a visit of himself and Mrs Birnie to-
the States and that the request had
been denied. This story was mention
ed TO Mr.. Birnie and he said it would
be classed with all others that might
gain currency. His reasons were in
his letter
During the three years Mr.. Birnie
has been here he has shown especial
talent for organization and for carry
ing forward plans for church auxiliary
work. He assisted materially in set
ting up the Palama chapel and organ
lied the Young Mems Research club.
Mr.. Birnie has not been "Parkhurst,"
but has done an immense amount OF
quiet, effective work In all his oper-
ations he has been ably seconded by
Mrs. Birnie. Mr.. Birnie came to the
Islands under the pressure Of the rep
resentation that it was a call to duty
and left Boston at personal sacrifice.
He happens to be independent of his
salary as minister Mr.. Birnie has
always had large congregations at the
Central Union. His Sunday evening
talks have found particular favor.
The resignation will be accepted
within a fortnight and the work OF
securing new pastor will be taken
up without delay.

Young Business Men.

There is considerable talk just now
amongst those who would naturally
be supposed to be most interested in
the subject of a Young Business
Mems Club The plan is for an or
ganization with rooms down town. 1t
is not the intention to enter the lists
in opposition to any existing organiZa-
ton. The purpose will be to bring
the young business men of the city
together for mutual benefit. The
members would meet socially at lunch
and in the afternoons and evenings
and would have library. Frequently
older members of the business COM
munity would be invited to deliver ad-
dresses to the young men.

Determined Suiside of Japanese.
Public Meeting.

A japanese laborer killed himself
at Lahaina on Saturday afternoon.
He adopted an unusual method of sui
eide. Taking the sash from his waist
he wrapped it twice around his neck,
fixed it to a door knob and slowly
strangled by his own weight. On that
same morning he had left Jail, being
taken out by friends paying his fine.
He had been arrested for some trivial
offense
John IIina, a native lad, was fooling
around the sugar trains at Lahaina
plantation on Friday when he some
how placed his foot under car wheel.
The member was so badly crushed
that amputation was necessary.
At Lahaina on Saturday evening, a
meeting of the taxpayers and citizens
of the district was held at the Court
house and was addressed by D. H. Ka-
haulelio, representative-elect. The
chief topics of discussion were the
need of more street lights and better
wharfage facilities. Several petitions
were drawn up and signed by all pres

Gladstone and MacaulaY

A letter from Mr.. Gladstone was the
only one thought worthy of preservation
by Lord Macaulay. The communication
thus treasured was written in 1888. and
acknowledged in generous terms the
courtesy and, with some reservations, the
fairness of Macaulay's famous article or
Church and State" in the Edinburgh
Review. How much this letter pleased
Macaulay." writes his blographcr 'is in
dicated by the fact of his having kept II
unburned. a compliment which, except
in this single instance, he never paid tc
any of his correspondents" In reply Lord
Macaulay wrote to Mr.. Gladstone:
II have very seldom been. more graft
fled than by the very kind note which
have just received from you. Your book
itself and everything that I heard about
you, though most of my information came
to the honor, I must say, of our troubled
times-from people very strongly opposed
to you in politics, led me to- regard yor
with respect and good WILL and truly am
glad that I have succeeded in marking
those feelings. London News.

BICYCLE HAPPENINGS

pie never lose an opportunity Of either say
Ing or doing some thing disagreeable
against the southern men. The latest 10 a
piece of legislation which practically will
prevent any Southern California racing
men from participating in their big relay
event. This new rule requires that in order
to compete in the relay a rider must have
Iresded at least three months In the city OF
the team for which he intends to ride. Nat
uraly, no southern man can afford to &C
north and lay around ninety days in order
to take part. The reason for this rule Is
easily seen in the recent defeat of Wins
and the other northern cracks by w. G
Furman of this city.
The pros complain that the manufac.
Iturers are not supporting racing to any ex
ten this year, and that any one with dea
at all is very lucky.

track that was negotiating with Bald fol

The Cat of the Alaska

Seldom was the name of cat on board
the old war sloop Alaska His full name
was Seldom Fed. Its signification is suf-
ficienty apparent without further ex-
planation Seldom was. for a cat, a
most intelligent one. He belonged to the
petty officers mess, having been brought
off by member of that mess one night
inside. the shirt of the tipsy boatswain's
mate. Seldom was nearly dead then, a
weak, starved kitten, but he soon got
we'll and grew big and wise on hard
tack, salt horse and plum duff. He knew
his master, usually slept on the foot clews
of his hammock, and always stood watch
with him. sometimes walking up and
down the deck beside him, at others coiled
on the tackles of the gun by which the
boatswain's mate paced up and down con-
tinually. Seldom rarely went on shore.
but when he did go there was high old
time; his was always rough liberty.
1 remember once his going on shore in
San Francisco, after having been on
board ship for four months. 1t was his
first visit to the city-and his last. Yes
he came back after a three days run
One eye was closcd and bleeding, one foot
he could not put to the ground something
had bitten his tail; all over he was scars
and bruises. Seldom was decidedly the
worse for wear. He got on board ship,
noticing no one and no one noticing him
to speak to him. though every one looked
at him. He was helped by his owner, the
boatswain's mate, up to the top of the
engine hatch, being too much bunged to
jump up, and there he lay, like any old
drunken sailor for nearly twenty-four
hours. Then Seldom Joined his mess, ate
his meals, and in due course of time got
well.
What became of him? He was drown
ed. Seldom had a way of going out on
the muzzle of great gun and sitting near
the extreme end to enjoy the cool breezes
of the tropics and watch the side of the
ship as she bowled along the sunlit seas.
One day the ship gave lurch, and that
was the end of Seldom.-New York Her.

Prices and Prospects of the Trade In
Cereals

CHICAGO, June 25-Wheat was strength
ened at the start by the reports of damage
to crops with which the mail of every COM

came a shade better, and there were quite
a number of bad crop advices, among them
a cablegram from Broom Hall saying that
the weather in England was unsettled, the
crop three weeks late the growth rank and
the crop outlook poor Later the market
succumbed to the dullness of speculative
trade and the general impression that such
a crop as this seasons can spart lot to
the bugs and other pests it has been men
aced by and still have enough left to make
a bigger crop than was ever before gatn-
cred The early advance was all lost, and
prices left off under last nights close July

Between crop prospects incident to i'm
proved weather, corn was depressed. There
was some liquidation in July and the bull S

July closed 5scGAc lower.
Scalpers sold oats on every decline in
corn This, combined with the selling by
"longs," caused prices to sag. July closed
&c lower.
The speculative trade was still timid in
provisions on account of the yellow fever.
Prices held firm and were a shade higher
