NIB, SARGENT GUEST
OF GOVERNOR CARTER

Governor Carriers luncheon to COM
missioner Sargent of Washington, at
Alexander Young hotel yesterday, was
perfectly satisfactory in every respect.
The party encircled round table,
upon which a choice menu was serv-
ed. The Governor had on his right
Mr. Sargent and on mis- left r. c..
Brown, acting chief inspector of i'm
migration here, while Secretary Atkin-
son sat opposite the Governor. There
We're fourteen at table, the others than
those already named being c. NJ.
Cooke, E. D. Tenney, F. NJ. Swanzy,
r. w. Breckons, w. NJ. Giffard, W. A
Kinney, J. H. Craig, j. j. Garden, J.
A. Gilman and r. D. Mead.
Mr.. Sargent made a speech that gave
pleasure to all who heard it. AS Com
missioner of immigration he said he
was well pleased with things here and
the prospects of a happy outcome of
matters connected with his depart
ment.
1t was not dollars and cents, Mr..
Sargent said. by which he estimated
the results Of what was being done
here in immigration, but the POSSIBLE
tiles to the Territory from the produc-
tive services of so many human beings,
of admirable mould and stamina, in
troduced into the texture of the per-
manent citizenship of the islands.

SICKNESS IN
THE SCHOOLS
Measles and Sore Eyes
Prevalent for Two
Months.

There has been a great deal of sick
ness in the schools of all the islands,
not excluding those of the city of Ho-
nolulu, the past two months Some of
the schools were almost depopuIated in
October. AS many of these are now
comparatively full again, the worst of
the general siege may be considered as
past.
Measles and sore eyes have been the
maladies that most prevailed and are
to some extent still prevailing. A good
many of the school reports note alb
sences for sickness without naming the
trouble, While mentioning sore eyes,
and the Education office deduces from
the general run of them that all is
measles that is not sore eyes.
Among the city schools fairly through
the siege after being heavily hit is
the Normal. Many of the November
reports are behindhand, so that the
present situation cannot be fully sized
up.
Waianae in November had "a cases
of eye trouble and 80 of measles. This
school is still demoralized. Superin-
tendent Rabbit found a muster of but
Is pupils there out of a roll of so two
days ago.
Aiea had 26 cases of measles in Oc-
tober, but the pupils have all returned
to school.
Waialua had 10 cases of sore eyes
last month. Moanalua had eight chill
dren down with measles. Maemae
school, Honolulu, had II cases of sick
ness, presumably measles, and % of
eye disease.
Kappa, Kauai, had ~ cases of sick
ness all told. The recent news cores
pondence and papers from Hawaii and
Maui indicate juvenile epidemics right
and left on those islands, the most
alarming reports being of the existence
of diphtheria in some places Where
this dangerous malady has appeared
the schools have been closed.
1.-The teachers are looking after the
children very carefully Superinten-
dent Rabbit said yesterday.
Some of them have gone to the
Board of Health for remedies, and
some buy remedies on their own &C
count for the children"

BIG FIELD MAKES
MINORITY GOVERN

How easy it may be for a man, in a
big field of runners, to win a seat
in a governing body and yet represent
but a small minority, is shown by S.
w Logan's petition against Kealoha's
election as supervisor for KoOlau.
Kealoha, if he stick, will hold the
seat by the votes of nineteen less than
one-third of the voters of the dictrict
who voted for that office.
Logan. should he win the contest,
would. by the criterion of choice from
among five men, represent but eight
more than one-fourth of the number
voting for district supervisor. How he
might fare among the four, with Ke-
aloha eliminated, nobody could ever
say.
The votes cast for the office were 3S4,
distributed thus: Kealoha. 109: Logan,

The letter reported received from Mr..
Stoddard in the above report is as fol-
lows:
Congress Springs, Cal, Oct. 3, 1906.
Dear Mr.. Wood: In 1S64-perhaps
that was before you were born-I made
the tour of Hawaii. Was there again
in 1S6S-71-S1, when L made Honolulu my
home for three years.
Il have written and published much
concerning the Hawaiian Islands There
ere chapters concerning Hawaii in my
books, South Sea Idyls,' The Island of
Tranquil Delights and Lazy Letters
from Low Latitudes' is all about Ha
wall. So is The Lepers of Molokai,' q
sketch of my dear friend. Rev. Father
Damien.
Il have not been in Hawaii since
1884. Am expecting to make my home
in old Monterey, California. What
would be easier or more natural than
to board the oiler Rosecrans in Mon
terey and slip down to Honolulu?
But o, the changes since the old
days! These I almost fear to see. Very
sincerely yours.
CHARLES WARREN STODDARD."

