All Manila cigars placed on the mar
kets are not the best product of Ma
Mia, if some of the Manila newspapers
are to be believed. The Philippine pa.
pers are up in arms against take Ma
Mia cigars being sold as such on the
mainland. The Manila Times says edi-
torially on the subject:
Our Poor Cigars in America.
After all that was said on the sub
ject and despite the determined effort
of the government, a number of ship
ments of the worst cigars made in the
Philippines have been sent TO the
United States. 1t is true that the bulk
of the cigars that have been shipped
have been of the better grades, but it
would have been infinitely better for
the trade if no poor cigars had been
sent. 81 was offered fine Manila

"In the fall of 1887 was induced
by heavy domestic Affections and the
failure of my own health to visit the
United States. = = / arrived at the
Islands again in the spring of 1910 and
resumed by labors in the Mission Sem
mary. At the general meeting of mis-
sionaIies in May, lS41, it was thought
that the attitude and circumstances of
the nation der>anded more full and
definite history than had as vet been
written. The task was assigned to me.
1t was with diffidence that l COM
menced it, but the growing conviction
of the need of such a work has helped
to sustain me through it,
81 have taken much the same
method to collect information as in
1896. A Royal Historical Society has
also been formed, by means of which
some information has been gained i
lave taken great pains to be correct,
and fondly trust that no important
statement is far from the truth. The
work has been written amidst the daily
cares and labors of the seminary. and
in a feeble and precarious state of
health 1t is hoped, therefore, that due
allowance will be made for its many
defects.
cit will be seen that the detail of
missionary operations at the Islands
constitutes the main feature in the his
tory of the nation. To disconnect the
two things would be as impossible as
to write the life of Washington with
out abiding to the American Revolu-
ton. Changes in the nation, effected
by the introduction, progress and tri-
umphs of Christianity, constitute the
sum of Sandwich Islands history. This
fact, to the mind both of the Christian
and philosopher, gives to the history
most of its interest.
eff this unpretending volume shall
be the means of rescuing some import
ant facts from oblivion which other
wise would have been lost; if it shall
rende- assistance to some ADLER pen to
write more perfect history; and,
above oil, if it shall tend to enlist the
efforts and call forth the prayers of
Christians for our ruined race, the
hours which / have spent upon it will
not have been spent in VAIN

CLEVER ACTORS

Students of Oahu College presented
a dramatic program in Charles r.
Bishop Hall last evening, and scored a
success in two sketches-'The Sleep
ing Car" and "My Lord in Livery"
The students displayed considerable
progress over last season IS presenta-
tions and merited the applause and
ripples of laughter which came from
the audience. The staging was in good
taste, and the young people knew their
lines. The hall was filed with friends
of the young collegians, who were APP
parently warm admirers of those in
the two casts.
The first was one-scene sketch,
showing the interior of Pullman car,
with several sections as sleeping COM
partments closed and one open, show
ing the regulation car seats. The COM
edy revolved around one sweet young
lady's nervous endeavors to locate her
relatives in the car in which the sleep
ers were aroused and made caustic
comments. The sketch was well devel-
oped throughout.
"My Lord in Livery was present.
ed by larger cast and was exception
ally good, Reynold McGrew, as Lord
Thirpmire, presenting his part exceed.
ingly well. AS the season goes on, the
young people will undoubtedly give
more attention to makeup and charac-
ter work, together with keener analy.
sis of dialect. The sketches and casts
