BLAZING PALMS CAUSE !
SPECTACULAR PARK FIRE

A small group. of old palms in
Kapiolani park just before midnight
last evening caused considerable ex-
cttement throughout the city, when IN
some manner they caught fire and
lighted the heavens like torches. No
other damage was done, for luckily
the wind was blowing away from the
stables of the Polo club. The palms
are located on antisland just Off KAPPA
hulu road. Although the hour was
late automobiles and people on foot
came from all over the country, for it
was IA extremely spectacular sight.
It was stated this morning that a
number of men have been in the habit
of gathering under these palms night
" to carouse, and it Is believed the
trees were carelessly set afire.

FARRAR film
ENDS TOMORROW

Tonight and tomorrow night are
the last opportunities Henolulans will
have Of seeing that masterpiece Of
the film art, Joan the Woman. as
Interpreted by Geraldine Farrar and
corps OF notable screen stars, at the
Bijou theater. Local followers OF the
silent drama have been practically
unanimous in their verdict that It Is
without doubt not only the most stu
pendous production ever brought to
this city, but the most inspiring ana
most intensely dramatic as well.
In this Lasky supertilm, arranged
by Cecil de Mile, the acme Of lighting,
color and scenic effects has been
reached. The wonderfully tragic pic
ture of. Joan burning at the stake,
with the reddish, yellowish tongues OF
flame engulfing her as the mob that
but q few minutes before cried fiend'
ishly for her death, sees in the face OF
Joan unseared by flames and smoke,
but grown restful in the consolation
of her religion, not a witch but a
martyr-such a picture rs one so filled
with realism, that, it has been remark
ed. one can almost smell the smoke
and odor of burning flesh and feel the
heat of The fire. Tragic it is but real
istic almost to actuality itself.
Joan the Woman" Is the picture OF
the ages; one that leaves an indelible
impression on the heart and mind, Of
the suffering of the gentle Maid of Or
leans who gave her life that Frahcs
might live; a theme which in this
world struggle serves as the inspira-
ton for France in her fight for exist.
ence, a theme which nerves the poilu
to do and die for his country.

PoaitiXe Jurors.

A prospective juror. being qualified for a murder trial in Illinois. when asked the customary question. "Ha' t you formed or expressed an opinion as to the guilt or innocence of the ac- cused:" rejoined promptly: Sure. He's as guilty as all get Out.' Which resulted in a $lO fine by the outraged court and, of course. the disqualifica- tiOn of that talesman.
 There was a murder case that ended right in the middle when counsel, wheedling gently at the jury, remark ed. Of course none of you gentlemen has made up his mind yet as to the guilt or innocence of this defendant" Taking advantage of rhetorical pause, lanky juror arose and replied positively: Well, have. for one. He ought to be hung!'-Kansas City Star.

LESSONS OF THRIFT.
Learn to Spend Money Only For Thinas
 You Really Need.

There are few persons so rich that they do not need to exercise care and forethought in their expenditure. Hu- man needs, human desires, human symrathies, are so vast, occasions of outlay sosbeset all of us at every step that unless we are watchful we quick ly find great resources reduced to nothing, without our knowing how. The speed with which money departs is one of the first lessons of eXreri- ence to man, woman and child. but we are slow to apply our own experience in our judgment of others.
 Every one should he taught from childhood to wci2h ihc needs of cx- penditure. This I must have, this I can go without, this 1 greatly want, if other demands still more imperative are not baked by it. By buying this now l can avert the necessity of Il dOu- ble expenditure a year hence. On the other hand, if l refrain from d pur- chase tempting at the moment may be glad of my self control. even within q week. Questions like these have to be settled by every human being Can any training be more important than that which enables IFS to settle them?
 Exactly the same disposition to weigh and to compare must be brought into giving, into charity, if giving is to be discreet and wise and not in the end injurious to giver and receiver both. If we want a useful test for the diff cult distinction between avarice and thrift we may say that thrift is more sparing with self than it is with Oth- CTS. whereas avarice pinches others sooner than itself. although it may pinch bOth.-YOuth's Companion.

