Dillingham entertained a party of guests at dinner last evening in "Haleiwa," Waialua. The train which conveyed the party left the city at 2:45 and reached Waialua at 4:53. Dinner was served at 6 o'clock in the large dining-hall of the hotel. One of the subjects debated in the dinner-table talk was the aphorism Brillat-Sa- varin, the Apostle of Gastronomy, "The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of the human race than the discovery of a planet." Mr. Dillingham, as the Lord of the Table, and the host, declared that he could pass no judgment, for, while he had eaten new dishes, he had never eaten a planet. Kipling's toast to the tropics was drank: To the cool of our deep verandas, "To the blaze of our jeweled main, To the night, to the palms in the moonlight. "And the firefly in the cane." The train swung out in the moon light homewardbound at 9:50 p. m. and reached the city at 11:40. Mr. Dillingham's guests were: Col. and Mrs. Mills, Dr. and Mrs. McGrew, Dr. and Mrs. Cooper, Mrs. Turner, Miss Helen Smith, Mrs. Samuel Wilder, Miss Stansbury, Dr. Frear, Mr. Hughes and Mr. Limaikaika. The Marshall libel case will come up in the Police Court this morning. rOWSE AT OMAHA Hawaiian Co.ony MM Up With ChaDu.es in Temperature. EXPOSITION ATTENDANCE GOOD How Johnny Wilson Fixed Western Union-Singling Brothers Great Circus and Other Sights. (Staff Correspondence.) OMAHA, Neb.,Sept. 8. The members of the local Hawaiian colony have been doubled up like jack-knives by the vio lent range of temperature lately. This is Friday. On Tuesday last the high est shown by the thermometer was 99 above. The next day was nearly as bad, but on Thursday it came on clou dy, there was a heavy rain, and the mercury ran down to a registration of 57 above. Mr. Logan was compelled to sing to keep himself Warm. His vocal efforts did not lose him any friends, as he has succeeded in estab lishing himself quite firmly. The na tives in the village sighed at once for the Islands. The Hawaiians for a long time have been counting the days till the ending of the exposition. There is some likelihood, however, that the musicians and dancers may fill some engagements in the East after complet ing their contracts here. There is talk too, of the exposition management se curing the Hawaiians to appear in pub lie places on the grounds each evening as a companion attraction to the Bell stedt band, which has been re-engaged to remain to the end of the show. The exposition people are feeling in better spirits today than for many weeks. They have just made the sale, to the Chicago Wrecking Company, of all the buildings at a figure of $50,000 The exposition company paid but ?1S,- 000 for the property. An advantageous sale of the waterworks plant has also been made. This gives the exposition people a goodly quantity of cash with which to advertise East and West, for the engagement of features and en couragement of excursions. Much bet ter attendance and from greater dis tances, is anticipated for the rest of this month and all of next. Mr. Logan and myself have been en tertained handsomely by the Gany mede Bicycle Club, an organization of the leading young men of Council Bluffs. They gave us an evening that reminded us of home. It included a rim to Lake Manawa, a fine bathing resort. Here we had boat-riding and swimming. On return to town there was a jinks in the club. The writer found an old school friend in Council Bluffs in the person of Postaf Clerk Lane, of the Union Pacific run west. The Ganymede Club has made the Ha waiian representatives honorary mem bers. Lane and the boys have put us down for a picnic and a couple of hops. ED. TOWSE. At the end of the first week of the third month of the exposition the pros pects for a fine finale are much better than ever before. They have their po litical fights in the various boards and committees every day, but between, or in the midst of the rows something is done to forward the interests of the enterprise. They are now spending considerable money for advertising and some intelligent effort in this line is seen. The railways 'are at last be ginning to do their share. This week there have been two excursions of ed itors and many men of both the par ties have been interested in the Isl ands. They ask many questions and eagerly accept literature. I must say that Hawaii has just about lost her old identity. There is not one man in 500 .but what thinks that the republic has become a new territory. A number of the public men with whom I have con versed have spoken of W. O. Smith as having been elected to be the first delegate in Congress from the Islands. In the Press building here one may have access to several hundred of the principal newspapers of the country. The most noteworthy thing to roe in them is the opposition of a number of Republican papers to imperialism, but I suppose they will be whipped into line before the next campaign opens. To me the importance of Bryan as a ' political factor seems overestimated for the reason that he leaves no trail. He is never heard excepting when he