OVER THE SQUARE.
Viaduct In the Plan for a
New Electric Line.
Home Capital Meeting Postponed.
Too Much Weather-Mr. Paine
Was On Hand-The Plans.

The meeting called as a preliminary
to organization of local company to
give the town a surface electric pas
senger line failed on account of the
weather. Eight or ten men interested
reached the Chamber of Commerce
hall at 7:3O last evening. They de-
cided in very few minutes that it
would be best TO adjourn till the storm
was over. Another call will be issued
soon. Mr. Paine, manager of the Ha-
waiian Tramways Company and the
attorney of the corporation, Mr.. Paul
Neumann, were present. Senator Nc
Candless, who is taking an active
part in the movement was on hand.
P c. Jones and several others who
will be prominent in the home com
pany were unable to attend.
Invitations to the meeting to have
been held last evening stated the pur-
pose OF the gathering to be for the
consideration of a proposition for an
electric railway for Honolulu to be
built entirely by home capital. The
plan is to fix on the amount of sub
scription necessary for such an enter
prise and TO have committee make
a canvass of the town. This will be
done within a fortnight. One report
is that the Tramway Company will
make negotiations to the new concern,
looking to sale of the present system
and its prospects or to consolidation
with the electric project brought back
from London by Mr.. Paine and still IN
his valise. There is also a report that
the Tramway people will fight the
new movement to the last ditch. 1t is
said that Mr. Paine has been given
quite full powers by his company, but
he labors under the disadvantage OF
being widely separated from his dirac-
torate. The Tram Company is to make
a request to the Legislature for extern
sive favors. At the same time the new
company will go before the lawmakers
asking for an act that they say will
be very modest and moderate in It's
charter terms.
In a way the system of lines thai
was proposed by the company that
was before the last assembly for
a charter will be adopted by the
new home association.
Bethel street is to be used. Waikiki
will be reached via Queen street
through KewaIo and along the new
beach road This will save nearly a
mile between town and Kapiolani
park and is calculated to catch all The
Sunday and holiday trade. 1t is
planned to use Hotel street, crossing
Thomas Square with a viaduct. This
will be the route to the plains and
Punahou and mauka of Beretania
street. A section of belt line will be
from Punahou clear around back OF
the park
AS both the town men and the Tram
people are very much in earnest and
have plenty of capital available live
ly contest may be looked for during
the legislative session and perhaps in
the Courts and on the streets after
wards.

BIG STORM.
A Second Visitation of Flood and
Lightning.
(From Thursdays Daily.)

(From Thursdays Daily)
The rainfall of last night was per
haps heavier than the downpour OF
last Saturday morning.
The street cutters and in many
places the streets were streams and
there were rivulets dropping from the
awnings and rushing from the roof
pipes for hours.
In the early part of the night the
showers, though heavy, were with ces-
sations. About II p. m, tie food
set out in earnest. The water came
down in sheets.
There was a little lightning early
in the evening. Around midnight the
flashes were heavy and strong and il
Illuminating as on Saturday morning.
With the extremely weighty rain even
the policemen sought shelter. Safety
precautions were taken at the tele-
phone office, but work on the new
switchboard went right along.

extended over most of the Island. A
good many people were awakened by
the thunder ami there must have been
a great deal of nervousness. Chief
Hunt was extra yigilant for fear of
fires, but the rain would have extin-
guished almost any outside blaze.
Those in charge of shipping in the
harbor were on the alert all night,
but the danger had been headed off
before dark, when extra anchors were
dropped and additional lines run out.
For hours there were perfect torrents
of water rushing into the bay from
town.
The new street crossings down town
are all right, excepting that they were
all under water last night.

Lord Nelson In Canada.

Leslie's Weekly tells the following
story of Lord Nelson, which is not gen
orally known: A pretty little romance
gives Nelson's memory a sentimental
interest in Canada. During his service
at Quebec, in 1882, when he was but "A
years of age, he became infatuated
with beautiful Canadian girl, Mary
Simpson, daughter of a great Canadian
merchant of the period. At the time OF
Nelson's visit she was but 16 years old,
marvelously beautiful and witty. On
October IA, 1882, Lord Nelson's ship
the Albemarfe was ready to sail and ne
had very sad and tender parting with
Mary Simpson, and went down the ST.
Lawrence to board the man-of-war.
The next morning arrived and the
Albemarle did not heave anchor, and
Captain Nelson was seen coming back
to Quebec in a boat a friend of Nell
sons, a man prominent in Quebec at
the time, espied him and asked him
what had happened Nelson is quoted
as having said: Il find it absolutely
impossible to leave this place without
again waiting upon her whose society
has so much added to its charms, and
laying myself and my fortune at her
feet" Nelson's friend protested against
such rash act, and told him that,
situated as you are at present, your
utter ruin will inevitably follow.
Then let it follow" replied Nelson,
earnestly, for 1 am resolved TO do il. +"
But despite his intentions, the stronger
will of his friend prevailed, and he was
fairly carried back to his ship and
forced to leave behind the girl ne
loved; and it was many years before
he gave up the hope of possessing her,
for Nelson never returned to Canada
and Mary Simpson died in spinster-
hood.

