Rescued.

Mr.. EDITOR: Mr.. Starr, of the
Seventh-Day Adventists, comes to the
rescue of Fort Street Congregationalist
Church and the Y. NJ. G. A. Believe
Ellen G. White, their inspired head.
Mrs. White, in one of her inspired
books says:
"I saw the state of the different
churches since the second angel pro-
claimed their fall Tin 1844). They have
been growing more and more corrupt. :.
{. Satan has taken full possession of the
churches as body. The churches
were left as were the Jews, and they
have been filling up with every unclean
and hateful bird. saw great iniquity
and vileness in the churches, yet they
profess to be Christians. Their profess
sions, their prayers and their exhorta-
tons are an abomination in the sight of
God. Said the angel: God will not
dwell in their assemblies. Selfishness,
fraud and deceit are practiced by them
without the reprovings of conscience. !"
-[From Spiritual Gifts, Vol. l., pages
189-19O.
OF course, no one who believes the
above will condemn the pastor of the
Union Congregational Church or bis
choir for assisting minister of the
above doctrine, to draw away from the
church that Good has forsaken" and
"whose prayers the devil answers" into
the pure and holy Seventh-Day Advent
list body.
The undersigned has leaf1et handed
him by Elder Burgess, which ably en-
dOrses this letter of Mrs. White.

A Ridiu6 Party.

A very pleasant lunch and riding party
was given yesterday afternoon at the
residence of His Excellency J. L. Ste
vens. The party, after partaking of a
very delicious lunch of bouill on, salad.
cold ham and turkey, ice cream and
other delicacies, mounted and rode out
on the Eva road, through Moanalua and
two miles beyond, as far as the crown of
the hill, where they looked back on the
white houses of Honolulu nesting
around Punchbowl, and forward to the
foot of the Pearl lochs, to the Queen City
of the Pacific that is to be. The weather
was perfect, the air superbly clear after
the long rains, the country very fresh
and green and the company most agree
able, so that happy combination of
circumstances rendered the party most
delightful one.

HONOLULU ART AND SCIENCE, ASSO
CITATION.

In Thursdays issue of the ADVERTISER
communication was published calling
attention to the above institution, the
instruction afforded and lectures given
under its auspices. This is not matter
which the public can afford to let drop.
The association is not money-making
concern. It was founded to assist in
supplying a need much felt and often
complained of-the lack of external
opportunities in the way of self-culture
afforded IN our community, isolated as
it is from the great intellectual
centres of the world. The society
is thus a quasi-missionary organ
ization, and deserves the earnest
support of all who are interested in
its specific object; of all, in short, who
are lovers of knowledge and light, and
are interested in their further diffusion.
The instruction offered by the associa-
ton we believe is of good quality. The
lectures given are on topics of import
ance and are of kind to instruct as well
as entertain. 1t will be pity indeed if
this useful association, like SO many
others of a similar character in our
lethargic city, is permitted to languish
and die for want of little public interest
and support.

HALLOWE'EN BALL.

The Rifles Armory was gaily decor
ated last evening for the ball given by
the Scotch Thistle Club, and the large
room was thronged at an early hour.
The sides and end of the Armory were
draped with fags-a whole galaxy Of
nations being represented-but the royal
standard of Hawaii and the stars and
stripes dominated. At the makai end,
high on the wall, were the standard of
Scotland a lion Tampant-and the cross OF
St.George. The pillars were tastefully cir
cled with wreaths of ferns and other
trophies of the woods. At the mauka
end Prof. Berger presided with his
orchestra discoursing sweet music which
set your feet in motion in spite of your
self.
At 8:15 the guests-two or three hun
dred in number-were all assembled and
eager to thread the giddy mazes of the
waltz. Dancing was begun and kept up
with will, the music being simply per-
lection. Prof. Berger. with his usual en-
terprise, had woven into his Highland
schottische number of old Scotch tunes.
The intermission gave the audience an
opportunity to solace themselves with a
number of good things, such as cake and
cream, ices and lemonade, ambrosial
coffee-all of the best.
During the intermission MIR. John G.
Lumsden, of the club, clad in Highland
military costume, gave the company an
opportunity to witness the sword dance,
an intricate dance, which was executed
with great skill. A burst of applause
compelled an encore, and Mr.. Lumsden
danced some steps from the Highland
fling.
After the intermission, the business of
the evening was resumed and kept up
until late hour. The Growing of the
early cock was the signal for dispersal.
Scotch hospitality has the true ring, and
when the guests parted they did so with
regret that The good time was over; with
thanks to the Club, with congratulations
for it's enterprise, and with hopes that it
hasn't left you too much out of pocket,

THE MECHANICS ON LABOR.

The tone of the meeting OF the Me-
chanics' Union, held Thursday evening,
was, as we are pleased to chronicle, very
moderate and reasonable. It is quite
true that in settling the labor question,
the interests of all parties must be con-
sidered. What, however, We feel it par
ticularly necessary to point out, is that
the solution reached must be one which
will enable the sugar industry to 60 on
and prosper, simply because a misfor-
tune to the industry will hurt everybody
and help no one. Some means, there
fore, of enabling sugar to be raised at a
profit MUST be devised. That is abso-
lutely indispensable to the laboring men
as we'll as to the planters, and measures
taken in the supposed interest of labor
which do not insure the prosperity of
sugar, will defeat their own object.
Capt. Ross says planters must cut
down their other expenses-"superhu-
GUS" freights. commissions and their gen.
eral extravaganza. The difficulty is that
all these things were done several years
ago, when the price of sugar was so low.
Commissions were cut down very low at
that time, all unnecessary expenses were
mercilessly Topped off, the most efficient
machinery was introduced, and the
whole matter of economy was given the
most anxious consideration. It is simply
a delusion to suppose that adequate
economies of the sort indicated can be
made at the present moment. No doubt
some such further economy will be pos
sible-some small leak holes will be dis
covered. The great saving. however,
must be made elsewhere. 1t must I'M
avoidably be in the great item of labor.
Cheaper labor must be had, labor which
is cheaper, that is, either because it is
lower priced or more efficient.

We told you something the
other day about a little ar
rangement for keeping butter
fresh. Not much-just enough
to make you want to know
more. It's made of tin, cylin-
drical in shape, just the size OF
a roll of butter. Inside is a
round stand filled with chemi-
Gals which are entirely con-
cealed from view and just how
they have any influence on the
butter you'll have to guess
we can't, but they do. Besides
being useful in keeping the
butter fresh you'll find them
convenient to send to your
grocer to pack the butter in
for your use. No need OF
having dusty or melted butter
if you use one of these.
They're cheap 100!

AGENTS for the

UNITED STATES WATER FILTER.
1t is hardly necessary to direct the
attention of the public to the fact that
pure water is one of the principal agents
in preserving health and insuring per-
feet comfort in household. The germ
OF our most malignant diseases can be
traced back to impure water.
The filter works easily, and, like
magic, turns the impurest water into a
perfectly colorless and absolutely pure
liquid.
This apparatus is attached to the or
binary water-pipe and filters rapidly. 1t
is Gisplacing the old slow-working filters
