THAT IS THE AMBITION OF THE
TELEPHONE PEOPLE.
The Improvements That are Now I'm
der Way and Those Contemplated,
Country Lines to Receive Notice.

Superintendent John Cassidy of the
Mutual Telephone company, Is a busy
man. From daylight until dark, he dl-
rects the work OF a big force of line
men in making improvements in the
system, which are imperative and
must be given attention at once. At
night he burns the midnight oil pom
dering over the proposed substantial
improvements that he will lay before
President Atherton and the directory
for approval
From the very day that he took
charge Superintendent Cassidy inau-
gurated a method of work that will
put the Island system on part with
any system in the world. This is the
ambition of Mr.. Cassidy and the man
agement is determined that he shall
have full swing.
The new superintendent is centcrlng
his attention in the Palama district at
present. There are two lines, the Bell
and the old Mutual. The service has
been very unsatisfactory. Now that
the Electric Light company is extend
ing its wires to Kamehameha Super
intendent Cassidy is placing his new
wires on the opposite side of the street
and he hopes to have this job complet-
ed by the first of next week.
Then he will go to Waikiki and the
Plains, where the lines are in almost
intolerabe condition. The country
lines will then come in for attention
The wires running along the railroad
to Eva. Waianae, Waialua, Kahuku
Heeia, Waimanalo and other sugar
plantations, must all be gone over be.
fore Mr.. Cassidy will be satisfied
There is no reason" said he this
morning, "why our Island should not
be girdled with the most ideal system
on the globe. While there are some
drawbacks here, there are many adj
vantages, and chief among these is
the fact that we are one system. An
| other thing, the people of Honolulu
| and Oahu are liberal toward tele
phone enterprise, providing they arc
supplied with satisfactory system
! In less than a years time we hope tc
have made some very noticeable i'm
prOvements."
There are twenty men engaged ir
rushing improvements now. Any mar
who comes along now and knows any;
thing about telephone work is giver
employment. Some men are scatter
ed over the city soldering the connec
tions which are essential for a good
system. The salt air that surround,
Honolulu will find that it has new en-
| emies to buck against now.

THE AUDIENCE LIKED IT.

"The song that touched their hearts"
is as old as the hills, almost. The
leading man in "The Dazzler" combi-
nation, which has just closed sue
cessful engagement, made a big hit
every night with his bicycle song. He
never failed to bring down the house
when he reached the verse telling
about the good qualities of the Sterl-
ing bicycles. The audiences were all
ready to hear "A good word said about
these wheels, and heartily encored the
singer each night. The song was al
most as much of hit as the SterI-
ing wheels have always been. Pacific

AS matter of fact, Gov. Leedy had
his three regiments of volunteers in
the field in very short time. His
call was issued April 26, and May II,
the Twentieth went to the front. It.
was followed by the Twenty-frst May
II and by the Twenty-second May "a.
In 1868, when Gov. Csawford had but
one regiment, the Nineteenth, to orga-
nize, his call was issued October 10,
and the men did not leave Topeka un-
til November 5th. The regiment was
organized quickly, the papers said,
yet no better time was made e than in
the present case, and war with tha Ind
ians was in progress within the state
ut the time, too.

brought no other clothes they had to
wear them home and have failed to re-

IN FOREIGN LANDS
Carrier Pigeons From the Bretagne

According to the report of the French
Transatlantic company made in Paris,
the experiments lately undertaken with
carrier pigeons on board the Bretagne
have proved satisfactory, thereby con-
firming the stories that were published
here about the birds few weeks ago.
1t will be recalled that one bird liberated
half way between Havre and New York
was caught in Connecticut. On the re-
turn voyage Captain Renaud took from
New York about fifty birds, which were
released one, two, and three days out.
OF these the company's office in Havrc
has no news. The birds remaining IN
hard were freed while the vessel was
250 miles, 1877 miles, and 125 miles respect
lively from Havre. Most of these were
back in Havre or Rouen the same day,
the remainder the next or following days.
None was lost. 1t has been demonstrated
that the safest fiiers were those trained
in the seacoast towns, the inland birds
being liable to lose their way too easily.

of how a single banditto robbed party
of engineers and six laborers within few

Via Tiberna near Ostia, only few miles
from Rome, banditto threatened a
wealthy countryman with knife and
robbed him of his wallet containing 1000

noon from the bank at Ostia. This rob-
