The Luxurious Apartments Provided for
Some of Them.
In Mr.. w. X. Vanderbilt's house the
social life of the servants has been con.
sidered even luxuriously. The base
ment is theirs exclusively. The en-
trance is by a special door. In front
is billiard room for the men, and a
parlor and sitting-room for the maids.
These are finished in hard wood and
attractively furnished. In the man.
sard also is large room given over for
their entertainment where at times
they may hold a servants ball.
In Mr.. Marquand's house the human
tiles are still further regarded. A
servants elevator extends from the
basement to the living rooms on the
top floor. Here they have prettily-ap-
pointed bedrooms and bathrooms
lined with enamel tiles and answering
to the most scrupulous demands of
cleanliness. The housekeeper has here
her suit of rooms, including a parlor.
The square hall in the Marquands'
house is carried to the roof and gives
place on each floor to balcony and
corridor.
This is not omitted on the servants

ings they can look down on any gala
scene below. Another instance of Mr..
Marquand's thoughtfulness is in stair
way leading to the roof, which has
been terraced. Here, instead. in the
cool nights. of hanging over the area
to get breath of air. the servants can
sit and enjoy the famous southwest
wind that so seldom fails. and look
down on the myriad-lighted town-a
view in every season full of beauty.

servants rooms and make show places

He Was q Distributes.

On a side lot near the Forepaugh
grounds on North Broad street there
Was a fakir whose OUTFIT consisted OF
the stake and ring game. This simple
and enticing amusement is played as
follows: The stake is placed in the
ground al a certain angle, which leads
the uninitiated TO believe that it is easy
10 throw the five inch rings over it.
whereas this feat is almost impossible
The fakir had a crowd around him
and was raking in the dimes-three
tries" for ten cents-when a black
mustached. middle sized man walked
up and said he'd bet dollar he could
put three rings out of five over the
stake.
The fakir winked at the crowd and
took the man up. The black mus
tached stranger threw Eve rings
rapidly one after another, and, as
three of them were on the stake. the
thrower was in ninety cents They
doubled bets and the stranger won
again. Then they bet SO even that
nine rings out of the first ten thrown
could not be put over the stake. The
whole ten settled safely, and the fakir,
as he handed $40 in silver over, said:
I'm broke; what's your businessf'
I'm distributor at the postoffce, {"
said the ring thrower. Il don't do
anything but fling papers all day long

WEDNESDAYS election was /

WEDNESDAYS election was most
quiet and orderly. There were no
arrests for disorderly conduct, and
everything passed off with the ut
most decorum. The day was more
like Sunday than an ordinary cleo
ton day. This is the work of the
election law, which, imperfect as it
in its final form, undoubtedly is.
still has swept away multitude OF
abuses. The same observation has
been made in the United States
wherever radical election law has
been passed, particularly when it has
enforced secret voting. The conduct
of the election Wednesday, and the
quiet of the day, are another long
credit mark for the Reform party.

IT Is rather hard that Mr.. Bush,
who has done and said so much for
his party, who has borne the burden
and heat of the day, should have
been just the one whom that jade
Fortune elected to stay at home.
This was the most unkindest cut of
all. Never mind. MIR. Bush, don't
cry. Remember that the way to an
office in the Government building, or
further yet, to SAMOA or WASHINGTON
or better still, ROME, does not neces-
sarily lead through the Legislative
hall. You may "get there" just the
same.

In view OF the almost incredible

nounces the post electric system OF

about the proposition that we shall yet

that takes the average breath away,
and the suggestion that passengers are
TO be rushed through space at the rate
of two hundred miles per hour is apt
to alarm the apprehensive. But the
proposition is not beyond the limits OF
possibility for all that. A few days
ago an experimental train upon a rail
road in this State made a run of ninety
odd miles in about sixty minutes, some
portion of the journey being at the rate
of nearly two miles per minute. If steam
can accomplish such marvellous results
as this, why may not that greater
power, electricity, eclipse this stu
pendous record? The truth is that we
live in a phenomenal age. All the
ancient faiths concerning the develop
ment of material things are being
t. ,rudely jostled by the pushing Shout
ders of science. 1t is no longer the
dream of visionary that we shall con-
verse with persons thousand miles
away. Marked progress has been made
toward solving the problem of aerial
navigation, and although it is yet i'm
possible to predict the ultimate out

Country majorites availed nothing
against solid Honolulu, where the
Government firmly entrenched in
power and in possession of all the
advantages which Office unscrupul-

unseat it in the capital city. The
election Wednesday shows that this
state of things has passed away.
The party in power has not one adj

side has not. The two stand on a
footing of perfect equality, and for
the first time it is possible to hold a
fair election in Honolulu in which
the government enters the arena,
like every other combatant, stripped
OF every advantage which the prior
possession of power would naturally
confer.

JUST WHAT MUTT is.

