The annual meeting Of the Maine Press

average, which may possibly be due to the
fact that tile clerk Of the weather rarely

the usual thing. and this year it was rain,
with gale of wind Fortunately the
storm was If short duration. and Thurs
day was a bright and pleasant winter 5

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
fat rates as follows:
Stores and Offices per Is c. p. light per
month $1.00
Residences per 10 c. p. light per
month-to 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
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 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.
The probable cost to You per month is
clearly indicated by the following
analysis of total charges made for resi-
dence lighting during June. Average
number of lights per consumer, June 80,
%; average amount paid for months
lighting per consumer 81 81 average cost
per light for the month 21cts. In view
OF these prices and the positive advan-
tages of safety, convenience. simplicity
and comfort, you can i'll afford to use
candles or oil. We furnish fittings and
wiring of only the best grades and for
obvious advantages at the lowest reason
able figures.

An Evening Blaze.

A fire occurred Saturday even
ing, in a cottage on Young street,
owned by u Portuguese barber
named Alves. The fire broke out
about half-past seven. Both Mr..
and Mrs. Alves were out at the
time, and when the engines arrived
the building was badly scorched.
The house and furniture were in
sured for $1,000, but large amount
of the furniture was saved. The
origin of the fire is unknown.
The fire department did splendid
work after it arrived at the scene
of the confagration, and saved the
house from total destruction.

Arthur Featherstone, an Eng
lishman, cut and seriously wound
ed his wife Saturday afternoon
shortly before A o'clock. Feath-
erstone is now in Jail, charged
with assault with a dangerous
weapon, with intent to commit
murder.
The cause of the trouble started,
according to the most authentic
account, in the jealousy of Mrs.
Featherstone. It seems that her
husband has been, for some time,
out of work, and the wife, who is
a dressmaker, has been supporting
him. Not satisfied with this, how
ever. Featherstone has been very
attentive to a native girl called
Emily. Saturday, Mrs. Feather
stone accused her liege lord of his
inidelity. The man was under
the influence of liquor at the time,
and denied the accusation. The
wife persisted in her statements,
and Featherstone became enraged.
He drew a big clasp knife from his
pocket, and siashed at his wife.
The woman put up her hand to
ward off the blow, and her wrist
was terribly cut. But by doing so
she probably saved her life, for had
the knife struck her where her
assailant intended, the abdomen,
the woman would have undoubt-
eddy been killed. All this hap
pened at the King Street House,
where the couple lived. The whole
porch was spotted with blood, and
had the appearance of a SHAMELESS
after the affair was over.
Featherstone, as soon as he saw
what he had done, started for the
police station. On the way he met
a police officer and gave himself
up. The woman's injuries were
dressed by DR.. McGrew who took
several stitches in her wrist. She
was feeling better yesterday, al
though in considerable pain.
Featherstone expresses great re-
morse for his act and, of course,
says he would never have done it
had he not been drunk. He denies
any knowledge of the native woman,
but it has been shown that he was
with her at the 'Blue Gate" the
night before the cutting occurred.
Arthur Mcdowell, the owner of
the King street house, was seen
yesterday afternoon. He said,
Mrs. Featherstone is better than
she was yesterday, although still in
great pain. She will prosecute the
case against her husband, as she
has given him up as bad job. The
man is absolutely no good. He has
neglected his wife for some time,
but has been living off her earn
ings."
Another story that has found
currency in regard to the affair, is
that Mrs. Featherstone had given
her husband all her money except
SIS. This she tried to keep for an
emergency, but he demanded il to
buy liquor. She refused to give it
to him, and took it to Mrs. Nc
Dowell, asking her to keep it. This
so enraged the man that he as
saulted her with the above result
When Featherstone arrived at
the station house he was searched.
But in some way the searchers
overlooked a big knife which the |
man had concealed about him. |
Yesterday morning, when the Off
Ger on duty looked into his cell, he |
saw blood on the floor, and, open
ing the door, he found that Feath-
erstone had tried to kill himself |
by cutting an artery in his wrist. |
He had slashed himself both across
and lengthways of his arm, and
made a nasty cash. However, he
