The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1894-01-04

ID. w. Burnett IL the owner of a piece of
land on the American river, near Salmon
Falls, in FL Dorado county. The river bed
there, for 100 or 200 yards, had never been
mined. Some Chinese made him an offer
to lease this land for mining purposes for
two years, offering to pay him 800 for
the use thereof. This was declined. The
Chinese were persistent, though, and af-
ter bartering for awhile Mr.. Burnett told
them they could have the land for the
time stated for $3.50, one-half ~ be paid
in advance and the balance at the end OF
the year.
The offer was accepted, and Mr.. Bur
nett was congratulating himself on his
bargain and considered the s75 to have
come into his possession easily.
He was not long in changing his mind.
As soon as the lease was signed the Chi
nese began to work A force of Is or 90
men were employed by them. A wing
dam was built and wheel and other ap-
parntus put up there, the cost of which
was not over 800 or $500.
About three days after 1t was rumored
that the mine was producing 81 500 day
An investigation disclosed the fact that
the heather had sent away s., 800 worth
of dust within week after they began
work. Several thousand dollars worth
of dust was also disposed of In Chinatown
and handed over TO one of the, Chinese
merchants here.--Folsom Telegraph.

Hans savings as Legislator.

A Pennsylvania senator told the other
day an anecdote to illustrate the high
standard Of political morality in the Key
stone State. There was an old Dutchman,
II farmer, thrifty and prosperous, who had
been carefully saving for many years. FL
nally he was elected to the Legislature It
was a peculiarly profitable session. There
were several railroad charters up for con-
sideration. Hans served faithfully, never
broke silence, and always voted; and aft
er the legislature had adjourned, surprised
his friends at home by laying the founda-
tion of a ~ 900 house, while there were
rumors Of SEQ 900 bank deposit.
"Have you had legacy, Hansf" asked
a neighbor at last
"Oh, no." was the reply. "I have only
been saving"
's3ut how could you manage to save
$50, 900 on three months salary of IS a
day'"
"Ah," responded Hans complacently,
that was very easy. You see my wife
didn't keep no hired girl last winter. -

There were quite elaborate decorations
at the Methodist Episcopal church,
bank OF potted plants filling the chancel,
Easter eggs resting on the posts OF the
altar rail, a beautiful painting, represent
ing the dawn of the first Easter morning,
on the wall above the bankioi flowers, with
appropriate Scripture notices on either
side. The exercises were in the form Of
an Easter missionary service by the sun
day school, the program, prepared by the
missionary secretaries OF the church, con e.
sisting OF responsive readings, Rotations
ana music designed to inspire to greater
activity in the cause of missions through
out the world. The general subject was
the conversion Of the world to Christ, based
upon a quotation from n recent statement
of Bishop Newman. "The boldest propo-
sition ever submitted TO the human mind
is the conversion of the world to Christ"
The exercises closed with brief address
from the pastor, showing the appropriate
ness Of an Easter Missionary Service in the
fact that the great commission to the
church to go into the world and preach
the Gospel to every creature, was Christ's
Resurrection Commission.

CongregationaI Church.

The services for Easter Sunday at the
congregational church were peculiarly APP
propriate for that denomination, as the
exercise OF singing and responsive read
ing was largely for the whole congrega
tion. The sermon, anthems and readings
were in harmony with the central thought
of Easter day, the resurrection of Jesus
Christ. The flower committee of the Y.
p. s. G. e. had charge of the floral deco
rations, which consisted of large mound
which were four beautiful Gala lilies.
Aside from the mound were vines and a
lar1e bouquet OF dollhouse roses. Ore lit
tie flower had only that morning opened
its white petals amid the ice and snow

st. Johns Church

The Easter service IN st. Johns church
was attended by a larger congregation
than usual. The Holy Communion was
celebrated and a sermon on the resurrec-
ton was preached by the rector. The
church was tastefully and beautifully dec
GRATED by the young ladies OF the Junior
Auxiliary. a pyramid of blossoming
potted plants stood in the aisle in front Of
the chaneel platform, and in the front and
by the organ and on the reliable there was
profusion of beautiful flowers. At the
Sunday school service Immediately fol-
lowing, there was an address by the rec
tor, and an offering by the school for
foreign and domestic missions. IL is ex-
pected that the combined Easter offerings
OF the Sunday schools of the Church for
this object will amount to 100000 Easter
cards and booklets were presented to the
younger scholars. The attendance has
more than doubled during the past year
and the outlook for the school is prov is
ing.

Christian Church.

Easter Day at the Christian church was
celebrated by q large congregation tho
the exercises were not exceptionally unus-
ual. There was a beautiful display OF
flowers adjoining the pulpit platform and
desk, and a large golden egg resting on a
stand that was decked with a trailing
vine. Extra music, both in quantity ana
quality, was furnished by the choir, they
singing four anthems in the course Of the
service. A large number Of children were
present and the pastor gave them a talk
of some fifteen minutes length, especially
dwelling upon the story OF the child Je-
sus and the pure and holy manhood into
which He developed; His life of service
for all men about him and throughout
the world; His love for children and His
beautiful exhurtation, "Suher the chill
dren to come unto Me and forbid them
not, for of such is the kingdom of heav-
:" His final death on the cross at the
hands of those who did not love Him. His
burial and, on that Easter day nearly
nineteen hundred years ago, His resur-
reCtion. The speaker spoke Of some Gus
toms that have prevailed in connection
with the day, especially the gathering of
Easter eggs and sending them, colored, TO
neighbors and friends. The sermon fol.
lowing the talk to the children was brief
and pointed, emphasizing the fact that
the world broods too much on Jesus
death and not enough on his life-too
much on His burial and not enough on
His resurrection, and that too many
Christians, by their gloom and sadness, re
mind one of the dissecting table and GEM
etery rather than of the fullness of life in
Christ.
