R0SENHEIM'S EASTER OPENING
Latest Parisian Millinery Creations
Attract Many shoppers.

The Easter millinery opening OF Rosen-
helm Millinery Company's establishment,
No. SIS Locust street, attracted a large
gathering yesterday afternoon, and the
display of modish hats from exclusive
French models made a showing that was
difficult to reproduce outside of Paris or
New York.
In every show case were exquisite ex-
amples of the, highest millinery art-spe-
ciaI creations that could not but elicit the
admiration Of the scores of patrons who
thronged the rooms all afternoon.
Printed words give little idea of the
of straws and ribbons and laces that go
to make UP the vast variety of feminine
headwear that is displayed at the Rosen-
helm parlors. In fact. the descriptions
only beEgar the subject, which must be
seen to be appreciated.
One might as well try to describe sun

San Toy is one of many. A man would
say that was a miniature pagoda whose
droop straw balls hung In tiers beneath
the beautiful straw fiber. The low crown
is of old gold. wreathed with light green
grassy effect. and bunch of velvet olives
falling over the wearer's hair forms q
most captivating effect. It recalled the
tinkling pagoda bells "On the Road to
Mandalay" That is how it impresses the
masculine eye. The woman admirer must

was that the straw braids were artistic

DESPERATE JAPS
ESCAPE FROM DORIC

Five desperate Japanese stowaways
an attempt to escape from the steamer
yesterday morning after 2 o'clock and
would have succeeded but for the de-
termined resistance of Customs Inspec-
tor Wilson and an Immigration guard.
There We're eight stowaways on
board five of whom had been held on
the Doric since it's departure from
Japan on the last trip. They were be-
ing returned to Japan. Three others
were sent aboard from the Coptic on
Monday They were confined in II
panel in the door with a clasp knife,
and five of the gang managed to es-
cape. They spread out over the vessel
and knowing that they would be appre-
hended If they tried to land on the
wharf, they squeezed through ports on
the mauka side of the vessel and plung
ed in 20 the harbor.
The presence of the men in the harbor
was discovered by the Customs Inspec-
tors and the alarm was given. An I'M
migration guard subdued one man aft
err battling with him for some time.
Wilson came across a Jap who was
quite powerful and there ensued des-
perate fight. Wilson, although badly
damaged in the fracas, held on, and
also gave his prisoner drubbing. The
other three got away.
AS the steamship company is liable
to a fine of 5000 for the escape of u
stowaway the steamship officials put
forth every effort to apprehend the
men.
Before the steamer sailed at noon
yesterday another Japanese was dis
covered hiding in the bow of the sloop
Aloha which was riding at anchor in
front of the pilot. house. One of the
pilot boys went on board the sloop yes
terday morning to bale it>out and found
the Japanese. He was turned over to-
the steamship company.
The Doric expected to overtake the
fleet watch sailed for the west at 10 A.
m. yesterday. Captain Smith had the
signal flags of the steamer on deck
ready to hoist in salute to Admiral
Evans when the liner PASSED the war
ships. 1t is probable the meeting took
place late yesterday afternoon.

HADI
! GOOD CHEER
Rumors Of Trouble Over
Grievance Are Not
Believed.

Superintendent ]. d. McVeigh, who
has been In town for the Christmas
season, received letter from Deputy
Superintendent Waimau at Kalaupapa,
which tells of merry Christmas en-
joyed by the inmates of the Settle-N
ment. There were many luaus. in
Guiding one held by the white people.
Christmas boxes sent by various large
mercantile houses Of Honolulu en-
riched the good cheer.
Mr.. McVeigh takes no stock in a
rumor current for some days here
which, however. he heard for the first
time when questioned about it-that a
Government official had been burned in
effigy by some disaffected persons at
the Settlement.
With regard to talk Of hardship to
Thos. X. Nathaniel If his exclusive
fish-selling market is blocked. Mr.. Me-
Weigh Says the reported value of the
investment is vastly exaggerated when
placed at three thousand dollars. Hun
dreds instead of thousands would be
nearer correct. 1t was not to create
a monopoly for Mr.. Nathaniel that the
Superintendent had favored confirming
the sale of fish to one place, but only
to ensure and facilitate thorough in
spection. Governor Carter disapprov-
ed the regulation in this regard on the
ground that 1t made an invidious privi-
lege.

WARSHIPS ATE'UP
BIG COAL PILES

When the warships departed yester-
day and Captain Niblack had time to
think freely for few minutes, he
found that about 5000 tons of coal had
been carried away from the navy's coal
piles by the fleet. It was first thought
that about\5,OOO tons would be needed.
When the fleet arrived it was estimated
that about 1900 tons would be required,
but extra amounts were called for and
they were given, running the total up
to about 5000 tons.
