Temperature. There are two things in the climate new to the experience of visitors. One is the extreme majority of average temperature day after day, while in the eastern United States and many European countries hot and cold waves of temperature alternate ) degrees Fahrenhett to 30 degrees in four hours. In Hawatll, the breezes come with nearly the same warmth, and for month after month the same uniformity of temperature prevails. thermal records tak ept in 1873 at Hono- sunrise and 3 o'clock p.m., annual av. temperature = rainfall 5-100 inches.

For Europeans, northern Mediterranean ports along the Riviera enjoy equal and greater average coolness by reason of higher latitude or distance from the equa- tor; they are subject to the “terral” or cold blasts, the “mistral” or dry wind, and the levantess or east wind, and occasional frosts from the realms of winter. In contrast with this, Hawaii, with the mercury even as low as 50 degrees on the highlands in the month of January, there is no approach to frost.

The public buildings and parks are num- erous, the hotel accommodations comfort- able and at reasonable rates. The roads leading out of the city are macadamized and horse cars connect with the suburbs. Waikiki for Sea Bathing. “O Waikiki O! scene of peace! O home of beauty and of dreams! No haven in the Ixies of Greece Can chord the herp to sweeter themes; For ‘hours’ haunt the broad “lanais,” While scented zepbyrs cool the lea, And looking down from sunset skies, ‘The angels smile on Waikiki.” This favorite resort, both for pleasure seekers and invalids, lies along the sea shore two miles from town with its pretty cottages scattered among the cocoa palms and groves of algaroba trees. Here the views of ocean and mountain are excep- tionally fine, looking out from the cool and shaded “lanai,” or verandas, over the broad Pacific, where the white-fringed surf breaks on the outer coral reef, and sea bathing becomes a luxury at all seasons, the air and water being nearly the same temperature. This is the favorite place near Point Leahi or Diamond Head, where the foreigner as well us native indulge in canoe surf rid- ing and surf board riding, the latter only by expert natives. The cottages along the beach are shaded by palms and a variety of foliage, dancing and bathing parties by moonlight are most enjoyable and delight- ful and excursions on the wheel or on horseback can be made to the extinct cra- ter of Diamond Head, ‘“‘Manoa” and other valleys, with their silvery waterfalls. To the east of the city a good carriage road extends to Punchbowl Hill and Mt. Tantalus, the latteer a gradual ascent of 2.013 feet, overlooking the south and west portions of the island. The view is unsur- passed and poetically described by Mr. Ewart. The “Pali” or precipice at the head of the romantic and historic Nuuauu valley is also reached by a good curriage road seven miles from town. The view’ of the eastern side of Oahu from this point is magnificent. The road winds down the face ot the precipice to the plains below and is lost amid the sugar and rice planta- tions in the distance. Here, Kamehameha First, the Conqueror, drove his vanquished foes to their death over the precipice, their bones whitening the plains below. “Beyond the ceean's rim the A Scarlet flame clini The mountain peaks 2re tipped with roseate glow, ‘The golden mists droop over Waianae, And cold gray shadows in the valleys He, Where 1 through deep jungles flow. o ALting s the i passing | the rainbow’s rim, Below onr fe ess of trees Hides the fair city, ling faint and far, The mefled muste on the coral bar, he loud-vo d chunt of ever restless sea.’’ Along the slope of “Tantalus” are cot- tage sites at an elevaticn of 1,800 feet, soon to be occupied as summer residences. The mountains beyond are 4,000 feet high, covered with verdure to their summits. Pearl Harbor, the site of the proposed naval station, ‘and Pearl City, places of health resort with fa tor and fishing unsurpassed, the Oahu railwa twelve miles from Hono- lulu. The scenery along the shores of this fine harbor is most attractive. Six mil beyond is the large and productive “i plantation. Her> the entire process of sugar making can be witnessed, railroad passenger trains running daily. The journey around the island can be continued from here ever a good road, re- turning to Honolulu on the east side by way of the Pali, a distance of ninety miles. On the Island of Maui. Voyaging about eighty miles_ northeast to Kahulul, the port of 1aWing for visitors on the east side of Maui, is the point of departure to the great extinct crater of Haleakala, or house of the sun, 10,000 feet above the sea. The ascent 1s made over a mountain trail on horseback and the lew from the summit at sunrise is grand beyond description. The crater is 2,000 feet in depth and thirteen miles in circumference.

