THE CHURCH FUND
Further Action by the
Anglican Synod.
Measures TO Safeguard the Integr RI
~ OF the Church I'm Hawaii by
Means of a Sub crlptton.

At the meeting of the Diocesan Syn
Cd held last night uis lordship, Bishop
Willis, presiding, the following resOlu
ton for the establishment of an en-
dowment fund for the Bishopric OF Ho-
nolulu was, after careful considera-
ton, adopted without a dissenting
voice:
Whereas, this Diocesan Synod has
expressed, in a resolution touching the
transference of the See, it's sense that
the interests of the Church in Hawaii
ought to be duly and sufficiently safe
guarded and it's integrity maintaired; ,"
and for the maintenance of that integ-
rity the Church in Hawaii ought to be
contributing to the utmost Of its
power;
Resolved, That a committee be ap-
pointed under the presidency of the
Bishop to raise an endowment fund for
the BishOpric of Honolulu, towards
which there is already in the hands of
the S. p. 0. the sum of G1,777175:
such committee 10 have power to add
10 it's members.
The fact of the non-representation in
the Synod of the St Clements organi-
cation was subject Of considerable dis
cussiOn, and in order to assist in the
accomplishment If a much-to-b e-de-
sired end, the following resolution was
placed ON record:
Resolved, That this Synod should in
struct the standing committee to con-
Ter with representatives of the Organi-
ZatlOn Of st. Clements with a view to
bringing it into such position as shall
entitle it to representation in the Syn
Cd Of the Anglican Church in Hawaii
The creation Of Board of Missions,
judged necessary for the proper regu-
lation of and support of missionary
work of the Diocese, was accomplished.
and the following gentlemen were APP
pointed: Bishop Willis lex officio)
Revs. E. J. II. Van Deerlin, A Mackin-
tosh and V. H. Kitcat, Commander
Pond, U.S.N., and Messrs. Henry Smith
and L. .Aseu.
The Synod will meet again this eve
ming and will probably conclude all its
business within an hour.
The standing committee will hold a
meeting and the Board of Missions will
assemble for the purpose of organiza-

A VERY COMFORTABLE SEAT.

IA
Quite recently two young ladies hall
ed an omnibus in a large city, entered

She looked down the row Of men,
and selected for her victim sedate-

ROUGH AND READY LUDLOW.

A correspondent Of the New York
Evening Post makes this comparison
between Gen. Brooke and Gen. Ludlow
as brought out in their respective
spheres in Havana: Brooke is the
embodiment Of the cut-and-dried rou-
tine of military officialism; Ludlow is
man who has not the patience to I'M
tie troublesome knots If they can just
as well be slit. Brooke's answer to
every criticism of his official conduct
has uniformly been the production Of
the papers in the case, showing that
he had intrenched himself securely
behind precedents, and done every
thing according to rule. Ludlow,
wherever he has been, has mode his
individuality SO pronounced as fairly
to take away the breath of the bureau
Gratis. The Lighthouse Board Is still
at work Strengthening out some Of has
transactions while he had charge Of
district in its service. The transac-
tions were perfectly creditable in
themselves, but they were sometimes
in fat defiance of instructions, and re-
uuired the officer performing them to
take upon himself a pretty heavy
financial responsibility. The Board
would decide that a lighthouse should
be put in a certain place, but Ludlow
would pick out another site which he
thought better, and would proceed 10
build there, unless stopped in time
All the work he did was excellent, ana
the Government got It's full moneys
worth, but mere questions of routine
played no part in the transaction.

THEY RIDICULE IT
Many People RfiicuIe the Iden NJ an
Absolute Cure for Dyspepsia
and Stomach Troubles.
Ridicuie, However, Is Not Argument.
and Facts Are Stubborn Things.

Stomach troubles are so common and IN
most cases so obstinate to cure that peo
pie are apt to look with suspicion on anv
remedy claiming to be a radical. perma
nent cure for dyspepsia and Indigestion.
Many such pride themselves on their
acuteness in never being humbugged
especially in medicines
This fear of being humbugged can be
carried too far, so far. in fact that MANY
people suffer for years with weak diges-
tion rather than risk a little time and
money In faithfully testing the claims
made of preparation so reliable and
universally used as Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Now Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important respect
from ordinary proprietary medicines. for
the reason that they are not a secret
patent medicine, no secret is made of
their ingredients. but analysis shows them
to contain the natural digestive ferments
pure aseptic pellsin, the digestive acids
Golden Seal, bismuth, hydrastis and nux
They are not cathartic, neither do they
act powerfully on any organ. but they
cure Indigestion on the common sense
plan of digesting the food eaten thorough
ly before it has time to ferment, sour
and cause the mischief. This is the only
secret of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never
can cure Indigestion and stomach troubles
because they act entirely on the bowels.
whereas the whole trouble is really in
the stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken after
meals digest the food. That is all there
is to it, Food not digested or half dit
gested is poison, as it creates gas, acidfty,
heada ches, palpitation of the heart, loss
of flesh and appetite and many other
troubles which are often called by some
other name.
They are sold by druggists everywhere
at 50 cents per package. Address F. A.
