MUNICIPAL BANKRUPTCY.
Just as Staggering as In the Case Of
Private Enterprise.

Private Enterprise.
Over in Massachusetts some Of the
cities ut least ure not worrying over
their debt limits" They are letting
"the other fellow walk the floor.
Haverblll, for example, which some
weeks ago had n slight spasm of mu-
nicipaI reform" has now found out
that after spending her income and
eXhaustlng all her available borrowing
resources she cannot raise enough
money TO pay her regular bills for the
current month. And in Brockton the
public school teachers failed to get
their salaries last week because the
school department had exhausted Its
appropriation and oyerTun ITS avail
nble funds TO tho extent Of S2S,OOO
These incidents move the Boston
Herald to remark that "the question
whether or not a city can become
bankrupt seems to be answered III the
Affirmative Private enterprise In such
financial stralts," it adds, would
be bankrupt And the law of compen-
sation is as inexorable as applied to
cities ms to individuals. The day of
accounting cannot be forever post
poned." Yes. And In oil probability
there are In both Haverhill and Brock
ton municipal ownership fsddists By
the hundred who would like TO put the
municipalities Into buslness"-iDto
gas and electric light and ice mnnufac-
ture, into printing and street traction
and municipal trading" In general
when the disauicting truth is that nei-
tber city can 'run' its present busi'
ness efficiently What Is needed is not
municipal ownership, but private en-
terprise 10 conduct affairs municipal

Ellefords Third Week.

The Ellefords have something new
and original to offer TO the theater-
goers of the Orpheum tonight in the
powerful Western story, THE Girl
From the West" It is different from
most of the frontier dramas of the
day, as it has no murders. no bar
room fights, and nothing that might
be called exaggeration of mining life,
but is just a plain story of a woman
who is wronged, whose friends of the
little frontier camp take I'D her bur
dens and see that she has justice. The
play was presented at the Madison
Square Theater, New York, two years
ago and was one of the biggest hits
of that famous playhouse 1t was
taken on the road and proved that it
could please the West as well as the
East and the Western theater- goer
would be more apt to pick flaws in it's
construction, as they know in the
West how the Western people would
act. There is an abundance of crisp
comedy provided by several unique
characteriZations, and all of the fun
makers of the Elleford organization
will be provided with pleasing parts
in which they will have a chance to
produce many hearty laughs. In
word, 1.-The Girl From the West" char
acters are men and women, it's long
suit is emotion, and it is the exquisite
simplicity of the natural that makes
it please. The play is cast with the
full strength of the company, and if
you like clean, legitimate play
which will make you Jingle with the
thrills of emotion, and laugh with en-
thusiasm at the humor of it's situa-
tons, see tsThe Girl From the Vest
The popular Osborn children will have
an eitirely new speciality to delight
their many friends. Seats are now on
sale at the box-office for all perform

A Great Musical Quartet.

VIII Adams has one of the greatest
musical attractions that ever came to
Honolulu scheduled for the near future.
Under the management of Charlie Glib
bons, the veteran concert manager, a
quartet of famous artists will appear
at the Opera House some time next
month.
They are Herbert Withers, the great
English cellist; Luisa Sabrino, prima
donna who has held foremost place
at Covent Garden as a sporano; Charles
Bennett, a baritone of world wide fame,
and Marguerite Ely, a pianist who
has made a name as one of the greatest
English concert pianists.
Mr.. Adams cannot say at present just
when they will be here but expects to
hear today on the mail arriving from
the Orient. This quartet is making a
tour of the world and is at present in
Manila. From there they Will probably
go to Hongkong and VIII come directly
on to Honolulu on their way to the
States

There will be distinct change in the
program at the Art Theater this even

startle the audience Manager Lawson
has secured some of the best pictures
that have ever been shown on the
Coast, and they will be seen here this
afternoon for the first time. Last
week IS success is worthy a repeat, but
in accordance with the custom of the
Art, there viii be no repetitions unless
there is a general demand on the part
of the patrons of the house. The fact
that the attendance at the Art has not
diminished during the season of the
atricals at the other theaters speaks
well for the pictures shown.

More "Fun on the Bristol"

The Pollards will repeat Fun on
the BristoI' tonight. This comfcaI
piece made a great hit on Saturday
night, and was pronounced as the best
thing the young actors have done here
so far.
The feature of the comedy, musical
farce, or whatever one may call a
clever vehicle for vaudeville, is Al
fred Goulding's role as the Widow
O'Brien In this part Goulding is
simply great. His slim figure is well
adapted to female impersonation, and
his Irish brogue is as rich and true
as though it had just been imported
from the old country.
There are a dozen or more pretty
songs in the piece and as many clever
dances. There are many screamingly
funny situations, and each of the
young people has part that fits
exactly.
There will be no more performances
at the Opera House until next Satur-
day afternoon, when Fun on the
Bristol will be repeated at the mat
inee On Saturday night the Pollards
will give their farewell with a clever
musical farce called under the
Pump"
