Road OommlCCee' flanB'
The road committee also had meet
ing yesterday, after the caucus had got
through with theirs and mapped out
plan of what they intended to DO
in the near future. One of the works
that is to be put in hand is the mat
ter of patching up the roads at Kalihi
and this will be proceeded with at as
early date as possible.
Then they propose to fix up good
pavement between the naval station
and Fort street, along the waterfront,
ana in connection with this they are
going to ask the legislature to appro-
pirate a sum sufficient to replace all
the water mains where the new pave
ments will go. These mains were the
first laid down in the city and they
think that it will be much better if
the legislature will see that new mains
are laid, before they 60 on with the
street improvements. They have also
another scheme in mind, and that is to
continue the block pavement from
Queen street to the Nuuanu stream,
along the waterfront.
In order that they win not have to
wait when the money becomes avail
able for further improvements, the
committee decided to call for tenders
for the putting down Of good perma-
nent pavements throughout the down
town streets. These viii not only be
called for here, but viii also be sent
over to. the mainland. This procedure
Is being followed for another reason
as well as that of being ready when
the money is. II has come 10 the ears
Of tin committee that some of the men

out there, in spite of the storm. A
faint reflection OF the street lights

I saw 1t was Mr.. HARRISON. and that
he had a double handful of half melt

quickly prevented my getting another
snow bath. My neck felt queer and

but 1t seems that relations between
Jim and Mr.. Harrison were rather
strained. Bella had left the roof and
Jim and the HARRISON man came face
to face in the door of the tent. Ac-
cording to Dal. little had been said,
but Jim. bound by his promise to me,
could not explain. and could only
stammer something about being an
old friend Of Miss Knowles. And Tom
had replied shortly that 1t was none
Of his business. but that there were
some things friendship hardly justi-
ned. and tried to pass Jim. Jim was
instantly enraged: He blocked the
door to the roof and demanded to
know what the other man meant.
There were two or three versions of
the answer he got. The general pur-
port was that Mr.. HARRISON had no
desire to explain further, and that
the situation was forced on him. But
II he insisted-when a man system
atically ignored and neglected his
wife for some one else, there were
communities where he would be tarred
and fathered.

FIRE ALARM SYSTEM.
Demonstration of the DEMO System TO
be Given in Aldermen'S Cham
Der this Afternoon.

The agent of the DEMO General
Electric Company, who has brought to
this city the apparatus of modern
fire alarm system, will demonstrate
its utility in the chamber of the Board
of Aldermen at four O'Clock this after
noon. AS has been stated, the test
will be made in the presence of city
officials, and officers and members of
the fire department aud others. The
DEMO system works automatically,
and upon an alarm Of FIRE be-
coming necessary bells are rung at
the engine and truck houses and
the section OF the city which
may need the services of the depart
ment is indicated. By this device there
can no confusion nor reason why the
engines and truck should proceed to
different quarters of the compass. Tho
DEMO system is regarded as up-to-date
inlevery particular, and its demonstra-
ton will be interesting to all who may
be present at the Aldermen's chamber
this afternoon. Alexandria has long
been IN need of modern fire alarm
system, and those now at the head of
the city government have ever realized
that such is an essential to every city.
