To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Can you give me any information con-
corning the climate of New Zealand?
INTERESTED INQUIRER.
1.-THE chmats of New Zealand is varied,
but in i~:enersl eduable, with no intense
heal or cold. The mean temperature for
January is g. per cent. in the north and
IS per cent. in TIA south; for June it Is
81 degrees In the north and 40 degrees in
the south. Frost is almost unknown in
North Island. The rainfall varies from
Is inches In the east to over 100 inches on
the west coast. The coast districts are
very windy. which fact contributes toward
rendering the climate healthful.-Ed.

The Republican party in New Jersey is sick, and there can
be only one diagnosis; it is suffering from dismay and dscour-
agement because a hysterical policy of regulating business
to undermine if not to destroy it.-New York Sun.
Oh, no, that isn't the cause of the sickness of the Repub-
party in New Jersey. The party is suffering from dry
rot and swened head. Continued success brought on a surfeit
of conceit that ignored public sentiment. The Republican party
in New Jersey came near to defeat largely because it was
accused of standing against an effective regulation of the public
utility companies, ana Governor elect Fort knows that he would
have been beaten had he not favored such regulation. The
Republicans of New Jersey have been behind their fellows
in New York and other States in this respect, but they are
catching up now, and one of the features of Governor Forts
inaugural message is likely to be a strong and specific recon-
mendaton for fair and comprehensive Legislation on this subject

OF course the Honorable Bob Davis will be able to reward
himself with anything that he wants in the Jersey City munich
pal building, but that doesn't lessen the Republican obligation to
him. Hi can't be appointed Chancellor, Chief Justice nor At

Board of Assessors, and he ought to have the refusal of one of
these places.

What Roosevelt Has Accomplished.
Whatever befalls. the country will not
suffer a return to the good old robbing
days, when the railroads played their self
ish games at the public expense, and mo-
nopoly in restraint of trade and In de-
fance of all rules Of fair dealing, snapped
1t fingers in the face of the authorities
and asked Tweed's famous and Infamous
question. The country now knows a way
to do something about it. and, If at great
cost here int there, Mr.. Roosevelt has
blazed that way. Or. put in his Gown
form, Mr.. Roosevelt in turning on the light
has left no excuse for turning it off again,
and 1t will not be turned off. Work may
be the better performed after we all get
accustomed to the glare and what has
been disclosed.-Washington Star.

The explanations of Forts victory are almost as numerous
as the autumn leaves which are now bestrewing the highways.
Some of them are more or less accurate, Others are merely stupid
and a few are mirth- provoking. For instance. we are told. in
all seriousness, that the Judges election is q viudication of the
Bishops bill. an expression of the peoples determination to
uphold it and a general declaration in favor of 'civic righteous
ness" And yet today we'd have a Democratic Governor.eect

NO VERDICT RETURNED IN THE
 CAFFEY CASE.
Third Night Spent in Bfx Court Room, With Not . Murmur of Complaint From One of

 Last night was the third consecutive night spent in the city court room by the twelve men trying Frank Caffey. the negro doctor, for murder. The case. began Monday morning and 1t went to the jury at $40 o'clock Tuesday after. noon.
 The jurors were kept together Mon day night and slept on cots in the city court room. Tuesday night they slept on the same cots and at midnight. under the directions of Judge Thomas. they were unlocked and turned loose in the big court room. There they re- tired and made the best of 1t. again sleeping on the cots.
 The Caffey jury has been one of the most even tempered turies that has ever sat In the city, court. Not com plaint have they made to the court, not once have they called on Judge Thomas to release them or even gignf- fy that they would like to be dis- charged. They have asked the court for no further advice on the law in the case. Probably not more than twice have they called upon the baiiiffs to administer to their wants. They are orderly and. from appearances, seem contented to wait until Judge Thomas should summon them before him to ascertain if there Is possibility of verdict
 Few reports emanate from the Caf-, fey jury. The only rumor to which any credence is attached Is that the jurors are far apart and that their chances of agreeing are remote. As far as was known yesterday. no one outside the jury box had any. Idea of how the jurors stood. Reports were prevalent in the city but there appears to have been no foundation for them.
 The principal diversion of the Caf- fey jury is their meals. Regularly. three times day, they have been taken by bailiffs to one of the Montgomery's best ~restaurants There thdg ate at tables provided exclusively for them. They were allowed to buy cigars and tobacco. Deputy Sheriff George Will son is in charge Of the jury.
 How long Judge Thomas intends holding the jury no one can tell

1Red Feather at Montgomery Theater'
 All of Reggy DeKoven's musical en sembles have way about them, tnat is particularly pleasing aside from the interpolatlons of the punster ana me librettist. and in none of them mas he brought more merit to the !ore than in sRed Feather Hih work does not irnportune for public favor through the bright lines of the speaking parts, or the soulful poetry of the fibrettist, but stands alone and is the opera, He is recognized as the inventor in the high -cIass musical line just as Georse Ade is head-lined as the author in less meritorius works.
 It's not so far from Robin Hood to Red Feather. and yet there is such a distinctness about botR productions that the most acute musical mind can hardly find a similarity in the melo- dies. There is. 1t Is true. nothing just as good as 70. Promise Me" Brown October Ale" or the armorer's song in Red Feather but the ensembles ap- proach grand opera In their beauty of color and weird harmony. From the standpoint of the music lover, tho work is entrancing. but to the average lover of light opera it requires moro capable company than that of last night to produce.
 Cheridah Simpson had difficulty in sustaining the part created py GraTH Van studdiford. "comparisons are odious," but what are we benightcd theater- goers and opera patrons down here to measure our entertainment by, pray, if not by comparison? Miss Simpson has a wonderfully clear and true soprano She does not lack the enthusiasm of her theme, nor stage presence. nor artistic temperament. nor physical fitneFF. Then. one asks, what does she luck? She lacks the oppor- tunity of having been the first to sing ''Red Feather" in the same entrancing manner as Miss Van Studdiford sang it. Her execution of the singing parts is entirely perfunctory. She creates nothing that the composer has not sup. piled In his score. and she attempts no voice trickery that might be turned to advantage. She is above criticism in the mechanical production, but ona feels something minus
