kIMBALL-
PIANO

Great musicians use Kimballs. The
testimony of musicians who command
a salary of from 1000 to $1,000 for each
performance must be accepted as hav-
ing weight. They, at least, escape the
charge of not knowing what they are
talking about. Lillian Nordica says:
THE more l use my Kimball piano the
better l like it." Jean De Reszke says:
I'VE have concluded to purchase KIM
ball pianos for our personal use." John
Philip Sousa claims: THE Kimball
piano is first-class in every respect"
Some of the most beautiful cases in
walnut, mahogany and oak can be seen
here. 1 have some fine large pianos,
all colors, from $3.50 to $3.50, on easy
terms, and a term of lessons free.

NO CAUCUS THEY SAID.

Mr.. Chittenden suggested that mas
much as the Democratic members had
caucused and drafted an amended or
dinance and represented a majority of
one OF the committee that they he
given an opportunity to present the
draft, either last night or at an ad-
journed meeting. and that il be con-
sidered amicably by the whole body.
The Democratic members denied that
any caucus had been held. Mr.. Noon
and Mr.. Flanagan 'refuted' what they
considered the gross accusation" and
'charge" of Mr.. Chittenden who in
making the suggestion had not intend
ed to convey any spirit of criticism.
Mr.. Chittenden pointed out that in
creased salaries and additional en-
ployes alone involved $4,000 more than
the estimated revnue and the COM
mite should realize without regard
to party or politics that the axe must
fall and the ordinace lie amended to
within about $1,000 of what it was last
year. Mr.. Grler, Mr.. Sweeney and Mr.
GilrOy, Democrats, expressed them
selves as aware of the situation and
anxious that the committee should per-
form its work in non-partisan spirit
so mat the ordinace would not have to
suffer from amendments after it was
finally reported to councils.
With this understanding the depart
meEts We're considered seriatum and
amended as indicated in the foregonC
summary.
City Controller Robinson presented a
list Of recently developed deficiencies
amounting to s2,293,72 that would have
to be provided for; Mr.. Sweeney Of
fered an amendment involving $4,000
for opening an approach to the Spruce
street bridge from Prospect avenue and
HemlOck street, and from the city en-
eineer was received an estimate of cost
of Sl53 for necessary catch basins.

Removing Rust From frc,

The accumulation Of rust en- iron ar
tlcles is SO annoying that any simple
process Of removing it will be received
with great satisfaction by a large num-
Der of persons. The following directions
are given: Attach a piece of ordinary
zinc to tho articles and then let them
lie in water to which little sulphuric
acid is added. They should be left inn
mersed for several days or a week, until
the rust has entirely disappeared, the
time depending on how deeply they
We're rusted. If there is much rust, a
little sulphuric acid should be added
occasionally. The essential part of the
process is that the zinc must be in good
electrical contact with the iron A good
way is to twist an iron Wire tightly
around the object and connect this with
the zinc, for which {. remnant of bat
terry zinc is suitable, as it has binding
post.
Besides the simplicity of this process,
it has the great advantage that the iron
itself is not attacked in the least as long
as the zinc is in good electrical contact
with it. Delicate pieces of mechanism
which have become badly rusted can be
cleaned by wrapping a galvanized wire
around them instead of the zinc, in
which case the acid should not be too
strong. When the rust is all cut off, the
articles will appear dark gray OF black.
They must then be thoroughly washed
and oiled. 1t is we'll to warm them
slightly when dry SO that the oil may
the more easily sink into the surface.
Where there are sharp edges and fine
work this process is said to be eminent
ly satisfactory.-New York Ledger.

The Hawaiian Alphabet.

There are but IL letters in the Ha-
waiian alphabet, These, with their PRO
nunciations, are: A (ah, Q (a), o 70 as
in ho), u (oo), h (hay), k (kay), (lag
m (moo), Il Moo), (pay), and W (vay).
The missionaries added thirteenth, t,
but the natives won't have it, and Con-
tinue to pronounce, for instance, the
name of the root from which pos is
made kara, +" although the mission
aries have it tiara. Every vowel in a
word is distinctly sounded, except that
the vowels "ai" are sounded s'i, - as in
English. Waikiki, the beach in Homo
lulu, is properly pronounced "Vi-
keekee. !" There is a great difference in
the speech OF the high and low caste
natives. The first call their isAhd
group "Ha-v Gee" and the latterbA
gin it all right with "Ha," but
clude with a cultural grunt, and the
word heard most, "Aloha, I" soundstsoft
and beautiful on the lips of the first,
but is a lazy, good natured grunt as the
latter speak it.
Aloha is i'll their limited vocabulary
at once a greeting and farewell, form
al expression of regard and Of deep
love. In the latter case it is Increased
in warmth and depth Of meaning BY
modifying adjectives annexed .Instead
Of prefxed, as "Aloha hui, - Aloha
nui loa, - or even "Aloha nui loa kea!'
and then it is, time to speak to papa.

Big Bets.

The late Mr.. Davis, the biggest book
maker of his time in England, probably
laid the largest bet ever recorded when
he wagered $500, 900 to $1,000 against
three horses owned by Mr.. Clark and
entered in the Derby of 1896.
There is also bet recorded of $780,
900 to $3.50, 900, the big amount being
laid by Lord Glasgow and the smaller
by Lord George Bentincls, who lost.
In 1886 young lordling bet $4,000
to $3.50 that st. Simon, very cele-
brated race horse, would win race in
which but one other animal was to
start. st. Simon was SO hot a favorite
that 100 to was laid on his chance,
such odds, of course, being very unusual
and meaning that there is hardly any
betting being done. That lord, however,
actually bet his SIS, 600 against book
makers $3.50 as coolly as if he had
been accepting and not laying ire
