o'clock a. m, one charred body has
been recovered, and revision OF the
list Of missing makes 1t certain that
seven persons pershed in the fire,

her life. The others who perished suf-

HIGH TIME FOR A CHANGE.

The arrival Of q telephone expert on

every resident OF the city. II the ex-
pert will only get out and talk with
the subscribers TO the Honolulu teie-
phone system he will soon find that
the service afforded here has been the
most miserable ever known One az
the things patrons OF the system earn
estly hope will be remedied at once is
the terrible pounding In the ear piece
every time an attempt is made to use
the telephone. This rattle or pounding
is at times severe enough to injure a
persons ear drum and has been the
cause of more profanity and damniug
OF the telephone company than all
other causes.
Another fault that the management
OF the company can easily rectify with
out the aid OF an expert is greater
promptness in answering patrons calls
and greater diligence on the part Of
operators in trying TO secure the con-
nection asked for. few nights ago

20 call up the Office from his house,

but the operator was quite indignant

for a reporter on this paper, out on
duty, TO try to call up the Office IL
the afternoon and be told that no one
answers, when at that very moment one
or more members of the staff are in
the Office, a part of their duty being
the answering of telephone calls. The
fact is that no effort is made on the
part Of the operator TO make the con-
nection asked for.
However, the company now promises
a change and Improvements in its SER
vice and every one is disposed to give
them ample opportunity TO make the
much needed improvements. II they
