Features of the Occasion
ENJOY LITERARY TREAT

Joseph D. Redding was the guest Of
honor at an elaborate banquet at the
Pacific Union Club last night. 1t was
rendered to him by his old friends as
a welcome to his native State. Good
cheer and goodfellowship were the
watchwords of the night. The big
round dinner table was laden with the
choicest and richest viands of our
Golden State. Rare flowers of innumer-
able brilliant hues and kinds gayly
decked the festal board, while over the
whole a food of soft light fell from
clusters of tall golden candelabra. The
soft music of a stringed orchestra
added much to the enjoyment of the
occasion.
Thomas McCaleb was toastnaster.
He introduced the different speakers in
happy manner
D. M. Delmas made the speech of
welcome. He chose for his topic True
Bohemianism,' and pointed to Mr.
Redding as a real and genuine disciple
of that set. He spoke of the many
brilliant qualifications Of mind and
character with which the guest of the
evening was endowed.
Mr.. Redding's speech In reply was
in the happiest possible vein and was
received with great applause.
John Mcknight made some remarks
pertinent to the occasion, in which he
referred to the capabilities of Mr. Red
ding in his many diversified walks in
life.
Besides Mr. Redding there were pres

''The Maids Idyl' find unfortunate
ly reminiscent of that famous air of
Rudolph's in La Bcheme." This also
is charming, but without the grip of the
other movements.
In the "Supplication," a solo for
barytone and chorus, the lack of re-
hearsal was felt. Neither is it by any
means either so interesting or original
as the Prelude" and Dance" Judge
H. A. Melvin contributed a ner-
vous but melodious barytone in the
solo, and a chorus of forty, consisting
mostly of Bohemians, furnished COM

ordinarily banal theme, whose banality
is the more unpleasant from it's fire.

is of quite exceptional value and was
conducted with a firm and magnetic
baton by it's composer.
DR.. Stewards "Montezuma" came
first on the programme, and pleased. as
on it's hearing last year, with its un-
pretentious charm. The march should
find a welcome on any orchestral pro-
gramme, and the finale in particular
has the picturesque and dramatic
value. Dr. Stewart conducted and was
heartily welcomed
Evidently it would not much have
mattered what Mr.. Redding did. The
cries for Joe" as the popular clubman
walked on the stage to lead his Man
in the Forest" testified warmly to his
unimpingable popularity THE Man in
the Forest" is not Overwhelmingly i'm

charming little descriptive passages.
quaint bits of tone color, some few
dainty themes in the work, but as a
whole the composition lacks in coher-
ence, in cumulative grasp, in definite
character. 1t should be said that it
was the first Of the music dramas to be
written for the grove, and is evidently
altogether less ambitious in intention
than its successors. \ Next time. Mr.
Redding. Mr.. Hotaling's reading of the
legend here was one of the pleasant

speech preceding it, in which he hoped
we might come again, was another.

HAWAIIAN RAILWAY BONDS
ARE APPARENTLY UNSALABLE
Suit Started to Recover Two Prom
ised Payments in Big Deal
Involving Millions.


An effort to float the new construc-
ton of a Hawaiian railroad is going
up in the smoke of litigation. suit
was begun yesterday in the Superior
Court by G.. Bolte. as assignee of Jacob
L.-Coerper, against II. Wilson, Wilson,
Lyon & Co. and the WilsOn-Lyon Con-
struction Company for the recovery
of s25OO alleged to have been due
April 9, 1903, and $23.750 alleged to
have been due October 9, 1903.
The unpaid sums are included in
the clauses of a contract made on
February of last year whereby
Coerper transferred to Wilson $2.72O,-
coo worth of the corporate stock Of
the Kona and Kaui Railway Company,
Limited of the Island of Hawaii, and
all of his interest in the Kona Sugar
Company. The transfer Of these in
terests was for the purpose of finan-
cially rehabilitating the companies
named. 1t is said that new line
was about to be laid for the railroad,
but the company was embarrassed.
II is set forth in the complaint that
Wilson agreed to put the company in
proper shape and as soon as he was
able to float the prospective bonds he
would pay Coerper $4,000 and the
additional sums mentioned in the suit
If he did not succeed in four years
in negotiating the bonds the prom
ised payments We're still to be made
Wilson defaulted in the first payments,
hence the suit.

japanese Pupils May Be Excluded.

The congested attendance in near

anese pupils in order to permit of the
accommodation of white pupils. Su-
perintendent Langdon yesterday sub
mitted the question to City Attorney
