Say, mister editor, what kind of
deal did you give US the other day
when you in your valuable" columns
advised people to take a trip to
Waialua on Mr.. Dillingham's traini
Me and patty OF friends were IN
duced to take the run last Sunday
simply to see whether You were tell
ing too much truth contrary to the
habits of your interesting paper
which ought to be in mourning
every day in the week.
You said that the trip was "booti-
full" and when you go down the line
refreshments are numerous, 30 we
left the "booze" in town and travell-
ed as missionary first-class tourists.
We succeeded in getting to the
Waialua station without running
off the track and without getting
any refreshments excepting third
class water, labeled ice.water, and
tasting as if it had just been tapped
from the Kihei we'll.
The Waialua station is about one
mile from the Hotel, which is to be
conducted by Col. Iaukes, and the
Hotel is not there yet. At least
there we're no refreshments to be
had. Every man, woman and child
met in the "coming" district and
asked for direction for refresh
ment stand answered, $50 to All
Kui." So we did, and whsn we
finally reached the Chinese store we
found the doors shut and on the
verandah half dozen plantation
men with their tongues hanging out
from their mouths, and not one of
them knowing where the back en-
trance was. Not even policeman
was around.
Ii Waialua is going to be run on
the strictly temperance line, l beg
to withdraw my patronage of the
''road" and Piehu's hotel and remain.
truly yours, TAIRsTY CAAKLm.

A Sudden Death.

William j. Maxwell died suddenly
at his home in Palama this morning,
the cause of death being heart
failure.
The deceased, who was part
Hawaiian, was born here 81 years
ago. and his father was one of the
early settlers, Scotch by birth, and
who for thirty years conducted a
butcher establishment in the city.
The deceased was one of the
oldest printers here. He had re-
ceived good education, and "Billy"
Maxwell could always be found at a
case in the printing Offices when
type was set by men and not by
machinery. Recently he held po-
sition as truancy officer under the
Board of Education, and even yes
terday he was around feeling at
hearty as ever.
The funeral will take place to-
morrow afternoon from his residence
at Koiuiu. Two daughters, one son
and several grandchildren survive

LIFE IN SANTIAGO
The Arrival of Archbishop ohapelle
Stirs the Clerical Party.

Ine ATTlVHl OF ArCnDlsuOp Sudpoho
stirs the Clerical Party.
SANTIAGO, DE CUBA, Feb. 25.-The
proposal to amalgamate and reor-
ganize the old Circle Espano and
the Anglo A American Club has at
last being carried into effect. The
new club is called the Cosmopolitan
Club. The membership is composed
of thirty Americans, twenty English
men thirty-three Spaniards, twenty
two Cubaus and few other nation
alities.
The arrival of Archbishop Chap
pelle of New Orleans, the papal de-
legate appointed to place the Gath
olic Church of Cuba on new basis,
created quite stir among The cler-
ical party. 1t appears that the OBJ
ject of the Archbishop is, il possible,
to place the church on a self-sup-
porting basis.
1t is openly asserted among Cub
ans that the Archbishop has very
poor opinion of the clergy in this
province, so far as he has seen them,
He considers their morals lax, their
habits indolent.

pEoALoaUE AND GOLDEN RULE

The N. Y. Nation, treating of John
Morley's speech to his Scotch con-
stituents, says: "The orator had a
splendid and powerful passage in
which he paid his respects to the
Jingo clergy. His own reputed
atheism lent just the needed edge to
his rebuke of Christian apologists
for war. He had for text a clerical
address at meeting of the Congre-
gational Union, in which were all
the usual mumbling clauses to the ef-
that we could not be for peace at
any price, that there were worse
things than war, that we lived in a
work-a. day world not likely to
adopt at once the higher laws of re,
ligious life. What a spectacle it
was, cried Mr.. Morley, to see good
men in the excruciating dilemma of
dreading to be Jingo, and yet dread
ing still more to be thought for
peace at any price. The fighting
bishops of the Middle Ages could
not have seemed more out of place
as holy men. Worse things than
warl So there are worse things than
smallpox and delirium tremens; but
you do not expect your physician to
console you with the reflection. 1t
was true that we lived in a practical
world; but was it not for men who
believed in the higher laws to insist
upon carrying them precisely into
that practical world? Otherwise,
you had only to imagine these
clergymen in company with the
Forty Thieves, and you would hear
them saying, We are for the Ten
Commandments, but still this is q
work-a-day world; we cannot stand
aloof from the practical business of
life, and we are not for the Ten
Commandments at any price This
was what was rapidly becoming of
the Decalogue, and as for Golden
Rule the modern clerical version of
that was, always swim with the
stream" X The Congrega-
tional clergymen of England and
the United States are very much
alike in that their religion is one for
Sundays and not week days. The
whole article in the Nation is we'll
worth reading, particularly by sex
pansionists and imperialists." We
saw the Congregational clergy with
the Forty Thieves in this city in
1893, when the Decalogue and the
Golden Rule were made back num-
bers.