It is tuated on the side of the great mountain Mauna Loa, sor 4,000 feet above sea level and is easy of acces: Visitors can reach the fire pits in the crater on horseback or and {on foot. The scene at night is indeseriba- bly grand. It is called by the natives, “Halomaumau” or house of everlasting fire, the abode of the Goddess “Pele.” The last steamer from Hawaii brings an account of a new and extensive eruption at Kilauea and also at Mokuweoweo on the summit of Mauna Loa. - The climate at the Voleano House {s cool and bracing, and a favorite summer re- sort. Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea are crowned with snow during the winter months. Kailua, on the western shore, the ancient and favorite health resort of the kings of Hawaii, is sheltered in its rear by Mount Hualalal. It possesses a dry and equabie climate, admirably suited to the invalid. Steamers coven shere every ten days en route to the volcafio. Pineapples, oranges, coffee and other products are cultivated in the vicinity. The Garden Island of Kaual. The most northerly island of the group, here the trade winds blow with great regu- larity. The climate ts unsurpassed near the sea shore, temperature, 74 degrees; on the high lands, 64 degrees; lowest temperature in winter, 50 degrees. The Inter Island Co.'s boats make weekly trips, a distance of eighty miles from Honolulu. This island is very attractive to visitors, having fine roads, sugar and rice plantations, lovey valleys and waterfalls. The famous “bark- ing sends” are an object of great interest. Among the five large islands of the group you will find every attraction of climate and scenery, combining all the advantages possessed by Florida, southern California, the Bermudas and European resorts, and there is scarcely any constitutional disease that may not he alleviated, if not cured, by_a judicious selection of residence. Churches and good schools, complete ‘postal system and a civilized, though cos- mopolitan population, having all the com- forts of modern life, with cost of living reasonable, are to be found. The English language is the official and only medium of business. Under the influence of the present repub- lican administration annexation of this en- terprising American colony ought to be ac- complished, and it will then be brought in- to greater prominence as a favorite health resort, and must then become known as the sanitarium of the Pacific for the tourist have been to the Columbia people. It is believed that Monday night the National Tkeater will be filled with Mr. Bond’s ad- mirers, for he comes with the advantage of former acquaintance here, and all remem- ber his good work in previous years. The National Theater will not be the only Place of amusement, however, for Glen Echo is now contending for favor in that respect. It is some distance off, to be sure, but the ride out there is a refreshing one at the close of the day, or even when the sun is hottest, and when one reaches Glen Echo there is no difficulty in keeping cool. The female orchestra and the vaudeville performances furnish an excellent enter- tainment, and the increasing number of visitors show that the public appreciates the efforts of the new management. Glen Echo is a beautiful spot and its natural at- tractions have been enhanced by a lavish expenditure of money in the erection of handsome buildings and in laying out the grounds in the most artistic manner. The property has up to this time been an ele- phant on the hands of its owners, but the present scheme of running a high-class vaudeville entertainment, with good music and the facilities of a good cafe, seems to be just what the people want and are will- ing to pay for. The “bike” has become a great source 0: recreation among professiorals, and scarce- ly a company traveling that does not ada to its excess baggage account one or more of these “space annihilators.” Summer companies in Washington are particularly devoted to this exhilarating sport, owing to the miles upon miles of good riding ot- fered by our smooth streets. One of the latest additions to the bike ranks is Fred- eric Bond, who is fast becoming an expert. He tells of a thrilling incident which re- cently happened to him in New York city. The metropclis is not so liberal In the mat- ter of asphalt pavements as is the capital city, and the riders must nevessarily con- fine’ themselves to restricted _ territories. Mr. Bend was riding down 46th street (which is one of the few thoroughfares with a smooth surface) thinking of a new part he had been studying and paying lit- tle heed to his surroundings. He had reached 6th avenue before he was aware of the fact and did not notice an approaching elevated train. Before he could stop his wheel or dismount the elevated train had passed over him. Julia Arthur has returned to this coun- try