$4,000 DAMAGE
FROM LIVE WIRE

Ralph Girdler, by his father and
natural guardian, Charles Girdler, yes
terday began suit in the circuit court
against the Hawaiian Electric Company.
for $4,000 damages for the loss of the
thumb and three fingers of one of his
hands, due to contact with live wire
of the Hawaiian Electric Company.
The plaintiff is twelve years old. On
November Is last year he left his home
at Keeaumoku and Dominis street to
go to Wilder avenue to meet his father.
who was coming home on a Punahou
car. This was about 5 clock in the
afternoon. Earner in the day an alga-
roba tree in the yard next door to
where the Girdlers live had been blown
down and carried the electric light wire
with it. In going past this in some
way young Girdler's hand came in con-
tact with the live wire, and he could
not let go of it. A. Gartley, manager
for the Hawaiian Electric Company,
was going past the place at the time.
Miss Mist, who was in the automobile
with Mr.. Gartley, called his attention
to the fact that the boys hand seemed
to be smoking. Realizing instantly
what was the matter, Mr.. Gartley went
at once to the boys assistance, and
with an umbrella got the wire out of
contact with the bov hand. The boy
then fell down UNCONSCIOUS, and Mr.
Gartley at once began the necessary
manipulations to restore respiration.
The boy was taken to Miss Johnson's
sanatorium, where it was found that
parts of two OF his fingers had been
burned off, Thew had to be further
amputated in order that the ends of
the bones might be covered with flesh.

Japanese, but it is only temporary; it
will gradually die out and will be set
tied without difficulty. In time even
the labor element in America will get
over its apprehension and will admit
that the japanese are not a dangerous
element. In the meantime the yellow
journals are responsible for keeping
alive the agitation"
But with all his peaceful talk, Count
Okuma holds that a Japanese man is
the equal of any man, and that the
dignity of the nation requires that he
be so treated. If any one dares to
question him, he Will turn to that old
document which set his soul on fire
fifty years ago and quote: I'VE hold
these truths to be self evident, that
all men are created equal; that they
are endowed by their Creator with GER
tain unalienable rights; that among
these are Life, Liberty and the pur-
suit of Happiness

RARE DOCUMENT
IN THE ARCHIVES

An interesting document was lately
discovered, among the archives of the
ole Foreign Office, by Mr.. Lydecker
the Secretary of the Archives Commis-
sion 1t is an account of the last i'll
ness and death of Kinau, whose official
title was Kaahumanu II. 1t is a manu-
script in the Hawaiian language on
old-fashioned folio paper, in a very
legible, but not very clerkly, hand. 1t
is anonymous, but the fact that it was
preserved among the Foreign Office
documents would indicate that it was
either because the writer was some one
having intimate knowledge of the facts
or some one whose rank gave authority
to what was written, or, perhaps, for
both reasons. AS to the statements in
the account, on which there is other
evidence, they are fully borne out, and
it gives intimate and family details of
the great Premier's end not preserved
elsewhere.
A, translation of the manuscript is as
followsa
Honolulu, April 5, 1889: A word as
to the illness and death Of Kaahu-
manu- II:
On the Goth of March she took sick
with the aipuu (mumps),, some disease
of the neck; and from that day to the
Goth she was sick with this disease of
the neck (mumps) seven days.
On the 9th she caught another kind
of disease called poohuai (headache).
For two days and half her body was,
attacked by this disease.
On the Both of March, at the hour
of six in the morning, she was attack
ed with lolo (apoplexy); on this same
day the boat Hooikaika left for Waui
conveying the tidings to her half-sis-
ter and her beloved nephew.
On the first Of April at the hour of
nine that night her half-sister, and
nephew, Lunalilo, arrived, together
with Kanaina, Kekanonohi, Kahekili,
and Lot her son. She then recognized
all of them. She had not tasted food
for three days. On the 4th of April at
the hour of eight in the morning, her
beloved half brother, Kahehameha III,
arrived, who found her still breathing,
but she was not able to recognize him.
She was, however, holding on to the
reins of government until the arrival
of her beloved brother, when she could
leave the same to him, who was the
real head of the government, before
going on her journey. From the hour
of eight in the morning, at which hour
her beloved brother arrived, until ten
minutes after half-past twelve, just
before one o'clock, she went home to
her Father, who sent her here to this
earth; this being the 4th of April.

cHAMBERLA1N's PAIN BALM.

You will hunt a good while before
you find a liniment that is equal to
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. In cases of
rheumatism and sciatica it relieves
the intense pain and makes sleep and
rest possible. Soreness of the muscles,
swellings and lameness are quickly re-
lieved by it, and for the treatment of
cuts and bruises there is nothing bet
ter. For sale by Benson, Smith & Co.,

Fur TrimminnS.

Fur as a trimming on dressy wraps
of cloth, silk or satin or lace is beauti-
full. For this use the darker sables
and seals are chosen, these contrast
ing artistically with the faint pinks.
delicate blues and soft, creamy whites
of the evening wraps and gowns. The
delicate toning of the material brings
out all the richness of the fur, while
the fur enriches the material immeas-
urably. No great amount, however, is
employed for the reason that all tend
ency to weight is obviated as much
as possible, in order to protect the per-
ishable laces, chitfons and sDangIed
nets of the gowns over which the
elaborate evening coat is worn. When
the fur and fuT-lined coat is a part of
the evening toilette a soft gauzy scarf
is sWathed around the shoulders be-
fore the coat is slipped on. This keeps
the weight of the outer garment off
the shoulders and prevents the posi-
bility Of mussing fluffy friIls and ia
bots of laces, chiffon and still more
diaphanOus malinettes which so eiec-
lively trim evening gowns this winter.

