Tho 18th of May is the anniversary OF
the opening Of tho nrst Hague peace
congress-, and on the sunday nearest to
that date the event is generally COM

sHAKESPEARE AND A NATION
AL THEATER.
Chicago Record : Herald.

The decision of the Shakespeare me-
mortal committee to proceed with the
plans for an architectural and scuiptur-
al monument has not silenced the OPP
ponents of the pile project" as some
contemptuously call II. The demand
that they should hold their peace and
regard that phase of the question az
closed has only stirred up further and
more violent dissent as might have
been anticipated. However, the conro-
versy no longer turns on the mere mon
ument idea. 1t Is realized that the
worlds tribute win necessarily take
the form of statue. But what shall
be done with the surplus? 1t is pro-
posed to raise a million, and no monu-
ment, however magnificent, will cost
that amount How Is Shakespeare to
be further and more worthily honored?
Many playwrights, actors, critics and
men of letters are demanding that the
surplus be- used as nucleus for a
national theater. Indeed, the Shake
speare tribute movement has been
seized upon as the most promising
means of promoting the national thea
ter idea. which had failed to enlist
public sympathy on its own indepen-
dent account.

THOSE ARGUMENTS.

The Mayor, on behalf of the party
di. tators, asks the city to borrow $780,
900 for the benefit of the party.
one of the arguments advanced is
that the finances of the city are now
in such shape as to necessitate either
I'M increase of the tax levy or a loan.
But "a that argument honest? II has
been shown conclusvely chat money
borrowed now cannot legally be used
to wipe out the large deficit OF last
year, which Is believed to exist, though
the dictators have refused to permit the
auditor to publish the truth. as the
law requires Furthermore. II 100000,
or any other sum, Is borrowed, the tax
cs win be Increased to pay the in
tercst ON that money. There is a re-
cent precedent for this. Last year a tax
levy was made for interest on bonds,
though, when that issue was voted. the
CITY was almost pledged not to in
crease the rate an that account, be-
cause the increased use of water would
furnish tho revenue necessary to pay
the interest ON the bonds That pledge
WAC bl'aNN.ll Ah8A NftNls Nv flNBi
now is first to induce the citizens TO
vote for bonds To avoid a further in
crease in the taxes, and then TO in
crease the taxes as a necessary conse-
quence of the bond issue. Is that hon
esty?
Another argument Is that money Is
needed for improvements" Is that
.f
the present party manipulation Is con-
sidcred, the conclusion Is inevitable
that tho Improvement part Is less
important than abe opportunity OF
handling money for party purposes,
But why should tho citizens be taxed
for such purposes Besides, some of
the improvements suggested In the Plea
for more money ought 10 have been
attended to long ago and paid for by
money already borrowed, Why has
that not been done? In view OF the
many broken promises, what guaran-
toe is there that money borrowed Will
be- used for the purposes suggested
None Whatever The administration
cannot expect to have the confidence
Of the citizens as long as 1t ii

LOUISA TESLA
DIES IN PRISON
For Years She Led a Life
That Conferred Her in
the LimeIight.

Louisa Tesla died at Oahu prison
about midnight Monday night, Of pneu-
monia. She was a daughter of F. j.
Tesla.
In local police annals, Louisa Tesla
has been the leading character in sew
eral lively chapters. She was married
about ten years ago, when still girl
in her teens. and several years ago was
separated from her husband by divorce,
he, eventually, leaving the Islands.
Then for several years she led a life
that brought her into frequent collision
with the police, and led her to spend
longer or shorter periods ION the
reef
4 little over a year ago a good deal
of interest was aroused by the an
nouncement that Louisa intended to
lead a new life; that she had joined
the Salvation Army, and would there
after appear in blue uniform and poke
bonnet. No one seems ever to have
seen her in Salvation Army costume,
but at any rate for yea or so the
police court missed her entirely, until
a few weeks ago she was brought in
and sent over for thirty days. It was
while serving that sentence that she
died. Pneumonia took her after a
short illness She died at the early
age of twenty four, after a life that
measured much longer than that in ex-
perience- She sleeps in Makiki Gene
terry.

A WONDERFUL DTSCOV-

This is the age of research and experiment.

during the past century, and among the--by
means least Observation-Disclosures in medi-
cine comes that of TRERAPIOY.
This preparation is unquestionabIy one of
the most genuine and reliable Patent Medi-
eines ever introduced, and has, we understand
been used in the Continental Hospitals by
Ricord, ROstan, JObert, Eepeau, MaisOnneuve
the well-known Chassaignac, and indeed by all
who are regarded as authorities in such mat
RouX, by whom it some time since uni
formly adopted, and that il is worthy the at
tentiOD of those who require such remedy we
think there is no doubt. From the time of
Aristotle downwards. a potent agent in the re-
moval of these diseases has like the famed
philosopher stone) been the object of search
OF some hopeful, generous minds: and far be-
yond the mere power-if such could ever have
been discovered-of transmitting the baser
metals into gold is surely the discovery of
remedy potent as TO replenish the failing
effeetually, speedily aud safely to expe1 from
the system the poisOns of acquired or inherited
disease in all their protean forms as to leave
no faint or trace behind. Such is the New
French Remedy THERAPTON, which NAV Ger.
talniy rank with, if not take precedence of
many of the discoveries OF our day. about
which no little ostentation and noise have been
made, and the extensive and ever-increasing
demand that has been created for this medi-
cine wherever introduced appears to prove
that it is destined TO east into oblivion all
those questionable remedies that were formerl~
the sole reliance of medical men.-Diamond
Field Advertiser, Kimberley.
