FOR A LARGER LIBRARY.
PLANS TO ENIEND THE RJILDING
or THE ASSOCIATION.
Another stairwsy-Bettcr Light
$4,000.

Steps are under way to enlarge
and improve the internal arrange
ment Of the Honolulu Library and
Reading Room. The patronage of
the institution, and constant adj
ditions to its fund of reading mat
ter has MADE it necessary to III
crease the size of the building. II
has therefore been decided to ex-
tend the structure back a distance
of fourteen feet. This will bring it
even with the rear end of the room
on the mauka end. The addition
will give to the Library eight new
shelves, an extra stairway to the
second floor and convenient back
entrance to the building.
The principal improvement,
however, or one that will be more
noticeable, will be twelve windows,
six on each side, to be added be-
tween the present reading room
and the rear wall. This will give
ample light and in part of the
library where it is most needed.
The shelves will remain as at pres
ent out from the walls and i'll such
positions that the Librarian can pass
between them with ease. The cost
of the Improvements contemplated
will be about $4,000.

\ GAMBLER Is FINED.
NATIVE WHO HAS BEEN OPERATING
"RUssIAN WAR" GAME.
Chances Thirty to One All Sorts of
Stakes are Risked-An Uncanny
Mascot Used.

Kaea, a son of the soil, was to-
day convicted in the District Court
of operating a gambling scheme
known as Russian War" AS a
result he was sentenced to pay a
fine of $75 and 81. 80 costs. Rus
sian War" is a new game in Homo
lulu. 1t seems to be fascinating
and yet the outcome of the game is
almost invariably in favor of the
banker. 1t seems to have origin
ated among the boat boys long
the wharves and, SO far as is known
at present, is not played anywhere
else.
The game is like this: The
banker has charge of a box con-
tanning dice and a cloth with
figures on it. The players stake
money Oh a certain figure which is
covered by the banker. The dice
is then shaken and if the figure
corresponds with the one on the
cloth the player wins; if not, he is
out. The stakes are from S cents
up. A players chance Of winning
is about one in thirty.
The boat boys do not alwnys
stake money, however. Pigs,
crabs, dogs, birds or anything else
is gambled away and goes to the
banker. Centipedes are used as
mascots in the game.

AN ACCIDENT AT SEA.
WHALE BOAT SwAMPED IN THE
MoLOKAI CHANNEL.
Men Rescued-The Weather
stormy.

Early last night eight native
fishermen in two whale boats, hav-
ing small sails, were making their
way across the channel from Molo-
kri. They had made good haul
and the two boats were loaded with
fish. The wind was blowing al
most a gale, and high seas were
constantly breaking upon the
small crafts. When about the
middle of the channel one Of the
boats shipped a roller and the next
big wave turned her over The
four men and 5000 fish were dump
ed into the sea. The boat hoated
away and was lost. Boat No. I
turned around and succeeded in
picking up the four men, who,
fortunately, were good swimmers
and had held their own with the
pillows.
The fortunate boat, in charge of
one Nahinu, reached the city early
this morning, her crew wet and COM
pletely tagged by the hardships of
the night. They expected, when
they set sail, to return to Molokai
today to bring second load of fish,
but the weather outside has induced
them to wait. The loss sustained
by the fishermen was hardly short
of $35o..

PNEUMATIC TIRES.
Their Use on Ordinary Vehicles in
England.

Their Use on Ordinary Vehicles in
England.
The question to what extent the
pneumatic tire, so familiar on bicy-
cles, will be adopted on the wheels
of other vehicles is one of consider
able interest. According to a
London scientific journal, for cabs
and broughams in English cities,
the rubber tire, with an iron hoop
outside, is steadily growing in
favor, and thousands of them are
seen. Since, even on the smooth
wood and asphalt pavements of
London, the rider knows at once
whether his hanson has elastic or
rigid tires, the contrast must be
still more marked on macadamized
roads or streets paved with granite
or cobble-stones.
