Electric Lights for q Cts a Month.

Honolulu uses the electric current for
lighting purposes more generally than do
most American cities OF its population.
The reasons are found partially in the eli
mate conditions which urge the
/ adoption OF light unaccompauied by
! heat or an offensive odor. Furthermore,
no gas company has found our city an
! inviting field for investment chiefly be-
cause OF its scattered condition and the
consequent large cost Of reaching
| consumers; and electricity has thus met
no competitor except the original oil
lamp and the tallow candle. 4 third
| cause we believe to be largely the fact
that when electric lighting was first in
PRODUCED by the Government, it was
offered TO consumers on basis Of rates,
which in many cases of commercial
lighting and especially for night light
ing, considerably discounted the cost OF
oil for the same amount OF illumination.
The demand thus created soon reached
the limit OF that Government supply.
Today the Hawaiian Electric Company
possesses working capacity equal to
more than three times the present COM
bined incandescent output OF the Gov
ernmert service together with our own
We offer lighting at the Government
fat rates as follows:

While Charles Girard was max

tie eight-year-old boy, named
frankie Altman, was run over
by a horse, ridden by man, whose
name could not he learned. The
horse stepped on the little fellows
ankle and injured it in a most
horrible manner. The boy was
picked up by kind gentleman
who saw the occurrence, and
placed on a bench near by, where
he was attended to. The unfOrtu-
nate lad mOaned most piteously
from the severe pain he was I'M
dergoing, which attracted quite a
crowd Of curiosity-seekers.
The careless rider, whoever he
was, although seeing what had
happened, did not even stop to

The Wilkes Barre Record says :
"a high class concert was that

MISS MAUDE JEFFRIES.
Miss Maude Jeffries, who, only
just turned twenty, has acquired
the proud distinction of being the
leading lady of Wilson Barrett's
famous London company, is a
Southern girl by birth and educa-
ton. She was born on her fathers
plantation near Glendale, Missis-
sipi, and was educated in Memphis,
Tennessee.
She had the usual experience of
stage struck aspirants, until final
ly she secured position in Angus
tin Days theatre, New York, as an
"understudy." Havinglinfiuential
friends in England, she visited
them, and they, taking lively in
terest in her, procured for her an
introduction to Mr.. Wilson
Barrett, who, believing the
young girl had talent gave her
minor position in his company.
Miss Jeffries, elated at the pros
pect of becoming an actress, stud
led hard and persistently and soon
began to reap her reward. Her
promotion was rapid and in less
than three years after she entered
Mr.. Barrett's company, she was
made it's leading lady. Refined,
highly educated and experienced
by travel, in private life, Miss JEFF
fries is as charming as she is de.
lightful on the stage. Her friends
firmly believe that the time is not
far distant when the mantle Of
tragedy, laid aside by Mary Ander-
son, will be assumed by her, and
found to fit perfectly.
She will be seen in support of
Mr.. Barrett, at the Grand Opera
house, Wednesday night.

SHE THREATENED TO KILL.
A Negro Woman Creates a Lively
Scene on Gibson Street.


Celeste Robinson Is a ''culluC
Pussin," twenty-nine years Of age
She goes on a rampage occasionally
and becomes desperate. Just such
an occasion happened yesterday
lies" dwelt under one OF her pecu
liar hallucinatiOns and grabbed q
Ratchet. She took her stand In
the front of her house at No
22l Gibbs street, where she
lives with her husband
for she is married, holding the
Ratchet in her right hand, with
arm extended, shouted, "Pll put
mark on de fust pusson dat tries to
cross me; keep away, l tell yer;
keep awayw
Her husband, suspecting nothing
good, wisely summoned the police
Officers Parker and Coy were soon
present with the patrol wagon.
AS the woman saw the OFF,
GERS she became more violent.
The officers instructed the
husband to enter the house
from the rear and slowly creep up
to the woman and grab the hatch
ct, while they endeavored to enter
tain her. Robinson obeyed, and
soon succeeded in securing the
Ratchet from her. Immediately
thereafter Parker and Coy sprang
to her, and with the assistance Of
the woman's husband, the three
men had hard job to land her in
the wagon. She kicked, scratched
and bit, and on arrival at the sta
ton, Parker had to wash his hands
and face to remove the blood
caused by the scratches and bites
of the dangerous Celeste. On the
way to the station the husband
had to hold her to the bottom Of
the wagon.
The husband preferred charge
of lunacy against her today, and
her case will be tried in the Pro-
bate court. According to her &C.
tions yesterday, which were wit
messed by a reporter for the LIGHT,
restraint is urgently required for
the woman for the safety of the
community.
She had a similar attack about
four weeks ago and threatened to
kill people. At that time the Off
GERS succeeded in safely placing
her in Jail by leading her to believe
that she was being taken to the
doctors Office" as she was sick
and required medical treatment. A
charge of lunacy was brought
against her. She was tried in the
Probate court and released on the
grounds that the case was not suffi-
Gent ly severe to require restraint
