NOT AN INCENDIARY.
Manager OF Queen Hotel, Fright
ened hy Oil Stains.

| There was CONSERVATION in the
| Queen hotel yesterday morning ant
c. Klemme the manager became sc
wrought up about the matter that he
| sent for Il police officer.
1t seems that upon getting up in the
| morning and going down stairs he dis
covered signs of what he thought to
be the work of an incendiary cut short
| in his operations by the appearance on
the scene of second party. All the
way from the sidewalk downstairs, up
the stairs, and into the hallway above
to the very last room back, was a trail
of oil which appeared as if it had just
been poured a short time before dis
covery
Klemme called for the officer at once,
saying in the telephone message that
something very grave had happened.
Upon arrival the officer took off his
coat and began TO examine for foot
prints which would indicate the direc-
ton the incendiary had taken. The
whole corps of Japanese servants EN-
ployed at the hotel was sent for to
assist in the investigation.
The very last one said that at seven
o'clock he had gone through the hall
way where the oil was discovered and
nothing was on the floor at the time.
However be had gone to the back room
and had there seen an oil stove on a
table. Later he had heard the noise
of footsteps of a person who seemed
to be carrying a heavy burden.
1t turns out that the room in ques-
tion is occupied by man by the name
of Goodwin He had sold the oil stove
in question to Ludloff, an old soldier
who chose to take it away early in the
morning without saying anything
about it. The purchaser had probably
been careless about the way he carried
the stove and in this way brought
about all the trouble that has been re-
ferred to above.

ANNEXATION is BOOMING.
Natives More Favorable to Cause
Than Ever Before.

Nothing special on the revived an
neXation movement was received from
Hawaii by the Kinau. There has been
hardly time for the forces to get To-
gether and take action since the cir
culars were sent out from general
headquarters recently. From unofi-
cial reports it would appear that Ha-
wall and Maui are exceedingly promis-
ing fields. The natives on those ISL
ands are more favorable to the move
ment than ever before and many who
have thus far held aloof will sign. On
Kauai much more is yet to be done.
No system of enrolment has ever been
employed there, and the original an
nexation clubs have not met in some
time. However, there is every pros
pect of powerful annexation rally on
that island in the near future
On Oahu, success has been almost
phenomenal. At headquarters it is
stated that most of the outer districts
have already called for extra blanks
At Kaneohe and other places the en-
culations. In the city a marked
.change since 1898 in the native Ha-
waiians is noted, and the new roll will
show a general endorsement of the
move by them.

plaster wall on the Waikiki and makai
sides has no plaster in it, The walls
on the two street sides are all right
and have met the approval of the own
er. The other sides, however, he says,
is mixture of little lime with sand,
forming mortar which is soft, and
will not stand rain.
Seen about the matter, Mr.. Wolter
said: Il have refused to accept the TWO
walls from my contractor. / want

composition used is so soft that a per-

FREAKS OF THE MISSOURI.

Disappeared Overnight.

In St. Nicholas Frank ii. Spearman has
paper entitled "A Shifting Boundary"

has of suddenly changing its boundaries.

freaks of the Missouri river-the big

mountain waters roll down in mighty

railroads, astonishes the muskrats, keeps
the fish studying guideposts, worries the

INoA CURRY.
A Hot Weather Use of the Condiment Not
Generally Known to Americans.

A Hot Weather Use of the Condiment Not
Generally Known to Americans.
The use of that wholesome condiment,
curry powder, in the average American
family is becoming greater each year. This
powder has been in general use in Eng
land since the days of Warren Hastings,
and Englishmen have become very fond of
it, some sprinkling the curry from holder
as an American would pepper upon his
food. People living whore the heat of the
climate makes 1t necessary TO use stimu
lating condiments in their viands learn
quickly TO like curried dish or anything
with this powder in it.
Perhaps IL is not generally known that
slices of cold meat or fowl heated in a well
seasoned curry sauce and served for lunch.
con on hot summers day are better for
the stomach than the cold meats alone. A
curry powder is used with great success
in seasoning fish sauces and vegetable
dishes as well as meats, and little of this
powder in soups adds to their flavor.
A curry powder is pulverized very fine
and smooth and usually is prepared with
the following spices Twelve ounces of tu-
meric, an ounce of cayenne pepper half
an ounce of black pepper, the same OF
Iaprika, ounces of ginger, half an ounce
each of cardamom seed, cummin seed,
mace and cinnamon and ounces of corr.
ander seed A bottle of the best imported
India curry powder may be purchased at
small expense and will retain its strength
for long while If kept closely corked,
rolled in thick paper or put in dark
place.
In the East Indies, where curries are SO
successfully made, an acid fruit Is COM
monty and cocoanut Is always used with
the other ingredients, which would seem
unusual to us, who are accustomed to as
sociating cocoanut with delicate cakes and
dainty buildings
Here is one recipe for India curry Break
open cocoanut, save the milk and CRATE
half the nut meat Pour over this half a
cup of fresh milk and the cocoanut milk
and let them stand in cool place several
hours. Take a boiled fowl and cut it into
pieces of the proper size, removing the
skin and bones and sprinklng the flesh
lightly with salt. Cut good sized onion
into small pieces and put it into frying
pan with tablcspoonfuls of butter; cook
five minutes: add half a chopped green
pepper and cook five minutes longer; stir
in tablespoonful of -four and teaspoon
fuls of curry powder and stir until it is
frothy; slowly add pint of the liquid in
which the chicken was cooked, after re
moving the grease carefully. Now press
the milk from the grated cocoanut and
add it to the other ingredients with tea
spoonful of sugar. Allow these TO cook
slowly ten minutes. Put into saucepan
the prepared meat and strain the curry
sauce over it; add the juice Of half lem
on; cover the pan and let the contents just
| bubble for 20 minutes; then serve. "A few
raisins or pieces of apricots are frequently
| added with the other ingredients; then the
sugar and lemon may be omitted. New
