Not long ago Judge Black met gen.
tlcman who pathetically related his en-
deavors to break himself OF tobacco-chew-
ing, as it met with the unqualified con-
domination of all civilized people. "You
will find it hard Casa hard case, my
friend, replied the Judge, with solemn
wink. ~ tried to break myself of it
once-didn't ever tell you! Well. it
was when l was Attorney General, and /
said to myself, Jeremiah Black, we've
got to stop this thing So made up
my mind and one morning Istarted down
to my office without scrap of tobacco.
l began the day badly and it got worse
by degrees. never felt so much like
savage in my life. l dismissed two clerks,
bounced messenger, made fool of my
self three or four times, snapped at every
body, and started for home feeling my.
self to be total failure and all creation
a mistake. On the way l met man
whom l respected very much. He was a
religious man. told him my experience
with leaving off tobacco and asked his
advice. Judge he said, my expert
ence is the same as yours. tried to
leave off too. l quarrelled with several
members of the church belonged to,
thought the minister was fool, got tired
of my wife, and if l had kept it up l
should have been moral monster-and
determined to circumvent the old enemy
by taking up my cherished vice, and so,

that tobacco-chewing was conductive to
virtue and (cutting quid) propose to

A correspondent of the United States
Miller. in Budapest. Austria Hungary,
in a recent letter, mentions an interest
ing experiment in pilc-driving by the use
of dynamite. The piles experimental on
had already been driven by an ordinary
pile.driver, but it was desired to drive
them further. An officer Of the military
engineer corps was detailed to superin-
tend the experiment. The piles were
squared and the tops c,vered by a
wrought.iron plate fifteen inches square
and four and half inches thick. A sew.
enteen and half ounce charge of dyna-
mite in the form of cake six inches in
diameter, wrapped in paper and clay was
placed on the denter of each plate and
fired. The effect produced was estimated
to be equal to five blows of l, 5OO-pound
hammer, falling from height of ten feet.

ELISHA H. ALLEN.

The latest mail from the States brings the
II. Allen, Hawaiian Minister a, Washington,
which took place suddenly at the White House
while President Arthur was holding his New
Year reception. A full account will be found
elsewhere in to.day's issue. Mr.. Allen served
this country long and faithfully and his loss is
deeply deplored.
He was born at New Salem, Mass, January
IS, 1904. His father, Hon. S. c. Allen, was
an eminent lawyer of Massachusetts, a mem.
Der Of the Legislature of the same state and als6
a member Of Congress. Mr.. Allen graduated
with distinction from Williams College in
1898, after which he studied law in his fathers
Office at Brattlcboro, VT, and in 1896 removed
TO Bangor, Maine, and began the practice of
law. He was a member of the state legisla
ture from 1896 to 1871, and in 1898 was
speaker of the House. He took prominent
part in the settlement of the northeastern
boundary question at that time. He was
elected to the twenty congress taking
his seat in March, IS4I. He failed of election
tothe succeeding term, the successful competitor
being Hannibal Hamln, afterward Vice Presi-
dent of the United States, and who was one of
the pail bearers at Mr.. Aliens funeral at
Bangor. He was on the foreign affairs COM
mittee while in Congress, and was further
| concerned in the settlement of the north-ea east
en boundary question. In 1886 Mr.. Allen
L..
practised law. In IS49 he was elected to the
legislature of Massachusetts, and in 1880 was
appointed U. S. Minister to the Hawaiian
Islands, and left shortly after for this country
He decided to remain in the islands and gave
up his Office to accept a place in the Hawaiian
cabinet as Minister Of Finance He was sent
as Envoy to the United States in 1886, and
was appointed Chief Justice and Chancellor in
1857, which Office he held for the long term of
| twenty years. He was sent to the United
States on diplomatic missions in 1864, and in
1870 was again accredited to the government
| and has held the position ever since. He la
of reciprocity between the two governments
and IT was largely due to his efforts that the
present treaty was negotiated in 1876.
| Notwithstanding his advanced age, within
few weeks Of seventy-nine years, he was still
engaged in active work in favor of the treaty at
the time of his death. He was the dean of the
| diplomatic corps at Washington and fell dead
shortly after paying his respects to the Presi-
dent with his colleagues. He was trusted
and honored servant of this kingdom, whose
gratitude he has richly earned, and was held in
the highest regard by his large circle of official
and personal acquaintance in Washington and
elsewhere in the East. His death is great
loss and is much to be regretted by the people
Of these islands, who all unite in sending to the
bereaved relatives their most sincere sympathy
and warmest aloha.

