"A Japanese Honeymoon at Island
Park.

Commencing next Monday afternoon
Joseph ]. Flynn will present the tune
full musical comedy "a Japanese Hon
eyrnCon." The story of the comedy is
In brief as follows: -.
The act opens with the approaching
public announcement of Pin Tu, the
rulers hetrothal. The law decreed that
unless the chief magistrate of village
marries upon his ascendency to that
office within three months. he shall be
sacrificed to the God of Love"
Pin Tu, who seems to have been born
without a heart vainly tries all rene
dies known to Japanese science with
the hopes of falling in love, as the law
Is equally severe concerning loveless
unions.
His matrimonial adviser, Ban Ko,
tries to awaken the edorment little love
of God in his chiefs breast by admin
istering to him a love portion but seem
ingly with no effect. "A happy thought
lays hold of Ban 10, by which he
thinks he can solve the problem.
There having arrived on the island
a little American girl to meet her
sweetheart Carl, an ensign of the
American navy. who will arrive in port
with pleasure party consisting of
Dorothy, an "up-to- date" girl, and
Falsetto. tourist of the old school.
Ban 10 exacts the promise from the
little American, to don the garb of a
Japanese, to be known as Sang Foy,
and if possible work her artless Amer
lean coquettry on Pin Tu in the hopes
of awakening in him the power of love.
This, she consents to do-to weave the
same around her sweetheart Carl.
Falsetto. who arrives with the
American party, is maid of uncertain
age, but having inherited vast es-
tate, provided she married before
reaching the age of discretion. Hearing
OF the broad laws in vogue on the far
away island. where a maid becomes
more beautiful as the happy years fit
by, determines to avail herself of the
al a much exaggerated garb of the
japanese and sallies forth determined
to conquer or die.
She, with the others of the American
party, are presented to Pin Tu. He falls
in love with Falsetto. Carl falls in love
with the supposed Japanese beauty.
Here many complications arise afford
ing much merriment. AS is usual with
musical comedies, all ends happily.
The cast presenting "a japanese Hon
eymooE" is an excellent one. There
is a large chorus of pretty girls, hand
some costumes and picturesque stage
settings. The music is bright anG
catchy with many of the newest song
hits.
$50 Monday afternoon. The evening
performance at $50. Commencing Mon
day, July 5, cars will leave Augusta
for Island Park at $40, $40, 10 and
100; returning after the performance
and connecting for Hallowell and Gar

the patch over the empty socket in my head the same as before.
 Tt was half hour before the rascal afraid I had scared him off. I called his attention back to the cards by mak- ing bigger bet than usual, but not for long. He kept looking sideways at the eye, and, as had placed it just far enough behind him to look into his position to escape its glance. For awhile he kept on with his rascality, being very careful that the eye should not get glimpse of his hands, but he at last got rattled and stopped cheat ing entirely. Every time he looked to his right there was that eye, with its devils expression, staring at him and doubtless noting his every movement.
 ''The oftener he looked at it the more he got rattled. When I saw that the proper time had come, did a little slight of hand myself and held some fine combinations. Ting Ling was hard to draw in, and I didn't win much money, but somehow he took it into his head that us Melicans had got on to the Chinese delicate methods, and after that game there was no more yellow sharping for a long while I managed to rake $600 out of him when he got so rattled that he settled up as the game stood and got away from the eye.
 "1 was sailing out on to the street. when who should come along but Jim Rogers, who l supposed was off pros pecting. Hello, Jim! says I. Hello, Tom!' says he. Where you been?' asked. Tn Calaveras county all the while says he. Any luck% says I. Not bit. Got few specimens, but I don't suppose any of 'em is worth anything Let me see 'em.' says l. He pulled out lot of rock clippings, and I looked 'em over That one is live rock says I No says he; is it| Yes says I. T'll bet that will assay from $500 to S6OO to the ton
 Jim was fiat broke I financed en- tcring the claim with the money had won, and we established the celebrat- ed Glass Eye company, of which I owned half.
 "lt was a long while after the game l played with Ting Ling before any Chinaman would play with white man" EDMUND &. SPTNNEY.
