of those who may admit the quantita-

MAY BE MINISTER PANGB0RN.
His Appointment 10 the Hawaiian
Island spoken or

Vice-President-elect Carrot A. Hobart is
much interested in the appointment of
Major 2. K. Pangborn Of this city as min
lister to the Hawaiian Islands, n the
dicky birds say that the brilliant ex-edi-
tor will be appointed by President McKiu-
ley. There are others who would like TO
see the Major Uncle Sans representative
at Honolulu, and it must be gratifying TO
him to know that they are the people
of Hawaii. When "a few months ago
Major Pangborn visited the islands he
at once became a great favorite, and was
treated with great distinction. He was
asked to max the Fourth Of July Grafton
last year and his eloquence charmed his
audience.
The Majors appointment, may say,
would be eminently fitting. He has done
much for the Republican party fighting
under Lincoln and lately taking an active
part in the recent campaign. Besides he
has paid close attention to the Hawaiian
Islands, and it is safe to say that if he
is appointed it o be long before the
Stars and Stripes loaf over the Gems of
the Pacific" as the islands are appro-
priately termed.

7 phone message from the Paterson au-
thorities requesting that three men who

returned with an extra horse they drove
off and abandoned the sick animal IN a
shed.
State Officer A. w. Bishop of the 8. =.

were dispatched after the other men, but
they were not caught. Bishop had war
