainment.
Edythe Chapman plays the office-seek-
ing wife and Neill the husband. Bur-
ton as Todie and Lillian Andrews as
his lady are admirably suited in their
parts. as is Bowles in Cuttinghintz.

Territory and also to distinguished
guests who may happen to be in the
city.

matter of providing sports for the men
of the fleet when it gets here. A COM
mittee was appointed for that purpose
to act with similar committees from
other bodies. The Chamber Of Com
merce will also assist in this matter.

GET STRONG.

To get much benefit or hap
piness out of life one must have
the average degree of strength.
Weak persons always miss the
cream and marrow of what the
world has to offer. And yet
what multitudes are weak! They
would freely give all they have
for strength and vigour get know
of no way to make the exchange;
such people are easily tired and
fall into low and melancholy
moods: they are apt also to lose
weight. Weakness is commonly
the result of a diseased condi-
on,-often without pain or any
acute symptoms. The appetite is
poor, the digestion feeble, the
blood pale and wanting in all
the elements of true vitality.
The trouble is with the nerves
and the food system. The
remedy is a, safe and powerful
tonic, cleanser and rebuilder like
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
which never fails to make the
weak strong. 1t is palatable as
honey and contains the nutri-
tive and curative properties of

bined with the Compound Syrup

tracts of Malt and Wild Cherry.
It is a medicine of to-day. The
products Of the most advanced
medical science enter into it's
composition. To it thousands
owe renewed strength and zest,
for work and enjoyment. Ons

THEATRICAL.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,

=
The clear cut, forceful acting of the
Neill company in the presentation of
Hall Gaines Christian last night
leads one to wonder why this play was
not selected for an opening perform
ance. The work of the players
throughout was not merely clever, but
thoughtful, and as an entity complete
ly successful.
Miss Chapman as Glory" known in
type to all book lovers, was the ideal
presentment of the warm-hearted, i'm
pulsive Manx maiden accepting life as
it came. taking the joy of it as young
woodland squirrel robs the nut of its
kernel-then the woman paramount,
her duty clear. seeing life through eyes
unclouded, seeing with the clear vision
of love. who, blind himself, yet makes
the blind to see.
And Nei1 as Storm, good name
that for the strenuous character, bent
on exhausting life's energy until his
force was centralized by the same
mystic power that transformed Glory
from wilful girl to womanly wo-
man-Neill was excellent, conserving
reserves Of power to the climax of the
| third act where, ever seeking to save
| Glory, even from herself, he in his ia
naticism, would kill her body to save
her soul, as he believes, wrecked.
The production was distinctly the best
that the Neills have yet presented.
I Others deserve more than passing
mention. Mr.. Lewis as Francis Drake
handled a difficult part with delicacy
| and strength. Mrs. Kellar brought
promise OF greater strength to future
performances. Mr.. Burton was as
ever excellent. while Miss Andrews was
so good as to be forgiven her Scotch
| (sic) accent. :, All the others were full
ly adequate.
4 The play made powerful impression
on the large audience, an effect owing
much to the careful preservation of
the two distinct atmospheres of the
story, those of the world and the
church. The ecclesiastical scenes
were treated with reverence and in the
second act where the man breaks
through the custom of the cleric with
the beautifully acted remuneration of
| Miss Chapman, dramatically and
strongly shown. Honolulu in general
| has not favored repetitions but 1.-THE
Christian" would draw many good
! houses more on the unasked advertfs-
ing Of last nights audience. The end
ing, changed in the dramatization to a
happier finale than that of the novel
proved fitting wind up to the play,
The orchestra was vastly improved.
!. Tonight Hoyts masterpiece of "a
Contented Woman" should bring al
| comedy lovers out.

College Men Practice in Surveying at Morris.
 Morris, Sept. 6.-The students who remain at Camp Columbia will be en- gagged in railroad surveying until about
 the middle of September.
 There are seven squads of ten men each engaged in this work, each squad having to survey for three miles of rail- road Each class is organized for work as an engineering party engaged in a regular railroad survey, except that each student is assigned to a different position in the party daily and must actually work in every capacity from axman to transit man and thus become familiar with every detail of a survey and learn how to organize, direct and manage an engineering party. He learns how to examine and estimate the pos abilities of the country and thereby to choose the best routes. The drainage areas are surveyed and the sizes of culverts and other waterways deter mined
 The office work includes the making of maps, plans and profiIes, calculation of earth work and other quantities in- cident to the construction of a railroad. Estimates have to be made and speci- fications drawn up for putting the work under contract.

HEN PATCHES QUAIL.
Garfield Avenue Man Has a Brood of
 Seven of Them.

Garfield Avenue Man Has a Brood of
 Seven of Them.
 Robert W. Menzies of S4 Garfield ave- nue has a genuine curiosity in the shape of flock of baby quail with a small bantam hen as a stepmother. A tragedy occurred in a hay field not far from Garfield avenue not long ago. Co., ing into the field where moving rna- chine had been operating Mr. Menzies found dead mother quail and not far from the body was a nest with seven eggs in 1t. The quail had been run over and cut to pieces by the moving ma- chine.
 The eggs were taken by the finder and carried to his house where they were placed under a bantam hen that had been making known it's desire to set for several days. The hen took to the eggs and kept them warm industriously until Tuesday when the shells broke and seven little quail about the size of humble bees made their appearance.
 The baby quail act much the same as chickens except when they are startled by sudden noise, and then they shoot for cover in genuine quail fashion. They crawl under the hen at night and run to it when it clucks. They eat bread and milk like chickens and take kindly to captivity. MT. Menzies intends to exhibit the strange brood at the coming Danbury fair.--Danbury News.
