Nv reason of the controversy which for
a time ragged over this dream play OF
Hauptmann's, it attained an even create
notoriety than it's inherent qualities would
have won for it. Every one knows that
while the drama was produced In AUS
tria and Germany with the approval, re-
snectiyely of the Austrian emperor and
the kaiser. the moral sense of the play re-
suited in a charge of "blasphemy." the
activities of Mr.. Gerry secured the remov
al of the little actress. Miss Pierce. from
the title role and. when she was finally
replaced not only Mr.. Hauptmann, but
a,so the translator of the work, and tn.
manager of the Fifth Avenue Theater,
were threatened with imprisonment. At
ter the first public performance, however,
to which prominent literary and eccles-
iastical people were invited. the papers
ridiculed the 'blasphemy" charge, and
the regular performances of "Hannele'
were permitted to take place.
> Now that tna general public has the
opportunity. through the publication of
an English version of the poem, to judge
for itself. 1t can see how absurd was the
opposition to il. "Hannele" is simple
and pathetic little drama. in which the
truth that the simple and oppressed may
have in store for them al of the treas
ures of heaven is given concrete ex-
preston. This expression Is full of
pathos and of poetic beauty. The effect
baldest realism and the most sordid ma

DIPLOMATIC RESIDENCE
HOME SEEKERS ARE
LOOKING To HAWAII

In his regular weekly letter to the
Promotion Committee, Secretary Wood
says:
LAS a direct result of the interesting
writeups of Hawaii, from the pen of
Miss Carrie Thomas, appearing recent
ly in prominent Southern journals, we
are getting numerous inquiries from
people who have lived in Florida and
who are anxious to know more Of Ha-
wall
.'One gentleman in his letter says,
I have been in fruit raising most of
nv life, have retired from active work
and business with moderate means
and am desirous of spending my life
in a milder climate. / tried Florida
several years but found the winters
disagreeable and the land extremely
poor. What 1 want is a small place
in the country where I can build and
make a good comfortable home.
I'm this connection il might be said
that from our spondence st is very
evident that more and more people are
looking to Hawaii as place for homes,
not simply as a tourist resort, a sem
timent that we are doing our utmost to
encourage" ~

FLORAL PARADE:
MONEY IN BANK

The Floral Parade committee which
takes hold Of the affair in 1909 will
find a snug little nest egg for their
financial fund awaiting them In the
bank and drawing interest. This fund Is
the surplus of the amounts subscribed
over those spent this year and amounts
to s509.92.
Yesterday the accounts of r. H.
Trent, the treasurer of the Floral Pa
rade committee, were turned in to
the Promotion Committee through A.
Gartley. The amount subscribed was
found to total $1291.00, which gave the
committee S1443.11 to go on, there hav-
ing been an unexpended balance of
$15211 from 1907 The expenses of the
celebration of Washington's birthday
took s942.19 of this. sum, leaving
snug balance to apply to next seasons
fete.
1T was decided by the promotioners to
instruct Mr.. Trent to deposit this some
where where thieves do not break in and
steal and remain its custodian until
it was wanted. Coupled with this re-
quest will go the official thanks of the
committee to Mr. Gartley and Mr.
Trent and the others whose good work
made the Floral Parade the, decided
success it proved to be.

ton proceeding in the Circuit Court.
Mr.. Breckons' letter went fully into
the proceedings that have been had in
the matter, and the conclusion of the
proceedings by which title is confirmed
in the United States upon payment Of
the purchase price.
There is every reason to expect that
the money viii be sent here promptly
on the receipt of the certified copy OF
the decree. The money will probably
be sent to the Collector of Customs, to
be by him turned over to the clerk Of
the court, who is made the disbursing
officer by decree of the court.
The work of clearing off the Mahuka
site began yesterday. a squad of pris-
oners were put 10 work on the ground
early in the morning. The fences have
all been removed, and most Of the al
garoha trees have been cut down.
From present appearances it looks
as though Honolulu might expect the
beginning Of construction of its Fed
eral building within a tweIvemonth.

