ploded, the detonation was heard for

THE SALVATION ARMY.

Editor dvertiser:-Among the relig-
ious organizations that are attracting
the attention of the world today no
one of them is better known than the
Salvation Army. 1t is a worldwide
organization, working in ffty-one diff
ferent countries and colonies, and it
has its faithful representatives in
Honolulu
Here in this paradise of the Pacific
one would think the Salvation Army
was no5 needed, but it is nevertheless.
Sin and its terrible effects are seen on
every hand, and practical agencies to
counterfeit and prevent its deadly
power are always welcomed by good
citizens.
The local Salvation Army Rescue
Home, under the leadership of Staff
Captain McAbee, is endeavoring to
build home of their own up in Manoa
valley. They have a small building
there now on the property, in which
thirteen dear little children find a good
Christian home.
AS an observer | visited this prop
erty and noticed their needs First
of all, thew need horse and buggy and
good cow.
The matron has quite nice build
ing fund ON hand with which to erect
a new building on this Manoa valley
property, but still lacks about $4,000
before she can commence to build.
After the new building is erected
the rented quarters on King street,
which has been the home for num-
Der of years, and IS now housing quite
number of homeless girls and chill
dren, will be vacated and will move
to the nice, new, comfortable quarters
in the valley.
It is to be hoped that the good peo-
pie of Honolulu will not let this prac-
teal work be hindered or the erection
of this building be delayed because of
lack of funds.
Come along and help the Staff Cap
tain out, but you are not only helping
her out but you are helping your city,
because it is an assured fact that chill
dren's homes and rescue homes are
necessity. OBSERVER.

ADJUSTMENTS


"Pals,o which is the opening bill of
the Elleford Company s engagement at
the Orpheum, comes highly recon-
mended by Coast theatergoers. The
reception this piece was accorded at its
New York presentation has been dupi-
Gated everywhere the Ellefords have
been seen. The story is that of two
college boys who fall in love with the
same girl. and when she expresses her
choice in the matter the tother fell
low gives an exhibition of his real
character, and thus many of the big
situations are presented.
Miss Luce, whose winsome personal
ity and attractive stage appearance
have contributed in no small measure
to her success, plays the role of 'Sthe
taken by clever people. The stage
settings for the piece are especially
appropriate; one showing a woodsy
spot in the Adirondacks is particularly
picturesque and pleasing. There is lots
of good clean comedy throughout the
play, and from first to last one is high
" entertained with this story of real
people, their rights and wrongs, and
final happiness. Pals will be the
bill for two nights, then there is
change of performance, comedy taking
the place of this pretty play, and dur
ing the entire engagement there will
not be seen any old plays; everything
is new and up-to-date. The Osborne
children, who have been in the East
the last season, are returning with the
Ellefords, and will present a host OF
new features, clever songs, fancy
dances and dainty turns that have
never been seen before outside of the
metropolis. April 18th is the opening
date of the Elleford performances, SO
they will not conflict with the Easter
ceremonies.
Pollard Farewell Performance Tonight.
The Opera House will be packed to
the doors tonight with friends of the
Lilliputians who have come to see them
in their farewell performance The lit
tie artists have made permanent place
for themselves in the hearts of Homo

whenever they return, as they surely
will. The play tonight will be the big

man, and was born with a gold spoon
in his mouth, SO to speak, and that
it is not hard to guess his name.
AS for Teacher she cakes the cake
for meekness, as the boys say, and
seems to love to turn the other cheek
Now to give certain gentleman his
due I will say, that there is something
in what Employer says in regard to
schools; and there is no doubt that
many of the children, and particularly
the japanese and Chinese children, are
being educated ont of the sphere in
life for which they or their parents
were brought here.
And it, safe to bet, that few if any
of them will ever go to work as farm
or plantation laborers. The same IS
true Of girls; for about everyone knows
that they are being so highly educated
and accomplished, that no young man,
or very few, dares to think of mar
riage with any of them; knowing full
well. that they could never keep them
in the style that they are used to.
But l do not hold with Employer in
his idea Of treating men as if they were
machine, or, to quote his own words,
not to care snap whether they 1--we
or die, come or CO.
In fact I can not understand how q
young man can find it In his heart to
say such things. Besides, think he is
wrong in thinking that he has got the
best method of treating men; for in
nv opinian the better Won get in touch
with your employees and the more inter
est you take in them, the better they
will serve you.
Again to treat men in such cold
blooded manner as he suggests seems
outrageous.
For instance, there must be men in
his employ who far more than himself
have devoted the best years of their
life, have given their best talents and
energies to build up the business of
the firm that he represents; and there
are others whose place it would be hard
to fill, and therefore it must be any
thing but pleasant to them, to be told
that they are of SO little account. In
deed, it seems to me that men who
will work for such man can have but
little spirit or independence. For in my
opinion, there is nothing so hard for
good man to bear, as to be unappre-
ciated.
I will also say, that if Employer and
men of his class, knew their employees
better they would not so often be
fooled, and imposed upon.
Yours,
EMPLOYE.

like all children, they know who their
friends are.
The vaudeville show given yesterday
afternoon was a succession of clever
dances and songs, with here and there
a bit of artistic burlesque by such per
formers as Teddie Mcnamara and
things were: ..Sueh a Funny Feeling
When / Look at YOU by Teddie Ne
Namara, Lily Bull, and Freddie Heintz,
the Florodora Sextet, '.Lady from
Madrid by Ada Hind, eoster song,
1.-The Lamberth Walk by Teddie, the
Heintz boys, Ivy Pollard and Eileen
Perkins, and Fishing" by Ivy Pol
lard and Rode McGorlick.
"The Geisha'' last night was the
same finished production in the hands
of the little actors as all their other
plays have been, and was very well re-
ceived by the audience that packed the
Opera House to the doors. All the
clever favorites were frequently en-
cored, and some received enough flow
ers to start a small florist IS establish
ment.
While many compliments are paid to
the clever little players who fill lead
ing roles, or whose personality so fills
the stage that the excellent work of
others is slightly overlooked, and this
is often the case with Irene Finley,
yet that charming impersonasor of male
parts is one of the most important
members of the company. She fills
male roles almost entirely, sometimes
in long frock coat, which gives her the
af of frro w..
sometimes in white duck, and, as IN
q The Geisha,'' in the natty uniform of
British naval officer. Hers are import
ant roles, consistently carried out, and
the audience is .oftentimes put to the
guess as to whether boy or a girl is
playing the part. Miss Finley has a
charming personality and she possesses
a voice of rare quality.
Honolulu people are already begin
ming to feel that the LiIliputians will
leave big empty place when they
leave; but it is not as bad as it might
be, for some of the cleyerest and most
popular of the Pollards will remain
to play in the Pollard No l company,
which begins its season on April 10th.
Among them will be Teddie Mcnamara,
Ada Hind, and Eva Pollard, who have
all graduated from the ranks of the
Lilliputians with the farewell perform
ance given tonight.
