ST. Johns Church.

The eminent Missionary Fathers,
who gave the mission at st. John S
church. departed during this last week
for Chicago, where they will give a
mission in one of the most aristocratic
parishes of the city. The people of st.
Johns church are making the Jubilee,
and, while many are finishing their
number of visits to the church, there
are others beginning. At the establish
ment of the Holy Name Society last
Sunday there were about 100 men who
signified their Intention of becoming
members of the society. The reception
of the members will take place before
very long, as Father Wehrle is prepar-
ing grand programme for the occa-
sion.
The large parish debt that was not
only contracted but increased by the
purchase of the property now occupied
by the Sisters of Charity, who teach
the schools of the parish, and which
debt amounted last August to a little
over sixteen thousand dollars, has been
reduced through the energy Of the pas
tor to fourteen thousand dollars. Faith
er Wehrle. while soliciting subscrip-
tons for the liquidation of the debt
from his own people, will also CRATE
fully receive any donations that may
be rendered him by persons not OF his
own parish. He has been the recipient
of donations from members of the 0.
U. A. NJ. as well as of other persons.
On the other hand the Rev. Father
has positively declined to receive
money that was rendered him by some
persons who are keeping a house of ill
fame. The Rev. Father in refusing
donation from such persons says that
he cannot accept money that repre-
sents the price of virtue.
The gratifying condition of the
finances of the St. Johns parish may
be gathered from the fact that the
Rev. Pastor received an offer of five
thousand dollars for a loan for three
years at five per cent, and was forced
to decline the offer by reason of his
conviction that the debt of the parish
will be liquidated considerably before
that time.

SHE LOSES MAsrs IN A TERRIBLE
GALE.
Captain Dalton of the Upou Tries to
Tell His Friends About 1t with Vary

THE schooner Kowkikiwiki is partly

arrived i'm Honolulu this morning. Il

How did Kowki- whatever-it-is lose

Bad storm along the coast. Her

to make her way up the coast, and the
last time the gale took her masts off
and she had to make for HOnoipu.
There's two schooners there, the Con-
cord and the Kowkikweekly."
Reports soon spread around the wa

eral conversation along the front. BY
noon the many efforts made to speak
the awful name might have made
strong men shudder. Old timers met
and hurled frightful strings of vowels
at one another and then quarreled
over which string was right.
Captain Dalton remained serene, for
he was above controversy. He simply
made a point of pronouncing the name
differently every time he spoke it and
thus no one was able to pin him down
to any one version. Whenever he was
corrected he readily fell in with the
amendment that was proposed and so
he lost none of his friends, for he agreed
with them all.
Judge Wilcox was consulted, as an
expert in Hawaiian words. "A schoon-
er something like the Lulla, with a
name beginning with * was enough
description to cause Wilcox to speak
the outrageous word. No one on the
front would venture spelling it, but the
judge was ready.

PROMOTER OF BIG ENTERPRISE
on COAST.
Honolulu Boy Plans TO Import Million
Chinese Into MeXico-Comppny is
Capitalized at $l2, 800 600.

J.. *. Kentwell, the well known law
clerk ana Chinese interpreter of Ho-
nolulu, IS heralded in the san Fran
cisco Call as one of the promoters of
an immense enterprise to Colonize
l,VUO,OUO Chinese coolies i'm Mexico. The
scheme is one of the biggest on record
of It's kind, the capital of the concern
being 81, 100000, divided into 500. 900
shares Of $25 each. 1t is purpGsett. to
establish immense fisheries, farms and
the like along the Mexican Pacific coast
and in them establish the Chinese.
1t would appear, although nothing de-
finite is known here at this time that
kentwell was the central figure in
promoting the immense enterprise. He
is on the coast now. If this is the case
the young Honoluluan has made "A wide
sWdth of it, for he has succeeded in
interesting M. f. Tarpey, the well
known Democratic statesman who be-
comes the head of the company Mr.
Tarpcy is Il personal friend of Presi-
dent Diaz, of Mexico and from all ac-
counts, has secured not only the ap-
proVal but the support of that impOr-
tnat functionary in the project. A
vast concession of land is to be made
by the Mexican government and other
assistance is to be rendered by the
President himself.
The company will rely for it's profits
on an immense steamship business to
be built up between Mexico and China
and announces that its steamers will be
running within year. 1t is also stat
.ed that an agreement has already been
made with the two governments that
there shall be no duty on tea, rice and
other Chinese necessities at either end
of the line for a period of fifty years.
The project is a big one. 1t sounds
a bit hshy, but this may be because the
principal business Of the Chinese will
