It looked llko suro death to the child, but luckily It escaped Injury. During Chinese New Year tho plan tatlon Chinamen wero caught ganv bllng. They suspected ono of their number as being tho Informer, so a hundred or more of his countrymen chased him down tho street with tho Intention of doing him up. Ho was Just saved In time by the pollco and a few outsiders. Puna plantation Is short of laborers. The Japanese at Olaa havo formed a society and Intend to ask for $1.25 per day.

Inspector Hasson goes to Inspect tho works and advise the company regard ing the Installation before It proceeds so far that mistakes would bo expen sive to remedy. Uefore his departure Mr. Hasson told a Ilullctln reporter a few things about the wretched tangle of electric wires he hns to endeavor to straighten out In Honolulu. Within the distance ot the single block on Ilcthcl, between King and Hotel streets, tho Inspector found batched outside wiring enough to cov er two foolscap pages of tjpewrltlng In the description Thero would be such a death-dealing combination, for Instance, as an elec tric light wire In contact with a guy line nnd grounding through the me dium ot nn Iron root, Mr Hasson, who was met at King and Alakea streets, pointed to an In describable maze of all sorts ot wires 1 on tho corner occupied by the Call , lornla Krult Market, saying he had asked the new manager of the Mutual Telephone Company how he could ex pect to perfect his service with such messes as that Indicated. Tho Inspector spoke also of the thoughtless arrangement of wires serv ing such a large block as the Camp bell, with scores of Individual wires leading Into the offices of subscribers. A common-sense Idea ot treating such n block would be to lead a cable along tho rear, from which tho subscribers I could bo served with individual wires , out of sight ot the Btrcet. System ot this kind would go far toward obviat ing both danger and loss In the caso of fire, as there would bo an absence of wires In front to Impede the fire men and endanger their lives from deadly currents, or to be cut nnd brok en nwny by them to tho great damage of the different electric systems. !
