CARTER MYSTIFIES AND
DELIGHTS AUDIENCE

Maskelyne, Cooke, the Davenport
Brothers, David Davenant, Hermann
and all the rest of the great conjurors
and illusionists were initiated to alb
solute perfection at the Opera House
last night when Carter, the Mysterious,
held forth.
Honolulu likes to prime itself up and
make believe that it is critical. But
there was not the least chance in the
world to be critical for the show was
so good that even Honolulu was car
ried off its metaphorical feet and won
dered aimlessly how all the things were
done.
The first part was made up of some
clever conjuring. 1t was very clever
eonjuring, The cleverest trick was
when cards from a pack placed in a
goblet in plain view of the audience
and on d glass table, rose from the
pack at the command of the magician.
Then Carter brought on that clever
illusion, with a supposedly hypnotized
subject rising in the air from a couch
with no visible means of support. The
magazine writers tell that it is done
with a curlicued steel bar, S shaped
at the back. But if anybody can see
the bar from the audience they can
do better than anybody did last night.
The lady hoisted in the air on a
chair by means Of ropes and then made
to disappear at the sound of a pistol
shot, is another illusion that has been
explained many times Not chance
to see how Carter does it, though.
Then there are clever spiritualistic
stunts in a secret cabinet during which
youths who are tempted to go up on
the stage from the audience are made
the goats. Carter is securely tied and
the doors are closed. Out come his

hands through the windows, bells ring
and all kinds of thing happen When
the doors are open, there is the old
magician still tied tightly. The latter
part of the stunt is sorrowful for the
poor youth who is tempted inside the
cabinet.
As a conjuring and illusion show, the
one that Carter puts on is admirable.
Considering that he arrived on the
steamer only yesterday morning and
yet produced last night a performance
that would have done justice to the
Egyptian Hall, the original home of
mysteries, Carter has done a really
wonderful thing.
There viii be performance each
night at the Opera House until next
Friday. It is more than worth going
to see. 1t is a novelty and as good as
one can see anywhere.

sect in frock coats and hundreds of
japanese school children.
After most of the passengers went
ashore the head priest, accompanied
by Rev. Mr.. Imamura and delegation
of Honolulu japanese, descended to
the wharf where he was greeted by
his people. They showed marked
respect, and instead of pressing upon
him, endeavored to maintain a lane
through which he might pass to the
carriage waiting for him. The great
crowd composed of people of other ma
tlonalitles, however, pressed upon the
line and broke it. Finally, the Patri-
arch was placed in the carriage with
Mr.. Imamura seated with him. the
carriage being driven through a lane
of japanese. The organizations fell in
behind and the march toward the
Young Hotel began.
Ran to Keep Up.
The carriage horses started off at
slow trot and soon the organizations
had to follow suit and all along the
way up King street little perspiring
children ran their legs off trying to
keep up with the carriage. They final
ly arrived in front of the Young Hotel
perspiring but ready for another run,
as long as it would be with so high
church dignitary.
After short rest the Count drove
to the Buddhist church on Fort street.
Youthful Patriarch.
Count Soncho Otani is a Youthful
patriarch. He is about thirty wears
old, polished, courtly young man,
handsome in a European way, his man
ners and words betokening the cosmo-
polltan gentleman. He was extremely
affable in his reception of a represent
alive of this paper, who called upon
him in the private reception room of
the HOngwanji mission. He con-
verses in English and his accent is
that Of Piccadilly.
Pleased at Welcome
"We are delighted at the reception
given US in Honolulu he said. 81
must confess that I was surprised to
find so many of my countrymen and of
my church here and the greatness of
the welcome rather overpowers me.
81 regret that I will have no oppor-
tunity of seeing more of your country
and more of the condition of my people
here. Unfortunately I was unable to
secure the accommodation I wanted on
the Manchuria and that makes it neces-
sary that I continue right on to Japan
on the Mongolia.
81 am naturally pleased at the
progress my church is making here.
Our missionaries have been here a
hundred years, I believed" This last
was question.
81 have not heard whether our mis-
sionaries are making any converts
among the races here other than the
Japanese. I do not believe they are.
They are not losing many of their
however. -
Here the interview ended and the
patriarch took advantage of few
intermission between this and
his next reception to light a turkish
cigarette and inhale few mouthfuls
of the scented smoke.
Moving Pictures Taken.
R. X. BONNIE, the moving picture
man, was on hand to catch some Of the
unique features of the occasion, run
ming few hundred feet of film at the
mission and later at the schoolhouse.
