There is a certain man living not

that his rage is justifiable he is vely

One day he had been having an UNI

notice that his two-year-old son was
sitting In a corner of the room, his
face rapt and absorbed. A few hours
later the child's mother came in and
was Mortified beyond words to hear
her baby giving voice to a stream Of
explosives. some of which began with
a very large capital D-the rest with
a variety of letters quite unmention-

of such an experience" says the in

widespread
Thorough cleaning of room does
not mean a semi.annual cleaning. As
a clever woman said: House clean
ing? Don't!' There are certain things
which need to be done annually or
semi-annually such as painting,
whitening of walls. cleaning stoves,
but with the modern house II is more
sanitary and more economical to keep
clean all the time than to try to do
II twice a year.
Following the regular sequence of
processes is the most effective way to
clean. If the mistress knows this Sc
quence she can instruct the maid.

Dust the window shades and roll them
close to the top. Remove from the
window, after busting, all the easily

Next dust the pictures, both glasses,

MORE Dividends

At meeting of the directors of the
Oahu Sugar Co. held this morning, it
was voted that beginning on April Is
a dividend of / 1-2 per cent would be
paid monthly. This action of the di-
rectors is probably due to the recent
rise in the price of sugar. The direct
ors of Haiku and Paia plantations met
this morning and a dividend of 1 per
cent a month will be payable on and
after April l.
The Honomu Sugar Company has de-
cided to pay dividend of l 12 per

CONFESSION In EYIDENCE.

The trial of Samuel Luhiau, the Hilo
school boy charged with raising a 50
money order to $50, and collecting the
money on it, is still in progress in the
United States District Court, but may
go to the jury this afternoon. A hard
fight was made this morning by the
defense against the admission of the
testimony of U. S. Marshal Hendry
and Antonio Manuel of the District
Attorneys Office, to whom it is alleg-
ed the defendant made a confession OF
his guilt after his arrest, and while
still in Hilo. Judge Dole finally ad-
mitted the evidence which was intro
duced to refute the denials made by
Luhiau on the stand yesterday that ne
had ever made any confession.

MAY SELL THE NEW MAUNA KEA

There is danger of Hawaii losing
the Inter-Island's Splendid new steam
ship Mauna Kea and, according to the
story that has leaked out on the wa
terfront, public patronage is the only
thing that can save her to these
waters.
On Tuesday she started out on her
first run to Hilo and way ports under
the understanding that she is to re-
main on that run for a month as a
test of what the traffic will prove. If
she pays she will be kept on, neces-
sarily. If she does not pay she will
be laid off and perhaps sent to the
Coast for sale. There are steamship
people on the Coast who would like to
have her and there would be no diff
Guilty in selling her, for she beats any
thing of her size in the way of accom-
modations.

Within a few months Honolulu will
attract the eyes of the world for her
wireless wonders.
The Wireless Telegraph Company Of
which Clinton ]. Hutchins is president
and j. A. Balch is manager, has a pro-
gram that Wings to view a range Of
possibilities \hat will revolutionize
communication and the transmission
of intelligence in this ocean.
That the long-distance station for
this island is soon to become a fact
has on numerous previous occasions
been reported in The Star whose eX-
elusive reports of each advance toward
wireless success here have kept the
reading public interested
The site for this station has prac-
tically been settled, though at present
it is not given out by the company.
1t is upon this island. Expert Arthur
A. Isbells experiments have proven
that a long distance station here will
reach out in all directions and will
receive from all directions, successful
ly, with the proper instruments and
plant.
This station will be established be-
fore the big fleet arrives.
1t will probably be established be-
fore the big fleet leaves the Coast for
Honolulu.
Honolulu and the big fleet on the
Coast will be exchanging messages be-
fore the fleet starts for Honolulu.
Upon the installation Of the long dis
tance station the local office will be
open day and night, as is the cable
office.
The charge for messages will be
SL50 for messages of 10 words or less
and Is cents for every additional word
whether the message is from the ship
to shore or from shore to shore A
message received here for transmits
sion to one of the other islands will
be totalled Is cents extra per word.
