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 unaccompaaied by
heat or au 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 t&llow candle. A third
cause we believe to be largely the fact
that when electric lighting was first in
troduced 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 oil the Gov
eminent service together with our own
We offer lighting at the Government
fat rates as follows:
Stores and offices per Is C. p. light per
month $1.00
Residences per Is c. p. light per
month-to 5 lights scots.
Residences per is c. p. light per
month-excess OF lights 60cts
We do muci, better Than this fcI our
consumers. We place lights in every
nook and corner OF your premises if you
wish, measure the light you use, and
charge for actual consumption only.
You use light when and where you
need it and you don't forget TO shut it off
when that need is satisfied. nor do you
feel bound to keep the lights going from
dusk till dawn in order to secure the
value O, stipulated bill. We in turn
know exactly what We have delivered to
you and can figure with certainty upon
definite and rock bottom basis.
The cost OF a 10 e. y. light per hour is
IA 70 IL cents, varying with the
efficiency of the lamp.
The probable cost to you per month is
clearly indicated by the following

BRIDE OF A SAILOR.
A Contract Marriage on the Cruiser
Charleston.

VALLEJO, August 27.-Justice of
the Peace Lamont of this place
was called on Saturday afternoon
to unite two young folks in mar
riage under rather unusual clrcum-
stances. More properly speaking
he assisted them to unite them
selves. Howard Hilborn is natty
sailor on the United States ship
Charleston, now bound for China.
For several weeks Towards ship
mates have wondered why he SO
frequently asked for liberty from
Saturday evening till Monday
morning. Those who occasionally
obtained liberty at these times lost
sight of Howard on arriving on the
Vallejo side, and while most of the
boys concluded that Cupid had
their shipmate under parole as a
prisoner, up to now they have been
unable to find where he made his
hebdomadal reports. Time drew
nigh for the beautiful white cruiser
to trip her anchor and bear away
to Far Cathay her cargo of human
anticipations and regrets, cynics
and lovers, regardless OF ali feel
ings, save that of duty to the land
whose ensign she floats.
By the morning train from Napa
there came a pretty young woman,
who took hack up town and in
quired for Justice Lamont. To
that functionary she unfolded her
tale-that she was Miss Mary +.
Donnelly, of Napa that she loved
Howard Hilborn, of the Charleston,
and thought she was loved in re-
turn, but had doubts of the fidelity
of man in the abstract to just that
extent that she proposed to make
herself Mrs. Hilborn before her
sailor laddie was exposed to the
charms of Midway Plaisance beau
ties on their own soil.
The Judge asked her if she had
brought a license. No; she did
not know that was requisite
thought he could tie the knot with
out any papers. When she learned
the license was essential, and Mon
day morning was the earliest mo-
ment when such document would
be procurable, her excitement was
great.
He'll go away tomorrow morn
ing" she cried, land some Jap will
run away with him "
His Honor sympathized, and,
after consulting authorities, ex-
pressed the belief that he had
solved her difficulty. He would
draw up a contract of marriage,
she would sign it and her Romeo
could sign it; then she might rest |
easy as Mrs. Howard Hilborn even
though Yum Yum" and a whole |
chorus kidnapped her better half.
The document was soon drawn
up and signed by Miss Donnelly, |
and, as the Judge bid her good-by |
ard lit fresh cigar, the delighted
girl hurried to the city front,
whence two stout boatmen rowed
her to the cruiser, where she found
her lover. The gallant First Lieu
tenant agreed to witness the joint
signatures, and five different ships
bells rang out wedding welcome.

Mrs. Lease at Topeka.

Mrs. M. L. Lease talked to all
the people who could crowd them
selves into Hamilton Hall on Satur-
day night. Every available inch of
standing room was taken and the
stairway crowded to the sidewalk.
Many that came found that an effort
to get into the hall would be useless
and went home. Mrs. Lease clearly
demonstrated that she is the best
drawing card in the Populist party,
even though she is not on the regu-
lar speakers list.
She was introduced by Il. j.
Sloat and talked for more than an
hour. There were no personal allu-
sions in her address and she discuss
ed Populism rather than mon. The
greater part of her address was on
the lines of finance and tariff. She
held the attention of the audience
and only once was she interrupted
when some one asked: "What about
the statehouse crowd" She did
not or pretended she did not under
stand the question. and asked that
it be repeated, but the questioner
refused to repeat it.
The Capitol quartette furnished
the music.
In the afternoon Mrs. Lease adj
dressed a good audience at the same
place, when she confined herself
almost entirely to an advocacy of
the suffrage amendment.--State

