sought admission on Saturday night
and the ticket office was the scene
of a lot of excitement on the night
| in question. The cause of the large
turnout at Honolulu's favorite thea
ter was the return engagement of
the Hughes Musical Comedy Co.
"The Spectators" the play select
ed for the opening night, is a farce
comedy full of action and vim and
replete with musical interruptions.
The minute the curtain arose on the
first act it was noticeable that the
company had improved considerably
since it was here last. The chorus
was all to the good in its dancing,
the comedians were rich in their
| funny sayings. Madame Lloyd, the
leading lady, was a tower Of strength
to the company both in her acting
and singing. Her singing was on
| a par of what is usually heard in the
opera house and it rarely happens
that a musical comedy company car
ries such a powerful singer. In her
songs which included kiss Me" "l
! Bacio," "Amina Mine" and "The Last
Rose of Summer" she was heartily
, applauded and had to respond to an
encore in each case.
The Nursery rhymes by Messrs
Stanhope, lie Blanc and Lyston made
one of the hits Of the evening and
merited six encores and as the He
brew comedian said What's the Use
of Coming Out, We Don't Know Any
More"
Another very good number was

Japan's progress in wireless teleg-

ELEcTRIcs IN THE
U. S. MAIL SERVlc

U. >. MAIL SEhNICE-
Those concerned in the delivery of
United States mail are coming more
and more to appreciate the advantages
of the electric wagon for mail service.
Recently an order was placed for nine
electric mail wagons for use in st.
Louis.
Seven of these were completed the
other day and lined up at the rear of
the postofIice in indianapolis to be
photographed. These were each OF
1000 pounds capacity; but the other
two will carry $500 pounds each.
The entire nine cars will carry 300.
600 pieces of mail at a single haul.
Each car will carry it's full load
a distance of fifty miles without re
charging, but, of course, such a ser
vice as this is not what is required
of a small wagon.
What is most essential is the abili
ty to make frequent short stops, and
then to start up again without crank
ing or other tedious preliminaries
This is where the electric has its
greatest ADVANTAGE point that is
coming to be appreciated more and
more.

will sing the Houn' Dawg song and
may have her old friend Absalom

that owners of teams and vehicles
who received reply postcards from his

on Cleanup Day, attend to this at

their property gratis, the committee
is prepared to hire the same, but it is

over the question Of admitting ne

resolutions state that the negro

the negro from politics is best for
the negro himself. and alleviates the

We had a wave of politics
That swept the country clean
Most every body ran for office
And all seemed very keen
They'd meet you with a smile
Sometimes twas in a crowd
They'd instruct you who to vote for
And tell it plain and loud
Some were young men inexperienced
But made a forward step,
Who wanted to get in office
So they could build a rep.
Politics we're raging some,
From Precinct up to State
Everybody rustled votes
For they were scared about the fate
The fatal day was the 27th
A hot time in July
Some ran so hard they soon gave out
But didn't get the pie.
The primary now is over
And all will get a rest
There is a consolation
That each man did his best
o.. Cd. s@ - Gag
We congratulate the victors
Who won this awful fight
And sympathize with the losers,
For they ran with all their might
We say to those who we're defeated
To not worry about their fate,
They may hold a higher office
That will be honor TO the State
Let those who were elected
! Perform their duty we'll
And they'll get support Of others
