CHURCH TROUBLE
Difficulties in Ebenezer -baptisi
Society Will Be Referred to
Council Of Pastors.

The trouble between the pastor and
people OF the Ebenezcr Baptist church
has been referred to a council of New
England pastors. who will meet next
Thursday.
IL was voted last Thursday evening that
such a council be called for the purpose
of bringing the matter to a head, "a OF
the members being in favor.
Owing to the disagreement between
the pastor, Rev. William s. Holland, and
part of his parishioners, the church board
voted on July to give the pastor three
months notice of removal. the vote be-
ing 81 to %.
This vote was afterward declared null
by the deacon presiding, on the ground
that the pastor was not present, and
the meeting broke up in confusion.
Deacon Ford. who owns the house In
which the pastor resides. was the only
deacon who stood out I'm favor of the
pastor IL is said.
1t was stated that since 1897. when Mr..
Holland took hold, the membership
dropped from 300 to about 90 and incom-
patibility is charged.
On the other hand. n statement has
been issued signed by 5s of the pastors
friends. to the effect that the member
ship never was 300, but that there were
200 members when the pastor came and
110 have since been added.
The letter further declares that through
the pastors efforts debt of sl1s5.S5 on
the church, together with 500 back in
terest and other expenses. have been paid
and there Is $500 in bank.
IL is also stated that the pastor was
not called to the church by the deacon
board, but by the whole church.

The Pot and the Kettle.

George Gear, who has not yet
been appointed Circuit Judge in
the place OF Mr. Silliman, expected
to create big. sensation last even
ing when he, at the Orpheum, read
the following letter signed by the
imbecile rascal known as O. G. Mo
reno:
at took me twenty-five years to
discover what / have just found out.
Robert Wilcox is hypocrisy, men
dacity, deceit and instability per-
sonifed. Wilcox is a cunning and
patient deceiyer and deceived me
for twenty-one long years. Wilcox
has adopted all the vices of the Ha.
waiians and none OF their virtues
Wilcox has repeatedly told me that
the Hawaiians we're too poor to send
money for pushing their bill before
Congress, and / learned that the
Hawaiians had sent him plenty Of
money, which he used exclusively
for parading himself in Washington
as an Hawaiian prince, as he did in
Italy, though ! introduced him to
all simply az Mr., Wilcox.

house and senate can testify to the
contrary"
When Moreno and Wilcox are
falling out because the latter failed
to give part OF the dimes and
nickels which he collected from the
Hawaiians to the Italian scoundrel
who was driven out OF this country,
it is about time that honest men
will get their dues, and that the Ha-
waiisns who have some self-respect
left will cast their votes for Prince
David. Mr. Gear explained his re-
