At the Rilou.

Beginning tomorrow night and continuing every night the coming week, with the usual matinees Tuesday. Thursday and Saturday, the Bijou management offers its patrons a meodrama that has not failed to score heavily every where presented establishing new records for large atten- dance in some of the large cities.
 'The Lighthouse by the Sea" played an extended engagement in New York recent ly, and during its stay an artist of repu- tation saw at least half dozen perform ances. Knowing that he was not fre- quent visitor of popular price melodra- matic performances the management took pains to ascertain the magnet which drew him there time and again. In reply to their query he frankly stated that he had attended the first performance In order to satisfy his curiosity which had been aroused by the paper depicting the daring walk of Minty on the clothes line from the cliff to the great lighthouse; but that the electrical effects showing a moonrise with ripping water and moving clouds, eliminating in the electrical storm with waves dashing high, proved a magnet, and that while he had seen the play a half dozen times. he expected to see it as many times again.
 The piece is said to contain story of strong human interest, with climaxes that are sensational
 The scenic equipment is very elaborate

dancing slippers remained unused and dusty until Josephine Cohan, of the Four Cohans at the Jefferson theatre in Run ming for Office,' came along few years ago and poked her pretty feet into them. They fitted her exactly. She resurrected them. From the first she danced with as much skill as the great English come dienne ever displayed. and more than this she gave to her art an individuality and a charm that were all her own.
 Miss Conan was born Christmas day, twenty-five years ago, and like Beatrice, the stars danced" presaging and sym bolizing her career. Then when the good fairies came to her cradle--they still do this, though only the elect who believe in fairy stories ever find this out-they brought her gifts of ease, personal magne- tism. loving and sympathetic disposi- ton. Just as soon as she could walk she began to dance It was as natural to her as breathing. She has had training, of course-the best to be had-and plenty of experience. but the delight of her dancing lies in it's individuality. She expresses herself in it as truly as poet does in words, or a painter in color. It even shadows forth her passing emotions and one who knows sher well can tell if she Is sad or happy by the little personal touches she puts in her work. All of her best slepS are or her own invention, or rather they are the result of her own inspira- tion. Miss Cohan does her dance in the ordinary garb of polite society and she Is a picture of grace in 1t. She is agile but always refined, and though her toes occa- sionally point slSyward. only the flash of stocking or the foam of lace Is momen- tarily in sight. Miss Conan has youth, beauty, two great talent, ambition and persistence She has already gone far She will be still further up the hill the next time you see her.

"HIs ExceIIency, the Governor

Miss Sadie Martinot will present at the Jefferson theatre next Wednesday mati- nee and night the New York Lyceum and Empire theatres success, His Excelency the Governor" which one the occasion of the first production In this country was thus commented upon by the Mail and Express:''
 "A frothy, fippant, but withal most at tractive and interesting piece is His Ex- cellency the Governor" whose first night was at the Lyceum yesterday This Is just the season for a play of its kind. Let social problems and melodramatic comp.i- cations be thrown to the winds. and now for dash of sheer whimsicalityi It is a bit difficult to classify the new play imported from London-but unless 1t be admitted first of all that farcical spirit animates 1t we might as wei put 1t prompt ly to one side.
 Robert Marshall. its author has treated his subject with keen satire and in serio- comic manner that suggests no one else half so much as 1t does George Bernard sha w:-esrecially as that Shaws dialogue peeks with mordant irony. and there is a sour pessimsm to 1t that is entirely for eign to MT. Marshalrs brilliant work.
 isThe regular army of first nighters had not disbanded but was out in full force last night and many of it's most staid and stoIid members laughed immoderately at the witty sallies of the characters MT Marshall has contrived The dialogue fre- auentIy verges on the audacious but 1t never reaches a point that may be held offensive to polite but cosmopolitan gathering.
 'Aithoueh there are thirteen characters involved, whether Ill luck fastens upon any one of them vanishes with the drop ping of the final curtain. His Excellency the Governor established itself as a permanent success and is destined for 9 long and successful run"

