a Strong Biz re.

The fire alarm sounded last night
at 9 o'clock causing some excitement
at the Opera House. The fire was
in cottage at Kewalo occupied by
Caries,a Portuguese and family. The
parents we're absent from the home
where two young children only re-
mained.
The curtains caught fire from
candles lighted at the shrine of the
Holy Ghost. The engine was
promptly on the spot but as there is
no hydrant in tie vicinity it took
some time to get water from another
direction. A very large number of
people gathered watching the house
being burnt to the ground. Nothing
was saved. Fortunately no other
houses we're iguited.

Hawaiians Meet.

The political convention called
by the Hui Kalaiaina and Hui
Aloha Alma nat this morning at
Progress Hail. About forty dele.
gates were present and all districts
were represented. j. Kalauokalani
presided at the meeting. The OBJ
ject of the meeting was to decide
what attitude the Hawaiians ought
to take in regard the local politics
of the territory and especially as re-
CARDS the FIRST territorial election.
j. Kalauokalani, president of the
Hui Kalaiaina; j. X. Kaulia, presi-
dent of the Hui Aloha Alma, and r.
w. Wilcox all spoke in eloquent
language in favor of leaving nation
al issues alone aud forming an in
dependent party. 1t was evident
that this view was shared by all the
delegates.
The convention is in session again
this afternoon.

These are the words addressed by
Queen Liliuokalani to the conveu-
tion of Hawaiians who presented
their respects to her at Washington
Place, after their first meeting had
taken recess shortly before noon
to-day. About forty Hawaiians re-
presenting every district in the ISL
ands were present and listened TO
the wise words OF the Queen words
which they carry home to their con-
stituents. The words set at rest for
ever any thought Of the restoration
of the Independence OF Hawaii nei
which may still linger in the hearts
of some, to whom the wish is father
to the thought.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1900-06-06

We anticipate that the words Of
the Queen will be construed by the
Advertiser as meaning that the Ha.
waiians ought to join the Republi-
can party, but the Hawaiians will
construe the words to mean that
their duty is to be loyal to the Stars
and Stripes and show their loyalty
by devising the best means for the
advancement of the welfare of the
Territory OF Hawaii That purpose
can best be attained by leaving ma
tional politics alone until we obtain
Statehood, and to avoid political
wrangling and devotipg all our
energy to secure good and honest
government for the Territory. To
that end the Hawaiians will vote for
men they trust and know, men whom
they consider the best for the fur
therance OF their interests. Such
men may be found in the ranks OF
the Republicans and 10 those OF the
Democrats, and if so they will re-
ceive the Hawaians' votes, not be-
cause they belong to the parties
mentioned, but because they are
considered the best men for Office
and good American citizens.

Papa" asked Pauline, "do you believe
in telepathy?"
mo, I do not" replied M. Bergeret.
''That is pity. Why don't you believe
in ft?"
Because 1t is not a science. Much Is
needed before the facts relating to it can
be regarded as scientific. A scientific
fact is one which can eitLer be reproduc-
ed or foretold under fixed conditions. But
I am firing you. Pauline"
mo, papa"
Scientists foretell or reproduce. Thus
eclipses are foretoId by astronomers. An
eclipse is a scientific fact. 1t Is an equal
ly scientific fact that gold dissolves un-
der certain conditions, since we know
that a dissolution of this metal takes
place whenever it Is plunged into a mix
ture Of nitric acid and chlorohydric acid.
The first of these facts takes place In
| conformance with the predictions of as
tronomers; the second fact can be repeat
ed or reproduced in laboratories at the
will Of the operators. Both these facts
are scientific. In other words, natural
| phenomena become scientific just as soon
! as they let themselves be tanned or do
mesticated. Until then they are savages
| In unexplored regions and ever unknown
| lands Science considers the relations Of
| things. Any fact of which the relations
are not clear remains a stranger to It.
! And truly one must ignore the most es-
essential conditions of method In order
| to reproach chemist or a psychologist
with neglecting such or such as a fact
which Is not allied to those that he Is
| studying.
! NOW these facts, whether carefully or
| carelessly observed, which relate to tele-
pathy-that is to say, to the communica-
! ton of thought at distance-are not at
| present capable Of being formed into q
| body Of doctrine. The facts which, like
! these, escape or elude science are numer-
Gus, or rather innumerable. Compared
| with them scientific facts are only very
small squadron squadron admirably
marshaled, no doubt, and one which
marches in good order, but still ridicu-
| lousy small-a regiment of pigmies fac
| ing legion. Truly the unknown Is great.
| and it is probable that certain parts Of
! this unknown will enter into our knowl-
| edge. Whether telepathy will ever take
it's place there I do not know, and 1t
would be unreasonable either to affirm or
| deny 1t.
But If men have really the faculty of

Wash silks can be bought In so many

endless varieties of colorings and designs.