-Plaindealer

GARNET, KANSAS, Der. 81, 1894.
EDITORS A GITAToR: Please allow me
an opportun ity to say TO your read
ers that the charge made in the
ican.Plaindealer, Garnett Ea-
gle and other Republican county pa
pers, under date If October 26th, is
absolutely false, so far as it charges
me with accepting fee of $3.50
or any other sum in the case of the
state VS.. Hugh La Toilette. That
amount was certified down to tho
board of county commissioners as
part of the costs in the case by the
clerk of the district court. On ac-
count of being absent at Topeka
during that session of the board of
county commissioners, | did not have
any opportunity to examine the cost
bill in this case, and to mark this
item for disallowance, as | have
marked the county attorneys fees
In II dozen cases before, the law be
ing that the county attorney is en-
titled to the fee if collected from the
defendant, but not if the county
pays the costs. So, under these
circumstances, the amount was al
lowed and warrant for same issued
to me, as published in the list of ac-
counts allowed by the county board
of commissioners. But, knowing
that this fee was not due me from
the county, | DID NOT ACCEPT IT,
though thus placed accidentally, OR
BY DESIGN. almost in my hand
Moreover, did not receipt the
county clerk for this order, while
did receipt him for the orders GOV
ering the amounts due me, and
which presented TO the county
treasurer for payment. For tn,
truth of these statements | refer tC
the records in the Offices of the coun
} ty clerk and treasurer of Anderson
county.
In conclusion, | desire to say tina

AVETERAN DENIED
THE PRIVILEGE OF BURIAL IN THE SOLD
IERs' PLOT IN THE TOPEKA CEMETERY.

William D. Murray, father of
Mrs. Alonzo Wardall, died last night
at his daughters home, 1921 Quincy
street. Paralysis was the cause OF
his death and he was in his 10th
year. Mr.. Murray was an old SOL
der, serving in Company K, TWEEN
ty-seventh Iowa infanty. The tun-
eral was held at 2 p. III. today.
Mr.. Murray was a member of the
Grand Army and it was his dying
wish that he might be buried in the
old soldiers plot in the Topeka Gem
etery. Mr.. Wardall tried to arrange
it, and was told by the cemetery
management that none but pauper
veterans could be buried there.
Mr.. Wardall was anxious to pay for
the privilege. He is unwilling,
however, to make affidavit that they
are paupers. He says Mr.. Murray
helped to pay for the soldiers plot
in the cemetery.-State Journal
And this, dear reader, is in Tope-
ka and Shawnee county, which are
and always have been under Repub-
lican rule. Friends of the old sol
der, indeed!

vices in these six important cases IN
several different courts | have charg'
ed and the county commissioners
have allowed me a fee of Sl50. In
stead ofhaving any apology to Make

remark of Mrs. Caudle, inclined to
say, "now l come to think oft, sl5o
is hardly enough"
Discouraged by the outlook in the
supreme court of the state, the First
National Bank, of Garrett, sued out
an injunction in the United States
circuit court, for the taxes OF 1871
2.3. ! did not feel disposed to take
upon myself the responsibility OF
trying so important case without
assistance. This | informed the
board and they instructed me to
consult with Judge Bergen, and in
case that he advised us that we
could win the case, to secure his
assistance, which / did, and we are
going to find out if the owner OF ma
tional bank stock is any better off
than the owner of state bank stock,
for it is practically decided that the
latter must pay without exemptions
if properly assessed.
"Nor is this ALL" exclaims your
Republican Voter" ''there was a
claim for a per cent lee for collect
ing $4,000 from the Bank OF Car
nett" This fee is provided by law
(Sec. 1899 R. S. 1881 and is in
tended to cause county attorneys to
be active and vigilant in collecting
money due their counties. In cases
where large amounts are involved
the fees appear TO be unreasonably
excessive, but the law remains the
same. 1t is too lengthy a matter
to enlarge on here. The county
commissioners have not allowed it
and perhaps never will. While l
remain their adviser / shall never
quarrel with them about fees, but
accept their decision as final.
Now with one additional state
ment, which covers the whole sub
iect, | close. In these injunction
cases the county will be entitled to
recover from the defendants all costs
on account of these suits, and al
though the county pays its attor'
ney's fees in the first instance, they
will be entitled to recover them back
from the defendants, "hence these
tears" on the part Of Republican
