Electric Bicycle Lamp.

Mr.. T. G. Quinn, who has charge
Of the electrical department of E.
o. Hall & Co, is using an electric
bicycle lamp, which is destined to
become very popular among cy-
clists. The electricity for the light
is furnished by a storage battery,
located in the bottom Of the lamp.
This battery viii furnish a one-can-
die power light for ten consecutive
hours. i switch is arranged on the
top Of the lamp, so that the light
can be cut off and the battery
closed when not desired for use.
Messrs. Hall & Co. have q number
Of these lamps on hand, besides
similar ones for buggies, carriages,
etc, al constructed On the same
principle. These electrical lamps
are being used to a large extent in
the United States, and viii, no
doubt, soon become popular here,
being less expensive than the oil
lamps. Besides being q saving In
the cost OF fuel, additional adyan-
tages are claimed for the electric
lamps In the matter Of heat and
smell

ONE FOR THE NAvAHOE.
The American Yacht sails Away from
the CalIuna-

LONDON, August 5.-The NavahOe
captured . prize today. The race,
open for yachts above 40 tons rating,
took place under the auspices of the
Royal Southampton Yacht Club.
1t was forty two miles, and the
prizes 1910 to the winner and q silver
medal to the captain Of the winner.
Only two of the big yachts-the
American NayahOe and the Calluna-
started. For q time the CalIuna ap-
peared TO hold her own fairly well,
but as soon as the vessels came on a
wind the NavahOe began to draw
away percepGbly. Time when each
rounded the mark boat off LymiDgton
was as follows NavahOe, l2h., 26m.,
30s. CalluDa, 12h., 39m., 1ss. It was
now a free reach toward the Warner
nghtship. With sheets eased well off
the two yachts made rapid way. The
NavahOe set her enormous jib topsail,
which drew well, and the Calluna
tried her balloon fOresail. The farther
they went, however, the more the
Navahoe slipped away. The wind
became lighter and lighter. but the
American boat continued speeding
through the water like a witch. There
was just enough breeze to put the
gunwale to a level with the water.
Time at the finish was: Navahoe, 4h.,
33m., rs; Calluna, 4h., 3im., 2Os.
The chagTin Of Americans abroad
over the former failure Of the Navahoe
has not been lessened by the super
eilious sympathy of the English news
papers. But there is a feeling that
Mr. Carroll was over-conident, and
the nearness Of 50 much royalty and
fashion upset him 4 bit.
The great races are yet 70 be sailed,
and even the English do not say that
the Navahoe IS "out Of it."

DEATH OF MRS. E. ORDwAI
She Succumbs To An Operation
Performed In San Francisco.

The sad news of the death OF
Mrs E. Ordway at San Fran
cisco was received by her sons
Friday by the Monowai. Mrs.
0rdway left here in company with
her son George. on May 24th last,
to visit her married daughter, Mrs.
4. Lydiatt, in San Francisco. 1t
was known to her sons when she
left that she was in poor health, as
she had been since the death of her
son, E Ordway, about two years
ago, but her death was not antici-
pated. The cause OF her death was
the removal Of an internal cancer.
After the operation she improved
for some time, but suddenly took a
relapse and died on August 10th.
Her remains were temporarily
placed in the receiving vault of the
Oddfellows' cemetery at San Fran
cisco Her last wish was to be
buried by the side of her son, who
was drowned while swimming in
the harbor here in 1892. It is at
present undecided whether her re-
mains viii be brought here or those
Of her son taken from here to San
Francisco. Mrs. OrdEay was born
in Cleveland, Ohio, and was SO
years Of age at the time of her
death. She leaves three sons
George A. Ordway, of the firm of
0rdvay & Porter, ". F. Ordway,
Z. J. 0rdEay-a daughter and tEo
grandchildren. The deceased lady
was an active and energetic mem
Der of the Women's Board and
other societies, both here and in
San Francisco, and her death will
be regretted By z large circle Of her
friends and acquaintance.

On lSSt Tuesday morning when vice
and deputy [. 5. Consul-General W,
Porter Boyd came down to the con.
Sulate at twenty minutes past six
O'Clock. he found the door leading
from the hall into the shipping office
open. This fact gave Mr.. Boyd some
T what of q surprise, and thinking that
some one had entered the office during
the previous evening, he proceeded to
make an examination of the premises.
Upon entering the private office of
Consul Severance he found the
double-sliding doors connecting with
the bath and storage rooms wide
open. A further investigation re-
vealed that one of the windows in the
storage room was open, and that a
library case, in which were kept papers
belonging TO the consulate, was also
open and the contents in a disar-
ranged condition. Realizing then
that some one had forcibly en-
tered the consulate, Mr.. Boyd
proceeded to make a minute ex-
animation OF the books, papers, draw
eTs, etc, with the result that num-
Der of drawers in the different desks
were found open and that the
papers contained therein had been in
terfered with. Ii was also discovered
that the top of box containing con-
sular documents, which was in the
private office Of Consul Severance, had
been pried off and the papers strewed
on the floor. Although much disorder
was manifest throughout the offices of
the consulate, nothing had been re-
moved from the building. In the
stOreroom Consul Severance has
number of bundles and boxes of house
hold artielrs packed ready for ship
ment. Several of these showed evi
dence of having been tampered with,
and some of them were partially brok-
en- into.
Mr.. Boyd reported the matter i'm
medistely TO the police authorities,
but up to the present time no action
has been taken in the matter. There
have been several theories advanced
as to the possible and probable
cause of this general upheaval
of the consulate, some of which
may, no doubt, afford the police
a clue to work upon. On Mon
day evening 3 meeting was held in
the Chamber of Commerce room, and
this circumstance may have been
taken advantage of to enter the con-
sulate and use light without attract
ing undue attention. There is no
question but what an entrance was
through q window on the !
Fort street side by way of the awning
into the store room of the consulate, |
from which it was an easy matter to |
enter the adjoining rooms. The street |
door on Merchant street being locked |
gives color to this belief.
1t is understood that Consul-Gen-
eTal Severance will call on the mar |
shall and ask why no steps have been |
taken to investigate the matter.
1t would perhaps be advantageous
TO refer cases of this sort to some COM |
Detent detective officer to investigate, |
which would relieve the regular pO-
lice force of this extra class Of labor. |
