WANT LIGHTS
IN WAILUKU
Wailuku, Feb. 10.

Wailuku, Feb. 10.
| Editor Advertiser:-Wan This
great, inspiring, booming word has SO
often appeared in the editorial column
of the Maui News, and not entirely in
vain. The News wanted a few more
houses, and they came; a few more
stores, and they came; a cold storage,
which is coming; drug store, which
is also coming; another hotel, which,
by the way, the News did not want
so awfully bad, but which nevertheless
is also coming. But one thing has
struck me as rather singular. The
Maui News never wanted either good
roads or good light in this booming,
up-to-date town.
Still some people think it quite nice
to be able to cross d road, even in
rainy weather, without having to fight
their way through a layer of the stick
lest mud three feet high and in Egyp-
tian darkness. Wailuku at night, es-
pocially a rainy night, is a disgrace.
We are supposed to have n sidewalk
commencing at Hoffman, d Vetlesen's
corner. This end of it in rainy weather
is transformed into a fairly good imi-
tation of the lao river en- miniature
OF course we have some bits of really
good road. Now, in regard to the
street lights. When a stranger arrives
in Waikiki at night the first thing
that impresses him most profoundly is
the brilliant display of street lights.
He has probably read the Maui News
and has read the glowing, rhapsodical
accounts of the great boom and mar
velous improvements made in this
town. But what meets his eyes on en-
tering the city by the Waikapu road
far exceeds his widest dreams. He
has seen Market street in San Francis
co, New York's Broadway, London S
Bond street, Berlin's Inter der Lin
den illuminated, but what are they all
compared with this sea of light which
now envelopes and blinds him?
An old eighteenth century lamp post
and casts a Pickering light on a radius
of half dozen yards. About half a
mile farther on he discovers another
lamp post. 1t must have been forgot
ten by the lamp lighter. 1t is asserted
with some pretension to truth that the
total number of street lights in Wailu-
ku reaches the enormous figure of IA.
AT Enos & Co.'s corner there is a
lamp with a real light, only there is not
enough of it, Still II looks rather en-
couraging.
We need more lights on out
streets. but the few we have, If prop
erly attended to, would be better than
none at all,

Crane a. ..p.r,a l,.rum.r

An engagement of more than ordi-
nary interest in Chicago is that of
William II. Crane, who took posses
sion of Powers theatre in that city
Oct. 81 for a consider ole time to
present under Charles Frohman's
direction the dramatization of David
Harum." The comedian presenIed
the comedy in New York nearly all of
last season and his success with it
verges on the phenomenal 1t is held
that Harum is the most entertaining
and best drawn character in modern
American fiction. His prototype is
known in nearly every community
and as Westcott pictured him he was
delightfully."- humorous. OF all the
actors on the stage Mr.. Crane is best
fitted to impersopate the shrewd old
chap who believed in the maxim. as
he himself expressed it. "Do unto the
other Teller as you would have him do
unto you, only do him fust." Mr..
Crane gives capital portrait of the
old fellow and not only takes posses
sion of his outward sem blance, but Of
his heart as well. He shows three
sides of the old chaps character
pictures him at his hobby, trading
horses; later as man of leisure in
his rank and finally brings into view
the best side of his nature in his
home. In the work of transferring
the story to the stage very few liber-
ties we've taken with it and in the
play are found all of the familiar
characters and all of the quaint ex-
pressions and humorous philosophy
of the book. Mr.. Frohman has sur
rounded Mr.. Crane with a capital
company and at the close of the Chi
cago engagement will take the play
to Boston, where it will finish out the
season. Throughout the Chicago en-
gagement at Powers theatre it has
been decided to give matinees Wednes-
days as well as Saturdays.

STRONG OPPOSITION
TOIAWRENCE'S RELEASE.

OF 1.-THE effort being made to secure
a pardon for Richard Lawrence, one
OF the Orion bank robbers, the Orion
Times has this to say:
Lawrence has served terms in the
penitentiary of four states. He has
been i'm plicated in a number of des-
perate crimes. He was sentenced to
Joliet from Wheaton for entering the
house OF an aged couple with compan-
ions and torturiDg them until they
gave up their money. He wss par
doned for this, and this act cost the
people of Orion lot of hard earned
money, for the robbery at Orion &C.
Cured shortly afterward. When
Lawrence was sentenced from Cam
bridge he threatened she lives of all
who assisted in sending him to the
pen again. He is one of the most
dangerous of criminals. because he
is keen, inventive and resource
ful. He is an inventor of an
undesirable kind, his greatest feat
being a dynamite gun for opening
safes.
at is presumed that Lawrence
wants to get out on the grounds that
he has experienced change of heart
and wants to reform. Just how he
used his last five chances, however,
are too plainly evident.
The Argument that Lawrence has
been punished enough does not hold.
He is not being punished. He is SIM
ply being kept in a place where his
devilish ingenuity and perverted gen.
ius can work no harm to his fellow
men. If Gov. Yates lets this man
loose upon the public again in the
face of mis- pa record, he will be do
ing one man a favor at a serious cost

