The herald., 1898-01-25

President Dole, we are pleased to see,
puts at rest the absurd rumors set afioat
in this country some time ago that
large number Of Japanese soldiers have
been imported into the Sandwich islands
as ordinary laborers, and that in the
event of the rejection Of the annexation
treaty these unspeakable Japs will rise
en- masse and take possession of the
government in the interest of their
country. A large proportion of the male
immigrants from all foreign countries
have at one time or another performed
military service, but the president OF
Hawaii doesn't appear alarmed about
the Japanese.

When young man asks father for his

ToNIGHT's PI.AYBILLs.

At the Worcester Theatre this eve
ming, the Bennett Moulton Comedy
Company begins a series of low priced
dramatic performances with "In Dark
est Russia, a romantic drama by H.
Grattan Donnelly. The piece. which
is familiar to Worcester audiences
through several local presentations, has
a powerful background of nihilistic
plots and imperial tyranny, lightened
by the love affair of sprightly Po-
fish countess and a Chicago broker.
The act where a superseded minister
of police, whose term of office is to
end at noon, strives to compass the
destruction of suspect before the
striking of the midday hour shall usher
in the rule of a successor who is known
to be more leniently disposed, is thrill
ing and novel in the extreme, and spec
tators are wont to watch the progress
of the clock hands as eagerly as do
the mimic characters on the stage.
Miss Katherine Roper, whose attrac-
tive personality is to brighten Lo-
throps stage this week, has for her
opening bill tonight, the comedy 1.-THE
Deacon's Daughter" which AL c. Gum
ter wrote for the<late Annie Pixley.
The heroine is a country bred girl, the
daughter of a straight laced deacon
who considers frivolity a sin, and thea
tres an abomination. The girl comes
to the city, drifts INTO theatrical life
and becomes famous and prosperous
star all unknown to her parents, to
whom her regular remittances of
money come as the earnings Of we'll

resolve to visit their daughter at her
city home, and discover her real occu-
patton. They ARE at first scandaiized,

alton. Miss Rober may be counted

Hugh Hyland of Leomin-
ster Instantly Killed.

Fitchburg, oct. 3O.-Hugh Hyland As,
residing in Leominster, was struck by
trolley car on Water street, this
morning, and instantly killed. Hyland
was walking on the tracks, and he was
so drunk that the clang of the motor

o'clock, and was witnessed by several
people walking along the sidewalks,
who were powerless to aid the drunken
man. The car, Which was in charge of
Conductor Savage and manned by Mo
torman Carley, was going at rapid
rate, and it swooped down upon Hy-
land before he himself knew anything
was coming.
The body was taken to an undertake

PRACTICAL CHARITY
Christian People Mean to Be Kind, But
they Are Not, Always.

Christian People Mean to Be Kind, But
they Are Not, Always.
The Rev N. Fl. Whittlesey d. D., of
New Haven, Conn, secretary of the
committee of the national council Of
ministerial relief for the Congregation
al churches, spoke yesterday morning in
the Central Church. His text was Phil
ippians, iv1O. From this sentence, he
said taken from the midst of PauPs
letter we may gather two or three inn
portant lessons.
First, Christian people mean to be
kind-when they think of it. Today, if
the facts about the needs of Gods aged
ministers can be made known and a
business-like way of caring for them
can be devised, Christian people will re-
spond.
Second, the apparent benefactors are
often the real beneficiaries and vice
versa. Fifty-fiVe years ago set of
eleven young fellows from Andover
Mass, came by stage canal, lake and
farmers wagons to the territory of
Iowa. That was in 1S43, three years be-
fore Iowa was admitted to the Union
| Their ambition was: IF each of us by
church, and if all joining hands, can
establish a Christian college, will not
| that be a life-work we'll worth achiev-
! ing?" They invested their lives there.
| of the three survivors today, two are
still living in Iowa And what have they
| lived to see? Three hundred Congrega-
t1onal churches in Iowa. two colleges
and several academies under our care;
at the crossroads every two miles apart
| the little white school house giving
| Iowa the lowest percentage of illiteracy
| ofaany state in the land They have
been leaders in all battles for liberty,
union, temperance and good morals
often at great sacrifice, pecuniary and
| other. Suppose these survivors or the
surviving widows of others have been
so self-sacrificing that they have not
made sufficient financial provision for
their own declining years. would a
| handsome. pension from the people of
Iowa be charity? Instantly your sense
Of Justice replies, Mo- 1t Would be only
a little interest on the mere money

| there is not an acre of land in her nine
ty-nine counties, nor a city lot nor a
mile of railroad, nor an Iowa mortgage
! owned in New England, that will not
sell for more in cash tomorrow than it
could have represented had it not been
for the labors of these pioneers in help
| ing to transform that great billowy,
untrodden prairie into the Massachu-
sets Of the west.
The third lesson from the story is,
that even when Christian people are
disposed to be just and generous, they
are sometimes so tardy about it as to
amount to positive cruelty
