HAWAIIAN
HOTEL WAS
IN DANGER

At 1 o'clock this morning fire broke
out in the lanai adjoining room 81, in
the second story of the Hawaiian ho-
tel, but was confined there owing to the
early discovery of the blaze. The par
tition shutters, the woodwork, a lounge
and Sthe carpets were more or less
burned, and the mauka-waikiki end
Mr.. Young. who occupies room %, just
across from 21, and who has a lanai
section adjoining that of q, smelled
smoke, which entered his room. Seeing
the fire, he carried a pitcher of water
to the partition and dashed it through
the shutters putting out most of the
blaze. The response of other guests of
the hostelry when the alarm was
sounded, gave no chance for the fire
to make any headway, and it was soon
quenched. The room was occupied by
z. ]. Cotton, who says he entered it
after the fire was discovered. Most
of the other damage was done by wa
ter thrown about by a guest named
Howell, who carried pitchers of it from
the bathroom. AS TO the origin of the
fire it is presumed that burning
cigarette was dropped upon the lounge.
A ludicrous 'scene was presented by
most of the guests, who ran out into
the Railways attired in bath robes,
kimonos, night gowns, wrappers and
overcoats. Some OF the male guests
were satisfied with pair of pants and
a towel wrapped over their shoulders.
and few wore stockings or shoes. One
man in a room near where the blaze
started had his belongings wrapped
up in sheet, his dress suit case par
TALLY open held pitcher and the own
er awaited the signal for flight with
number of lead pencils in his hand.
The damage is not great. The hose
from the fire carts was not needed.

+ The Chicago Record-Herald

{ reports from Washington that

ton to meet him in San Francisco. This
is probably known to the Advertiser
readers before now, but has been kept a
secret here. Parker told me about it to-
day, but said that he had not mention
ed it to the reporters for mainland pa
pers.
Mr. and Mrs. Parker, Prince David and
wife. and all the little Parkers and
Campbells, are registered at the Occi-
dental Hotel. All expect to return TO
Honolulu on the steamship Alameda,
which sails on February 10. They expect
a royal welcome when they land on the
shores of Hawaii. and will be prepared
for it.
NV last dispatches to Advertiser told
of the published kilograms of the Asso-
ciated Press from Washington and New
York, stating that Governor Dole had
been asked to resign, and that sam Har-
ker had been appointed in his stead or
would be appointed in fortnight. These
statements created intense interest all
over the country as, despite the many
false and concocted stories against ms
character, which have been set afioat by
his enemies the upright soul and able
mind of the leading statesman OF Ha"ah
are deeply respected in this country
Two davs after these anti-Dole articles
came a dispatch from Chicago which
threw cold water on Parker's chances. al
though Il made Prince David the author
ity for the optimistic beliefs OF MS
friends.
This put different complexion of af-
fairs. and all the editors here noted in
their date books that Parker was return
ing here, and must be interviewed. How
ever. Prince David and his wife arrived
from the East day ahead Of the Par
kers and Miss Campbell and Miss Chrys-
tai the young welded pair stealing a fe"
hours from the others TO make sweeter
their honeymoon.
When the Prince came, the Call had
the following the next morning:

daughter Of the late ]. a. Campbell Of
Honolulu. 20 whom he was married in
San Francisco a few weeks ago, arrived
from the East last evening. They are
on their way back to the Islands, after
an extended honeymoon trip through the
Eastern States. and during their stay
in town are occupying apartments at the
Occidental.
Prince and Princess Kawananakoa
were married the day after Mrs. Camp
bell. mother of the Princess. became the
bride of Samuel Parker They all depart
ed for the East together, and during
their stay in Washington, D. c, publicity
was given to the statement that Parker
was likely 70 be honored with the Office
Of Territorial Governor OF Hawaii as
successor to Governor Sanford 3. Dole
Prince David was questioned about the
matter last evening, and while declaring
that he had no official knowledge on the
subject, expressed the opinion that the
statement was correct.
I really know no more about the mat
ter than Parker" he said.

