REV. c. o. BROWN ACQUITTED.

Practically Exonerated of the Charges Made
by Mrs. Davidson.
SAN FRANCISCO, March IL DIR. Brown
is acquitted of the charges of adultery and
unministerial conduct by the church coun-
Gil which tried his case. The council ex-
cused Dr.. Browns actions after the
charges had been made made public on ac-
count of his quick temper. With regard
to the young lady who it is alleged he
threatened, the council says: eve find
his conduct to have violated all rules
which should control the actions of a
gentlemen and Christian minister, and we
censure him for it, while we gladly rccog-
nize the kindly and manly words of APP
probation and rcparation offered by him
to the young lady in our presence"
The council says DE- Browns explana-
ton of the payment of money to Mrs. Da-
wilson is unsatisfactory, but there is not
trace Of suspicion in the minds of the
council concerning the hitherto STAIN
less reputation Of DIR. Brown. Brown
and his friends consider the verdict q
complete vindication.

SALISBURY REPLIES TO RoseeERy

Tells the Liberal Leader Why Troops Are
Going Up the Nile.
LONDON, March lS.-The marquis of
Salisbury, in the house of lords, replying
to question from Lord Rosebery, said
that the advance Of British Egyptian
troops up the Nile WAS undertaken after
con.muni cations had been received on the
subject from the Egyptian and Italian
governments. The Egyptian government,
the premier added, had represented to tho
government of her majesty tho dangers
with which Egypt was threatened through
the advance of the Dervishes and the or.
ders given coincided with the wishes of
Egypt
PARIS. March 1S.-The minister for for.
eign affairs, NJ. Berthlett, announced at a
cabinet council held yesterday that he had
asked the British ambassador, the mar
quis of Dufferin, for information regard
ing the proposed advance Of British
Egyptian troops up the Nile and stated
that he had pointed out to tho ambassador
the serious consequences of such an ad-
vance. There is no question that the
French government looks with suspicion
upon this move of the British. There is
no source irritation to French diplomacy,
save German occupation of Alsace- Lor-
raine, SO grcats as British occupation of
Egypt, and the British move also in
French eyes, threatens French interests
further south in Africa

We have been sitting on
/ the ragged edge of a damp
cloud for the past two weeks,
contemplating the result in
/ the event of the non-arriVal
of the S. q. Wilder, with our
cut glass ware and other ar
ticleS which we had selected
for the holiday trade. Yes
terday the tension on our
nervous system relaxed; the
Wilder arrived and twenty
four hours after this goes
into print, we will have a
display of fine goods on our
counters, such as never was
seen here before.
The additional space re-
quired has been obtained by
doubling up on our show
counters, making new ones
and changing around some
of the old ones on the second
floor. We're ready for busi-
ness and the number of sales
of holiday goods we have
made during the past three
weeks conStrainS us to be-
lieve that the business is
ready for us.
By the Wilder we have all
kinds of things suitable for
Christmas gifts. Many of
them are in cut glass, and
they comprise: Saucers, Salad
Rose Bowls, Pickle
Jars, Butter Tubs and Plates,
Ice Cream Trays, DecanterS,
Lemonade Sets, Individual

Frawley Company's Departure for
San Francisco on Mariposa.

/ The Frawley Company will long re-
member the farewell that was given
them aboard the Mariposa yesterday by
/ the representative people of Honolu-
/ lu. The decks of the steamer were so
| crowded that there was hardly room
| to pass, and nearly every person who
went TO make up that large gathering.
possessed either a lei or a bunch of
] flowers for some member of the Fraw-
/ ley Company.
! All but Miss Blanche Bates. Messrs.
T. Daniel Frawley and Frank Worth
ing arrived quite a while before the de-
parture of the Mariposa, and found
much pleasure in a few pleasant words
with the many friends they have made
and the music of the Hawaiian Band
stationed on the wharf.
Miss Bates and Messrs. Frawley and
Worthing arrived just a few minutes
before the departure of the steamer,
and were forced to remain at the foot
of the gangway until the ropes were
being united, for there were a large
number of people waiting to smother
them with flowers
AS the MaripOSa hauled away from
the wharf the members of the FrawIey
Company were scattered about here
and there on the deck, but just as she
was making the turn, they ran up as
far forward as possible, collected in a
little group and waved aloha with the
silk Hawaiian flags which had been
given them at the Hawaiian Hotel on
the evening before. 1t was indeed a
pretty sight to see them, laden as they
were with bright flowers and smiling
so happily at their friends on shore.
Little Hope Ross was not ashamed to
let people see how she felt about leav-
ing Honolulu, and when no longer able
to repress her feelings, she had a good
cry, and then looked up smilingly
again.
Honoluluites will be glad to welcome
back again to their midst the Frawley
Company, who during the last three
weeks have given them so many pleas |
ant evenings evenings spent in the |
atmosphere of elevating
plays.

HOW EASTER DAY is FIXED.

1t has been over !, 500 years since the
rule was adopted which makes Easter
the first Sunday after the first full
moon after the sun crosses the line"
Ply this arrangement of things, Easter
may come as early as March %, or as.
late as April 25, but must forever oscil-
late between the dates mentioned.
The word Easter" is said to be from
the German "oster," (rising), and is
the Christian passover or festival of the
resurrection of Christ. The English
name for the day is probably derived
from that of the old Teutonic goddess
Osten,whose festival occurred at about
the same time as our celebration of
Easter. The proper time for celebrat-
ing the festival was theme which gave
rise to much heated discussion among
carly Christians. The question was
fully considered and finally settled at
the council of Nice, 325 A. d., by adopt
ing the rule which makes it fall upon
the first Sunday after the first full
moon occurring after March 81. During
the present century Easter has fallen
from one to four times on every date be-
tween March 90 and April 25, except
March 81, which has been skipped en-