after a two-years’ connection with Sir Henry Irving. She comes back to create the part of Clorinda in Mrs. Frances Hodg- son Burnett's play of “Lady of Quality. She is quite enthusiastic over the part, and to a New York reporter, in speaking of the play, Miss Arthur said: “The play will follow closely on the lines of the book. It will open with the birthday supper, Clorinda’s sixteenth birthday, ad her last appearance in boy’s clothes. My costumes will all be of the sixteenth and seventeenth century brocades and satins. I like boys’ clothes, and am not at all airaid of them, especially when they may be as prettily fashioned as Clorinda’s. I shall wear the long satin coat, knee breeches and silk hose, and strut about end talk as much slang as Mrs Burnett's her- oine ought to. You must remember she was brought up in the stables among the horses and the dogs. Physically and men- tally she should show strength of an un- usual sart. But of my conception cf the heroine I can tell you more after I have seen Mrs. Burnett. Although I know what I think of her, I shall be glad to receive any suggestions she may offer.” The second volume of Julius Cahn’s The- atrical Guide has been issued, and while the first was supposed to completely cover the field this second issue is far superior in every respect to that of last year. It contains numerous innovations, is much larger and is as correct as to details as it is possible for a work of this kind to he. Scuverirs of the 250th night of “The Girl From Paris’ have been received in this city with the compliments of Ed- ward E. Rice. They are handsome stand- ing mirrors with silver frames richly ed and make a splendid ornament for sing table. GLEN ECHO.—The list of new attractions for the amphitheater at Glen-Echo-on-the- Potomac next week includes the following vaudeville artists direct from New York and Philadelphia thea- : Van Leer and Barton, the kings of black face comedy; the Brownings in a refined sketch; Baker and Ran- dall comedians and dancers; Caswell and Arnold, the electric acrobatic duo, Emma Franc i mar- vel. The famous Fadettes, Boston's lady orchestra of twenty-five trained and skili- ed musicians, will also be heard in grand concert. | Wonderful improvements have been made at Glen Echo under Manager Middleton’s care nnd attention, and thou- sands of Washington’s best people avail themselves nightly of the opportunity of witnessing the nigh-class attractions offer- ed at Glen Echo. NATIONAL THEATER.—Mr. Frederic Rond, that prime favorite with the Wash ington theater goers, will come to the New National Theater next Monéay evening, July 26. While Mr. Bond has never been seen with any but a good company, he considers his present company the st he has ever brought here, and it is be- lieved that his many previous successes will be repeated on this engagement. The bill ts entitled “Where Are We At,” a com- edy that scored a tremendous hit in Louis- ville, Ky., where the company has just concluded a six weeks’ engagement. This comedy was pronounced by the press of that city to be one of the best seen there for many years. Mr. Bond will bring with him almost an entirely new company. One cf the cleverest character actors of the ccuntry, Mr. Maclyn Arbuckle, is with the company. He has been for several seasons with the Frawley Stock Company in San Francisco and Australia, and has won the praise of the press and. public at every ap- pearance. Mr. Francis Kingdon, an ex- cellent actor, has played for many seasons with such conpanies as Richard Mans- field, Rose Coghlan and A. M. Palmer, and also with the company that produced Dan- Jel Frohman’s successes in the Lyceum Theater, New York. Another young actor ef great promise, and a new member of the Bond Company, is Mr. Adolph Klauber, who has been seen by the Washingion theater gcers with the John Drew Com- pany, Pudd'n Head Wilson, etc. Mr. Wm. Courtney, is one of the handsomest and cleverest juvenile actors seen on the stage for many a day, and will certainly prove to be a great favorite with the Washing- tonians. He has been with the Richard Mansfield Company, and will appear with him again next season as leading juvenile man. The leading lady of Mr. Bond’s company will be Miss Maude Haslam, a handsome young woman and @ most charming ac- tress. Her excellent work in “Too Much Johnson” is well remembered by the theater goers who saw it. Too much can- not be said in praise of Miss Helen Reimers, one of the cleverest of women ctaracter actresses. Her work with the “My Friend From India Co.” caused her to be much in demand with the great managers of the day, and it goes without saying that her work with the Bond Stock Company will be appreciated. Another de- lightful acquisition to the company is Miss Caroline Cooke, who was last year leading lady with the “Fatal Card Co.” The