vine service on the evening of Sunday
May oath, from the First NJ E. Church
of Honolulu, a church whose member
ship is wholly American, but whose
pastor was born and educated in Can
ada, married an American lady and
Joined the California Conference of the
M. E. Church, a man of strong Ameri-
can sympathies and who has not been
afraid to declare from his pulpit his
belief that the Great Republic of AM
erica, in all matters of human progress
and human liberty, was the beacon
light of the world"
Our invitation to Camp Wiltze to join
us on that occasion was accepted by
them and arrangements made to join
us at our post room and with us march
in a body to the church. The hour ap-
pointed found the Veterans in line, but
not one Son of Veteran made his ap-
pearance.
On the following morning addressed
a note to Capt. McGrew, commanding
Camp Wiltze, Sons of Veterans, asking
why his camp was not represented at
the church service held for our mutual
benefit, and received from him reply
in substance as follows:
I'm a city where there are several
American pastors of American congre-
cations, and on day so distinctively
American, one of them should have
been selected to deliver the eulogy on
the men who died in defence of their
flag"
L took the ground that the Sunday
evening service was not a part of the
Memorial Day service, but simply re-
ligious service having no political nor
national significance. That the con-
ditions of eligibility to membership in
our order wholly ignore the question
of nationality. That on that Sunday
we take our places in the pews of the
church, as common sinners, and ex-
pect to be preached to as such, eulogies
on the men who have done but their
duty being far from the purpose for
which such Sabbath service was in
tended by the founders of our order.
I would respectfully ask the decision
of our Department Commander whether
the position 1 have taken is correct.
Yours in F.. c: and L,
r. JAY GREENE, P. c.
In response to this, T. c. Masteller,
Department Commander for California

Greene as follows:

SOME MORE PRIYING.

The chaplain Of the national house of
representatives evidently believes that
he is the right man in the right place.
And he also evidently believes in tax
ing public matters to the Lord in pray
|er. He has already attracted some at
tention to himself as a prayer, and he
seems disposed to attract more. Yes
terday he prayed for the success of the
Cuban revolutionists if their cause is
just, and that they might receive such
help from our government as we rightly
may give them. This was a more care
full prayer than his prayer that we
might be ''quick to resent anything like
an insult ITO this our nation but it was
even better received in the house than
that one was. 1t is said that "Amen''
had hardly time to escape his lips when
an outburst of applause came from the
galleries, and the Speaker apparently
forgot to administer his usual rebuke.
The good chaplain bids fair to become
what the reporters call "a feature" He
will be all right as long as he continues
to make his prayers popular. But if he
wishes to continue to be comfortable he
must be careful not to pray for any
thing that this country doesn't want
even though that thing might be good
for it. 1t would surprise and pain him
to hear Kisses and groans from the gall
leries instead of applause. We hope he
will not hear them, and we hope that
his prayers may receive as much ap-
prevail in Heaven as they do in the gal
leries of the house If they do 1t will
show that the great heart of the people
as it beats In those galleries is all right,
and that the good chaplain is all right.

house. But that the children should be
allowed 10 grow up without lnstruc-
ton or discipline, prepared only to lead
a vagabond life, as their fathers and
mothers have done before them, is con-
trary to the first principles of public
order and morality, in the opinion of
the Times. Not that the nomad popu-
latlon has been neglected. Earnest men
have for some years been carrying on
a work among them, even following
their caravans about the country,
There is in England a church mission
van which has bestowed a part of its
labors upon the gypsies, bringing them
under civilizing influences and intro
duclng them to certain principles of
morality of which, it is said, the nomad
population has heretofore displayed a
most astonishing ignorance.

A DTSG listed ,JUDGE.