Anybody can Buy it, But Nobody
But a Warrior Can Wear it.
San Francisco Chronicle.
What does 'mufti" mean? Is it an
Americanism, an Anglicism, Calls
ism, or pure, unadulterated slang?
In the days of spelling and definition
bees, fifteen years ago, it would have
been selected as q good word to tor
ture aspirants for prizes.
Briefly expressed, multi is mill
tary term largely used inEurope and in
q less degree in this country tor the
use of civil dress or plain clothes by q
regular military or naval officer en-
titled to wear uniforms at all times,
as was actually done by officers in the
army or navy of the great nations up
to the close of the last century.
In the present day there seems to
be such burning desire on the part
of officers in the army and navy of the
United States to get rid of the evil
dences of their presumably honorable
calling that the wearing of multi, or
plain clothes, is an almost universal
practice. Whether 1t is for the good
of the country that the objection to
wearing uniforms on the streets out
side of parades or public professions,
is extending to the mont commissioned
officers and privates of the regular
service, is q question that is just now
receiving considerable attention from
thoughtful citizens.
Turning for a moment to the philol-
gical issue involved in the word
"mufti" it appears that the term is of
Arabic origin, and was adopted into
the Hindoostani tongue to express
the assumption of plain clothes by
the officers in the service of the old
East India Company, which was a
commercial corporation invested with
military powers. In the original
Arabic "mufti" indicated a person,
not thing, namely a doctor or
teacher of religions or Mohammedan
law, which is It's present primary in
depreciation in Turkey. The French
speak of an officer"in multi" as zen
Pekln" thus again recogn izing the
Oriental origin Of the word. The
German army uses "mufti"to express
the assumption of civilian clothes
after being in uniform, and the Rus.
SLAMS recognize the term in the same
| sense.

The Star of Empire.

From the Topeka Capitol.
The census of 1890 will be q prolific
source of calculations and predictions
of a statistical nature, but of none so
universally interesting, so significant
and momentous as the gradual absorp-
ton by the west of the predominance
of political power. The supremacy of
the east is near its close. Power is
falling from its hands. Chicago, type
of the rushing, growing west, is larger
than Boston, larger than Brooklyn,
larger than Philadelphia-a greater
and larger city than Vienna, st.
Petersburg, or Constan tinople, than
Glasgow and Liverpool combined,
and half as large as Paris, the most
cosmopolitan city on the globe.
OF the first twenty cities in point of
population, seven are west of Ohio,
two are in Ohio and three more are as
far west as Ohio; 60 per cent being
therefore, west of the Alleghenies.
The statistics for the smaller cities
will, of course, show very much more
The center of population will appear
considerably west of where it stood
ten years ago. 1t will continue to
move rapluly WESTWARD unlll on
line of longitude with Chicago, when
the transposition of that city to the
eastern side of the line will hold it
nearly steady probably for some
years.
The supremacy of the west is pos
sibilitv full of interest, to be an ticapa-
ted with great enthusiasm. When the
sceptre is transferred, as shown by
the force of legislation in congress,
the west will put on "boom" to
which all other booms will be as mere
wind; and will go forward in political,
commercial, financial and Industrial
importance with strides to which all
its previous progress will be as the
crawling of mud turtle.

MOON-FACED PIRATES CAUGHT
Forty Highwaymen of Chinese Wat
ers Captured or Killed.


ers Captured or Killed.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
The Viceroy of Canton reports the
capture of a large number of pirates,
and solicits rewards tor the officers
who specially distinguished them
selves In effecting their apprehension.
The coast of the Canton province has,
1t is stated, been infested for many
years past by bands of pirates, who
have formed themselves into power
full organizations and harass the coun-
try far and wide. The chief of all
these societies, whose number is con-
siderably over hundred, was a no.
torious pirate Tseng-Iu-yu-chuan
whose depredations had long been
the terror of the coast. Last year his
principal confederate, Tseng Ya-chieh,
fell into the hands of the authorities,
whereupon he organized another band
and continued as active in crime as
before.
After capturing twelve pirates the
imperial troops came In sight of two
pirate vessels, one of which carried
the Chief Tseng-lu yu-chuan himself.
A brisk fire was at once opened on
both sides, and the pirate chief being
wounded and closely pressed, was
obliged to take to the water
and swim for his life. Finding es.
cape hopeless he stabbed himself and
was arrested in q dying condition.
The vessel having been boarded sew.
enteen foreign guns and twenty.
three charts containing the pirates
plans of campaign were among the
| plumber.
Tseng's evidence was to tho effect
that as boy he had joinedot the
rebels in the Canton province, and
had subsequently taken up piracy as
q profession. For nearly quarter o.
a century he claimed to have beer
the undisputed leader of all the pi
rates in the Canton waters, and hi.
yearly income, which, exclusive o
disbursement, he estimated at sew
eral tens of thousands of taels, wa!
shared In by the other members O
the confederacy. He died before b,
could be sent to Can, but his heaC
was exposed to the public gaze, a.
were also those of twelve of his fol
lowers, who shared his fate. Tw,
other parties of troops which wer
sent by Admiral Fang to scour tn,
neighborhood succeeded in capturing
thirty-one pirates and three vessels
Several of the prisoners proved to b.
heads of pirate organizations which
have been preying on the country 70
years. Altogether over forty pirate
were brought to justice.
