GIRL
MAKES A HIT

"The Geisha Glrl' was &resented for
the first time at the Orpheum last
night, and proved to be one of the
prettiest plays ever seen in Honolulu.
The costumes of the Lilliputians and
the scenic effects were exceptionally
well gotten up. and the songs and
dances were all spirited and faultless,
Indeed, there was no particular In
which the most critical could honestly
suggest an improvement.
A specially unique feature of the
production was the bag-pipe solo by
Master Teddy Mcnamara, who was
clad in a most comical, Chinese cos
tune.
That the play, which is unusually
full of intricate situations and comic
predicaments, ran so smoothly, speaks
well for the historic ability of these
Little People. There is no doubt that
they have made a permanent place for
themselves in the hearts of the Homo
lulu people, and, If they ever come here
again, will be welcomed enthusiast
cally by everyone who appreciates
good acting, or art for arts sake.
"The Geisha Girl" will be repeated
tonight, to be followed by a matinee

REGULATING
THE WIRELESS
BILL INTRODUCED BY HALE
PLACING ALL SYSTEMS UNDER
FEDERAL CONTROL.

WASHINGTON, March 7.-Senator
Hale has introduced a bill to regulate
wireless telegraphy. 1t provides
that corporations which operate appa-
ratus for commercial purposes must
secure licenses from the Secretary of
Commerce and Labor, if the effect of
the messages or signals is to extend
beyond the exclusive jurisdiction Of
the state in which they are made or if
they would interfere with the receipt
of messages beyond the jurisdiction o.
such state. In this manner the bust
ness of the wireless companies will be
controlled by the government NO
license is to be required for the trans
mission or exchange of messages by the
United States The President is au-
thorized in time of war or public peril
to cause the closing of wireless stations
or to convert them to the use of the
government
In order to prevent interference be-
tween naval and military stations and
private stations the President is au-
thorized to establish regulations gov
erning the latter, the licenses of COM
mercial stations to be revoked upon
evidence of having interfered with
military stations. The bill has a pro-
vision requiring the companies licensed
for commercial business to exchange
messages with connecting stations.

THE LATEST ABOUT AUTOMOBILES

The next automobile race for the w.
K. Vanderbilt Cup will be held next
October on the new Long Island
course, which is being pushed to- an
early completion.
The new automobile parkway is
about thirty miles around and with
good glasses the spectator from the
grand stand is able to see the con-
testants at all stages of the race.
The. other RACES for the Vanderbilt
cup which have been raced for on Long
Island had to be stopped on account OF
the large crowd which insisted on
crossing the course during the pro-
|gress of the race.
[ On che new course it will be impos-
sible to see the race except from the
enclosure, as the entire course is fenC-
ed i'm which is the property of the
Vanderbilt Cup Commission.
The, course when completed Will
be opened to any motorist on the pay
ment of a small sum which will help
to keep the course up. One can go at
any speed he desires as no one will
be allowed on the course except auto
mobiIists.
The coming race for the coveted
trophy will probably bring out large
number of entrants, and it is to be
hoped that an American ear will be
able to win the prize.
Several New York enthusiasts have
already ordered racing cars for the
elimination trials which will be held
some time in September.
Montague Roberts, who is driving
the Thomas car in the New York to
Paris race, will be an entrant for che
race if he returns TO America.

that the new bleacher at the baseball
grounds should be used this coming
season as a ten-cent stand
There are a large number of chill

ten cents.
The chances are that the league
would take in more money il they
charge ten cents for this stand, and let

