FIRE ON NuuANu AVENUE.


Last evening shortly after six o'clock
a house just beyond the first bridge,
Nuuanu avenue, owned by Mr. James
Campbell, and occupied by Mr.. Hugh
Mcmillan, engineer at the Honolulu
Iron Works, was discovered to be on
fire. Mr.. and Mrs. Mcmillan went
out at six o'clock, leaving lamp burn
ing in one of the back rooms, and it
is supposed that the lamp exploded.
This theory is supported by the fact
that the first intimation of the fire was
given by native rushing out from
premises adjacent shouting, "Kukup
Qamp) A policeman blew his whistle
vigorously by way of alarm, which
brought Mr.. C. b. Reynolds, officer Of
the Board of Health, and other neigh
bors to the spot. They worked hard
with utensils and a garden hose to sub
due the flames, which had spread all
over the bedroom and dining room
into which the rear of the cottage is
divided. The pressure of water was
not strong enough to send the stream
to the ceiling, SO that although the fire
that was in sight was put out the
flames got into the attic. Mr.. Thomas
Spence, who went out to telephone
that there was no necessity for an
alarm being sounded, on coming back
saw fire coming through the roof and
hurried back to renew the call for an
alarm. In the meantime those who
had collected began getting out the
furniture and most of it was soon piled
up in the garden.
An alarm was first rupg from the
bell of Engine Company No. 4, Nuu-
anu street, quickly followed by the
loud tones of the Tower bell. The
Volunteer Boys from the Bell Tower
with their hose reel were the first of
the brigade to reach the spot They
put on stream from the hydrsnt close
by, giving way to Engine No. a that
quickly arrived with steam up. En-
CINE No was not far behind and
attached to the hydrant at the corner
of NnuanI avenue and School street
The Hook and Ladder Company were
early on the spot with their indspensa-
bic gear Company No. did not
take their engine out, but their mem
bers were on hand in good force, to-
gether with those of China Company
The house was deluged with several
heavy streams, pressure having been
applied, but not till holes were cut in
the roof was the last vestige of fire ex-
tinguished. Chief Engineer Wilson
directed operations.
Mr. Mcmillan heard the clamor OF
| fire from a house on Fort street, where
he and his wife were visiting, and com
ing out saw the reflection but did not
know it was his cottage till he got neal
the place. Bedsides the destruction o.
the bedroom furniture, there wa:
doubtless good deal of damage done
in removing the rest. The house i:
damaged several hundred dollars
worth, insurance unknown at this writ
ing. There is policy of $1,000 on
the furniture. The latter was of a
valuable class, including some expen-
sive pictures, but in the confused heap
lying in the mud and rain it was impCs-
slble last night to estimate the amount
of injury sustained.

Kicked by a Ho. o.

A little boy named Stayner, three or
four years of age, whose father works
at Mr. Morgan's on King street. was
kicked in the forehead by Hon. John
"A. Cummins' horse on the Palace
grounds Saturday. The child was
standing in charge of his sister at the
front of the crowd, when the horse
kicked up on being spurred and hit
him over the left eye. Dr. Trousseau
being near was called by Capt. Tell
and found that the wound, though
bleeding freely, did not reach the bone.

A coal passer was turned off the
steamship Australia just before she
sailed last night. He had to seek
shelter at the Police Station, being
without money. His story is that the
engineer was harsh with him because a
sore leg untitled him for work, and
that he talked back to the engineer, for
which the latter put him off here.

Mr.. Barrett and Louis James.

W
Lawrence Barrett is playing at the capital
this week. The true story how he came to
part with Louis James and Marie Vain.
wright has never been told in print, but it
is interesting nevertheless. Mr.. Barrett is
very shrewd advertiser. He knows the
value OF newspaper advertising especially,
and while apparently he never seeks notices
of this kind. yet he is ever on the alert to
avail himself of this kind of printers ink
Now Mr.. Barrett had been noticing for some
time that whenever his company reached q
new town the papers would blossom with a
long interview with Louis James, putting
that actor to the skies and highly lauding
his Intention to inaugurate ShakeSperian
revival next season. A very modest notice
of Mr.. Barrett and the remainder of the
company which usually followed these
grandiloquent efforts did not assuage the
tragedian's dlspleasure by any means.
Now it appears that the iron had also
entered Mr.. James soul for the reason that
Mr.. Barrett would not allow either him or
his wife Miss Wainwright to know or
associate with the members of his family.
Matters went on in this waS for some time.
Finally one day when both men were at
loggerheads, James impetuously rendered
his resignation and that of his wife. In an
instant Barrett exclaimed. II accept it."
Mr.. James was at that time receiving $500
week This bit of theatrical gossip is
said to be the true reason of the separation
of the parties.

Rich people sometimes have strange
hobbies. Mrs. Jeanette NJ. Thurber. of
New York, who was in town last week to
see some Philadelphians who are interesting
themselves IN the American opera, is a
wealthy woman with trying and costly
hobby. 1t is, of course, national opera.
She wishes to. and it is to be hoped will. go
down in history as the person who did more
than any other for the founding of an
American lyric stage. She has, so far. for
the furtherance of the enterprise, eOntri-
buted 500. 600 out of her private fortune.
Besides she gives TO il now twelve or fifteen
hours of her time almost every day. EN-
plOying four secretaries in the dispatch of
business. She has obtained the co-opera-
ton of some of the wealthiest ann most
busineSS-minded men of the country. and is
hopeful of shortly placing the enterprise on
a solid basis by having all the stock taken
up. She has extraordinary organizing ca
pacity. Withal, she is uncommOnly beauti-
full, brunette, who looks thirty, with great
melting black eyes, a graceful carriage and
vivaciOus manners. She is fine linguist
and. of course, very highly educated musi-
cally. Her parents were rich and her hus-
band is regarded as one of the wealthiest
grocery men of New York.

