Of Interest to Managers of Plan
fatiOuS.

A Model Plant is notcomplete without
Electric Power, thus dispensing with
small Engines.
Why not generate your power from
one CENTRAL Station ? One generator
can furnish power to your Pumps, Centri
fugals, Elevators, Flows, Railways and
HOSTS also furnish light and power for
a radius of from 10 TO 20 miles.
Electric Power being used saves the
labor Of hauling coal in your field, also
water, and does away with hing priced
engineers, and only have one engine 10
look after in your mill.
Where water power is available, il
costs nothing to generate Electric Power.
THE HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY is
now ready to furnish Electric Plants
and Generators of all descriptions AZ
short notice, and also has on hand a
large stock of Wire, Chandeliers, and all
Electrical Goods.
All orders will be given prompt stten-
ton, and estimates furnished for Light
ing and Power Plants; also attention is
given to House and Marine Wiring.

THE PUGET SOUND FLYER.
A Little Steamer Which Has an I'm
riValed Record.

The Flyer is the name of little
steamer that makes four daily trips
on Puget Sound between Seattle and
Tacoma. In 1894 the Flyer made
the record of travelling $685. miles
between those two cities. This is
said to be the largest record ever
made by any river steamer. More
over, the total loss of time for the
year was only 43 minutes. There
was considerable fog and smoke over
Puget Sound at times during the
year, but the Flyer went sailing
right through and established the
name of always being on time, come
what might.
The distance between Seattle and
Tacoma by water is 27k miles; by
land it is about 40. The Flyer is
run in competition with the through
trains, and practically makes the
same time, SO that it is a more
populur means of travel than the
cars. The round trip of 55 miles be-
tween the two cities is covered in
three hours, and the four trips day
make the total distance travelled
daily 220 miles, a greater distance
than any steamer in the East prob
ably anywhere else travels in "a
hours. The distance travelled by the
Fall River boats each day is 181
miles. That covered by the Troy
boats is less, of course, as is the dis
lance covered by any of the Sound
craft. The Sandy Hook boats go
about $50 miles a. day. The total
distance covered by the Cape May
excursion boats from Philadelphia in
the summer time is about $50 miles,
so that the Flyers achievement of
22O is probably unrivaled.
The Flyer is very trim little
craft. She is a screw about 200 feet
long, and runs SO smoothly at her
high speed that scarcely vibration
of the hull can be noticed. She also
makes very little disturbance in the
water. There is almost no bow wave,
and the wake is hardly greater than
that of a river tug. The passengers,
however, can see that the craft is go
ing very fast. Her machinery was
made on the Delaware, and was rig
ged by experts from the East. There
is probably not another vessel in salt
or fresh water that can show such
record, not only of fast speed, but Of
continuous work.

entine Monitor that was lying at
the pier. The barkentine's spanker
boom was broken, and the Bears

her headgear badly strained. The
tide carried the cutter against the

stringer was smashed and some
damage done to the main struc-

An iron can-buoy, which broke
adrift from it's moorings off Canso,
Nova Scotia, in January, 1894, has
now almost reached the coast of
Great Britain, having been report
ed in long. 170 on February 9th.
Although It's course was first adrift
south to near the latitude Of Hat
teras, it thereafter made a pretty
direct line across the ocean all
alone, following the route of the
regular steamships with but few
deviations, and has been reported
times. AS it is in good
condition, apparently, and a valua-
bic buoy, it may yet do duty on
the European coast without having
cost anybody anything for trans
portation.-Commercial News.

National Cane Shredder
(PATENTED UNDER THE LAWS OF
THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.

Mr.. John A. Scott, Manager
of the Hilo Sugar Company
gives the following wonderful
record of the working of the
NATIONAL CANE SHRED
DER, which was erected by
their works at the commence
ment of the crop just har-
vested:
During the past week the
Hilo Sugar Company's mill ex-
ceeded any of it's former
records by closing the l25
hours grinding with an output
of 3008 tons. This is fully 10
per cent. more than the best
work of former years.
"The three roller mill being
26 in. by 81 in. and the two
roller mill 30 in. by 60 in. The
first mill doing this amount Of
work in an efficient manner
and with great ease, compared
with work on whole cane,
owing to thorough preparation
of the cane by the National
Cane Shredder, recently cree
ted by the Company. And
by its use the extrac-
tion has been increased from
8 per cent. to 5per cent. on all
kinds of cane, and in some
cases so per cent. has been
reached; the average being IS
to 78 per cent, according to
quality.
81 continue to find the
megass from shredded cane
better fuel than from whole
cane.
"The shredder has been
working day and night for
seven months and has given
me entire satisfaction, having
shredded during that time
about seventy thousand tons
of cane, and a large part Of it
being hard ratoons.
''The shredder and engine
require very little care OF
attention"