Judge Beekman OF the New York Su-
preme cour. Is as Disguised with the
procedure in divorce cases as many
other judges are, and he has relieved
his mind by expressing his disgust,
Last week Wednesday," he says, II
had sixty cases on my calendar. / was
simply appalled, then. firmly believe
the procedure in divorce cases should
be changed" Speaking of the nineteen
cases which went through the divorce
hopper in his court this week Wednes-
day. he says: "All the cases to-day,
as we'll as last week, were default
cases. have no power to subpoena
witnesses, and as there are no lawyers
here for the defendant and therefore
no one to cross-examine witnesses, l
ask the witnesses number of questions.
1t is impossible for a judge to get evil
dence Of collision, although I question
as closely as l can. Most Of these per-
sons have no regard for the marriage
relation. They look upon marriage as
something temporary and to be set
aside when they have tired Of the mar
riage state"
Judge Beekman suggests that there
should be in this country an officer cor
responding to the queens proctor in
England, who can investigate any di-
vorce proceeding and learn whether
there has been any collision or fraud
1t is as necessary to guard against
fraud in the dissolution of marriage
relations as in the dissolution of cor
poration The interests of corporations
are sharply guarded by law but the
marriage relation is allowed to be brok-
en- under legal forms which often cover
the grossest fraud.
There is no doubt that the evils COM
planned of by Judge Beekman exist in
many other States as well as in New
York. But it is not probable that the
appointment OF such an officer as the
Judge suggests would greatly diminish
them.

4 BUSINESS WOM4N.

Much has been claimed for the New
Woman in business. 1t has been as
serted that she Is more careful, prompt
and exact in her dealings than the old
man and that her eye is more single
to the main chance than his is. Those
who have believed in her superiority in
these matters can well point with pride
to little business transaction which
Mrs. Alice l.. Nichols, of Pennington,
Utah. had with some burglars the other
day, Mrs. Nichols is the agent Of the
Union Pacific railroad at Pennington.
She transacts all the companys bust
ness at that point, including the sale
of tickets, the collection of freight, and
the handling of the telegraph key. She
lives alone I'M the depot, in a small room
there were some freight collections to
make, and Mrs. Nichols, locking the
door securely, went to attend to the
financial affairs. Upon her return
three burglars were in the depot TAX
ing the money from the cash-dra wer.
Her entrance startled them away, and
they made a rush for the door. But
she shut it with a slam, then placed
her back firmly to it. She demanded
that they return the money they had
stolen, and the cashier of the burglars,
overawed by her determined manner,
fished out s23 and gave it to the plucky
woman. Then when she was putting
the money in her pocket, one Of the
men opened the door suddenly and all
rushed out and beat a hasty retreat
down the track, pursued by Mrs. Mich
OILS. Despite her forty years and cling
ing garments, the woman won the foot
race and overlook the burglars at the
water-tank She demanded that they
return the balance of the money they
had taken. The three burglars escaped
second time, making a break for a
train which had just arrived at the
depot. Conductor Brown and a num-
Der of passengers came to Mrs. Nichols s
assistance, and the men were taken
from the train and given into the Gus
tody of the sheriff. A search of the
| trio revealed the possession of fifteen
cents. When given to Mrs. Nichols,
she said: ''That makes it exactly right
I knew there was precisely s2S.15 in
that drawer"
Good for Sister Nichols She is a
business woman to the backbone Most
men would have been willing to com
promise with the burglars for SIS. Ii
collecting s29.15, the full amount of hel
claim, from them she showed her ability
| to do business.

LEGATION of the Democratic treachery
which resulted in the election of Mr..

councilmen. A smelling committee was
appointed last evening with full power
to find out, il 1t can, who the villain
was that kept the board or councilmen
in session until $3.50 a. m. when he might
have ended the agony by 8 p. m. He

punishment. But his chances of com.

completely as he did that night car
be trusted to take care of himself.

Among the reasons given for asking
that the big national building and
loan association, the American Savings
and Loan association, should be put in
the hands OF a receiver are grossly ex-
fravagant and reckless management.
Among the specifica tons is the charge
that the officers of the association in
vested s202, 900 OF the assets in the Ger
naan-American Fire Insurance company
contrary 20 law, and when directed to
recover this amount, accepted mort
gage for s2S3,o00 on $50 acres of land
which the attorney general of Minneso-
ia says was not actually worth $6S, 900.
Other charges are excessive salaries,
loans improperly made to directors, and
the unlawful use of the association
money to stop the proceedings for a
receiversllip in 1894. Bank Examiner
Kenyon in his report to the attorney
general states that the stock-sales
book cannot be found, although the Of
fcers of the association admitted to him
that they had had such a book The
value of the real estate is alleged to
be at least $3.50, 900 less than the amount
shown in the statement.
