STILL AT LARGE.

WAILUKU, July 27.-The Porto Ri
can prisoner, Modesto Soares, who es-
capped from the half way house be-
tween Waikiki and Lahaina, last Sat
urday night at about 1890 o'clock has
not yet been found. Every steamer
leaving for Honolulu by way of Ma
alaea or Kahului, is carefully watched.
There is hardly any possibility of the
prisoners escaping to Honolulu, as
there seems to be a better chance of a
hiding place on Maui. especially among
Porto Ricans on the different planta-
lions. The different camps in Waikiki,
Spreckelsville, and other plantations
have been carefully searched over but
there is no clue to the prisoner yet.

IMPROVEMENTS AT THE INN


The completion of some etensive i'm
provements at the Waikiki Inn was
made the occasion of a very DELIGHTFUL
dance by Manager II. n. Almy Satur-
day night. The manager of the Inn
has had broad board walk constructed
along the beach the entire length of
the Inn buildings. This walk makes
a most attractive addition to that re-
sort 1t was used for dancing. In ad-
dition to the walk Manager Almy has
had built one of the cosiest private
dining rooms directly overlooking the
board walk or beach lanai as it miPht
more correctly be termed. This priv
ate dining room is in reality an open
lanai and combines to give the guests
the privacy of a separate apartment as
well as to afford them a perfect view
of the beach i'm three different direc-
lions. Manager Almy gave one of his
famous dinners to representatives of
the press the new private dining apart
ment being used for that purpose. The
dance lasted until midnight. Many
officers from the Petrol were present.

CARS NOW BUT SHORT
WAY OFF.
Try Out of Car Yesterday Entirely
Satisfactory-Small Gaps in Track to
be Filled In.

Today the track of the Rapid Tran
sit Company from the power house up
Alapai street and to Punahou is being
cleared of rock and dirt and it is the
intention to run a car over it tomor-
row with a party of directors and
others. The tracks, after being put
down, were buried so as to leave the
streets as little impaired as possible.
The grooves, therefore, have to be care
fully cleaned out.
1t will not be possible for the COM
pany to reach the city from Punahou
in several days yet on account of a
gap in the track at the corner of Alapai
and Young street. at that point the
track comes up from town back of a
house occupied by a Portuguese. This
property has the distinction of having
numerous adverse claimants, which has
thus far prevented an amicable settle
ment. Condemnation proceedings have
been begun, however, and when an
award has been made it will only be
matter of a few days before the track
is connected up. There was another
gap in Printers lane back of Hawai-
ahao seminary, but a settlement was
recently made with regard to this piece
and the track was connected up this
morning.
Work will be begun either today or
tomorrow at the corner of Alakea and
Hotel streets where the Rapid Transits
track will have to cross the track of
the Hawaiian Tramways Company
When the two unfinished pieces mem
toned are put in, the line will be COM
plete all the way from Punahou to
Nuuanu valley, and a start can be
made.
Yesterday a car was run from the
power house at Alapai and Beretania
streets up Hunalilo street as
far as Kapiolani and back. The car
was run by Manager Ballentyne. Elec-
trical Engineer Barley and j. H.
Fisher were on the car with him.
OF the trial yesterday Colonel j. r
Fisher this morning: Il always felt
sure that the cars would be a success
and now l know it. They are not only
commodious and comfortable but can
be handled like toys. The track is
quite smooth will get better with use"

ELECTRICIANS NARROW ESCAPE.


c. A. Hemscholl, an employe of the
Hawaiian Electric Company, met with
an accident Friday morning that
might easily have proven fatal. Hens
choll was showing off the principles of
a converter i'm the store room of the
company on Merchant street when he
accidently connected the current with
wire that he had in his hand. The
effect was instantaneous a powerful
current of electricity passing through
his body and rendering him uncon-
scious. Fortunately i'm falling Rems-
choll kicked the wire out of contact
with his body and thus finally escaped
with NOTHING worse than some painful
burns on his hands being only incapa-
citated two hours from work. 1t is
calculated that more voltage passed
through Remscholls body than is used
to electrocute criminals

worm are nearly spherical and about

in weight. The eggs, when about to
hatch, are spread out On clean paper

cut mulberry leaves. The newborn
worms at once pass through the

at length the worms begin to lose ap-

the grower to construct little arches

spinning of the ocoons. When this
has been done the worms promptly
mount into the branches and begin to
spin. Care has to be taken to prevent
any two or three of them from making
a double or treble cocoon, which would
be unfit for weaving.

4 MisIaid Proposal.
nv EI.IIOTT "

BY ELLIOTT FLOWER.
xcopyright, 1901, by Daily Story Pub. Coz
George Henry Hartwell mislaid his
proposal Of marriage every time he
called upon Miss Helen Martindale. He
always prepared it in advance. but he
never could find 1t when he wanted 1t.
at first it was his custom to mislay 1t
somewhere inithe recesses Of his mind,
but the last time he lost 1t In another
way.
Hartwell labored under the disad-
vantage Of being a difident man. He
was far from being a coward, but he
simply could not say 81 love you" to
the most charming girl Of his ac-
'Auaintance. Some men are built that
way, and they alone know what a
frightful drawback it is. There was
every indication that Miss Martindale
had a high regard for him, not to put
Vt any stronger, and no n but a
idifadent man would have experienced
any trouble In asking the requisite
question. Even Hartwell knew how 1t
should be done. He had put it all
down on paper and rehearsed 1t be-
fore a mirror; he had it, so he told
himself, right on the tip Of his tongue;
but this carefully prepared proposal
was not there when the time came 70
use 1t. In some way he seemed to
have mislaid it. Everything favored
him except his own. heart, which
khoughtlessly distracted the declara-
tion Of love and put It somewhere out
of his reach. Then, to make his pre-
-dicament the more distressing, the
aforesaid heart began doing a trip
hammer exercise that he thought sure
~ would alarm the house. Still he per-
severed, and, after making elaborate
preparations to drop on n or both
knees when the proper moment ar
rived, he said in an earnest, but trem-
plous, voice: Miss Martindale-
Helen-May I call you Helen?"
esyyAlslWhy, certainly, II you WISH" she
n answered with charming frankness.
Thank .you," he said, gratefully,
and then he reached for that proposal
only to ind that it was, gone. He
Hound the. preface to 1t ready for use.
but that was all. "I--I--have o
kreatfavor. to ask Of you. Helen he
said; AAsomething that is closer to my
heart than anything else in the wide
world. IT."
Here he stopped, stammered q little.
and then said he would like to bring
m old college friend to call. OF course.
1t was manifestly absurd to say that
this was something closer to his heart
than anything else in the wide world.
and, II Miss Martindale had not been
very much in love with him, she would
have considered him q huge joke. He
tried so hard to propose. and he failed
