CHURCHNARDENS APPEAL
DESIRE A FUND OF $50 PER
MONTH
The First Congregation of St An
drews is Not Self -Supporting-De-
pends on Missionary Funds.

The churchwardens of the Cathedral
congregation have sent the following
letter to parishioners:
AS churchwardens of st. Andrews
Cathedral we wish to put before our
fellow ChurChmen who avail them
themselves of the ministrations provid-
ed for them in the cathedral the obIi-
cation resting upon us all to make
better provision for the maintenance
of those who minister in the cathedral
than we have hitherto done.
Many probably are not aware to how
large an extent the ministrations we
enjoy are paid for out of funds 10
which we contribute nothing. Not
only have we never contributed one
cent toward the stipend for the bishop,
on whom at times we have been de-
pendent for the maintenance of the ser
vices but we also enjoy free of cost
the miniStratiOns of an assistant cler-
gyman, who derives his support from
Iolani School. There remains our par
ish priest, to make up whose stipend
we have to look for an appropriation
from missionary funds i'm the hands OF
the bishop
The time has come when. instead of
being dependent upon missionary funds
! from abroad, we ought to be not only
supporting, but in a position to
make liberal contributions to domestic
missions. With the population all
around us rapidly increasing, new mis-
sions ought to be opened, to which the
| missionary funds now employed for
| our support ought to be set free.
Whatever changes may follow the
| transfer of Jurisdiction. whenever that
/ takes pace, the cathedral church ought
| to be the center of all missionary eff
| fort. But before it can become so. IL
must be self-supporting. To provide
! proper stipends for those who carry on
I the ministratons for which the cathe-
/ dral church is responsible, which in
| clude services in the English and Ha-
| waiian languages in the cathedral and
| one mission station, we ought to be in
| receipt of $3.50 a month, outside of the
amount contributed at the offertory for
| current expenses.

JIM POSTS BENEFIT.

A rousing benefit will be rendered
Jim Post at the Orpheum tonight. The
first act will be Jim Posts celebrated
farce comedy "U & l." This will bring
out the full strength of the company.
AL the artists will introduce new spe-
cialties, and everything will be done at
it's best.
In addition to the fact that the pro-
gram is especially attractive the people
feel that rousing benefit would be but
a fit recognition of the efficient work
Mr.. Post has done in providing amuse-
ment for the public.

of $50 each This passed by the fol-

noes, 23O shares. Those voting against
it were Robert Levers. $50 shares. and
b. d. Bond (by proxy, 80 shares

at $40 per share, or five for one. and
that each holder should share proper

slight and of minor importance, pass
ed without considerable alteration

THE LADY OF LYONS.
Popular Play to Be Given This Ever
ing.

The Janet Waldorf company presents
THE Lady of Lyons" this evening
The play is Bulwer Lytton's MASTER
piece for the stage, and has held its
place as a standard drama for near on
to half a century, being as popular
now as when it was first produced. The
scenes are very dramatic and the
dresses are brilliant, being those of the
time of the directory.
The story is one of love and revenge,
but after lending himself to a scheme
for humbling Pauline, the Lady of Ly-
ons, Claude Melnotte repents and en-
tering the French army returns laden
with honors just in time to save Paul
inc from a great sacrifice. The scenes
are strong throughout and give Won
derful opportunity to Miss Waldorf
and her company to show their pow
ers. 1t is essentially a popular play.

MORE OF THEM USED.

There are probably more Singer sew
Ing machines used in the United States
than of any other one make. This is a
very excellent guarantee that they are
one of the very best machines. The
points of merit are strength, durabil-
ty, easy running and simple construc-
ton. Very little mechanism to get out
of order makes repair bills small
When IN need of a new sewing ma
chine examine the Singer before pur-
chasing any other make. h. Berger

AN EXPLANATION.

Like all modern up-to-date newspa-
pets, the Representative sets the name
and address of each subscriber in type
This type is arranged alphabetically as to
towns and names in long lists and is what
we call our mailing list. This type list
Is each week corrected by properly
changing figures to indicate credits, by
adding names OF new subscribers or re-
moving names OF persons no longer
wanting the paper, as each case may re-
quire. All these changes are made in
the type and from this type thus cor
rected each week we print the labels on
the paper of each subscriber. We also
keep copy OF this corrected list each
week. On the 24th OF February the
Tribune fire melted into the basement
of their ruined building the type COM
posing our whole mailing list Our loss
of type was several hundred dollars. We
are now having the entire list reset. 1t
will be work of several weeks and
meantime we are using old copies of the
mailing list to send out each issue
When our new list is completely reset
It will show all new names and all proper
credits.
We are receiving quite number of
complaints from subscribers who have
recently paid up and say the label on their
paper does not give them proper credit
We hope the foregoing explanation will
make it clear why these labels are not
correct.
Be patient little longer brother. you
have the proper credit on our books. in
two or three weeks your paper will show
again the colored label corrected up to
date. Meantime do not be alarmed by
the white label clipped from copies of
Our mailing list in January or December
The eolored labels are correct The
white labels are back numbers forced
upon us by the fire. e. A. T.
The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1899-03-22
THE REASON WHY.

The hoodlum newspapers are all crying
prosperity. Where is this prosperity?
oh" they cry, lit is in the United
States treasury and the banks all over
the country" With all due respect their
story proves the very reverse Of their as
sertion. When the country prospers men
do not keep money lying in the banks
Do you see?-Chippewa Falls Sentinel.
Banks are establishments in which to
temporarily hold money until it can be
loaned out for a profit. When the bank
cannot loan it's money it bespeaks very
bad condition of affairs for the public. In
times of prosperity men can always give
security for loan, and make money OFT
it, When the bank holds its money 1t
shows two things: First, that the we'll
TODD can make nothing by borrowing;
second, that all others have not the secur-
lty for the loans which the banks require.
Hence we find our banks in Minnesota
refusing to take deposits and pay interest
upon them, because they cannot lend the
money out to others at the same or a
higher rate.
Large amounts Of money idle in bank
are like too much blood in the head OF an
apoplectic; they are not sign OF health,
but of diease. ID.
The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1899-03-22

SO long. The tendency is, however, to-
wards. crop-sharing rather than the pay
ing Of wages. #
This talk is part OF general move
ment that would turn back the wheels of
time, and to keep men satisfied with op-
preston by retaining them in ignorance.
If the population OF the United States
had not been increased by immigration,
but had been left to the natural growth
from those who were here at the lorna
ton of the government, instead OF 10000,
600 people today, we would not have
much more than 10, 900 doc; and we would
stand shivering before the nations OF
Europe, who would now be engaged di-
viding up the Western Continent, just as
they are now parcelling out China and
Africa.
Take away the distinguished men who
are OF the posterity of foreigners, since
1875, and America would have beg
carly array of genius to exhibit to the
world. l. D.
