Attempt to surn op.r, npu,.

While sweeping out the Opera
House Monday the janitor found
what looked like the remains of a
campfire behind the curtains in the
center of the stage and close to
the partition between the Hume
building and the opera house. 1t
is evident that some klndling was
piled on the stage and set fire to
as their are some of the charred
remnants left. The fire burned a
hole in the floor about six inches
in diameter and some of the en-
bers had droDped through on the
plastering below. Whether the
FIRE burned out itself or the party
who set the fire got scared went
back and put it out is a guess, but
that it was set on fire there is TO
doubt. The kinGling was taken
from a bucket that was setting on
on one side of the stage. No oil was
used as the burning oil would have
attracted attention and would have
got action too quick There is
only one place for a person or per-
sons who would attempt an out
rage like this and is hoped that the
guilty person or persons will he
apDrebended.

MY SLAVES

Rise up said. "and leave your bed,
And get me food to hand"
And the farmer rose and donned his clothes,
And followed my command
go forth" l cried. ION the waters wide,
And search through the south and north,
Ransack the west, till We find the best!"
And the sailors hied them forth.
Take pen in hand" was my command
To the poet dreaming dreams,
And tale impart that will stir my heart!"
And he wrote as it beseems.
Let wheels revolve," was my resolve,
And bear me far away'
And l spake the word, and it was heard,
And / sped to the gates of day
Il am tired" l sighed, when the day had
died.
LET music cheer my soul''
And the strings were brushed, and my spirit
hushed,
AS harked to the anthems roll.
Such-such my slaves of the land and waves,
And l am the king that mods.
Now, rules there lord with stronger sword
Or greater among the gods?

She held out her hand; but the other

Ormond still hesitated, and the flush

''Why?"
CHE was in the very act of reaching for
~ the case; but her hand remained
outstretched across the table, as Ormond
answered gravely:
Because George C. Brown will get
that package from you"
Her lips curved in superior scorn, and
this time she held her fathers property
firmly in her grasp. "Oh, hardly think
So" She answered confidently, and any
one seeing her as she drew herself to her
splendid height would have agreed that
the task was not an easy one.

with his easy smile; but there are other
ways-and Brown is not fool. The

warning. He is quite carpet knight, l
understand, his longest suit being that of
sympathy" The narrator paused to
laugh, as at some humorous recollection
why, only last month he worked up
quite famous case simply by appealing
to a lady's tenderness of heart. Told her
a glittering yarn about having come from
a place-I've forgotten the name-down
in Egypt, and claimed to be carrying his
entire fortune in his belt. He reached
London, and was robbed in his hotel by
masked burglars. Think of it! Lost
everything he had on earth, poor fellow"
Again Ormond laughed at the artful-
ness of Brown, and continued remi-
niscently: "Of course the impressionable
young lady felt sorry for such handsome
fellow in distress, and grew mite too
confidential; which, by the way, was just
what the fox was after. He systematic
ally wormed her secret out of her, handed
her over to the police, and laughed at her
youthful indiscretion. l dare say, Miss
Girard, he would try the same sort OF

enough to give him the opportunity.

of womanly intelligence, Valda grew

DID They KNOW
What TO Do?
National Anthem Played
And Many People
Sat Still

Does Honolulu know what to do
when the National Anthem is played?
Every other man you meet will tell
you that this town knows more about
1t than any on the mainland, but
whether It does or not there was
very interesting incident at the Or
pheum on Saturday night. which
shows that Honolulu is about half
and-half in its respect for the Star
Spangled Banner" and with one or
two exceptions the knowledge of what
to do when 1t is played is more gem
eral near the gallery than in the
boxes.
During one of his encores, Rinaldo,
the violinist who is making fine mu.
sic at the Orpheum, swung into the
inspiring strains of the Star Span
gled Banner" The audience imme-
diately applauded, but in the whole
house, that was crowded to the doors,
there was just one person-and that
u woman, evidently visitor in the
city,-who Jumped to her feet in
Ctantly when the National anthem
was begun. This lady was in the
front part of the box on the left Of
the stage.
Following her example. which evil
IDENTIFY brought some people to their
senses, groups Of four, Ave. and six
gradually worked to their feet, and
when the piece was about half played
through a good share of the audience,
especially in the less expensive seats,
was standing.
Some seemed to think 1t was funny.
In front of the lady who led the pro-
cession were two young men who
held to their seats as If glued. The
lady vigorously poked them in the
back and they responded with sheep
ish grins, as II they were ashamed to
get up or sit still. This, in fact. was
very much the atmosphere of those
who did not rise. They were looking
around like kids at school, to see who
got up.
The incident recalls story told
by one Of those visiting the city with
the Fleet. He was attending a con-
cert in some city of the Coast and one
sailor in particular was present. The
Star Spangled Banner" was played
and the sailor and the gentleman
who told the story Immediately stood
at attention" No one else follow
ed the example. Finally the sailor
could repress his feelings no longer
He slowly and quietly moved his head
around so that he could take in the
whole audience, and then in tone
Of supreme disgust said, Good God,
don't you people know that that is
your National anthem"
The lady who set the pace for the
people Of Honolulu at the Orpheum
on Saturday night was obviously a
newcomer and whether she had been
long in the city or not she taught
some people lesson in respect for thu
National anthem.