FORTY THOUSAND
PAID IN TAXES
Large Taxpayers Came TO the
Rescue of the
Treasury.

Over thirty thousand dollars was
paid in taxes in Honolulu yesterday,
and over four thousand was received
from the other islands.
There has not yet been any necessity
for registering warrants, and there is
now no likelihood that there will be
for several months, at the least.
Usually the funds in the treasury
get lew just before the end of the Pc
riod before taxes become delinquent.
This year was no exception to the
number of large taxpayers, at the
request of the Treasurer, in order to
prevent any shortage of money to meet
payrolls, have paid their taxes, it is
expected that others will continue.
Yesterday was payday for all Terri
torial officials. This called for a large
amount Of money. But every warrant
presented was paid. A great many
warrants are always paid through the
banks, and the banks, as a rule, send
up the warrants they receive twice a
day to cash them. In order not TO
have an undue number of warrants
presented yesterday, Treasurer Camp
bell, before he knew that he would
receive so much money in taxes dur
ing the day, asked the banks to hold
the warrants they received for a day
or two, until the taxes began to come
in more freely. This they all agreed
to do But in no case was warrant
presented yesterday at the treasury
and not paid.

THE MASCOT WAS
4 GREAT SUCCESS
Magnificent in Chorus Work,
Costuming and Stage
Handling.

THE Mascot" proved a great sue
cess. There was splendid house and
performance that went with uauch
vim and dash. Everybody enjoyed it.
1t was a good show.
The sprightly opera was presented
at the Opera House last evening under
the direction of Mr.. Hugo Herzer, as
sisted by the amateurs of Honolulu,
for the benefit of the Kunalu Rowing
Club
In costuming, chorus work and stage
business, the presentation last night
probably exceeded anything which has
ever been put on the Opera House
stage by amateurs before. The cho-
ruses We're all strong, we'll sung, and
given with dash and vigor. While the
same could not always be said of the
solo parts, there was a very great deal
of excellent singing. Some of the local
hits and illusions We're good ones,
though there We're some that were of
doubtful value. Some clever versas of
local turn in two or three of the
situations would have added greatly to
the swing of the piece.
The opening chorus gave good
augury of success, and Sonny Cunha
and the whole company made a hit in
IF We Only Knew What the Milkman
Sees
Perhaps the sensation of the piece
was the scene at the festivities pre-
ceding the marriage of the Prince and
Fiametta. Mrs Walter Macfarlane, in
most resplendent gown and an inn
mense picture hat with a wealth of
white plunes, introduced as Fiji by
the Lord Chamberlain, sang the solo,
while the chorus was sung and acted
by eight young women in pink and
green, with picture hats of pink.
Their dancing and stage marching was
both dashing and clever. They
aroused the greatest enthusiasm, and
there was a perfect fusillade of
bouquets and leis to the stage.
another pretty scene was the chorus
of the Pages, Excuse My Boldness."
This was by Master Vernon Tenney,
Master Reynold McGrew, Miss Mar
garet Restarick and the Pages. The
costuEling in this. as in other scenes. |
added greatly to it's effectiveness.
Mr.. Hugo Herzer, as Pippo, a Shep- |
herd, was in excellent voice and splen- |
did manner, and aside from this de- |
serves the very highest credit for his |
stage direction. BY virtue of that the
opera went with precision and firm-
ness.
Mr.. w. H. Webb did the low comedy |
part in splendid form in the character
Of Lorenzo XVII.
Mrs L. r. Crook, as Bettina, the |
Mascot. was in splendid voice, and her
solos We're always immensely ap- |
olauded. Her entrance on the stage
was marked with an ovation and a /
deluge of flowers.
Mrs. Hugo Herzer scored a success
in the character of Fiametta.

