Frost for Palmlst Perrin.

noted PIANIST who has been coming
money in Honolulu, reading the palms
of various and sundry people, spent
few days in Hilo last week, arriving
and departing in the Mauna Kea. 1t
had been his intention to remain for
some ten days, but without having to
call on any great exercise of his art,
he found that the palm of the Hilo
community, generally speaking, was a
decidedly tight-fsted one, and he de-
parted in disgust Report has It that
only one man had his palm read, while
the Doctor was in Hilo, and that was
Manager John Detor of the Hilo hotel,
who thought by thus encouraging his
guest, he might induce him to remain
another week in Hilo-as a guest at
the hotel.
Another palmistry outfit, a gipsy-like
couple from Greece. hit the town a
couple of days before Doctor Perrin
did so. 1t did business on a less mag
niflcent scale, living simply in a tent
which they erected in the Mooheau
Park, and where it was advertised
that, for consideration, persons
might have their fortunes told They
did quite a business, although the
lying jade, rumOr, was busy in this
case also, and relates how one gem
tleman of Portuguese extraction took
the treatment three times, and had
an entirely different fortune told each
time. However, in the case of these
people the authorities interfered and
ordered the performance stopped, pro-
ceeding under the section of the law
which prohibits the telling of fortunes
for money or other reward. Doctor
Perrin did not claim to tell fortunes,
but simply to read character, etc,
and for this reason the authorities
made the distinction.

HILO, March 14.-If any misguided
