RECEPTION TO MRS. G0WAN
rendered By the Members of the
Chinese Church.

Yesterday evening the members
and congregation of st. Peters
Chinese chapel, adjoining st. An
drew's Cathedral, rendered a recep-
ton in the Sunday school room to
Mrs. Gowan, wife of the Rev. II. Fl.
Gowan, who is at present on visit
to ST. Andrews Priory. The inter
ior of the schoolroom was most
tastefully decorated with flags and
colored lanterns. At one end of
the room were hung the Chinese
and British flags, with transpar-
ency in the center on which was in
scribed the word Welcome" The
members of the Chinese congrega-
ton, which was founded by the
Rev. Mr.. Gowan, have always held
him in the highest esteem, and
deeply regretted his departure from
the Islands. To show their aloha
this reception was rendered to Mrs.
Gowan, and she must have been
gratified to see such large attend
ance, for the schoolroom was quite
filled. A committee of Chinese
waited on Mrs. Gowan and escorted
her from the Priory to the school
room. There were also present the
Bishop of Honolulu and Mrs. Will
Lis, Mrs. Flewelling, of Vancouver,
Rev. V. H. Kitcat, Miss Armstrong,
Miss Danford, Mr.. and Mrs. J.
Bush, Sisters Beatrice and Alder
tina, and several of the older pupils
from the Priory.
The Bishop, in a few words, in
troduced Mrs. Gowen, and then
spoke of Mr.. Governs laying the
foundation of the Chinese work in
connection with st. Peters chapel,
and also of the work Mr.. Gowen is
doing in New Westminster, where
he is at present located. The fol-
lowing programme was then rem
dered:
Piano Duet-Misses Cook and Moss
man.
Hymn-"Progress of the Gospel"
Chinese congregation.
Recitation-"Wel Mrs. Gowen."
All Yet and All va.
Address-Mr. T. All Hung.
Chorus-sThe Wood Thrush"
Pupils of ST. Andrews Priory.
Duet-Violoncello and piano - Mr..
Wray Taylor and Rev. V. III.
Kitcat.
Hymn-"Jesus our Shepherd"
Chinese congregation.
Address-Rev. zee Bew.
Chorus-"Nawell."
Pupils of st. Andrews Priory.
Mr.. Chang Chow had charge of
the entertainment, and acquitted
himself with much credit. Mr..
Ahung, in the course of his re-
marks, asked Mrs. Gowen to carry
home with her their best wishes
and aloha to her husband. During
the evening Mrs. Gowen was pre-
sented with a handsomely en-
broidered Chinese tablecloth and a
pretty bouquet. Through the
Bishop, she thanked them all for
their kind present and entertain
ment. Refreshments, consisting of
ice cream and cake were handed
around, after which the very pleas
ant evening was brought to close
by the singing of Hawaii Ponoi."

Ancient Stationers.

In medieval times the stationarius, or
stationer, held official connection with a
university and sold at his stall, or sta
ton, the books written or copied by the
hbrarius, or book writer. Such is the
origin of the modern term stationer, one
who now keeps for sale implements of
such service, and not usually the pro-
auctions of literary persons.-Harper's
Bazaar

The cruel assassination of President
Carnot OF France was after all the legit-
innate outcome of the teachings of an
archy, to which there is today too
strong leaning in his country on the
part of men who consider themselves
good citizens. The murderer of Carnot
was a baker by trade, known as Il dan
gerous anarchist, and delivered lect-
ures of the widest character before 60
ing to Switzerland last year. There no
longor seems any doubt that the assas-
sination is the result of a plot to avenge
the deaths of Valiant and Henry, the
recently executed anarchists. Presi-
den Carnot was one of the most liberal,
progressive and statesmanlike of the
European rulers, and his; taking off
gives cause for keenest regret among
all real lovers of civilization.

The writer responded TO the address
Of welcome on behalf OF the city of
Mitchell to thu South Dakota Populists
and told some earnest truths as he sees
them and is scored by the same press

The address Of welcome on behalf of
the city OF Mitchell was made BY a
staunch Republican, who appreciated
the requirements of the situation suffi-
GENTLY to give his remarks no political
flavor whatever. Loucks in beginning
his reply admitted that the etiquette of
the occasion prevented him from maxi
ing a political speech, and said that he
had no intention of SO doing-and then
he swung out into one of his favorite
harangues. That is what he is criti-
cised for and not for any truths he
might accidentally have uttered.

The Present Financial Condition Of the
Government Discussed.
w WAsH1NaToN. June 27.-The presi-
dent, in speaking of the financial stu
alton. said to an Associated Press rep
resentative:
''The offer of certain Of tho New
York banks to replace from their vaults
the gold withdrawn from the govern
ment's treasury for shipment abroad is
certainly thoughtful and patriotic. It
not only tends to maintain the treas
ury's gold reserve in good condition,
but it adds to the stock Of popular con-
fidence, which is at all times important.
The elements which make up our actual
situation do not justify any apprehen-
sion, and the administration still ad-
heres to its pledge and determination to
Protect Our National Credit
at all hazards, and to keep the quality
of our money equal to the best, so far
as the limits of executive power per-
mits.
"Of course croaking and the spread
of disquieting tales is calculated to in
jure the stringent financial condition.
I assume, however, that there is too
much patriotism among our people and
too much familiarity with our resources
and capabilities to permit our reserved
forces and financial vigor to be discped-
tied. When the last government bonds
were issued to replenish our stock OF
gold it was nearly as low as now, while
outside of our gold we had as available
money to pay ordinary expenses of the
government only about SIS, 200, 900. We
have now besides our gold, and in
money applicable to government ex-
penses,
More Than oB3, ,OOO. 900.
I understand it is charged in certain
quarters that the payment of mstured
obligations is postponed to the amount
of $50,0O0,O00 or $75, 900, 900. This is
not true. We are paying as we go in
the usual way. Last year, up to June,
the balance against us arising from the
exports and imports of merchandise,
excluding gold and silver, was $64, 552,-
O4O. The balance in our favor for the
same period this year twas $62, $500, ,56s,
representing change in our favor of
$l27, ,512,608. These conditions, taken
In consideration with the willingness of
our banks to help the treasury during
any temporary and unusual drain of
gold, ought to satisfy the most con-
servative of our safety.
''It must not be forgotten as another
favorable feature in the situation that
we are no longer purchasing silver OF
issuing gold obligations therefor"
