TELEPHONE TALK
Supt. John Cassidy Tells
of His Trip.
Promises a New Switch Board. More ocera-
tors. Better Communication and In
derground Wires.

superintendent John Cassidy of the
Mutual Telephone Company arrived by
the Rio Janeiro yesterday after a two
months business trip TO the States.
My trip was successful in every
way" he said yesterday afternoon II
went right through 10 New York and
Boston and investigated thoroughly
everything connected with telephones
The object of my trip was TO find
the best switchboard for our needs and
the cost of installing it, In my report
TO the directors | shall recommend the
adoption OF one that is far and away
ahead of anything else. Its distin-
gushing feature is what is called CEN
trail energy, whereby not the least pow
er is lost. The manufacturers not only
make the switchboards but use them as
well, inasmuch as they control large
telephone systems. In this way they
are better prepared TO deal with in
tending buyers than other firms who
only manufacture and do not use their
sure guarantees where others hes
Iitate.

switchboard Honolulu's telephone sys-

capped at this particular point We
need more operators at the switch
board, but heretofore there has not
telephones has increased so rapidly
that it has outgrown the system We
now have. The one in contemplation
will be adaptable to all needs and it's
accommodations may be increased at
will. The expense will be quite heavy.
but it seems good policy 10 install it
now as it will have TO come some time
The extent to which the telephone
service is being increased. and the ra-
pidly increasing distances over which
can be maintained in the
States is amazing. Why. just before
leaving for home l was in Seattle and

party on the other end of the line was
in San Francisco. 100 miles away.
After getting us connected the oper-
ator gave the word. l. heard a click.
The chronograph. the telephone stop
watch, had started. They charge by
the fifteen seconds and it is wonderful
the amount of business that a person
can do in that quarter of a minute
when he knows the 'stopwatch" is on
him. Underground lines are becoming
general because the companies find
that in addition to the Improvement in
the service there lis a lessening in the
expense This system will be intro
duced in Honolulu before great while.
Everything points to the establish
ment of first class telephone commun-
ication in this city.

Those "holier than thou" Dem
ocrats remind us very much of
the church who engaged in the
election Of a pastor; it was Bap
fist church, for instance, and there
were two candidates before the
body. The contest was a hot and
bitter one. and when the result
was reached the losing side in their
anger, aud for revenge sake, leave
the church Of their choice and join
in with another whose principles
they have denounced all their days.
We do really wish sensible men
would cease to follow the wild and
defeated party fanatics.

SCENE.

"a crisp morning. Carriage
with spinning wheels, whose
spokes glisten like splinters Of the
sun. Roam horse, flecked with
foam, bending into the bit, his
polished feet drumming the pave
ment in challenge of any horse
that thinks he can go as fast.
Two boys running to get on the
back Of the carriage. One Of
them quick spring succeeds. The
other leaps, but fails and falls.
No sooner has he struck the
ground than he shouts to the
driver of the carriage, "Cut be-
hind" The driver was an old
man; in the corner of his mouth
was smile, which was always as
ready to play as kitten that
watches for some one with a
string to offer the slightest induce
ment. He heard the shout in the
rear, and said: Good morning,
my son. That is right; climb
over and sit by me. Here are
the reigns; take hold and drive. -
T. De Witt Talmage.
There was a three cornered
race for the Democratic nomina-
ton for Governor of Kentucky.
They all followed the roam horse
as he sped along toward the day
Of the convention. The youngest
Of the three in the race was far in
the rear but had plenty of wind
left, while his opponents had but
little, and as they neared the We
hicle he gained rapidly, but still
there was little hope Of him beat
ing out his aged and tried adver-
saries.
Hurrah. on the home stretch he
IS gaming easily on the one'legged
statesman; at the twenty-ffth
pole passes him and now has all
sails set for the leader. There is
a mighty leap and the young man
reaches the conveyance only a |
few PAGES ahead. And do the
men he has defeated in the race
cry out, Cut behind. No,
but their supporters who were to
gain some selfish end by their vic
tory did. But then the old !
man-the people of Kentucky
will say in November, my son,
you have made a noble race; you
will make a good reinsman, take
hold Of the reins and hold steady |
the affairs Of the State for the
next four years. "

FIVE HOURS PIANO PRACTICE.
The Famous Leschetizky Says That
Should Be the Maximum.

