PETER BAKER
HERE LONG AGO

Twenty-eight years ago Peter Baker
the Original Pete Baker now playing
at the orpneun. attempted to entertain
a Honolulu audience, and possibly King
Kalakaua. but owing to the failure OF
the Zealandia to arrive in port at the
right time he was disappointed In
1876 Mr.. Baker arrived here on the
Zealandia He was then with Mr.. Far
ron and they had been advertised to
play here one night, the steamer being
scheduled to come in the evening and
to leave for the Colonies the next
morning. The vessel arrived in the
forenoon and left in the afternoon.
Mr.. Baker remembers especially that
the down streets We're fringed with
trees at that time, and that most of
the structures were low, squat cottages,
hardly business house rising to high
er dignity than two stories The pres
ent Palace was not then in existence.
He remembers having seen Queen En-
ma, out driving the day he was here.
ct was a scene of tropical loneliness.
the cottages being hidden almost in
the foliage" said Mr.. Baker yesterday.
These Streets looking along King and
Fort streets, had no such structures
as 1 see now. Why, even the residences
were quite close to Fort street, and
many were on Fort street too And
now to think of these magnificent
structures upon those old modest sites.

NJ B. Curtis. "Saml. of Posen,'' just
then passed along the street. '.Now
there's old 'Saml. of Posen.' Twenty
five years ago he supported me in a
play of mine called Chris and Lena
There was a laughable incident in our
stake career at that time. We were
on the stage and just before we were
to go into the wings we heard that the
scene-shifters had gone out to get a
drink. I tipped the wink to Curtis. and
as We concluded our stunt, each of us
stepped to. the wings, grabbed the half
scene of parlor and brought the two
together. We then locked arms, bowed
to the audience, and said that we'd go
out and join the -shifters."
In his time Baker was supported by
Roland Reed, NJ. B. Curtis, Charlie
Reed. Joe Whiting. George Chapman
and Mrs. Harrison Grey Fiske.

WHAT RUSSIA EXPECTS.

The childlike faith the Russians show
in the strategy of the Napoleonic period
will probably have its reward in a
childish disappointment. Nothing could
be more obvious than the Russian plan
so far as it has gone and so far as it
has been revealed by headquarters fore
casts. 1t is to retreat from one place
to another and lure the japanese on
and on into difficult country far from
their base of supplies and then try to
overcome them by superior numbers.
Already the Russians have evacuated
VIII and crossed the Ya1u river. And
now their hope seems to be that the
Japanese viii follow and keep coming.
Back in the defiles of the mountains
they openly claim to have more than
100000 men and they probably have.
Let the yellow Napoleons come on"
said Russian paper not long ago. land
not one will return home alive
But suppose they don't come on?
Suppose they entrench every strong
point in Korea and occupy it with heavy
batteries? Suppose they make the Yalu
another Rhine for heavy guns and fin
ish the railroad they started some time
ago SO as to concentrate men and sup
plies rapidly on the frontier. Suppose
they simply say to the Russians: I'VE
made war to get Korea and having oc-
cupied it we await your pleasure,
honorable sirs. Suppose you come and
turn US out 2"
In that case. as we have argued be-
fore, Russia would be in serious
predicament and the Japanese would
lose no prestige. Up to the present
time everything indicates that the Jap
anese are not bothering much about
Manchuria. They could have landed at
Newchwang long ago or on the coast
west of the Korean border. Instead
they have conferred everything on Ko-
rea which is far from being a good base
from which to make land attacks on
Port Arthur and Dalny. What can they
mean if it is not defensive occupation ?.
OF course Korea could be used as a
point from which to attack the rail-
road. which passes near, and that may
be done for the reason that the Of
fensive is sometimes the best defensive
But can any one tell why the japanese
should invade Utmost Manchuria when
they plainly indicated in 1895 and again
in the diplomatic correspondence pre-
ceding this war that they did not want
it and while they now possess the prize
they sought?

