THE GAYETY.
'svanIty Fair"

This week ushers in the two-act farce
at the Gayety entitled, Suffering Suftra-
settes," which is the vehicle for plenty
OF comedy work and catchy songs. The
show was a hit from the start, and a
large audience went away pleased at the
evenings entertainment.
Pat white and Bob Van Osten furnished
the comedy, their roles being that OF es-
capped convicts who pass themselves on
as members OF the nobility. Both White
and Van Osten have a humor that is en-
tireIy original The cast is not large, but
what there is OF It Is SUFFICIENT. Among
the women are Helen Newhouse andCelia
Armstrong, both very dainty young
misses, whose work was a pleasure to
witness. Rose Stevens was good as the
leader OF the sUffragettes. Mrs. L. r. A.
Ringmont. James NJ. Bowman, as the
head Of the United States Aviation Corps,
was excellent in his part.
The olio was the very best, starting on
with the four Armstrong;, who gave a
good bicycle act. which was followed by
the Bowman brothers, in black face.
These two boys have a very entertaining
act and deserved all the applause they
received. Then Pat White, with a few
absurdities, entertained a few minutes to
the merriment of his audience.

MAN,WITH BROKEN NECK
STANDS AND MAY WALK
"Gee, It's Great He Says, At
ter He Performs His
Stunt"

NEW YORK, N. ", June 24.-For
| the first time since he was injured
Waldorf Miller, who broke his neck
on the night of July 8, 1911, is able to
stand on his feet. Untilsyesterday he
was believed to be helpless, bht Miller
never lost hope, and his strong faith
that he would recover has been one of
the causes. of his improvement.
He was sitting in an invafid's chair
under tree at his home, 131 Clinton
avenue, New Rochelle, talking with
some of his friends yesterday, telling
them he could lift his legs on the
chair and sit up, and did 1T for them.
One of his friends asked him IL he
could stand. Although he had not at
tempted it before, he answered: Sure
i can. Just watch mel He put his
feet ON the ground and stood up for a
few seconds, then fell back on his
chair.
He was as much astonished as his
friends were, and called to hrs mother
to come out and see him stand. And
he stood up again for nearly half a
minute, supported by her and his un-
Gle, Edward j Cordial. Then his
mother tucked him in the chair again,
and forbade him to try any more
stunts.

Mr. Mead stated that the Board had

Gives Reasons for Assertion
After Passing on Examina-
ton Papers

Chinese are our best students and
have shown the most satisfactory re
suits in our public schools" declares
School Inspector Gibson who has been
occupied for the past, two days in go
ing over high school entrance exami-
nation papers sent him from all parts
of the Territory.
These examinations are the work OF
pupils of the eighth grade DESTROYS OF
entering the high-school in September
and include the efforts of every NJ
tionality represented in the Territorial
Public School System.
1t was while going over these papers
that Inspector Gibson made the above
comment and discussed his reasons for
the believing that the Chinese make
the best students.
Ke ps at Task.
"One thing that makes the Chinese
pupil excel is his quality of keeping at
a task until he has sumonnted all the
difficulties" he said. There is a
thoroughness and an earnestness in
the fellow students not of his race,
and get better results.
There is no limit to the ambition
of the Chinese student. When he has
once acquired taste of learning he
thirsts for more and will work at any
thing in order to procure money to
allow him to continue his studies.
When he has finished his element.

them for an expression of opinion as
to the desirability of Russian immi-
grants as plantation labofers.
A motion carried directing the sec
rotary to cable to Dr. Clark, who is
now at. Kobe, Japan, to complete his
Investigations in Manchuria, to close
up any outstanding business that may
exist there, arising out of the previous
contract between the department and
the international immigration and
Colonization Association, and then re-
turn as soon, as, possible, to Honolulu.
- Consideration was next giyenlby the
Board, to a letter from Richard L. Hal
|sey. inspector in charge of the Federal
Immigrant Station, requesting the
payment of bills of H. Kishi for feed
ing immigrants at Quarantine Island
who arrived I'M the steamer Willesden.
On motiod the matter was referred to
the Attorney General with a unani-
nous expression of opinion that the
Board was sstill convinced that it was
not responsible for the expense.
$ rThes bills amount to about $4,000,
and it came out in the discussion that
the claim arose from blunder COM
mitted by DR.. Ramus, the late chief
quarantine officer here, in making a
requisition to Washington for $4,000
instead of $4,000 for subsistence Of
the immigrants while in charge of the
Federal authorities.
Secretary Kearns brought up
matter of some misunderstanding rel
alive to the financing of the market
ing division. and it was voted that Mr..
Starrett DE requested to submit
monthly reports to the Board and that
the secretary arrange the financial af-
fairs of the division to comply with
the requirements of the Audit Act.