Honolulu which appeared recently in
one of our daily papers, were so timely
and of such value that | prepared
circular letter referring to the same
and sent out by the Alameda copies
Of this paper and letter to the city
editors of some five hundred daily
papers throughout the United States
and Canada
The last exchanges coming to hand
show that many of the leading weekly
and daily papers throughout the United
States are awaking to d realization that
Hawaii is the key to the Pacific.
The articles one and all urging that in
mediate attention be given to the
proper fertilization of the Islands that
they may be preserved to the United
States and thus ensure the safety
OF the Pacific Coast. These press no.
tees viii undoubtedly have their in
fluence on Congress and Will be of mat
erial assistance in securing for Hawaii
all that she needs in the way of federal
appropriations, 1t is very evident that
there is marked increase of interest
in our water front, the belief being
general that where one steamer calls
at Honolulu today, it will not be long
before there will be two and that travel
viii increase in equal proportion.
The circular letter we sent out to
medical men throughout the West call
ing attention to the healthfulness of
Hawaii, is already bearing fruit.
A letter from Mr.. BONNIE states that
the Edison Company is getting out
special catalogue of their Hawaiian
views which will be attractively IL
Illustrated and widely distributed; copies
should come to hand shortly.
At the time of writing Mr.. BONNIE
was completing arrangements to give
Mr.. Edison and family, the officers of
the Company and their families and
friends a "private view" not only of
the moving pictures but of the remark
able series of lantern slides made from
photos taken by Mr.. BONNIE while in
Hawaii.
A letter from Charles Warren Stod
and interestingly of Hawaii in his
"South Sea Idyls'
"The Island of Tranquil Delight
Lazy Letters from Low Latitudes"
and other works. states that he has not
been in Hawaii since 1884, that he is
expecting to make his home at old Mon
terey, California, and in his own words
What would be easier or more natural
than to board the oiler Rosecranz
in Monterey and slip down to Homo

number of old friends and acquain
tances here who should unite in urging
him to make the trip.

 T want you" said Oscard. There was little pause, an ominous silence, and Victor Durnovo slowly fol. lowed Oscard out of the room, leaving that ominous silence behind.
 T leave for Msala tonight" said O. card when they were outside, land you are coming with me-"
 "I'll see you cursed flrstw replied Durnovo, with courage born of Irish whisky.
 Guy Oscard said nothing, but hs stretched out his right hand suddenly. His fingers closed in the collar of Victor Durnoyos coat. and that parti- colored scion of two races found him. self feebly trotting the one street of LOangO.
 "Le' go" he gasped.
 But the hand at his neck neither relinquished nor contracted. When they reached the beach the embarka- tion of the little army was going for ward under Maurice Gordon's super vision. Victor looked at Gordon. He reflected over the trump card held in his hand, but he was too skillful to play 1t then.

Meredith-to tonightw he kept repeating with . sickening monotony. And all the while he stumbled on. The per spiration ran down his face in one continuous stream; at times he paused to wipe 1t from his eyes with the back of his hands. and, as these were torn and bleeding, there were smears of blood across his cheeks
 The night fell. The moon rose, red and glorious, and the beasts of this un- trodden forest paused in their search for food to watch with wondering, fearless eyes that strange, unknown animal-man.
 It was Durnoyo who, climbing wild ly, first saw the break in the trees ahead. He gave a mufled cry of de- light, and in few minutes they were all rushing, like men possessed, up a bare slope of broken shale.
 Durnovo reached the summit first. A faint pleasant odor was waited into their faces. They stood on the edge of vast tableland melting away in the yellow moonlight. Studded all over, like sheep in meadow, were num- Der of little bushes and no other vege- tation.
 Victor Durnovo stopped over one of these. He buried his face among the leaves of 1t, and suddenly he toppled over.
 "Yes," he cried as he fell; tits simia- cine"
 And he turned over, with groan of satisfaction, and lay like dead man.

