The choruses were splendidly rendered, and caught the favor of the audience from the start. Jimmie Dougherty, introduced as "California's favorite enor soloist,"' gained a name and fame in Honolulu last night with his sweet voice. His rendition of "Memoria" earned -for him unstitnted applause, to which he re sponded with an encore which was equally well received. Joe Marriner in a little 'Hot Air," and C. F. Water man, who sang "My Lady Bird," were successes, the choruses being especial ly well rendered. E. J. Hawkins ap peared several times in coon s?ongs. and made a hit with E. S. Cunhas latest composition. "My Heaianl Girl," which was dedicated to the Healani Boat Club. The music of this selec tion, heard for the first time last even ing, is catchy and bright. The Tux edo Quartet sang but once, owing to the sudden indisposition of Mr. Rock well, who was compelled to leave the stage. Charles Elston's beautiful tenor voice was heard to advantage in "Dream" and won an encore. What Guy Livingstone doesn't know about minstrelsy isn't worth knowing, even if he has to sing it. He actually caused tears to come while he sang "Them Goo-Goo Eyes." The Healani Mandolin Orchestra, composed of Messrs, Frazler, Marriner, McLean, McCuslck and Peterson, was a pretty feature of the program. Mc Cusick's costume was a dream of orig inality in itself. "The Bandmaster's Troubles" called forth several' of the local celebrities by proxy upon the stage. Artist Yard ley's cartoons in the Advertiser of John Emmeluth. the "Plumber States man;" Judge Humphreys of the First Circuit Court; Professor Heinrich Berger, leader of the Hawaiian Band; Robert Wilcox, delegate to Congress, Testa, the weighty and coatiess pro prietor of the Independent, were cop ied by the amateur actors with a start ling likeness to the originals. When the curtain was raised upon this act the audience had to 190k down into the orchestra to determine whether the genial band leader was there or upon the stage, so true to life had John Piver made himself up. There were the self-same whiskers, white suit, and Berger's beautiful dialect. Professor Berger, the real, looked on in amaze ment when he saw his counterpart up on the stage, and after gazing at him for an instant in perplexity, he joined in the applause and turned , around to smile at his friends. Judge Hum phreys, or Judge Hamfreeze, as he was upon the stage, was delineated by Jim mie Dougherty. He was Humphreys a la Tardlev, with a big polka-dot neck tie which expanded over his shoulders, bows upon -his low-cut shoes, and trou sers rolled up high, while the "pale, intellectual countenance," was there almost las real as that of the original. The Jadge's mannerisms were truth fully cfpied and carried out. His one claim li ambition last evening was his urgent fdesire to have Professor Bin ger set to music a piece he had Just writtef. entitled, "Why Smith Left Homef a reminiscence of Frederick D Smith's brief stay.

Bolsse Judge Hamfreeze Jimmy Dougherty Much disappointment was expressed that Ralph Yardley, the Advertiser ireist and cartoonist, did not appear to sketch some of the local celebrities whom he has made famous by his facile pencil. A cu riosity was expressed to see the man who had made so many people laugh by his daily work, but as the program was lengthening the hours toward midnight, Mr. Yardley modestly withdrew. The performance concluded with a grand march, a ballet of the Amazons. The stage was full of fascinating, "vo luptuous" Kakaako Junos. as the pro gram described them, every one of them guaranteed sound of limb and wind. The names of these kittenish maids, who were led by R. Raymond, were: Blue R. B. Kldd. J. Lloyd, A.- Judd. D. Renear. Red B. Webster, G. Livingston, J. Dougherty. K. J. Hawkins. Black G. G. Stephens, J. Mariner, F. Berger, C. Simpson. Pink F. Damon, G. Fuller, F. Woodbridge, K. Healy. The attenuated limbs of most of these coryphees suggested the story of the grandmother ballet "girls," and, in fact, a number of them wore spectacles on ac count of old age. Slender "Bert" Web ster performed a pretty toe dance, in which the toe action was left out. and gained much applause. The march was a series of evolutions under colored lights in which the spears, blonde wigs and tights were the main features. Taken all in all, the show was a good one and the audience was sufficiently amused to have made it worth all the trouble and hard work the boys have put In for several weeks past. The an nouncement was made from the stage that the performance would be repeated again on Saturday night. Yardley may appear then. Among those present in the audience were Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Hatch, Mr. W. G. Irwin in a lower box, while Prince Pacific Import Qo. PROGRESS BLOCK. FORT STREET. MAJOR GENERAL LEONARD WOOD.

It is to be based largely upon that which is in operation in the latter State. A bill has been introduced In both Houses of the Legislature, and will be speedily passed, which does away with saloons and makes the State the only liquor seller. Tourist hotels are allowed certain exemptions, and "wines made from Florida grapes and fruits may be sold .under liberal provisions." It is an ticipated that the new law will yield the State $1.000,00 a year net income, which will be used In building good roads. The more the people of Florida drink the better roads they will have.

FACTS ARE STUBBORN. If Honolulu People Are Not Con vinced by Local Testimony They Differ From Other People. Our readers will have noticed how in the past two years "Cures" have multi plied in the newspapers very fast, and the public are becoming skeptical. Facts are demanded, but it has also become essential to know who sup plies these facts, where they are from. People will not now accept incredible cures from the other side of the world. They want them at home. "Give us some neighbor, then I will believe" Is what is asked for. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills do this. Call it what you like, home, local or neighbor's testi mony, you can always ascertain the truth of it without leaving the city limits. Here is a case: Mr. W. J. Maxwell of this town, Tru ant officer, writes thus: "I suffered with a horrible pain in the small of my back (an almost invariable symp tom of kidney trouble) for a number of years. I was advised to take some of Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, and following the suggestion, 1 went to the Hollister Drug Co.'b store, Fort street, and got some of these. Having taken them, they relieved me straight away, and are, I may Bay, the best and in fact the only cure for backache. I have mentioned the virtue of this wonderful remedy to several persons, among whom is my friend, Mr. Frank Metcalf, who found relief, and he is now a firm believer in Doan's Backache Kidney Pills." Some of the symptoms of kidney dis ease are pain in the back, and sides, headaches, nervousness, frequent thirst, hot dry skin, shortness of breath, evil forebodings, troubled sleep, puffiness of the eyelids, swelling of the feet and ankles, loss of flesh, dark colored urine, deposits, etc. If you have any of these symptoms you should lose no time in treating them, for delay is dangerous. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are sold by all chemists and storekeepers at 50 cents per box, six boxes $2.50, or will be mailed on receipt of price by the Hollister Drug Co., Honolulu, wholesale agents for the Hawaiian Islands.
