Roberts, Eminent Australian Actor Opera House Crowded-Strong Company of "Players Struck Oil. Seldom, if evor, has the theater going public of Honolulu witness ed a more thoroughly entertaining and satisfactory performance than that givon by tho deservedly wot Id-famous Australian Maggio Moore-H. R. Roberts Company boforo a large and appreciative audionoo at tho Opora Hoaso on Saturday evening last. Honolulu's representative peo ple, a gathering as largo as it was cosmopolitan, embracing as it did many of the city's loading men together with belles haole, bapa haolo and Hawaiian, turned out to greet tho first night's produc tion of tho short season of light drama and comedy by tho great star Maeaie Mooro and tho emi nent actor H. R. Roborts, sup ported by their splendid company of players. Throuuhout tho entire presenta tion of "Struok Oil" tho speota tors were charmed by tho con tinuity of intelligent and oxcellont action evinced by tho entire troupe. Enthusiastic applauso greeted the appearanco of tbe buxom yet graceful Maggio Moore, applause that was heartily and often re peated during tho play. As Lizzie Btofel, tho boisterous and exuberantly spirited Lizzie, Miss Mooro quiokly won tho hearts of all and condnoted her self throughout with the evoness of effort and undiminishing ver satility so oharaotoriatio of tho great aotress. Though in many cases hor part called for very rapid apeooh in tho quaint Dutoh EnRliah dialect, always were her words most artioulatoly delivered and easily distinguishable Her dauchtorly persecution of father Btofel, hor love-making, hor every movement were exquisitly Datoh. And her songs! Tho original sonuB of the play: "Lizzie's Fare well." "Pretty Wilholmina" and others as dolightful were rendered by MisBMooro in a manner unauect ed and full of oharm.Gracefully she responded to the many encores and daintily ahe rooeived tho nu merous lovely floral tributes. In tho sadder passages of tbe pieoe Miss Moore held the au dionco spell-bound; hor pathos ia Bubdued and moBt effective; when Lizzie Stofol's father gently slaps her plump hand and Lizzie weeps aloud, broken boartod, overybody wants to cry with hor; then wheu John Btofel, his soft heart melt ing, kisses tho spanked spot, the whole house must needs roar in merrimont with laughing Lizzie. Mr. H. R. Roborts as John Btofel left no doubt in tho minds of 'iuy as to his ability as an actor. It would bo hard to imagine a better John Btofel than Mr. Ro berts; his acting is perfect and his natural and pleasing prosouoe and laso of manner explain his wond erful popularity. In his lighter linos ho not only inn uses but convulses and in parts patliy ho playa upon tho sym pathetics of tho audionoo with tho touch of a mastor. Roberts is an aotor of skill aud fiowor, a player of whom Austra ia may well be proud. Tim villian's part, that of Dea con Skinner was most credita bly haudled by Mr. W. J.

On Tuosday night, "A Prodigal Father" is the play to bo produa ed, in whioh H. R. Roborts will take the woll-known character of Stanley Dodge and Maggio Mooro that of Dolly Bondo. On Thurs day tho California ploy of "Forty Nine" will bo given, and on Sat urday at the matinee and ovouing performances "Hans, the Boat roan," will be tho attraction. JLno poorly gotten up program was tho only subject of criticism among thoso who enjoyed Satur day's play, it was certainly a shab by and careless pieoo of work. m w SALAMANDERS LET LOOSE On Saturday last Prof. Eoebelo, Government entomologist, put into tbe Makiki stream, about two miles abovo tho reservoir, a hun dred or moro salamanders rocont ly brought by him from Califor nia. Although the ultimuto pur pose is to have thoso salamanders put into taro patohos for tho des truction of tho rocontly discovored taro worm, Prof. Eoebolo decided to first place a lot in tho Makiki stream to give them a chanoe to brocd. Four of thoso salamanders have boon kept in a tub at tho Govern ment nursery. Whon this was first dono the tub was full of mosquito larvao, but after a few hours' time there wero none re maining. It would seem from this that tho salamanders will keep down the mosquitos to a great extent whon once they have spread. While frogs and toads have been put into the streams and ponds about Honolulu for tho destruction of suoh pests as tho mosquitoes they have tho disad vantage of only boing able to foed abovo water, while the salaman der feeds under water, and can destroy tho mosquitoes before they come to tho stage when the use of wings comes into play. This salamander is the western species, known by the name of uiemyctyiua torosus. xne speci mens obtained aro all from Cali fornia. m m TUB IHABEAH CORPUS CASE.

