nile IL Is no doubt news to many
mat there Is a separate and distinct

the North Pacific. yet the Risbor
points out that his announcement is
only a reiteration of the ancient liner
ties OF the Church i'm the Sandwich
Islands.
We welcome to Honolulu Mrs. Tav-
Tor wife of Major Taylor of the Mill
tary Hospital, who comes with her
daughter and Miss Mathison To tase
up her residence here until her hus-
bands time of service expires. (ya
commend them To their fellow Churc,
members.
Mrs. Asche, mother of Mrs. Harold
Sewall, left Honolulu for her home in
san Francisco after a sojourn of a few
months with her daughter. She will be
greatly missed by the many warm
friends she made during her stay in
Honolulu aad especially by her fellow
church members.
At st. Andrews Cathedral the Sac
rament of Baptism was administered
on April 81. by the Rev. Alex. Mackin-
tosh. to the infant son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Harold Mott-Smith. and on Sunday.
the 10Th. to the son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Admission. and to the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs Brickwell.
Honolulu has lost for an indefinite
period some or the best citizens. who
will be missed by very many i'm the
Church and in general society. Mr..
and Mrs. W. +. Meier. and Mr.. and
Germany. with many good wishes
mingled with great regrets.
The vicious habit of smoking cigar
cites by young boys is on the increase
again after almost disappearing. The
Portuguese parents are not strict
enough with their children. and the
habit soon becomes as confirmed in
them as II Is I'm themselves. We hope
the law forbidding this vice is still on
the statute, and will BE- strictly On
forced.
10 may not be- generally known that
during the time that the plans for q
big hospital We're I'm CESSATION. a very
humble beginning was made by Mr..
Burgess. through the efforts of the
manager of the Associated Charities.
and four OF our most needy incurables
were comfortably provided for. Mr..
Burgess has proved a most capable
manager of the few, and we think he
would be quite competent 90 manage
the greater institution.
The announcement by the Lord
Bishop of Honolulu. i'm the last issue OF
the Diocesan Magazine. the official or
gan of the Islands, regarding the pres
ent status of the Church here, has
created considerable comment. That
the Diocese OF Honolulu never was a
diocese of the Church of England il
clear" says he; and this most effect
ually disposes OF the jurisdiction over
this branch OF the Church which II has
been hoped by some would be eXer-
cised by the Archbishop Of Canterbury.
There died at the Queens Hospital
after an operation for appendicitis Mr..
Franz Prachthauser. n native of Ba
den. Germany. He landed here from
the transport RELIEF some months
ago. lie came Of very respectable par
ents. his father being an inspector on
% railway i'm Hungary. His funeral
took place on Wednesday last, the Rev.
Alex. Macintosh officiating. The re-
mains were buried in Makiki cemetery,
quite number OF the friends he had
made during his short residence fol-
lowing them 20 the grave.
Now that we are really a component
part of the United States We may pre-
pare ourselves for many changes in
our past existence. IL will depend very
much. II not altogether, on those who
consider themselves important citizens
whether these changes are beneficial to
lilfInt OF ONIfINlSfs We ~ W ''N@'
American politics. let us have the best.
Every one should be patriotic enough
20 bear his part I'm the government
seeing that II is for the people and by
the people. Those who stand by and
watch others work. must be prepared
to- see many things they do not like.
After many days of anxious pleading
the Hospital for Incurables' became
an accomplished fact. Bishop Wills
was elected president with a body OF
directors to assist him. These gentle
men were given authority to choose
their own officers for the actual man
agement Of the hospital. There are up
wards OF twenty incurable patients in
the old Kerosene Warehouse given by
tn. Government for hospital ana
there is every probability that the
number will increase. At present the
hospital is open TO all corners who ap-
ply for admission. AS soon as the III
ferent nationalities equip hospitals TINS
extensive privilege will be curtailed.