The suggestion of cutting out the
salary OF the President of the Board
has been made but this will not furnish
the necessary reduction even If i. is
deemed advisable. The Board existed
for years without a salaried President
though DIR. Woods term there was the
perquisite of the port physicians post,
which returned a good-sized income.
and the purse of several thousand dol
lars given DIR. Wood by the business
community for his services during the
plague, furnished ample and deserved
recompense, though il was not in the
form of specific salary.-Bulletin.
The Port Physician was DR.. Day, not
DR.. Wood. 1t is true Dr. Wood was
given purse by the merchants for his
services. during the plague and there
could be no objection to the merchants
doing something for DR.. Cooper or
any other worthy successor. The point
made by the Advertiser was that the
public salary of the President should be
cut of and that the duties of the post
should devolve upon some department
head. 1t is time to double things up.

A CHANCE FOR ECONOMY.

4 erhe Legislature meets tomorrow.
called in special session by the Gov
efnor for the express purpose of reduc-
ing the Territorial expenses to an
amount not in excess of the Territorial
income.
The general sentiment of the business
portion of the community has been
against calling this session, on the
ground, based on the past, that the ex-
penses of the Legislature would be
greater than the reductions in Terri
toriaI outlay would amount to. The
need of the most rigid economy on the
part of the Legislature in its expenses
Is therefore necessary if it would re-
gain the confidence which was lost by
the occurrences of the last session.
The major portion of the expenses
then and nearly or quite all of the alleg-
ed graft, was in connection with the
translating, printing and Droof-reading
work. The Committee on Printing, etc,
sent around to the various establish
ments to get their figures for doing the
work Of printing only That is to say
they did not want figures for the proof
reading or translation and they would
give no guarantee that the work or any
portion of it would go to the office max
ing the lowest figure. Under such con-
ditions asking for figures was sheer
nonsense as no business concern would
think OF getting down to bed rock un-l
less they were assured of getting the
work in event of their figures emitting
them to it.
II the present Legislature means bust
ness from a business standpoint; If 1t
means economy from business stand
point; if it mean honesty and wishes
to prove that it means 1t. the Legis-
Iature will call for tenders from every
printing establishment in the city Of
sufficient capacity to assure the work
being done promptly and properly. 1t
win call for SEALED TENDERS to be
opened at a stated time in the presence
of the bidders and 1t will guarantee to
such bidders that the work will go TO
the lowest one, exacting bond If nee
essary for the prompt and faithful per-
formance of the work. The tenders
should be made to include proof-read-
ing and translation if the Legislature is
going to publish in English and Ha-
wai;an as heretofore.
1t is doubtful if this business method
win meet with the hearty approval OF
some of the legislators as it does away |
with ali chance of graft or favoritisrn
and gets down to the cold-blooded BUSH
ness principle of the most goods for
the least money. This is the principle
that Governor Carter is working on |
however and this is the principle the
taxpayers are asking for and have
right to expect from the Legislature.
VIII there be a majority that viii
stand for it or shall we have another
session of public Office for private gain?

SUNDAY ADVERTISING.

Throughout the United States the
Sunday morning newspapers are known
to be the very best advertising mediums
for the retailer. Their worth has been
repeatedly proven by experience and so
well is it now recognized that many
storekeepers who carry but a small
space in a daily will take five or ten
times as much in their sunday paper
and many merchants invest their entire
advertising appropriation in Sunday
space leaving the balance of the week
to take care of itself. This last method
can be paying one only in exceptional
cases as the wise merchant knows that
he must keep his name before the pub
lie all of the time and spasmodic APP
peals are of Questionable value. All of
the large department stores OF the cities
use Sunday space lavishly in playing
UP their Monday specials. these spe-
Gals being marked features of the retail
business of the day.
There are many good reasons, some
of them evident to anyone, why the
Sunday paper is worth more to the
advertiser than the issues of the other
days of the week. Sunday is the only
day that the busy man can really f1nd
time to read his paper. On other days
he hurriedly glances over the news
headlines on his way to business, reads
the stock and market reports in which
he happens to be most interested and
Only reads the advertisements when he
wants something.
Sunday he settles himself comfortably
with his paper and cigar, reads every
thing, including the ads and discusses
them with his wife when he is fortunate
enough to have one. When he is
through with the paper the wife takes
it up to see what is doing in society
and to look for the bargains of the next
and following days. The workingrnan
is apt to buy the paper on Sunday only,
as he has no time to read it during
the week and on Sunday it has the
news in regard to sports and other good
reading which he enjoys. This is why
the Sunday papers everywhere have so
much the larger street sales, and it goes
to show why they are so valuable a.
medium for the merchant doing a retail
business.