ure the message? "By beholding
we become changed" Then let us
ever behold the bright and the morn
ing star and become prepared, that
after life's season of change and de-
cay we may bloom again in the Eden
wales above.
In the brief sunset hour, ere the
twilight hangs its softly glowing cur
tains over all the land, the mellow
golden light pours over the wood
lands and foods the valleys, where
tinkling streams curve and wind be-
tween banks of velvet verdure, along
whose edge the flowers of autumn
hang their heavy heads. Then the
birds begin their even songs, and the
music floats through the quiet air
with passionate cadence. All, there
Is In these scenes and sounds a fore
taste of Eden restored, where death
will be unknown, and we shall stroll
through the rose-perfumed wales of
earth made new and list the happy
songs of birds. And in that land of
endless Joy and peace we shall reign
upon the throne of the Prince of
Peace, the warrior who conquered.
Sin and death and the grave, base
triumvirate in the earth camp of
strife. There the light shall be seven
fold, with no mists to obscure the
beauties beyond, for the light of that
home, that city glorious, is the reful-
gence of the light of the world.
There, where autumns shall know
no decay and death shall be unknown
where the burdens of life and part
ings shall never be felt; il that land
of far-reaching distances, of broad
streams of fowery gleus and lily-star-
red mountain slopes, we shall meet
again the faithful loved ones of earth,
who now sleep in peace. And as we
go bravely on to life's fair autumn,
though 1t may mean for us dissoln-
ton and decay for a season, let us
bear in mind the helpful thought of
the poet, that
"Age is opportunity. no less,
Than youth itself, though In another dress,
And as the evening twilight fades away,
The sky is filled with stars invisible by day."

THOUSANDS WON By AXE BLOWS.

A recent dispatch from Windsor,
VT, says: The boast of Maxwell
Evarts, at a dinner in Washington
last winter, that the Green Mountain
State possessed a woodchopper who
could go into the woods, cut down,
chop up, split and pile five cords of
wood between sunrise and sunset, was
made good a few days ago in the
woods at the north of this town, on
Mr.. Evart' farm, when Edward Moot,
of Weathersfeld, not only performed
the feat, but did 1t in an hour and
half less than the required time, and
had had an extra eighth of cord in
his pile and an extra half cord of
chopped and split wood on the ground.
The novel contest was witnessed
by number of prominent men whom
Mr.. Evarts had brought from Wash
ington, New York and Boston, and
who 6sa gaf6efsddi f 10 shee6dtlhag ct dthg at6 a6
applaud the prowess of the State
champion. Among the guests were
L. F. Loree, president of the Della
ware and Hudson Railroad L. A.
Coolidge, Assistant Secretary of the
United States Treasury; Samuel G.
Blythe, of New York, and A. B.
Kittredge, of South Dakota.
Wagers aggregating several thous-
and dollars are said to have been
placed on the contest. Champion
Moot, in addition to receiving 500
for his days work from Mr.. Evarts
is said to have won considerably more
by backing himself to perform the
feat.
Woodchopper Moot laid out row
of axes, all sharpened to keen edge,
shortly before the rise of the sun, in
the edge of bass wood growth.
Refreshing himself with drink of
brandy and milk, he made ready for
the contest. His son, Frank, stood
close by, ready to hand the chopper
his axes and wedges as needed.
At $50 Moot drove his axe into
the first tree. At 1890 he had cut
down eighteen trees, ranging in length
from sixty to seventy feet, and from
nine to thirteen inches in diameter at
the base. He had chopped and split
three and halt cords. He said then
that his muscle was as good as when
he began. He believed that all of
the five cords would be chopped and
split by o'clock in the afternoon,
when he would begin to pile it. AT
2. 40 he had finished chopping and
splitting the five cords stipulated,
and the piling was about one-third
completed.
Moot stopped to eat twice during
the morning, consuming ten minutes
each time. After 3 O'Clock, realizing
that he would easily win Mr.. Evarts'
wager, he worked more slowly, but
at 4.22, an hour and twenty-eight
minutes before sunset, he laid the last
stick in place amid the cheers OF the

A COURSE OF OK.