went to sleep. During his slunber he
saw his friend for the third time. Pale,
bloodstatned and disfigured, the latter
stood before him and uttered these la
mentable words: Woe to you. i'm
plored you to help me and yet you did
not come. Now the deed is done and all
that remains for you is to avenge me.
At sunrise you will meet at the gate Of
the city a wagon full of rubbish. Stop
it and demand that it be empt1ed. You
will find my body hidden at the bottom
See that + am properly buried and that
my murderers are punished!'
''An apparation so persistent, story so
serious did not allow of any further hesl-
tation. The friend got up, ran to the
city gate found the wagon and arrested
the driver, who seemed to be uneasy
about something. Then the wagon was
searched and the body Of the victim
was discovered.

harmonize best with her coloring are
deep cream and pale pink. The brunettes
will find olive green and reddish purple
among the most becoming colors, and for
lighting up shades In dull old rose and
primrose yellow. She says red for
blondes, and blush shades Of purple. To
brilliant blondes give the grays; stone
blue looks well on ashen blondes. Pinks
and green's have the preference over sky
blue when light colors are used. There
are at present such variety of exquisite
shades In the new pastel colors that this
list could be enlarged to advantage.
Many of the hats this spring are made
entirely of different shades of taffeta on
a straw foundation, though not at all
like the stitched taffeta hats that were
worn so much last winter. One was of
three colors, beginning with a crown of
pastel pink, next a greenish gray and
near the face was a soft blue, laid In
small folds. 1t is needless to say that
this, to be a success, must be of exactly
the shades to harmonize. The trimming
was large bunch of blush grapes
(Which, by the way, are very popular this
spring., and these shaded into the tones
of the hat. Truly beautiful motif One
hat. which was indeed a work of art, was
made of pink straw, that IS, the brim;
the crown was formed of pink crushed
roses. Around the brim was a fall of
cream lace, while the front of the hat
was held up by large bow of pink taf-
feta, and at the top and under the brim
were fastened pink roses, making a real
rosebud of a hatl Another hat, to be
worn over the face, was of soft yeIlowish
straw, with black ostrich feathers and
black velvet ribbon around the. crown,
fastened by a buckle in front Still an
other was made Of plated blue straw,
with choux of blue velvet and chiffon Of
different shades.

grafton Bossuet pronounced. Here Is
what the author Of Les Genies Assist
ants says:
Nine. Hamilton was much attached TO
the Princess Of England She lodged at
the Palais Royal, and was always ready
to wait on Madame when the latter was
about to retire for the night On this oc-
caston, as it was two hours after mid
night, she sent page to find out IL the
princess would not soon leave the game
IN which she was engaged. The page in
order to reach Madame, crossed the
garden, and near the large fountain he
saw funeral procession. This seemed
extraordinary to him, yet he concluded
that the procession had not chosen the
route without good reason, and that mon
sieur had granted the necessary per-
mission to go through the garden Think
ing thus, he went on his way, and was
not very much disturbed When he
reached madames apartment he inquired
If the game would last much longer Her
attendants told him that 1t was almost
finished and he went back at once to In
forni Nine. Hamilton When he reached
the fountain, however he noticed that
the funeral procession was in exactly the
same place where he had seen 1t before
His curiosity being aroused by this
strange occurrence, he approached the
motionlesS assembly, and saw that all
those who composed it had faces like
monsters. Seized with mortal terror he
ran trembling to Nine Hamilton's apart
ment and, meeting an attendant there he
said to him: My friend I am dead /
am going to lie down. Pray tell Nine
Hamilton that madame is on the point OF
retiring. Do not say q word about me,
and when you return come to my room.
The attendant gave the message to
Nine. Hamilton and then hastened to the
pages room The latter, who was in
high fever, told him what he had seen
and begged him to say nothing about 1t.
The attendant however, thought 1t bet
ter to inform Nine Hamilton and she
thereupon visited the unhappy page and
learned from him all the details of the
frightful vision. fortnight later
madame was suddenly taken sick after
drinking a cup of chocolate and she died
so quickly that Paris heard of her death
before 1t knew she was sick. Nine. Ham.
ilton felt convinced that the apparition
Of a funeral procession to her page in the
garden of the palace was All announce
ment Of this death.
ST confess" added M Bergaret, "that
love these wonderful stories, though /
do not believe In them. 1t Is weakness
of mine. I hide it. and 1 will force my
self to conquer It, Ore should strive to
love nothing but the truth.
Moreover, one should fear to do any
thing that might give fresh stimulus
to superstition. 1t Is q shame that In
our day the in1becile visions of little coun-
try girls, whose pretended visions are the
result Of hallucinatons, should be oc-
cupying the attention Of a host Of men,
and 1t is a shame that people should talk
about them and write about them an6
that the press should give wide publicity
to such nonsense as this.

as one Of the friends fell asleep he saw
his companion before him and heard him
announce in anguish that his host had
formed plan to assassinate him. Come
and help me. Make haste said the ap
partition. The sleeper, awakened by what
he had seen and heard. thought that he
had been fooled by a dream and went to
sleep again. His friend, however, ap-
peared second time and conjured him
to hurry, because the murderers were en-
tering his room. Much troubled now and
exceedingly surprised by the persistency
of the vision, the sleeper arose and re-
solved to go to his friends assistance.
Reason, however, and fatigue got the bet
