TAROENA.
The New Food for Infants and
Invalids.

The New Food for Infants and
Invalids.
An industry which has taken on new
life during the past year is the manu-
facture of Taroena, or what has been
known as taro flour. The works of the
company are located at Wailuku, Maui,
and the demand for the article has
grown until many physicians look upon
taro as an Invaluable food, especially
suited to dyspeptics In the Hawaiian
Islands taro in its natural state is the
national food, and the excellent health
of the Hawaiians is attributed in a
degree to its general use The idea of
making it into flour was conceived
some years ago, and it has been used
as an infants food with pronounced
success since then.
Lately the company has increased its
capital stock with a view to increasing
the sale of the article in the United
States and the British Colonies. The
fact that Taroena is easily assimilated
and digested makes it invaluable in the
sick room, and this fact has Influenced
the company to increase the capacity
and make TaToena a medicinal food.
About 10 tons have been shipped to
the States during the past six months.
The headquarters of the company is
in Honolulu, and T. W. Hebron is the
general manager. He attends to all
the orders received here, and sees as
well to the prompt shipment. In the
United States the main Office will be
in ST. Joseph, Mich. This is town
about so miles from Chicago. 1t is an
excellent shipping point, and rent and
help is very reasonable. The company
has secured a large two story, brick
building, which will be the headquart-
ers. The flour will be shipped there in
bulk and put up into packages and
boxes for shipment The office will be
in charge of Mr. W. F. Sesser, who is
a man of considerable advertising eX-
perience, push and enterprise. He has
been here twice, and his knowledge OF
the Islands and people will enable him
to have fine line of argument in talk
ing up the merits OF taroena.
Mr.. Hebron is enthusiastic over the
prospects. In speaking of the merits
of taroena, he said yesterday:

MUCH SENTIMENT

Produced by a Flat Denial of An Asser-
 tion alt Eagle Lake Assembly.
 Eagle Lake IrId., May 22.-"There is no truth in that statement" These were the words that greeted an assertion made on the floor of the Presbyterian general assembly his afternoon. They were ut tered by Dr. Wilmer Phraner, a member c5 the beard of home missions in New York, and were directed against the al- legation of Rev. J. F. Knowles, Of Mount Carmel, H., who jocosely styled himself "EHEha'S SuccesSSr.' The staltemert thus denied was to the effect that one of tfB5 secretaries of the home mission board in New York was receiving two salaries one from the board and one from a friend. The denial was explicit, alleging that the statement that the mission board occu- pied quarters costing $25,00O annually. neV-r was true and are not now true. On the offer of the original speaker to give his. authority there came the most serious parliamentary tangle of the ses- sion- The modera tor ruled the offer to given authority for the statement out of order Appeals from this decision were taken arl1 sustained. The authority was then stated to be member of the com- mittee from the syrod of Illinois and IHS,ana, who went to New York to confer with the board of home missions upon tIe work of the board, but his name was with he'd After adjournment considerab bIe Indignation was expressed by various commissioners

Savannah Ga, May 22.-Chr'ist church, the oldest church of Georgia, founded by John Wesley before he promulgated the Methodist faith, was burned almost to the. ground shoTly after midnight. The fire was discovered shortly after F o'clock and it spread rapidly. It is supposed to have originated from gas jet left burn ing by some member of the choir which held a practice ehere tonight. It con- tained all the records of Savannah and practically of Georgia slice 1S65 most of which are a total loss.
 The church cost about $25,000 and about as much more has been spent upon it. The price set upon the building and lot recently was $100,000. It is only partially covered by insurance.
 Christ church, standing on Bull street, fronting Johnson square, is the mother church of the Episcopal communion in Georgia. Christ church parish was founded soon after the settlement of Sa vannah. The first edifiee was begun in 1743, but was not completed until 1750. In. 1796 it was destroyed by firesand was rebuilt upon an enlarged plan in 1S03 The next year it was partially demolished by a hurricane and was not rebuilt until 1S10 In 1888 the corner stone of the present edifice was laid, the old church having been torn down, and the building was completed in 1S40.