THE CITY OF QUEENSTOWN
It ls a Seaport. . Watering Place and
 British Naval Station.

Queenstown, numbering slightly more than 5000 souls. has threefOld dis tinctiOn- as seaport, a watering place and British naval station. It is il we'll built and attractive place, with Il mild climate, and, being built upon all island, its streets rise in terraces one above the other and offer a superb out look over the neighboring waters.
 Within fifty years the place was only a small fishing village and was known as the Cove of Cork. Its present name having been the first spot in Ireland upon which Queen Victoria set foot It still serves as the port of the city of Cork. from which it Is twelve miles dis taut. Cork itself is located at the point or entry of tile river Lee into the bay.
 The harbor of Queenstown is splen- didiy defended by two forts-CarliSlc and Camden-at its entrance and by Fort Westmoreland which Is situated upon spike island. one of the group of three isles which make up the sovcrII- ment backyard and constitute the fine natural brcakwater of the harbur. wherein large fleet can find safe all chorage.
 Two years before the queens visit to the town spike island was made con- vi@t depot upon the abolishment of the transportation scheme of punishment which had been in vogue, and the con victs sent there were employed upon the Notifications. The island ceased to be a prison in 1885, at which time it was handed over to the military au- thorities.-NationalG Geographic Society Bulletin.

Where We Get Nux Vomica.

With the exception of CeylOn, which exports limited quantity of nux vom- ica, British India is said to supply the world. Nux vomica| seeds and pick ings are obtained from the plumlike fruits of the tree. The fruit is collect ed and the seeds washed out and dried in the sun. In the forests of Nellore. where the tree is common. the seeds are washed out by forest tribe. the fanadis. and good price is obtained for them, Cochin nux vomica is col lected in the dry deciduous forests at the foot of the Travancore hills and is sold at a low figure to small native dealers, who send it to the merchants.

FATE OF HOHENzOLLERNs IS DEFINITELY SETTLED

"If the fortunes of war are finally decided against the German empire, then every one will awake to the fact that, in her own interests, the Hohen- zollerns absolutely must, voluntarily or compulsory. be relieved of their imperial functions" Such is one of Ithe statements contained in the pam phlet recently published in Germany
 and promptly suppressed by the gov ernment there. 1t continues: "A mere glance at the newspaper articles of our enemies makes it obvious that
 in the entente countries governments and people alike feel deadly hatred for the present German emperor. It lis against the kaiser and his son that | the most venomous attacks are di-
 rected. They are held responsible, not
 merely for the outbreak of the war, but also tor all those acts of war about
 which our enemies assert that they
 are justified in complaining. This be-
 ing so, how can anyone still believe
 that Britain, France and Russia will ever consent to negotiate with the present principal personages in Ger
 many-that is to say, with William II. and his son?
 We should remember the magma nimity with which Napoleon adbicat- ed his position of emperor, in order to
 enable his country to conclude peace | and to obtain more lenient conditions
 from the victor. Is William II. cap
 able of making such sacrifice for the German nations as Napoleon made for
 the French nation?
 "I am convinced that the entente
 countries will be willing to resume peaceful commercial relations with d i Germany which has rid herself of the
 Hohenzollerns. It would no doubt ev-
 en be possible to approach the subject
 of colonies. If it were possible by a
 change of dynasty to give the entente i a guarantee that the influence of the
 party has once and for all been set aside and that the much desired place in the sun will no longer be in
 terpreted as meaning that everyone
 else is excluded therefrom, but in the
 sense of all sharing it alike, then a
 Greater Germany might emerge from this calamitous var
 This pamphlet. of which the above are extracts. shows very clearly the trend of thought of a large portion of
 the population of the German empire,
 but not including the Prussians. From this it seems to be realized that the Hohenzollern ideas and the further progress of Germany are incompati- ble. Just as France and Napoleon had ! to separate so will Germany and Will ! liam. It is interesting to note that this was written in Bavaria. the one part Of Germany where the people Ihave the freest constitution and where
 the voice of the people is paid most attention to.