III ChtIGo.
The annual report of the Hawaiian Board,
presented last June, has jus, come from the
printers. Various reasons account for the long
delay. The news in regard to the churches,
the schools and the missions has been anticipa-
ted in newspaper statements long ago. Some
facts may be called of general interest to the
public. IS church organizations reported;
81 on Hawaii; IS on Maui; on Molokai;
on Lanai II on Oahu; 6 on Kauai. s Of
these churches make no report. Among the
delinquent are the two churches in Honolulu,
Kawaiahao and Kaumakapili. The so churches
reporting claim membership of 6,2o3, Of
whom 2I5 were received the previous year. 80
Young Peoples Christian Associations have
been formed in the various parishes, and are
proving valuable auxilaries in diffusing and
upholding christian principles. One new
church building is mentioned, that at Kilauea,
Kauai, to which Mr. f. P. Adams and Mrs.
J. G. Dickson largely contributed. The vari-
Gus schools under the patronage of the board
are reported 1t is mentioned, incidently, that
Piled. A full account is given Of the various
lines of work among the Chinese now under
the special superintendence of Mr.. Frank w.
Damon. The necessity for work among the
Portuguese immigrants is another call on the
christian activities of our Evangelical Churches
whose principles and methods of work and
worship are new to these immigrants and yet
to some Of them seem desirable and true. The
total amount of contributions from the fifty
churches reporting was $2o,42I.o9. OF this,
So, $50. 81 was for support Of pastors. Only
eleven pastors report salaries of $500, the larg-
est reported (not the largest paid, $1,000 be-
ing $50. 20 pastors have less than $2oo
each. "a churches have parsonages. $1,000
81 was the amount reported spent for church
building, land this, it will be noticed, does not
include the Kaumakapili church.) The con-
tributions to the Hawaiian Board from Hawaii.
an churches and donations from individual
Hawaiians amounted to $3,s56.o7, decrease
Of $6Ia.II. The resident foreigners, individu-
ais and churches, gave $I,I7L9I. The
amount contributed by the Hawaiian was only
$S3.47 more than the salaries paid to the Ha
waian missionaries. In the matter Of publ
cations, Hawaiian books sold amounted to
$934.74; Gilbert Island books, $23I. Sc; in
Micronesia $276.Io. 77s7 books were for
warded by the Morning Star; 1850 in the
Mortlock language; $3.50 Puuapean. 26 ia-
waiian Missionaries, IS Of them men, are at
present on the roll Of the Hawaiian Board, six
on the Marquesas Islands, ten on the Gilbert
Islands. On the whole, the report makes a
creditable showing of the work attempted and
accomplished in the home and foreign fields.

taken against proprietors and editors. Here
distinct effort has been made to terrorizc
portion Of the press. What next may be es.
sayed ii is difficult to conjecture.
The relative positions Of the Ministry and
press reminds one Of the interview between the
niquitous King and the Prophet: "Art thou
he that troubeth Israeli have not troubled
Israel, but thoul" II is not the press of Homo.
lulu, but the vagaries Of the present Ministry,
that call down the reprobation Of the American
press.
We shall watch with much interest, and
comment upon without fear, the next move in
the game Of "Autocracy VS.. Free Press. 4"
Meanwhile let us congratulate ourselves on the
ascerained fact tina, the Board Of Education
knows its duty and is going TO do It.
"it is the curse of kings to he attended
by slaves that take their humors for a warrant"
The article in question was Published by our
contemporaries as an extract Of news, showing
how affairs here are looked upon from abroad,
and tells what naturally nigh, be expected
where the will and interests Of the people are
disregarded.
The voice of the people has protested loud
and long against the policy pursued by the
King and the present administration 1t wants
reform, thorough and absolute, and the spirit
Of the constitution observed for the conduction
Of the government for the good Of the people
instead of.for the vani,ies Of the King. II
wants the government conducted in accordance
with the spirit of the age instead Of re,rograd.
ing into absolutism Of the dark ages. All this
change Kalakaua can have this very day il he
feels so disposed. All tendency to unrest
ceases with a change Of policy. Opposition
that has not come from any organization, but
has grown spontaneously from the people, will
continue to assert itself until il is felt, At.
temp,s to "mur1le the press" will not divert
the mind Of the peple. The attemp, this week
to influence the Board Of Education to remove
Mcssrs. Atkinson and Hill from their schools,
for admitting into the columns Of their papers
the article above referred to, not only resulted
in miserable failure, but aroused strong pro.
tests at this aim at the public's rights. Liberty
Of speech they will have. We may be struck
down at our posts, but the interests Of the pub
lie will pu, Others in our places with force and
power.
