IN the presence near them Of a man dressed as
soldier or sailor There is no attempt 10 disguise
the fact that the President heartily approves OF the
action of the army officer who recently preferred
charges against subordinate officer when the lat
requested soldier to leave his seat and go into
another part OF a theatre. The President Is de-

ment respecting an enlisted man He feels l9 ne
ca expression would be in the interest Of the ser

How are our promises kept? Ask any

Ask the following Honolulu man.

Backache Kidney Pills. and following
the suggestion 1 went to the HOLSTER
Drug Cos store, Fort street, and got
some Of these. Having taken them,
they relieved me straight away, and
are, I may say. the best and in fact
the only cure for backache. I have
mentioned the virtue Of this wonderful
remedy to several persons, among
whom is my friend, Mr.. Frank Metcalf,
who found relief, and he is now a firm
believer in Doars Backache Kidney

The Music festival, like everything

share in the gift to the sufferers in San
Francisco 1t has been decided to give
the net proceeds of the Congress of
Song in the Opera House to the Relief
fund.
The two soloists, if they get here,
and there is every reason to believe
that they viii be glad to come, will
need the cheering influences of our
hospitable place. More than that, how
ever, if the young people in the choruses
take hold, as it is believed they will,
a large number of tickets will be sold
which will net neat sum for the cause
which appeals most to the Honolulu
people just now
President Griffiths and Mr.. French of
Punah ou are particularly DESTROYS that
the pupils of that institution aid in
every way possible. The choruses are

offered to sellers of tickets will not be
held out as an inducement. Every body

GETS RIVAL OF CARUSO.
Oscar HammerStein Signs Contract
7cith B0nci, We'll KnO7cn Tenor.

Oscar Hammerstein last night made one of the
most important announcements since he first
planned to give rival grand opera He has
signed a contract with Alessandro Bonci. the
well known tenor, who will sing with him all
next season. Bonci is at present singing in
Madrid He has hitherto resisted all offers to
come TO America. it is said. because nobody
would consent 10 let him sing three times a
week, which he demands Three appearances a
week at his scale OF prices means big outlay.
But Mr.. Hammerstein. evidently feeling that
some rival TO Caruso must be found, has con-
sented TO his terms. which may not now be quite
steep, but which Mr.. Hammerstein says are
steep enough, anyway.
Bonci is a representative pure Italian lyric
tenor carrying bel canto. it is said to regions
where IL used TO dwell in the golden days" At
any rate he has been favorably compared to
Caruso by man. and is said by others TO excel
him. Mr.. Hammersten last night said he mad
not as yet come 10 any agreement with Nine
Nordica. The Bonci contract the only one
signed yesterday.

FIRST ADVANCE IN ICE PRICES.
Thirty-three and 0ne-third Per Cent, and
Further Increase Expected.

The first effect of the winters shortage in ice
was felt yesterday when the American Ice Com
pany advanced the price from 80 TO - cents hun
dred pounds Notice of the proposed advance was
sent to consumers. and the new price went into
effect Yesterday morning.
The worst is yet to come however. At the Ameri-
can Ice Companys Offices II said yesterday that
the river ice cut this year only about one-tenth
OF the supply of last year, and that II is unlikely
there will be more cut this winter. There likely
10 be more advances in prices before
Some ice will be from the lakes. the quality of
which however IS said to be inferior river ice
These conditions presage good for artificial
ice plants. hat while these factories can probably
sunnlv the Increased demand IL is probable that the
prices of artificial ice will keep pace with advances
made for the natural product.