An Ameriean-Bred Rose.
Boston Herald.


There is new American rose and it
owes its creation to Mr.. George Bancroft,
the historian. You can get one of Boston
florist for S1.50. 1t is a wonderful flower,
dark pink in color, surprising the Jacque-
minOt in effioreScent richness. 1t is called
the American Beauty. and has thus far
been grown only in Washington. 1t is
sent from there to all large cities. Put SIS
worth of these buds and the JacqueminOts
mixed in a large vase and YOU have the rose
in its highest develOpement of beauty.
The first florist to cultivate it was an old
fellow who takes care of the flowers about
Mr.. Bancroft's residence on ii street. As
soon as the other florists saw il they saw
that it was worth fortune 10 them. and
now they are asking fabulous sums for the
few cuttings they part with. 1t is a flower
that Will be in universal demand as soon as
II Is known. Its name is perhaps proper
enough. but think it should be called the
Bancroft rose. L do not see why the old
historian, who loves his flowers so well,
should not have his name attached to this
sumptiOus flower from his garden as well as
TO the volumes OF his history.

what One OF ''The QuaIity'' Sees on
aJaunt i'm an .'OuIside Carr


Ireland's picturesqueness lies in its coast
scenery, says a writer in the English Illus
trated Magazine. Its center is mostly
dead level of bog or pasture land. There
are few or none of the smiling harvest fields
which make England so pretty; the climate
refuses to grow cereals, and, alas! the peo-
pie have not the persistent industry re-
quired for cultivated farming. Neat hedge
rows, well-kept woodlands, good roads.
and, above all. the sweet. contented-look-
ing villages and hamlets that one sees con-
tinually in England, must not be looked for
here. Yet it was a green and pleasant
country that we swept through-no, crawled
through-ITish railways always crawl
and, reaching our station at last, we
mounted. defiant of old time. the familiar
outside car, with its lively Irish pony. Ex-

drive across the country IN an outside car,

cause they don't want to break them, or else
they are relics or lucky pieces. Opera

pawnbroker's place is veritable old curl
oSity shop"
''HOw do you like the business?"
Certainly it has its unpleasant features,
as when some poor creatures want a large
loan on an article of small value, probably
to keep the wolf from the door, Then
some people look down on our occupation.
OF course, like every other business, it has
its black sheep. but you will find many
honorable, honest men engaged in ii. An
other thing, too, you probably don't know
We are among the best aids the police
have, and many thief has been brought
to justice who would have escaped
but for the honest pawnbroker.
You hear a good deal about the
superhuman shrewdness of New York and
Chicago detectives-how soon after the rob-
berry of jewelry store they arrest crimi-
nails and recover the stolen property. The
fact is, without information furnished by
the pawnbrOkers the detectives would be as
blind as anybody else. In those cities
every pawnbroker daily sends to the chief
of police detailed account of the articles
he has taken i'll pledge, including descrip-
ton of the person, his residence and other
notable points that would afford a clue
should the stuff prove to have been stolen.
All detective has to do when theft is
reported is to watch these lists, and nine
times out of ten he will find where the
thief has disposed of his spells. He has
then, of course, pretty big clue to work
on to catch the criminal. So the profess
sion has some claims on the public. Well,
yes. the profits are rather big, but few of us
become rich"

Testimonial of Clippings.

WASHINGTON. April 1O.-A number of
prominent 1rishmen now in Washington,
whose homes are in different parts of this
country, met tonight and resolved to pre-
pare a testimonial to Gladstone and Parnell
in the shape of two mammoth albums,
identical in all respects. In these albums
they propose to collect the editorial
writings of American newspapers pub
lished since Mr.. Gladstone's an
nouncement of Thursday, in the
House.of Commons. For this purpose they
desire every newspaper published in cities
in the United States having a population
of 10, 900 and upward to send two copies
of their issues containing editorial COM
ments upon Gladstone's speech TO j. w,
O'Connell, Washington. Such newspapers
as are not voluntarily contributed
will be procuaed by pur-
chase. Among the gentlemen who were
present tonight were represented
William WOODBURY. yf Nevada, John
Keogh. j. d. O'Connell and Emmett
Eurelle of New York. Hugh j. NOLAN of
California. Gen. A. G. Mallery of Texas,
Felix Brannigan of Mississippi, Frank
Curke and James Ryan of Washington.
LOOKING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
NEW YORK, April 1O.-Patrick Ford,
editor of the Irish Warld, sends tee follow
ing to the AssOciatep Press:
NEW YORK, April IO.-In alleged newspa-
per intervi ews which are fabrications my
attitude toward Irish home rule is repre-
sented in a false light. Instead of antago-
niZing Gladstone ovel lures, 1 rejoice that
a statesman of his influence aud genius has
the courage to command the British empire
to halt and about face in its Irish policy. His
measures fall far short of what conceive to
be demanded by justice or sound policy, but
he is looking in the right direction. and with
Parnell's amendments his program should,
and think will command the considerable re-
gard of the Irish race. PATRICK FORD.