many friends of Miss Maude Allan, a Washing- ton girl, will be delighted to hear that she has proven a sevorhe weereree this com- pany has appeared, ie will no doubt be warmly welcomed home, 8 5 id while made up of members new to Wash- ington in summer work, has made a splen- did impressicn, and no doubt will be wel- comed back next season.with open arms. it is presenting “Niobe” this week, that funny play of the Paultons, which made such a favorable impression the early part of the season. For tonight a special bill is an- nounced, made up of twenty minutes by James O. Barrows, the second ect of “A Scrap of Paper” and the first and second acts of “Niobe.” Owing to the length of the program the performance will begin at 8 instead of 8:30 o'clock. —————— EXCURSIONS. iz ‘The restraining order which was spplied fer against the steamer River Queen's stopping at Chapel Point will have no ef- fect upon the excursion of that boat to Chapel Point tomorrow, which will be made under the personal supervision of Capt. Blake. The case is set for argument on the 20th of the month, and as tomorrow is the 25th, the boat will be run as usual. The excursion last Sunday was among the most enjoyable trips that have been given out of Washington this summer. The sail of 110 miles for the low fare of 26 cents will induce a great number of persons to make the trip tomorrow. It is believed that the weather man will be a little more kindly disposed toward the excursionists tomorrow, and will not, as he did last Sun- day, raise up a storm to interfere with their pleasure. The ride to Chapel Point is one of the most delightful features of the day. The start is made from the Macales- ter’s wharf at 9:30 in the morning and the return is made about 9 o'clock at night. The boat will stop at Alexandria both on the down trip and the home run in order to accommodate those who desire to make the trip from that place. Chapel Point is a delightful place in which to spend all day. The breezes are cool and refreshing, while the natural amusements, such as fishing, bathing, boating and crabbing, are unexcelled. The bathing is real salt water enjoyment, and as such will be appreciated by all who make the trip. Arrangements have been made to provide for those who make the trip tomorrow and the very best of fare be provided for them. The ex- cursion will be made as orderly as possi- ble, and that means that ladies unprovided with escorts may make the trip in perfect safety. One of the pleasant spots in the eastern section of the city in which to spend an evening or an afternoon in search of a quiet, cool place is Congress Heights. Music and dancing may be enjoyed every evening from 6 until 10 o'clock, and the new electric line now running from the Navy Yard bridge to Congress Heights af- fords an easy mode of access. Special at- tractions are provided at the grove cn Sun- days, and accommodations for several theusand persons are availabte. Chevy Chase lake continues to hold its own with those who do not desire to go very far from the city in search of amuse- ment. The cool lake affords every advan- tage, while the special attractions on hand make a day spent here a delizhiful outing. this —_+>__. The Boy and the Apples. From the Adelaide (Austral‘a) Observer. & little boy sat on a fence and O'erhead at a drooping limb, And a yearning deep and intense came by And took possession of him. His little red features were covered with dirt, And his little brown legs were scratched. There were awful rents in his lttle gray sbirt, And his little blue pants were patched. From one little toe the nail had been torn, And one little heel was sore; A child apparently more forlorn I had never beheld before. At length he stood on the topmost rail And reached for that drooping limb, And, catching a slender branch, he pulled It slowly down to him. He pulled it hand over band, until He could reach the verdant fruit; I shuddered to think of the fate in ‘store For that innocent little coot. ‘He sat on the rail and ate and ate; ‘The apples were small and green; A clearer case of defying Fate ‘No mortal has ever seen! I sighed for him, and almost wept When I thought of the grief in store For his tired mother at home, alas! He pulled off a couple more! Then he slowly slid from the fence and left. I sald io myself—“Goud-bye! ‘Three days from now, my little man, In the graveyard you must lie. “Out there on the bill, where the gleaining stones In many a slanting row Remind us that we've got to pay One debt that all men owe! Don't be a pig because you Nobody is watching you.’ He was gone! I slowly turned away, With a heavy heart and sad; And I dropped a silent tear that day For that fated little lad. . A week had fled, and again T chanced To pass by that fat ree; And when at that drooping branch I glanced A thrill passed over me, .

