Execution of Delinquent Dogs by EIec-
trfcity in the Station Yard.
Interesting experiments in killing dogs
by electricity were, given in the Police
Station yard yesterday evening. Marshal
soper, Deputy Marshal Hopkins, DR..
Miner, police officers, and few others
witnessed the operations. Mr.. Faulkner,
Superintendent of the Electric Lighting
Station, with assistants performed the
experiments. They were quite success
full, considering that special apparatus
for the purpose was not on hand.
The first experiment was on a small
yellow dog, and it had barely time to give
dying yell after one shock. At first
the ends of conductors from the electric
lights were baited with meat for the dog
to bite. As he had no appetite or per
haps scented lightning, he refused to be
tempted with the morSel. Another ex-
pedient was therefore resorted to, which
| was to loop the copper conductor round
the dogs neck This being done the
| animal was placed on sheet of iron in
box, one of the electric poles being
connected with the iron. The current
was then turned on by switch, and the
dog giving yelp stretched itself out in
| death.
For the next victim a tiny black and
| white cur was brought forth, from the
kennel prison of unlicensed dogs, and its
neck encircled with the death-dealing
moose. Having long hair, water was
splashed over the neck to make conduc-
| ton. The operation above described was
| repeated, with immediate results seem
ingly the same as in the first case. The
| " good looking doctor" of " Bumps and
| Jinks' pronounced the culprit dead, but
after the lapse of a few seconds doggie
got up and started to walk away. 1t was
| again seized by the lictors and, despite
the appeals of spectators to let it off, was
again put in the terrific circuit Again
it squealed, but the deadly current was
poured into it's system, the switch gear
sputtering out blue blazes at each turn
of the electricians wrist, rigor morris
gradually came on, and the unanimous
medical and lay verdict was that the dos
nuisance was reduced by one item.
While Capt. Hopkins was placing the
second dog in the box the first time, he
exclaimed something intense in the tones
of a Comanche Indian on the war path
It seemed he had incautiorsly touched
the wire loop round the dogs neck, anC
his person making a ground connection
the circuit was completed. The result
was he received a shock that gave hi
nerves sensation as of burning. Wh'I
the first experiment was coming of, /
! put the city lights out; but Mr.. Faux
ner had man to stand by in the light
!, ing station during the second, so tina
nothing worse than a Pickering OF TIN
lamps was produced.

THE CHARITY FAIR.

Bazaar of sthe HOOula and HOo1a So
cieties-Opening at Noon To-day
A Splendid Exhibition Promised.
The bazaar for the benefit of the treas
ury of the Hooula and Hoola Societies
opens at noon to-day. Through the
miscarrying of an order, wrong date
has been continually advertised in this
paper. Very elaborate preparations were
nearly completed last night, for the re-
ception of articles for show and sale, in
the Armory of the Honolulu Rifles. The
King was present to see the progress of
arrangements.
Beginning at the entrance tour of the
hall shows the different booths in the or
der following. A permanent dressing
room to the right of the door will have
on view Her Majesty's peacock feather
dress and feather sash worn by Kane
hameha I.
First booth, mostly Hawaiian pro-
ducts, presided over by Her Majesty.
Thanked on the right with an ancient
Hawaiian house, tenanted by an old
woman.
Second booth, large tent 40 feet by
20 feet, devoted to the Hale Naua's
collection of curios, conducted by His
Majesty. Several ornamental tables will
be loaded with the exhibits, that include
feather cloaks and bridal capes. Round
the top of the tent inside will be ex-
tended an ancient Hebrew scroll, $50
feet in length and containing the first
four books of Moses. Printed catalogues
will be furnished.
Next are entrances to lanais outside,
where separate tables will be spread with
Hawaiian and foreign refreshments.
Then come national booths, presided
over by representative ladies, of Ger
many, Japan, the United States, Mexico,
China, Great Britain and Portugal.
China and Japan face each other. The
United States has large space at the
head of the hall, and has Martha
Washington compartment.
Between the Mexican and Chinese
booths will be Hawaiian women making
tapa cloth, and between the latter and
the British others of the same braiding
straw hats. The fish pond comes be-
tween the British and the Portuguese,
and it's booth is draped with fish nets.
Flags of all nations droop from the main
truss beam the whole length of the hall.
The whole fair when in operation will
undoubtedly be grand spectacular ex-
hibition, ~
