ART EXHIBIT At
COOKE GALLERY

For the first time in the history Of
the Cooke art collection, the public
will be given an opportunity to see
the paintings, many of them by mas
tiers old and modern, tomorrow after
noon between two and five in the aft
ernoou The collection and gallery
known as the c. NJ. Cooke Memorial
Gallery, have just been turned over
IN Oahu College by Mrs. c. NJ. Cooke.
Among the larger paintings are
Christ and Little Children" an altar
panel by Cramach; The Last Sup
per" by Lombard; The Burgomeis-
ter's Family" by Gonzales, and The
Holy Family" by Luini A number
of very valuable pictures are included
in the collection of smaller paintings.
There are canvasses by Sir Joshua
Reynolds, Rembrandt, Gainesborougn
and Murillo. AS Honolulu is rather
remote from the great art centers and
there are not many opportunities to
see a collection of paintings by the
great artists, the Cooke gallery will
doubtless be well patronized tomor-
row.

TIMMONS DOES

In l.. d. TimmOns, the manager of
the Hawaiian Star, Hawaii has a fine
booster. He does not only tell people
to come here. but he follows it up by
giving them all the facts that he can
as well as a sheaf Of literature. When
they promise to come he makes a lit
tie investigation on his own account,
and is thus able to say whether they
would be good people to keep in touch
with on arrival here.

ties for placing the literature supplied

A team of galloping horses, driven
by a blindfolded man, who lashes
them to their utmost speed avoiding
obstacles and turning corners with
unerring accuracy, is something not
seen in Honolulu once in a decade.
At o'clock Monday afternoon Prof.
Norwood, who opens an engagement at
the Orpheum that night, will perform
this feat The drive will be started
and finished on Fort street in front of
the First National Bank.
A committee of business men will be
selected at random from the crowd
and will be asked to cover ten OF
twelve blocks through the heart of the
city, returning to the point from which
they started.
On alighting from the carriage they
will hide some small article anywhere
in the block
Prof. Norwood will then take tn,
reins of the team, and with the com
mittee accompanying him, will drive
at a gallop over the route covered
first. He will be guided solely BY tn,
thoughts of the committee, who, oC
cupying seats in the rapidly MOVING
vehicle, will doubtless think of moth
ing else but of where they are goini
and where they might go should thei
minds wander
On returning to the starting poin
Prof Norwood will alight from tn
carriage and, still blindfolded, win g
directly to the hiding place Of the OF
iect placed by the committee.
Prof. Norwood has spent many year
in the development of this strang
power-strange it seems to the III
trained, but he states that it is
power inherent in everyone-greate
l in some than in others.
, His performance is rapid an
sparkles with excitement from stan

FIRE PROTECTION
LAX IN JAPAN
BY j. A. BREcKoNs,

Especial Correspondence of The Starr
WASHINGTON, January 1S.-Re-
calling sthe modern high-pressure and
expensive fire-fghting equipment Of
the great cities of the United States,
and the efficient organizations de-
voted to the protection of life and
property in this country, a description
of the fire-fghting apparatus of
Japan's two great cities, just furnish
ed the State department by the Amer
lean consul at Yokohama, will prove
interesting.
For generations" says the report,
fires were so commonplace in Japan
that they were accepted as necessary
evils, but the increasing value Of
buildings and stocks has compelled
an improvement, although the organ
ization and apparatus even in the
nations two greatest cities, is ex-
tremely provincial and inadequate. In
Toxic and Yokohama a certain
amount of modern apparatus is used
in conjunction with the old style
equipment"
There is no public or municipal fire
department in the city of Yokohama.
The apparatus is owned by. and the
few employees paid by an association
/ of fire insurance companies. In all
that great city, five steam engines
represent the total number in use
These are supplemented by hand
pumps of antiquated type, and some
hydrant standpipes. Toxic owns its
own fire apparatus, which includes
eleven steam pumps, fifty-seven arm
pumps and few hose wagons.
The coolies who assist in time Of
fire in Yokohama are paid an average
of four cents, American money, pei
hour for time actually spent in fire
fighting, The few regular firemeI
and watchmen get about 81 pei
month. The municipal fire company
of Toxic pays it's regular firemen
S6.47 per month, and coolies at the
rate of eighty-fve cents per day fol
time employed
In the last five years Yokohama
has suffered from fire losses aggre
eating $1,3OO,OOO, while the loss il
Toxic for the same period was 1904,
900.

DO GREAT BLIND DRIVING FEAT

to finish. 1t differs from some other
thrill-producing performances. in that
it instructs while amusing
Washington Irving Bishop, one of
the most famous mind-readers of his
time, performed this driving act here
about twenty-four years ago. The
drive started at Emma Square and
ended at Benson, Smith & Co.'S drug
stone, then situated where part of
Wichman's is now, on Fort street. At
Emma Square, while Mr. Bishop stood
blindfolded with his back to the com
mittee, one of the latter marked on
a map set on an easel the locality
where the article-a pair of spectacles
had been hidden. Then Mr. Bishop
was conducted to the drivers seat in
carryall to which a spirited black
! span from a livery stable was har-
messed, and with a member of the
committee on either side touching
hands with him, to furnish the psychic
current, he drove rapidly down town
through the narrow and tortuous
route, by way of Garden lane, Union
and Hotel streets to Fort, down Fort
and pulled up abruptly at the drug
store mentioned. Entering the store
with the committeeman still holding
his hand, Bishop rushed excitedly from
point to point inside until, quicker
than it takes to tell, ne reached W
and raised the lid of the ice fountain
chamber, whence he drew out the
Ispectacles. Evidently he labored un
der intense excitement, as the per
SEPARATION was pouring down his face II
streams. A great cheer from the
dense crowd inside and outside re
warded his great feat.
James Gordon Spencer is the onl!
member of the committee whose nam,
is remembered by the present naI
rator.

Thirteen citizens OF the town of Eden
have filed petition in the supreme court
asking that an injunction be issued re-
straining the selectmen OF the town from
purchasing the Julia Grant property on
the shore path. At the town meeting in
March majority of the voters voted to
purchase the Grant property for the pur-
pose of msintaing there public landing
place. 1t was stipulated that the price
was not to exceed $4,000. The ground
upon which the injunction is asked is that
the town has no authority to expend
money for this purpose. There are q
number of very valuable summer cottages
which, it is claimed by the petitioners,
will be largely reduced in value in case
this property is used for town wharf
and terminal purposes.
