Electric
Company.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the incan
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. few days ago prominent gen.
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and l
want it done at once; no more lamps for me-
Last night a lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.
We have a complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

A PARSONS LOVE LETTERS.
He Sent Them to Eight Pretty Girls, and
Now He Is "A Wanderer


ST. Joseph. Mo. June 3.-Mrs. Cath
crime Jones has been divorced from her
husband. the Rev Martin Jones. and is
once more Miss Catherine Bragg, as the
cour, restored her maiden name. Rev.
Martin Jones has drifted out into the
wide world, and his former parishion
ers do not know where he is. In the
divorce petition he is described as a
nonresident"
All the girls in the church and out of
il TWO years ago were wild about the
Rev Martin Jones, who. with his long.
curling. black hair, and big, brown
mild eyes, looked more like an actor
than a preacher He is natural ora
tor and could preach with such tremen-
dous force that he made his hearers
tremble. II was predicted Chat he
would soon become the greatest pulpit
orator in the country. Even now, when
his perfidy is known. it is regretted by
the members of the congregation and
all his acquaintance that he has fallen.
The Rev Martin Jones could not re-
sist the temptation to say soft moth
ings" 10 the pretty women of his flock.
That accounts for his being a wander
er on the face OF the earth. He married
Miss Catherine Bragg. of this city. a
year ago. She is the daughter of a
wholesale merchant and was the pref
tieSt girl in the congregation. A week
after they were married the elders of
the congregation received a letter from
Miss Mary Lumm, of Stewartsville. in
which she asked if the Rev. Martin
Jones was the man who had been sta
toned there before he was sent to this
city. Miss Lumm was informed that
he was the man. She then wrote that
Jones was engaged TO marry her. and
that the wedding day had been set. The
elders were astOnished, and argued that
there must be a mistake
Letters were received in day or two
from Mrs. Lucy Jones, a young widow,
Of Fillmore: Miss Kate Grossly. of Ran
kin. and four other young women, who
said the Rev. Martin Jones had promis-
ed TO marry them. They sent along the
letters he had written them. These
letters were full of endearing adjec-
tives and pet names. The elders had a
meeting and invited the pastor to be
present.. ut utiiAStcl was utudul, DIT
first, and called for an investigation.
He went home and took a dose of NOR
phine large enough to kill six men and
locked himself in his room. where his
wife found him. He was turned out
OF the church, after being tried and
convicted.
Eight pretty Young women were pres
ent when Mrs Jones'S divorce case was
called. They had all hoped to become
Mrs. Martin Jones, but only one had
been successful, and now she Spurned
the name. After hearing the evidence
the court relieved her of it, The 9th
er girls told how the preacher had de-
ceived them. and, although they blush
ed and Stammered at times. the lawyer
brought out eight love stories. all of
them exactly alike. In some instances
the love letters sent to the eight were
from one copy. Eight pretty heads
nodded approvingly when the judge or
dered that the decree of divorce be
spread upon the records.
