The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the ipcan-
descent electric light. Safe nothing Gould
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the Office of the Electric Company and said:
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.

alleged by w. A. Nevills, the Fresno mil
lionaire, that they extorted $4,000 from hin
last February. The first witness called was
Dr. Winslow Anderson, who attended Capt
Nevills during his illness. On one of his
visits, he testified, he met the defendant
Elsie Williams. He later attended her a.
the hospital and says that Capt. Neville
was very attentive during her illness, ano
that the check for medical attention was
signed by Capt. Nevills.
William Russ, q Fresno decorator, testi-
fed to a quarrel between Nevills and Az
herdian, and that the latter said he would
pull the captains leg" for SEQ, 900, and that
Russ had been invited to assist in the oper-
alton. E. D. N. Lehe, an electrician of
Fresno, gave some unimportant testimony
to the effect that the defendants had spok-
en- to him a year ago in language indicat-
ing that they expected to have enough
money to go into business in a short time.
William P. Lyons, Fresno furniture
dealer, testified that Azherdian had sub
mitted a proposition to him for him (Ly-
ons) to go to Nevills and ask for $4,000, upon
receipt of which the defendant would leave
the state. The testimony showed that iti-
cation had existed between Nevills and his
foreman and the defense tried to show that
the 5000 referred to the settlement of the
case. Other witnesses gave unimportant
testimony, after which the case went over
until Monday.

ORIENTAL RICHES
Philippine Mines May Prove Better
Than Klondike

WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator Teller
has received letter from a constituent In
Colorado indicating thatIthe Philippine is
lands may be found to be very rich in gold
deposits. The writer says that in 1875 he
travelled from Manila to Singapore with a
man who had gone from Montana to the
island of Luzon for the purpose Of investi-
eating the reports of such wealth, who gave
him this information in confidence and as a
return for kindness rendered to him by the
senator's correspondent.
He told me- says this correspondent,
''that the results of his Investigations were
tar ahead Of anything he had anticipated,
and that the wealth of gold in that country
was beyond estimation. He had gone to the
Philippines with the intention of going into
mining If the situation was promising.
When he found 1t was he went to the Span
ish governor to secure permission, but this
official would permit nothing of the kind.
He gave as the reason for his opposition
that the development of the mines would
tend to enrich and disturb the native popu-
lation, while the Spanish policy was to keen
them in ignorance and subsection"
The writer Of the letter says his compan.
ion secured his information from Catholic
priests located outside the town.

French Comment
PARIS, May 1.-THE French newspapers

Tho successes achieved by the Spanish
troops against the American landing par
ties In Cuba and the Insignificant result of
the sbombardmsnt of San Juan de Porto
Rico have strengthened the feeling here in
favor of prolonging the war in the Antilles
