Hawaiian
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 mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A 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
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 a 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 complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO

Having met with the highest sue.
cess in the manufacture and sale of
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, it has become import.
ant to all to have knowledge of the
Company and its products. The
great value of the remedy as medi-
cinal agent, and of the Company's
efforts, is attested by the sale of
millions OF bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose of
manufacturing and selling laxative
remedy. which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more bene-
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process of manufact-
uring, figs are used, as they art
pleasant TO the taste, and healthfui
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most benefcially.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful physicians, but if
in need of laxative, then one
should have the best and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most
largely used and gives most general
satisfaction.

from their limbs the fetters and shack
les of slavery. Independence Day cam
not be celebrated by American slaves
in a more patriotic manner than to
make a proclamation to the world that
they shall no longer kneel to industrial
servitude. Our present suspension IS
not of our choice; it is forced upon US
by continuous reductions in wages un-
til the point is reached where living by
industry is no longer possible.
Our miners everywhere throughout
the country are with us, and there is
no doubt it will be the greatest move
ment of the kind this country has ever
seen. Reports from every mining dis
trict show conclusively that this move
ment must continue until living wages
are established.
Those miners who have been forced
by poverty and cruelty of unscrupulous
employers to sign ironclad contracts
will throw them up, as they should do,
and join the suspension.
Il am not fearful that the miners will
in any case violate the law or order
This viii be peaceful contest; violence
must not enter into it in any degree.
Public opinion is with US. The great
body of the people are on our side, and
we mean to retain their support by
strict adherence TO law and order.
THE independence proclamation of
the United Mine Workers of America
is that industrial despotism must be
forever suppressed. With this inscribed
upon our banner and with 900, 600 men
imbued with a purely American spirit
to carry it aloft, success will crown our

Secretary A1ger's Intimation to
Capt. Bliss Looks Like 1t.

CHICAGO, July "a special to the
Ilmes-Herald" from Washington
says There was quite a furry of in
terest in the Cuban question in town last
night, when it became known that Sec
retary Alger had intimated to Captain
- Bliss who will shortly go to Madrid
as attache to the American Legation
there, that it would not be advisable to
take Mrs Bliss and her children with
him, because of the possibility of trou-
bic. Lieutenant George l.. Dyer, the
naval attache, also proposes to go to
Madrid unaccompanied by any member
of his family.
These developments are generally ac-
cepted as an indication that the admin
istration expects more or less excite
nent in Madrid during the coming au-
tumn, or as soon as Minister Woodford
shall have had an opportunity to put
the demand of his Government to the
Spanish Court.
1t was also developed to-day that
Consul General Lee is expected to ar
rive in Washington during the next two
eeks. He will return to Cuba General
Lees home coming will be in season to
admit OF consultation between him and
to sail until near the last of the month
1t is the desire of the President that
before entering upon mis- important task
at Madrid General Woodford shall be in
possession of every obtainable scrap of
information concerning the situation in
Cuba. and a consultation with General
Lee will, therefore, be of advantage to
him.
The patriotic labor meeting, which
was to have been held July 4th on the
White House lot, near the Executive
Mansion, will have to be held at some
other place.
Colonel Bingham, superintendent Of
Public Buildings and Grounds, has

ton. A. A. Mcclure, a former mem
Der of the Cuban Junta, conceived the
idea of holding a mass meeting to make
