son last night. and there was an i'm
mense crowd of the young people and
others there to enjoy the affair The

of five pieces and those who were
present say that it was most excellent.
The new waltzes and two steps were
fully appreciated, as was shown III the
hearty encores which Prof. Stovall
received.
Supper for the ball was served Mt
the Metropolitan restaurant and it
was a first class one. too. epeciallv

into consideration.
The committee having charge of

Can Build An
Electric Light
Plant for Sum.

Alderman Hutchinson. who with
Alderman Shores constituted the COM
mittee of the city council. authorized
to make investigation of electric
lighting systems. III the various towns
and cities of Colorado, returned to
this city Yesterday afternoon and ac-
corded the following interview with
Sentinel representative.
The first question asked Mr.. Hutch
inson was. Ibid you find that an
electric light plant could be purchased
for the sum of money this citv can
vote to erect plant?'' His answer
was in part as follows:
''We certainly can erect such plant
for the sum of $4,000 Not only can
we erect the plant for that sum of
money but plant that will have
twice the capacity of the present cleo
trio lighting plant in this city. 1t
could be constructed of the latest and
most improved machinery for electric
lighting and will do greater amount
of work.
s'The plant upon which we receiv-
ed an estimate FROM several construct
ing firms, was one which would not
only double the capacity of the pres
ent plant. but would furnish power
sufficient to propel twenty street cars
on the streets of this city; furnish
light to the pumping plant and also
transmit sufficient power in the night
by saving the expense of fuel. 1 will
even go so far and say that we can
during the day furnish the power to
operate the Little Book Cliff railway
and haul all the coal to this city nee
essary for our own use and to supply
the trade of that road.
'"This may seem considerable for a
plant to do that is to cost but $2S. 600.
but we have the plans and specifica-
tions of several electric constructing
firm; who are only too willing to Sc
cure and construct the plant.
''All of the machinery would be
modern. The electric light poles are
to be of cedar instead of spruce and L
can see no reason why this plant
should not pay all operating expenses.
beside laying considerable by every
year to pay the original cost of the
plant.
1.-The estimate of s2s, 600 includes
all labor and extra material used in
making the installation complete, in
Guiding freight charges. carriage and
a Temporary building made up of
heavy timbers and steel The esti-
ante includes such outside construc-
tion as will enable the entire town to
be properly lighted both for arcs and
incandescents as may be demanded by
the consumers, with day electric
curr mt to supply all small industrial
institutions de string power.
A complete report will be made at
the next meeting of the city council.

attention of the Executive Council al
yesterdays meeting.

PEOPLE We KNOW
They Are Honolulu People
and What They Say is of
Local Interest.

When an incident like the following
occurs right here at home, it is bound
to carry weight with our readers. So
many strange occurrences go the
rounds of the press; are published as
facts, people become skeptical. On one
subject skepticism is rapidly disappear
ing. This is due to the actual expert
ence of our citizens, and their public
utterances regarding them. The doubt
er must doubt no more in the face of
such evidence as this. The public state
ment of a reputable citizen living right
in Honolulu, one whom You can see
every day, leaves no ground for the
skeptic to stand on.
Mrs. N. Joseph lives at the corner
of Liliha and King streets. this city,
She states as follows: ct was troubled
for seven months with a lame back
and also suffered from occasional at
tacks of chills. These various COM
plants made my condition by no means
a happy one, so that I much desired
some remedy which would bring relief.
This found in Doans Backache Kid
ney Pills, some of which 1 obtained at
the HOLSTER Drug Co.'s store. I am
pleased to say that they gave me not
merely temporary but permanent relief
and I have not the least hesitancy
therefore in recommending Doan's
Backache Kidney Pills. They are a
good kidney medicine"

CLAIMS IN
HUNDREDS
The Foreign Subjects
Will Not Be
Alone.

| Instead OF having a bakers dozen OF
claims of foreign citizens who were
concerned in the affairs of 1895 to con-
slider and settle, If there is provided a
commission under the recommendation
of the message of the Governor, it will
probably have something more than 300
claims before it, and some of the law
yers of the city are said to be now pre-
pairing to press for awards to clients
who were then citizens of the United
States and of Hawaii.
The recommendation of Governor Dole
was made as the result of his deter
mination that there should be early set
Element of the pending matters and his
suggestions as to plans were those of
the State Department of the United
States as well. Much pressure has been
brought to bear upon the Foreign office
at Washington. owing to the fact that
the ministers of the powers interested
have been pressing for such recogni-
ton of the claims for some time.
Not the least insistent of these has
been the Portuguese government, which
having one citizen represented, Manuel
Refs, has made vigorous action it's rule.
The British government, with nine citi-
zens interested has gone to the front
in the negotiations, finally owing to the
20
many sides, the Washington govern
ment became anxious to see the whole
matter put aside through definite ac-
ton.
There are pending claims of nine Brit
ish subjects. Originally there were
twelve, but two claims were withdrawn
and one was paid, so that the remain
ing ones are those with which the COM
mission, always provided there is a
commission, will have to deal. These
are, heirs of L. ]. Levey, NJ. C. Bailey,
F. H. Redward, Thomas R. Rawlins,
Arthur Mcdowell, F. Harrison, c. w.
Ashford, G. Carson Kenyon and E. B.
Thomas.
There were claims made by several
American citizens, but these were never
allowed, but now it is understood that
they will be revived and pressed, and
that in conjunction with them there
will be presented, if any effect is to be
had through lobbying, the claims of all
the Hawaiians who were arrested and
held at the prison during the times of
1896
There are also several other claims of
subjects of other powers. Thus there |
were two Greeks, Lycurgus and CANA |
rinos, and last but not least one Dane, |
Edmund Norrie, who recently became |
an American citizen. All of these will |
be placed on all tours with the claims |
of the subjects of Great Britain, it is |
expected, and there will be piled up a |
large sum.

fed that he was under the orders of
Wright, and had been told that he
would be discharged if he didn't obey
orders. He identified various books of
stubs. which showed money collected by

Wright, the defendant, was asked to
open the safe. He tried to do it and
failed, then said he had forgotten the
combination. Defendant telephoned TO
Carlos Long who came up and defend
ant then opened the safe. The cash
tray was taken out and the money put
on the table when witness was told to
go to Hawaiian Electric Co. When he
returned he gave a memorandum to
Treasurer Wright, and then Dole ask
ed what became of the money, but de-
PENDANT made no reply. w. H. Wright
said defendant ought to be in the GUS
tody of the Sheriff, but B. H. Wright
asked that everything be kept quiet.
A number of books being the records
of the Public Works Office were then
offered but objection was made to testi-
mony on the subject because the writ
ing was not that of the defendant.
There will be further argument on the
question this morning.
