on Maui looking after school matters.

pail to look into school conditions
there said the superintendent. ITO see
if the proposed school at Kaanapali
was desirable. have concluded that
/ it would be better to build an addi-

wal, making that a two-room school
and have the children from Kaanapali
come there. Manager Barkhausen has
agreed to supply water from the plan
tation for drinking purposes at this
school.
''Lahaina needs now, or very soon

house. We shall for the present add
two lanai recitation rooms, and get
along with that until a suitable school
building can be erected.
"At Olowalu, l inspected the new

than the old site, and the plantation

making this a two-room school
AT Keahua the new building is

THE Paia school premises are pretty
dilapidated. The Public Works De-

on a site to be decided by the Maui
Agricultural Company and will contain

MARINE

The British steamship Hampstead,
which arrived at Newcastle, y. s. W.,
Australia, about April Is, reported to
the shipping authorities there that a
disabled vessel had been sighted at
Middleton reef. The Hampstead, when
near the reef, several hundred miles
off the northeast coast of New South
Wales, sighted a large ship with her
topgallantmasts gone, lying to the
northeast of the reef. Captain Hill
took the vessel which was painted lead
color, to be full-rigged ship of about
$500 tons. The Navigation Department
of Australia, says Canadian paper
of May y, is making inquiries into
the matter. 1t is possible that the
long overdue ship BangaIore, 216 days
out of Norfolk for Honolulu, is she

STERLING HAS THE BABCoCK.

The American ship W. F. Babcock,
well known in Honolulu, 100 days out

Island.
Captain Edward r. Sterling, the
Babcock's master, is very we'll known
in Honolulu. as We'll, almost, as he is
known in New York, Newcastle, sgd

THE CHANGE OF ExEcurrVEs.

''The King is deadi Long live the
Klng!" is the formula of the uninter-
rupted succession in the headship of a
monarchy. In a republican state the
succession is practically the same, only
the new executive is elective and not
dynastic. Today Governor Edward c.
Stokes ended his eventful term of
three years, and ~retires with a record
of achieved results that gives him a
high place in the States roll of Gov
ernors Today begins the administra-
ton of Governor John Franklin Fort,
who has all his record to make.
New Jersey Governors nowadays are
workers. There is really no harder
worked man in the State than he who
occupies the executive Office and con-
scientiously performs his duty. Time
was when New jerseys Governor had
plenty of leisure. What work he did
was largely perfunctory. II he re-
quired information in public matters
somebody else dug 1t out for him; he
saw things through the eyes of others,
and performed things by the agency OF
others. The gubernatorial office, too,
was wholly partisan. 1t isn't so now,
And the executive view of public ques-
tions is usually the unbiased view. The
fact that a Governor, when he is in
augurated, becomes the Governor of the
whole people. and not simply the rep
resentative in office of a political party
has grown upon the mind of the State
and has become the legend of the
g~ubernatorial Office.
Today the State exchanges n Re-
publican Governor for another, but the
idea of a peoples Governor is not i'm
paired. We believe it will be strength
ened by the gew administration. Ir
the busy and quick-changlng life Of
the State, also. three years constitute
q sort of epoch. The Stokes admins
tration was epochal, witnessing as i
did some Of the most importani
changes ever enacted In New Jersey
That epoch closes today. and a new
one begins. What it shall be and wha
results shall be had depend to a grea
extent upon the Governor today in
augurated upon his fortltude in duty
his devotion to high ideals, his intelli
gence and his patriotism.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star;
What are the facts concerning the dis
covery of the power Of mesmerism?
d. w. p.
[Mesmerism was first brought into nAice
in 1866, by Frederick Anton Mesmer, a Ger
man physician, when be published a thesis
on 1.-The Influence OF the planets on the
Human Body" claiming that the heavenly
bodies diftused through the universe a
subtle uid which acts On the nervous
system Of animated beings, and he further
stated that he regarded the new force,
which, he said, could be exerted by one
living organism upon another. as a means
of alternating or curing disease. In IT'S
he left Vienna for Paris, where he gained
numerous proselytes n much money.
His discovery was fostered by DIR. DElson,
physician TO the Kings brother. and In
11S4 the French government ordered the
medical faculty Of Paris to Investigate Mes
mer's theory. A committee was appointed,
which afterwards reported that THE
violent effects which are observed in the
public practise Of nesmerism are due 10
the ma~nipulations. to the excitement OF
tile imagination which leads us to repeat
anything which produces an impression
upon the senses One year later, 1875,
Mesmer's popularity had so far declined
that he left Paris and retired to Switzer-
land, where he spent the balance OF hts
life. Mesmerism excited some attention
again in 1913. when Miss Harriet Martineau
and others proclaimed their belief ia Il

ton of another new hospital as neces-
sary to are for the increase of the
insane in the State. Before the Legis-
lature makes any large special appro-
priation for the maintenance of the
insane It would be judicious to appoint
a commission to make a careful in
quiry to ascertain the worthiness of
the present inmates of the two institu-
tons maintained at the expense Of the
State.
Medical Director F'etley, Of the Tren-
ton Hospital for the Insane, say in
his annual report that the hospital is
treated as a house of refuge for per-
sons whose minds have been impaired
by the ailments of old age and whose
care and treatment must be custodial
rather than remedial. and he adds;
MANY of them should be cared for
In their own homes or In well-regu-
lated county almshouses." The pres
ence Of this class of people in the hos
pital, helping to overcrowd 1t, neces-
sarily interferes with the proper care
of the other patients. In both the
State hospitals there are epileptic
cases that do not belong to such insti-
| buttons.
Nearly ten years ago the state cpl
leptic village was started, and it has
been starved along on small appro-
priations. A special commission in
1896 set forth the necessity Of re-
moving the epileptic patients from
the insane hospitals, and scores Of
these patients still remain in the hos
pitfalls. Every one should be removed
at an early day and every case such
as described by DR.. Fetley should be
sent to relatives who are able to pro-
vide for them, or be cared for in public
county institutions.
Investigation will show also that not
a few of the patients who are MAIN
tained in the hospitals at the States
expense should properly be pay pa
TENTS, as their families are able to
pay the cost of their keep. A thorough
investigation and purging of the two
State hospitals will do away with any
present necessity for enlargement Of
their accommodations.

Motor vehicle. ON the. Farm.

Travelling statesmen for automobile man.
ufacturers say that the demand for the
machines Is l~iveliest in the agricultural
districts at the present time-particularly
in the farming regions of the West, and
that indications are that farmers will
buy the bulk of the output of h au-

There are districts where there have
been farmer automobiles from early in
the history of this mode of travel, and
where road Improvement is now earnestly
advocated, with a prospect of soon be-
coming more of a reality and less of a
dream than 1t has been in the past.

There was quick work in the court
yesterday in the case of Wilson, the
negro murderer. His trial, conviction
and sentence occupied only a few
hours. And the court sized up to its
duty in the ease by giving short shrift
to the murderer. who will be electro
cuted the first week in March. The
crime which is soon to be expiated
was one of peculiar atrocity, and pre-
sents not one redeeming feature. and
the stupid brute who committed it can
not be too soon translated out of the
world.
