PAT CULLEN, THE SLAYER OF 4
PAKE, is AT LARGE.
Was Trusty and Walked Away-Up
for Five Years from January, 1896
Search Being Made.

Pat Cullen, who killed a Chinaman
on January 25, 1895, in Koolau and
was sentenced to Oahu prison for five
years, made his escape Tuesday after
noon and has not been seen since.
He had the confidence of Jailor Low
and for year has been trusty
around the prison. Mr.. Low saw him
about 4;30 p. III. for the last time. \
little later he walked out of the gate,
donned suit of citizens clothes,
which had been left for him by a sec
ond party, and dropped out of sight.
Cullen's wife is on Kauai and it was
at first supposed he had gone there.
The only boat he could have taken,
however, is the Mi<ahala and Marshal
Brown and two policemen were pas
sengers on her. Besides every sailor
of the AIikahala knows Cullen and
some would give him away. Some
think he has left the Koolau side in
a small boat for Kauai. Others of his
friends believe the missing man is try
ing to make his escape to the Coast.
All outgoing vessels will be carefully
watched.
Deputy Marshal Hitchcock is insti-
tuting a live search for Cullen. Up to
noon today no clues had been found
The Deputy Marshal says that he is
in possession of no evidence as yet
that Cullen was assisted by a well
known young man of Honolulu. He
was seen talking with friend on Sun
day for some time and also yesterday
afternoon just outside of the walls
Young Cullen has some property on
the islands. His people are quite well
to do.

MRS. JOHN w. FOSTER A GUEST
AND A SPEAKER.
Interested in the Work-Kindergar
Mention-Paper on Labor With In
dians-Southern Report.

The Woman's Board of Missions met
in regular session in the parlors of the
Central Union church yesterday after.
noon. There was very large attend
ance of the ladies and considerable
routine business was gone over.
In making her report of the contri-
buttons made during the meeting to
aid the board in its work, Mrs B. f.
Dillingham;, the treasurer, acltnowl-
edged a collection of $3.50. Mother
Cooke, who had taken a great deal of
interest in missionary work, gave her
check for $500 of this amount
Mrs. John W. Foster, wife of the
eX-Secretary of State of the United
States, was present and made some
very happy remarks. She said that
she was very much gratified with the
good work being accomplished by the
ladies of Honolulu for she knew that
their labors were most effective. Mrs.
Foster is largely identified with mis-
sionary work in the States. Her
daughter is at present engaged in the
kindergarten work.
\ very interesting paper on mission
airy life among the Indians in America
was read by Mrs. +. A. Jones. The
speaker talked from accurate knowl-
edgs and gave a clear account of the
progress made with the red men. Mrs.
Jones stated the missionaries were
fairly successful in their undertaking
until the United States Government
withdrew it's assistance. At the pres
ent time the schools and churches for
Indians have not near the attendance
that they formerly had. The mis-
sionaries are still in the field, and hope
that perseverance and enlightenment
will be reward for their services.
Mrs. C. NJ. Hyde told of the hard
ships endured by the missionaries on
the island of Ponape in the early days.
These Christian people had been driv-
en- off of the island several years ago
and have been constantly refused ad-
mission until recently. \ new COVER
nor is more kindly disposed to the mis-
sionaries. The Spanish Government
has summoned this governor lately,
Mrs. Hyde said, and it is now feared
that he will be removed on account of
his action in this matter.
The reports of the various church
societies were heard. Mention was
made of the dedication of the new
Portuguese church on Sunday. The
