GREAT RAYMOND
IS real WIZARD
Mystery and Comedy in Open
ing Program at Ye
Liberty
The Great Raymond is -grea.

Inc GFedL Raymond slS---BT02-.
He opened his ten nights local en-
gagement before crowd that JAM
med the big Liberty t.seatre and over
flowed in festoons OF small boys
perched precariously around the walls
like fies. This big house got an even
ing full Of wonder AMI amusement,
for the Great Raymond mixes comedy
and wizardry as easy as a song and
dance.
Raymond is not only an exceedingly
expert sleight-of-hand man. which
any stage wizard has to be, but he
has the ability to work ON the psy-
chology of big audience as well as
its humor and credulity. In stage
illusian he is the best ever seen here,
If testimony of Old-timerS last night
is to be believed.
With it all, he has a "big show"
He carries many complete changes of
stage settings and as much parapher-
MALTA as circus The people who
work with him change costumes
every minute or so. while Raymond
simply rolls up the sleeves of his
evening coat. so that he has no cuffs
to deceive, and begins to make things
appear and disappear, and to puzzle
or tickle the audience alternately.
He works rapidly, cleanly,s neatly,
and there's something doing all The
time. Last night the show was d.
v,ded into three sections, with two
ten-minute intermissions, and every
ore of the sections ended with an
extraordinary piece of magic of some
End.
The trunk mystery mas been seen
here before, but Raymond SHOWS a
new angle on it. He handouts a
young lady assistant, envelopes her
in a sack. ties up the sack and seals
it. puts the girl in trunk, locks the
trunk, utters few lamentations and
presently, from within the curtained
cabinet, something happens Nobody
knows ust what, but out comes the
girl, and when the trunk is opened,
inside is Raymond, tied up in the sack
and with the handouts en- his wrists.
All this in full view of the audience
and with committee of daring citi-
zens to go right up on the stage and
look the proceedings over.
OF course the trick has been ex-
planned and explained. on the ground
of concealed seams in the sack and
a trunk that opens somewhere and
lets the people slip in and cut But
last night Raymond was in ard out
so fast that all the committee con-
fessed themselves puzzled.
His Noah's ark is a worder in its

While the average man may not
take the local women's club of which
his wife is a member any more seri-
ously than TO protest mildly when
there is clash in domestic arrange
ments, a convention of the Federation
of Women's Clubs is an event of deep
IMPORT to every citizen who would
keep abreast of the most pronounced
movement of recent years. In the So
Geological sense this is woman's age.
The woman political and social is
here, means to stay and must be reck-
oned with.
Time was when the comic journal
pictured women's meetings as terror
lied by the advent of a mouse and de-
moralized by the appearance of a
member in garment announced as a
trophy from a bargain sale.
The sex has changed all that. A
mouse has still its terrors and a bar
gain sale its magnetic attraction, but
in convention assembled women are
as businesslike and parliamentary as
men-more sotshan many men in po-
liticaI conventions.
For proof OF the sex's adaptation to
the demands of public deliberative as
semblies' we only need turn to the
proceedings of the Council of the
General Federation of Women's Clubs
now being held in this city. However
random the various discussions may
become in the main convention, the Of
flcers chosen for executive and advis-
DRY duties display a keen sense Of es-
sentials and time values. The speech

HONOLULU WOMEN INTERESTED
NBIG NATIONAL CONVENTION

Rivals Friendly.
Two of the candidates for the pres
idency occupied opposite suites in
the Palace Hotel and though each
of the ladies. Mrs Carpenter and Mrs.
Pennybacker, was working hard for
the honor, they were both friendly
and when Mrs. Pennybacker was
elected Mrs. Carpenter was the first
woman to embrace her
After the most important business
OF the convention was completed
special trains carried the delegates
and their friends to all the interesting
places in California and at each place
the women were warmly greeted and
entertained. Disappointment was ex-
pressed by some of the members be-
cause no definite action was taken in
the matter of woman.s suffrage, as
many of the members of the Fedora
ton are active suffragettes, but the
time for so decided step, evidently
lad not arrived.
Splendid Work.
Almost every subject that comes
under the observation OF the Woman's
Clubs of America was taken up dur
ing the convention and Mrs. Philips
N. Moore, the retiring president in
her farewell address spoke Of the
splendid work that has been done by
the women during the past two years.
Mrs. Percy Pennybacker, the new
President. has for years been most
active in the Federation, and, say
those who know, is most capable OF
filling the position she now holds. She
has a great many staunch friends both
in Texas, her own State, and in the
other places where her work is well
known.
The festivities of the convention
were somewhat dampened by the
death of Mrs. Sarah Platt Decker of
Colorado, who passed away before
the biennial tea came to close.

