NEW MILLINERY SHOP
IN HARRISON BUILDING

Mrs. Thomas Dunn, who is to oper
a millinery shop in the Harrison
building, on Fort street, next to the
Catholic church, tomorrow, apparently
has the happy faculty of selecting
such patterns as will appeal to the
better-dressed ladies of Honolulu
those who would wear hats which fol-
low the style laid down in the Novem'
Der Paris fashion books.
In the selection she will offer tomor-
row are several in felt, a material
which is to go until early spring. One
of these is a pearl gray, trimmed with
ribbed silk ribbon and three shades OF
ostrich feathers of the latest mode
They are not plumes, consequently
they are called --latest mode.
Peeping from under a bit of trimming
is a peacock wing with sufficient color
to give the hat zest. In shape this
zone is a combination of the mushroom
and Napoleon, just enough of the lat
ter to relieve the everyday monotony
of the former, and it has a good
breadth of brim.
Another creation is a white French
felt trimmed with black velvet ribbons
and coque feathers, a pin of corded
silk of generous size comprising the
front decoration. This is a particular
w stylish hat and one that will be-
come any lady. A white French felt
picture hat is more than dream-it
is a reality that will set the heart OF
a lady beating, because it is beautiful,
fashionable beyond question, and cap
tivating in the extreme. It is mush-
room shaped, with bottle green facing
of silk. In the front and hanging to-
ward the side are two mammoth
American Beauty roses on long stems.
Touching these is a black silk velvet
ribbon fastened with cut jet pins. The
arrangement is exquisite.
In shades champagne has a position
here as elsewhere in the millinery
world. One distinctly mushroom shape
is in this effect in silk trimmed with
blue marguerites and two shades of
brown ribbon and long trailing
aigrettes. Horsehair Tuscan braid is
the ground work for several beautiful
and inexpensive hats. One of these
trimmed with three shades of cactus
silk is a beauty. A black silk taffeta
is sombre but rich and elegant. This
hat is one of the choice ones and is
inexpensive in price.
There were too many of the pattern
hats yesterday to count. and they are
from the leading cities of the world.
There are as many more to make, for
Mrs. Dunn will trim to order any
styleFhat desired and for a reasonable
price A forty dollar creation is an
exception, but the prices will range
from three dollars to twelve, and the
wearer will imagine she has one that
costs many times as much. Mrs. Dunn
is already we'll known to the fashion
able ladies of Honolulu, and their
presence at the opening in the new
store tomorrow is invited. Prior to
coming to Honolulu Mrs. Dunn had an
early training with the famous Ray
lie Winnie, the French milliner of San
Francisco The place will be richly
furnished and so arranged that GUS
toners may make their selections with
a degree of privacy.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS.

Nature turned dramatist when she
fashioned the harbor of Honolulu. The
charming aspects of the city are wholly
hidden from the newcomer until after
he sets foot on shore. Robert Louis
Stevenson, writing to his friend Sidney
Colvin in London, asking the keeper
of the prints TO come to Samoa, de-
scribed Honolulu as "the first stop to
the left after you leave San Fran
CISCO A weary twenty-one hundred
miles of water are to be traversed be-
fore the stopping place is reached. The
China mail boats cover the distance
in six days, but the clearly white
transports of our army require eight
days for the voyage.
Sixteen or eighteen hours before
coming into Honolulu, voyagers see
clearly, if the weather is fine, the two
great mountains of Mauna Kea and
MaunaL Loa on the Island of Hawaii,
one hundred and fifty miles away.
Early the following morning the ship
is off Koko Point, and then Diamond
Head, the rugged, volcanic promon-
tory, the great landmark which marks
the entrance to Honolulu harbor.
The first close sight of land is rather
The raw, jagged hills
rise precipitousiy from the sea, show
ing a coppery red beneath the spare,
scrubby verdure which covers them
The high shores are cleanly and deep
" cut, with many valleys in which
the sub-tropical vegetation is rank.
Heavy clouds lie over the mountain
tops, and the heads of the valleys are
banked with rain-clouds. The topog-
raphy of Oahu, the first island seen
gives one the impression of
great rough clenched hand laid palm
down on the face of the waters, with
the knuckles spread slightly apart.
Cocoanut palms, their fronds sharply
outlined against the sky, and their
long, slender trunks twisted by battle
against the northeast trades, give the
necessary tropical note TO the picture,
like the gulls that lend conference
unto pictures of the sea-

NATIVE GENEROSITY.
The Hawaiians are people who de-
light in giving. Many sad experiences,
many f1eecings, many encounters with
willy sharpers, have not taught them
acquisitiveness, or the desire to retain
possession of what they have. Their
generosity is not the lip-giving of the
Spaniard. With slightest provocation
they offer you freely their dearest pos
session and are pleased when you ac-
cept the gift. They have invited here
twenty-five lawmakers of the nation
of which they have become a part.
These men they have shown delight
in honoring. The land lies fair, bathed
in sunshine and decked in the green,
red, purple, and yellow of many flow
ers for those who have come from the
mainland for to see and for to adj
mire.''

HONOLULU, May 10.-Perhaps the
oldest thing about these splendid drow-
sv isles of the mid-Paeific is that they
are part of the United States. Not
colonial dependencies or outlying pos
sessions, but as much part of the Unit
ed States as Arizona or New Mexico.
That is the first impression that has

that come under the eyes of malihini
on his first visit of discovery. Mr..
Rudyard Kipling has somewhere laid it
down that
Oh, East is East, and West is West,
and never the twain shall meet
Till earth and sky stand presently, at
Gods great judgment seat.
For once, at least, the poet of the
Seven Seas has gone astray. East and
West stand face to face here. The re-
suit is enlightening and instructive as
well as diverting. Here is curious
commingling of peoples and mixing of
bloods.

