Most of the cases now in the asylum
are hopeless, and large proportion
have been in the Institution several
years-about 81 per cent of all admitted
are hopeless; or in other words, incur
ably insane.
During the quarter, three rooms have
been reconstructed for noisy or vicious
patients. Also new poi factory, which
has been made substantial and will last
for years. A new set of wash boilers
have been put into position, chiefly in
tended for the cleansing of the clothes of
| patients. New water closets, with self
adjusting seats, have also been con-
| structed.
The surgeon recommends a better sys-
tenn of sewerage for the carrying away
of filth from the institution, and gives
notice of 1nsufficiency in the water sup
ply Water tanks have been placed on
hill back of the asylum, which assist
in times of drought.
Separate wards for females are recon.
mended in the report; and it is some.
what surprising to the ordinary citizen
that ward of this kind has not been
supplied before.
Taking the report as whole it is salts

unfortunate lunatics are being cared fol-
as much as possible under the circum
stances, cannot be otherwise than graft

THE DAILY
ELECTRIC LIGHTING EXTENSION.

The extended electric light system
of Honolulu will commence about
the beginning of next month
(August) when lights will be fur
nished to public institutions, stores,
dwelling houses, etc, at moderate
rates which will be made known
upon application at the Interior
Office. These rates, according to a
printed schedule, are very much less
than can be supplied by any other
kind of lighting; besides the consid-
erations of better quality, easier
working and greater safety of the
lights and appliances.
It is expected that water power,
increased by the new reservoir under
construction, will serve the purpose
for a short time; but, should the
applications for lights prove sufi-
GENTLY numerous, auxiliary steam
power will be added and made DOW
erful enough to be the sole motor in
times of drought.
It seems now that Honolulu will
have similar celebrity for thor
ough system of electric lighting,
that it has for the thoroughness of
its telephone system; and both these
conveniences will be equally useful
in their respective departments. So
far as the telephone is concerned, it
has become invaluable to the citizens
of Honolulu; and we have every
confidence that when electric light
ing has been as long established and
as widely extended, it will become
equally invaluable.

THE SPARROW.
Death of the Man Who Brought the
First Sparrow to America.

Death of the Man Who Brought the
First Sparrow to America.
The man who brought the first
English sparrow to America died at
his residence in Germantown recent
ly, says the Philadelphia Record.
John w. Bradsley, famlharly known
as sparrow. Dick" was thrown to
the ground from his carriage on Fri
day, and was taken to his home at
Upsal and Main streets. Years ago
the pesky insect known as the
measuring-worm, and familiar to
every one because of its commences
and the manner in which it crawled
along, as though measuring it's pro-
gress by inches, became an intoIer-
able nuisance in this city. Every eff
fort to eradicate the swarms in the
city squares and on the shaded
streets was unavailing. Especially
was the insect bothersome in Ger
mantown, and it was agreed that the
man who could find means of get
ting rid of it would be a public
benefactor. Mr.. Bradsley proved to
be that man. While on a visit to
England in 1869 Mr.. Bradsley re-
ceived cablegram, sent by order of
City Councils, requesting him to
capture about 1000 English sparrows
and bring them with him upon his
return home. He did so, and the
sparrows were liberated in the public
squares.
In short time the insects were
all gone, but the sparrows became
thicker than the measuring worms
had been, and as great nuisance.
For years it has been a greater
problem as to how to eradicate the
sparrows than it ever was as to how
to rid the country of the worms.
