the hbrettist, Mrs. Henry Hayes Edna
Proctor Clarke), and the composer,
Mrs. Jarrett T. Lewis Mrs. Lewis Is
to come here the last week before the
performance and direct the rehearsaIs
of the music.
The play is one of the prettiest ever
produced in this Territory, where the
parts are all taken by children, an ex-
ception being in the miser. The seen
cry and costumes are very good and
the music catchy. 1t is play that
will be enjoyed as much by older chill
dren as well as by the very young
ones. and when the term children is
used in this instance it is meant 10
apply to real big ones, those who have
children of their own and who ENJOY

I When a man gives a community a

/ benefactor What honor, then, should
be paid to the man who gives TO
people a written language3 Last week
+ there died a man who had done that,
and more His name, unknown beyond
a limited circle, was mentioned in brief
and obscure obituary notices; and yet
he had done what probably no other
man, at least in his time, had done.
His place among scholars, as well as
among men of action, may fairly be
called unique.
When, in 1856, Hiram Bingham, at
twenty-five years of age, landed with
his wife on one of the Gilbert Islands,
in the Pacific, near the equator, he
found the natives oily, unclad, dirty,
thieving barbarians, with a disembodied
language To make them clean, clothed,
and honest, he put his greatest effort
in supplying, not the utensils, but the
motive power of Christian civilization.
His gift TO them was to be the Bible.
First he learned the language; then,
with the aid of his wife, who was an
accomplished hnguist, he set about the
task of giving that language body.
He made a vocabulary and grammar,
and then began transIating the Bible
from the original Hebrew and Greek.
Years and years he worked. The diff
cultes were enormous. Once year they

effects the true artist can secure using
water eolors as his medium
The paintings at the Young are of
MakaweIi canyon in both morning and
afternoon lights, and his success in
portraying the landscape of that Sec
ton is remarkable. There is nothing
lacking in color, his technique is per-
feet and the dramatic effect of the
pictures is striking.
He has two views of the canyon Ole
kele, either of which will appeal to
the individual Atmosphere is a fea-
ture, and he shows height and distance
with splendid fidelity. Polihale, a
beach scene, is also gem. He has
two views of this, made at different
times in the day, so as to secure differ
ent effects of light and shade, and in
one the clouds are rolling in from the
sea, casting deep purple shadow on
the cliff. This is sketched from the
top of the sand dune famous for the
barking sands. The effect of the wind
upon the beach sand is shown to ex-
cellent advantage In this. He has sew
eral small pictures of the same scenery
but made from different viewpoints.
Mr.. Wix leaves for Germany on De-
eember 1 and may not return here for
several years. His pictures have taken
well with the people and there seems
plenty of work for him still to do and
as many opportunities left to secure
customers for his work He is not
having regular exhibition in the
hotel, and has shown his pictures only
