WAYS OF GETTING RICH.

Another 10 per cent month get rich
quick scheme has failed and disclosed
victims by the thousands. The old
chestnut of the farmer and the gold
brick is fast becoming a libel on the
class, for it is vastly more sensible for
a sucker to lose his money on a gold
a month scheme. The man who bets on
the shell at the carnival is sage beside
this kind of fool.
Ten per cent month! Just think of
1t! They are always located in some
great city, and yet the millionaires
within few blocks OF the fakir's place
of business are hunting investments
that pay per cent Il year. What an
easy task it would be to sell him good
thing that would earn 10 per cent a
month, or even 10 per cent year! But
no, for some reason the success of all
these Munchausen enterprises depends
upon getting the money of small in
vestors from afar off. Why? Because
the scheme is a fake. The Standard Oil
monopoly may make As per cent a year
by owning and controlling practically
the whole oil business of the country,
but no man who has 100 per cent en-
terprise need call upon the public for
his capital.
Are the dividends ever paid? OF
course they are-at first. With $1,000
invested they begin paying 10 per cent
a month dividends, using the money
sent in by other investors with which to
pay them Soon the story gets abroad
of these fabulous earnings and the
money begins to pour in. 1t can readily
be seen that in ten months the first In
weston has gotten all his money back,
rate, and all at once the company fails,
showing a volume of business done ag
gregating several million dollars.
1t is the same old story every time,
yet there are dozens of these schemes
working today. and millions of poor
peoples money going into them. Bus
why can't people realize the almost
fabulous returns to be obtained from
a deposit in a savings bank at 4 per
cent compound interest? Banks some
times fail. to be sure, but hardly ever,
and savings bank can pay per cent
interest safely. Suppose a laborins
man just married at the age of % years
should decide with his wife to deposit
$40 every month In a savings bank at 4
per cent interest, and leave it all there
to be compounded semi annually. Al
the end of ten years he would have
$1,456 on deposit, and only $1,000 would
have come out of his wages. On his
fortieth birthday he could point with
pride to $2,432 in the bank, and when
he and his wife were ready to celebrate
their silver wedding they would have
on deposit $4,96S, only $4,000 of which
had come out of their wages, and the
habit of laying by $40 per month would
have become SO well established that
the amount would never be missed, and
thereafter the income on that deposit a,
per cent per annum would return ar
old age pension of 5000 per year abso-
| lutely safe and certain. This is quick
way of getting rich with the result
guaranteed.

remarked after the case had been de.

an effective object lesson to the jury

might transpire in that time. The jury

The jury was gone for half an hour,

trip.
This morning before six o'clock the
line will be operated. Three cars will
be sent out. The last will turn back
at the first switcn in the Waikiki road
which is $50 feet beyond that in King
street, Pawaa. The second will pro-
ceed to the switch just this side of the
park and the first will go on to the end.
The regular ten minute service of the
King street line will be kept up all day.
The complete run from Kalihi to Dia-
mond Head will consume forty-four
minutes, or one minute less than the
former time from Fort street to Ka-
piolani Park, by the horse car. The
run from Fort street to the end of the
park will take twenty-eight minutes.
The new line will be a popular one
without doubt. and the cars promise to
be well filled today at least, for the
band will play at Makee Island in honor
of the opening.

The first cars over the extension were
four specials, containing a party of in

it was given to make the nsugural
trip. The occasion was indeed a note
worthy one. it was the bringing of Wai-

the wiping out of the long and dusty
ride which detracted so much from the
seaside for the people who are other

Designs for Proposed
improvements
Submitted.

Two set of plans for the proposed ad.
dition Of two wings to the Capito
building, which will make it of sufh-
cient size to accommodate all Offices
Territorial and county, were submitted
to Superintendent Cooper yesterday.
The estimated cost of the proposed
structure is 100000 for each wing, and
the reconstructed building will allow
accommodation for all the officers pro-
vided for by the county act, and for
che government of the Territory as
now constituted.
Only two plans were submitted, one
by Newcomb & Dickey, the other by
G. A. Howard Other architects are at
work upon plans, but the time was 100
limited for their completion as the
competition closed yesterday. Neither
of the plans submitted were accepted
by Superintendent Cooper, and they
will simply be sent to the legislature
with a request for an appropriation for
making the desired changes.
The plans submitted by Newcomb &
Dickey show but the one wing for the
accommodation of the legislature, the
other wing being exactly similar In
detail as to exterior construction, the
only change being in the arrangement
of the interior. The style of architect