Two Visitors at San Francisco
Meeting Come On to
Hawaii

Though somewhat removed from
the scene of activity, much interest
has been shown by the women I'm Ho-

Federation of Women's Clubs in
America, as not few OF them are
members OF the Federation. Recent
ly two ladies, Miss Eggleston and
Miss Alice Sloan, the litter sister of

They attended several of the fune-
tons given for the delegates and
some of the stories they have told
are to say the least interesting.
These. ladies are from Cleveland,
Ohio, and although they were not del
egates, they came from Cleveland ID

comprised of ten COACHES. The trip
was most interesting for little side

refused them, and a photographer sta
toned at another point took snap
shots of them, and much was their
surprise when next morning their own
faces smiled at them from the pa
pers. During the two weeks Of the
convention, business was interspersed
with pleasure. Receptions were held
by the club women of California who
were hostesses and by individuals.
Light musical and dancing acts would

and served as a bit of diversion for
those who were to read reports as

COT Alaska
CHAPTER FIRST

NhAfl I'M
1t was one long, long distance
from Alaska that the scribbler, who
donates these few remarks, first
was made acquainted with the game
of Solo. In fact, it was on
Union Pacific Sleeper near Chi
cago where the strange game was
brought into range of his optics.
Two Signal Corps men. who, had
friends in the army that had seen
service in Alaska, first preached
the important subject as 4 pros
pective pastime and a Canadian
Pacific Land Agent consented to
Join them in the game. a crib
board was forthwith produced and
each man was given 100 points by
the Land Agent, fact that looked
very generous from the Chechaco 5
view, but which afterwards proved
the long-headedness of the Agent
who was familiar with the game,
for he soon had them all to his own
credit. After the pegs in the crib
board had been satisfactorily lined
up the Agent dealt the cards, each
player getting his share, and three
cards were layed in the middle and
and designated as the widow
probably from the very uncertain

it might contain if annexed by a
player. The first man wisely pas
se1 but the second, not being 50
discreet or with a come-ea5y GO
easy regard for his credit on the
crib board, said he would frog, "
Wholly in accord with the che
chaco's view, that to Frog" was
enough for any sane man, or, per-
haps from previous and disastrous
conclusions with the widow" the
Agent consented that the frog act
he played and the face of the frog
ger displayed his sentiments on
the varied characteristics of the
widow" as one by one he picked
up the cards.
After describing cards, the play
began but as the observing che.
chaco was only educated in paste
board manipulation to the seven-up
degree. the deep and sagacious
plays of the Agent and the unfor-
giyable blunders of the frogger and
passer were made without his full
understanding When all the
cards had been played, and counted
by the Agent, the pegs in the crib
board were found in poor positions
and after location had been adjust
ed, the cards were again delt.

mean-well, he did not like to think
beyond this point
What do you want us to do?" he
asked, eagerly. Tommy loved to do
anything for Miss White, and he was
almost always able to find ways in
which to please her.
''It is no use to say. I suppose the
men in the village would never turn
out to clear the yard up, and the
school board hasn't any money"
"Ill ask father" said Tommy, hope
fully.
Miss White thought no more about
the conversation that week because
there were examination papers to cor
rect, and she had to go home from
Friday night to Monday morning.
Monday was Arbor day, and she did
wish it were possible to get tree
for the yard; but there had been so
much to do she had not planned a
celebration.
When the clock hands pointed to
half past eight Monday morning she
started for school, and as she came
up the hill she saw the children gath
cred in group about the door.
She wondered what they were all
carrying, and when she was nearer
she saw that each one held tree,
plant or shrub. To her adjustment,
the yard had been thoroughly cleaned
up.
The rocks were all heaped in pile
and soil spread over them to form a
''rockery." The walk had been nicely
trimmed, and two square flower beds
were made on each side. The children
were all ready with spades and
trowels to do the planting.
AS she came up the walk they be-
gan to sing little Arbor day song
they had learned the year before.
II don't believe we are going to
have any lessons this morning." she
laughed, as she greeted them. eve

Then Tommy came forward and
told how his father had asked all the
men to come and work on Saturday.
when she was away, and how each
one had begged plant or young tree
to beautify the yard.

barren, didn't it, Tommy" said Miss
White Nov can anyone spell CRATE

just what she meant.

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
TOM MY TODD,

It happened because. Tommy Todd
could not spell barren" He was
sure that it was bearon; but when the
teacher, Miss White, shook her head
and smiled encouragingly, he changed
his mind, and thought it might be
bare-un. Then he tried several other
ways, and at last sat down. Of course,
he had to stay after school, and when
he had written the word seven times
on his slate, shut the windows for
the teacher and helped her lock the
door, they came down the walk to-
gether. He was sorry he could not
spell all the words every day, but it
was rather nice to hear Miss White
tell him what he ought to do to be-
come better scholar.
When they were half way down the
walk, Miss White said, Il wonder if
you know what barren means,
Tommy"
Il guess it means bearing down
heavy on something" said Tommy,
shyly.

means this schoolyard. Look at it,"
Tommy looked about, and noticed
for the first time that it was not
beautiful. There were no trees and
not a flower bed, and all about the
door were little rocks and bits of
wood, sticks or decaying fence rails.
I'm the dictionary barren means
unDrolific unfruitfuI hut it means inst
the thing that this yard is-desolate /"
Miss White looked about sorrowfully.
"It is enough to make one home
sick!"
Tommy felt very sad when he heard
this, because he knew if Miss White
were homesick she would be likely to
go back to the city, and that would

mouth, but his throat seemed to

-Four o'clock-it's time for the car"
Harry braced himself and looked up
the street. The car wasn't in sight
Perhaps it's going to be little bit

Another minute and the car turned
the corner and came humping down
the street.
Now-now-there wasn't a minute

harder.
"Mother!" he spluttered. But she
didn't hear him; there was too much
noise in the street. She stepped out