EARTHQUAKES AND VOLCANOES.

Oahu rarely has an earthquake II
| is many years since the last disturb
ance of that kind occurred and then nc
harm was done. Though tradition goes
back among the natives more than a
thousand years there is not one of d
seismic CONFUSION here. On the island
of Hawaii a sharp shock is row and
then felt. one due to the presence Of an
sactive volcano which, when it takes in
fuel or starts it's vast machinery, causes
the earth about it to tremble. The
movement, when it comes, is much less
alarming than the ordinary temblor in
California. There the earth sways back
and forth as if some Titan had g-asped
it and was trying to hurl it, now this
way and now that, into the depths Of
space. Here, the effect is that of a
thrill, mere nervous SILVER, which
passes in a second or two and hardly
disturbs the pictures on the wall.
The causes of difference are readily
guessed California has no vent for
imprisoned gases except such as it
makes by opening, through seismic en-
ergy, million tiny cracks in the SOIL
Just after an earthquake there one
smells sulphur as he does near the
crater of Kilauea. The odor pervades
the air over the whole affected district.
Here, with the chimneys of Kilauea and
Mauna Loa always opener il not open

below--the gases have little trouble in
reaching the surface. They expand and
the volcano, being the place of least
resistance, let's them out. 1t would be
well for California with it's vnsr UNDER
lying strata of oil and natural gas if
Shasta and Mount Whitney We're ar
tive; and it is not unlikely that the
splitting of the Golden Gate, which
occurring within three or four hundred
years past, was sequence of the sud-
den extinction OF volcanic fires. That
there may never be such a basic change
waii is the best wish any friend of the
Territory could have for it. Fortunate
ly, for tens of thousands of years there
has been no deviation from the rule.
which brought forth new volcano,
from the bottom of the sea whenever.
the last of the old ones became or was
becoming extinct. Volcanoes lived and
died in turn on Kauai, Oahu, Moiokai
and Maui and one is slowly dying on
Hawaii. Biologists look forward to
the creation of another southeast of the
big island.

While the biograph pictures at the
Orpheum are not nearly so clear as
they would be with proper alternating
currents. they are good enough to show
what might be done by moving pictures
for Hawaii. There was nothing in last
nights entertainment, good as it was,
which so aroused interest as. the scene
of the train robbery. Honolulu and Ha-
wall, caught on the fly in that way,
could be shown over the Union with
all the good results which could come
to the Territory at a time of high
steamer fares. With the adjunct of
low fares they would crowd the place
with tourists.

The southerly rains which Oahu has
been having SO long have made up in
some measure for public discomfort by
their good effect upon vegetation and
crops. Things have grown marvellous
" in the last few weeks as they always
will where heat and moisture work to-
gether upon fertile soil. Gales have
been few and young fruit, particularly
alligator pears, have had chance to
set. The year before early March winds
were high and the blossoms were blown
of. 1t is now too late for the trades to
slow destructiveiy and the fruit crop
ought to be good.

Why should the Territory bother it,
self about Illicit distilling? Everywhere
else that matter is attended to by the
United States Marshal. If the Territory
would drop the quest of moonshiners,
Uncle Sam would soon equip a. squad of

the prison for such men as he convicts
Now the Territory boards them at it's
own expense.
