THE TUNEFUL
SERENADE TONIGHT
THE PLEASING OPERA WILL BE
REPEATED AT THE HAWAIIAN
OPERA HOUSE.

The performance of the "Serenade"
House on last Thursday and Saturday
night proved such success that owing
to the heavy demand of late Corners
who failed to procure seats and the
many others that have signified their
intention to go again, the management
has agreed to put the show on once
again, and those who fail to attend the
performance tonight will not have an
other opportunity, as this will posi-
lively be the last performance.
The success that greeted the two per-
formances last week was certainly re-
markable, the Thursday night house
being a record breaker, but the Satur-
day night house passed all expecta-
lions, crowding the largest gathering
of people that have ever been in the
Opera House. Certainly the "Serenade"
will rmain a long time in the minds of
Honolulu's public for its pretty music,
charming costumes, stage decorations
and beautiful girls have been a revela-
ton to its theater-goers.
The cast remains the same, but
many cuts will be made in the dialogue
to make the show shorter and those
who attend this magnificent production
tonight will not be disappointed.
Mr.. Hugo Herzer under whom the
strain of this production has been
bearing, is to be congratulated, for his
work and untiring efforts have certain
ly added much to our rather dull must
cal season. His services are always in
demand and one needs only to hear his
voice and see his acting to know that
his art is of the highest

.LYCURGUS HAS
A NEW SCHEME
Is TO ADD A PHOTOGRAPH GAL
LERY TO THE ATTRACTIONS OF
THE VOLCANO HOUSE.

George Lycurgus is going to add a
photograph establishment to the att
fractions of the Volcano House.
He has engaged Alfred e. Williams
one of the H. A. c. champion baseball
players to conduct it for him. His
idea is that there are enough visitors
to the Volcano House to make such an
establishment pay, and that it win
prove an additional attraction. Visit
ors from abroad like to have their pic
ture taken among the surroundings
there, and like to have pictures Of
things they see there to send to friends
as souvenirs. Lycurgds, too, thinks
that considerable business i'm photo
praphs for publications can be worked
up, ..a----,..r--. eco.
AT any rate he is going to have a
photograph gallery, with a dark room
and all accessories at the Volcano
House and Alfred r Williams is going
to run it for him, Williams was to
have gone up there three weeks ago,
but the Honolulu Athletic Club boys
persuaded Lycurgus to hold the place
for him until after the league series
had been completed for they wanted
him to play ball in the finishing games.
In the last game he suffered some
bruises sliding to bases, and he is just
now recovering from these. He will
leave for the Volcano next Tuesday,

AFTER THE AUTOS

q Supervisor Lucas is preparing an or
dinance to regulate he use Of dutomo-
biles, which will be the first piece of
legislation here regarding the ma
chimes. Lucas proposes to make them
all carry numbers, as is done elsewhere,
and register the numbers with the au-
thorities. Then when a machine runs
into anybody the victim, if he is able,
may get the number. and have the sat
isfaction of knowing who did it. The
ordinance will also make speed regula-
tons and provide penalties for running
over people at an unreasonable rate.

REPORTED TO THE POLICE.

Manuel Silva a -hackdriVer, reported
to the police this morning an attempt

dressed like soldiers, got into his hack
and told him to drive them to South

a negro and returning with bread.
They then directed Silva to drive them
to Waikiki They ordered him to stop
at the bridge by Makee Island and in
quired the price of the fare. Silva re-
piled that about $3.50 would pay the
damage. They said that they did not
have any money but would pay him the
next day, St-fk ,f'wfT"
Then they asked him for 25c and then
for SOC. He gave them 25c. when they
demanded more, Silva tried to turn
his horse around to return to the city
but one of the men ran forward and
caught at the horse head Silva realized
that the men evidently intended to
hold him up so he whipped up his horse

LIQUID ASPHALT
FOR THE STREETS
HOLLOWAY WRITES TO SUPER
NISORS REGARDING A NEW
METHOD OF USING OIL

A new method of using oil on public
streets is being considered by the
County supervisors as result of cor
respondence of upervisor Lucas, Su-
perintendent Holloway and q California
firm which is interested in the prepar-
alton of crude oil for street purposes
The correspondence is in the hands of
Lucas as chairman of the roads and
bridges committee. In letter to Hol-
loway the California producers de-
scribed the proposition as follows:
The use of crude petroleum for this
purpose was first commenced in this
State to btain relief from the dreadful
dust evil that prevailed here during the
long dry part of the, year. 1t effectual-
ly accomplished this object, and for the
purpose of temporarily laying the dust
the light cheap oils are as effective as
the heavier asphaltic oils. There are
those who are still using oil on roads
and streets merely as dust layer; but
others who are after good roads rather
than temporary relief from the dust,
have made great advances ON the crude
methods first employed and are obtain
ing smooth, hard surfaced roads, and
streets with heavy asphaltic oil or what
is really a liquid asphalt"
Riverside has several miles of such
street, it is set forth, and Los Angeles,
Pasadena and other cities are adopting
the system.
superintendent Holloway says he
firmly believes that County roads in
the Islands could be greatly improved
by use of heavy crude Oil, though he
doubts the advisability of using it on
macadamized roads, unless they are
closed to traffic until the oil has had
time to properly mix with the maca-
damized form a solid surface.

