HAD A GOOD YEAR
Meeting and Election of
Second Congregation.
Marked Progress Made During the
Past Twelve Months - Points
Made in the Pastors Address.

The regular annual meeting Of the
Second Congregation of St. Andrew 5
Cathedral was held in the Sunday
School rooms of the church last even
ing.
The first business of the evening was
the report OF the treasurer which was
unanimously accepted. This showed
the finances of the church, including
offertories and subscriptions, very
much increased over last year. In
every way there was a show of material
increase in the number Of subscribers
and members.
The following officers and commit
tees were chosen to serve during the
ensuing year:
Church wardens-Geo. S. Harris Sr.
and Judge w. L. Stanley.
Sidesmen-E. w. Jordan, J. w. Pod
more, John Efinger, Louis Miranda,
R. "A. Jordan E. r. Folsom, H. w. NJ.
Mist and Joseph Kalaulu.
Treasurer-F. M. Starkey
Choir committee-Mrs. C. B. Cooper,
Mrs. E. D. Tenney, Mrs. Geo. Ross,
Miss Won Holt, A st. M Macintosh,
Judge w. L. Stanley, Thomas Wall and
Thomas May.
Finance committee-Thomas May, T.
NJ. Starkey and w. NJ. Graham.
Clerk of the Parish-John Efnnger.
Rev Alexander Macintosh spoke
briefly ON the years work. He referred
to the number of communicates at the
Easter service as being the largest dur
ing the history of st. Andrews. He
had been very much assisted by the
members and especially the young Ha-
waiians and st. Andrews Guild. About
1900 people now constituted the mem
bership of the church. During the en-
suing year he expected to carry some
new ideas into effect, this for the pro-
motion of the welfare of the church.
He hoped to have the hearty support of
the members since without this support
he would be powerless. The indefatiga-
bic interest taken by Mr. Geo. S. Har-
ris, in looking after the congregation
and their supply of books, was specially
mentioned.
The clerk of the Parish was instruct
ed to notify Mr.. F. NJ. Wakefield that
the meeting had passed a resolution of
thanks for the valuable help he gave
the church on Easter Sunday by pre-
siding at the organ.

Court at Kailua.

Attorneys Humphreys and Magoon
returned yesterday from Kailua, Ha-
wall, where they have been attending
court. The term was a very light one
and probably came to an end yesterday.
The most important matter was the
reduction of sentences for some Kohala
natives who had been convicted of cat
tie stealing. The District Judge had
made the penalty a year in prison for
each. This was changed on appeal to
$50 fine only. Judge Kalua is presiding
at KaiIua and gave entire satisfaction
to all. Deputy Attorney General Dole
will return by the UpOIu and Attorney
Chas. Creighton is visiting friends at
Waikiki, Maui.

Al Moore and Jim German of the
Regiment baseball team went into a
town sporting goods house yesterday
and NIoors quietly asked for a baseball
mitt, meaning, of course, one of the
big gloves used by catchers. The clerk
evidently was unfamiliar with the ma
tional pastime, for he replied with re-
gret in his tones: mo; quite sorry, but
we have no baseball nets. We have
tennis nets, good as any in town and
cheap too" German remarked: HE
must think we're feeders for some 9TH
er team" and then Moore explained
what was wanted.

Cut Down Expenses.
Emnoria Messenger.)

(EmpOTld MtSStnbttD
We do not expect TO have the rate or
taxation lowered at ALL With the present
state Of affairs. that Is a matter OF i'm
possibility. Even If our expenses are
greatly reduced by legislation during this
session. our taxes will be likely TO con-
tinue as great and very probably greater
than they are now. This Legislature is ex-
pected 10 make some arrangements for the
increased interest on the public debt To
meet this II is highly probable that taxes
will be increased. We are anxious TO see
such a trouble avoided. II 1t is to be
avoided, or can be, we can only think OF
one way, and that is by the reduction OF
expenses, criminal expenses, and salaries
OF State officials. Some OF the members OF
the Legislature have had much TO say
about reducing the salaries OF county
Judges and small salaried officials. We
favor. II any reduction is 10 be made. not
q partial-but an impartial-a general cut
all around beginning with the Governor,
and coming on, taking in professors and
every State official. And this, even then,
will NOT be anything like so hard to bear
as the poor farmers condition is from low
prices and short crops. The farmers in
come has been reduced more than 80 per
Salaries and dischargfng employees is the
order OF tho day In manufacturing and
railroad circles. We believe that many OF
our state officials would submit gracefully,
nohlv. ana periodically TO a reasonable
reduction OF their salaries in order TO re-
duce expenses of the State and relieve
Taxpayers.
