rome, on Hawaii, Is the word dupli-
cate of what Mrs. Beggs' friends say
in their canvass for votes on Maui.
Mrs. Beggs holds a responsible po-
sition at the Puunene Hospital, and
although she has only been on Maui

Another chaperone contestant who

NET EXCESS OF $695 CURRENT REVENUE FOR
LATTER HALF OF PAST YEAR-HEAvY RECEIPTS OF INNER.
ITANcE TAX - TREASURER COMBINES PLAN TO REDUCE
BONDED DEBT-wATER REVENUE GAINING.

According to figures tabulated by
Treasurer Conkling, the current re-
ceipts of the Territory for the six
months ended December 81, 1909,
were $40, 794.O6 more than those for
the corresponding period of 1908.
Current expenditures for the Sec
ond half of 1909 were 1921, 4S911 less
than for the corresponding period of
1908. Thus there is a net gain of
revenue of $71,695O5.
Mr.. Conkling states that the in
heritance tax will probably average
from $4,000 to 100000 normally for
each biennial period. For this bien-
NAL period it will amount to possibly
100000 as many odds and ends have
been picked up.
In the opinion of the Treasurer, the
inheritance tax should go into the
sinking fund for payment of the bond

found to furnish additional revenue
to the counties for increased obliga-
lions.

"By next October" Mr.. Conkling
says, 1--WE will have paid off 100000
of debt this period By the end of
the biennial period, although we have
borrowed over 100000 more, we
should have $15OOOO or 100000 of
debt paid off,"
There is likewise a goodly increase
of revenue shown in the receipts of
Honolulu water rates, which are now
devoted exclusively to liquidation of
debt on water works account and to

AN EVENING WITH GEORGE Eliot
(By Eleanor Rivenburgh.)

CART outlined the social and educa-
tional advantages, which now charac-
terize what in George Eliot's time
were unknown, and her place in lite
nature, compared with Thomas Car
Isle, who was a hero worshipper,
whereas, George Eliot loved all Eng
lish people and whose sympathy prin-
cipally was with the poor and lowly,
preceded a wonderfully brilliant rem
dering, of the book Adam Bede.' Miss
Biggart is an actress in every sense
of the word, and some Of her scenes
last evening, would have reused peo-
pie in any metropolis OF the main
land.
The old workshop, the home of the
Bedes, the anxious mother, the strong
son, the appearance of the young gal
liant officer, his meeting with Hetty
the simple country lass making butter
in the dairy, their wooings, her final
seduction, were carried out with a
reality, startling life-like. But the
climax was reached in Hetty's read
ing of the letter sent her by her
faithless lover, where Miss Biggart's
rendering was a masterpiece. The
girls slow conception of it's hidden
the dull inane realization of
It's portent, the soft tears that came
with her dawning enlightenment, the
knowledge which burst like a clap
of thunder on her benumbed senses,
the passionate tearing into small bits
of the fatal sheet, her indecision as
to throwing away anything so pre-
cious, and her final surrender to grief
were worthy of the most noted of our
dramatic stars
Hetty's Imprisonment for child muir
der, her heart touching scene in
prison cell with Dinah, the Preacher,
her timely rescue by the pardon which
gave her life but banished her for
ten long years, were all in themselves
a powerful sermon, and a plea for
social purity, unrivalled in their in
tensity, and will last in the memory
Of those fortunate enough to hear her,
for ever.
After the performance Miss Biggart
held an informal reception, where
congratulations were showered upon
her. "a
A strong feature of the dramatic
scenes was the exquisite rendering of
classic selections on piano and cello,
the strains of which drifted out of a
bower of palms, and enhanced the
beauty of the scene
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1910-01-19

