STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
The Government Electric Light
Station Receives a Bolt.
From Thursdays Daily

From Thursdays Daily.)
About a quarter of Z last even
ing, lightning struck a dynamo at
the Electric Light Station in Nuu-
anu Valley, and was the cause of
the sudden extinguishing of all the
Government lights in town. The
damage will be repaired today, and
by tonight all will be running as
usual.
When the accident occurred, Ka-
lama Sylvester was in charge of
the station. He says that the
lightning struck several times, and
that each bolt was heavier than its
predecessors. The last one that
struck, and that did all the dam
age, lasted two seconds, and burn
ed out the ampe-emeter on the
dynamo that runs the Incandes-
cent lights
Sylvester was running the dyna-
mos almost at full speed, 900 rev.
olutions a minute, which is equiva-
lent to Sc! volts. The moment the
lightning struck, the engines were
stopped and the lights went out. A
little confusion ensued, but it did
not last long. John Cassidy, the
superintendent, was in town at the
time and was telephoned for. He
quickly arrived at the station.
The disabled dynamo will be re-
paired today, new ampheremeter
put in and it is expected that every
thing will be in running order this
evening. The three remaining dy-
namos were running until midnight
last night, and furnished lights for
the streets.

THE A

Royal Baking Powder IN Strength and
Value go Per Cent. Above Its Nearest
Competitor.
The Royal Baking Powder has the en-
viable record of having received the
highest award for articles of its class
greatest strength, purest ingredients
most perfectly ,mbined-wherever ex-
hibited in competition with others. In
the exhibitions of former years, at the
Centennial, at Paris, Vienna and at the
various State and Industrial fairs, where
it has been exhibited. judges have in
variably awarded the Royal Baking
Powder the highest honors.
At the recent Worlds Fair the ex
aminations for the baking powder
awards were made by the experts OF
the chemical division of the Agricul.
tural Department of Washington. The
official report of the tests Of the baking
powders which were made by this de-
partment for the specific purpose of as
certaining which was the best, and
which has been made public, shows the
l%eavening strength of the Royal to be 160
cubic inches of carbonic gas per ounce
of powder. OF the cream of tartar
baking powders exhibited at the Fair.
the next highest in strength thus tested
contained but 1873 cubic inches of leaven-
ing gas. The other powders gave an
average of Ill. The Royal, therefore,
was found of ~2Opercent. greater leaven.
ing strength than its nearest COMPETE
tor, and A per cent. above the average
of all the other tests. Its superiority
in other respects, however, in the
quality of food it makes as to ineness,
delicacy and wholesomeness, could not
be measured by figures.
1t is these high qualities, known and
appreciated by the women of the coun-
try for so many years, that have caused
the sales of the Royal Baking Powder,
shown by statistics, to exceed the
sales of all other baking powders COM

SummariIy Demolished the Scheme.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Secretary
Gresham has summarily demolished
the scheme, recently mentioned in
these dispatches, to make the bureau
of American republics self-supporting
by the insertion of paid advertising in
its publications. As soonsas the secre-
tary returned from his vacation and
heard the nature of the plan he called
MI. Kurdish and directed him to sus
pend operations at once in regard to
the solicitation of advertisements for
the bureau publications and to cancel
all the contracts made.
The practice of selling the bureau
hand books instead of furnishing them
for gratuitous distribution, which
formed part of the new regime, is not
included in the secre tary's vacating
order and it is presumed will be con
tinued.
