Dissatisfaction over the appointment
Of w. S. Edings as Judge of the Third
Circuit of Hawaii grows fast. Aston
ishment is expressed that o. the many
members of the bar whose abilities are
urquestioned and whose standing is as
sured better selection was not made.
In the judiciary building, the Executive
building, the clubs and in the cf0lrches
incredulity as to the appointment of
Edings, and outspoken opinions Of his
unfitness were heard on all sides. A. s.
Humphreys, himself Judge of the Cir
cult Court, when asked yesterday as to
his estimate of Mr.. Edings' qualifica-
lions for the bench, was emphatic in his
statement Of the latter's unfitness for
judgeship.

you would not object to my speaking OF

DISPOSITION OF
HAWAIIAN STAMPS
Will be Sent to Washington
to be destroyed Other
Postal Matters.

Much interest has been expressed in
the question of the disposition of the
Hawaiian stamps which have gone out
of use and are being redeemed at the
postoffice. Louis Kenake, chief clerk to
Postmaster Dat, said yesterday that
there were in the postoffice Hawaiian
stamps valued at several thousand dol
lars, while quantities are coming in
daily to be redeemed. -
These stamps" said Mr.. Kenake,
ARE all TO be sealed up in the office here
and sent to Washington. After mid
night Wednesday no Hawaiian stamps
were allowed to be sold. Collectors all
over the world have been anxious to get
these stamps, for in a few years they
will be very valuable. We don't want
any repetition of the Cuban scandals
here. and we shall take great care of
the packages of stamps and send them
directly to Washington, where they will
be destroyed"
Thursday morning the first United
States money orders were issued at the
Honolulu postoffice; one of them was re-
ceived and paid and two were is
