Il. X. HENDRY LEAVES THE HA-
WAIIAN HARDWARE co.
l.. VI. Vettlesen Is His Successor
Change Made Today-Reasons AS
signed-The Two Men.

Today gives the Honolulu business
world it's sensation of the year. This
happening is the retirement of L. r.
IIendry from the management of the
Hawaiian Hardware company. He is
succeeded by L. NJ. Vettlesen, who has
had charge of the accounts. Action
was taken at meeting of the corpora
tion this morning.
Mr.. Hendry has been connected
with the company as manager for six
years, or since its inception. He was
the promoter of the establishment of
the house. His business methods were
aggressive. He was free advertiser,
wise buyer and had built up a fine
business at Honolulu and throughout
the Islands. However, dividends were
not forthcoming and the stockholders
became dissatisfied. Mr.. Hendry him
self owned one-ifth of the stock. He
had been very partisan in the political
division and some of those interested
believed that this did the business no
good. His enterprise was shown in
placing on the market numerous art
icles that met with good sale and by
putting in a bicycle department that
was operated with profit. But the
gentlemen most interested financially
believed that expenses could be re-
duced and will undertake to accom-
plish this and declare dividends.
l.. NJ. Nettlesen, the new treasurer
and manager is business man whose
reputation in Hawaii has long been
established He has been in the coun-
try sixteen years and always held re-
sponsble positions in commercial con-
Germs. He is a young man, genial and
with hundreds of warm personal
friends who will wish him every sue
cess. He takes charge today. The
business will go on without interrupt
tion.

parison the best a lady can buy. They
are perfect in shape, most comfortable

HILO BAND.
What Was Said About Sunday Play
ing at Cocoanut Island.

Department of the Attorney General,
Honolulu, ii. l., Aug. IL, 1896.
Mr.. Godfrey +. Alfonso, Hilo Hawaii.
Sir:-Yours of the 3rd instant, ask
ing that permission be granted the
Rival das Musas" Band to play on
Sunday afternoon on Cocoanut Island,
was duly received.
The matter of the request has been
considered by the Executive Council
and it has been decided not to grant
the permission. While the respons
bility for enforcing the laws devolves,
upon this department / preferred to
have the matter acted upon by the
Executive Council.
While the action may be deemed in
cinsistent, is view of the fact that the
Government Band has been allowed TO
play in Honolulu on Sunday after
noon, there are certain considera tions
which had weight in arriving at the
decision.
The conditions here are different.
/ The Honolulu band is under Govern
ment control, and the kind of music
/ played, and the whole character of the
/ performances, can be controlled.
There are not less than three other
music bands in Honolulu, but permis-
sion has not been granted to any of
them to play in public on Sunday.
would also add, that there are a
variety of music bands in various
parts of the island, Who, if the Sunday
playing in Hilo is allowed, would prob
ably desire similar permission. Many
of these bands are of such character
that no public benefit would result
from allowing them to SO pay.
| have the honor to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
WILLIAM o. SMITH,
Attorney General.

retained as instructor. 1t is calculated
to put on several strong plays during

10 STOP THE INDUCTION
NEW CABLE SYSTEM FOR THE
LOCAL TELEPHONE LINES.
Extensive Improvement to BE Under
neutrality-suspicious. of 100000 to
O.OOO-Service win BE Perfect.

Mr.. Gillespie, the new telephone
manager, has instituted a ten-stroke
policy for the improvement of the sys-
TEN in Honolulu. The 100000 to $780,
900 to be spent on the lines will be
used in furthering some of his ideas.
\ few of them will be carried out at
once.
Mr.. Gillespie's first move will he to
cable all the lines in the city proper
This means, in place of having fifty to
hundred lines strung out on the
poles to put them all into lead pipe.
Wax, being a non-conductor, will be
used to separate them. In this shape
| induction from the electric wires will
be avoided and the noise in the tel
ephones at night will be thing of
the past
OF course the cables cannot he used
everywhere. From the business center
two cables will run down perhaps to
| Nuuanu avenue. The same will apply
to other directions.
| Say fifty telephones are used on the
Waikiki road. A cable, carrying all
the wires, will extend out to the
neighborhood of the nearest telephone,
where all the lines will be dropped
again Another cable will run to Dill
| lingham's corner for the Punahou dis
| t,.in I'M ,x.i1l tn r.p
for the neighborhood between there
and the Waikiki road and Makiki. An
other will go to School street for the
valley, one to Palama, and so on.
The advantages of the cable system
will be many. At present if a pole
falls, forty, fifty or perhaps hundred
telephones are rendered for the time
being at least, useless. With cable
the combined strength of the many
wires and the lead pipe would hold
and no serious damage to the lines
would result.
The chief advantage will be in dis.
posing of the induction, about which
|
ing can protect bare wires from cleo
trio line on the same street even. In
Paama there is IA point where an elec,
tric wire runs in the midst of the tel
ephone lines. On damp nights the lat
ter become about as thoroughly
charged as the former. 1t has been &
standing joke that they could be USED
just as well as not for few extra arc
lights in that neighborhood.
1t is understood that the materia
for the cables will be ordered in few
days. The project has been sanctioned
by the Company and the system
should go in force in two months
After that the tower over the Contra
Office will not be used. All wires, eX
cept the calling lines and signal lines
will go into the office through cables
They will enter by the most direc
= route, not from above as at present.
