IT is a daring thing for High School
pupils to attempt anything SO difficult
for stage production as the play pres
ented in the Opera House last night.
but in this case the players not only
aimed high but scored. "Alice-Sit-By-
The-Fi-e" is a play calling for effec-
tive acting. 1t has no farcical situations
which often carry through plays not
artistically presented, and its success
is in no ways dependent on aces
series. Realizing this it had not been
expected that the young actors and
actresses of the Honolulu High School
would rise to the occasion, and the
fairly large number in attendance at
the Opera House last evening were
most agreeably and decidedly sur
prised. I
The presentation was good and the
various floral tributes passed over the
footlights were deserved. The title role
was played by Miss Ray Bell, whose
splendid work had much to do with
the success of the production. Miss
Dell IL last gaining q AOPoee~NACAA 80
her stage work and her playing last
night of a most difficult part certainly
added appreciably to the favor with
which the theater-going public of this
city will look for her name among the
amateur casts.
Miss Lydia Wagner, the ingenue,
was an excellent foil to the leading
lady, her delineation of a stagestruck
maiden, determined to sacrifice herself
in an imaginary cause, being cleverly
given. Miss Florence Crozier, as
'Leonore Dunbar" and Miss Mabel
Lightfoot, as Richardson" were good
in their lines, the latter making much
of a minor part, while Miss Creighton
and Miss Callie Lucas showed talent
in their respective parts.
Daniel King, who impersonated
steve Rollo.' carried off the honors
among the actors, sharing the weight
of the work with E. B. Blanchard, as
"Col. Grey"
Altogether alice Sit-B The-Fire"
was very cleverly given, rejecting a
large amount of credit upon A. E!
Murphy, the veteran of the footlights,
whose training of the members enabled
them to appear so creditably to all as
they did last night The cast of char
acters in full was as follows:

The coming of the battleships Maine
and Alabama next week will make
duck suits and brass buttons greatly
in vogue among the smart set for at
least week and Honolulu will have
a chance to warm up gradually to the
coming of the Atlantic fleet which is
so much in the minds of the elect who
are looking forward to a round of
pleasure that will long be remembered.
OF course the Secretary of the In
terror who comes with the battleships
will be the lion of the occasion and
plans for his entertainment viii in all
probably take form before long. He
will be here for ten days longer than
the hattleships, his stay being about
fifteen days. Possibly a public recep-
ton in line with those accorded the
visiting Congressman and Secretary
and Mrs. Straus last year will be held
in the Capitol or a joint reception to
the Secretary and Naval officers might
not be amiss. The season is likely to
be lively one as it is understood that

Next Saturday night in the dining
room of the Moana Hotel, children's
fancy dress party will be given by
nearly one hundred children. who have
been training under the direction of
Mrs Mary Gum.
The entertainment is to be given at
the Moana this year so that there will
be room for all the dancers. and many
pretty figures that could not be staged
in a smaller place. Mrs. Gum is
making a special effort to make this
entertainment the best that has ever
been given by her classes. and the
children have responded with a will
ingness that has made success certain.
Besides the regular class dances,
there will be over a dozen specialties
that will prove TO be very pretty The
graceful little tots will trip through
the Maypole dance in costume, and are
particularly dainty in this beautiful
oldfashioned dance.
One of the new features is to be the
Ballet of Roses in which some of the

many very pretty effects.
The Center children will give song
and dance specially in which they are
particularly good, and should come in
for their share of applause.
Solo specials by Vernon Tenney and
Solomon Murphy are sure TO make hits
with the audience. as they both have
particularly good voices and not lit
tie dramatic ability.
After ten o'clock the hall will be
given over to the guests, who will fur
nish their own entertainment in a gen.
eral dance, with music by the or
chestra.
Tickets for the entertainment, which
are 81, are being sold by the children
taking part, and may also be had AT
Chambers Drug Store, H. F. Wichman
& Co, and Benson, Smith & Co.

LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP.

Reports were current yesterday in the
financial district that the fire ,insurance
situation was again assuming a phase
which might be called critical The story
which went the rounds was to the effect
that efforts to bring the competing COM
panies OF the District 70 a ground Of
common agreement upon the matters Of
discussion among them had failed, and
that at the present moment these differ
ences represented as wide a cleavage as
formerly.
The trouble dates back a year or two
to the time when through the competi-
ton existing between the local companies
and the foreign comSr@aces with agencies
here, and because. Insurance risks in
Washington were considered good as
compared with other cities, IT was
thought that the rate then prevailing
was higher than II need be. The result Of
the controversy which became very ami
mated at that time. was that the SO,
called middle district" withdrew and
left Washington without the benefits OF
the underwriters association as It had
existed prior TO that time. The difficulty
was met by the creation OF another board
of underwriters. which performed the
work of the old one. and was In fact
made up of several Of the members Of the
old board. This board still exists with
insignificant changes in its makeup.
Since the time OF the first break in the
ranks over rates there has been an hon
est difference Of opinion relative 10 sew
eral matters. among them rates. the null
tiplicity Of agents and rules governing
the schedules Of insurance.
1t was said yesterday by persons con-
versant with insurance affairs that an
important meeting Of the local board OF
underwriters would be held this week In
which some OF the matters at issue would
be gone over again, and it was hoped an
agreement might be reached and the sit
uation cleared OF difficulties, unless it
should happen that the agreement could
not be reached. and n cut in rates started
that would result practically IN a rate
war with all IL would involve.
Considerable interest attaches to the
coming meeting OF insurance men and
the decisions arrived at VII be of great
Importance not only to tie local inSuT-
anco companies. the agencies OF those
doing business here, but 10 real estate
men and others more or less directly con-
nected with the insurance business.
Business on the Washington Stock Ex-
change yesterday was very small in
volume and confined 70 purchases Of frac-
tional lots OF bonds, few shares Of Capt.
tai Traction stock. and flfty-two shares
Of Potomac Fire Insurance stock.

Claiming that their part OF the agree
ment has been completed. and that, as
provided by the act Of Congress Of 1903.
the District should pay them Sl.5OO.OO the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
has fled its application with the Com
missioners for this amount, as due upon
the completion OF certain features Of the
Union Station and the elimination Of
grade crossings.
This demand is duplicate Of one made
By The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
upon which a Ike sum was paid after
the completion Of the station and upon
certain concessions.
On motion Of Engineer Commissioner
Maj. Jay J. Morrow the request Of the
railroad company has been referred 10
Corporation Counsel f. H. Thomas for
an opinion.
Intent of the Law.
The Commissioners must determine
whether the intent OF the law has been
carried out by the road before they can
return answer 10 Attorney C. E Hamil-
ton, who filed the application on behalf
Of the company.
In considering the case. the Commits
sioners must decide whether or not the
railroad has completed the viaduct lead
ing into the station in the northeast part
Of the city, and whether II has elimi-
mated certain grade crossings named in
the act on these points the advice Of
the counsel is sought
According 10 the act, this money shall
be paid out Of the United States Treas
ury. one-half Of Il to come from the rev
enUes Of the District. but before the pay
ment can be approved the Commissioners
must determine, says the act, and certify
that the law has been properly compiled
with and the various requirements car
ried cut by the railroad company.
