Their Use on the Potomac Is In.
creasing Rapidly.

The use of power boats as tenders to
vessels employed in running wood, lum-
Der, oysters and other commodities from

EngIishWomen's Craze Z
for CHASTITY Mascots
Special Correspondence Of The Star.

LONDON, November o., 1910.
KER RS. WILLIAM NORrIIRoP Nc
I'VE MILAN is in a great measure
responsible for the craze which
now prevails for sruesome objects as
mascots. She vows she would rather
part with her jewel case, her tiger
skins or her priceless brie-a-brae than
with her CHASTITY mementoes from the
SHAMELESS OF Benin. These include dag
gers, instruments of torture, and, most
weird Of all, the skull of Benin chief,
which has prominent position over
the writing table in her boudoir. II
take it everywhere with me-" she says.
Another strange mascot of hers is the
blood-stained tusk Of an elephant When
Col. Roosevelt visited London this year
he brought the McMilIans several
trophies of the chase obtained during
his expedition in Africa. One they
especially prize is the skin Of a puff
adder, which they have had mounted
into a writing table lamp. Mrs. Mcmillan
laughingly says that her husband has
signed beneath the rays of this lamp
some most important documents, which
have resulted in big financial successes
for him. though" she adds, "of course
he won't acknowledge that the lamp has
ally 'itiA6 ~ say ~ H. Which, ID just IIAe d
man."
The late Consuelo. Duchess Of Manches-
ter, had some strange mementoes which
she believed were talismans Of good
fortune. The governor of the jail In
which the notorious Mrs. Dyer was i'm
priSoned, and eventually executed gave
her a prayer book which the murderess
used while under sentence Of death. This
the duchess treasured possibly as an
emblem of the repentance Of the crimi-
nal At any rate, the duchess consid-
cred that 1t brought her happiness For
years the book rested on table in her
bedroom. King Edward was told by
some mutual friend of this weird object
and was annoyed with the duchess for
polite way, however. as was her wont.
gave his majesty to understand that she
was not to be interfered with in regard
to her tastes, and up to the time Of her
death the book stood in It's accustomed
position. Afterward 1t and q few similar
objects were promptly destroyed by her
daughter in-law. the duchess. who has a
wholesome horror OF anything Of the
gruesome order.
Among the most valued possessions OF
Mrs Brown Potter Is richly ornament
ed silver amulet. which was worn by an
Indian chief who committed suicide be-
cause he had given offense to his deity.
Since it came into her possession Mrs.
Brown Potter vows her fortunes have
occasions she has been offered consid-
cradle prices for this CHASTITY object.
but she declines emphaticalIy to part
with it.

HIS FEARS REALIZED.
Young Man With Premonitions Of
Early Death Has Fatal Fall.

NEW YORK, December 3-For the
reason that both his brother and sister
had died just as each was approaching
the age of seventeen, John Smyth, a
young resident Of the upper East Side,

fell eight stories through the elevator
shaft of a new building at Broadway and
God street. and died as the last rites of
the church were being administered to
him.

ELECTRIC LIGHTING

LlHuE, Kauan, Jan. 15.-The ma
chinery for the new unit for the
Wainiha plant Of the Kauai Electric
Company has all been ordered and
VIII be placed in position by next
May or June, In time for the dry
season, when the water Is most ur-
gently needed on McBryde planta-
ton. When this third unit, which
will increase the power of the plant
by one-half, is In operation, II is ex-
pected that the additional water to
be pumped will supply the present
deficiency which exists on the PLAN
tation. and there will be water
enough. with the other improve
ments which are now in process of
construction, to supply the whole
plantation.
In order to convey the heavy ma
chinery up Wainiha Valley to the
power-house. 1T will be necessary to
build railroad up the two miles
from the bay where II will be landed
by the steamer. and the contract for
the construction of this line has been
given to James Lota of Hanalei.
The machinery will be an exact
duplication OF one-half of the present
plant.
A new pump for McBrydc planta-
ton Is to be placed In Hanapepe Val
ley, not verYfar from Pump 3, the
present mauka pump. and this will
be expected to give the additional
water which will he pumped out by
the Increased power. The water is
now being developed by means of
tunnels which are being run into the
sides of the valley. which have open
cd up some good subtcrranean
streams already.
In addition to this work, four new
reservoirs are being constructed.
which will make large increase in
the storage capacity. OF the planta-
ton when they are finished. They
are to be In the hilly country back
OF Kukuiula harbor and just makai
OF the government road from Koloa
to Waimea.
A. Grant. the representative of the
Westinghouse Electric Company. who
has been in charge of the plant for
several months, will remain only
long enough to see the new unit In
active and successful operation and
will then return again to his head
quarters In the East.--Garden Is
land.

HEAR ."DINAH" TONIGHT.

II Is difficult for those who per-
sonally know Miss Biggart to sepa-
rate her from "Dinah the Preacher, E"
In George Eliot's book adam Bede. "
Her forceful delineration of that par
ticular character has made her
known on two continents. and wher-
ever she has appeared she has been
received with the greatest satisfac-
ton by the large audiences who hear
her. Tonight at the Hawaiian Opera
House she will make her initial bow
to Honolulu audience, outside II
church. Miss Bisgart Is one of the
few great women lecturers making Il
success. Her appearance Is pleasing,
for while she has stepped into mans
realm, to a certain extent, she has
none OF the manishness which some
In her profession affect. She is
forc.iul and refined; a good reader
possessing a power to follow in dia-
lect the writings of one of the
worlds greatest novelists. The house
should be crowded, for a portion of
the proceeds are to be handed to the
central committee of the Anti-Tuber-
culosis League. Seats are on sale at
the Bergstrom Music Co., Odd Fell
lows building, Fort street.