AS the Enuineer EXPLAINED 1t,

1t is said that unless II can impart
information one does not really pos
sess it. The late Prof. Angelo Heilprfn
used to tell a story, says the Washing
ton Star, illustrative of this point. The
professor himself had a most learned
and lucid mind. Not only could he
master a question; he could lay it so
clearly before you that you became
master of it, too.
Two commercial travellers on the
way from Reading to Philadelphia
once got into an argument over the ac-
ton of the brake.
It's the imitation of the tube that
stops the train," declared the first
traveller.
Wrong, wrong!" shouted the Sec
ond. Its the output of the exhaus-
ton"
So they wrangled for an hour. Then,
when the train arrived in Philadelphia,
they agreed to submit the matter for
settlement to the engineer. That gen
tleman, leaning condescendingly from
the window of his cab, listened with
an attentive frown to the two travel
ers' statement of their argument.
Then he smiled, shook his head, and
said:
well, gents. ye're both wrong about
the workin' of the vacuum brake.
Yet it's very simple and easy to I'M
.derstand. When we want to stop the
train we just turn this ere tap, and
then we fill the pipe with vacuum"

Ceremony of Calling in Spain.

Calling in Spain bristles with cere,
mony. When a first visit is paid, the
hostess says at parting: Your honor
has taken possession of your house,
for all l have is yours"
If anything during the call is adj
mired, the remark follows at once:
1T is at your disposal"
The answer to which must be: Il
hope my hostess will enjoy it for many
years."
When means allow of it, a woman
has her box at the theater. In this
the scene between the acts often re-
sembles an "at home" while at the
end of the play visiting is carried on
for an hour or more while the audi
ence is nominally awaiting its car
riages.
A hardship in a Spanish woman's
life is the long period of mourning
into which she is plunged for even
quite distant relatives. For a cousin,
perhaps but once, and who has
died a hundred miles away, black is
worn for a year, during which time all
visiting is stopped, the piano is locked
and NJ one looks out of the window.

BELTS IN PATENT LEATHER.
Stylish Fashion Has Again Come Into
Popular Favor.

Patent leather belts have come into
their W again. They are very
stylish OF all cloth suits. They are
very narrow, the stiff ones running
only an inch wide, but the more fash
ionable ones are in soft leather that
fit into the figure and curve in and
out at the waist line. These are ok
D%ensive, but they wear well and are
very superior to the stiff ones in
shape and in curve.
With the stiff oId-fashioned belt
there is always the trouble of having
it ride up above the skirt belt. 1t Isl
too unwieldy to go down over it, and
no matter how high the skirt Isl
hooked up on the waist, the belt rides
that much higher.
These belts do not have fancy
buckles or even the broad gilt buckle
used IN the soft suede belts, but are
fastened through plain black ones COW
cred with the kid.
The %undressed kid ones are exceed
ingly stylish and come in every color
to tone into the skirt. The buckles
these are narrow and made of gilt
or silver, but without jewels.

Doing AWAY with Wrinkles.

A woman-one kind of woman, that
is-will resort to almost anything to
blot off her face the friendly wrinkles
etched by time and experience. The
latest device for making the skin of a
mature dame smooth and peachy as an
infants is a kind of head girdle made
of soft satin. This is put on over the
face, and is cleverly constructed so
that the wrinkles are smoothed out
and the skin of the face firmly held
from slipping into creases again. Of
course one a this interesting ap-
paratus only at night.

War Settlement Warrant

A curiosity in the form of a "war
settlement warrant was issued re-
Gently to John L. Curtain of Bellefont,
Pa, for the sum of 81 cents. 1t is
now about A years since Gen. Curtin
was mustered out of the service, and
in all these years he never dreamed
that he had any such claim against the
United States government. 1t appears
that in calculating the time of his en-
listment an error was made, and this
was just recently discovered. The
number of the order is 16,021, which
indicates that there were a few claims
paid before this one.

TO TIGHTEN NORTH ROOM.
Various Devices by Which Apartment
May Be Improved.

No n wants a gloomy room, but
what to do with one facing north is
often q difficult problem.
Some people do without curtains to
allow all the light possible to come
into the room; but it is not so much
light that n needs as sunshine, and
when this cannot be had, one must
make it, II rather, get the effect of it.
Try having it papered with a soft vel
low paper. A good plan is to have
q light yellow on the walls as far
as the picture mOlding, and q lighter
shade, almost cream, above this and
on the ceiling. Then yellow silk sash
curtains pulled back tend to make
a room appear sunny, says Home
Chat.
Brass can make a wonderful differ
ence to a dreary room. A large
jardiniere, with a plant in it, placed
in a dark corner, will tighten up the
corner marvelOusIy. Brass fireirons
too, will give a CHEEKY reflection, even
candlesticks help, and little trays and
bowls, be they ever so small. The i'm
pOrtance of brass in a sunless room
cannot be too strongly emphasized.
Mirrors brighten it up, and so do some
pictures with well polished glasses
and gilded frames.

chauffeurs of the Eighteenth Century.
In the last decade of the eighteenth
century a band of French brigands
fourished in and about the forest of
La Muette, close to Mereville. To
these "Pingres," as they called them
selves, the common people gave an
other name. All over France they
were known as the "chauffeurs," from
their use of fire, applied to the feet of
their victims who would not tell where
their money was hidden.

which are the same on both sides of

made about II inches wide and 8