speaks. I saw the big Labor Day parade here on the 4th inst., and was surprised that it was not big at all. The labor lead ers are after the prizes just the same as the vote-getters and the job-chas ers. The carpenters had the heaviest representation in the column. The painters, bakers and blacksmiths came next in the order given. There were hardly any printers. Railroad em ployes were not seen at all, and there are sixteen railways running into this place. There are half a dozen great packing-houses here, but none of their employes were parading. The plumb ers were in carriages. This was really laughable. I am not saying that or ganized labor is weak or puny, but we down in the Islands have not under stood just how big a row a few people could make in this great country. The Hawaiian village was "dark" last evening. So many members of the company were ill on account of the heat and overwork that performances could not be given. Business was re sumed this evening. Ben Jones was quite sick for. a couple of days, but is all right again. On Labor Day there were 25,000 peo pie in attendance on the exposition and all the buildings had crowds and the Midway attractions did big busi ness. These Midway shows corre spond, exactly, to the old "booths" that were an adjunct to markets and fairs in England a century or two ago Many of them fail to reflect any cred it on Omaha or the exposition. John H. Wilson is the only man I ever knew who was able to teach the Western Union Telegraph Company a trick, and he naturally refuses to teach it. John was in Chicago a few days ago and sent a telegram to one of the Hawaiians. He so handled the words that the actual sixty-four sent count ed sixteen. None of the operators rec ognize the language and think the young man is using a cipher. The head of the department that sup plies the exposition grounds with 64, 000 electric lights is "Harry" Rustin, aged 32. He is the brightest youn American in this section. Mr. Rustin was this day engaged to take charge of the lighting for the Pan-American Exposition to be given at Buffalo, N. Y., next year. The Pan-American will be the closest approach to a Paris fair that this country has ever seen. Ringling Brothers' Circus, the great est that ever traveled, gave two per formances here this week to audiences of 30,000 in the afternoon and 40,000 in the evening. One feature was fif teen trick elephants. Another was John O'Brien's act with sixty-four horses, including ' Silver King, the horse that cake-walks. You may be sure the town was circus-crazy. The opening number was a spectacle: "Un cle Sam Freeing Cuba": in the scene were 200 horses, 300 men, C full bands and enough red light and flags for a Dewey reception. The company had altogether 500 horses and CO small po nies. Of course, the menagerie was complete. Ringling Brothers have not yet decided to visit the Islands. The next big thing for Omaha is Buffalo Bill's show, with a representation oi San Juan hill. Bellstedt fairly outdid himself with his Labor Day concert. As a response to the third encore, or recall, tendered him for his cornet solo, he gave, in most realistic style, "The Strike of the Musicians." Nearly everybody wras fooled. At first the men refused to play, standing up in their places in making speeches. Finally they did a little work in a half-hearted manner. Then they commenced to walk away. The police actually offered to inter fere. The audience took sides, imag ining the break to be in dead earnest. In time Bellstedt was left alone and announced that to satisfy the audience that had gathered he would give a few cornet selections. He started up "An nie Laurie" as only Bellstedt can play a ballad. At the end of a few bars the whole band came marching back play ing "Annie Laurie" and the crowd simply went wild. Messrs. Lomax and Darlow of the Union Pacific, who have done so much to promote tourist travel to the Isl ands, will not cease. They have faith in their plans and firmly believe that a large number of people from this sec tion will visit the group if the possi bilities and pleasures are made clear. Mr. Logan and myself have been in vited to a conference on the subject. We have been questioned pretty close ly already and I expect there is much more yet to answer. Dudley Smith, secretary of the ex position, has promised to visit the Islands next winter, and we are urg ing Dr. Geo. L. Miller, the president, to come along. ED. T. Omaha, Neb., Sept. 6, 1899. ANOTHER YACHT RACE. Gladys and La Pa loin a Will Race to Lahaina and Back. The next yachting event of impor tance will be the race between La Paloma and the Gladys next Saturday. The course will be to Lahaina and re turn and with our usual channel weather it will be a good test of the comparative sailing qualities of the two yachts in rough water. La Paloma has a great advantage in size but Captain Hobron has unbounded confidence in the sea going qualities of the Gladys and the race is apt to be a warm one. NEW BILL at ORPHEUM THEA TER tonight. THE ROOKE SUITS Some Extracts from the Principal Document on File.