The other tribes finally agreed to annihilate such undesirabie neighbors, and at a time agreed upon the cannibal village was surrounded and every member of the tribe was destroyed—aot even a babe was spared. Washingtor. of the Caddo tribe often re- lates this bit of tradition. AMUSEMENTS. Donch's Orchestra - furnishes: music for flencing every evening, and thousands of Washington’s. young people avail them- selves of the opportunity. ‘Those who make the journey to the lake should not fail to try the hydrocycles. They afford a most pleasing diversion and are as safe as an ordinary boat. Special tickets, including transportation to and from Piney Point, and meals and rccm at the fine hotel at that place, will be sold this evening for the steamer Ar- rowsmith, which will leave her wharf this evening at 6 o'clock for Piney Point and Colonia! Beach, but the round-trip tickets for transportaticn and accommodations at the hotel are good only at the former place. Piney Point is,a delightful spot in which to spend Saturday evening and Sunday, while the ride down the river in the even- ing is one of the features of the trip. The new steamer Bartholdi can be had any day or evening for charter. The boat is fast and cozy, and just the thing for a private party to take an outing in down the river.

A ride on the Mose- ley is more than enjoyable, it is delightful. ‘The boat is fast and perfectly safe, and is fitted up in the best of style with the most comfortable furniture. Parties on the big decks of the Moseley may have plenty of room, with every opportunity to catch all the air that is moving, and this Is one of the most delightful features of the ride. The ride Saturday evening is perhaps more enjoyable than one during the day. The historic points on the river are passed in moonlight, or perhaps in the twilight, that lends an ‘additional charm ;to everything, and it fs very rarely the case that one gets tired before Colonial Beach is reached. The large hotel at the. Beach is now open and ready for excursionists, so that those who take the evening trip may have the best of attention until Sunday afternoon, when the boat makes her return trip. Grace Shannon, the leading woman.aero- naut of America, has arrived in the city with her manager and will make her first ascension at River View tomorrow. Miss Shannon, since she was at River View some four years ago, has made ascensions all over the United States and Canada, and has had some very narrow escapes from death. Once, when she released her para- chute, at a height of 8,000 feet, it failed to open, and dow#i she shot, for fully half that distance, like ® rocket, then the big um- brella slowly ‘expanded and she came to the earth unkermed but somewhat nerv- ous. It is suck accidents as this that show the nerve of the! woman. Sunday's ascent at River View! will be one of the best she has ever given, and an effort will be made to go higher than she has ever gone before. The Pentz wilt leave her wharf at 11 a.m., 2:45 and 6:15 p.m. Cool breezes! always blow through the grand old shade.trees in Arlington, and many of thosé who find the city unbeara- bly hot spend a very pleasant Sunday at this beautiful! place. The electric cars which run to/Falls Church are well pat- ronized, for the ride is an excellent way to keep cool. Blectric cars leave the Aque- duct bridge every half hour for Fort Myer and Arlington; and every hour for Balls- ton, Fostoria and Falls Church from 8:30 a.m. to 11:40 p.m. Both the ocean and Sinepuxent bay, which separates Ocean City from the main- land, abound in all kinds of salt water fish. Surf bathing at Ocean City is superb. The beach is faultless and slopes so grad- ually that there is no danger of treacher- ous undertow or side currents. Yachting on Sinepyxent bay is one of the great at- tractions, while driving and bicycling on the beach and on the splendid inland roads help to make Ocean City an ideal place to Bunday.