There was a large audience at the
Opera House last evening to hear Ma
belle Biggart, otherwise known as the
Sunshine Preacher, in her condensed
dramatic Interpretation of George
Eliot's adam Bede," though it were
hardly appropriate to deem it very
condensed as Miss Biggart held her
audience enthralled for two hours and
a half, alone, and save for the most
beautiful stage setting, Honolulu peo-
pie have seen in long while here, and
the sweet plaintive strains of a piano
and cello concealed behind potted
palms, she had nothing to aid her in
the difficult task of carrying her audi
ence back with her to Midland Eng
land, where the scenes of the story
were laid.
Although the inclement weather pre-
vented many from attending, the
Hawaiian Opera House last evening
was largely filled with the most in
tellectual people in town, and society
turned out to a treat so rarely offered,
in a literary line. The stage present
ed bower of beauty, potted plants,
palms, dwarf oaks and Poinsetties,
forming a background to a huge bas-
ket of assorted roses on a small CEN
ter table, banked round with Gala
lilies, and rare blooms.
The little artist was introduced by
Prof. Brigham, who with few short
and impressive words, presented Miss
Biggart, who was greeted by a warm
reception. Her dignified 6emeanor,
her severe black robe, her perfect
poise, and self possession were notice.

Miss Biggart took her audience to
LeeR, and to Leeds, and in graphic
force, and with the skill of an artist,
pointed out the old stone home of
Moore whose LaIla Rhook has out
lived him. Beyond this, away beyond
rolling hills, dotted over with grazing
sheep, the home of Handel, whose Mes
siah was composed within it's ancient
precincts, and farther on the old
tumbled dwelling now overgrown with
weeds, and crumbling in pitiful de-
cay, the home of GTeoge Eliot, where

not only from all parts of the city,
but from the surrounding country, to
see the old soldiers march. All the
streets were so crowded that it
seemed as if the circus had come
Comrade William DeSreese of Fond Gu
Lac was marshal. He had some
assistants. two of whom were young
ladies. and their horses, while the line
was being formed, pranced around as
if battle were close at hand. In
the meantime a hundred school chill
drsn dressed in red and white and
blue, so seated on the courthouse
steps as to represent living flag
were filing the air and stirring the
hearts OF the people with patriotic
music.
After considerable preliminary ado
the marching column was in motion.
First, there were half a dozen car
riages with officials of the Grand
Army, the Wcman's Relief Corps, the
Ladies of the G. A. r. and the
Daughters of the Revolution. Then
there came the Fond du Lac company
of the national guard to show us how
We looked when we went to war; and
after them company of veterans OF
the Spanish American war. These
were followed by detachment of
veteran cavalrymen on foot, the long
line of old men who fought the battles
of the union from 81 to '65, members
of the Relief Corps and Sons of Vet
Grams. There was music all along the
line, but that which the soldiers loved
best was the old fashioned fife and
drum. There is nothing like them TO
put life and energy into the spirit
and the heels.
The line of march extended along
the principal streets about mile ana
then back to the courthouse The
walks were packed with people, every
window was full of heads. and many
small boy perched himself on high
to see the procession pass. But the
most interesting feature of the occa-
sion was the part taken by the school
children They had been marched
from various school houses in the city
to assigned places along the streets,
and while the veterans passed them
they waved their flags In air and sang
patriotic songs. Every group of them
was pretty sight-enlivening 10 the
ear and pleasing to the eye. Their
music was fine. 1t could not have been
so good If the boys and girls had not
been trained to it. And their teacher
were there TO sing with them. A
blessed sight it was, those groups OF
our little citizens.
After the head OF column had got
the order to c9untermarch, and those
on the return were passing the yert
Grams still moving onward. there came
the old-time questions:
What regiment is that9" and the
answer:
Same old regiment, got new
clothes That's all"
How far is it to campo"

Paris were largely due to that part

Il might add continues the cap
tain, that the forestry people have
been very fond of citing the French
as people who had forested a great
deal of their country, but have not
noticed this as being referred to so
much since the Paris floods"
4. F. Halves. Vermont state for

movement because they believe that

gineers do not believe IN the forestry

and other engineers could be cited
who do not agree with Mr.. Pinchot.
7 Is difficult, however, to cite genv-
Inc authorities who do.
In conclusion, Captain Alstaetter
quotes further from Professor Moore:
IN every country the general tend

fields, and this tendency should not

bisb Cost Of Living in Carly Days

Now that state and federal au-
thorities are investigating the high
cost of living, legal steps are being
taken against soaring prices, and
