New Methods.

While the stockholders of the Ha-
waiian Electric Company have refused
to change their system of charges for
the use of electric current at the pres
ent time. preferring to leave the meter
system in vogue, there is now in course
of preparation by the officials of the
company. charge plan by which it is
expected there will be returned to the
corporation a more equable ratio of
earnings.
The adjourned meeting of the stock
holders of the company was held yes

Financial reports showing the favora-

received, and then the most particu-
lar business of the meeting, the re-

meeting three weeks ago, upon the
question of a system of charges, was
read
Chairman WaterhOuse, of the COM

rates of the company be made fiat, and
no meters be used, submitted the re-

shown further that while the rates
charged there varied from to 20 cents.
the average price of coal was 1896 per
ton, and the maximum was Sc a ton.
This was placed against the local
price of coal at $500 ton.
and the price of current at % cents.
A point brought out was that while /
the prices were varied, there was
fiat rate provided by law which was
at the option of the user. The state

stallation of $1,000 lights there was
machine capacity for but 1900. This
meant that should the city be placed

WHITE cLorH THE VOGUE.

There are several points this season
that deserve particular attention and
are wonderfully popular says the
Chicago Record-Herald.
One of these is the great prominence
of white. White cloths are the height
of style to-day for dressy wear, and
not only are they seen in dresses, but
in outer garments as well, while the
same mode is carried out in hats. This
means a great vogue of ladies cloth,
broadcloth doe skin and a variety of
other smooth materials deliberately
trimmed and adorned. These effects
are shown in combinations with lace
and other fancy trimmings to very
considerable extent. M
A very popular and fetching mode
is that of a light-colored gown reliev
ed by wide panels of handsome lace
in self-color and sometimes by a little
rosette of velvet in a darker shade to
relieve the monotony. This idea, by
the way, of showing a rosette of vel
vet or full hang ribbon, is a very
popular one at the moment, and makes
it's appearance not only here but in
other kinds of costumes as we'll.
Nowhere as much as in the dressy
evening outer-wraos is this light
colored cloth so popular. And these
wraps are indeed beautiful creations.
The newest and most, stylish differ
from models we have had in the past
in several respects. The ma ority of
them are made very much fuller. The
sleeves are almost invariably large
with a tight cuff, and most important
of all they are frequently without col
lars, or maybe have a short pointed
effect in the back. On the other hand
some and especially the longer gar
ments show the high medici collar,
this being usually lined very elabo-
rately

"Oh, it is too dreadful" she shud-

distended in lively apprehension; has
there been some awful disaster? Have
you been forced to look upon some
awful tragedy"

KILLED BY 0vERSEER.
Coker Loclett, Negro, Was Shot
Near AIbnny.

Near Albany.
Albany, Ga, Nov. 21.--News reached
the city to-day of the fatal shooting of
Coker Lockett, a negro, by j. j. Kim
sey, white overseer on the Fort Coda
wahee place in West Dougherty. The
negro, it appears, waylaid Kimsey and
attempted to shoot him as he drove
past in his buggy, but the white man
succeeded in getting in the first shot
and fired the entire contents of a dou-
ble-barrelled shotgun into Lockett's
side.
The trouble grew out of a determine
ton on the part of the overseer to
drive the Lockett family from the plan
tation, where they had been the cause
of constant trouble for the past several
years.

The Financier's Statement.


New York, Aug. 30-The New York
Financier this week says:
The striking feature of the official
statement of the New York Associated
Banks last week was the small loss in
the surplus reserve, compared with the
previous week. this loss being only S575.
1t is noteworthy that never before in the
slight a change been recorded. The loans
were reduced $S647.s00. making $19.loS, 900
during the fortnight; the reduction, as
was the case in the previous week. was
due to calls and probably also to can
cellations of syndicate and other large
$4135,200, while the legal tenders increas-
ed $l.066,S00, making net loss of $3,06S.-
400 cash. or $2.6S9, 200 below the estimated
reduction based upon the traceable
movements of money during the week.
The decrease in cash since the beginning
of-the month, has, it may he observed.
been SAC, 2S1 100. The deposits We're reduced
by $12. 271 300. or only $3.50. 900 more than
the amount called for by the net loss of
cash. and the decrease in loans; the
statement, therefore, is not very far out
of proof. The required reserve was re-
duced $3067,S25 through the decrease IN
deposits. Deducting this sum from the
surplus reserve, which now stands at