Is Commissioner Calhoun in the Ruiz
 Case--Now at Halt
 Havana, May 22, via Key West, Fla The investigation by Commissioner w. B. Calhoun in the matter of the death of Dr. Ruiz is not proceeding rapidly. On Thursday Dr. Congesto, the Spanish consul at Philadelphia. asserted that Dr. Ruiz did not eplain that he was an Amer ican citizen, and therefore was kept in- communicate for more than seventy-two hours. General Lee, on hearing this, promptly and .emphatically stated that on February 6 he sent official notice to Marshal Ahumada, acting captain gen. eral, to the effect that Ruiz was an Amer ican citizen and that he demanded his treaty rights. It appears that Senor Congesto ignored this fact.
 The investigation will not proceed fur ther until the Spanish representatives have approved the written statement of Consul General Lee as to the scope of in quiry the Americans desiring to go fur ther than the Spanish deem necessary. There is little hope that facts bearing directly on the death of Dr. Ruiz will be clicited It is thought, however, that ar arrangements will be made for allowing the inquiry to proceed Monday.

THE CUBAN QUESTION

Being Thought Over Calmly by McKin-
 ley-Confers With Leaders.
 Washington, May 22.-To set at rest the common expectation that a more or less sensational report upon the situa- ton in Cuba Is looked for any day by the president, it may be stated it is not part of the understanding under which MT. Calhoun went to Havana that he is to make report by mail or indeed at all, until he returns to Washington, and then his observations may be communicated to the president verbally and not in an official form, for it is a fact that MT. Calhoun's only official duty is an investi- gation of the Ruiz case.
 Speaker Reed was at the state depart ment today and conferred for some time with Secretary Sherman, presumably touching the legislative prospects of the Morgan resolution. An interview be- tween the president and Senator Bur- rows, who has taken a strong position in resistance to the resolution at this time, gives evidence that the Cuban situation is occupying a large share of the atten- tion of the administration. The stormy events at Madrid yesterday have not es- capped observation, and there is some ap- prehs nsion of reflex action in Cuba.

LIVELY DEBATE SPRUNG UP In the Assembly at Charlotte On
 tile Subject WOMEN USING THE PULPIT Vigorous and Intense Protest Against Such By Dr. Smoat-COnSIderabIe Feeling at
 Eagle Lake Over an Assertion.

Charlotte May 22.-In the assembly this afternoon the committee on bills and overtures made a partial report. They recommended that women be forbidden the use of the pulpit for public addresses to mixed audiences and that it be pro- nounced to be improper to give notices of such meetings. This caused a lively debate
 Dr.. Pitzer took the position that while the Bible forbade female preaching, it did not forbid all kind of public teach ing by women.
 Dr. Walden and pr. Smoat strongly advised the adoption of the report
 The assembly was prompt in assem- bling. Today, again, at 3:30 D. m. sharp all commissioners were in their seats. The discussion as to whether women should lecture from the pulpit to mixed audiences was resumed, Dr. Smoat hay ing the floor. He made a lengthy, strong and witty address in opposition. He re- gards women featuring from the pulpit as unscriptural and degrading. He re- gards 1t as wedge awards the church sloughing off, not question of courtesy, refinement of culture, but a Scriptural question; thus saith the Lord it is departure from the Bible. Such women Christ does not need in his work. Dr.
 
 Drs Maiden, Venable and Waltham followed in the same line. pr. Pietzer of Washington, could see no impropri- ety in women missionaries testifying on their return from foreign lands The discussion included number of lengthy speeches and occupied a great part of the day.
 Dr. Beattie, from whose presbytery CWest Lexington, Ky.) the subject came up, offered a substitute:
 That the assembly refer overtures to former clear deliverances which settle the principles and which should guide Us in all our church seslsons and in all pro- eeedure.
 The vote being called for on the sub stltute, it was carried by a vote of T to 62.
 The communioa ton from the prohfbi- ton party of North Carolina in reference to some utterances of the assembly along This line provoked heated argument. The committee on bills and overtures to which ao had been referred, reported as follows:
 That this assembly is forbidden to in- termeddle win political parties or ques- fions, and that the constant and Script ural attitude of our beloved church on temperance and 1ntempera nee are shown 1n past deliverances on record" (Alex- anaers digest, 365.) The report of the committee was after much debate and discussion, adopted. . Dr. Dabney addressed the assembly this afternoon on "Minie,e erial Educa- ton"
 The assembly then adjourned until Monday morning.
