Pilot English. Port Surveyor Ium-

very thrilling time last week.
They had gone out to meet the Lur-
line, but the captain did not stop for
them, sailing past them, capsizing
their boat and coming on into the
harbor. For about an hour they We're
in the water, clinging to the capsized
boat, and every little while having to
swim for it, as the waves would roll
the boat over and over Superintend-
ent Berg of the Kahului II. II. Co.,

soon as possible. Had they not been
good swimmers, some of them would
surely have been drowned.
Per LurIine came as passengers,
Mrs. Taylor, wife of the Spreckelsville
book-keeper, and Mr.. Mcclure for the
same plantation.
Clutches between Makawao and Ha-
ma have been almost impossible the
past week In one of them the mail
man had to put his mule over with a
rope, and the mail bags were washed
away by the torrent, though recover

WOULD NOT DESERT HIM.

The Stars Maui correspondent
writes: 1t seems the Japanese wom-
an murdered at Lahaina. Maui. last
Thursday, was not the murderer's
wife, but the wife of another Jap. The
murderer, who was formerly a lover
of the woman in Japan, wanted her
to leave her husband for him. which
she refused to do. and so he killed
her. He waited three hours in the
same house with her, watching FOR
his chance. and took il when she had
stepped out Il moment alone, and
when the other inmates of the house
rushed out at the noise her throat was
cut and she was stabbed i'm several
other places.

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. few days ago a 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
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night 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 wall.
We have complete stock Of everything in
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

which are avoided in the "Chairman's"
