EARLY FORENOON FIRE
ON PUNCHBOWL SLOPES

a fire above Luso street ON the
slopes of Punchbowl and Eva of the
quarry about clock yesterday morn
ing destroyed cottage belonging to
A. II. r. Vierra, the jeweler, but oc-
cupied by George Medeiros, ieweler
who is employed at Wichman's. The
cottage is one of two owned by Vierra.
Mrs. Medeiros was outside TIE house
talking with Mrs. Vierra, when sud
denly one of the children called out
'Fire!" Looking up, the two women
saw flames coming out of the window
OF the room occupied by Mrs. Medeiros'
children, but she was relieved at the
same moment by seeing her two chill
dren, little gihs two and three years
old, playing outside the house, uncon-
sclous that there was danger.
An alarm was sent in, but the box
was distant and the pull up the hill
a hard one for the department, and
the house was doomed before a stream
of water could be turned on it. The
department, however, saved the house
IN which the Vierras live and perhaps
other neighboring buildings. There
was no insurance on either place.
Before the department arrived, neigh
bors came to help save the contents of
the burning house and to attempt to
extinguish the fire. Not great deal
was saved from the Medeiros cottage.
Mrs. Medeiros seems to think that
the cause of the fire was some child
or children in the house playing with
matches.

AFTER MARDI
GRAS IS OVER
Amid the Wreck of Their En-
pire Prince and Princess
Are Photographed.

Mardi Gras is over, and the Prince
| and Princess OF the carnival have been
| dethroned. Workmen were busily en-
gagged yesterday afternoon in taking
down the decorations and undoing the
| work that had made such a fairy pal
ace of the fishmarket And amid the
wreck of their empire the Prince and
Princess, and their attendants, had
their photographs taken in all the
glory of their court robes.
Mrs. Graham said it was not pos
sible as yet to make a complete finan-
cial statement of the affair, and would
not be until all the work of taking
down decorations and putting the fish
market building in order was COM
pleted. The indications We're, however,
that it had been a financial success.
There seemed to be a general senti-
ment felt yesterday among those who
were present at the Mardi Gras ball,
that it had been in every way a suc-l
cess. There was a unanimous feeling
in every way a more fitting place than
the Mardi Gras ball had ever had
before in Honolulu. The arrangements
for every part of the affair We're most
excellent The cloak room service was
pronounced by many to be the best
that had ever been given in Honolulu.
Wraps and cloaks We're carefully
handled and taken care of and in the
ladies' dressing room there were at
tendants to help maskers to put the
finishing touches to their costumes
The supper room was a triumph of
decoration. It's masterpiece was
great canopy extending from the CEN
ter to all sides, composed of long fes-
toons of red peoples. 1t was most ef-
fective in design, and was the work
of Mrs. Charles Booth and Mrs.
Schmidt, who with Mrs. Abrams de-
serve. very much of the credit for the
surprising decorations of the occasion.
Among costumes which We're omitted
from the descriptions given yesterday
morning, which deserve to be mem
toned, were Mrs. E. c. Brown and
Mrs. W. H. Cornwell. They appeared
in the costume of the Arab Patrol.
The costume was complete and perfect
in every detail and many thought they
We're entitled to a prize. Miss Blanche
Soper was a white lotus; her gown
was of pale green with the white lotus
blossoms, and her glorious hair fell
below her waist. In her hand she car
ried a branch of the lotus. Mrs. j.
Lennox of Kauai, appeared as a but
terhy in gold and black, while her sis
ter, Mrs. Bickford appeared as a gypsy,
Miss; Maud Jones and Miss Barber APP
peared as Minervas, and the Misses
Grace in black gowns and cowls were
effectively costumed.
Before the unmasking very many
were convinced that the Merry Wild
ow' was the young matron whose por-
trait appeared not long ago in the
Sunday Advertiser, as THE Widow"
So assured were they of it that many
OF them addressed the impersonating
individual by the name of this matron.

One of the most largely attended
Chinese funerals held for many years
| in Honolulu was that of C. Winam,
the well-known Chinese merchant, yes
terday afternoon. The funeral was
from the late residence on the Eva
side of Aala street not far from King.
The interment was in the Manoa VAL
ley cemetery.
The hour set for the funeral was 1
O'Clock. For some time. before that,
great throngs began gathering in the
vicinity. Many of those who thus
came were mere curiosity seekers.
Very many others came as a mark of
respect to the memory of the deceased
Mr.. Winam was member, in his life
time, of a large number of Chinese
societies, and each of these was large
" represented. Each society provided
hacks for its members, and the society
providing the hack was indicated by
a red placard pasted on the side of
the carriage with Chinese characters
on it.
The Hawaiian band was in attend
ance and while il played music recog-
nized by western ears as dirges.
: ainese orchestra rendered music,
doubtless as readily recognized by
Oriental ears, as mortuary in its char
acter.
The body was brought from the
house and placed with many flowers
in the hearse. The pallbearers, in
European costume and wearing the
European insignia of mourning, but
also wearing streamers of white-the
hue of mourning in China-waIked be-
side the hearse. Six carriages con-
tanned the mourning family, accom-
panied by friends. The female mem

pressing her grief. She was carried
thus but a short distance however, and
then was taken into one of the car
riages.
AS the procession moved from Aala
street to King the Hawaiian band in
the lead playing a funeral march, the
Chinese orchestra also struck UP Chi
nese music, and as the carriages fell
into line there was a plentiful distri-
button of the red paper emblems of

The procession passed along King
street to Nuuanu and thence to Bere-

More than a hundred carriages were

Mr.. DTRAO,S SIDE.

Mr.. Durao came to the Advertiser
office with his side of the story last
night. He stated that he had always
shown himself to be loyal champion
of Portugal and its constituted gov
eminent. Through the Advertiser he
defended the Portuguese against re
Elections upon them by the late Senator
Hoar of Massachusetts, who in con
sequence publicly admitted himself in
the wrong. Again he was a speaker at
the Orpheum mass meeting to repel the
inadvertent reflections of a local Cir
cult Judge on his nationality. On De-
cember l, 1907, he contributed to the
Advertiser a loyal article on the
political troubles harassing the Inflated
king.
Morato, replying in o Luso to that
Advertiser contribution, called King
Carlos a robber and usurper. filing
nearly two columns with rabid utter
