a high order and so profound a knowledge of the stage.
 MT. Winter became famous as dramatic critic of the New York Tri- bune, a position he held for many years. He was familiar through per- sonal experience with practically the entire history of the American stage and his acquaintance with stage folk extended from the days of Edwin Booth, of whom he was an intimate friend and co-worker, down to the present. MT. Winters comments on plays and players were characterized by a brilliant style and an unusual clarity of vision. Many of these ar ticles were masterpieces of prose writing.
 In addition to his long service to the press, which he continued until his health failed him, MT. Winter was a prolific contributor to magazines and wrote a number of books, both in poetry and prose. He composed verses of great beauty and his "reminiscences of stage celebrities are unsurpassed. Having travelled much abroad, MT. Winter wrote with rare charm of England and Shakespeare's country. During his long and busy lifetime he was signally honored by theatrical people and the American public.

Eayorite of Nicholas
 Sues for Damages

Sues tor Damages
 TTHESE are parlous times for royal 0 favorites, particularly those fair and frail creatures who are the butterflies of court life and with the aid of crowned head win factitious fame on the stage.
 For instance, there is Mile. Kshes- inska, dancer and favorite of former Czar Nicholas, who fled from her magnificent palace in Petrograd, a gift of Nicholas, when the storms of revolution broke. Screwing her cour- age to the sticking point, Mile. Kshesinska returned to the capital and started proceedings to recover her property. She has brought suit against the provisional government for $1,000,000 because of it's failure to eject from her palace followers of Nikolai Lenine, radical socialist lead CT, who have made the palace their headquarters. The military authori- ties refused to send troops to evict the socialists. The provisional govern ment had decreed that the dancers property must be restored to her.
 Mile. Kshesinska also complained that furs valued at 227,00O rubles had been stolen from her. There is grim irony in the thought that these expensive garments may now be pos sessed by women of the proletariat whom Kshesinska in the "good old dayss would have spurned with her dainty foot.
 According to the backstairs gossip of the court, there was pretty bat tle between the former Czarina and the dancer for first place in the Is sCzar's affections. The Czarina, it is
 i'd, finally triumphed, but it is sig l4lficant that the dancer was not dis placed until she had reached a mature age. Never great beauty, she is now getting on in years and for obvious reasons is all the more desirous of re- taining the wealth lavished on her by Nicholas.

Remarkable Record by Negro

Sol Caneen says the IOllOWlng Item taken from the New York World of a recent date is one of the most remarkable things that has ever come under his notice It is no doubt the first instance of its kind on record:
 'Reufus Lewis Perry, negro lawyer, ot No. 375 Fulton street. Brooklyn, has just been elected to membership in the Societe Academique d'Historie Internationale. He won the distinction with treatises written in French on The Positive Science, Man According to Science and the Tal- mud, and The Actual Situation in Hayti. He receives, in addition to his diploma, a gold medal
 Perry was graduated from the New York university law school the only stu dent who ever passed with his examina- ton papers written entirely in Latin. In 1912 he embraced the Jewish faith.'
 DYNAMITE JOHNNY" O'BRIEN
 From the Philadelphia Injquirer. If dynamite Johnny had been born 300 years earlier he would or could have left reputation as corsair CT pirate unequaled by none. In ancient or modern times there does not seem to have been such another daredevil of the <seas who knew no fear and whq risked much. but always with a consci- ousness that he had resources which might pull him throufh.
 Some years ago O'Brien gave his mem oirs to the public in 8 book of sing ular interest A blockade runner during the Civil war, he was used to danger
 and the proposal to carry cargoes to the Cubans enlisted his heart as well as his
 specimen of the fighting Irishman who goes into a struggle without caring for pecuniary consequences. It was an un- 1 fortunate fact that O'Brien lost practi- cally all of his accumulations in help- ing the< Cubans. but he was of that type of manhood which sees a thing through without consulting his pocket book.
 The Cuban leaders all admitted that 1 Dynamite Johnny" was really the great est of their benefactors, but they gave him few rewards--a small post in the :; harbor of Havana and meagre salary but the old man never regretted his risks nor his sacrifices.
 | It would take the genius of Byron to
 illuminate the career of man who went
 through more perils than almost any man of his time, who dared danger on sea, and on land and died peacefully

Mothers Day

SO many ways to think of her,
Whose thought has led us through
the years
And kept our every word from guile
With silent prayer and need of
tears.
So many aching hearts that reach
And feel across starIess night
For still voice that used to soothe,
For still vanished hand of white.
So many jewels in the shrine,
Where memory plants its heart of
hearts,
And quaffs its sweetly favored wine,
In every loving thought that starts.
A radiant star of motherhood,
That shone Ger sweet Madonna's
smile;
Lead US across the fields of youth
Give US the songs she sang the
while.

