It had been par tially explored tw.nty-thre years be fore and the little fur-trading iiettle m. nt whre the Astor fortunes were founded antedated Dr. ltlshop's birth only fifteen years. Vh. n California was annexed by the fnlted Htates the nubject of this Msetck: wan within two years of his ma Igeitr. It eeems phenomenal that we should have among us a man. hearty. ruKK-d. with the glow of health on his face snd his mental qualities unim paired, who was on the verge of man hood at a time when savages heiq an but small areas of the mainland be tween the Mississippi river and the is and most of th- western coun try bordering the sea as well. At the ur.ie of Dr. Bishop's birth the popula tion of the United States was ap proaching the total made three years lata r of 12.MS.e20. The center of ipu- was then In West Virginia. To day New York and Pennsylvania alone have more than 13.000.000 population and the whole country must have about 75.000.000. It would not be out fat all reason for Dr. ltlshop to hope to live lone enough to we the population pass the 00.OOO.n00 mark, exclusive of whut Is to be added through the annex ation of forelirn lands. Dr. ltlshop's life haa been wholly use ful. A man of marked literary facili ty snd of sound Christian spirit and training he has written and preached f.-r over half a century and has been .-"title.! with ev.ry rational cauae of moral and religious upbuilding here. Taking a deep and vigilant Interest In higher politics he haa helped every movement which ainud to give Hawaii the rule of honest and capable men; and when the great political change .nine his pen waa employed with skill and vigor In the cause of annexation. Through all the stress of his more ac tive years he found time to make origi nal researches In science; and It was be. we believe, w ho discovered the re lation between the seismic outburst of Krakatoa and th brilliant red sunsets which prevailed for so long a time aft- rwnrd.

Of the play much may be said in ad miration of the skill of the players in evolving such pathos and comedy from the somewhat clap-trap melsdratna with Its sensational effects and cli maxes. Both as an Elk and a critic I deplore th- fact that space forbids eulogy this mornlnir. Warde as the mountebank brines tears to the eyes with true pa- th-'s and Invests th- unnuxurain.'ss oi th.

Herman has an Indiffer ent r'le as the cniu-oioooea niwn with a ridiculous antl-cllmatlc final ap pearance at the close. He makes the most of It. however. Harry Johnstone's characterization of the noble of the Itourbon dynasty, aristocrat and roue even In approaching senility, was con sistently clever. Miss Hertelle is de nervliiK of praise f.ir her natural Henri and carries in her somewhat diminutive person much of the talent of the com pany. Miss Warde appeared to excel lent advantage in her ingenuous role, and Miss Trescott gave life to duplex characters with clear precision. Mr. Ilynes deserves congratulation as Fan faronade, playing the part with careful r- s.-rvatin and effectiveness. Mr. Cole man stood out from the rest of the cast, as did MaeI.eod as the Republi can inkeeper and deputy of many of flees. Miss Ashton as the wife must not be forgotten. H-r voice Is always pleasing, her posturing effective and her presence welcome. The honors lay with Ward- and Miss Hertelle in the pathos of the s-cond act. ALLAN DUNN. THEY THINK WE HAVE COLD FEET MONTGOMERY. Ala.. May .-The first step was taken today by the ne groes of Alabama toward testing the new constitution of the State, wh-n Nelson Hibb. an aged negro, male affi davit before a notary that he had been denied the right to register, although alleging that he had complied with all of the qualifications exacted by the constitution. It is said that this affida vit will be used by Wilford H. Smith, a negro lawyer from New York, who Is here. In filing a bill In tbe United States District Court declaring that the con stitution of Alabama Is contrary to the Federal constitution. If he is unsuc cessful in the lower court, the case will be appealed to the t'nlted States Su preme ".urt. The Colored Men's Suf frage Association, which was organized here about a month ago. has Issued an appeal to the negroes of the 8tnte bs subscribe $2000 to psy the costs f con testing the new Instrument. A representative of the baseball nine f the I. S. S. Manila called at The Advertiser office yesterday and asked that a challenge be issued on behalf of the team to play any baseball nine in Honolulu. The gunboat's nine was considered one of the best In the Phil ippines and won a long series of good games out there. Speaking to a reporter yesterday the representative of the team said: When we arrived here we heard many gonl reports concerning the Ho nolulu ball teams. So good. In fact, were these reports that they made the Manilas quite eager to arrange.a game. I'nfortunately. how ver. cur team I a very strong one and your boys must have been made aware of the fact, as we have been unable to get a team to play us. Kindly notify the public that we stand ready to meet any team in the Islands." The above is a very sporting chal lenge, if Just a trifle egotistical, and If a game could b- arranged it would surely draw a good gate. It seems n pity that such a good nine should be al lowed to depart from these shores, hungry for a game. The Manila is scheduled to sail on Sunday morning, however, so that there is not much time left. STEAMER MOVEMENTS. ARRIVE.