DECLINE IN THE
ART OF BURGLARY
A BURGLARY IN NEW JERSEY
is DRIVEN FROM HIS WORK
WITH A TENNIS RACQUET

The progress of the arts and sciences
is favorite theme with many persons.
There is reason for this because prob
ably the arts and sciences do progress,
and because it is a subject on which
any fluent talker can converse Impress
lively without knowing anything about
it. There are other subjects which are
taken advantage of in the same way,
but that is another story.
There is one art, however that seems
decadent 1t is the art of burglary
Perhaps there are some persons who
will deny that burglary is an art, but
then there are men who will deny the
force of gravity and the spherical shape
of the earth. In fact, there are some
men who will deny anything which any
body else will affirm. There is really
only one form of denial at which men
will balk, and that is a self-denal.
1t is not contended that all burglary
is art. In the ranks of art may always
be found persons who should have
their hair cut and be set to work in an
honest endeavor to shovel ocal or sand
and thus do something worthy of their
ability. There is much painting, archi-
lecture music and poetry that is not
truly art. To prove that all architect
ure is not art, consult the pension Of
fee; to prove that all sculpture is not
art, observe the equestrian statues that
prance in the parks; to prove that all
painting is not art, go to the art gal
leries of the new rich; to prove that all
poetry is not art, read any of it and to
prove that all music is not art, rent L

VISITS FAMOUS
BATTLE-GROUND
AMERICAN GENERAL EXPLAINS
DEFEATED BY WELLINGTON.

WATERLOO, Belgium, August 81
Lieutenant General Adna r. Chaffee
arrived here this morning and spent
the day going from point to point,
studying the famous battlefield He
was accompanied by his aids, Captain
Hutchinson, Captain Nolan and Lieu
tenant Crimmins and also by Mrs. and
Miss Chaffee and Congressman William
A. Smith of Michigan and family. The
party was Joined on the field by Con-
gressmen Burke of South Dakota, Moon
of Pennsylvania and Dickerman Of
Pennsylvania, who, as well as Con-
gressmen Smith, We're members of the
American group at the Interparlia-
mentary Congress at Brussels.
Arriving at the position where Wei
lington took his stand after Quatre
Bras, General Chaffee led the party to
the top of the mound, where the Bel
GUM lion marks the center of the con-
flict and from which the vital points
La Haye Sainte, Hougomont and La
Belle Alliance-are plainly discernible
The general showed perfect familiarity
with the technical developments of the
battle and graphically outlined the Of
fensive tactics of Wellington and the
final defeat of the imperial forces. The
Congressman pressed the general with
questions, which brought out interest
ing comparisons between past and
present military conditions.
1t is a great field for battle" said
the general, looking out over the vast
rolling plain. The allied armies clear
ly had the advantage of position, for
the center of Wellington's lines is high
and is screened by that sweeping
ridge, while the position occupied by
Napoleon's forces is on that low
ground without cover"
When Congressman Smith asked
what was the main contributory cause
of the disaster General Chaffee replied
1t was the division of forces. AL
ways before the battle of Waterloo
Napoleon's successes had been gained
by the massing of one solid and ire
sistible force, but Blucher's approach
from the east for the first time com
PEELED a division of forces. That was
the fatal turning point"
Congressman Moon asked how the
fact that 1900 were killed or wound
ed in nine hours fight compared with
the battles of the American Civil War
and the Russo-Japanese war.
THAT is about 33 per cent" answer
ed the general, (which is a terrific per-
centage. Japan's losses will not exceed
20 per cent. At Gettysburg we had a
loss of 10000 in three days"
General Chaffee with his staff and
family returned to Brussels. He will
leave for Paris tomorrow to attend
the French maneuvers.

The REV, RATH
WAS VERY Rash
PLUMBING INSPECTOR KEEN
SAYS THE PALAMA KICKER
THRILLED WITH TRUTH.

Plumbing Inspector Keen this morn
ing took charge of the Palama district
in which the Rev. Rath has declared
that there are numerous insanitary
spots, and made an investigation of
the district. DR.. Pratt, who has charge
of the Board of Health sanitary in
spectors, is on Maui, hence Keens ac-
ton. After going over the district
Keen declared at noon today
that the Rev. Rath was certainly guilty
of taking most improper liberties with
the truth.
Il have been over the district" said
Keen, and l must say that the state
ments made about filthy conditions are
surprising. The conditions described
by Mr. Rath do not exist. If they did,
the Board of Health would not be able
to control the matter so there is no
justice in criticizing the Board. The
Board of Health has no control over
the garbage department and cannot
make it remove things which ii thinks
should be removed, 1t may ask the
garbage bureau to remove stuff which
1t thinks should be removed, but it has
no control whatever over whether the
garbage bureau acts or not The sani-
tary inspectors have no control over
removal of garbage"
This afternoon Keen is making an
other visit to the district in question.
He has invited newspapermen to ac-
company him, with a view to giving
them a proof of the untruthfulness of
the statements in Rath's charges. The
charges in question were read at the
meeting of the Supervisors last night,
having been sent to the Governor and
by him transmitted to the Supervisors.
