FIRE AT SCHMIDTvS HOUSE
Fire Department Called to Put Gu
Small Blaze.
Slight Injury to Cottage at the Rear
of the Premises-No Insurance
to be Claimed.

At 6:20 last evening an alarm of
FIRE was turned in by T. P. Cum
mi1s from the house of III. w.
Schmidt on Beretania street. The
Fire Department, all eager for
some work to do after so long a pc
riod of rest, made good time to the
premises.
The back part of the roof of a
small cottage in the rear of the
Schmidt premises occupied by Mrs.
Rahe, Mr.. Schmidt's sister, was
found to be burning. The chemi-
cal engine, throwing a stream from
the Brown premises next door,
soon had the flames under control
and a few moments later COM
pletely extinguished.
T. P. Cummins was the first to
see the smoke emanating from the
roof and, after turning in the
alarm, ran into the house with
others to do what they could. Mrs.
Rahe was found in the front part
of the cottage. The men proceed
ed into the kitchen and found it
full of smoke and the part of the
roof next the chimney in flames.
This fact led to the supposition
that the fire had been started by a
defective chimney.
The only water that could be
procured on the instant, was some
found in dishpan, but the speedy
arrival of the chemical engine rem
dered searching for more unneces-
sary.
Although the cottage is COM
pletely insured, Mr.. Schmidt says
he will claim no insurance.

abandon our original plan to erect
"a building to be used for stores and
lodging rooms and join with the
merchants on their proposition,
provided they were willing to go
into the enterprise in substantial
way.
eve have agreed to this: The
cost of the lot and building of a
hotel having at least one hundred
sleeping rooms will be at least
$15O,000. The lot is ours, you
will understand, and we will build
the hotel on it provided the citi-
zens are willing to contribute, say
$25, 900. This would make our
share $125,OOO.
"When you consider the advan-
tage first-class hotel is to city;
how it adds to the attractions of a
place and the money it brings into
a community, you will readily un-
derstand to what extent all classes
of business men are benefited by.
it. i
eff the merchants succeed in
raising the amount necessary, the
hotel will be built, if not, well, we
will go on with our original plan.
The lot is central and hotel there
would be a success in time, but it
would take time to make it so"
Several business men were inter
viewed during the day and to a
man the scheme was approved.
There was only one who felt skep-
tical, and that because he believed
a hotel in Honolulu should be
erected in a locality where trees
and plants would be an attraction.

Father Magoon Cries Against
Opium-The Millennium.

John Magoon, father of the ex-
Judge is about again after a severe
attack of neuralgia. In speaking
to an ADVERTISER reporter yester-
day he said the bringing up of an
opium bill had more to do with his
getting out than the medicine he
swallowed.
The old pioneer says it is bad
enough for uncivilized nations TO Ii
cense the use of the drug, and when
it comes to an enlightened people
such as we have here in Hawaii
falling into such disgraceful
scheme it is time to look for the
millennium.

KING SEEKS A BRIDE.
Chance for a Rich American Girl
to Sit on a Throne.
Alexander of Servia Anxious to Marry q
Fortune-His Father, the Ex-King
Milan, Coming to Make the
Match for Him.

Itlooks more than probable that some
fortunate or unfortunate American
heiress will soon marry a European
ruler. Her husband-to-be is only the
sovereign of a petty kingdom, but all
the same she will be a full-fedged
queen.
Ex-King Milan, of Servia, has just an
nounced officially that he will start for
New York in May. He goes to the
United States with the express purpose
of finding an American woman with
plenty of money who would be willing
to marry the present ruler of Servia,
King Alexander.
For the exchange of her shekels it
is stipulated that the bride-to-be shall
be formally elevated TO the nobility,
after which the marriage will take
place in royal style. In contracting
this unequal matrimonial alliance eX-
King Milan is to provide that King Al
eXander secures absolute control of his
millionaire brides money.
Queen Natalie, the mother of the
royal bridegroom-to-be, evidently does
not favor this scheme of King Milan and
there is therefore bright prospect of
too much mother-in-law in this match.
But this need not discourage young
American heiresses ambitious to sit on
o European throne, for King Alexander
has not a dollar in his name and is head
over ears in debt and head over ears in
love with anyone who will help him out
of his financial straits.
The American girl who will become
King AleXander's wife will have to be
strong-minded woman who will be
able to reform her husband should any
degree of happiness be hers. An ex-at-
tache thus describes this parsonage:
king Alexander, or King SASHA as
he is nicknamed, is one of the most Of
fensive and displeasing youths that
could be found anywhere from Bos-
phorus to the banks of the Tagus. His
manners are course and brutal in the
extreme, fully in keeping with his
beetling brows, low forehead, and al
most bestial nose and jaw, while the
opinions which he vouchsafes with re-
gard to women in general are character
lied by an affectation of cynicism and
disallusion that is revolving indeed"
The future queen of Servia will also
have to satisfy the caprices of her all
but amiable father-in-law, who is an
incurable spendthrift, and whose ex-
cesses have caused his dethronement.
His was n singularly turgid, ribald,
shameless, and erratic reign. After a
long career of profligacy he deserted his
country in a most critical hour.

