MIR. zTMMERLEEs APPOINTMENT.

The appointment of Mr.. Zimmerlee to a clerk
ship in the Tax Board created some surprise 10
political circles last night. An at ion
into the causes which led up to it, however,
disclose the fact that the Tax Commissioner
know their own business better than it can be
told them. The fact is that the Tax Commits
sioners agreed a month ago to have the tax
books ready for confirmation BY next Monday
evening. Mcnamara, the bounced clerk, was
more trouble to the hoard than good. His
eccentricities could be tolerated no longer than
they were forced to secure a cierk whose pay
would be guaranteed. Mayor Wanser had to be
consulted. AS a result Zimmerlee was ap-
polluted. He ID a good clerk aud the tax book
will be completed By Monday. On Monday
evening the Board of Finance will hold q special
meeting and confirm the books and on Tuesday
the work Of making out tax bills will be begun.

Frozen Facts of the Trolley Service.
Yesterday, we suggested co Mr..
David Young that he take a walk on
Grand street, some evening, and,
watch in hand, size up the sort of
service his company is giving to the
residents of Greenville and South
Bergen. Lest he should not care to
stand ON a crossing for half an hour,
this chilly weather, as hundreds of
the patrons of his cars have to do,
we today furnish him with the very
facts he would ascertain if he made a
personal investigation.
Last evening, four reporters of THE
JERSEY CRY NEWS were stationed
at different points on the Grand
street line. They were instructed to
make an absolute record of the cars
passed moving from the ferry, be-
tween the hours of a quarter to six
and seven, with careful observations
as to their condition in respect to
crowding. Every man was most
stringently enjoined to avoid exagger-
alton of any sort. Every possible
care was taken to prevent injustice DR.
Misrepresentation of any sort, kind
or description. II the facts proved to
be favorable to the company, the re-
porters were ordered to give the com
pany the full benefit Of the truth.
The result Of this test is given in
our news columns. It is given with
out color Or prejudice. We present
an array of cold, hard facts that there
is no escaping from The record of
time is absolute and the description
of the state of the cars is we'll within
the truth. The whole array of statis-
tics is very much at the service of Mr..
Young and his company. If they did
not already know how they were
meeting the demands Of the public,
they know it now. We assume that
they mean to carry ont their promises
and give sufficient accommodation.
They will now perceive that there is
n otime to be lost in getting to work.

Talking Machine"-Italian Opera
for Ten Cents.

The residents of Honolulu have had
opportunity in the past, by the enterprise
of Mr.. c. Stoeckle to become very familiar
with the practical working of the wonder
full Photograph, and almost every man,
woman and child in the city, has heard
of the peculiar powers of the Talking
Machine" The public concert given by
Mr.. Stoeckle in the Y. NJ. G. A. Hall
here, about one year ago, and at which
the Photograph itself, alone, furnished
the speeches, vocal and instrumental
music, etc, etc., to large and delighted
audience, is remembered to this day, and
with both interest and pleasure. After
series of tours over and around the ISLANDS
of Hawaii, Maui and Kauai, where the
wizard instrument has delighted and
mystified the residents of those districts,
Mr.. Stoeckle again returns to Honolulu
with his wonderful instrument, intending
to remain for short time. The re-
pertoire of the Talking Machine" has
been greatly added to by the importation
of large number OF new records for pro-
duction by the instrument. The new addi-
tons consist of % choice selections from
celebrated Italian and other operas, seye-
raj having been vocalized by the famous
prima donnas Adelina Patti. Clara Louise
Kellogg and Anne Louise Carey (2) new
miscellaneous vocal selections of well
known Eastern vocalists, both comic and
sentimental; 81 new duets, including an
artistic rendering of the famous Liar
board Watch" CA new instrumental
selections both band, orchestral and solos
from the performances of Gilmore's and
other noted bands, celebrated orchestras
and artist soloists; (5) fresh, funny dia-
logues and recitations all in all making
an olio of mirth. music a1d ministrelsy
which should please any fancy. There
are also national and local airs in Ger
man, French, Spanish, Italian, Portu-
guese, japanese, Chinese and Hawaiian
which have been specially recorded by
Mr.. Stoeckle and are well reproduced by

FROM GRAVE TO GAY.
(From the Washington Star

The spelling reformers will be
pardoned if they protest against
including the Hawaiian profusion
of vowels in the Sandwich Island
annexation.
The suggestions as to costume
that come in articles on Hawaii in
dictate that annexation would be
something of an offset to the crino-
line invasion that is imminent.
England appears to be impressed
with a feeling that she has trouble
enough on her hands without wor-
rying in respect to Hawaii.
If Hawaii would only annex the
United States we might hope to
rent telephones for twenty-four dol
lars year, as do the people of Ho-
nolulu.
Canada is doubtless keeping her
eye on Hawaii to see just how an
nexation is accomplished.
The Hawaiian queen was about
to flood her country with small
coin when she was deposed. 1t
was case of putting pennies in the
slot and getting a revolution.
For neatness and dispatch in rev.
dictionary matters Hawaii can give
the southern republics points.
Scientific investigators who have
been worrying over the ancestry of
the native Hawaiians-alleged to
be Aryan, but probably Malayan-
will be surprised to learn that the
males at least are really British.
An esteemed contemporary says
that ''the men dress in duck trou-
sers and shirts. They are imported
from England and are very cheap"

Court "A Little Light on PO-
Gtical History.

A case has just reached its final
stage in the Circuit Court which
throws a good deal of light on some
secret chapters of Hawaiian politi-
cal history. Last October Hon. J.
s. Walker sued A. P. Peterson and
eight others for non-payment of a
note of $2500.00, made by them to
J. S. Bowler, as trustee for j. S.
Walker. The defendants filed a
general denial to the allegations of
the petitions, but they failed to do
SO within the statutory period, and
on motion of plaintiffs counsel the
answer has been stricken from the
the record. Mr.. Creighton, coun-
sci for the defendants, has noted
exceptions.
The following is copy of the
promissory note on which the ac-
ton is founded:
HONOLULU, II l., Oct 26, 81.
$2500OO.
Six months after date, for value
received, we jointly promise to pay
to the order of John F. Bowler,
Trustee, the sum of S250000, with
interest at the rate of l per cent. per
month, upon the payment of which
said Bowler is to assign to US the
mortgage upon the "Eiele" news
