OAHU STUDENTS
WILL PLAY FARCES

Two very Imaginable farces are to be
given by the students of Oahu College
on November the twentieth, "The
Sleeping Car by William d. Howells,
and "My Lord in Livery" by S. II.
Smith.
"The Sleeping Car needs no COM
ment as 1t is perhaps the best known
of Mr.. Howells famous sketches. The
plot of the other play hangs around
a wager made by Lord Thirlmere, III.
NJ S. S. Phlegthon, that he will get
a ring from Miss Sybii Amterby IS finger
before he has known her half an hour.
Sybil and two girls who are with her
as guests hear of his intention to enter
the house disguised as footman and
anticipated him by dressing up as
maids. The real footman Unexpectedly
appears in the scene and denounces
Thirlmere as suspicious character. His
lordship perceives the suspicious of the
girls, rises to the situation, and, under
the guise of burglar, carries off the
ring.

at the Seaside for the Elks. 1t was
the last of their entertainments, and
was one of the best.
So far as the writer is concerned,
this article ends theatricais, but in
closing, suggestion is made to the men
who have done so much to amuse, SO
much to advance the art of making
people smile and so much for charity,
Let them get together and consider a
monster benefit for Leah Home.
There may be some who are still
here who may decline to go on, but
most of them will if the cause is right,
and Leah Home certainly needs all
the public can give. The matter has
been talked about among some Of the
older amateurs and willingness
shown by them to do what they can,
even to the extent of backing their
faces. 1t is believed that the opera
house would be filled at least two
nights if some of the old skits were
played by the men who were favorites
twenty-odd years age. The public
would generously support such an af-
fair, and the home would be better off

audience wondered at the proficiency of
the young man who was inexperienced
as a minstrel. They were ignorant of
the fact that a hat pin was the axis
upon which the instrument revolved.
Senator Coelho, who was engaged as
clerk in the police station at the
time, occupied a prominent part in
the circle at this performance, his song
being, "Mollie and I and the Baby"
His voice was good one in those days,
for it had not come in contact with
the stubbornness of dumpcart mule,
and his song was one of the pleasantest
parts of The program. Senator Palmer
Woods was also in the circle, and for
certain reasons that song appealed to-
him. Billy Hoogs sang "Hearts, a.
pleasing song and at the same time a
popular game in the old Hawaiian
Hotel. There were three comic songs
and a darby melody on the program,
the comedians being George L. Ritman,
who left here after the revolution of
'95: w. B. Ash, who left in '94; Billy
Charlock. who is still here, and the in
imitable Chester Doyle, also here. Ches-
ter made a go with parody on the
popular song, "There Are Moments
When One Wants to be Alone. - The
hit was in the local color he injected
into it. for. as I remember it, the words
were like these:
"Now, all of you remember when
I started for Hawaii
On the Kinau, how it filed me
With delight
81 was happy when I started,
But I hadn t travelled far
When things about me
Didn t seem so bright.
ssThen I saw Beckley grinning,
The things about me spinning,
And I fastened to my cabin
I thought my head would break.

MunioipaI roresiqht in Germany.

The city of Duesseldorf, Germany. has established special land fund department with credit of s1,250,0 900, furnished by city bonds. It is the busi- ness of this department to acquire land against the future needs of the city. It has power to sell and lease, and 1t is required to pay the interest on the bonds issued on it's account out of the rentals and the profits on sales. The city through this department is fairly and squarely in the real estate busi- ness. Whenever any other department of the city needs d piece of land held by the land fund the lot is transferred and it's value paid over to the fund by the department in question.
 Just how many European cities are showing this increasing aggressiveness fin acquiring and holding land for mis- cellaneous purposes I cannot say, nor can l say whether the policy has had much influence as yet upon the phy- sical plan of the cities concerned. But if it is pursued with tolerable intelli- gence and honesty there can be little doubt that in the long run 1t will have a marked influence in supplementing the already notable tendency of sys- tematic city planning to bring about a reasonable, convenient and equitable distribution of backgrounds, squares, parks and sites for schoolhouses and other public buildings.-F'rederic Law Olmsted In The Survey

of sufficient decisiveness to satisfy anyone that they were not entitled to say or think any patronizing things about the league tail enders. The score was Dayville 9, Danielson 8. and the visitors played as many times better than the home team as is in- dicated by the score.
 Boucher was no mystery to the Day. vile outfit and what they did to his assortment of pitching stunts amply made up for what the other teams have failed to do in the past two or three weeks. They had his measure and swatted his most scientific benders for hits thata earned runs.
 And. aside from all of this, Daniel son helped their guests to win by pulling off some mighty punky fielding stunts that were bad enough to make the fans all but weeep. For instance: a foul fly hit up near first base was chased by Tatro and Farley. Tatro caught it all right, but before Farley was able to get back and cover the home plate two Dayville runners gam boled home; one of them came from sec1nd and the other one from third wild throws and few dropped fly
 Aside from this there were a few balls and a few errors of judgment and few errors of various other sorts and an unspeakable diamond to play on-and the score:

commissionsr Macdonald.

Highway Commissioner Macdonald Is booked to speak on "State Aid" at the convention of the National Good Roads association in Cleveland, Ohio. in September. And there is no doubt but he will be able to impart valuable information on this subject. He not only knows how to build good roads, but he has been wonderfully success full in securing state aid for about ey- cry road project he has fathered. Moreover, he is a ready speaker and will. therefore. not figure at dis advantage in the convention. In con- nection with his theme it woul1 be interesting to know what MT. Mac donald's theory is concerning the de- sirability of national aid for good roads. Is he in favor of all the different aids for this cause which can be mustered? State aid is an old plan, acknowledged to be sound. But na- tional aid is yet to be obtained. It is wanted, and it is needed. but the ad- vocates of it have failed to convince congress that the time has arrived when. it should be given. It would seem as though 1t were a question in which there should be closer co-opera- tion between the states and the nation than there is.-Ansonia Sentinel.
