Mepito Hall BeitiM for
the Queen's Birthday Ball.
'NEATH FLAGS AND FESTOONS
British and Hawaiian Flags and
Stars and Stripes A Notable
Company in Attendance,
The promises of a real function in
the way of a ball in honor of the
birthday of Queen Victoria were more
than fulfilled. The dancing party at
Independence Park pavilion last night
was a beautiful affair. It was attend
ed by the leading people of the town
and was excellently managed. OJ
course all the prominent members of
the British community, headed by Mr.
Kenny, were present. The American
Minister was .there and so was Mr.
Schaefer, dean of the consular corps.
Officers from the U. S. Gunboat Ben-i
nington were on the floor. The Presi
dent and Mrs. Dole and Cabinet mem
bers and ladies were given places of
honor.
. Music for dancing was artistic and
tuneful and the floor was smooth. Hall
illumination was a feature. Electric
lamps and acetylene gas jets were used
and there was a flood of light. The
committee on decorations is certainly
to be complimented. The dressing of
the hall was to the end of a harmo
nious color effect and the general
scheme was decidedly clever and well
worked out. First pendant were signal
flags and banners. Then came fes
toons of greens. On the walls were
palms and ferns. The stage end of
the hall had a large portrait of Queen
Victoria between flags with the British
lion rampant on the Scotch color back
ground and the ' stars and stripes of
the United States. The handsome pro
file of the Queen was from the brush
of Frank Davey. At the other end o1
the hall were the Bnush and Hawai
ian flags and the crown and tha
"V R" in red incandescents. There
were British, Hawaiian and American
flags on the walls. In the dining room
three tables had been attractively;
dressed under the direction of Mr.
Krouse and the wall ornaments were
greens. The whole place was pretty.
The dance program was a long one
and the floor was always crowded.
Special numbers were the Highland
Fling and the Highland Schottische.
The supper provided was praised by
all. Dancing continued co quite "a lata
hour and all enjoyed the party. Be
sides being a social triumph, the ball
fund will have a residue that will
made a neat addition to the funds of
the British Benevolent Society.
This was the organization that made
the celebration such a marked success:

The article will be handled exclusive

tomer must have a license and will be

act upon suggestions from Senator
Baldwin and others. Marshal Brown
expresses the opinion that in its opera

profit now accruing to smugglers, as

DRIFTED 82 DAYS.
Schooner Without a Compass Ar-
rives From Tahiti.
John Charles Riig, a young French
man of Tahiti, arrived here from Ha
waii yesterday on the Mauna Loa,
with Walter M. Giffard. Riig has had
the experience of a life time. In a
little schooner he and his crew reach
ed Hookena, eighty-two days from
home. Forty-two days they were
without water, excepting what rain
could be caught in the sails.
Riig is the son of the owner of the
craft. The voyage was to be from Ta
hit! to Pehnryn. A few hours out
a terrific storm was encountered. The
schooner was driven before the wind
fnr hours. The comoass was lost.
Riig and others deemed it best to sim
ply go with wind and currents. They
suffered considerably, but reached Ha
waii without being compelled to re
sort to any extreme measures. The
schooner will be here tomorrow or the
next day. It carries the British flag.
Riig speaks only French. He was for
tunate in meeting Mr. Giffard on the
Mauna Loa and has been placed in
communication with both the French
and British representatives.
THE LAST CHANCE.
Only one more day! This will be the
last day of the sacrifice sale of Table
Linen, Napkins, Sheeting and Pillow
Casing, and to make it still more at
tractive, Towels will be added to the
list of Bargains.

A report current among the fancy

Saturday afternoon had shown a mile

DYNAMOS IN USE
Success With Electric Power for
PompE at f aianae.
WATER CIVES INITIAL FORCE
Cheap, Certain and Plentiful Is the
Energy The Plant Other Sugar
Estates Will Follow Example.
Judging from developments within
the past few months, it would seem
that electricity is destined to be the
chief power on the various sugar es
ates throughout Hawaii.
One of the neatest improvements
imaginable was recently installed at
Waianae plantation, on this Island.
Already its success has been demon
strated and it is also known that the
plant, which cost in the neighborhood
of $12,000, will pay for itself in a little
more than a year's time.
David Center, the popular manager
of Waianae, is responsible for all this.
While he was positive that the scheme
was feasible, this was not the case
with the owners of the plantation.
However, they had the greatest con
fidence in Mr. Center, and allowed him
every latitude in making the experi
ment. Mr. Center, with a force of workmen,
went high up in the Waianae moun
tains where they drove a tunnel for,
a distance of 450 feet. A large volumd
of water issued from this hole, which
was carried in a flume for a distance!
of nineteen hundred feet, to the sum
mit of a lofty hill. Here the waten
was turned into a large tank, at the
bottom of which is connected a 12-
inch pipe. This pipe leads down the
steep Incline of the hill to the power
house. The water has drop of 750 feet.
being driven through a nozzle, two and
one-half inches in diameter.
At the present time a dynamo with
a capacity of one hundred and fifty
hnrsp nower is in operation. There Is
still space for a similar dynamo, which
will give a total capacity of 300 horse
i 1 A
power. The power is transmitteo
from the dynamo house, along wires.
to the pumping plant, three miles dis
tant. It requires but 75 horse powTer
to operate the pump. Only three per
cent of the power is lost in the trans
mission.
The pump was a steam one. In mak
ing the change the steam pistons and
valves were removed. It was also
necessary to change the fly wheel-to
a rope pulley which is attached to a
counter shaft that is driven by the
electric motor.
McCandless Brothers are now en
gaged in boring more wells on Waia
nae plantation. When they have ac
complished this, Manager Center will
put more land under cane cultivation.
An electric plant was installed on
Olowalu plantation last July. It has
done effective service and up to date
has not cost fifty cents for repairs.
The plant has 100-horse power and Is
managed by two Japanese, one at the
mill and one at the pump.
Proprietor August Dreier of Eleele
plantation on Kauai, will introduce
electricity on his place, not only for
his pumps but for an electric railway
