CRIMINAL NEGLECT
Of SKIN AND HAIR

Cuticura soap and ointment do so much
for poor complexions red, rough hands,
and dry, thin and falling hair, and cost so
little that it is almost criminal not to use
them. Think of the suffering entailed by
neglected skin troubles mental because
of designation - physical because of pain.
Think Of the pleasure OF clear skin, soft
white hands and good hair. These bless
ings are often only a matter of little
thoughtful, timely care, viz. warm baths
with Cuticura soap, assisted when neces-
sary by anointings with Cuticura ointment.

LITTLE INTERVIEWS
WALT MASON.

EDITOR NORRIE-British naval
officers do not understand why the
American naval station was located at
Pearl Harbor. Years ago, when the
British thought of securing naval
station here from King Kalakaua,
they chose Koolau as the proper place
for it. During those days the British
government came near to acquiring a
station.
VIM. B. LYMER-I am glad the rain
came and washed away the impression
created by the Sheffield choir. l was
never so bored with a choir before;
only three of the numbers were
worth listening to. Many years ago
heard the London Jubilee singers
and the memory of their singing will
always be pleasant, but the Sheffield
Choir was very disappointing. Even
making allowances, it was disgraceful
and l hope the papers will tell the
truth about it.
w. H. HOOGS-The only way to
get the road round Oahu put in shape
is to get "Wallingford' Rice or some
other famous chauffeur to take the
supervisors over the road in his auto
and at his favorite speed. Before they
had gone half way some of them would
want to walk back and it is safe to
say that they would not make the trip
again until the present awful condition
of the road had been fixed. The sup
ervisors go over the road occasionally,
as it is, but they crawl through the
sloughs and over the hummocks and
fail to get really acquainted with the
rare and varied peculiarities of the
road.
T. RICE-Do you recall old man
Spencer who was character in Ho-
nolulu? He lived on one of the other
ielands and always came to this city,
in full evening dress, save for a pair
Of carpet slippers. The Fourth fell
On Sunday once and he was told by
a joker that they were celebrating
it at Fort street church. He went
right up and took a front seat while
the minister was making the usual
prayer. Spencer was deaf but he
thought the minister looked patriot
and as soon as the prayer was over
lie jumped to his feet and called for
three cheers.

Sheffield Choir

Yesterday afternoon a large and
fashionable audience assembled in the
Hawaiian Opera House to welcome the
opening number of the Sheffield Choir,
which under the direction of DR.. Chas.
Harriss and the leadership of DR.. Hen.
ry Coward is touring the world.
The trivial delays attendant upon
the late arrival of the Zealandia caus.
ed some excitement among those who
had bought their tickets for the after.
noon performance but the curtain rose
amid a round of enthusiastic welcome
to the choristers.
They rose tier upon tier on the
stage, and in spite of their numbers,
perfect system and order prevailed.
To launch upon description of the
merits of the Sheffield Choir were
very like painting the lily" 1t has
been heralded from every corner of
the globe, and it's praise has spread
equally with the expansion of it's
aims.
The press notices of these famous
singers from every city where they
have opened engagements, reflect
naught but glory on them, and Homo
lulu audiences were fortunate indeed
to be given such an exceptional oppor-
tunity.
The sololsts of the afternoon were
Lady Norah Noel, Miss Maud Wildly,
Mr.. Wilfrid Virgo and Mr.. Robert
Chignell. Lady Norah Noel substi-
tuted Roundelay for her first num-
Der "Vai che Sapete," and was we'll
received, her graceful charm adding
not little to her success.
Miss Wildly seemed a Honolulu fav-
orite, and was recalled several times.
Her voice, almost lyric in its bird
like allurements, is singularly flexible
and dainty and her songs are we'll Sc
lected for it's coquetry.
Mr.. Virgo's purity of tone, depth OF
feeling, and aptitude of expression
were accorded a warm response, and
Mr.. Chignell, in his attractive pres.
ence, and his dramatic bass voice re-
verberating in it's melodies depths
won many friends, who would welcome
him again to Honolulu.
Perhaps the most remarkable figure
on the stage was that very modest
one of DR.. Henry Coward, man so
unconscious of his miraculous power
of concentration that he almost shrank
from his enforced publicity. His two
hundred voices seemed magnetized by
the tip of his baton, which wrung
from them inspiration! To it's easiest
sway they responded, soaring and
sinking in upheavals and subsistence
of melody. From the merest musical

whisper it inspired dramatic fire, and
was hushed instantly by echoes I'm
the reeds"
Never before was "The Bells of st.
Miohaers Tower" rendered with such
realistic eccentricities. The pulling of
the bell-rope, the metallic resonance
of the bell, reverberating till its lying
echoes faded away, was novel con-
ception and practically took the house
by storm.
The audience attending the evening
performance filed every seat in the
theater, and responded heartily to
every number
The soloists we're Miss Gertrude
Londsale, Miss Jennie Taggart, Mr.
Robert Charlesworth and Mr.. Henry
Turnpenny.
Miss Lonsdale's rich contralto, pow.
erful yet delicate with it's sensitive
vibrato, the artists magnetic charm
and winsomness gained for her many
admirers, and Miss Taggart was a
favorite, with her lyric soprano rendi-
tions. Mr. Turnpenny, tenor and Mr..
Charlesworth, bass, were heard to adj
vantage in appropriate solo work.
A request having been presented to
Handeps Messiah, the latter half Of
the evening program was substituted
by this magnificent oratorio, which
was followed by aloha Oe."
1t was a fitting farewell from DR..
