A few years ago the person who

any but human beings possessed
reasoning powers would have been
considered guilty of rank heresy. But

not bestowed the "divino light" upon
man alone, but upon animals as we'll

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 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 $1.0O
Residences per Is 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 bin. 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 Is 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

dence lighting during June. Average

A Young Lady Who Had n Narrow Escape
From Conviction.
''Stories of conviction on circumstan-
tial evidence are rife in the lawbool1s
and have afforded the plot of many a
novel," said J. S. Haberling of New
York. "a very sad case, not of con-
viction, but almost as bad in its results.
occurred in New York recently. =
young lady of refinement, stranger in
the city, obtained employment as gov
erness in a gentleman's family. One Of
her pupils, girl 10 years old, lost y
diamond ring. 1t was found in the
desk of the governess. She declared
she had not seen it since it was last on
the girls hand, but she was hustled of
70 the Tombs, and unable to give bond
was kept there several days, exposed tn
the companionship of the most depraved
of her sex. She was taken to court i'll
the Black Maria with n negress and n
white woman, both convicted felons, 60
ing to be sentenced. She was kept in
the pen waiting for her case to be called
exposed to the impudent gaze of the
horde of courtroom loafers.
''When her case was called, the court
appointed lawyer to defend her, as she
was penniless. The prosecuting witness
and her father told the story of the find
ing of the missing ring. The presump-
tion that the accused had placed it there
was more or less strong until the law
yer began TO cross question the owner OF
the ring Guessing at the truth, by
adroit questioning he drew from the
unwilling witness the fact that she had
often pried into the desk and dressing
case drawers of the governess, and that
she had been so engaged an hour or 20
before she missed her ring, and the fur
ther fact that the ring fitted loosely.
The judge dismissed the case promptly,
and the accuser's father apologized, but

strung and nervous temperament, wa

experience in the Tombs, and the ii
effects will, it is feared. be permanent. .

AT THE PRIMARIES.
Delegates to the Island Convention
Are Elected.

h1O 1IlCOgCus
The primaries last evening were
all well attended, the heavy rain
not subdueing the political ardor of
the club members. The meetings
were called for eight o'clock, but at
several of the meeting places, those
most interested in the proceedings
gathered earlier and discussed ways
and means of putting their candi-
dates through
ClubNumberO One met at Indepen-
dence hall, where there was large
attendance. FL. Lowrey occupied
the chair. A resolution was passed
to the effect that all the delegates
voted for must be absolutely in
favor of annexation to the United
States. The following were elected
as delegates to the convention: j.
A. Kennedy, A. w. Keech, L. F.
Lansing, ID. l.. Naone and Thomas
Wright.
At the meeting of Club Number
Two, held at the American League
hall, there was also a large attend
ance. George Smith, Faxon Bishop,
J. S. Martin and John Souza were
elected as Delegates. G. L. Carter,
President.
At the Drill Shed, the meeting
place of Club Number Three, G. w.
Day occupied the chair, and over
a hundred were present. j. III.
Fisher, G. w. Day, Charles Crozier,
Julius Asch, III. G.. Wooten and
w. r. Sims were unanimously
chosen to represent the club at the
convention.
Club Number Four also held its
meeting at the American League
Hall, w. P. O'Brien presiding.
One feature of the meeting was that
Daniel Logan, the editor of the Bull
letin, made speech in favor of an
nexation and acknowledged the
fact that that was the destiny of
the islands. The delegates chosen
were T. B. Murray, E. Towse, John
Efinger, w. P. O'Brien and A. K.
Akau. The meeting was a most
enthusiastic one.
Club Number Five met at the
Reformatory School, with j. L..
Carter in the chair. A resolution
similar to the one passed at the
First was adopted, with the addi-
ton that no one should be allowed
to vote for delegates who had not
registered. John Emmeluth, ID.
Keliipo, E. G. Winston and d. P.
Kaiena were elected.
All the meetings were harmoni-
GUS. There was rumor to the
effect that the American League, at
its meeting Wednesday night, had
prepared list of names for each
district and was to try and get
each man on it elected If possible.
If this was the case the programme
was only a partial success, 40 about
half Of the delegates will be from
outside that organization.

The ORIGIN OF FIRE.
Started by a Whale, According to the South
Sea Islanders.

The South Sea islanders tell curious
story Of the origin of fire. If they are
to be believed, they came into possession
Of that useful element III the following
manner: y great whale was once wash
ed ashore upon one of their islands during
the prevalence of terrible hurricane.
The monster became entangled in a
grove of tallow trees "a species of ever
greens whose branches easily ignitel
and while crashing his teeth in his i'm
potent rage struck off a spark which
lighted the grove and consumed both
trees and whale. Fires which are said
to have been perpetuated since the day
of the great whale fire" may yet be
seen burning in many parts of the is
lands.
Another fire legend, believed in by
the inhabitants of the islands to the
north of the ones in which the great
whale fire. is preserved, is TO the effect
that great air dragon probably light
ning) breathed upon a tallow tree and
set its branches on fire. From the Goals
left from this fire they learned of its
great value and have ever since used the
element for domestic purposes and in
their religious ceremonies. They also
have a tradition that the time will come
when the dragon will return for the fire,
and that no man will be able TO with
stand him and save the sacred spark ex-
cept he be person born with pink eyes,
