1t was brought out during the discus
sion that the pilots OF Honolulu were
getting 5000 a month at the present
time and they seemed to be perfectly
satisfied with that. The sum II was
seeking to have the item pass at would
result in raise OF s25 month for
each one Of the men. This was surely
enough.
The Honolulu item having been cut
down. the members from this island
who voted in favor Of leaving the sum
as in the bill, got in and worked against
Hawaii and Maui on the ground that
II there was to be cut In one place,
there should be cut all around. The
result was that the items were cut
down 5000 each as given above.

SNOW SOUGHT TO ESCAPE.

Grant Snow, the negro burglar who
is now serving a sentence Of twelve
years imposed on him for robbing the
home OF Russian Frank" some months
ago, made a desperate but vain at
tempt yesterday afternoon to regain
his liberty. Snow was, together with
thirty-six other prisoners, being
marched from the Makiki quarry,
where the gang had been working,
along the Punchbowl road. He sudden
ly jumped over fence and ran into
a Portuguese yard. Guards Cockett
and Morris gave chase and opened fire.
One shot hit the fugitive in the head
and he gave up. The wound is in the
scalp on the top Of the negro's head
II Is rather a long one, but is not al
all dangerous. Snow will be able to
work In a few days.

EDISON A FAILURE

tum.

"The world has seen a variety OF
achievements wrought by man, but no
other has made such strides toward
the perfection of industry and prog
ress, toward the Advancement of the
whole world, as the application OF
electricity"
Thus spoke Lord Kelvin, and in JUS
tice he might have supplemented b
same by stating that the Yankee wiz
ard, Thomas A. Edison, has ever been
the leader in the advance guard which
has with such signal success explored
hat mystical electrical field. How
ever, the public prints have long been
surfeited with stories Of Edison's bril-
liant coups; and here. for yariety's
sake, Is given tie record Of a failure.
When Edison first established his
laboratory and electrical works over
in New Jersey, he had in his employ an
lrishman named Barney Gilhooly.
Barney was engineer and fireman--in
short, he was general utility man

Now, like all the rest of mankind,
Barney liked to sleep in the morning
as long. as possible, and he conjured
his brain as to how to feed his horse
In the morning without a personal
visit to the barn. Finally he enlist
ed the services Of his illustrious EN-
ployer, explaining that 1t would be
a great convenience If by some button
and wire arrangement the morning ra-
ton of oats could be doled out TO the
horse. In that way he claimed that
when he had prepared and eaten HIS
own breakfast Dobbin also would be
ready for the road.
Mr.. Edison readily grasped the idea,
says the New York Times, and that

THE EASTER HOLIDAYS
WE'RE GIVEN ny THE SCHOOL con-
MISSION n moNDAg NIGHT.
The Matter OF the Condition of Ia Fence
at the Second Ward school Was
Referred 20 Com. sefberf.

The members of the Board of Educa-
ton met in regular session in the sec
ond ward SCHOOL, building Monday
at z o'clock with President Russier in
the chair and Commissioners Gerhardt,
Whetzel. Paulding aud Seibert pres
ent. The minutes Uf the former
meeting were read and approved, and
the business of the evening then ia
ken up.
A number of bills against the board
were received aud ordered paid.
An application was received from
Miss Pinn, of Ohio. APPLYING for a POI
sition rs a teacher in English. The
application was accompanied by a
number of recommendations but as
there was no a her letter was
filed and the recommendations ordered
returned.
President Russler reported to the
board that his attention had been
called to the condition of the fence be-
tween the second ward school building
and Miss McElroy's house. and that
she wished to repair the fence, as it is
in a bad condition, but as the fence
belongs half to the school. the board
should stand half of the expense. The
matter was referred to Mr.. Seibert,
commissioner of the second ward, for
Investigation and bower to act.
1t was ordered that the schools be
| closed on Good Friday and Easter
Monday. thev being legal holidays.
Supt. @. II, Cole presented to the
board the matter of the coming Ora
~torical contest to.be held April II, fol-
their suggestion but it was the belief
of the board that thew had nothing to
do with it. As there was no further
business the board adjourned.

very day, accompanied by an assist
ant, he repaired 10 Barney's place and
Installed an electrical appliance which
he anticipated would fill the bill. 1t
was so arranged that If the oats were
placed in a receptacle at the top OF
q chute, the pressing of a button at
the house would put machinery in mo-
ton to do the rest.
And so IL came to pass that on the
morning~of the automatic oatfeeder's
debut Barney pushed the magical but
ton, serene in the belief that the Wiz
yards mechanism would fulfill its mis-
sion.
But, alasl the best laid plans of cleo
tricians, as well as those of other folk,

been initiated into the mysteries of
the n~ew-fangled arrangement, and, in
still watches Of the morning, when he-
was dreaming of the millennium
of automobilism and blue gras
pastures, the internal creaking
Of wires, followed by an avalanche
Of oats, convinced the good steed hat
the hour of fate had struck. In fact,
he was so frightened be reared back
with violence and crashed through the
side of the barn; and when inquiring
Barney arrived on the scene Dobbin
was complacently picking up apples
under a tree in the garden.
Since that memorable morning Mr..
Edison's automatic feeder has never
been operated, and Barney is still
feeding his horse in the old-fashioned
vay.