of these shredders may be seen

No PROHIBITION THERE During a
recent cOurt-martial trial held in New
Mexico, a cOlored sergeant was called
to testify against lieutenant, formerly
his troop commander, now charged
before the court with intoxication and
neglect of duty.
You say that the lieutent told you
to march the troop down to So-and-So's
ranch, and there go into camp" asked
the judge-advocate.
Yes, sah," replied the African
sergeant.
WELL from previous testimony, it
seems that your troop went that night
without water
No, sab we didn't git no water"
We'll, how was that? There was
plenty OF water at the ranch. They

New York church declares that he

The text that evening was, Let

yielded to a desire to sleep. He came
suddenly to his senses, however, when
the minister exclaimed, loudly, "More

riedly went to the stop-cock. and turned
on full head of gas. A ripple OF

even before some one told him that the
minister had been quoting the dying
words of Goethe.

VEST ON y HIGH HORSE.
He Takes Occasion to Free His Niiad
on the Presidents Iiccommcnda-

on the Presidents I;ccunncnda-
tionS.
WASuINGTON. January 3C.--A very
animated consideration of the financial
| question took place in the Senate, as
| soon as the session opened today.
MIR. Cullom, Republican, of Illinois,
| presented Il dispatch from all the lead
ing banks Of Chicago, urging that the
Presidents recommendations be car
ricd out at the earliest day possible.
Mr.. Vest, Democrat, Of Missouri,
| followed with IL similar dispatch from
the ST. Louis Chamber o. Commerce,
| which was the text Tor one OF ttfe most
stirring scenes that the Senate has
| heard in many days.
Mr.. Vest said the Chamber OF Com
mcrcc Of St. Louis did not represent
| the feeling Of the people Of Missouri,
or of the country, on the financial
question. He did not believe the pco-
pie favored retirement Of $500, 900. 600
of grccnbacks and treasury notes and
the substitution OF no currency at all.
He did not believe in the favored gold
obligations running fifty years, with
the interest aggrcgating $40, 900, 600 at
the end of that time. 1t was selfish
suggestion that pOSterity should he
left to pay this bad debt. The ubliga-
tions Of this Senate were as binding
toward pOsterity as toward the present
generation. 1t was Us much the duty
of the Senate to protect the suggcs-
tion Of the President to look after the
present ana let the future look after
Itself.
Mr.. Vest was by this time putting
such energy and dramatic force in
his speech that he was given mech at
tention.
THE President has declared war
on silver" proceeded Mr.. Vest He
would make lis accessories TO this
effort to fix the gold Standard upon us. y
The Senator asked if any man really
believed the supposed emergency
could not he met by treasury payments
in silver And yet the impression
was being conveyed to the public shat
the country was on the brink Of ruin.
"If the President had the power he
would force us TO the single gold
standard. But" said Mr.. Vest, inn
prcs,lvcy and raising his right hand
in emphasis. 80 far as am concerned,
will never vote to issue bonds to
secure gold and place us on single
gold standard.
Mr.. Cull0m rose ut this point with Il
! question as to what the finance com
| mite. OF which Mr.. Vest is a member.
intended doing towards securing some
definite policy.
Mr.. Vest paused for a moment before
replying, and then said 1T might
! be more proper TO let thc chairman
Of the committee answer that question.
| But in his absence | will say that 40
not believe there is the sighScst pos
! sibilty Of the finance committee agree
! ing on auy measure to report to the

Mr.. Vest closed with the emphatic
declaration that party could never
lead him to aid in fastening the gold
standard on the country. If the ST.
Louis chamber of commerce wanted
some one to help toward that end, they
would have to find some one else than
him.