TO KEEP OUT SMOKE.
Respirator Invented to Aid Fire
men In Their Work.

One of the worst things the fireman
has to contend with in his extremely
hazardous calling is smoke. When an
alarm is rung in for large building,
the firemen usually find on reaching
the scene that almost every cubic foot
of air in the building is heavily charg-
ed with smoke, often rendering it i'm
possible for them to work more than
a very few minutes without seeking
fresh air. This entails loss of time
and sometimes has disastrous effects
upon the health of the firemen. There
have been many devices to enable the
fireman to work in smoky buildings.
A new invention has recently been
put on the market, which, the inventor
claims, will do much toword increas-
ing the efficiency of the fireman and
make his calling less hazardous. The
invention, as described in the New
York Tribune, is called smoke pro-
tector," but is really a shield made of
fine wire cloth and rubber. The wire
screen is strapped across the mouth
and the rubber fits closely over the
nose. All air taken into the lungs must
come through damp sponge which is
fastened on the outside of the screen.
Equipped with the protector and pair
of goggles with rubber rims, which fit
tightly to the head, man may go
into dense smoke and remain there for
10 or 20 minutes, according to the
statement made by the inventor.
The protector has also been used
with good success in mines where
thick smoke had gathered, and in

In Koolau.

VIM. Henry, tax collector and road
and school agent at Kaneohe, came
over the Pail Tues day morning. Mr..
Henry says the new road over the Pail
stood the test of the heavy weather
remarkably well, but that repairs are
needed in Nuuanu valley. He has also
put before some Senatorial and Rep
resentative friends requisition for a
road in Waimanalo district. This is
a quite modest request. Mr.. Henry
has lived in Koolau many years, but

Guided. The device does not add to the
beauty of the person who wears it, but
it may be the means of saving lives
and property.

THESE PARL0US TIMES.
Everybody Reads The Times and
Hoists the National CoIors.

These are days when the street fakirs.
the Salvation Army. little curbstone
bands. baseball scores and other more or
binary open air attractions find themselves
in losing competition with war bulletin
boards, and much financial distress has
resulted therefrom. But the perambula-
tors of street pianos have seized the oc-
casion by the right end as it were, and
are remarkably up to date in their modus
operandi of extracting stray pieces of
wealth from enthusiastic crowds.
An instance was furnished Saturday af-
ternoon when several hundred people con-
gregated under The Times bulletin board,
brought thither by the news Of American
victories at Cardenas, Cienfuegos and San
Juan. The street became blockaded and
murmurs of patriotic approval broke now
and then into lusty cheers.
Suddenly an Italian swung around the
corner at a half trot and pushed his piano
into the crowd. Hastily he threw the tune
switch and began to grind out THE Star
Spangled Banner. The cheering increased
and the "clink, clink clink' of stream
of nickels and dimes tossed into the Itai:
ians ''tinkup told that his grasp of the
Situdt ton had been greatly appreciated
Speaking of war bulletins brings 10 mind
the fact that in giving to the public the
first authentic news of the TWO great Gu
ban battles. The Times displayed de-
gree of enterprise yesterday afternoon
that was a revolution TO Capital jour
nalism, and found widespread apprecia-
tion in a phenomenal extra" sale. Front
pages OF the noon edition were pasted in
several hundred store windows through
out downtown thoroughfares and speed
lily drew immense crowds of interested
readers.
OF late little has been said concerning
the widespread display OF patriotic deco
rations throughout the city They have
come 10 be accepted as natural attributes
to war and the spirit thereof but never
theless visitors are immensely impressed
with the Fourth Of July appearance of
our streets. The spirit OF decoration is
gradually spreading to the residence sec
tions of the city, and on many outlying
streets block after block of homes those
of the rich and poor alike. present a mar
tial air perhaps never before equaled in
the Capital.