William A. Kiha, poet, musi cian, politician, and tnooiogian, and a district court attornoy, died suddenly at Hnlawa, Molokai, last Thursday morning, August 10th, aged about G8 years old. Some twenty years or moro ago, ho with his brother Enoka Ka lauao, father of Sam Kalama of Makawao conducted an English Bohool in tho old Kauraoknpili churob, and their pupils are to be found all over the group today. Mr. Kiha was also deputy sheriff at Waipio, Hamakua, Hawaii, years ago under tho monarchy, and six or sevon years ngn wkb practicing his profession at Koloa, Kauai. In 1891 he removed with bis family to Halawa, Molokai, and wont to work raising taro on his wife's estate; bo lemained thero until death removed him from his earthly cares. Mr. Kiha was considered a man of remarkable ability for a pure Hawaiian of hn age, a echolar of the old sohool. Ho could road, write, and speak the English language and understood it better than most of tho younger genera tion of today. In politics ho sided with the royalist party and at first was verv bitter against tho so-called revolutionary or an nexation party; but as yoars pro gressed and he saw tho uttor use lessness of further adhering to tho false prophets of his party, he took tbe oath undor tho constitu tion of tho Republio of Hawaii, and died a oitizon of the United States of America. Ho was one of the oldest music teaohers and composers in the Hawaiian Islands, and componi tion known as "Kiss Me My Darling" and other popular Ha waiian songs are his own. Mr. Kiha also trauslatoJ a biblical work of the Advoutists in Ha waiian which work is well known throughout the islands. F r years Mr. Kiha was choir master at tho old Eaumakapili church and was ono of the lead ing male voices of tho oboir. Only a few months ago, last April, ho won prainos for the ablo manner in which ho bad trainod the members of tho Kaunakakai Sabbath school at tho recont Pukoo convention.

Desertions from Hawaii Plantations Managers Objecting Strenuously Something About Small Planters. Dr. Peterson, Inspector of Im migrants, who returned from Ha waii in the Olaudine Sunday, had tho following to say about his trip: " Whilo on Hawaii I visited the sugar plantations in Enhala, Ha makna and in the Hilb district. The conditions in general I found to be good. Improvomenta r?com mended by men had been made temporarily and tho material for permanent improvements were on tho ground. Of conrso I mado dif- teront suggestions as to improve ments while on this last trip and found the mnoagers as a general thine, very willlnc to comply. " I arrivod in some of tho places during a rainstorm and fnuud the roofs of various laborors' houses leaking. Tho managers Boomed very willing to attond to repairs at once. ' Whilo in Olaa I found that notices had been posted up by Japanese contractors, offering $22 per month for laborors to do tho work of oloariug off land for tho Olaa plantation. As a result of this all the freo laborers available iu tbe vicinity havo flocked to Olaa and a large number of con traot laborors have deserted from plantations near by. The managers are protesting vigorously but this seems to do no good. Of courso, the work having beon parcelled out to thoso contractors, it is not tho fault of tho plantation man njjemont if desertions tako place as a result of the call mentioned. " I noticed another interesting thine. The plantations in tho Hilo district have and will pay oat this season at least 1200,000 to small planters in sums ranging from $7 to $2000. This means that the plantations havo lands impossiblo to cultivate by means of tho ordi nary facilities, as on tho eido hills, and that these will havo to be done by hand. Many laborers are thus able to make from 825 and $3') eaoh a month by doing this work during spare moments. "If these laborers plant on their own lands they got so much more for their cane but if tbe land be longs to tbo plantations the labor ers get from $3 CO to 15.00 por ton for the cano. " Waiuaku has already paid out this season the earn of $GO,000 for cano outside of the regular orop. Tho Onomoa Sugar Co. has pul out $45,000 aud will pay qb much more before tho end of tho season. Waiakea has also paid out a large num. m Uctli-r .tliik. Food Iunpeotnr Shorey states th'it ho i- just now busy with milk in tho Chines- restaurants.