.WAIKlkI LOOKED LIKE i.
BEAN SOUP ON SUNDAY

Tourists who had come thousands
OF miles to see Honolulu's far-famed
Waikiki had an opportunity to look
upon 1t Sunday when 1t was the color
of thick brown bean soup and about
as pleasant to swim in. There was
plenty of nourishmert in the water,
but not for human beings It would
have made excellent garden fortified.
The water was dark brown for nearly
half mile out. :
The diseoloration of the usually
clear water along the beach at that
point was caused by the floods of muddy
water which Friday and Saturday
poured into the sea from Manoa
stream, which empties into the ocean
between the Outrigger Canoe Club
and the Moana. It was still flowing
in and was very much coffee-colored
Sunday afternoon at sunset
At the Halekulani and further Eva
along the beach, at Fort De Russy
and the Pierpoint, the water was fine
and clear, because no stream flows
into the sea at or near those points.
Completion of the Waikiki reclama.
ton project would divert the flow OF
Manoa stream now emptying at the
Outrigger and cause it to meet the
sea at point where there is no
bathing, thus freeing Waikiki Of the
present pollution after each heavy
rain. ! +. . ~ ~

OPINION
upon LIABILITY

In reply TO a request from the indus
trial accident board asking for The
status Under the Workmen's Compen-
sation Act OF an eInploye doing work
for several employers, William T. Car
den, deputy city attorney. has given
the opinion that each employer Is
liable fer that amount only which he
pays the employe and is not liable il
an accident occurs while the employee
is working for one Of the other en-
ployers. - .,.4.
In brief, Garden says: Where a
person doing janitor work is employ
ed Under separate contract by differ
ent individuals who pay Independent
ly and individually for the services
rendered to them, each one OF these
contracts for service Is independent
of and entirely distinct from each 9th
er contract. In the case OF injury,
therefore, to the janitor in the course
Of his employment only that employer
is liable to make compensation in
whose employment the janitor was
engaged at the time of the injury and
compensation is to be calculated only
on the wages paid by such employer"
Concerning the amount of premium
which each employer would have to
pay. it is calculated entirely on the ba-
sis of the wages paid by that particular
employer. Amy other employments
which the sjanitor may be engaged in
are Of no concern whatever to any in
dividual employer.
Garden also points out that the in
dividual employer is liable for COM
pensatien to assistants employed by
the janitor.

an extent where Dan Cupid decided
to take hand. The little winged goo
of love took a big handful and last
Saturday evening a mysterious party
off uor persons sneaked down to the
home of Hawaiian minister at Waia-
lua.
1t was an elopement with all the ex-
element one reads about in the maya

young couple had intended to keep
their marriage secret, but details OF
the adventure leaked out inS a mys.

ANENT THE FREQUEM'Y OF ORR FAIRS

Despite The fact that our first county fair was a
signal success. Internationally, socially. financially
and every other way. We believe it would be mis-
take 10 make it regular annual affair. Everything
i'm moderation is a good old golden rule, and We
should he OVERRIDING il il We were to have fair
every year 1t is big undertaking. requiring much
time and strenuous work. to which fact the workers
for our first fair no doubt can testify. There are
not many who able to spare the time, thengh
they may be quite willing to assist in the work
hence should be obliged, at least to great ex-
tent to draw on the same people who acted as chair
men and members Of the many committees at the
last fair which would be rather an imposition.
1t appears to us that the best plan would be to
have fair every fourth year, in conjunction with
the civic convention. Give the other islands show
TO hold fair once in while, too. The civic CON
yention will this year he held in Honolulu Maui's
turn comes next in 1918. We have thus two years
in which to prepare for our next fair and after that
there will be interval of four years between each
fair, which would give ample time to thoroughly
get in shape for the next and make it decided i'm
prOyement upon the last. You cannot expect great
results and progress in year. neither in the agri
cultural industry nor in the livestock, but in four
years the improvements should be quite noticeable.

Sir: After reading your interesting

an auto oyerhauled me; at the same