PLAIN TALK
To Catarrh Sufferers

Every person suffering from ca
tarrh in its many forms knows that
the common lotions, salves and
douches. do not cure. 1t is needless
to argue this point or to cite cases of
failure, because every victim of ca
tarrhal trouble knows it for himself
If he has tried them.
A local application, if it does any
thing at all, simply gives temporary
relief; q wash, lotion, sa!ve or pow
case which is the blood.
The mucous membrane seeks to re
lieve the blood of catarrhal poison by
secreting large quantities of mucous.
the discharge sometimes closing up
the nostrils descending to the throat
and lsrynx, causing an irritating
cough, continual clearing of the
throat, deafness, indigestion aud
many other disagreeable and persist
ent symptoms.
A remedy to really cure catarrh
must be an internal treatment; a
remedy which will gradually cleanse
the system from catarrhal poison al d
remove the fever and congestion al
ways present in the mucous men,
braDe.
The best remedies for this purpose
are eucalyptol, sanguinaria and by
drastin, but the diff ,ulty has always
been to get these valuable curatives
combined in one palatable, convenient
and efficient form.
Recently this has be en- accomplished
aud The preparation put on the mar
ket under the name of Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets; they re large pleasant
tasting lozsnges. so that they may be
slowly dissolved in the mouth. thus
reaching every part of the mucous
membrane and finally the stomach
and intestines.
An advantage to be considered also
is that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets con-
tain no cocaine, morphine or poison
Gus narcotics, so often found in Ca
tarrh powders, and the use of which
of en- entails habit more dangerous
than the disease.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold
by druggists at so cents for full sized
package and are probably the safest
and most efTectual catarrh cure on the
markat

Status of Purchase is Explained
in Report of the Great
Northern.
s6.79 PER CENT OF STOCK BOUGHT
The Balance Will Be Acquired
Later on, It is An
nounced.

The annual report of the Great
Northern railroad company has been
given out by President Hill. Regard
ing the purchase of the Burlington
system the following information is
given:
"The Great Northern Railroad COM
pany and the Northern Pacific Rail
road company have jointly purchased
1 .075 772 shares ($1O7, 577. 200) of the
capital stock of the Burlington Il
Quincy Railroad company (beipg
90. 80 per cent of the total authorized
issue), and in payment for the same
have issued their joint collateral
trust bonds and scripE to the amount
of $2I5, 1874, 400. Further bonds of
the same series up to total of 1922 =
400, coo, may be issued for acquiring
the residue of the stock. The bonds
are dared and draw interest from
July 1, 1901; they mature July 1.
1921, but may be redeemed on the
first day of any January or July after
Jan. l. 1906, at 100 per cent, with
accrued interest, and draw interest at
the rate of par cent par annu IN
payable on Jan. and July 1 in each
year on coupon bonds. and Jan. l
April 1, Jaly l, and Oct. l in each
year on registered bonds.
Shares Deposited
The shares OF Chicago. Burlington
& Quincy railroad stock thus acquired
have been deposited with the Stand
ard Trust company of New York as
trustee, under a collateral trust in
denture securing the above bonds.
and a contract has been entered into
between the Great Northern aud
Northern Pacific companies defining
the rights and responsibilities of the
companies growing out of the acqui-
sition of the stock.
LAS this transaction was not COM
pleted until after the close of the
fiscal year, neither this company's in

extent. supply the demand for lum-
Der in the prairie states of the middle
west. Those forests are now the
most extensive and most available
body of saving tim Der standing in

and should be in position to reach
a market and secure the haul of the
vast tonnage they are capable of
afTording. The size and value of this
traffic will constantly increase"

THREE LEAKS FIXED
Repairing of the Waterworks In.
take Pipe is Progressing
Slowly.
OLD coFFBRDAM CAUSING DELAY
Other Obstacles Met in Opera
tons on Twenty-fourth
Street Plant.

Waterworks Superintendent Ban
croft says he expects TO save for the
city about So. 600 on the bid for the
repairing OF the intake pipe. either by
contract for the job or by the Golfer
dam method. Three leaks have so
far been repaired out of q dozen or
more that have been found. Where
the work is now being prosecuted the
old cofferdam that was put in when
the pipe was laid is causing some de-
lay and big rock that was evidently
dumped there by the government
forces is found in the way. 1t has
been necessary to pump hole back
of the rock and allow it to sink out of
the way.
Work on the eXcavating that was
attempted by the usual method near
the south shore has been stopped for
some time on account of the water,
which rendered effective work out of
the question. The barge will be
brought to the scene later and the
large pump set at work. when the
pipe can be quickly reached.
Supply Runs short.
No work was done on the intake
we'll by Olof Atkinson, who has the
contract for it's repair, from last FIJI
day till today. The warm and dry
weather has so increased the con-
sumption of water that the small
storage basin was at a dangerously
low level. Accordingly the men were
taken out of the well and the big
pump has been running to fill the
reservoir basins. Today, however,
the well was drained and the repairing
will go on till the end of the week.
