MRS. KINNEY'S REMINISCENCES,

Editor of the Waterbury American "by
 Proxy'' on Its Fifteth Anniversary.
 The late Major John c. Kinney of Hartford was at one time editor of the Waterbury American, which published fiftieth anniversary edition Friday with many reminiscent contributions. His wife, Mrs. Kinney, now of New Ha- ven, helped the paper in her husbands absence, and tells many pleasant anec- dotes about the proprietors, staff and contributing friends. A. Bronson AL cott the transcendantalist, was an &C., quaintance, and, having been born in Wolcott, haunted Waterbury,. She says:
 T was recently reminded of MT. AL colt by finding among my Waterbury memorab biia several visiting cards bear ing his signature written in the pecu- liarly grabbed style for which he was so well known. During the fall of 1869 he gave series of conversaziones three, I think-events which were looked forward to with considerable in- terest by those of us who were willing to pay five dollars for the privilege of being instructed by him in the mys- teries of transcendantalism. But at the very first meeting we were impress ed by a sense of our shortcomings and given to understand that we had en- tirely mistaken the true meaning of the word conversazione. Instead of being allowed to take part, even to the ex- tent of asking an occasional question, it was evident that we were expected to moderate our zeal for things occult, to hold our tongues and give exclusive attention to MT. Alcott's views. have a distinct recollection of the very pro- nounced scowl on the usually benign ant brow of the Concord seer as, in an- swer to a question, he replied that he was there to talk and we to listen. After that we listened"
 Of Father Hendricken, afterward bishop of Rhode Island, she says he would ask for puffs for his church fair in this way:
 "Now, do be a good Christian,' he would say, and write first-class mo- tice for us. If you will do it I'll pray for you.'
 "'But,' would be the reply, if you are a good Christian you will pray for us, whether or mo- .s ..

GENERAL GRANT.
How Near His Personal Memoirs
 Came to be Lost.

A Valuable History Written by Dying
 Man. Il Proper Nourishment Enabled
 the Author to Live Until tho Compile
 tion of His Book.
 The fortitude shown by General Grant in writing the second volume of his per sonal memoirs while he was literally on his deathbed, excels even the remarkable courage exhibited by this famous soldier in his many achievements on the field Of battle.
 Col. Fred Grant, speaking of his fathers last illness, says:-
 "During the last four months of his sickness, the principal food of my father, Gen. Grant. was Bovinine and milk; and it was the use of this incomparable food alone that enabled him to finish the second volume of his personal memoirs
 Dr. T. H. Douglas, Gen. Grants physi- clan and friend, cordially indorsed the above statement.
 What Bovinine did for Gen. Grant it has done, and is now doing, for thousands every day. It is the most wonderful con centration into small bulk of all the life-giving, muscle, flesh, and blood-mak- ing clements of lean, raw meat ever pro- duced.
 It is in no way a medicine, simply a food invigorant, that by it's strengthening qualities gives the worn-out or disordered vital centres of the body an impetus that again starts them performing their natu- | ral functions.
 It is indorsed by eminent physicians everywhere, and blessed by thousands whose lives it has actually saved. To neglect to use this wonderful food in all cases of debility, wasting diseases, overwork, stomach and nerve diseases, or | for weak infants, chronic invalids, loss ot vitality in old age, is to throw away one | of the greatest chances of saving life.

In London, the largest city in the

tity No one has free faucet or can
afford to waste his water. Every fam

off If the family uses it up by noon, Ii
gets no more until the next day unless
it can borrow of its neighbor. There l.
no waste. The water Is all measured
and paid for. With three times our
population London does not use one
third as much water as Chicago does,
simply because the water is not wasted.
In Chicago the city furnishes the wa

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 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 OF the Gov
eminent service together with our own.
We offer lighting at the Government
fat rates as follows:
Stores and offices per 10 c. p. light per
month $1.OO
Residences per Is C. p. light per
month-to lights 90cts.
Residences per 10 C. p. light per
month-excess of 5 lights Scots.
We do much better than this fer 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 10 c. p. light per hour is
IL 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 2lcts. In view
OF these prices and the positive advan-
ages 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 Tor
obvious ivantages at the lowest reason
