A large number of us may not know
exactly how to conduct ourselves
when we ar introduced to Halley's
comet, on or about May 18 of the pre-
sent year Only a few of us can re-
member having met the comet before,
and then we were not within speaking
d stance of it. For that reason a few
quiet words of instructions on how to
behave may not be amiss.
1t is generally understood that we
shall be swinging along through space
at the rate of $4,000 miles an hour,
nonchalantly killing time when the
boss is not looking and with an ap-
parently clear road ahead. Suddenly
the tail of the comet will be switched
against us, going almost an opposite
direction at the rate of 100000 miles
an hour.
AS it Is generally conceded to be
impossible for the earth to stop sud
denly without shaking us up more
than we should like, we shall plunge
through the luminous haze at the rate
Of 10000 miles an hour Scientihcial-
ly speaking, it will be a Joy ride that
should satisfy even those who have
speed mania in it's most virulent and
indecent form.
Very few OF us have been able to
enjoy ride at that speed and con-
tinue 1t very long. Only those who
are liberal enough to invite the chauf-
feur in to take one with them every
time the car stops and then tell him
to cut her loose when they strike a
level stretch of road know anything
about the sensation of going fast
Usually they land against a telegraph
pole or go over an enbanI1ment, but
there will be no danger of such an
accident when We all go together for
the spin in May.
This is going to DC one OF the most
inexpensive and democratic Joy rides
we have ever taken. The poorest Of
us will be able to go right along with
the rich, and it is not going TO cost
us anything. For more than three
hours we may reflect that we are lay
ing it across the speed record of all
those who have tried It at Ormond
or elsewhere.
Scientists tell us we should be
prepared for strange sights during the
time we are whizzing through the tail
of the comet, Strange sights are not

NEW TELEPHONES
ORDERED BY CABLE.

At a meeting of the Mutual Tele-
phone Company held yesterday after
noon it was decided to cable for COM
plete appliances for 500 new tele-
phones.
The total number now in hand is
1900, which is very near the number
of assured subscribers 1t is the in
tention to have sufficient extra tele-
phones on hand to meet any and
all emergencies which may arise;
hence the rush order.
1t is not the intention to make any
radical advances in the rates for
telephones but an adjustment of rates
will be made which will be more
equitable and satisfactory to sub
ssrbers, and at the same time will
net little more to the company from
the system as whole For instance,
the charge for country line telephones
will probably remain at $3.50, but
there may be a charge OF ten cents
and up prescrreG for use by outside
parties. The object of this is not only
to bring the country lines upon
more satisfactory financial basis, but
to eliminate clogging of the service,
which the free system frequently en-
tails.
The changes in city rates Gf any
are finally decided upon will be in
the direction of scheme for more
nearly charging in proportion to ser
vice rendered.
1t is believed that the new arrange
ment when fully understood will be
more satisfactory to the business and.

A theory advanced recently is that
the comets head is simply an enorm-

comets tail is gas, we are assured
that it will not harm us. By that time
a great many of us shall have passed
through political campaigns in the CT

immune.
Scientists also assure us that the
danger Of being thrown off the earth
while it is whirling along is very
slight. If we are careful during the
three hours and do not make too
many efforts to add joy to the ride
we should be able to hold on. A safe
way will be to hold to the chair in

however, sales of GO, so, 10, 10 and so
shares were made at S36.125, and
this morning 55, 100 and shares
changed hands at the same. The in
teresting feature was that at the close
$36.125 was freely bid for more, but
holders had advanced their figures to
$36.25.
One sale of Waialua-five shares
was made at $134.50 and the market
was weak. On the board this morn
ing 1884 was bid and $135 asked.
Pioneer was weak, one sale of 25
shares being made at 1925, This
morning there seemed to be a slight
rally (but at low figures), $2255O be-
ing bid and 1929 asked.
One sale of 100 shares McBryde
was reported at Sc.
! Honokaa was in demand on the
street at the quotations, sales of o.

Later however, more was offered al
the same, but bidding had ceased al

Quotations of interest, without sales
were: Eva $94 bid and S34.25 asked;

CLEWS ADVANCES
A HOPEFUL VIEW

NEW YORK, April 9.-The spring
seasons tendency on the Stock Ex-
change should soon turn toward in
creased confidence, hence improve
ment. The first of April was passed
with scarcely a ripple in the money
market, and this in spite of unusuai
strain in London. Domestic exchanges
are already turning in favor of New
movement will be in favor of this
center; the ultimate result being cas-
Ter money rates until crop demands
begin to, assert themselves. ThI
only offset to easy money is the prob
ability of considerable gold exports.
London is undergoing a period Of un-
usual monetary tension owing to COM
plications arising from the British
Budget, and an extraordinary specu
lation in Rubber shares. Danger
signals have already been hoisted in
\ London, and the brakes are being
steadily applied. The Bank of Eng
land reserve is much in need of re-
plenishing; Paris is unwilling to part
with gold, and the Bank is securing
its supply from other sources. If the
bank rate is advanced it would create
no surprise, the reserve having drop
ped below 40 per cent, compared with
Al. 20 per cent year ago and 81. 2S
per cent two years ago.; the conse-
uuence being that much Of the de-
mand falls upon New York. For
tunately, we are well able to meet
the gold, and we can readily spare
$25,OOO,OOO or $3O,OOO,OOO, which it is
expected London will require. If
the effiux does not run to excess it
will be beneficial, inasmuch at it will
strengthen London, and place gold
where it will do it's work most effec-
lively.
Next to the improvement in Local
monetary conditions the outlook fol
the crops is the most encouraging fac
tor. There is no doubt that the com.
ing season will witness a pheno-
menally large acreage Of cotton ant

must inevitably stimulate the farmel
