END OF INDUCE !

Manager Gillespie VIII Cable All
Telephone Lines.
Fourteen tons of telephone cable ar
rived by the zealandia Saturday night
for the Mutual Telephone Company.
The cables are constructed to carry
from so to $50 wires. Manager Giles
pie is the father of the idea of cabling
the telephone wires in Honolulu. He
sees in the scheme an early and COM
plete end of induction. In fact, an au-
thority on electrical matters states that
in six months the telephones will be rs
clear of noise at night as in the day
time.
Poles for the cable system are being
planted on all the principal streets
near the Central office. The town viii
be divided into telephone districts, ant
the cables will take the lines as fal
into them as possible. For instance
Waikiki lines will be taken as far a:
the King street turn. In town the ca
bles will be numerous and shorter.

There are people in Hawaii, who fol-
lowing an old custom, buy their groceries
in California believing that they can save
money. It Is possible this might have
been done with success in the long ago,
before competition reduced the cost Of liv-
ing on the Islands. 1t IS possible, too,
that the people who continue to buy q
the Coast are not aware that the canned
and bottled goods, 1--WE mean delicacies,,
may be bought from US at strictly whole
sale prices. 1t is not probable that per
sons ordering from California order ip
small quantities; they probably get a case
of vegetables or fruits in an order. We
are prepared to fill such orders in Homo
lulu at astonishingly large discounts from
retail prices. The opportunity is here for
you to save money without sending t.
California.
We have all manner of timed goods
an order for any quantity will be promptly
and satisfactorily filled.

The song, ''Newsboys," was rendered
by three small boys costumed as Bow
cry newsboys. The musical part of the
program was highly appreciated and
frequently encored by the audience.
The farce was well .renderd and ex-
tremely amusing. Miss Fleming, as
Jennie Hayne, did excellently. The
feature of the play was the sensation
caused by Dick Calmeleigh's seeming
forgetfulness of his lines. 1t was only
bit of by-play.

stamps were contemptuously called.
John NJ. Niles, our postmastergener
at that time, tried heroically, but in
vain, to move congress to authorize
stamps for this country. His successor,
Cave Johnson, was more fortunate, and
the bill desired was approved on March
3, 1S47, the stamps not being issued,
however, till August, though the time
appointed was July l. Only two values
of the new stamps were introduced in
1s47-a five and ten-cent stamp, bear

That the lot of the summer car con-

lily be seen from the following story of

one of the Traction company's lines in
this city, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord: Just look ct these hands," he
said, exhibiting a pair of palms that
were chapped, hardened and covered
with yellowish substance. Anyone
looking at them would naturally sup
pose that it has been a long while since
soap has been used on them, and yet
l washed them thoroughly before leav-
ing the depot for this trip. This yellow
color is caused by the bars, which l

pecially if you happen to have flesh

vENDISH WORDS REMAIN.
Germany Is Full of Places Bearini
the Old-Time Namea.


Consul General De Kay writes for the
Century paper o. the Serbian swamp
Nendland, under tt title of IAN In
land Venice" Mr.. De Kay says: 'These
people speak German to the lordings
as we pass Nendish to our boatman, but
the Vendish is disappearing because,
for the sake of the army, its teaching is
discouraged. Throughout all this dis
trict, far over into Saxouy, only q few
churches still offer sermons in the
old tongue. Yet if the Vendish
tongue disappears the names of places
will tell the tale, even as such names as
Brandenburg and Saxony still do.
Dresden, Leipsic, these are Vendish
words-or call them Slavic, with the
broader term that now means the rae,
And hereabout are Cottbus, Netschau,
Muschen, Brahmow, Babow, Dlugy,
Raddush. Leipe, Lehde, Byhleguhre,
Straupitz and Luboen. And the f1iesses
that wind or shoot straight in and out
of forest and cleared fields retain
Vendish names: Mutniza, Blushnitza,
Rogazo, Zschapigk, Polenzo, Groblitzo
and Nabasatz. Efforts have been made
to give German names to many of them,
but country people everywhere are
great holders to precedent, and the peo-
pie who stick so tightly to their old
costume are not going to give up their
place names without a struggle"

THE RETIRED BURGLAR.
A Brief Consideration of Match
from His Point of XieM

Brief Consideration of Matches
from His Point of View.
There is this to be said III favor of
the sulphur match" said the retired
burglar, reports the New York Sun,
that it is noiseless when struck; but
Its odor is decidedly against it. More
than once, when l have struck a sui
phur match in the hall. have heard
some light sleeper. when the pungent
fumes of the sulphur permeated the at
mosphere, turn in bed in the adjacent
room.
Il stuck to sulphur matches for a
long time-naturally enough, l sup
pose-but finally came to use parlor
matches altogether. They are noisy,
but odorless, and 1t may be possible
to scratch them when teams are pass
ing, or when the wind is blowing, or
there is some other noise abroad. At
any rate came to prefer, from expert
ence, the noisy, odorless match to the
silent sulphur.
20 course the ideal match for any
body in my business would be one that
should be both silent and odorless. 1t
is wonder to me that nobody has in
vented such a match; it is greatly need
ed. and l should say that it would be
comparatively easy of invention. Now
that have retired. maybe will devote
myself to the invention of such match
and to do something to promote the in
terests of an arduous and none too re-
munerative calling"

HISTORIC MARRIAGES.
One Union Which Paved the Way to
Chrfstfanity in England.

Christianity in England.
The marriage of Ethelbert, king Of
Kent, with Bertha, the Christian daugh-
ter of Charibert, king of Paris, paved
the way to Christianity in England. The
maria ge of Henry VIII. with Anne Bo-
leyn was one of the principal factors
leading to the reformation. Etheldred
the Unready's marriage with Emma of
Normandy gave the conqueror an ex-
cuse for asserting his claim to the Eng
lish throne. The marriage of Henry /.
with Matilda of Scotland reconciled
the people to the conquest by restoring
the line of Cerdic. Henry us mar
riage with Eleanor of AquiatiIe made
England the first continental power
in western Europe. The marriage of
Henry VII. with Elizabeth Of York
closed the bloody Wars of the
Roses. The marriage of Margaret,
daughter of Henry VII, with James
". of Scotland ultimately led to
the union of England and Scotland.
Finally the marriage - Sophia with the
elector of Hanover put line of Ger
man princes on the English throne.
