pearing in black face. 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

urgent fdesire to have Professor Bin

Cunha and Testa are built on the

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

A DISPENSARY IN FLORIDA.
Florida has followed the example of
South Carolina and is about to adopt a
dispensary system in place of liquor sa
loons. 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.
