A Model Plant Is not complete with
out Electric Power. thus dispensing
with small engines.
Why not generate your power frora
one CENTRAL Station? One gener-
ator can furnish power to your Pumps,
Centrifugals, Elevators, Flows, Rail
ways 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 high-priced
engineers, and only have one engine to
look after in your mill.
Where water power IL available It
costs nothing to generate Electric
Power.
THE HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COM
PANY is now ready to furnish Electric
Plants and Generators of all descrip-
lions at short notice, and also has on
hand a large stock or Wire, Cnandel-
iers and all Electrical Goods.
All orders will be given prompt at
tention, and estimates furnished for
Lighting and Power Plants; also at

ing stolen railroad tickets in their pos
session, were brought before Judge
Archibald yesterday morning and bail
was entered for their appearance at
court.
Martin McDonough qualified as bonds
man for Joseph Walsh, Martin Fitz-
henry, William Kearney. Anthony Con-
molly, John Joyce and Maurice Feeney.
James Connolly. of Greenwood, qualified
for John Donovan and William O'Hara.
Each boy was held in the sum of $500.
The charge against them is larceny.
Donovan admitted that he stole the
tickets from Minooka station, but eX-
cused his conduct by saying that the
other boys put him up to do it.
James Connolly came very near going
to Jail for contempt of court. He was
profane in answering Judge Archibald
when being questioned about owning
property, preparatory to being accept
ed as bondsman. The judge said he
would commit Mr.. Connolly to Jail for a
week or ten days, but for the sake OF
the boys. He wanted to see them get
out of Jail. and if Mr.. Connolly was i'm
prisoned they would have to go to jail
also, awaiting the arrival of another
bondSman.

MORE ASPHALT FIGHT.
Dunn Brcs.' Material Does Not Stand
the Test. Says City Engi.
neer Phillips.

Upon his return from the Williams
port convention yesterday, City Ensi-
neer Joseph p. Phillips gave out that
he had found the asphalt which Dunn
Brothers propose to use on Monroe ave-
nue. to be of inferior quality, and that
he had given the contractors notice that
he would not permit their asphalt to be
laid on the street.
Mr.. Phillips took this step upon the
receipt of the following self-explana-
tory letters:
Office of the Engineer Commissioner.
Washington, u. c., Aug. 10, 1896
The Engineer Commissioner, District or
Columbia.
Sir: Below please find the preliminary
report ON sample of refined asphalt sub
mitted by Mr.. Joseph p. Phillips, of
Scranton. Pa.
Melting point, $50 degrees Fahrenheit;
per cent. flow Qake 100 per cent? &c per
cent.
1t is more brittle than lake asphalt re-
fined. From my analysis. as far as it has
gone, l will say that the sample is land
refined asphalt from the Island of Trini-
dad. Very respectfully
A. w. Dow,
Inspector of Asphalt and Cement.
Respectfully forwarded to Mr.. ]. p.
Phillips, city engineer, Scranton, Pa, for
his information.

ton, Pa.
Dear Sir: In the sample of asphalt re-
ceived from you on the 18th inst, we find:
Petrolene, $40 per cent; asphallene,
1853 per cent; organic matter mot btu
mnous). 7.2S per cent; mineral matter,
2I.CS per cent. Yours respectfully,
Booth. Garrett & Blair.
Comparing this test with the tests
of standard asphalt Mr.. Phillips found
that Dunn Brothers material was de-
f1cient in the principal good quality of
asphalt, 'petrolene," and that the per-
centage of mineral matter, which Is not
desirable is high.
Dunn Brothers say they are not wor-
rying over the city engineers action.
When the time comes they will prove
to the satisfaction of every one that
they are using asphalt equally as good"
as the Pitch lake material, as is pro-
vided in the specifications. They also
declare that while they are about it
they will show the people that the
asphalt the Barber people have been
using in this city is not as good as that
which the city engineer condemned.

and he was NY guest for about four
months. During that time he impressed
me as man Of extraordinary ability
and force of character, and between us
there sprang up fraternal attachment.
Diaz thought that he could rely on
friends in Brownsville to furnish him
means whereby he could renew the fight
on the national forces, but when the
time came they did not make good their
promises.

him pacing the hallway with restless

solved on doing weeks before, which
was to let him have good round sum

AFRICAN ETIQUETTE.
The wisest Plan TO Follow In Visiting the
Big Native Chiefs.


In African travel it is always wise to
visit the biggest chief in any part Of the
country. One can always learn from
other chiefs at distance who they are
and something Of their character. In
approaching them always send word OF
your coming and get. il possible. in
formation in advance of the feeling OF
the chief toward whites. Upon nearing
the village send on ahead TO announce
your arrival and wait until your mes.
senger returns with some Of the villa
gers to escort you to their chief. Greet
the chief civilly and ask him to send
one Of his people to show you a good
place for your tent, il you decide to
camp in the village, which ] have done
invariably in this country. though it is
not always advisable in every part Of
central Africa. When you have rested,
the chief will come to see you. Their
state to him your business, talk frankly
with him and explain plainly YOU
needs, whether you want guides or Il
buy food.

one day. and generally the first night
