Away from Broadway" or to give 1t
Its first name. "Forty-hve Minutes
from Broadway" was the attraction
with which the Norton Musical Com
edy company made its initial bow in
Honolulu last night. The Orpheum
was packed. practically every seat In
the house being occupied, and the
new company got a aattering recep-
ton.
The musical comedy" company as
II Is billed was trife shy on music
for the opening night, and unfortun-
ately one member OF the chorus was
picked out by the audience as the
target for Its amusement. The result
was an uproar that upset the equili-
brium Of the entire evening and the
company did not score the success
which Its principals and the play it.
self deserved and will get before the
week Ia over. The combination of
an opening performance and a chorus
hardly up to requirements was hard
one to oppose, but the capable men,
bers Of the company accomplished a
seemingly impossible task in pulling
the evening through after the first
act had been anything but we'll re-
ceived.
This company numbers some very
clever people. The honors last night
were carried of by Harvey Norton.

part that nobody but Conan could

maturely wise exterior. ,Norton's me-

May 7, 1861-ArIngton Heights, the Home of Robert E.
Lee, Opposite Washington, Were Occupied by Virgnan
TroopS-TenneSSeS Militia ny Alliance

Fifty years ago today Arlington
Heights directly across the Potomac
river from Washington. were occupied
by a detachment Of Virginian troops
and for the first time since 1914 the
Federal capital was exposed to the fire
of an enemy's guns.
Guarded from capture as washington
now was by the presence of northern
troops, the close proximity of the Vir-
ginian forces and the knowledge that
from the heights of Arlington their can
non might batter the White House OF
even the capitol itself caused no slight
alarm to the city's inhabitants. civil and
military alike.
From the south widows of the White
House the virginian encampment with
it's Confederate flag could easily be
seen, and at one Of these windows Lin
coin was often OF be found standing
with gloomy face, looking through q
glass across the river.
HOME OF THE LEES.
Arlington was best known as the site
Of the home Of Robert E. Lee, now COM

wife had inherited the property from her
father, George washington Parke Gus

and the adopted son OF George Washing

The Custis estate comprised some zoe
acres, and on it was the Arlington
house, a fine old southern mansion
built by Mr. Custis in 1902.
For many years the mansion had been
an attraction to all visitors to Washing

sociations and of the Washington relics
collected and preserved there by Mr.
Custis.

TENNESSEE JOINS CoNFEDERACY.
Fifty years ago today also a military
alliance was concluded between the
Confederacy and the state OF Tennessee
The accession OF Tennessee was IN
large measure the work OF it's governor,
Isham @. Harris. who from the LIST
had sought to put his state sclldly IN
the ranks of secession
Calling a session Of the Legislature
early in january, he had in his message
urged the calling Of state convention
The Legislature had passed bill sub
hitting the question to a popular vote
together WIN a provision Illat any oroi-
nance of secession should require rati-
ficatisn by the people before taking eff
feet.
In February the vote had been taken
but the election for delegates had result
ed in a very heavy Union majority,
and a somewhat smaller majority declar-
ed against holding a convention at all
For the time, therefore, the accession
movement in Tennessee was stopped.
AS in the other border states, nowever
it revived with Lincoln's call for troops
::In such unhoiy crusade no gallant son
of Tennessee will ever draw his sword,
wrote Governor Harris, April 20 and
forthwith he proceeded TO prepare to
Join the Confederacy.
The legislature, which he called again,
had a majority OF secessionists In both
houses, and May 1 they passed joint
resolution directing the governss rs en-
ter into a military league with tha au-
thorities of the Confederate States"
In spite OF governor and Legislators,
the state was by no means q unit for
joining the Confederacy. In eastern Ten
nessee Union sentiment, II not FREEDOM
mating, was widely diffused, and even IN
Nashville there were many who wished
to continue in the Union.

