The annual meeting of the Honolulu
branch of the Woman s Christian Tenn
perance Union was held yesterday aft
ernoon at the residence of Mrs. J. NJ.
Whitney on Punahou street and over
forty members of the organization were
present. Outside of an able address
delivered by DIR. j. G. Woolley, the
most interesting feature of the meet
ing proved to be the election of Miss
Florence Yarrow as the recording sec
retary of the organization. This was
done by unanimous vote of all the
members of the Union present.
The finances of the local branch were
!. shown to be in good condition by the
report of the treasurer, Mrs. Lydia
B. Coan, which showed that there was
q balance of $124.71 remaining on hand
after the disbursements of the year.
The meeting was opened with devotion
al exercises led by Miss Yarrow, after
which Mrs. j. NJ. Whitney, the presi-
dent of the local union, told of the
GTouDleS winch nau DeeU eHcOunIeFeu
in connection with the installation of
the drinking fountain purchased with
the funds donated by Mrs. and Miss
Bingham.
In speaking of this she stated that
the officers of the union had talked
the matter over with President Pink
ham of the Board of Health a year and |
half ago, and had supposed that the
permission of that official had been |
secured. She went on to describe the i
mountain and of how it had been or
of the fact that, when it had arrived |
here and was ready to be erected in
position, Mr.. Pinkham had declared |
that he had never given the desired
permission and had forgotten all about
the matter. She also stated that three
weeks ago formal application for per-
mission had been sent to the Board
of Health, which had neglected even
to reply up to the present time.
DIR. j. g. Woolley was the first speak
er introduced. He said in part:
"Ladies and Gentlemen: L count
myself fortunate to have lived till the
time when a meeting of this kind can
begin with a note of cheer. We have
always had optimists among us but in
the main, until a recent date, we have
never had very much encouragement
IN the line of temperance reform. Now,
however, everything points towards sue
cess. The spirit of criticism and rival
~ seems to have passed away and we
have now entered on an epoch of Chris
tianship, &c which the saloons must
yield In the last three months two
states have been added to the prohib-
tive area in this country and in
Maine and Kansas the old reprOach,
that prohibition does not prohibit,
has been completely answered by a
rigid enforcement of the laws.
'+Another important thing in our
work, which has only come up of late,
is the fact that the timidity of the
political leaders, who formerly did not
dare to come out and speak strongly
and firmly for what they knew was :,
right, has started to disappear. Such
men as Littlefeld of Maine, Folk of
and Governor Hoke Smith of
Georgia. have come out strongly in p
favor of laws which prohibit the legal s
zed sale of liquor and this movement
las come to stay. lie

only a few of those who filled the Jefferson last night had seen MT. Man tell in aught but melodrama. About four or five seasons ago he appeared here in "The Light of Other Days" He had never come before our foot lights in a Shakesperean play, or in any tragedy for that matter. But last night few could see why he had kept away from Shakespeare so long, and per haps his entang1ements in a civil suit which led to a declaration of contempt against him and his banish ment from New York for decade confined him to for tragedy
 He has many gifts-a deep, rich voice, and best of all that magnetic intensity which is the soul of good acting. This enables him to sink his own personality in his part. and last night the audience saw the thane of Cawdor and the murderous king, not Mir Mantell at all. This is the true test of acting. His acting is superb not only in the scene in which the gracious Duncan Is murdered, but also in the scenes in which the ghost of Banquo rises before him, and in the closing scenes when Birnam Wood comes to Dunsinane. MT. Mantell may lack the grace and finish of this or that actor, but he certainly does not lack the force of the best of them. He is perhaps strongest when he utters the fewest words in the lowest tones. His

 The support last night was not wh ol- Iy satisfactory. Marie Booth Russell as Lady Macbeth is a woman of am ple size and ample vigor, with an am bition that stopped at nothing. but she did not put full meaning in the heroic lines, and she did not quite satisfy her auditors. This was the more re- gretable because the great tragedy hinges on the part that Miss Russell played

These witches are elves who nagically vanish into thin air when i. ever their brief incantations are ended. They are described as wfthered and skinny, but one of them last night was a lady of more than average avoirdu- pois, a comfortable-looking person who could not by any stretch of the im- agination vanish into thin air except with deliberation step by step. She was weird in costume but not in weight She may have been eery mentally but she was not physically.
 But the play was well staged. and