He will this time give a revival of the brightest comedy ever written by an Amer ican; in other words. the presentation will be a revival of Henry Guy Carletons so- ciety drama, "A Gilded Fool in which MT. Goodwin will show the versatility of his art in so strong a contrast, that his many friends who have originally seen him when he first presented the comedy will hardly think 1t Is the same player.
 Representations given elsewhere show that MT. Goodwins rich experience at- tained in the years following the first pro- duction of "A Gilded Fool will be brought to bear upon his conception of the princi- pal character therein, and performance is promised that, like rare, old wine, will be mellowed with age, ripened with experience and embellished with the best gifts that this really great actor can throw into any delineation.
 The older class of theatre goers will hardly care to have the story of "A Gild- ed Fool" rehearsed, but to the present generation of playgoers it is but meet to say that its theme is based upon the strenuous money getting activities of the American race, that it's motive hinges up- on the disposal of "undigested securities" so as to save an honored name and firm from disaster. and for this purpose a scounderlly partner tries to inveigle "A Gilded Fool'-a young man suddenly be- comes rich-into an entanglement, by which this fashions butterfly would be- come a member of the firm even after their failure had been announced
 The youth. seeing that he was in trap, determined to spin web for the human spider, even finer and more firm than the meshes of that in which he was caught, and that he ultimately succeeded therein, those who will follow the plot of the play carefully, will pleasingly realize. Through out these cold facts there is yet another story, story of love. and of hear-acne and of heart-break, but why go into de- tail-as all the world loves lover, and as no player on the stage can portray one more charmingly beautiful than MT. Good win, 1t is but fit to say that he must be seen in this. his cleverts work, ere you can realize the intensity and the depth of his art.

 most prominent of the character actresses on the American stage, will be the at- traction at the Jefferson theatre tomorrow and Tuesday and Tuesday matinee. Now in it's fifth season of continuous success 'Sis Hopkins is being played to crowded houses. The scenes of Isis Hopkins" are laid in Posey county in Central Indiana, among a people who are simple in every thing and unique in their methods of life. The simplicity of their existence Is a reve- lation to the ordinary everyday world one usually finds it. They are a quiet, peaceful people and Isis Hopkins stands out brilliantly among them a strong figure in stage art She Is an odd creature, queer in dress and mannerisms and quaintly funny in speech; yet through 1t all there is a firmness of purpose and a sterling honesty which makes the char acter intensely interesting and womanly. There is a pretty love story running through the play and the flashes of pathos are delicate and evenly distributed. The comedy, of which there is just enough to counterbalance the other effects is clean and bright and utterly lacking in the horse play element. When she first makes her appearance, clad in gingham apron and stockings, with her hair pulled back so hard and smoothly that 1t makes her eyes look slantways, and with two funny little pigtails sticking out on either side of her head Sis wins the hearts and the sympathy of her audience and her course through the intricacies of the play is close ly watched One of the most intensely pathetic scene which is on the stage to- day is in the last act where Sis returns home after a long absence learning to be like other people" and finds her old father has lost his memory and does not recognize her. As a last effort to bring back to him his mind she dresses in her old oroginal costume as the Sis of her childhood days which she wore in the first act, and sings to her father the songs he so loved to have her sing in the days gone by. There is a glimmer of returning in- telligence a sudden awakening of all his faculties and the father and daughter are c1asped in one another's arms.

STEAMER NEVADAN
MAY CARRY MAIL

The steamer Nevadan of the Amer
ican-Hawaiian Steamship Company ar
rived from San Francisco early yes
terday morning after a passage of Z
IL days. The freighter sailed from the
coast port on May %, and therefore
brought two days mail, consisting of
100 bags.
The usual cargo of general merchan-
disc, live stock and cold storage was
brought to Honolulu, and she also has
1900 tons of freight for Kahului.

ARTILLERY TROOPS ON
NEXT HOME VESSEL

The army transport passing through
Honolulu next month from Manila, en-
route to San Francisco. will carry sew
eral artillery companies. All the coast
artillery companies in the Philippines
have been ordered back to the United
States on the transport sailing June Is.
There are but four companies in the
islands and they are in Manila; they
are the 10th, 3sth, S5th and 10sth.
The reason for sending them is pre-
sumed to be because there are no sea
coast guns in the islands. and men are
needed to man the sea coast batteries
in the United States.
The companies are assigned to sta
tons as follows: 10th and 3sth com
panies to the Preside, S5th to Fort Ca
sey, Washington, and 1OSth to Fort
Worden, Washington.

WANTS DAMAGES FOR
 BROKEN CARRIAGE

There was no meeting of the board of public works last night But two commissioners, Messrs Jackson and Brown. were present. and at the sug- gestion of the mayor, it was agreed to adjourn until o'clock this afternoon. William Mosley, whose horse got frightened at the road roller last July and fell down breaking the shafts of the carriage, was heard, and stated very emphatically that Joseph Somers nor anybody else warned him that the machine was coming his way. If so he would have needed it because he was aware that his horse was afraid of road rollers and automobiles and was not taking any chances with hlm. He admitted seeing MT Somers the second time his horse fell, but denied very pointedly that Somers had warm ed him on time to avoid trouble. He said he noticed in the papers that MT Hotchkiss stated that he insisted in driving past the roller after he had been cautioned to take another route, and wanted to deny the allegation
 Mr Hotchkiss replied that he was nov there himself and that his statemenr was based on representations madv to him by MT Somers, whose word he had no reason to question He had no objection to payment of the bill Of $5 for repairs on the carriage The mayor informed Mir Mosley that the board would consider the matter later on.
