The Latest American Invention.
THE VICTORY OF EI.EcTRIc1TY.

o Il
Since Electricity has been applied for light
ing purposes, all efforts OF inventors have
been directed to construct lamp for general
domestic use. The reason why this problem
has till now not been solved, is that none Of
the inventors could rid themselves Of the idea
of gas lighting, and that all have adhered to
the system of producing the Electricity in
some central place, or by large machinery, in
stead of first laying down the principle that a
Lamp which should ever become generally
useful and popular, must be portable, like an
Oil Lamp, and contain the generator of Elcc-
trcity in itself, e., in the foot Of the Lamp
The Norman Electric Light Company has
at last succeeded in completely realizing this
ideal Of Electric Lighting, and there is no
doubt that this most important invention will
bring about a complete revolution in all
branches Of lighting.
Our Electric Lamp needs neither Machin.
cry, Conductors, nor any expensive outlay,
and is neither complicated nor disagreeable in
manipulation all that is necessary is to refill
it every four or five days with acid. The cost
Of lighting will be as cheap as gas ~ cents
per hour, and it has before the latter the i'm
mense advantage Of neither producing heat,
smoke nor carbonic acid, owing to which the
air is not inquired, and remains at the same
degree Of temperature, 1t is further abso-
lutely nodorous, and does not need to be
kindled by match, or otherwise, but simply
by turning the key, thus avoiding all danger
OF fire, explosion or suhocation, as in the case
Of gas, if the key is left open and ii must be
conceded that this advantage alone is invalu-
able. 1t is further preferable to any known
kind Of lighting for the following reasons
(I.) Its manipulation is so simple that any
child can keen il in order.

Base ball circles are again showing
signs of activity. The Married Men
elect officers to-day and the other clubs
will soon follow with reorganization
for the coming season 1t is under
stood among the boys that Base Ball
League will be again entered into. The
league this year will likely consist of
the Oceanics, the Married Men, the
Honolulus and the Hawaiis (native)
The Makikl diamond has been greatly
improved, having been plowed and
rolled with the steam roller. The field
now shows an entirely level surface for
about forty feet outside of the base lines,
and is equal to any base ball grounds
in the United States Subscription
lists are already being circulated, and
there is but little doubt that the pres
ent season will far surpass the last.
The Makiki diamond has been CON-
pletely cleared of the uneven knots of
earth which made it so uncertain last
year. and it will be the boys own fault
if they do not improve their playing
over the average playing of last season.
Little can be said at this early date as
to the positions of the players. 1t is
understood, however, that Hay Wode-
house will catch for the Honolulus, as
usual, and Chan Wilder for the Bene-
diets. The Oceanics have lost Scotty,
their catcher, and it is not yet decided
who will face Wallis curvers for them.
In all events, strong mines and good
playing may be looked for.

They say That there is something
worse than "high taxation" which
"quickens" the peoples interest in pub
lie affairs just at present; that it is not
'1ocal Government" that troubles the
people of Honolulu half as much as
the unconstitutional Government of
the present Administration; that an in
teresting scene was enacted at the
PRESS office yesterday morning which
will be given to the public later on;
that the masque of destiny does not
hide the future of Hawaii, politically,
from the public gaze; that the promise
to kill editors is not considered bind
ing in certain cases; that the law of
''mine and thine" is sometimes very
literally interpreted; that those who
'vex the drowsy ear of night" had
better be careful or they will awake
policeman some night and scare him
out of a years growth; that Nuuanu
street was quite lively for short time
yesterday morning; that the Premier's
name was used without authority yes
terday; that there is really and truly,
and no joke about it either, a split in
the Privy Council of State; that the
Merry Makers will bring back stock
of Island jokes with them; that the
members of the B. B. clubs are hunt
ing up their bats and bases for the
coming season; that the next B. B.
league will soon be organized; that the
politicians are now fighting within the
Government party's ranks; that the
men who take things without asking
declare that they are not afraid of the
police after night; that the swimming
club is the most sociable organization
in Honolulu; that the hackmen affirm
that the authorities discriminate against
hackdriyers whenever they get a chance;
that the trouble with Hawaii is that she
has too much politics and too few peo-
pie; that the rain has dismal way of
catching people out in Honolulu; that
the street cleaners are constantly scrap
ing mud together in the streets to be
scattered again before it is taken away;
that reforms are promised which will
never be made; that the Catholics
were promised the head position at the
Reformatory School if they would
throw their influence for the Admins
tration at the late election; that the re-
cent appointment illustrates political
punic faith; and that free speech is not
in consonance with the holding of a
Government position, as late events
show.

Two natives, one hackman, had a
dispute on Merchant near Fort street
at nine o'clock last evening, which
ended seriously for one of them. They
were disputing over the fare, the hack
man wanting a quarter, while the pas
senger only wanted to give ten cents
and after few hot words the hackmar
struck his passenger in the face, after
which for few minutes the two men
the hack and the horse were all mixec
up. AT the end Of the struggle, the
hackman looked as if he wanted to be
laid away in his last resting place
His hat was gone, his coat was tori
and his face was covered with blood
The two combatants saw a policeman
coming, at this juncture, and made
themselves very scarce

Mr.. Joseph Tinker the enterprising
butcher who owns the City Market on
Nuuanu street, opposite Chaplain lane,
has lately had built second new and
handsome meat-cart to fill the increas-
ing demands of his business. The cart
is built on the same general pattern as
the first one, which was made after one
OF Mr. Tinker's designs, and is nicely
fitted up with sliding trays, etc. Mr.
Tinker will run these carts daily to all
parts of the city and vicinity, including
Waikiki, Palama and Nuuanu Valley.
Give the City Market call if you wish
the best of meats delivered in the
cleanest and neatest style.

S61, 600 They represent syndicate OF
eight, whose resources amount TO one and
a half million of dollars.
All the above immigrants have families
except where it is expressly stated they
are single men.
What it Cost to Get Them.
BY counting the above list it will be
found that there We're 113 immigrants
brought into the State IN the last three
years by Mr.. Patrick Now how much
did it cost TO get them? Tie expenses of
the department for the three years
amounted to s. ,322 This made it cost the
State $64.19 for each man brought into
the State. Nearly every one OF them had
families, and if We could ascertain how
many composed each family, the average
per immigrant would be much less than
above stated. The amount of money in
vested III the State by these people, says
Mr.. Patrick, is considerably over $500, 900
He has not the exact amount.
To Sum il AHUp.
The Immigration Bureau Is managed as
economically It's any taxpayer could de-
sire We ran oyeI the vouchers and could
find no item charged which was not nee
eSSary one and no amount which was un-
reasonable. On the score of economy the
Bureau will be endorsed Some of the
other departments might learn lessons In
economy py study of the expenditures
in this bureau. We hear often such eX
pressions as The immigration bureau is
a costly humbug and does no good to the
State That is a mistake. OF course
~ stakes are made-the settlement o. the
Scotch Crofters, a number of whom have
returned to Scotland, for instance, which
cost $600,-but in the main the CHRONICLE
is confident that the settlers are satisfied
and their introduction into the State is a
benefit.
W hat has been done is but an earnest of
what can be done with intelligent, well
directed efforts on the part of the agents
and commissioner. The EXpositions have
given North Carolina prominence in inn
migration circles and the future work in
this line, if properly managed, will be
more satisfactory in results.
