MAGGIE MOORE MAKES A HIT
First Appearance In This City of tbe
World's Famous Star.
B. R. 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.

con Skinner was most credita

is a strong ono and
poor playor among its
" The Chinese Quostion,"
tho skotoh following tho
play, surprised moat people,
but they were more than willing
to remain and witness more of the
company's ohoioe work.
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

JLno poorly gotten up program
was tho only subject of criticism
among thoso who enjoyed Satur
day's play, it was certainly a shab

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

News Notes of Wailuku.
Last Sunday morning, a party
consisting of Messrs. Samuel
Parker, Thoa. Cummings, D. A.
Ray, Senator Olarko and Col. "W.
H. Cornwell, went per Stmr.
Kauai from Maalaea to Lanai,
and after visiting tho now Manna

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,

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.
Mr. Kiha leaves a wife (mother

THEY PAY GOOD WAGES
Contractors In Olaa Offer
$22 for Laborers.
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.
