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 l
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 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 a complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

SENATOR ELECT MASON
TAKEN SUDDENLY ILL AT HIS
HOME AT CHICAGO.
While Engaged in Conversation With
Caller, He Sinks to the Floor
Unconscious.

CHICAGO, Feb. 13.-tJnited States
Senator-elect William e. Mason was
taken seriously i'll to-day.
AT 2:3O p. m. a consultation of ply
sicians was held. Inquiries whether it
was true, as rumored, that Mason had
suffered a stroke of paralysis were
evaded with the response over the tele-
phone from the house, Cannot tell.
The physicians stated that they did
not believe Mason's ailment was apo
plexy, and that if possible, he would
be taken South tonight to recuperate.
Mason was overcome from nervous
excitement this afternoon while en-
gagged in conversation in his parlor with
Mr.. Orendorff of Canton, Ill. The Sen
ator was standing at the time. With
out warning he began to reel, and sunk
to the floor unconscious. He remained
in this condition until after the arrival
of a physician.
According to DR.. A. w. Gray, Mason's
temporary collapse was due to nervous
strain. The doctor hopes the results
will not be serious. The Senator must,
however, give up all thought of mat
ters connected with his legislative office
for the present. 1t was decided he
should start Immediately for New Or
leans. He will go thence to Florida.

BIG MINE DEAL.
A Transaction i'm Mexico Involving a
Large Amount of Money.

MONTEREY Mexico), Feb. 13.-The
most important mining deal ever made
in this State was closed yesterday in
the consolidation of the Carbonite.
Trinidad and Aztec silver and lead
mines and the sale of the Controlling
interest in the Consolidated Aztec Min
ing Company stock to a syndicate Of To-
cal millionaires. The price has not been
made public, but it is known it involves
a large amount of money.
The representatives of the heaviest
magnates of California spent some
weeks here before the holidays endeav-
oring to secure control of these three
bonanza mines, which cover 1000 acres
of the best mineral-bearing ground on
Mitre Mountain, and it is reported from
the New York offices that the pur-
chase would be effected. Therefore
much surprise ensued in mining cir
cles when it became known that local
capitalists had made the trade. These
mines were located early in 1895 by a
couple of American miners.

BLOODY DOMESTIC TRAGEDY.
TERRIBLE DEED OF AN INSANE
MAN AT LEXINGTON, KY.
Attempts to r1urder His Family, and
Then Commits Suicide With
Razor.

LEXINGTON (Ky). Feb. 13.-The
bloodiest domestic tragedy that ever
took place in this vicinity or probably
in the whole of Kentucky, was enacted
this morning in this city, when John
Mars, in a sudden fit of insanity, at
tempted to murder his family and then
killed himself.
Marrs was an eminently respectable
merchant in this city, a member of the
firm of Kaufman, Wilson & Co. His
home relations had been of the pleas
antest possible character, and there can
be no doubt that he was insane when
he committed his dreadful act The
fact that he was confined in an insane
asylum ten years ago lends confirma-
ton to this theory. He was about 40
years old.
Mars evidently began his bloody
work as soon as he arose, as it was all
over about s O'Clock this morning
When the news of the tragedy spread
and entrance was effected into the
house a dreadful scene was disclosed
On a bed in one of the rooms lay the
body of his four-year-old boy. He had
been shot in the forehead and his
throat had been cut from ear to ear
He had evidently been shot as he lay
asleep in bed. The bedclothes were sat
urated with blood, where the little body
rested.
Mars fourteen-y year-old daughter
Helen had apparently witnessed the
killing of her brother and tried to es-
cape. She was found lying in the hall
way unconscious, with a bullet wound
in her head.
The third victim was Ida Marrs, the
sister of the murderer whom he shot
After this bloody work he went to his
room. and locking himself in cut his
throat. When found his body presented
horrible spectacle. A CHASTITY wound
across the throat nearly severed the
head from the body, and a great pool of
blood lay around the body on the floor.
The mans left hand still held a large
razor, covered with blood, and near by
lay a large oldfashioned revolver with
four chambers empty.
When found, Marrs and the boy were
both dead. Helen the daughter, was
still alive, but whether she will recover
is uncertain. The doctors. however.
have hopes for her. Ida Mars wounds
are not dangerous. The shock TO Mrs.
Marrs was so severe that it is feared
that she will die.

THE ARBITRATION TREATY.
MUST FIGHT IT'S WAY THROUGH
THE SENATE.
Strong Opposition to the Measure,
Even With its Proposed
Amendments.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 13.-The Sen
ate went into executive session to-day
on motion of Mr.. Sherman for the pur-
pose Of taking up the arbitration treaty
The Senate was Immediately informed
that the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions had agreed upon an amendment
which it was hoped would insure the
speedy acceptance of the treaty by the
Senate.
This amendment, as read, was di-
rectly IN the line Indicated by the As
sociated Press dispatches last night.
putting into words Senator Turpie's
idea that the effect of the treaty would
be to bring back to the Senate for it's
acceptance all questions passed upon
by the proposed Board of Arbitration.
1t was also stated to be the purpose
of the committee TO withdraw all the
amendments heretofore suggested by
the committee in the belief that the
amendment now made would be suffi-
cient to meet all the objections ad-
vanced against the treaty.
1t soon developed however, that the
proceedings Of the committee had not
been so harmonious as the friends of
the treaty had been led to hope for.
Senator Morgan and other opponents
of the agreement had made il clear that
even with the amendments the treaty
would nos be acceptable. So evident
was this opposition that advocates of
ratification became convinced for the
first time that the opposition was ir-
reconcilable and that notwithstanding
the conciliatory spirit manifested by
the friends of the document. il would
still be necessary for ii to fight its way
through the Senate.
Other amendments were suggested by
individual members of the Senate dur
ing to-day's session. One of these was
by Senator Chandler. and was to bind
both contracting parties Of this treaty
TO make similar agreement with other
nations. whether weaker or possessing
large war establishments.
The amendment also declared il TO
BE- the purpose of the present treaty
to promote a policy OF military disarm-
ament and exemplify the principle of
arbitration for the benefit of other ma
tions.
