MEETING OF PASTORS.

Gets Down to Work.
The annual meeting of pastors and

churches of the Islands assembled in
Kawaiahao Church yesterday morning
at 10 o'clock. After the usual prelim-
mary devotional exercises. Rev. S. Ke-
kuewa. of Kohala, was chosen moder-
ator, and Rev. S. L. Desha scribe. The
usual standing committees were ap-
pointed, and the morning hour was
spent in reading the statistical reports
from the different churches.
Adjournment was made at noon to
the y. p. VI. l. buildings where the
Hawaiian Board furnished a noon
lunch for all in attendance on the
meeting. In the afternoon reports
were read from the different island as
sOciatiOns giving accounts of the
work done in their semi-annuaI ses-
siOns. There were also read reports

year Contributions from the churches
to the Hawaiian Board had slightly in
creased. But the Hawaiian churches do
not seem to appreciate their response

cations TO pay the salaries due their
pastors, according TO their contracts.
Special mention was made of the
great Indebtedness of the Maui

00O-the church at Lahaina, destroyed
by fire about two years ago. The work
of uniting two feeble churches under
one pastor proceeds from year
TO year, imposing larger burdens upon
fewer pastors. Necessity knows no
mercy, and large burdens imply i'm
paired efficiency. Social evils are ram
pant in many of the parishes, and new
methods seem imperatively demanded
by the new social conditions of mod
ern life. The Island of Kauai has been
especially favored through the work
of Rev. J. NJ Lydgate, in personal Wis
itation of the different parishes, and
in gathering together once quarter all
the pastors for special Bible study, as
we'll as for conference on special diff
fculties in pastoral work. Various top
les suggested by these reports were put
upon the docket for further considera-
tiOn.
The association adjourned at p. m.
to meet this morning at o'clock for
a sunrise prayer meeting, in prepara-
tiOn for the session this evening of the

The boys from Richmond put up an eN-

with the bat and managed to hit the ball
hard and safe at critical points in the
game.
The home team, while showing lack OF
team work. failed to connect with Elyson S

ANOTHER NAVY YARD FIRE
Tive Disastrous Confagrations
Within One Week.
The Fire Is Believed TO Be of In.
cendiary Origin and Close In
qufry VIII He Made.

Another disastrous fire occurred at the
navy yard yesterday afternoon. Strangely
enough the building, which was partially
burned, is the one temporarily occupied by
the paymaster, or what s known as tie
general storekeeper's office, which was
the same department which suffered the
loss OF its quarters by fire last Thursday.
There are strong suspicious that both
fires were of incendiary origin, and the
most rigid inquiry will be made by the
navy yard officials into the matter
shortly after 4 O'Clock yesterday after
noon I, dense volume of smoke was dis
covered pouring from the upper windows
and from beneath the roof. A hasty rin-
vestigation showed that the entire attic
was on fire, and an alarm was turned In
from box 52S for the department.
At the same time lines of hose kept in
that andadtoining buildings were attached
TO the bydranIs, and it was not long be-
fore three streams OF water had been
turned upon the flames
The department was quick to respond.
and in short time the fire was under
control. The greater portion Of the furni.
ture and other goods in the building was
gotten out safely, so that the principal
damage was to the structure itself.
The building was one of the Oldest in
the yard, having been constructed about
1910. For long time it has been prin-
cipally occupied by the seamen gunuers,
and was always known as their quarters
About three months ago the Old store
room, No. 1, was filled up for them ut the
time the general storekecrer's office was
removed from there into the buil ding
which burned last week. The lower floor
was used as q sort of plumbers shop,
while the second floor and the dormitory
were temporarily fitted up for the gen
eral storekeeper and the examining boards.
There was practically nothing in the
little, low attic, and IL is regarded as
impossible that the fire could have started
there accidentally.
Another strange feature is the fact that
the origin was almost identicaliy the
same as that Of last week, which also
started under similar circumstances in
the attic and in the same department Of
the Navy.
The total loss it is believed will not be
over $4,000, mainly 10 the building.
