SUSPECTED A SUICIDE.
An Oversispicious wOman's Opinion
OF Drummer's Actions.

An OversuspiciOus WOman's Opinions
OF II Drummer's Actions.
There was a very greatly disturbed lady
on a West Shore train the other evening
and her suspicious finally stirred up every
passenger in the coach. 1t happened in
this way, according to q Utica Observer re-
porter: A few seats ahead of her sat a
gentleman whom she thought was acting
in somewhat suspicious manner. He took
a letter from his pocket and read it over
with great care. Then he bowed his head
on the scat in front Of him and rode along
in that manner for several miles, Finally
he took the letter from his pocket and read
it again. Then he rose and slowly paced
the aisle till the little woman who was
watching him SO closely thought he must be
in extreme trouble. Finally he dropped into
the seat he had formerly occupied, hastily
drew a note book from his pocket, wrote a
few lines, laid the book on the cushion and
started for the door. When he reached
the platform he could be seen standing on
the top step looking out into the darkness.
The little woman was certainly very
mcuh wrought up, for she thoughta tragedy
was about TO be enacted. She rose and hur-
ried along to q seat occupied by two gem
tlemen and breathlessly told them to hurry
out on the platform and catch that man!
He's going to jump off the train and com
NIT suicide
Not waiting to hear explanations, the gen
tlemen ran to the door, and one of them
caught the suspicious stranger by the coat
tails and ha uled him back into the coach.
1t took ten minutes to explain matters,
and half Of that time everybody thought
therp was snrp tn he n fight
The stranger was o commercial traveller.
The letter he had read with so much care
was one containing some particular in
structions from his firm. He had written
some memoranda in his note book and
walked out on the platform for breath of
fresh air.

fafiOuS,

a Model Plant is not complete without
Electric Power, thus dispensing with
small Engines.
Why not generate your power from
one CENTRAL Station =? One generator
can furnish power 10 your Pumps, Centri-
fugals, Elevators, Flows, Railways and
Hosts; also furnish light and power for
a radius OF from l5 to 20 miles.
Electric Power being used caves the
labor of hauling coal in your field, also
water, and does away with hing priced
engineers, and only have ore engine TO
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 at
short notice, and also has on hand a
large stock of Wire, Chandeliers and all

National Cane Shredder
PATENTED UNDER THE LAWS or
THE HAWAIIAN IsLANDs.l

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 125
hours grinding with an output
of 3003 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 30in. by 60in. 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-
ton has been increased from
8 per cent. to 5 per cent. on al.
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 or
attention"

of these shredders may be seen

Surely the campaign in Ohio opens

expect repetition Of the overwhelming
vote last given by that state for Republi-

MANY Democrats were brushed aside by the
overwhelming results Of Democratic mis-
rule Apbast at the ruin they had wrought
they were not only unable to do effect
i've work for their own party but were COM
PEELED to some feeble attempt to undo their

fact that the country wasn't irretrievably
ruinen will serve as excuse for allowing
their old party affiliations and prejudices
TO assert themselves. They have forced
their most popular man to accept the can

enthusiastically nor hopefully, knowing
full well that they cannot prevent the Re
pubiicans of Ohio from sweeping the state

An Artists Joke.

" A feat attributed to many eminent art
lists of painting on plain surface fly or
bee SO illusivcly true TO nature that the in
nocent observer would attempt to brush it
away Is not so difficult as is generally sup
posed, remarked a painter of still life
The art lies in making the insect stand
out from the background. Not long ago
a patron brought me half dozen saucers
and card upon which was pinned a
house centiped, or thousand legs re-
quosting me to copy 1t exactly upon each
OF the sauccrs, so that the base of the cup
would cover it. l did so without express
ing any curiosity.
"Afterward he told me that he had Civ
en- little tea party, and without tho
knowledge Of his vito mad substituted the
painted sauccrs for the plain ones His
amusement consisted i'll observing the hor-
riiicd expression on the fnces of the guests
wien they raised their cups and the quick
ness with which they put them down again
to keep the monster imprisoned. 1t was
only when the hostess noticed that none of
the guests drank their tea that the deccp-
ton was discovered. NORTHWEST Maya