As to the number of hours that
should be spent in daily practice.
Leschetizky, the famous Vienna
teacher, and the instructor of Pade-
dewski, says it depends very much
upon the pupils power of concentrate
ing his mind upon what his fingers are
doing-five hours he would call a
maximum, and less is better. Don't
practice so many hours" he is always
saying, "but use your brain more
while you are practicing. Learn to
listen to what you are playing-to
hstenl How few there are who know
how to listen~ And then, to illus
trate his meaning, he will strike two
notes in succession, say G and D, and
show what changes and standings Of
meaning may be effected by varying
the time and tone quality. A little
strengthening here, a holding back
there, the quickening of pulse, the
change of an accent-these make all
the difference between soul and clay,
between art and artifce, but it takes
a listening brain to feel them. Per-
haps-and indeed it is so regarded
this habit is one of the most precious
of the many really precious things
that Leschetizky develops in his
pupils.
And then there is the habit he is
always counseling of practicing away
from the piano; not practicing with
the hands, but with the mind, by
thinking out a piece, note by note,
passage by passage, until a distinct
and original idea of it has been OBJ
tanned. This work may be done, he
says, at almost any time, once the hab-
it is formed, and may be done with
orwithout notes. Cleveland Moffett,
in Ladies Home Journal

We believe when these men, be
they los or less, realize they are
voting either for Repnblicanism or
Democracy that they will stand
for the party Of the people, A
convention will be held in Lexing-
ton on tomorrow, a ticket will be
chosen and we say now that the
man who votes with that ticket is
aiding Republicanism, and if Ken
lucky is forced to another four
years of Republican rule they have
been the cause and that it is more
honorable to join the Republican
ranks than to claim to be Of par
ty whose very votes destroy their
own principles.

A Peculiar Hail.

The St. Petersburg Academy Of
Science was interested recently by a
note from Prof. Karpinsky, describ-
ing some peculiar hail which fell in
Russian Poland. The grains were
pear-shaped and contained black
granules. Chemical analysis showed
that they consisted of iron, nickel and
cobalt, and this satisfied Prof. Kar.
pinsky that they we're Of cosmic orr.
gin. The iron was magnetic. The
grains, probably the debris of meteors
that had been burned in the upper air,
would have escaped detection had
they had not been incloeed in the
transparent kail pellets, where the
contrast Of color quickly called at
tention to them.

A FRAUD.

On last Saturday afternoon at
the ringing ofthe Courthouse bell
a number of voters gathering to
hold what they are pleased to
term a regular Democratic conven-
ton. We have not an Overcharge
of bile and hence not one word Of
abuse for the fallacies of men. We
do know that Mr.. Johnston, when
Chairman Of the State Centrafsand
Executive Committee did call a
county convention, that it was reg
ular, that delegates, representa-
tives from said county conventions
did meet at Louisville, where they
were regularly organized into a
State Convention. We do know
that Col. P. p, Johnston called the
said convention to order, that with
it his duties ended. We do know
that his successor was regularly
elected by this same body he had
called to order and is now dis
charging the duties Of his position,
and that by virtue of that election
Maj. Johnston was returned to
the ranks as a private Democrat,
the same as the editor Of the AID
voCATE, with no more rights or
privileges, and that any order Civ
en- by him would be nothing short
of foolishness, hence the meeting
can only be demonstrated as a
fraud in which number of disaf-
fected Democrats engaged, they
resolved in favor Of all the resolu-
tons adopted by that Lexington
conference and stand committed
to them, many never having read
or heard of the said resolutions.
They then appointed los delegates
to the Lexington convention
which meets on the 10th instant,
some of whom have avowed they
will throw away no votes on third
candidate but will vote for Taylor.
Then there are also some of this
number who are now for the Dem
ocratic ticket and will support it.

WHO WILL THE SUCCESS
SOR BE7

At meeting of the board OF
trustees Of the Graded Public
School last week the members
were astonished to have read be-
fore them a note from Mrs. Nam
ME K. Hibler declining to allow
her name to go before
them for reelection. Mrs. Hibler
has been principal Of this school
for sixteen years, beginning with
it in disorganized condition and
bringing it to its present promin-
ence. The history of this school
we have given in former numbers
Of the ADVOCATE and we now pass
it with the statement that what our
graded school is at this time is due
to the efficient labors of the broad
Of trustees and management of the
school by Mrs. Hibler.
The question which now con
fronts us is this: Who will succeed
her? We can not afford to go
back, neither can we afford to stand
still. We must go forward, and
in order to do this it is necessary
to secure an up to date principal.
Who that person is and where he
can be found is the question. We
understand the Board has decided
that the succeeding principal shall
be man. Who is to be the man?
First he must possess a good
moral character. He must be an
educated man, an up to date
teacher, free from crankiness that
possess so many men Of letters; a
manager of teachers under him,
and children as we'll. While Mt.
Sterling has a school which has
ranked high, we deserve the best,
that we can have by applying for
it. 1t is true we have not salarie
equal to some schools, but be is
remembered that all Of our best
school men are not employed, and
they can be found by advertising
for them.
Since the trustees have only a |
limited time they should use every |
moment of it in securing the pro-
per person for this important posi- |
ton The course needs to be eX-
tended so that young man or
woman graduate Of the Mt. Sterl- |
ing High School needs not to go
to Lexington, Shelbyville, Vassar,
Wellesley, Oxford, or Georgetown.
We can have the best faculty the
country affords. Politics should
have nothing to do with it; religi-
Gus UNCONVENTIONAL spirit
should be obliterated; it
is the best, regardless of
home talent, Of denominations, Of
politics. We prefer home people
for our faculty, but if we have not
the best we should find it. To ask
for a school of the highest standard
IS not too much and with this in
view our trustees should strive.