That Is What the Rain of Yes
terday Is to California
Farmers.
Gentle Showers Come Down From the North,
Soak Hill and Valley and Promise
to Continue To-Day.

The welcome rain has come at last' Inc
prayers of thousands, offered up ny the
godly in the church and, the synagogue
in the city home and on the country
ranch, have been, answered. Ram Is
death or life to California. Long II mas
held aIoof. but at last after weeks OF
sickening drought the gentle drops nave
come pattering down, and the land Is re-
ioicing. CaIifornia's parched and aching
Inns have been rnoistened, the little hills
look glad, and the corn is raising lis
erstwhile dropping head to heaven. Inc
soughing of wet branches in the forest
is q. voice of thanksgiving to Almighty
for the blessing of rain.
To the farmer the showers of rain
are as showers of gold. There is a song
of rejoicing on the hillside and in the val
lev The Te Deum Laudamus echoes
from hill to hill. and the lean and hungry
cattle raise their heads and in their
dumb way sound a glad amen.
The farmer has opened the clock, taken
out that awful document marked mort
gage" and looked at it with a grin of
satisfaction which means 81 can see your
finish-gold is falling from the skies"
And the farmer is not the only inter-
ested party There is not merchant or
mechanic within the limits of the State
who does not view the weather indications
from the same standpoint. To the one it
means business; to the other employ
ment, a full purse and happy heart!
The cold man of the world has a genial
look on his face to-day, and the toiler of
the fields and shop can see the clothes
and food needed for wife and little ones
coming with the drops of rama gift
from heaven.
The rain began to fall in this city at
4 o'clock yesterday morning, travelling
south from Puget Sound. Forecaster Will
son expects it to continue all Jay to-day
with possibly increasing vigor.
The fall has been general throughout
the interior of the State as far south as
Fresno, but along the coast line the edge
of the storm has been a little ragged, and
there has been no fall as yet at San Luis
Obispo. 1t is expected that by tonight
the entire State will have received
drenching.
In this city the precipitation was very
light as only .21 of an inch was regis
tered for the twelve nours between
o'clock yesterday morning and o'clock
in the evening.
Through the Sacramento Valley 1T has
averaged from three to five tenths or an
inch. and on Mount Tamalpais over an
inch has fallen. In the higher attitudes

to save millions of dollars to the State

teenth United States Infantry, now at
Manila. writes a most interesting let
ter to his parents in this city concern
ing the attempt Of the rebels to cap
ture the city on January II. Among
other things the writer says:
The insurgents tried to take the city
by making an attack in the front and
have the citizens make an attack in
the rear, so in order to do this it was
necessary for them to get arms into
the city. We noticed they were having
a large number of funerals from d
church in PacO. One day there were
seventy three collins taken in. When
some of our boys were detailed to in
spect they found that these collins con-
tanned guns and in this way we cap
tured 1900 of the weapons.

Small Reason to Hope the Tottering

Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE Her
AIDS Washington correspondent sends
the following: In administration and
diplomatic circles here the formal an
nouncement in the House of Commons
yesterday by the Parliamentary Secre-
tary for the Foreign Office that Great
Britain is supporting Italy's demand of
China for the lease of San Nun is con-
sidered of great Importance to China
and the world at large.
The action of the London Govern
ment is a surprise, not only to admin
istration circles, but to the British En-
bassy as well, and is regarded as highly
significant of the future policy Whlcn
Great Britain intends to pursue In the
Far East While apparently strenu-
ously advocating the adoption of the
open door policy, and ostensibly ap-
proving the tour of Lord Charles
Beresford in the interest and support OF
that policy, the British Government
now urges China to give Italy a port
and sphere of influence which she Will
control as absolutely as Great Britain
does Hongkong, Germany hlaoehau
and Russia Port Arthur.
1t would not be surprising TO the o1l-
Gals if Japan, appreciating the neces-
sity of protecting her interests, Will now
endeavor to seize a port with a sphere
of influence. Japan objects to the
granting of the Italian demand. though
She did not so express herself when In,
formed by Italy of her intention, and
officials point out that to be consistent
Great Britain could have no oppos1tlon
to the leasing by the Toxic Government
of a Chinese port
Altogether the authorities regard the
outlook for China as very black IN
deed, but as they contend that Ameri-
can interests are not endangered, 1t is
not proposed to take any action.
