Officers of the Boys Brigade Banquet
Their Presidents.
The large dining-room of the Young
Mems Christian Association building rang
with music and laughter Monday evening,
tor the officers of the First California
Brigade of the Boys Brigade of America
were banqueting with their lady friends.
The room was simply decorated with the
national colors, and some big punches of
flowers lent their beauty and fragrance to
the dining tables, but the brightest decora-
tons of all were the gay uniforms of the
officers, the pretty toilets of the ladies and
the happy faces of the 200 or more guests
who partook of the feast.

THE INCOME TAX DECISION
1t Was Expected by the Local
Internal Revenue Of
fiCerS.
Collector Welburn Received Nc
Money and Will Soon Close
the Business.

The news that the income-tax law had
been declared unconstitutional was re-
ceived here about noon Monday, and it
created little comment, as it was generally
expected. Those who were directly af-
fected by the law were of course pleased,
but those who are not rich enough to pay
tax merely said: Another blunder of
the Cleveland administration.
Work in the office of the Collector of In
ternal Revenue was at standstill nearly
all day, as the decision was hourly ex-
pected. No official news was received by
Collector Welburn but he expects a tele-
gram to-day. All the men in the local In
ternal Revenue Office were confident that
the law would be declared unconstitu-
tional, even those who will lose their posi-
tions by the decision. As soon as Collector
cision he will discharge the six men whom
he specially employed to attend to income
| tax business.
| 1t is probable that all the papers from
persons and corporations fortunate or un-
| fortunate enough to have to make out
| statements of their wealth and income will
be shipped to Washington without delay.
They Will probably be destroyed there, so
| that all the secrets of the wealthy will go
| up in smoke.
There will not be much trouble in this
| City over the change in the law. Quite a
number of people came to Collector We'll
| their income tax. Collector Welburn re-
fused to accept the money, and instructed
| the deputies in his district to follow his
example. Therefore it will take little or
| no time to clean up all the income-tax
| business in this district.

SGHLAIIER "IHE MESSIAH. 2"
Denver Man who Don't Take Much
Stock in Him,
Although He Says the Healer" has
Done a Lot of Good Of a Certain
Kind-Cures People Who Think
They Are Sick, but Who Are
Really Wei.

New York, December In view of
the reports that Schlatter, the heal
err" may soon appear in New York, the
Rev. A C. Peck, director of the Hay
market mission, of Denver Col, visit
ing in The East. was asked tonight
what he thought of Schlatter, who had
been posing as the Messiah in Den
yer.
We'll" said Mr.. Peck, with laugh,
"Schlatter is an odd genius, any way
YOU take him. | believe ne is perfectly
sincere. OF course, l do not believe
HE is DIVINE.
His words and actions leave no eX-
PLANTATION except that he is daft.
The Rev. Mr.. Peck said ne believed
Schlatter, notwithstanding his delu-
sion, has done a lot OF good, and
added:
He has made a lot of people who
were perfectly well, certain OF that
fact. and that is worth a good deal.
In every city there are plenty Of peo-
pie who think they are sick when they
are not. Schlatter makes these people
think they are cured, which is
JUST AS BENEFICIAL
as if they were. No, I never saw any
of his cures. although l have heard Of
them. l have had people whom | know
tell me he had cured them Of different
things. but | had not previously known
they we're sick. Some of them claimed
relief from rheumatism. 1t certainly
had not been sufficiently severe to
make them limp"
Mr.. Peck says he has been told, too,
that Scblatter possesses some magical
power. II never took his hand my
self" said Mr.. Peck, but I have been
told that he communicates a kind Of
electric shock by contact, phenomena
which l believe is not uncommon. But
I believe that the great crowds hocked
TO him had more influence on the
credulous than anything else"

STRUCK A FROST.
Northwestern Folks Didn't Turn Out
to Hear Senator Hill Lecture and
he has Given Up the Venture.

Minneapolis, Mimi, December l.
Senator David B. Hilrs lecture in the
northwest has proved a failure and
came to an abrupt end to-day, when the
Senator closed his business arrange
ments with his manager, cancelled all
further engagements anu returned to
New York, with the reason assigned for
THIS action that he contracted a severe
cold while at Duluth, making him ad-
verse to further public speaking at
present. The fact is, however, that the
audiences which gathered to listen to
him at Milwaukee, Minneapolis, St.
Paul and Duluth were so meagre that
the financial returns were insufficient
TO pay expenses. and Senator Hill re-
fused to talk for nothing. He lectured
last night Duluth, and came TO Min
neapolis this morning He was booked
for ten lectures altogether. The ar
rangements for the lecture tour were
made by Minneapolis parties Before
leaving the city tonight Senator Hill
declined to be interviewed, and was
evidently much disguised with the re-
cep-ion he had met with while on this
tour.

A BAD MAN
Shot to Death by a Posse Of Kentuck-
ians-He Had Killed His Wife and
an Officer, and Wounded two
Others.

