block OF Hotel street, and Chief
Thurston devoted his attention to ad-
jacent buildings on Kekaulike and Ho-

kea street on the mauka side, but
was confined to the one block on the
makai side.
Meanwhile the terror of the residents
was intense. That all escaped with
their lives seems Impossible, but in the
confusion there is no chance to verify
rumors. Men and women saved what
they could and camped on sidewalks
and in vacant lots. Fully 500 orientals
are homeless, and five times that num-
Der fed in terror, dragging everything
from tea pot to sewing machine
after them.
The Winston block in which the fire
started and which is total loss, cost
$1s,oO0 and was insured for more than
$4,000. Mr.. Winston was one Of the
first on the ground, and he said that
the fire spread with alarming rapidity.
He knew that some Of his tenants were
insured. but he had asked insurance
men to keep away. This block extended
-hree-fourths of the way along the
Eva block Of Hotel street and the en-

Aristocratie Japanese Actors.

In japan there is an aristocracy
of actors. None can belong to 1t
unless their ancestors have been ac-
tors for many generations or they
have been adopted into a great the.
atrical family. These professional
leaders enjoy special privileges. One
Of them is the right to advertise their
names over the doors OF the houses
where they play. But foreign Gus
toms are beginning to affect the
stage. In Tokyo they have got the
length of a performance down to
eight hours, though in the provinces
they still run fifteen. Generally
parts of two or more different styles
of plays run on in succession. three
or four days being thus occupied in
the one series of productions. This
is with view of giving everybody
something to their taste.

GET RID OF LUMBER.
Writer in Good Housekeeping Gives
Valuable Advice.


Give away what you don't really
need in your house. Don't let such
things accumulate. They will soon
fill attic and cellar, and overflow into
other rooms, where they do no one
any good. You are not likely to
want them again. and 1t Is nuisance
to have them around. Long ago we
should have been obliged to get .

plan of saving things, says writer

giant, but now he acknowledges that
if other families would likewise rid
themselves of truck" they are not
likely to use again in thousand
years. house cleaning would be rob
bed of half its terrors. Thrift Is a
aomely virtue that easily degenerates
into miserliness. Some of us hoard
old clothes, unused furniture, discard
ed bric-a-brac, and the like, simply be-
cause that habit has become SO fixed
we are too stingy to give such things
away to worthy folks who need them.
Yet we don't mean to be stingy, and

II there be no law to prevent mer-
ciless public assault on the character
of ones mother. wife. daughter. sister.

to be legally nsutralized? A woman s
reputation is not merchandise or
money, to be divided or adjusted in
some petty court. 1t is not thing to
be handled about, decided by jury,
analyzed by attorneys or rehabilitated

the San Francisco tragedy should be
impossible. The trouble is that they
are not. And so long as they continue

There you have your granny Put