In the choice of motor power allow
me to suggest the OK. The horse
leans forward to pull and even helps
himself along by bobbing his head.
He jerks load out of hard place
by plunging bodily against the collar,
stopping and lunging again. He
starts suddenly forward at his release.
He works himself into lather, and
you, If you are the right kind of per-
son, cannot help feeling for him with
inward stress and strain.
The OK does not bob horn. He
simply journeys, and the load goes
along. When he comes to tough
place his pasterns do not bend down,
he does not squat to pull, he does not
pinch along on the toes of his shoes,
he seldom blows, and he does not
know how to sweat. He does not ex-
ert himself at a patch of woven soil
and then hurry up when he is past 1t.
The chain becomes sitter, and the
yoke sits soldier to his neck, and that
is all. There is no sign of effort.
The earth may grit Its teeth and
crunch as it swallows the plow, but the
OK stalks on his way. With the share
deep or shallow or lifted entirely and
hanging from the axle, whether he is
plowing earth or air. it makes no diff.
ference to him. His most ponderous
task is still himself, and he heeds no
incidentals
He is out for stroll. He does not
allow work to interfere with the even
tenor of his way. His tendons are
rugged to his out standing rump bones
like so much spar and tackle, aud he
goes along by interior leverage. In
side his old woman hulk Is the me-
cessary engine work, and he will neith-
er go slower for this thing nor faster
for that. There is much about him
besides his disposition that is self con-
tanned. He is the antithesis of the
automobile. To ride on his back is a
cure for indigestion; to ride behind
him is a rest for the mind. A course
of OK is an antidote for the ills of the
times.

What is life?
A stream that flows
And bickers down valley,
Adown it's narrow course it goes,
Slavelike chained to galley.
What is life3
A voyage made
Upon q placid ocean,
Dressed out In richest OF Drocade,
Insensible to motion.
What is life2
A night that's passed
In halls of gilded pleasure,
When time flies by on wings of haste,
A wasting of your treasure.
What is life?
A nimbus cloud,
Some lightning and some thunder,
It flashes and it rumbles loud,
And oft excites our wonder.
What is life?
An effort made,
To lift falling brother,
To stretch hand and lend him aid
To fit him for another.
What is life2
A stop, q stay,
A wait until the morrow,
A resting at the close of day,
To seek Etlrcease from sorrow.
What is life :?
A standing still,
A waiting till the morning,
When rising sun shines DER the hill,
The day in beauty dawning.

Of lab'ring. striving. giving,
Where man stirs up the barren soil
And tries to earn living.

AFF1N1r1Es MATE AT LOVERS FAIR.

Although the happy day is still
some months away the fair maids of
Luxembourg who have not yet been
fortunate enough to secure husbands
have begun to prepare for Lovers
Fair" New dresses are being made,
old ones repaired and all the subtle
known to woman-kind the world over
are being brought to bear upon the
households irresistible in the eyes of
the eligible young men.
Every year, the first Thursday in
December, the peasants of this hilly
province flock into its chief town, Ar
Ion, in charabancs, carts and every
other description of vehicle, in order
to attend the curious ceremony. The
young people strike up acquaintance
as to the possibility of a match. The
young men, who are invariably dress
ed in their best black clothes, offer
presents to the girls of their choice,

take place openly in streets, in houses
of refreshment and in the public gar

All this, however, is but a prelimi-

pared with what follows. IF two
young people become mutually at
tracted at this fair" the respective
families apply to marriage broker,
or as he is called, "a holy man"
This person becomes the honored
guest in the house of the parents of
both contracting parties; he makes
himself acquainted with their exact
social positions, their habits of life,
their tastes transmits these detailsto

considerable esteem by the two fami-
lies, at whose tables they are accorded
the place of honor.
A month later-that is to say the
first Thursday in the new year-there
is second "fair" at Arlon. Here the
lovers formally plight their troth, the
families give their mutual consent to
the union and the broker receives his
remuneration-c consisting off commits

in accordance with an ancient custom,

the parties leave the town in the even

young girls loaded with presents
whether the "holy men" have done
good business.

TELEPHONE MANNERS.

Do telephones lead to politeness or
otherwise When they first came
into use the answer to this question
would have been emphatically in the
negative, but now that they are al
most universally prevalent, an era OF
good manners and "thank yous"
seems to be in full swing. In some
communities, says the YOUTHS Com
6auion, it is not even possible to
quarrel over the telephone, although
the two women who took part in the
following conversation came near it !:
"Hello Is this Mrs. Weston" 7"

be interested to know that at the pres

"Oh, thank you, Mrs. Lawrence
exclaimed the mother. "And may l
return the favor by informing you
that your setter Rab has just rooted
up my two new rose bushes, and that
he seems to be chewing the buds 2,
