month. and also as naval officer. I am
rapidly coming to the front as an ex..
pert on Custom House matters.
THE Solace, being man-of-war,
technically cannot import Any duti-
technically seized. and instead of du-
ties being collected, fines are imposed.
Naval officers, therefore, enjoy the dis
tinction of having their effects seized
and fined This looks well in the pa
pers and lends color to the accusation
that naval officers are smugglers. We
have to rely on the. uncertain graces
and courtesies of temporary officials for
any escape from this charge. The news
papers can give any local coforing they
may choose to add to the heinous Of

Charley's Aunt To Be
Cleverly Given
Tonight.

The town at large will turn out to
ed by local amateurs under the direc-
ton of Allan Dunn. The Hawaii Yacht
Club has many friends who remember
the delightful dances given at their
Peninsula Club House and who have
often watched with pleasure the white
winged craft matching speed at the
numerous regattas.
Any play would be welcome after
the long theatrical drought and now,

bic mirth, trebly So The players are
among the best of the many clever
dramatic interpreters boosted of by
Honolulu and every one is looking for
ward to an evening of genuine amuse-
ment.
Allan Dunn. who plays the title role,
has furnished Honolulu with much
good matter in the amusement line and
his absence will be noted with regret
by his many friends and those who
have enjoyed the many forms of en-
.tertainment which he has successfully
piloted. He leaves for the mainland
shortly after Charleys Aunt having
stayed over for the performance and
will be one of the principal laugh
makers of the evening.
While some of the principals, Miss

ster have made their talents known to
Honolulu there are one or two who
have not been seen here in a capacity
to develop the full extent of their
latent talents. Paymaster Brown and

who will more than delight their
friends this evening with their clean
comedy work while Miss Gladys Fisher
will hereafter be enrolled among the
"capables'' for dramatic work.
Society will be there tonight with
the many patronesses of the affair.
Lodge parties have been arranged and
the players will have many friends in
front though those who have seen re-

OAKLAND, Aug 1O.-Miss Marion
E. Dillingham;, belle of Honolulu and
daughter of B. F. Dillingham;, the well
known Hawaiian sugar magnate. was
married at $50 O'Clock this evening to
the Rev John Erdman of Japan, in
the presence of about fifty relatives
and intimate friends.
The ceremony was performed in the
drawing room of the Chickering resi-
dence, $40 Sixteenth street, by the Rev.
Albert Erdman, father of the groom,
who had come all the way from Nor
ristown. n. J.. where he is pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church, to Of
fciate at his sons wedding.
The marriage was the elimination of
a romance that originated in Honolulu
two years ago, when Mr.. Erdman, just
ordained as Presbyterian clergyman,
was en- route to Japan to engage in
work. He spent much time
with Miss Dillingham; and when he
proceeded to his new post he took with
him a promise that after two years he

might return for the beautiful young
woman to whom his troth was plighted.
As it was impossible for the groom $
father to make the trip to Honolulu
and as his son had always promised
that the old clergyman should perform
the ceremony at his wedding, the Dill
linghams took a house here.
The bride was gowned in an exqui-
site white mousseline deliberately
trimmed with old lace. Her veil was
of tulle, caught by a cluster of orange
blossoms. and she carried a dropping
bouquet of white roses. In place OF
the conventional maid, the bride was
attended by her brother, Harold Dill

bridesmaids, Miss Irma Woodward,
Miss Bess Woodward, Miss Eleanor
Sturgeon and Miss Ruth Whitney, were
also in attendance. They We're gown

EDMUND P, DOLE WOOS
FORTUNE As INVENTOR

Edmund P. Dole. former Attorney
General of Hawaii. is NOT at present
banking on law in Washington. He is
playing a stake for millions upon a
genii that he believes he has captured
and confined in a bottle.
In other words, Mr.. Dole is confident
he has solved the great economic prob
lem of a non-refillable bottle. He has
invented three devices in this line. One
is non-reillabIe bottle chiefly intend
ed for spirituous liquors. The second
is non-reflla bic bottle. chiefly intend
ed for table sauces. Both of these
bottles can be rehlled or partially re-
filed. by machinery the inventor
claims in IA letter shown to an Adver-
tiser reporter, the same as burglar
proof safe can be broken open, but the
most rigid test demonstrates that it is
commercially impossible for bar
keeper to refill the other. that is, that
the cost of refiIling. TO say nothing of
the risk of detection and punishment,
makes it a matter of loss instead of
profit For the third invention. Mr..
Dole produces "a bottle stopper adapted
to all kinds of liquid goods sold for do
nestle use. This does not interfere
with refilling the bottle, but after the
bottle has once been opened the evil
dence that it has been opened cannot
be removed without destroying the bot
tie no matter how carefully it is sealed
up again"
Mr.. Dole. in the letter already refer
red to. relates the story of protracted
struggles against difficulties that had
prevented the success of thousands of
devices made by others. Perhaps the
greatest obstacle was the absolute re-
fusal of glass blowers to accept a bottle
of any intricate design. They being
paid by the piece, their union would
have nothing to do with a bottle that
took more than a small fraction of adj
ditional time to shape. Mr.. Dole's bot
tie proper is like any old bottle ex-
cepting for a recess around the inside
of the neck near the top. This is to
engage a disk fitted with springs which
once inserted cannot be removed, the
purpose of which is a buffer for the
head of a plunger connected with cup
and valve within a cork jacket inserted
in the neck near the base. The plunger,
the invention, that which most partakes
of the gray matter Mr.. Dole has in
vested in the non-refillable bottle. They
are simple enough after you have seen
description.
AS rough estimate Mr.. Dole gives
the cost of No. 1 device as 31z cents,
No. 2 as 21a cents and No. as Il cent,
but thinks these figures could probably
be greatly reduced The inventor
claims to have convinced patent law
yers, manufacturers and public men
that these Inventions are just what has
long been sought. He quotes former
Senator John NJ. Thurston as saying
he could not see flaw in the nom

pose to organize company under the