Louisville, KY, December IA spec
ial to the Courier Journal from Gym
thiana, KY, says: Murderer Orville
Eals, while resisting arrest by a posse
to-day, was shot to death after he had
butchered his wife, killed an officer and
badly wounded two other men. Eals
was a farmer, living near Brownings-
vile, and his wife deserted him for
John Fields, tenant on the place.
Eals induced his wife 10 return on
Tuesday and killed Fields Eals, who
defed arrest, was well armed and took
refuge in a hut. A large posse came
upon the hut last night, and to-day at
dawn the attack was made. When the
rush was made from the heavy timber
Eals began firing. A man named Nc
COOmbs fell mortally wounded, and two
men named Wells and Herbert were
seriously shot. The storming party ef-
fected an entrance to the hut and a
horrible sight met their gaze On the
floor lay the mutilated body OF Mrs.
Eals, almost nude and covered with
ugly wounds, while near by lay a bloody
hatchet with which she had been killed.
The posse had fired a fusillade of shots
as they entered the hut, and Eals was
shot to pieces.

New York. December 1.-The Rev.
Robert Stewart Macarthur delivered a
sermon in the Calvary Baptist Church
to-right on THE responsibility of Kali
akaua and Liliuokalani."
After referring 70 the CHARACTERISTICS
Of the Hawa.ians, whom he pronounced
good-hearted and generous people he
quoted figures TO show the falling OF in
the number OF Christian converts among
natives since the reign OF Kamehameha
Fifth who removed all restraint from
the Hula masters and the Kahuna in
fuence and thereby aided
THE SPREAD IDOLATRY.
From 1888. when missionaries first
visited the Islands, to 1S4S, $1,000 con-
verts to Christianity were made. Twen-
ty thousand more converts joined the
Christian standard within the next
twenty years, and in 1863 1t became nee
esary to put some restraint on the OFF,
cials. because they were almost forcing
the people into adopting the Christian
religion. Shortly after this a crisis was
prec,pitated, and the churches were con-
sidered as Independent organizations.
This action was unfortunate in its re-
suits.
In 1888 there were only 5,235 converts
among the natives in the islands and
within the next three or four years the
number was still further decreased.
This
ALARMING FALLING OFF
was not to be ascribed wholly 10 the
large decrease in the native population.
In the early days the people were gov
erned by chiefs, who materially aided
the missionaries; but after the passing
away of these tribunal rulers, no au-
thority whatever was exercised in favor
Of religion. Among the causes which
the preachers held responsible for the
reaction in the spread of Christianity
in the Islands, was the rise of the Kah
una and the Hula masters. The former
Is form of superstit.ous worship and
the latter kind Of priest, who favored
the practice of idolatrous ceremonies.
The worst forms of heathenism were
revived under Kalakaua, who formed
the Hula Mana society. He also en-
couraged the heather dancing, and
LET LOOSE THE MONSTER
of drunkenness and lewdness He was
a man utterly devoid of principle, the
preacher said. 1t was related of him
that he once accepted of a Chinaman a
bribe of $4,000, for which he granted
the Celestial the exclusive right TO sell
opium on the islands. A few days later
he gave the same privilege TO another
Chinaman for SS0000 leaving the two
men to fight it out between themselves.
Liliuokalani, who succeeded her broth
er, Kalakqua, was little better than he
was. On July 14th, 1893, she proclaim
ed her intention of forming a new con-
stitution. The majority Of the residents
Of the island told her not to meddle
with the constitution, or she would 90.
She declared that she would meddlo
with It, and she went, and she
NEVER RETURNED TO POWER.
DR.. Macarthur said that he had great
hopes for the Hawaiians, now that they
were in enjoyment Of a pure and free
government. He euloglzed the officers
OF state, who are administering the af-
fairs of the people.
They were good Christian men," he
exclaimed, "and their government is
the purest in the world to-day

Quoting an investigation into the i'm
moralities alleged to have occurred at
Ellis Island recently No public re-
port has been made concerning the mat
ter. but it is understood that a number

Island immigration Bureau in a minor
capacity. have been accused of wrong
doings. some of the young women who
have been detained at the island by the
local immigration commissioners, pend
ing Investigation into their cases, be-
ing also accused of immoralities. The
story first came out through the confess
sion of night watchman, who b0asted
of an inTigues with Miss Annie n.
Grimmer, a gOVernesS from Bremen,
Germany. Miss Grimmer eloped with
a we'll known architect Of Bremen. The
architect was permitted to land. as he
had relatives in New York, but the
young woman was held pending an in
vestigatiOn. Before the Board Of Spe
cial Inquiry had reported on her case,
the boasts of the watchman reached the
ears of his superiors, and Miss Grim
mer. being deemed an immoral char
acter. was sent back to Germany. Sew
eral cases of a similar nature have since
been discovered, and the immigration
commissioners are now trying to de-
termine the extend to which the service
has been affected by the misconduct of
subOrdinates.
