Their Views on the Explanation.

To the Editor of The Republican:
Sir:-The explanation of Mr.. c. L.
Wight of the Wilder company as TO the
reason why both the Claudine and Ki-
nau must leave Honolulu on Tues
day, and on no other day in the week.
is very ingenious as an explanation.
II has only one fault. and that is it
does not explain-because if one has to
admit that it is true, there is no get
ting out of the fact that all the other
inter-island boats should leave on the
same day. Cannot a days rest be taken
on any other day than Sunday? How
does the Mauna Loa make out her ten
day trips? How do the ocean steam
ers survive the long trips from San
Francisco across the Pacific Ocean?
Head winGs, indeed, Are there any
high winds or cyclones in the neigh
borhood of these Islands? It may be
very convenient for the Wilder cori-
pany TO have the present state of
things continue. out | suppose the
convenience of the public is not
thought of. mother case of the pub

cluding paragraph of Mr.. Wight's ex-
planation is a gem of humor. surely.
The wireless telegraph may certainly
give few important messages 20
those able to pay for them, but will il
telegraph the poor mans letters and
invoices. and the daily papers?
II is to be noped that Uncle Sans
mail route officials will not listen to
such specious twaddle as that set forth
in Mr.. Wights explanation. Yours
truly, PROGRESS.

FlNANClERS HOME.
Guests of President Lembeck Enjoy
Their Trip to Blooming Grove Park

Finance Commissioners Ringle, Mid
lge and Carnes with Clerk NJ f.
Kalaher, returned home last night from
Blooming. Grove Park, Pike Co., Pa,
where they have been rusticating since
Monday as the guests of President Lem
beck They all had splendid gypsy COM
plexions and evidently had enjoyed their
trip. Towards the end of the vacation
the party was joined by Mr.. f. M. Lock
wood of Greenville, once member of the
Finance Board.
The park comprises 1000 acres of as
wild and beautiful a piece of land
as there is in the country ana
abounding in deer, bears and all
that soft of thing. There are eight
lakes filed with fish and in these lakes
all day long the sporting members of the
party killed a great many bass.
Why said Clerk Kalaher, who being
an expert in keeping records surely
ought to know, ION one day alone Mr..
Midlfge took ten bass with hook and
Mr.. Carnes and I just as many

auritor, what did you say was in the

''Had any shooting?"
There were plenty of deer there, but
you need ball cartridges for them and
must shoot high. In fact you must have
high balls to shoot and to be shot, re-
piled Mr.. Kala!her with a smile.
And of course you had them?''

MADE DUMB BY HEAT.
Jersey City Man Stricken BY
AphaSia in New York.

Dumbness as a result Of heat prostra-
ton is the unusual afhction that the
Hudson Street Hospital New York, is
confronted with in the case OF Charles r.
Hoe, of No. 124 Orient avenue, Jersey
City Hoe left home early in the day to
visit friends in Manhattan. During the
day he walked about the streets and be-
came overheated and excited.
When he wished to board cable car at
Broadway and Ann street last night, step
ping into the roadway he raised his hand
and started to hail the gripman. His
tongue Glove to the roof of his mouth and
his lips would not move The terror OF
hand fell to his side. He stumbled to the
sidewalk and strIved to attract the atten-
tion of a policeman. lntuitively he tried
each time TO shout. He could not utter
sound.
So unnerved was he by his discovery
that the policeman thought from his ac-
tons that he had been maddened by the
heat. Slowly he made known the true
situation, and an ambulance was sum
moned. While waiting for the ambulance
he worked his jaws in frantic and persist
ent efforts to speak. He was able to COM
municate his name and address by writ
ing.
At the hospital it was said this morning
that Hoes condition was improving. His
malady was diagnosed as "aphasia," a
comparatively rare disease. The cause is
brain. With persons afflicted in this man
ner the brain nerforms every function ex-
cept that which communicates TO the yO-
cal organs the power of articulation.

ever, is not deemed probable and Mr.
Cummings is already being tipped as
winner.
Orange has three candidates thus far.
frederick A Grundman, William A. Lord
and Hugh j. Brady. Those who follow the
political game hereabouts look for an in
teresting seance in Orange. 1t is expect
ed that the contest for Assembly will vlr-
tually resolve itself into a test of strength
between Major Lentz and William Ri
ker. Mr.. Riker is believed to favor Brady,
and Lord is credited with having received
assurances of support from Major Lentz.
1t is possible that this district may not
be allowed to settle it's own fight, for the
contest may be carried into the conven-
ton.
Edgar Williams appears to lead in the
district comprising East Orange, South
Orange. Vailsburgh, Irvington and Clin-
ton. He is being opposed by William c.
Schmidt, a former Assemblyman, and
George P. Olcott, both fellow townsmen.
This district is at present represented by
Benjamin f. Jones, Speaker of the House,
and there is a movement on foot among
certain Republicans to give Mr.. Jones a
third term, as they argue he would be
morally certain of being elected Speaker
again, which fact would give prestige to
Essex County. Mr.. Jones personally has
not announced himself as a candidate, and
it is said that he is waiting to learn more
definitely the sentiment of his constituents
before announcing whether he would run
again.
John Hammel or John Howe, of the
Fifth Ward, are spoken of as probable
successor to Assemblyman Weseman; R.
w. Brown and Carl J. Ahlstedt, of the
Sixth Ward, are rivals for Assembly
man Krietlers mantle; Ralph Schmidt is
picked as the probable representative of
the Tenth and Twelfth wards, and E. G.
Gnichtel is said to stand good chances of
going on the ticket from the Thirteenth
and Fourteenth wards.
For Assemblyman Mungles place w. G.
Sharwell, of the Eleventh Ward, is de-
cared to be very much in the hunt, and
o. b. Gould and R. M. Boyd. Jr., of Mont
clair, are aspirants for the honor to be
laid down by Assemblyman Klein.

HOTEL WASHINGTON CHOSEN
Democratic State Committee
Makes Preparations for
the Campaign.

Chairman w. B. Gourley of the State
Democratic Committee, spent all yester-
day afternoon in this city examining
places for headquarters for the party
during the campaign. 1t was at first
suggested that suite of roms in the
Fuller Building would be desirable and
then rooms in the Imperial Hotel, Ex-
change place. Finally, however, Mr.
Gourley decided that the Hotel Washing
ton would be better adapted and that
place has been selected. The headquarters
will be opened on August Is.
The State Committee will meet on that
day, unless Mr.. Gourley changes his
plans and the preliminary work will be
begun at once.
"Of course" said one of the committee
men, little work will be done until Sep
tember beyound routine and dull details.
Arrangements for speakers, their timer
ary, etc, etc., will be mapped out later
and duly announced. Mr. Gourley has
not yet appointed his Advisory Commit
tee, but he will do so in few days. There
are other subcommittee to appoint and
their announcement will in all probability
be named at our next meeting in the
Hotel Washington.
