passed on into the sanctuary glowing
softly with lighted candles and stained
glass windows, through which the sun
came d m and warm. He bowed toward
the altar and bent in prayer.
Then the priests invested him with the
ole and the chasuble of pale olive green
and gold, and he stood before the Bishop,
who repeated the word Accepted" in
Greek after the inyestiture OF each gar
ment. Then the choir burst into tri-
um phani song. 1t was wonderfully eff
fective. The rich masses of color, the
stately bearing of the priests, the swing

dark-eyed young deacon who had Just
been ordained, the halle,ujahs of the
choir, whose waves OF music seemed to

the people bowed and crossed themselves
and prayed with all devotion. Priests
and people partook OF the communion.
Then the men, filing up first, kissing the
great golden crucifx the Bishop held. and
then the women i'll their turn came for-
ward.
The Bishop blessed the people, and then
his attendants removed the red and gold
robe, the gold hin piece, the stole, the
scarf and the miter and placed upon his
head the great yelled cap and about him
the flowing purple silken gown. The last
he gave back into the hands OF the attend
ant as he left the church.
A sermon explaining the ritual of ordi-
nation was preached in English by Father
Sebastian and the congregation passed
out. The church was empty. Then, still
wearing his green and gold robe, Father
Pashkovsky, the new priest OF San Fran

married. Theodore Pashkovsky was mar
ried on November 8. He was made a
deacon a week ago. He made confession
to Bishop Nicholas Saturday night, and on
Sunday morning, at the little church on
Powell street, near Fibert, he became
priest of the Greek Church. In future he
will oficiate in this church, to which
Bishop Nicholas has ap pointed him.
Everything is foreign, strange, unique
at the Greek Church. The services are
conducted in Greek and Slavonian. The
church itself is small, but glowing with
color. The sanctuary is separated from
the rest of the church by red and gold,
elaborately carved, richly decorated grill.

End Of the Murder Trial.

After several hours deliberst
the jury in the Smith murder case
returned verdict at 2 o'clock this
afternoon.
Kapea the alleged murderer Of
DR.. Smith was found guilty as
charged and Ksio guilty as
being an accessory before the fact
and Upapa as au accessory after
the fact.
G.. Rathburn was acquitted. The
verdict OF the jury in the first named
cases stood 9 to 3 in favor of con-
viction.
w. Kinney prosecuted and Mr..
Robertson defended Kapea and
Kaio. Mr.. A. Rosa appeared for
Rathburn and Upapa.
No sentence in the cases OF Kapea
and Kaio will be- given during this
term as the statutes provide for a
respite OF 48 hours before a deaf h
sentence can be pronounced.

THE LATEST FAKE.

The Washington correspondent OF
the New York Herald doubtless re-
ceived his inspiration for the state
ment that the Annexation Treaty
was sure to pass the Senate at an
early day, from the Hawaiian Lega-
tion at Washington. Mr.. Thurston
is adopting ancient Chinese methods
in his campaign for annexation.
The clashing OF cymbals and heat.
ing of drums is intended to rattle
the anti-annexationists. but the tao
tics Of ancient China do not scare
the loyal Hawaiians and their friends
The cymbals may hearten up the
members of the Annexation Club
here, and lead them to sink their
hands into their jeans for the coin
with which to pay Mr.. Thurston his
salary OF thousand dollars per
month, and incidentals Of as much
more. The Advertisers editorial
writer plucks up a little of the
courage he displayed in June and
July last, when annexation was due
by every incoming steamer, in the
first part Of his editorial of yester-
day, but at the end of it he falls
back with thud upon the dread
that the unexpected may again blast
the hopes Of to-day. The editor is
right in his fear, for the unexpected
will bappeu and complications will
rise like the ghost of Banquo 10
chill tue marrow of the Infamous
plotters against Hawaiian independ-
ence.

Had a Good Time.

There were OF course many
Thanksgiving dinners and parties in
town yesterday. A very pretty re-
ception was held at the McRay-Joy
cottage on Fort street where petty
officers of the U. S. S. Bennington
entertained their friends. The
rooms were beautifully decorated
and the grounds illuminated in a
very tasteful manner. 1t was truly
American feast which showed that
although far away from home the
boys have not forgotten the day of
thanks.

Paving Piikoi street is certainly a
great public improvement just at

street crossings rather primitive, but
very little complaint is heard, Peo
Pile appreciate that street paving is

RECOGNITION DAY.

Sunday next is the anniversary of
the recognition OF Hawaiian Inde-
pendence, and is justly made a ma
tional holiday of great interest to
the Hawaiaus aud their friends, but
a source of annoyance and discom-
fort to those hybrid Americans who
are now for selfish ends and the
greed Of few paltry dollars, that
they cannot convey to Hades with
them, bartering away that very in
dependence which we are lawfully
called upon to celebrate.
The day commentaries the COM
pact between England and France
entered into in 1843, "to consider the
Sandwich Islands as an Independ-
ent State; and never to take posses
sion, neither directly nor under the
title OF protectorate, or under any
other form, of any part OF the terri
tory of which they are composed" !"
England is still barred from inter
fering in our affairs in spite of the
lying arguments of the annexation
lists, raised to please the Yankee
jingoes, that she still desires it to
complete the chain between her
powerful offshoots aud her home
Empire.
When the Islands have once ass
ed into other hands England and
France will be relieved OF their COM
pact of 1843, and the power then
holding them must guard, protect
and hold them by stalwart men on
land and sea, aud subject to the
arbitration Of the grim God of War
and not Of the sweet smiling God
dess of Peace. The days of idle
threats and buucombe and diplo-
matte deceit will have passed away
like the morning mists before the
sizzling sun, and Jactis non verbiS
will be the ruling motto.
"Without this" says a writer in
the Annual, referring to the com.
paet of 1843, "Hawali would have
have been shipwrecked early in her
career, and not left to choose her
destiny" How are we now, intelli.
gent neighbor, are we choosing our
own destiny, or is it being chosen
for US by grasping minority guided
by greed and shipwrecking our
career OF independence Had the
monarchy endeavored to consum-
mate annexation would you not
have yelled aud howled and created
a revolution on general principles9