THEFT AT JAIL.
Eight Dollars stolen by One, Joseph

Eight Dollars stolen by One, Joseph
Grimes From His Cell Mate.
Joseph Zeser was arraigned before
Justice Snyder last Friday on the
charge of stealing So in u. S. curren-
cy from II Joseph Grimes. He plead
guilty of the charge and was fined $40
and costs in default of which he was
given 80 days more in the jail.
Both men arr prisoners in the coun-
tv iaia. On the first of this week
Grimes missed his s. which he had on
his person and notified the authorities
at the jail. A search was then made
for the money and after considerable
trouble it was found. Following is
the manner in which the moner was
found; 81 in the joints of the iron
bed: 81. concealed in the back of a
hand mirror and 50. concealed in the
hollow end of a writing pen.
That the monev was secreted shows
that Zeser is verv apt at the business
and although in iail could not refrain
from his former business.

STOCK mine IN America, the rich bodies
of gold in the Lake View mine We're
rapidly exhausted. The monthly pro-
duction fell from 10000 ounces TO TO-
coo ounces. and the price of stock fell
from $3.50 to $50. That is an illustra-
ton of how the stock of our other
properties rose and fell. The val in
South Africa brought on a crisis. Some
thing had to be struck by lightning,
and naturally it was u speculative
properties.
There is no essential difference be-
tween what we did in England and
what your Industrial companies are
doing in America. When times are
good and money free, prices VIII rise
and rise. and people plunge headlong
fntoS the market, buying at any price
and without investigation. 1t Is so in
England. 1t is so here. 1t is so every
where. The value of all securities be-
comes inflated. No one thinks of dan
ger. Then comes the crash, as ii must
inevitably come when prices fall to
the lowest Level. 1t generally happens
that the people who buy at the highest
prices IN times of speculative excite
ment sell at the lowest prices. Cool
headed, cautious men drop out before
the crisis Is reached.
Then the loser turns to the pro
spectus of the company. Now, a pro-
spectus may be all right, and yet after
a failure 1t may look all wrong. There
never was a prospectus issued but you
could drive a carriage and pair through
1t after a failure of the company. If
the Lake View mine production CT gold
had not fallen Off. there would have
been no failure. The earnings of that
one property would have been enough
to pay the Globe dividends.
Twelve months ago the official re-
ceiver of, the board of trade made a
public inquiry into the failure of the
London and Globe. British America and
Standard corporation. 1t lasted fifteen
days. The official receiver reported
that the only thing that could be charg-
ed against the directors was erring
judgment. The papers were sent to
the law offices of the crown. The at
torney general reported in August last
and again in Deeember-reported to
parliament-that there was no case for
prosecution. My counsel Their Informed

APRIL MONTH OF SUDDEN CHANGES.
Rev. Hicks violent Rain
storms Preceded by Warm weather.
Cool Periods Follow.

The Rev. Irl Hicks i'll "Word and
Works. cautions people of all sections
to prepare for the sudden changes of
weather in April. The transition state
of the season through the greater part
of the month will result in sudden aud
violent rain storms preceded by warm
humid weather and followed by cool
periods We should not be surprised
at hail storms and dense thunder
clouds.
The April storm periods will adj
vance in regular periods from the west
and mete out to the east more than
usual seasonable weather, according TO
the Rev. Hicks forecast. ApIil ma6es
its entrance ON reactionarv storm DAYS,
but the first storm period will be like
ly from the 9th to 18th, due to the
moon and vulcan and mercury.
LET it be remembered that we are
still under the influence of Earth Yer
nal equinox. and that both Vulcan and
Mercury will blend their powers,
bringing a marked crisis from We'd
nesdav the Sth to Sunday the 11th."
This may be tardy in reaching eastern
sections.
The Rev. Hicks admonishes the peo-
pie of the east to look for change to
warmer weather about the 18th to 2lst
"a condition resulting i'll storms of
great energy. "From about the 18th
to Tuesday the 81. very decided storms
will run their regular course from
west to east across the country"
The final storm period the Rev.
Hicks states will be from the Gath to
27th. Showerv, tory conditions will
pass off until after moon on the 9th.
after which date will follow a brief,
short change to much cooler and frosts
northward.
Summing up the whole matter, -
the Rev. Hicks writes. 1--WE believe
that April will be an average good
month for all industries. The last
half especially will be fine aud pleas
ant. Showers must be expected with
an occasional hard storm, but we do
not predict an excess of general rains,
but rather th other extreme"