KAHAUIKI BIDS WILL
Be ADVERTISED SOON

Bids calling for tenders for the erec-
ton Of more new buildings at Fort
shafter viii be advertised for on May
II, and the first steps towards making
a four company post at Kahauid will
be taken. The plans Of the War De-
partment are to practically double the
accommodations for infantry at the
fort. new company barracks, new Of
f1cers' quarters, new mess halls and
kitchens, and practically everything at
the post being built over again with
the exception of the big general as
sembiy building, the quartermaster'
buildings, the guard room and hospital.
When the grounds at Fort Shafter
were laid out il was with view to
at some time building these new quar-
ters, but it was not thought then that
the time would come before the grass
had grown into sod on the parade
ground.
Yesterday a force OF twenty men
from Honolulu were put at work
around the post, cutting brush and
general clearing up the grounds.

Whether the settlement of the site

helping out the appropriation for the
Federal building or not. an appropri-
alton for a building could not be
seemingly more opportune.

REscuERs ROBBED THE HOUSE.

A fire, with a claimed incendiary
origin, broke out in Iwilei last night
at haIf-past eleven o'clock in the
house of Blanche Martin. Willing
hands and brave hearts rushed TO the
rescue of the household goods as soon
as the alarm was given, and while the
proprietor of the place was putting out
the flames the rescuers stole whatever
of the .movables they could lay their
hands on In her statement to the po-
lice the woman said that she was
convinced that her house had been set
on fire to allow some thievery TO be
done in the excitement, an object that
was carried out to perfection. The fire
was a small one beginning inside the
house and was put out without the
assistance of the fire department.

GLUCOSE 4 SURE
RAT ExTERMINATOR

A new way to catch rats has been
for the Alexander Young and Moana
hotels. a way that is cheap and safe
and effective. He smears q board with
glucose and coaxes the rat to walk
rat for the glucose sticketh closer than
a brother and holds the rodent just the
same as tanglefoot holds the fly that
ncautionsly lights on the sticky sur
face.
The discovery, like all big things
was made accidentally. On Tuesday,
room of the Young Hotel it was found
that one of the glucose barrels was
leaking. The barrel was moved out
from the wall and in the puddle of
sweetness that had collected from the
leak it was found that six rats had
been caught, held fast by the gluey
stuff when they had stepped on it. their
struggles to get free having pinned
them only the tighter. Mr.. Foster
thought this thing worth followed up,
considering that there was ten-cent
bounty on rats and that the scientists
of the whole world are looking for
real sure rat exterminator. He took a
board that afternoon and daubed it
over with the glucose, planting little
bits of cheese and bacon in the stuff
for bait. He leaned the board up
against the wall in the storeroom,
where the rats were thickest and
where they had evidently been born
with a full knowledge of how to keep
out of traps, and waited. The next
morning he had seventeen rats, big and
little. stuck on his f1ypaper board, more
rats than all the traps he had set had
caught in three months.
The discovery is important in these
days of rat campaigns and it is ex-
pected that the sales of glucose will in
crease appreciably. The Board of
Health will find a barrel of it cheaper
than a barrel OF poison and not less
dangerous to children.

OLD BISHOPS ARE ASSIGNED.

Baltimore, May 29.-Adverse ac-
tion by the Methodist Episcopal gen.
eral conference on an apparently an
important motion, is said to have
back OF il the determination on the
part of a large number of delegates
to bury the whole question of whether
or not paragraph 25S of the book of
discipline which deals with amuse-
ment shall be changed.
The motion Mas that time should
be set for consideration of the report
of the committee that has had the
question under consideration. The mo-
ton was lost by decisive vote. 1t is
said that there is determined pur-
be discussed on the floor of the con-
ference at all If it is possible to pre-
vent it.
There was a strong sentiment
against any change in paragraph 25S
which will simply remain in force as
IL now stands if the matter can be
kept from the conference during its
remaining business session.
The assignment of bishops to var
ious Episcopal residet was reported tc
the committee on Episcopacy by a
SPECIAL committee of 10 and adopted
by the full committee.
