FINDS OLD QUARTER AND
THEN LOSES IT, PAYING
CARFARE UNTHINKiNGLI

Antoine Oliveira of the Star-Bulle-
tin mechanical department is playing
in hard luck. A, few days ago he
found a quarter of the date of 1858
dug It up like buried treasure, under
his house--and carried 1t around FOR
q good luck piece. But the old quar-
ter must be a ink for oliveira passed
it to conductor for carfare in an IN
thinking moment and is now trying
to get It back.
He gave it to a conductor on the
King street line Sunday evening be-
tween 9:45 and $50 o'clock, near
Kawaiahao switch. This is as close
as he can come to identifying the con-
ductor who got the old coin and Oil
yeira hopes that the carman will read
this little article and help him get
back the quarter. Oliveira will re-
ward the man who puts him in pos
session of the luck piece and says that
after this he will never put it in his
carfare pocket.

feature ACTS
Make BIG HIT

Trifles such as dancing a war
dance" on broken glass fail to bother
the Filipino quartet of tumblers and
all-round athletes now performing at
the Btjou theater as a part of the pro-
gram of vaudeville and pictures. This
novelty has been, but recently intro
duced by these performers and it is
creating not a little of a sensation.
OF course, the big feature Of the
vaudeville program continues to be
the Flying Mayos in an aerial act that
is far and away ahead Of anything
ever seen in Honolulu and in a class
that has but few equals on the main
land "big time" This team is ire
quently given the feature billing on
the large mainland circuits, which is
considerable Of a novelty for an aerial
act.
Miss kdeline Aflague is adding
largely to the evening of entertain
ment at the Bijou by clever song and
dance. She Is Interpreting number
Of down-to-the-minute songs and is
making considerable of a hit.
Then there Is feature picture fill
ing out bill of more than ordinary
merit and one that deserves packed
houses at every performance, particu-
larry so as there is no advance in
prices for this mammoth, program.

VIVIAN MARTIN
SCORES SUCCESS

Vivian Martin, supported BY Tho
mas Holding and cast Of Pallas fea-
ture players, again scores a success at
the Liberty theater in The Wax
Model" a serio-comic tale Of a French
model in England, who is almost
starved for love Both the gay and
the eVer-present serious side Of the
life Of an artists model are graph
cally depicted in this offering and
Miss Martin is once more seen to ex-
cellent advantage.
Julie Davenant is the most popular
model in all Of London and poses for
wax figure with which an English
man falls in love. He seeks out the
original and Immediately proceeds to
fall in love with her. However, he
fails to understand the gay Bohemian
life that she has grown used to In her
own Gay Paree" and turns against
her. She, however, is most seriously
in love with the man in the case and
makes every effort to explain to him
her notes all being returned unopen-
ed.
How the model saves the sister of
her lover from the clutches of mar
ried man; how her love leads her to
abandon her profession and live life
of poverty and how the tangled
threads are eventually unraveled and
she is restored to the man she loves
are just few Of the gripping features
Of an excellent photoplay.

ed the military needs Of the islands,

National Guard, and added that II the
time comes for Hawaiians to be called
to service they will do their part
proudly and well. The question OF
food was the vital one, however, and
Hawaii, with its sugar and rice, was
feeding many on the mainland. Even
children were busy with school gar
dens and had had wonderful success.

times is the main object Of the Ha'

Grain Review

Chicago, April 2.-Failure Of expect
ed general rains in the west and south
west led to active buying Of wheat to-
day, and did a good deal to bring about
a sharp advance in prices. Bullish crop
estimates tended also to lift the mar
ket. one authority declaring the condi-
ton Of winter wheat as a whole to be
Ill as against ten year average Of 81.
The bears were further handicapped by
the prospects of vigorous war measures
likely to facilitate rain shipments to
Europe. Opening quotations which
ranged from the same as Saturdays
finish to 1Ac higher. were followed by
decided upturns all around.
New top figures $1.99h, were reach
ed by May wheat as a result Of demand
from cash houses and those with east
ern connections. At Omaha 81 was paid.
The close was strong * to 4&c net
higher. with May at S1.99% to $l.S9A
and July at sl.67% to $1.67H.
Absence of selling pressure allowed
corn to ascend to a new high price rec
ord for the season. Leading houses
wore conspicuous purchasers. After
opening unchanged to Nc higher the
market scored a big general advance.
Smallness of receipts had a bullish
influence and No. 2 yellow in the SAM
pie market sold as high as $1.25
bushel, The close was strong to SIC to
4%c net advance.
Oats developed strength with other
cereals. Commission firms were nearly
all on the buying side.

in grain values. At first, the market re-
