+" OPEN DOOR" OF
THE KENTUCKY

! t'The Open Door, the monthly pub
lication published regularly aboac
the flagship Kentucky by Mcleod &
Lowman, will probably be issued to.
morrow morning before the fleet sails
The issue will be largely devoted tt
the visit of the fleet to Honolulu anC
will be replete with cuts and goot
reading matter.
: The leading editorial tells of the re-
ception of the fleet in Honolulu as
follows:
was uneventfu1 until two days out
from the latter place when at 3:45 d.
m. we sighted the four cruisers about
fifteen miles to the north'ard and in
a short time after they were in line
with the battle ship squadron, this
movement taking place within an hour
of the time prearranged by Admiral
Evans. Tuesday at 10:00 a. m we
We're anchored in the harbor and later
proceeded to Naval dock No 1 where
we tied up. The Wisconsin alongside
dock No. 2 and the New Orleans at
the end of No. 1 dock. 1t was a sight
for sore eyes and the sailors danced
for joy at being again under the spell
cast by. electric cars. cabs and car
riages, and American buildings over
which hoated in the breeze that beau
tiful emblem-the Stars and Stripes.
Our reception was a pronounced well
come and the citizens expressed their
gladness at seeing their protectors
floating, peacefully but formidably
looking, at rest in the harbor (where
only a few years ago a steam launch
would hardly have ventured) by using
every available flag staff and pole on
which to display the national colors.
Crowds and crowds of people assem-
stood admiring the floating forts.
Thursday a general eoaling commenced
and the Kentucky took on 1,1SO tons
in eight hours. The Wisconsin and
New Orleans following in close suit
while the Oregon, Cincinnati, Raleigh
and Albany lay out in Navy Row
awaiting their turn. Saturday the
Kentucky and Wisconsin were clean
ed and put in shape to declare "open
house" to the public, thousands of
visitors taking advantage of the op-
portunity.
The daily papers contained large
half tone reproductions of each ship
and the Sunday edition of the Adver-
tiser published a very fine photo of
the fleet as it lay. Rosters of each
ship and a lengthy detailed descrip-
ton was published of each vessel, to-
sether with main events which had
aiken place during stays at different |
ocalities visited.
The usual large liberty parties were
lllowed shore leave and were received |
~ the general public of Honolulu with |
,pen arms. Talk about sociability. |

Newsboy Hurt.

All Yen, Chinese boy, aged about
eleven, in endeavoring to make few
extra Christmas pennies, visited the
Kentucky selling papers. While on the
berth deck he slipped and fell in the
forward hold. striking hatch grating
about twenty feet down. He was i'm
mediately carried to the sick bay and
prompt medical attendance was given
by the ships physicians, who discover
ed that the boy was only slightly
bruised and in an hour was able to go
home with his father who was notified
of the accident.-The Open Door.

THE LOCAL THEATRICAL FIELD.

The Neill company has not done well
/, this time In Honolulu and will not re-
! ti1rn AS a show town this city is not
what it was in boom days, but it is bet
ter than the Neill receipts indicate.
i Warde came while the financial tide was
sebbing, but had full houses and took
3away about $4,000 in net profits-but
xEVarde was new. Perhaps even he could
mot have done so well had he come
tine next year to repeat his triumphs.
Honolulu has just one congregation OF
Xplay- goers Of the better class and that
must have variety of
factors as well as of plays. In large
#cities the same star can return annual
nv and find new audiences to greet him
but he cannot do it in small city
%where there is little change or growth
in audiences. Subtracting the natives,
NAsiatics and come others from this
&place and what issleft is an American
sand European community of less than
40, 900, out of which the play-going pro-
portion must be drawn. This is not
much but it is enough to support a
short dramatic season providing there
are new stars on the stage; but it will
mot respond to the ''same old thing in
Ahe acting line. Good as the Neills are,
bur people have seen them too often;
Ikhey want fresh sensation and would
Iwelcome and repay, for next season,
! The visit of such company of players
sAs that of Henry Miller, Mansfield or
Holm Drew. We do not doubt that a
eanvass of the city would result in a
,,manager like Mr.. Cohen getting guar
qAntee for such actors that would satls-
sIv them and leave a profit for him.

Washington Beauty show.

The Countess Cassini, daughter of
the Russian ambassador, is a con-
spicuous figure in the u o'clock F
street parade. She reserves her gor-
geousness, unlike a good many other
girls, for that other promenade Of the
afternoon on Connecticut avenue, and
appears downtown in a short plaid
skirt, fur jacket and a Russian style
of toque-a thing of fur and wings,
set small and high upon her chic little
head. The countess walks with a
swinging stride, accompanied by an
enormous and formidable Russian
bloodhound at the end of a stout chain.
Sometimes the countess pulls and
sometimes the bloodhound pulls, but,
anyway, it is apt to be something of
a chase between the two and the men
who frequent the brokers' windows
along the way are on the lookout for
the pretty little countess every morn
ing, just as they are for Alice Roose-
velt, beautiful Mrs. Jim Blaine, the
Sheridan twins, dressed alike, and
bearing a close resemblance to fa-
9iOuo 1AItlic LII lIlG ShqulSlle ana
blond Mrs. Stilson Hutchins, once the
beauty of Baltimore, and her offset
ting friend-who is said to have been
painted by every noted artist in Eu-
rope-the brunette Miss Deering. The
F street beauty show is something
worth viewing in the morning. 1t is
not good form, however, to walk there
in the afternoon, for after O'Clock
the throng of women in F street is
supposed to be recruited from Uncle
Sans officeholders.-New York Tele-

NO WAR WITH EUROPE.

1t appears that Secretary Root is in
trouble for making a speech to Philip
pine veterans in which he predicted
that war would soon come between the
United States and some foreign power
The veterans talked about the speech
outside the banquet hall, much to the
embarrassment of the Presidents war
minister and the latter had to make
explanations. He had not said "soon,' -
at all. He was only speaking in a
general way" AS restated the speech
piatitudes: when the time comes,
as we know it Will come some time
we do not know when and we do not
know whence, but we know it will
come some time-when you (referring
to both the army and the navy are
called upon to defend our country,
you will do it with mutual helpfulness
and comradeship.''
This talk of war between the Unit
ed States and some European power
may be regarded from several points
of view. There is quite a strong
chance that people interested in build
dng up the Army and Navy to semi
European status are adopting the tao
tics of Won Moltke who, whenever he
= wanted another division recruited, got
up in the Reichstag and declared that
war with France was at hand. Per-
haps, on the other side, the alar1nists
what may come of the Old World
scheme of trade combinations against
us or of our adhesion to the indefensi-
BILE Monroe doctrine. But it Is well, in
going over the whole matter, to recall
that the United States has an almost
irrefragable guarantee against any Sc
rious war in the desire of every Eu-
ropean State to secure its aid against
frontier enemies. That is to say,
power like Germany may not love us;
but lie the United States would apply
for admission to the Dreibund, thus
offering to make it a Vierbund and |
putting Russia and France into a |
corner where they could do nothing |
to prevent an exploitation Of the in
terests of the four-cornered alliance,
then there would be no more trouble
with Germany. Or, on the other hand.
If the Dreibund were to prove OBJ
durate, Russia and France would glad
Iy welcome the United States into an
alliance with them. So either way
makes our game-and if not. there re-
mains an AngloSaxon Federation
against which the outsiders would
hesitate to levy war for trade or for
any other purpose.
Good craftsmanship on the part of
this country ought to save it from any
serious trouble with Europe without
sacrificing an iota of our national
honor and dignity.