~E HE following letter by our special
Z correspondent was sent four days
- before the above dispatch:
WASHINGTON, D. c., February L

of Hawaii? That is the question
great many people are asking here in
Washington, but just at the present
date they cannot answer with any
mere certainty than can the people ot
Honolulu Some remarkable things
denial from the White House, referred
to in my telegraphic dispatch by the
last steamer. has befogged the situa-
ton. But whether Col. Parker becomes
Governor or not the future historian OF
Hawaii will have an unusual incident
to record
Col. Parker left here Tuesday last for
San Francisco, where he expected to
meet Mr. George r. Carter. He had
telegraphed Carter to come by the first
steamer from Hawaii, so that he ought
to land in Frisco by February II.
There, according to the program, they
are to confer about Hawaiian matters,
as the apparently reliable word is here
about the Presidents offer to Col. Par
ker. of the Governorship of the Ter
ritory. and of the Presidents tender
to Mr.. Carter of the secretaryship.
There is a report that the President
personally wrote to Mr.. Carter about
the secretaryship. and that his accept
ance of that office is the desideratum
before the President will appoint Col.
Parker Governor When Col. Parker
left here he told his friends that he
might return to Washington about
February II or is.
There are many here who believe
that Col. Parker is still in line for the
governorship, although the President
word that he has not selected anybody,
of course, must be accepted. Notwith-
standing the denial, however. the con-
viction is strong that there was a
change of front somewhere. The inside
facts are that there was an interview
between President Roosevelt and Col.
Parker over ten days ago. at which
one other gentleman was present out
of that interview Col. Parker, at least.
got the impression that he was to be
the next Governor of Hawaii. Some
think the other gentleman present was
Secretary Cortelyou, and some say it
was a senator, but at any rate il can
be stated that the other gentleman
did not talk about what transpired be-
tween them and President Roosevelt.
According to the stories that came
from the inside and which bore every
mark OF reliability, the President con-
versed in his usual vigorous tones and
Col. Parker. by no means feeble lung
ed. talked a note or two higher. And
further, as the stories from the inside
go. the President not only asked Col.
Parker to accept the governorship but
urged him to do so.
After the Presidents official denial
your correspondent obtained from an
entirely authoritative source a state
ment that Col. Parker's fool friends
were responsible for getting him into
difficulty. This same authority in
formed Your correspondent that the
statements of these friends had hurt
him with the President and might
block his nomination entirely. 1t can
be said with equal reliability that Col
Parker did not himself talk with news

The suggestion has been made by one of
the teachers that an annual exhibition be
inaugurated OF the work of the city schools;
that 1t be held down town, where II may
be convenient to all, and especially that
the children be encouraged to attend II. So
much of the regular work is now being done
on paper and with ink that ample speci-
mems might be selected without any extra
effort. There are now being carried in the
various grades a variety Of work that is so
little understood by the majority Of school
patrons that It frequently meets with the
criticism Of being superfiuous instead Of
the encouragement and appreciation hat It
deserves.
Many other efforts are being made among
the pupils that are wholly Misunderstood
by many parents, and It is believed that II
the results OF this training, together with
the various steps as accomplished in the
different grades, might Be exhibited and
intelligently explained to the patrons,
teachers and pupils would receive their
much-needed announcement and help in
place Of the frequently severe criticism
that they now have. 1T would be a reve-
lation to a good share OF the parents.

In Omaha Public Schools

The severe weather has brought a serious
teachers of the city schools. not only in
necessitating the absence Of many Of the
poorer children, but In bringing to their at
tention the suffering OF the many little
ones, too young to be in school, that are
In a large measure their charges. In
a modest way the teachers are each year
doing a missionary work among the poor
Of their respective districts that not only
saves the sensitive feelings Of many who
are in temporary distress, but In quietly
providing for the children of less deserving
and at the same time stimulating their
pride to do for themselves. How much
has been accomplished by the efforts OF
the teachers no one but themselves can
appreciate or understand.
In speaking OF this work a principal Of
one OF the large schools on the south side
said the other day. soon as the cold,
snowy weather begins / so carefully over

Ghen these children are absent we visit
their homes and see to 1t that they are
made as comfortable as possible and re-
turned to school. To accomplish this We
frequently have to elothe a entire fam
lily, as the garments will be passed on Il
other members In spite Of u.s."
A large degree OF pride exists among
the teachers, too, in the care Of these poor
families, but the cheerful eaRnestness with
which many OF them have trudgsd through
the snow during the last week, from IN,

thing more than pride. One principal II
the north part OF the city reported twenty.
seven children. all under IL years Of age
and all cousins who are being clothed an'
partly fed through the efforts OF the teach
ers and pupils OF her school. In anothe,
north side school the principal, with sever

OF late mending and making over clothing
that has been brought In to suit the neees
stiles. In several cases garments have beel
exchanged for those from another neigh
borhood that they might not be recognize
by the children.

been done In all Of the schools. even Wker
Il Is necessary. but there are teW build
