PORTRAITS OF CATS.
various Reasons why They Are Very
Difficult to Paint.


In speaking Of the putting Of eats
on canvas a painter Of them recently
said: They are without doubt one OF
the most difficult creatures to paint
and lamentably few artists make
success of th"if portraiture. They are
almost impossible to keep quiet, ana
the particular fluffy 'cattincss' Of their
coats is far from easy To depict I'm pig

the gift mine of wealth.

be induced to sit still only by having
her feet glued to the floor. But salts
factory results as to expression, in
which Il cats face can be particularly
eloquent, are not to be secured in this
way Those who have had reason TO
know say that even the fur of fellnes
is Indicative of several things. In
health and contcntment it stands out
flultily from their bodies, while in fear
or displcasurc it lies fiat and lankly to
the skin
Not long since n picture was placed
on exhibition of cat tapping milk,
with its tail held high Though the
technique was good and the fur really
furry the value of the whole was
practically NIL, because no cat has ever
been known to eat with its tail In the
mir. With waving tails they do indeed
rush toward the food, but with the
first lap or bite down goes the caudal
uppcndngc lower and lower, until with
Il full stomach II sweeps the ground.
In the case of young kittens IT Is often
different, however. They scramble In
to a dish of milk with their pointed,
ratlikc tails at right angles to their
rOlly poly bodies and sometimes forget
to take down this sign Of animation
and aIcrtncsS. Any one who knows
cats knows that the tail at every angle
ana with every movement is expressive
of some definite emotion"

MANY ENJOYED THE
POPULAR OPERA

An audience that filled every avail
able inch of space i'll the auditorium
of the Park Theatre, and which over
flowed into the lobby and up the bal
cOny stairs, assembled last evening To
welcome in its new production, Miss
Bob White. The great audience was
so entirely delighted with the opera
that the minute the overture began
the familiar tunes were Immediately
whistled in all parts OF the house, and
this made one feel, more than any
thing else has, that the long summer
had at last come to an end and that
the theatrical season had once more
begun. Since the buCuliC composition
was first seen here it has passed
through many changes Of dress, but
asst evening "a number of the original
tunes that served to make the work so
popular when it was originally pre-
sentcd were restored, to the great de
light OF tho audience. which manifest
ed its approval from the very first, the
encores and repetitiOns prolongiug the
entertainment until late in the even
ing. The special interest of the nc-
caslOn centred in the appearance as
Bob White of Dorothy Hunting, who
made such an Instantaneous impression
when she appeared here earlier in the
summer in 'The StrOllcrs, - which
was presented for few weeks ut the
same theatre. She is a singer of no
little distinction, with a rich, clear
voice and delightful presence, and
she sang the familiar melodies last
evening with such charming senti-
ment aud wit that it made one wish
that she might he seen in role that
was more worth while.
A dainty little doll-likc creature,
Alice DOvey, with a pretty light voice
was very effective as GoIdcnrod, and
Edith Blair, who is extremely fair to
look upon, made an ideal One Only
A Dame, Miss Autumn. The two
comedians, Neil McNeill and Frank
DeshOn, made an instantaneous i'm
preston with the large audience from

nice singing, considered with the cX-

pictures that are constantly formed,

great popularity of the piece. The
entire simplicity of the story, in which
the avOCations of daily life on farm,
such as churning, failing, swinging,
baking and the rest, are presented to
catchy airs, has won for Miss Bob
White "A place in popular fayor that

I believe he says it was accidental, but
1 never asked him to explain.
''The operation took place at pri-
vate hospital here, where L was assist
ed by a Philadelphia physician and one
from New York. I think they will be
willing to have their names known
later.
1.-The two men were placed in opposite
directions upon an elongated bed. One
half of the volunteers ear-the upper
half-was cut off, together with about
four inches of the skin behind the ear.
This was twisted around and fitted
to a freshly prepared wound upon my
patients head. The half ear was held
in place by bandages and the two men
bound so they cannot move their heads.
They must retain this position for at
least twelve days, to allow the circula-
ton to come through the flap of skin
that still remains a part of the volun-
teer's scalp.
''If this half ear starts to unite prop
erly, the lower half of the ear will be
grated in the same manner"

CHINESE
PRELATE
IS DEAD

Lay Say, High Priest of the temple
of How Wong Miu, lies IN state within
the shadow of the temple and the altars
which he has served in Honolulu for
more than quarter Of a century. The
well known Chinese died yesterday
morning after lingering illness, and
the remains will be buried this after
noon with all the pomp and ceremony
possible to muster in so short time.
The funeral procession is scheduled to
start at 2:30 from the temple on Bere-
tania street near River street.
The body of the Chinese priest was
removed from the temple shortly after
death to a room In a small structure
within the temple enclosure, and an al
tar was erected just outside, protected
from sun and rain by canvas canopies.
The priests of the temple in their robes
officiated before the deities which were
emblazoned on long scrolls, and the air
was split with the incessant screech of
Chinese f1ageolets and other celestial
musical instruments.
1t was a weird sight just before mid
night when the priests assembled be-
fore the altar where the punks were
burning and the Chinese band playing.
The pathetic side of the picture was
shown when nine or ten white robed
creatures crouched upon the ground be-
fore the altar on their knees with their
foreheads resting upon the ground.
There they remained, the widow and
family of eight children of the deceas-
ed. until the music ceased, when they
arose and went inside the room where
the priest lay in state, his spangled
robes glittering in the light of few
candles.
The widow was placed upon a coucn
and surrounded with her children, they
filed the night with their sobs and
groans. The priests meanwhile placed
a dish filed with oil and lighted wicks
AT the feet of the priest and fed the
flames with papers whose mission was
to keep evil spirits from lowering near
the body.
Lay Say was the owner Of the tenn
pie.

lowing Philadelphia telegram of Nov.
IS:
DR.. Andrew L. Nelden, of New York.
today performed the operation of graft
ing an ear upon the head of a Western
millionaire whose name the surgeon
says he is under bond not to reveal.
The operation was to have been per-
formed in New York, but District At
torney Jerome is said to have inter
fered.
Dr. Nelden advertised for a man will
ing to sell an ear for $1,000, and of 300
applicants he selected young German
who conducts a restaurant in New
York.
DR.. Nelden said today: "The opera
ton has been performed and promises
to be successful. am under legal con-
tract and heavy bond not to reveal the
name of my patient.
Generally speaking, he is wealthy
man from the West. How he lost one
ear do not know. It appears to have
been cut off with sharp instrument.
