THE VISION OF A DREAM;
when The Theatrical Manager AwoIe He
Found an Audience.

!
Found an Audience.
This story concerns the manager Of
! a summer stock company which made
its money by playing at watering
places. In good weather it made plen-
t. of money; in bad, it made none Mt
all. Three weeks of bad weather al
most drowned the company out. There
was big town little ahead of them,
and things began to look as though, if
the big town did come TO the rescue
with Il biz audience. the members OF
the company would have to drift back
to New York on their own recogniZ-
ances.
The morning before their opening
matinee in the big town the weather
cleared. 1t was bright and dry and
cool. And this was the more important
because the town itself was not so very
big, but was the metropolis and gath
ering place Of host of little towns
connected with it by open trolley cars.
SO il seemed TO the manager Of the
company as though all things were
working together for good. He took
his stand near the door to watch the
ticket box and had a light heart. And
at first, when people did not come he
thought perhaps his watch was fast.
and then lie thought perhaps people
came late TO matinees in that town,
and it was very slowly that the dreary
truth broke in on him-the curtain had
gone up on the first act, and the au-
dience was so small it was hardly
worth playing to! The manager was
so sick at heart that he was physically
tired. He went into the almost empty
auditorium and fell asleep.
After q while lie had an eXtraordi-
rariIy vivid dream. He dreamed that
he was Weakened in the box by great
burst Of laughter, and that. parting the
curtains and looking ont lie saw the
whole theatre packed with merrymak-
ers. The house was filed to overflow
ing with an appIauding, laughing au-
dience-the entire parquet, the balco-
MES. most Of the boxes, were blocked
with people as he had sometimes seen
them in a rosy. after-dinner vision, and
seemed to have a claim upon his actual
consciousness, so that even in his sleep
he knew it was a dream. He looked
Mt the ushers, at the people on the
stage. at the vast, excessive audience,
and he smiled in bitter triumph to
think that he was not deceived by
them. You would be all very fine"
he said to them; you would be about
the best thing going, if only you were
realr'
Just then the treasurer came into the
box and slapped him roughly, awaken
ingly. upon the shoulder. Isn't this
Il corking audienceY" said the treasu-
rer. Something happened just out
side the town, delayed the trolley cars,
and they all came in together"
It was real, after all. - Golfers

The Renaissance of Tennis.

The wonderful revival of interest IN
lawn tennis is one of the most sig
nificant features OF American outdoor
life to-day. The seven thousand peo-
pie who watched the championship
games at Bay Ridge last year made a
bigger crowd than any country ever
knew even in the days when tennis
was a fad. Tennis is coming into its
own. There is every reason why ten
mis- should be popular. 1t costs less
than many games: it takes less time;
it requires few players; there is 10
danger in it; it exercises the whole
body thoroughly, not partially Or spas

NOAR PRESENTS
COAT OF ARMS

The House, and as residuary legatee
Speaker Beckley, received yesterday an
elaborately framed, embroidered design
showing the American eagle above the
shield and surrounded by the flags of
the United States. The gift was that
of Isaac Noar, and was conveyed with
the following letter:
Honolulu, May 26, 1903
Honorable F. Beckley, Speaker of the
House. Honolulu.
Sir: I have the honor to present to
this House, the Coat of Arms of the
American Union, signifying the richest
and mightiest nation of this Globe:
stretching her wings to preserve lib
erty all over this Hemisphere. and
commanding respect from all powers of
this planet.
Eighty millions of free men received
you with open arms to share the bless
ing of Liberty, Freedom and Happi-
ness. In glancing at this magnificent
emblem, you will have the supreme
satisfaction that you are today an
American Citizen and respected all
over the world.
Your Obedient Servant.
ISAAC NOAR.
The letter once read Mr.. Chilling
worth moved to accept the gift and
that at the close of the session it be
presented to the Speaker of the House.
Mr., Beckley thought this not in order
but the House would have it so.
Wright, of Kona, moved that the gift
be accepted and filed with the bills not
signed by the Governor
Speaker Beckley said he hoped the
members would remember the motto of
/ the nation. "In union there is
strength" for If the members would,
there will be speedy conclusion of the
business of the House. If the members

SALARIES ARE ALL
ADVANCED BY THE
ACTION OF HOUSE
The District Magistrates and Clerks
Will Find Their Pay
Increased.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

| The Third Circuit was not to be over
looked and so the clerk of the court
was raised to $500 and the magistrate
N. Kohala went to $780, S. Kohala to
$500, both increases; and when Wright
moved to increase the North Kona
magistrate to $500 from $42O, Kaniho
began to object saying that all the
money would be used for salaries.
Wright argued for the increase, as the
business there will be great because of
its being a new county seat. Finally
the item passed at $500 but the fight on
1t had reflex on the South Kona item
and that magistrate will receive only
S42O. The magistrate for East and
West kau was given $50 more or $500
for the six months.
The Hilo clerk had no hold upon the
House and the salary was left as in
the bill, $3.50. Lewis said the clerk was
acting as Interpreter and his salary was
swelled from $500 to $500. The district
magistrate was given 81 900 instead of
5000, but the House would not listen to
Lewis suggestion for a second magis-
trate at $500. The clerk and Interpreter
was given 5000, the Hamakua magis-
trate $500 and the Puma judge $500.
Kauai refused, by Gandall, to ask
larger salaries and these all passed as
in the bill. The committee then rose
