CANTON NIGHT At
ORPHEUM THEATER

But for the heavy rain which fell
the Orpheum theater for the benefit of
Oahu Canton, Patriarehs Militant,
would unquestionably have been one
of the most successful benefit perform
ances given in Honolulu in years. AS
it was, there were not many vacant
seats. and those who did attend re-
joiced that they had risked little
wetting to enjoy one of the best shows
of the season The play of the even
ing was ''Other Peoples Money" a
three-act farce comedy. 1t was pre-
ceded by a sketch entitled "A Tip on
the Races" in which only Mr.. Cooley
and Miss Gladys Kingsbury partici-
pated. The sketch provided twenty
minutes of pleasing entertainment.
Following it Thomas Lane sang a
couple of sentimental ballads, making
his first appearance here.
"Other Peoples Money" has a laugh
in every line Its dialogue is witty
and it scintillates with epigrams. If
YOU can't get money by patrimony,
says Hutchinson Hopper. you must
get it by matrimony," AS Hopper, MT.
Cooley was excellent. Miss Kingsbury
as Tilka Van Sittard, a pretty Chicago
girl who has stage aspirations, was
vivacious and charming. Miss Rar-
riet James played well the part OF
Marjorie Hopper, while Miss Florence
Plummer did unusually fine work as
Mrs Hopper, who rules her household
with an iron rod Charles Dey pro-
yided a big share of the entertainment

false keel had touched the coral. The
board of survey reported that no injury
had been done.
The Despatch has only about twenty
five tons of freight for this port. In
addition to this she unshipped and dis
charged her extra oil bunkers as she
will not need these in her work among
the islands, her regular oil bunkers
holding sufficient for these cruises. She
expects to sail tonight for Eleele and

THE FALLS OF CLYDE.
The American four masted ship Falls
of Clyde, Captain n. c. Larsen, arrived
in port yesterday forenoon from Monte
rey with nearly 1880 barrels of fuel
oil. She was sighted Sunday about
sunset, ten miles northeast by the Dia-
mond Head lookout, but stood off TO
sea for the night, coming up within
sight of Diamond Head early in the
morning. Captain Larsen reports fair
" good weather most of the seventeen
and half days of his voyage. He was
in company with a British or French
four-masted bark for about six hours
on January 81, the stranger being ap
parently bound for Australia. No sig
nails were exchanged.
Captain Larsen owned an interest in
the American ship Eclipse which was
commanded by his namesake and which
was abandoned sinking January II. As
the Eclipse was not insured, he will lose
several thousand dollars.

probably on Wednesday for Monterey.