Senate Adjournment.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April o.
Republican senators held brief
caucus tod ny for exchange of views
on the subject Of final adjourn
ment and order OF business before
adjournment. Senator Chandler
suggested adjournment ought to
be possible May 18th and was sup
ported in this opinion by the al
most unanimous vote of the eau
Gus.
1t was the general opinion that
the appropriation bills should be
kept to the front until disposed of
and no more adjournments over
Saturday are contemplated.
Senator Sherman was author
lied as chairman of the caucus to
appoint a steering committee OF
nine to take charge OF the details as
to the order of business in case 1t

other than appropriation bills.

REMOVE THEIR HIGH HATS.
Law Generally Obeyed in Cleveland and

Law Generally Obeyed in Cleveland and
Cincinnati Theaters.
The Fosdick theater hat law of Ohio
was supposed to go into effect the other
night but the effect was not perceiva-
BILE in Cleveland, or at least it was not
the desired one. At the two leading
theaters it was noticeable that the
younger and more fashionable patrons
removed their hats, and there were fire.
Iuent murmurs of applause, In few
cases women undoubtedly sought no
toriety by wearing the most eXag-
gerated headgear.
At Cincinnati the enforcement of the
anti-high hat law began Sunday night
with notice posted by the management
of the Fountain theater directing at
tention to the law and asking the women
to assist in the enforcement of it. This
was emphasized by personal request
by the doorkeeper of each woman as she
entered. The compliance was so gen.
eral that but six Objectionable pieces of
headgear were visible when the curtain
was raised, and these were soon re-
moved.
There was some curiosity to see how
the law would be regarded at the first
class houses which gave no Sunday per-
formances, but requests from the man
agement were generally complied with.

Pittsburgh Boasts n Svengali with Mys-
FERROUS Vocal Culture Power.
A veritable Svengali has been dis
covered in Pittsburgh. He processes to
have discovered the method of perfect
voice formation, and boldly asserts his
ability to impart this knowledge, pro-
ducing at will in others perfect singing
voices. His own voice, he says, is alb
solutely perfect, and he can secure
qualities of tone and reach ringing in
scale never before heard of. The dec
laration and mysterious personality
have attracted to him a band of dis
ciples who regard him almost with
generation. His name is Hayden Tilla-
He came to the city several months ago
from Italy. One woman has left a good
church choir position in order to de-
vote her entire time to her voice culture.
She says she was formerly a mezzo-
soprano, but she now claims to be an
extraordinarily high soprano. Another
woman, who says she never sang a
note in her life until she saw Tilla, pre-
tends, without hesitation, to be now a
prima donna with a range up to high Z
fiat. Tilla says Grover Cleveland pos
sesses the proper formation of face

HIS VISIT TO EX-QUEEN.
Pupil Lytton Says He Didn't Know
How to Act.
Decribes His Call and Asks His Friends
For More Postage
Stamps.

Rev. J. P. Lytton thus describes his
visit to the ex-queen:
Last Thursday 1 called on the ex-
Queen Liliuokalani, as l had a letter
of introduction to her from her bro
ther-in-law. 1 had to ask the day be-
fore when she would receive me, and
she sent me a messenger who said Her
majesty will be glad to receive the
Rev. Mr.. Lytton at her Washington
Park residence at IL a. M
At that hour l was admitted into the
most beautiful grounds that ever sur
rounded residence I will not try to
describe it. 1t was just like an ideal
fairy land with all those tropical trees,
plants and flowers. Liliuokalani still
was met at the door by her LADY in
waiting and informed that her maj
esty was expecting me. Not being ac-
customed to associate with queens, in
fact never having seen one, 1 did not
know exactly what to do on this occa
sion. But when l was introduced to
the dethroned queen of the Hawaiian
Islands, she made me feel at ease in a
moment. The drawing room was a
picture of simple and rich elegance.
The divan on which the queen sat was
valuable enough to pay my salary the
balance of my life! 1 stood before her
for a second not knowing just what |
was expected to do, of course she did
not get up from her seat, but she
stretched forth her hand for me to
shake, and motioned me to a seat by
her side, and said she was glad to meet
friend of her brother. Then l felt at
home, and remained there in CONVEX
sation with her for quite while.
She is dark colored mot black as all
the Hawaiians are. But she has all
the dignity and bearings of queen.
The newspapers have told an awful lot
of lies about that unfortunate woman.
She is not coarse in look or manner.
She is gentle in every word and look
and one cannot be near her, and see
tn expression of her face without feel
ing that she has the firmness of a
queen, and the warm heart of woman.
saw her again at church yesterday
afternoon, and she was very pleasant
to me. She is now a member of our
church. She has been accused of vim
dictiveness towards those who dethron-
ed her, but such is not the case. She
speaks in the kindest manner of
President Dole, and never an angry
word against anyone. In future let
ter will give you my ideas of the poll
teal situation here. l send my regards
to all friends. Will you please remind
them that the postage to Honolulu is 5
cents, and if not prepaid double post
| age is collected here. I received this
morning two letters which cost me Is
! cents, and one of the letters was a bill!
Please prepay all postage on papers.