upon which he died."
Arlington house was surrounded by
groves Of stately trees, except in front,
where the Hill descended to a lovely
valley spreading away to me river. The
view from the height showed Wash
ington, Georgetown and long stretch
Of the Potomac in the foreground. with
wooded hills and valleys making a back
ground of dark foliage.
1t was here that Robert E Lee, a
young West Point cadet, had courted
pretty Mary Custis. Here he had mar
ried her, here he had made his home
during service at Washington, or when
furloughs had enabled him to return
from distant posts, and here had been
born their seven children.
IMPORTANCE OF SITE.
When in April Lee had been obliged to
decide whether he would go with the
union or with his state the thought of
leaving the old home had served more
than any other one thing to make the
choice a hard one. For, able officer as
he was, he really saw that the site Of
Arlington house made it's occupation es-
sential to the federal forces II they would
hold Washington, or to the Confeder-
ates IL they would capture it, so that in
any case it was likely to be the scene Of
military operations.
From Richmond General Lee had writ
ten April 80 to his wife, who still re-
manned at Arlington. warning her that
peaceful conditions were not likely to
continue. IT think, therefore," he adj
vised. "you had better prepare all things
for removal from Arlington-that is,
plate. pictures, ETC.. and be prepared at
any moment"
Somewhat later he had repeated the
warming ST was very anxious about
you," he wrote. You have to move
and make arrangements to go to some
point of safety. The Mt Vernon plate
and pictures ought to be secured. War
is inevitable. and there is no telling when
1t will burst around you"
COLONEL MANSFIEDD'S REPORT
The Importance OF occupying and hold
ing the heights of Arlington had, indeed
already been appreciated by the federal
commanders.
On May general conference had been
held on the defence of washington. and
on the following day Col. Joseph X. F.
Mansfield, who on April q had taken
command of the military department OF
Washington, had presented to General
Scott a report which read. in part:
I'VE now come to the city of George
town and arsenal. exposed to the vir-

ginia shore. Here I must remark that
the presidents house and department
buildings in its vicinity are but two and
half miles across the river from Ar
lington high ground. where battery OF
bombs and heavy guns, IL established,
could destroy the city with comparative
" a small force after destroying the
bridges.
1.-THE capitol is only three and a half
miles from the same height at Arlington,
and at the aqueduct the SUBMITS Of the
heights on the opposite shore are not
over one mile from Georgetown.
with this view of the condition Of
our position it is clear to my mind that
the city is liable to be bombarded at
the will of the enemy, unless we occupy
the ground which he certainly would oc-
cupy If he had any such intention.
II. therefore recommend that the
heights above mentioned be seized and
secured by at east two strong redoubts,
one commanding the Long bridge and
the other the aqueduct, and that body
of men be there encamped TO sustain
the redoubts and give battle to the enc
my if necessary.
IT have engineers maturing plans and
accommodating further. II is quite prob
able that our troops, assembled at Ar
Iington, would create much excitement
in Virginia: yet at the same time If
the enemy were to occupy the ground
there a greater excitement would take
place on our side and 1t might be neces-
sary to fight a battle to disadvantage.
CONTEMPORARIES IN POSSESSION
The arguments address by Colonel
Mansfield for taking the heights were
convincing and General Scott was con-
WINGED by them, yet for some reason no
action was taken, and the Virginians
occupied the ground unopposed.
The greater excitement" which the
colonel had foreseen quickly followed
the appearance OF the Confederate flag
on the heights. THE alarmists," wrote
an officer in a New York regiment,
threatened US daily with thunder and
bursting bombs" while in the south the
movement was hailed as the first step
toward the capture Of Washington.
In reality, however. the citizens of
Washington had no cause for fear. The
Confederate force was small and unsup-
piled with heavy cannon, If with any.
Moreover, Virginia still held to its pol
icy of nonaggression, and its leaders
had no mind to lombard Washington In
spite of its garrison.
THE capital" declared Brigadier Gen.
era1 Cooke, commanding the Potomac
department, in his proclamation Of May
5, has never been threatened; 1T Is not
now threatened. 1t is beyond and out
side the limits of the free and sover-