THE HAWAIIAN GREETING.

It is not so many years ago that
visitors to Honolulu were met OUTSIDE
the bars by the deep outrigger canoes
so typical of the Southern Pacific, and
manned by crews of laughing, chatter
ing natives, propelling their craft with
flashing heartbladed paddles, and dis
playing the most perfect waterman
ship. Nowadays, big steamers come
I'D through the narrow, tortuous chan
mel, and are warped into berth along
side a modern dock. AS in the West
Indies, little brown-skinned naked
boys meet the ship half mile from
the dock and cry for money to be
thrown overheard for which they may
dive.
One perfect "magic word has been
given the Hawaiians in the limited
vocabulary they have constructed from
their alphabet of fourteen letters. This
is the word, aloha. 1t means love,
greeting" welcome" ''it is an honor
and pleasure TO meet you," goodbye"
farewell and God bless you" 1t may
mean any one or all of these things.
It is a fine, useful word. 1t is the
first word that a newcomer learns, and
the last word that he hears from the
lovable and attractive people who coin
ed it and whose spirit it so adequate
~ embodies into Ineligible speech.
Sharing an honored place with this
word is a practise as old as the history
of the islands, and equally gracious,
equally novel, and equally acceptable
TO the visiting malihini. This is the
custom of stringing garlands of flow
ers about the necks of guests on their
arrival or departure from house or
city. These garlands, called in the
native tongue leis, are made of bright
ly colored flowers. and are supposed
to be worn until they wither. 1t is
no uncommon sight on steamer days
in Honolulu to see grave. steady-going
old men and women going sedately
about the streets with wreaths about

 10 City Treasury.

Officer T. J. Callahan was patrol- ling Aver street last evening when he was accosted by Mrs James Dowd, who complained that her husband had locked her out of the house. The officer finding all the doors locked and getting no response to his sum- mons to open, burst in door and found Dowd and a woman who gave her name as Nellie Sullivan inside. Both were in the city court to-day charged with intoxication and the additional charge of escaping from Officer Callahan was put against Dowd. It seemed that when the off, cer took the couple to the police sig nal box crowd of thousand gath cred and while he was pushing back some children Dowd got away in the mob. Later, however, he was arrest ed in his mothers house on Martin street by Officer John Donahue.
 Last August Dowd was ordered to pay his wife $6 week for six months, which would be until about March The total would amount to $156, and of this he paid $49. There was an alternative of sixty days in that sentence and that was revived against him, while on the present charges he was committed to jail for sixty days more. Sentence in the womans case was suspended. Michael Meyers was arrested Sat urday in the Brooklyn district by Officer Hickey for intoxication. The officer stated that Meyers is not safe to be at large. He was committed for thirty days.
 Martin Donahue was charged with intoxication and vagrancy.
 Who's vagrant?" Donahue dreamily asked. "I'm not va grant; I'm counterfeiter." Officer
 Delehanty found him in hallway in the Mullings building on Bank street
 asleep at 3 o'clock this morning.
 Donahue admitted that he has not worked in year. He was sent down 1 for sixty days.

BROOKLYN BRnEFa

One of the sleighs of Kelly the baker tipped at the corner of Bank and North Riverside streets this morning and the sight would have delighted the heart of the small boy had he been present to put his lunch hooks in action. Cookies, cakes, pies and buns were scattered in all di- rections as the sleigh tipped in such "a manner as to leave nothing in the vehicle. The driver was turning the corner when the sleigh swerved and stMking the curb the load was up- set.
 Yesterday morning the Moral club was recognized at meeting held in the Lyceum. Although form erly the club was composed of Brook lynites this year several young men of the east end are members. The following officers and court officials were elected yesterday: President, William Dunphy; secretary, William McGinniss; clerk, Michael Mahon; prosecuting attorney, Dennis Clancy; supreme justice, Dennis Kelly; su- perior court judges. Patrick Riley and William Cronan. The club will have it's sessions on Sunday mornings and Tuesday evenings.
 In the absence of the father who is enjoying the balmy breezes of the south, "Bilr' Mahaney enacted the role of Big Chief" yesterday at a coon dinner given by him to the members of the Cousin club which was organized by his dad and a few other Brooklynites. Although the session did not have political aroma because of the absence of Mir Ma nancy, ST, yet the spread was enjoy able and the epicureans present found that Bill" was an adept in preparing an apetizing menu and from now on should compete with king" Dunphy in preparing suppers that will tickle the palates of the Brooklynites who delight in sit ting round the tables even though 1t is not Bacchanalian assembly, It Is said that the coon which the party dined on yesterday was cap- tured last October and as this species of bird, is antithesis to spring or au- tumnal chickens instead of becoming tougher by age improves and the longer saved, the sweeter will be its meat when cooked At yesterday session were Captain P. F. Bannon, City Sheriff M. J. Smith, Thomas Mitchell, William Johnson, Chris Dunphy, w. J.

AFTER MATTOON PROPERTY.
Appointment of Appraisers to Place
 Value on House.

The board of directors of the de- funct savings bank of Watertown is not yet through with its ex-treasurer, B. H. Mattoon, who is serving term in the state prison for embedding from the bank. All of the large amount of property left him is the homestead in Watertown and to-day proceedings were started by Attorney T. F. Carmody to take that away from him. Judge F. M. Peasley in the district court heard motion for the appointment of appraisers to put a value on the house In order that it be sold and the proceeds made a part of what has already been ob- tained from the sale of his other properties to satisfy the judgment given against him some time ago. The depositors of the bank in this case were paid their claims in full and the bank voluntarily went out of existence.
