GETS A GOOD
APPOINTMENT
W. H. Hits Of Honolulu 10 Have
Charge of Southeastern
Portion of Luzon.

Friends in this city will be glad to-
hear of the good fortune in Manila of
w. H. Hits, former supervisor of
drawing at the Normal School here.
While on the way over to the Philip
pines on the Thomas, Mr.. Hits was
asked by the teachers aboard to give
a lecture upon the methods in vogue
here of teaching the Hawaiians.
The teachers were so pleased with
the method that upon their arrival at
Manila they asked that they be assign
under Mr.. Hits. He, consequently
was appointed division superintendent
of the provinces of Camarines, Ablay
Sorsogon and Catanduanes, comprising
the southeastern portion of the island
of Luzon. The province is the largest
in the Philippines, excepting that to
which Superintendent Townsend was
appointed. Professor Hits has fifty
two teachers in his charge, and will
have headquarters at Nueva in the
province of Camarines. Writing to a
friend in this city, he says: Living
in Manila is out of all reason. We
have lost the commissary privileges
but we are making a big fight for
them again. We like Manila very
much, so far. 1t is much cooler than
in Honolulu during this season. There
are no mosquitoes here to bother US.
and we have a good time"

ELECTRIC WIRES
Boughs Gut DownSome Places
Still in Darkness Last
Night.

Tons of boughs of the trees which
interfere with the wires of the electric
companies were felled to the ground
yesterday with axes, saws and knives.
and the danger from electrocution from
broken wires will soon pass. Gangs
of men were working from daylight to
nightfall in clearing the wires of rain
laden limbs and all branches in con-
tiguity 70 the wires were removed. AS
the trouble with the electric wires on
Tuesday night arose from the branch
es wearing off the insulation, the Ha-
waiian Electric Company decided yes
terday morning to literally take the
bull by the horns and eradicate this
source of danger Palms, algarobas,
fancy foliage trees, or anything that
in the least way brushed against the
wires, were sharply pruned.
The work started at the corner OF
Alakea and King streets yesterday. on
the King street stretch, and continued
along that thoroughfare to the Waikiki
turn. The heavy mass of foliage in the
trees fronting the Capitol grounds,
where much trouble was experienced
during Tuesday nights storm was re-
moved. Pedestrians were in danger

Guiding all the necessary Iron work.
The road is one of the best equipped

the group. 1t is built with sixty pound
steel rails, has locomotives of fifty
tons, with the tenders, seventy tons,
and runs freight cars of twenty tons
capacity. 1t Is the standard gauge, and
being built along the Olaa and Puma
plateaus where there are no streams, in
consequence there will be a minimum
of cost of maintenance, as there are no
Iculverts, and the road is ballasted with
lava rock
The company has at present some
thirty miles of road completed
and an additional ten miles in
, the Olaa division will be fully
completed by January 1st. to with
in seven miles of the Volcano House.
For the purpose of making any further
extensions which may be deemed neces-
sary in the future, by the growth OF
the Olaa or Puma plantations, the trus-
tees will hold S150,000 of the bonds under
this issue, which will be delivered upon
the completion of each mile Of the main
line. This will make 1t possible for the
company to take immediate advantage
of every opportunity to increase it's line
in the direction of paying business
without it being necessary to go
through the formality of making an
additional mortgage.

sion, beloved by his wife and children,
and those who had the honor of it in
their possession in Honolulu, were en-
trusted with thing which was dearer
to him than all else in this world
When the services began Mr.. Murphy
was upon the platform together with
Rev. w. D. Westervelt, Rev. Mr.. Hart
ley, Theodore Richards and Major Will
son. the latter being the chairman of
the meeting. Prayer was offered by
Rev. Mr.. Thwing, who was followed by
Mr. Westervelt who made a tender ad
dress full of regrets at the leave-tak
ing of Mr.. Murphy. He said it was
not a pleasure to say goodbye but it
was a pleasure to have known Mr.. Muir
ply. There was one thing which Mr..
Murphy had left behind and that was
the great principle of ministerial life,
that the work should increase year by
year. He thought that those who had
gathered from time to time to hear Mr..
Murphy had not done enough for the
man who had redeemed them. There
must be a determination to carry out
the work of Mr. Murphy with the
hearty support and cooperation of the
community It should be open and
abOve-board from beginning to end. He
concluded by saying: "Oh, Brother Muir
phy may the time never come when
peace to you will mean stagnation may
the time never come when the uilikias,
the troubles. of life, will attach to you;
may there always be a surcease from
all noise and confusion, and a singing
I of the song of absolute faith in the
only One who can remodel degenerate
man"
Theodore Richards spoke in a light
happy vein, his short address being
replete with witticisms and bright say
ings He said he thought he was pret-
ty well "broken in" as he had made
many rounds in the city with Mr.. Muir
ply in addressing various peoples on
temperance. He felt he was a kind of
buffer" to precede Mr.. Murphy to pre-
pare them for the good that was to

i to heal special diseases, those of the

We took mental exception to the stste- ment, believing it to be sn exaggsr sted one, but some information which h as since been communicated to us, leads us to believe that the statement was quite within the facts. Our in- fsrmant states that the Copper Queen is shipping from four to five car loads of bullion c day from it's mines at Bi-bes. equal ts about 200 900 pounds oi copper day. The bullion carrie, some gold, but not SO much as the the copper bullion shipped from the Verde district, but some, nevertheless the value oi which can only be guess ed at. But besides whatever gold the Copper Queen bullion carries, 1t |: well known that 1t carries high tilve' values.
