A Friend of the Family.

I'm all my experience as a manager,
says w. E. German of "a Friend Of the
Family Company" the farce which l am
exploiting this season has the unique dis
tinction of being the only one that has
without exception played to bigger re,
ceipts the second night when booked in
towns for two nights and to larger returns
the last night than the opening in longer
engagements.
Il have managed Lewis Morrison in
Faust Herman the Great, and Frank
Daniels in comic opera, and even with the
last mentioned celebrity our second night ;
business invariably fell below the open
ing. I don't know of any stronger proof
than this that in this funny farce 1 have

attributed to General Macarthur, which
IL appears was transmitted to Governor
Carter by Colonel Jones, of the Hawaiian
militia, high militia officer said to-
day:
Il cannot believe that General Mac
Arthur made the prediction attributed &c
him. 1t is quite possible that in conferr-
ing with the Notifications board which
recently met in Honolulu he may have
incidentally referred to the possibility OF
war with some foreign power as an argu-
ment in favor of properly defending the
Hawaiian Islands. which, as everybody
knows, are very important, strateglcal'y.
BY way of illustration, he mag have men
tened Germany as a growing sea and
commercial power, but he is too exper-
fenced an officer and diplomat to make
the rash statement with which he is
credited"
Other army officers expressed similar
views and all are confident that General
Macarthur would make a prompt and
entirely satisfactory explanation
