Yesterday morning at 9:15 Supreme
Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias,
Mr. Fethers, started on a special
train to view some of the scenes out
side of Honolulu. When seen at the

expressed himself as delighted with
the trip.
Travels in Special Train.
"I enjoyed myself splendidly during
the excursion," he said. "We went
by special train and traveled in Su-
perintendent Denison s private car.
which he kindly put as our disposal.!
Mr. Denison himself went with us and
proved to be a most excellent host, j
His thorough acquaintance with ev-1
ery point and all objects of interest
also made him invaluable to us as a
guide.
"How do I like the countr"? Well,
it is simply splendid. Of course I
have seen rice fields before in Caro
lina and cane fields in Louisiana, but
I have never seen rice fields and cane
fields and taro patches and banana
fields all together in one continual
stretch, with a few palm trees to lend
variety to the scene.
Mountains Impress Visitor.
"One thine which esrjeciallv imnress
ed me was the glory of your mountains'
which, in my opinion, are simply per-
feet in beauty. The different colorings
of the mountains, the delicate shades

Flames were discovered bursting
frora the midgl of lhe three smM
frame buildings at the corner of King
and Fort street shortly before 2: SO
, o'clock this morning. William Young.
t a linotype operator, was going home
from his work on The Republican

i He immediately ran to the police sta
tion and turned in the alarm. The
i department responded in fcood time

having two engines and the chemical
engine on the scene three minutes af
ter the alarm was sent in.
The flames leaped high at first and
were consuming the Fort treet side
j of J. H. West's paint shop on King
street eating into the little Chinese
Cjgar store and tailor shop next to
Tracv-S furnishm" store on Fort
street
A couple 0f streams were soon play-
ing on the flames and had their effect.
The flames gave way' to smoke and
the smoke finally to the mere smell of
what the firewas done and all was
over. v
The Chineee store was broken open
i and the goods taken out. Things
were hurried across the street and
dumped on the sidewalk. In a very
short time the little store was empty
and the firemen had more room in
which to move. .,

Offenders Are Not Discovered.
As pretty and agile little Koyo was,
doing marvelous stunts on a long
bamboo pole balanced' on the shoulder
of the star juggler in the Japanese
Midway on King street last night, and
over five hundred little brown men
and women and a couple of hundred
white folks and Hawaiians and oth
ers were applauding with all their
might there came a rumble and a
roar from overhead which caused the
audience to tremble and the actors to
pause in their entertainment
For a moment there was confusion.
Only two people i; the great assem
blage remained perfectly calm and
self-contained. They were the jug
gler who balauced a little life on the
end of a wavering pole, and the maid
en who was so cleverly imitating th
fly in her dangerous position.
Noise Creates Confusion.
The manager rushed from behind
the scenes, made his way through the
seated crowd and disappeared through
the back door, followed by a corps of
assistants and stage hands.
Again was the ominous sound re
peated. It sounded like thunder,
louder than thunder. More people
went out. It was several minutes be
fore anyone returned to report what
was going on. In the meanwhile peo
ple forgot their fear and, supposing'
that the noise must have been ouly
that of a swiftly passing trolley car.
again turned their attention to the
play.
The manager and his assistants
busied themselves outside to ascer
tain what occasioned the unusual
noise. Plainly soms thing was going
on on the corrugated iron roof.
Recks on the Rcof.
The manager and the others stood
for a moment at the back of the tat a
ter. Here the roof sloped almost to
within eight feet of the ground, unite
at the stage end the roof was nt least
thirty-five feet from the level of the
street.
They looked expectantly up toward
the roof. Their expectations, if they
really had any. were not for nothing
The loud, rumbling noise, as of a
thousand hammers striking on iron
like a boiler yard, was again repeat id
and seemed to the watchers lo be
coming nearer. Suddenly someth:ng
dropped at' the feet of the stage man
ager and caused him to jump back
a yard or two. It was a large stone.
The raystery was explained. Stone?
were being rolled down tjie steep In
clining iron roof of the theater.
One of the stage hands hastened
back into the' building to assure tbe
people that there was no danger; that
the noise was only occasioned by
stones rolling down the roof.
An investigation was then started
to see who was responsible for the
mischief.
Stone Thrower Sought
A couple of Japanese secured a lad
der and leaned K asalnst the roof at
the back of the theater.
Then one climbed up and peer-d
over tbe edge of the iron roof, allow
ing his glance to scan the long up
ward slant of the roof, looking for
whoever or whatever might be there.
He was in great danger of being
struck by a falling -stone and was re
minded of this fact by his compan
ions. BHt he was a brave little fellow
and cared not for the risk as long as
he could lay hands on the guilty
wretches who were attempting to
break up the show by rolling rocks
down the corragaled iron roof.
He went down the ladder quicker
than he went up, however, for snd
dealy a stone hit the roof somewhere
ia the middle and he heard It come
rumbling in his direction. The Japan
ese was out of the way before the
stone arrived at the lowed edge of the
roof and tumbled onto the jeroou 1
nhrrowly missing., a. soda water and
candy hand-cart which was doing
business with people who wanted re
freshments between the acta.
Battery Behird Feeee.
It waa learned that the stones were
being thrown on to the roof by noma .
one from behind a neighboring fence, j
Immediately a nwnber of Japanese!
startled off in search of the ausrre-i
ants, it is not on record, however, i
that any of the stone throwers wer
caught. ' '
When the terrifying aoise waa first
heard in the theater a number of ue ,
spectators arose and took their de-,
partare. These, were whhe people
who. seeking entertainment and there ,
being no performance at the Or
pheum. bad taken in the Japanese
show.
As they were passing out. one of.
them remarked that the structure
looked too shaky for comfort and that
he thought the noise mlcht be made',
by the sliding of the corrugated Iron,
sheets. He said he didn't want any'
iron on his head 'and was going to :
clear out j
An Unsubstantial Building.
The building is the most unsubstan
tial affair in the city. The weight of
the roof is apparently barely support
ed by the framework. To look at the
alleged building. It would seem that
a wind of any strength would col
lapse it. "piere were seven hundred
people there last night. There would
be slaughter if the flimsy structure
should collapse. '
The Japanese are keeping a sharp
lookout for stone throwers and it will ,
go hard with the first man or hoy
caught in the set.
As for the flimsiness of the build
ing, the Japanese do not seem to
mind it Such a structure would not
be permitted to exist in any city on
the mainland however It is ex
tremel dangerous

The work accomplished by the O r
man Benevolent Society of tile Baa a
iiaa Islands was clearly set forth at
the annual meeting held yesterday
afternoon at the otBee of H. Hackf! 1
ft Company.
The organisation has many gotH
deeds to Iu score since its Inception
in these Islands, and has proven
boon to the indigent and onforrana?
of German birth who hare at aoov
time been compelled to seek friend h
administration and aid from the brn
evolent society.
Forty Years' Werfc.
Actual work waa began tn the yea
1S0. For some years following. (a
Benevolent Society was allowed t
drop and the work to languish. Dor
ing the early part of 1S79 interest in
it was again revived, and until 1390,
when the organisation was duly Incor
porated, the labor progrsmed at a
fairly progressive rate.
The society Is now established on .
firm foundation. Xowithstaudlng the
fact that during the past year, the
receipts outside of the donations were
a trifle less" than the expenses, the
report of the treasurer showed a flat
tering cash balance.
Some Liberal Donations.
i Donations of 1500 from Mrs. brine
4100 from H. J. ?otte. and 100 from