 It was not very we'll done. and sha probably saw through it. She prob ably knew that he was as anxious as she was herself. But his very presence was full of comfort. It somehow brought a change to the moral atmos- phere.

 That same evening a second messen- ger started northward after Maurice Gordon with letter telling him to come back at once to Loango.
 
 Guy Oscard was dining alone in Russell square when telegram was handed to him. He opened it and read:

 JocELYN GORDON. In due time Guy Oscard landed on the beach at Loanda. He had the tele- gram still in his pocket, and he went, not to Maurice Gordon's office, but to the bungalow.
 Jocelyn greeted him with little in- arti:ulate cry of joy.
 T did not think that Ipu could pos sibly be here so soon," she said.

 Guy Oscard read 1t carefully.

 But you will go?' she said, and something in her voice startled him. Of course will go,' he replied. He looked down into her face with vague question in his quiet eyes, and who knows what he saw there? Perhaps she was of her guard. Perhaps she read this man aright and did not care. With a certain slow hesitation he laid his hand on her arm. There was something almost paternal in his man. ner which was in keeping with his stature.

I strongly to the manhood of her fellow
 servant Joseph and her whllon
 master.
 T hear the sound of paddles" sht
 said.
 My ears are not 50 sharp as yours,
 said Oscard.
 l He listened, and after Q moment heard the regular glug-glug of the pad dies stealing over the waters of the still tropic river, covering wonderful distance.
 "Yes," he said, T hear. Mfr Mere dith said be would be back tonight"
 She gave strange little low laugh almost the laugh of a happy woman. The two boats came on to the slopine shore with a grating sound. and by the light of the waving lanterns Oscard saw D',rnovo and Jack land from the same boat
 The three men walked, up to the house together. Marie was at the door and bowed her head gravely in answer to Jacks salutation. Durnoyo nodded curtly and said nothing. In the sitting room, by the light of the paraffin lamp, the two Englishmen exchanged long questioning glance, quite different from the quick interro- gation of woman's eyes. There was a smile on Jack Meredith's face.
 "All ready to start tomorrow? he in- quired.
 "Yes," replied Oscard.
 And that was all they could say. Durnovo never left them alone to- gether that night, He watched their faces with keen, suspicious eye. Be- hind the mustache his lips were pursed up in restless anxiety. But he saw nothing-learned nothing. These two men were inscrutable.
 At II o'clock the next morning the simiacine seekers left their first un- happy camp at Msala. They had tasted of misfortune at the very beginning. but after the first reverse they return ed to their work with that dogged de- termination which is better spirit than the wild enthusiasm of departure, where friends shout and flags wave, and an artificial hopefulness throws in its jarring note.
 In less than week they had left the river, hauling their canoes up on the bank and hiding them in the tangle of the virgin underwood. A depot of pro- visions. likewise hidden. was duly made, and the long. weary march be- gan.
 We have not to deal so much with the finding of the simiacine as with the finders, and of these the chief at this time was Jack Meredith. It seemed quite natural that one duty after another should devolve upon him. and he invariably had time to do them all and leisure to comment pleasantly upon 1t. But his chief care was Vic tor Durnovo.
 When they had been on the march for two months-piloted with marvel. ous instinct by Durnovo-Meredith made one or two changes in the or ganixat,on. The caravan naturally moved slowly, owing to the enormous amount of baggage to be carried. and this delay seemed to irritate Victor Durnovo to such an extent that at last 1t was obvious that the maa would 60 mad unless this frightful tension could be relieved.
 An advance column. commanded by Meredith and Durnovo. was selected to push on to the plateau. while Os- card and Joseph followed more leisure iy with the baggage and the slower travellers.
 Victor Durnovo would never know rest TOW until he reached the spot where the simlacIne should be. If the
