Electric Lights for q Cts a Month";

Honolulu uses the electric current for
lighting purposes more generally than do
most American cities of it's population.
The reasons are found partially in the eli
mate conditions which urge the
adoption of a light unaccompanied 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. 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
fiat 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 90cts.
Residences per Is C. p. light per
month-excess of lights 60cts.
We do much better than this for our
consumers. We place lights in every
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 1t 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 OF a stipulated bill. We in turn
know exactly what We have delivered to
YOU and can figure with certainty upon a
definite and rock bottom basis.
The cost OF Is c. p. light per hour is
IA to IL cents, varying with the
efficiency OF the lamp.

UNCLE SANS NEW LIBRARY.
The Most Perfect Structure of Its Kind In
the World.

The Most Perfect Structure of Its Kind In
the World.
No such library as this new one Of
Uncle Sans was ever planned before.
You must imagine, to begin with, two
iron bookcases, each 60 feet high, 112
feet long and 45 feet wide. They tower
up through the building story on story
in nine tiers. Each bookcase will hold
800, 900 volumes. The metal framework
is made gridiron fashion to permit the
free passage of the atmosphere, for
books need fresh air as much as human
beings, else they rot. The floors are
sheets of iron, and fire could do no dam
age worth mentioning, for books will
not bum. They will only smolder under
favora Die circumstances.
The library has 1900 windows.
Those which admit light to the great
book stacks above described are single
sheets of fine plate glass Looking from
the interior courtyards, the walls in
closing the book stacks appear to be al
most wholly of glass Thus the title on
the back of every volume may be easily
read The shelves already provided will
accommodate 1, 500, 900 books-twice as
many as are now in the library.
The building has been so constructed
as to afford space for other stacks, which
may be put up at any time, and will
hold 2, 700, 900 volumes more. a mil
lion books in addition may be accom-
modated in the courtyards, and there Is
room for more besides. The librarian of
congress a century hence will not find
himself cramped in the least. Wash

He Got the Russet shoes.

Oliver Van Ostend, the New Yorl;
electric expert, is very fond of driving
and a day or so ago told his groom to
have the mare he most favors for q spin
in the park freshly shod. Being III q
merry mood, he added, IF the black
smith has any russell shoes, tell him 20
fit her out with that kind. " What was
his surprise to get bill for complete
set of fine copper shoes, especially made
to order; but, as the joke was on him,
he paid up without protesting. New

Sale of the Thousand Islands.

The government is rejoicing over the
sale of the Thousand islands, which, it
appears, are going off cheap for cash.
Over 800 have been sold for the paltry
sum of $40, 900, or, say, $125 each. The
Ontario government was not given much
time to consider their purchase The
Dominion government has had its own
way. The "nigger in this woodpile' Is
yet TO be discovered. Just what motive
is behind the determination of the gov
eminent to sell the islands in spite Of
public opinion is not evident. Those
who remember all the Rykert and other
timber land deals, and who look back
over the Is years record of this most
corrupt government, will look for reve-
lations III connection with this matter
