Owen Wister, the author of THE Vir-
ginian." has written a preface to the
theatrical edition of his book in which
he discusses the desirability of the So
called book play. He says that on
every side you will hear the book play
condemned simply because it is a book
play. AS if it were new to dramatize
stories Mr.. Wister gives a number of
examples of plays which many do not
know to be book plays. Among these
are THE Merchant of Venice" Ham
let" ''M'liss," THE Little Marchioness,"
1.-THE Vicar of Wakefield, THE Cricket

have been successful. In addition to
this list 1 would suggest Mr.. Wister's

A charming feature of the farewell
recital of Otto Spamer last week., at
Lyric Hall, was the Waltz cycle of
song of Oscar Wells, given by the
Brahms quartet The set, that Mr.
We'll calls I'm Maytime," grows with
acquaintance. and was finely given by
the quartet The songs have quite the
Schubert quality of spontaneity and a
gayety that well beseems their title
Being Mr.. Wells, they are Well made,
but better. we'll born. The composer
was indebted to the Brahms quartet for
a finished and sympathetic rendering
of the cycle. In their hands-Iargely,
l think, through change in its timing
the cycle had lost the effect of jerk
ness, disconnectedness noticeable in its
first rendering at Berkeley some
months ago. Althogether, I'm May

mixed quartet literature. The Brahms
quartet consists, by the way, of Miss
Mile Flynn. soprano; Miss Gertrude
Wheeler, contralto; Frank Onslow,
tenor, and Homer Henley, bass. The
singers were less fortunate, particular
ly in intonation. in their Brahms gypsy

KAWAIHAE PASSENGERS REFUSED,

Governor Carter is expected back
tomorrow on the Kinau, if it is possi-
BILE for him to get on board at Hawai-
haze but there is some doubt as to
whether he will be able to do so. The
experience of Auditor Fisher last week
at the same port shows that the COVER
nor will probably have to take chances
if he insists upon making the trip,
and he will find the way from shore
to the steamer a rough one.
Last week the steamship company re-
fused on it's own responsibility to take
passengers when Col. Fisher took pas
sage. 1t was necessary to make
strong effort to get the mail at Hawai-
hae and so a boat was sent. and when
it appeared, Fisher insisted in going on
board with the mail. He was told that
the company was not taking passengers

to- CELEBRATE
PORT ARTHUR'S FALL

A meeting of japanese. who are work.
ing on the subscriptions to the Red
Cross fund was held last night. Among
other things decided was that the To-
cal Japanese will have a big celebra-
tion if they receive news of the capture
of Port Arthur The Japs are inclined to
say when" they receive news of the
capture of Port Arthur, as they are
very confident that the Russian strong
hold will finally fall
"Ihe capture of Port Arthur win be
a great step towards victory" said one
of them, ''and it will be something
worth celebrating. The task of taking
the city is, however, a very hard one"
The committee also decided not to re-
ceive any contributions for the war
fund of less than one dollar Some Of
the poorer Japs have been sending in
subscriptions OF less than dollar, from
plantations, and it was decided that
the expense and trouble of handling
such contribution was too great. The
sum subscribed for the Red Cross fund
is now nearing7 600

WRIT OF Ne EXEAT
IS OUT OF DATE

Two more decisions were handed
down this afternoon by the Supreme
Court, both of them unanimous. In
one of them it is held that the writ of
ne exeat cannot now be used in Ha-
wall being contrary to the Organic
act This is a writ which was for
merly invoked to prevent debtors from
leaving the islands. 1t was asked for
and refused by the circuit court in the
case of the Oahu Lumber & Building
Company VS.. c. Ding Sing and the
Supreme court decides in the syllabus
as follows:
"The writ of ne exeat is not now
available, in an action of assumpsit, to
prevent a defendant from going away
from the Territory or to compel him
to give security for the payment Of the
judgment that may be recovered.
'sThe execution of the writ would
subject the defendant to imprisonment
for debt contrary to the provisions of
the Organic Act"
The other decision is in the case of
William Lono Austin VS.. r. w. Holt,
a viii contest. The errors are sus-
tanned and the decree of the circuit
Judge ordered vacated.

USED ALL THE QUARTERS,

There is a shortage of quarters in
town. The banks have passed out all
the two-bit pieces they have and many
local business houses have been with
out quarters for some days and have
had to use dimes and nickels in maxi
ing change. The Chinese New Year
celebration with it's general giving
away of two-bit pieces to children is
the cause of the difficulty.
Some of the local banks were entire
ly out of quarters at the end of the
New Year celebration. eve supplied
Bishops bank with $500 worth Of
them" said Clarence Cooke, cashier Of
the Bank Of Hawaii thinking we had
more than enough, but we finally ran
short ourselves. There has been a
great run on them. 1t is due to the
New Year giving away Of quarters by
the Chinese and is a merely temporary
condition. The quarters will come
back to the banks and normal condi-
tions will soon be restored
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1904-02-19

Probably the withdrawal of the
Hawaiian quarter dollars during the
year had something to do with caus-
ing the shortage. In past years when-
ever bank needed quarters it could
go to the treasury and draw as many
as We're wanted, for there was a sup
ply of new ones which had never been
IN circulation. Now we have to rely
on those which are in ordinary circula-
tion and sudden demand for them ma
turally creates an unusual shortage" r.,
Apparently thousands of quarters
were called for Y the Chinese in their
celebration 1t is a very general Chi
nese New Year custom to civ. away
quarters to children messenger boys
and others, and for some days nearly
all the quarters in Honolulu have been
in employment in this way. Business

quently have made repeated demands
upon the banks for quarters, only to
be told that there were none.

as it was too rough and dangerous,
and that If he insisted on getting in
the boat it would be at his own risk.
"A high south wind was blowing and
the surf was heavy and dangerous.
Fisher took off his coat loosened his
suspenders and made ready for swim
ming if it should prove necessary, and
got in the boat. He was landed safe
ly on the kinau and saved a weeks
time.
In view of the heavy storm which
passed southeast of Oahu this morn
ing it is thought that Carter would
find conditions quite as bad when the,
Kinau touches at Kawaihae this time.
In that event the governor and Secre-
tary Atkinson may have to make the
same sort of trip as Fisher did.

MAIL SENT BY
MESSENGER
INTERRUPTION OF TRAIN SER
VICE ON RAILROAD INTBRFERS
WITH NAIL FOR WAtALUA.


Mail for Waialua, Waialee, and Ma
leiwa was dispatched from the post
Office by messengers about nine o'clock
this morning. Since the storm began
nearly two weeks ago. and the rail-
road has been unable to get it's trains
through, the post office has been put to
it to get the mails through. For a
time the railroad did not get its trains
through beyond Eva, and the Waianae
region was entirely cut off. But now
the railroad is getting the mail through
to Waianae.
Superintendent of Railway Mail SER
vice Carr has been able to get the mail
through to Waialua and that region
about every day, but by an unusual
route. About every other day a mes
senger has been dispatched direct from
here to those points. On the alternate
days the mail has been snt by the
Heeia stage and from thence to Ka-
huKu by the regular tri-weekly star
route service, and from Kahuku on by
messengers sent from Waialua to Ka-
huku to get it.
On the other islands, the service is
meeting with difficulties, principally on
account of the terrible condition of
some of the roads. In one way and
another however the mail is being got
through with comparatively few in
terruptions.
