Limehouse: poor old fcewdon. Poor old And what's more, ChaHie Brown. Man and boy, Charlie Brown has lived in the heart of Limehouse for fifty-one years--and he will tell you, with nostalgic tears in his eyes, that jt used to be every bit 85 sinister and blood-chilling as every Ameri can tourist expects after reading Thomas Burke's 'LimehouseNights.' You think of Limehouse as a dark, shuddery place, down by the East India docks, with the gloom-misted Thames river swirling silently by; queer, twiisted streets and muffled voices in the fog, the reek of opium, sickeningly sweet, drifting from behind dragon-blazoned doors, a sudden piercing cry in the fright and then silence -- You remember "Broken Blossoms." "It's a pity, it really is," said Charlie Brown. "There's not a shudder left in Limehouse today." From a tough, roaring "Hell's* Kitchen," where booze - doped sailors dropped through trapdoors and woke up "Shanghaied" artd glitter- eyed Chinese shrilled their singsong curses, Limehouse today has become a grubbily respectable slum district. . . "There are only .about a hundred Chinese left," said Charlie Brown, "and nothing ever happens any more. Nobody is tough. They may look^ough, but they're not. They're just stew-bums." noon at her home here. Member ofhw club m.t .t U,. ^ home of Mrs Steve Schaefer in J^ox his shop to the building formerly used Lakfe o„ Wednesday evening.

A modate their customers Historic Room of Old Hawaii to Exist Again Honolulu. -- Acting Govern o r Charles M. Hite of Hawaii has decided that the United States hereafter shall be in a position to compete with European monarchies by. having at least one throne room. He has taken the necessary steps for the complete restoration of the throne room of Iolani palace in this city, now used as the meeting place of the territorial house of representatives. The plans include the reproduction of the original thrones. The latter are now in the Bishop museum of this city, to which they were deeded in 1897, by the republic of Hawaii, which followed the monarchy before the annexation of the islands to the United States in 1898. • Acting Governor Hite is having the throne room rearranged in keeping with the glamor of the former monarchy, relics of which remain in the portraits of former rulers on the walls, tall mirrors, and hu&e crystal chandeliers, as well as the crossed spears, symbolical of early native armies. The room is furnished in native woods, principally island koa. The dais upon which the throne chairs will be placed is still overhung by the heavy canopy that once graced kings and queens. ,• ; lovely lunch was serve at the conclusion of cards. t A nice crowd Attended the Variety Show, sponsored by the Ladies' Aid held at the Town Hall Saturday night.
