MISSIONARIES WELL PAID.
Married Men Receive One Thousand
Dollars q Year and Travel
ing Expenses.

The foreign missionary does not
work for love of humanity alone. He
is a well-paid person, and instead of
having the usual Sundays and holi-
DAYS of rest like other folks he is
given years vacation with salary
every once in from four to ten years,
says the Philadelphia Call. The mar
ried men missionaries in China re-
ceve $1,000 year and travel pay.
When missionaries who are married
have children old enough to require
to be kept in school away from home
they are allowed $50 additional. If
young children are with their parents
and to be supported 800 additional
is allowed for each child. Of course
these salaries include house rentals
and travelling expenses to and from
the stations.
When missionaries take vacation
of a year their travelling expenses to
this time and almost their full salary
likewise allowed them. More than
the salary must, of course be the inn
pelling motive when missionaries go
to such fields as China.
1t is good, too, to learn that the la
borers are not lacking even in the
face of such horrors as it is feared
have recently been inflicted on Gospel
workers in China. Even at the pres
ent moment foreign mission boards
are in receipt of hundreds of letters
from volunteers who clamor to be sent
to the land of the Celestials.

a v9oaaer...I cfisr 10 Women.

We have received word of most remark
able offer which IS to be made to women by
The Detinedtor, of New York.
Taking the fact that next year begins a
new century, The Deliaeator offers to distrl-
bute ST., 500 among 1901 women. The plan
is so cleverly arranged that a woman living in
small town or village, has just as good
chance to win one OF these 1901 prizes as q
woman living in a eity-beeause the prizes
are given for tho number of subscriptions
secured in town in proportion to the popu-
lation OF tia. town, instead of being given
simply to those who send the largest list of
ubserbers-wheh of course, are most easily
obtained in Big cities. Another clever feature
of the plan is, that all the cities and towns of
the United States and Canada have been ar
ranged in seven classes The cities of the
grentest population are grouped in Glass /,
and as these cities are not very many, the
prizes offered are twenty-eight; the high
est prize being $500, and the lowest $500.
The total amount of prizes given away in this
class is S. 900. Tho remaining smaller towns
and villages fail into SIX other classes, and as
the number OF towns in class increases. be-
cause, of course, there are more small towns
than large ones the amount of prizes given
away to class increases, SO that in Glass 7,
there will be $4,000 distributed among COL
winners
Furthermore, to everyone who fails to win
one of the 1901 prizes there will be paid an
extra commission on subscriptions, provided
they equal one out of every two hundred in
habitants of the town from which the con-
tcstant sends them.
This is altogether very liberal offer, and
one which the famous old Deiinedtor is we'll
able to make good. From our point of view,
we do not see why such an offer needs to be
made by the Publishers Of The Deiiaeator, for
we believe it already has nearly half million
subscribers. Its strong hold upon the affec.
tons OF American women has come in the
past generation, from its practical advice
about dress details and home matters

ample explanation in the melancholy

prised that 35,448 letters addressed to
the Transvaal and the Orange Free

The NELSON'S DIFFICULTY

The Charles Nelson. the initial
steamer of the British-American
Steamship Co. to reach this port. left
Saturday morning for Kahuui to load
sugar for San Francisco
From the time the steamer sighted
Honolulu until her departure she has
had more than her share of trouble.
Arriving off the harbor several days
ago, the master of the steamer. Captain
Anderson. not being acquainted with
the quarantine laws which provide for
inspection Of vessels before entering
port. came into the harbor and was
boarded by the doctor. who informed
him Of the fact that he had violated
a ruling of the department.
After the quarantine doctor had
made the necessary examination AMI
inspection, the captain was then per-
mitted to dock the steamer. and what
passengers were on board were allowed
to go ashore.
~ u"s VI ~ hiNtl utl dillNdi sue was
threatened with libel suit by the H.
ter-Island Steamship Company to re-
cover the sum of s2517 as salvage for
hauling her off the reef at Hanamaulu
on Kauai, during her previous trip
here. The matter was finally compro-
missed and settled out of court.
II will be remembered that the Char
les Nelson was in the Nome service for
while and from some apparent dis
satisfaction or misunderstanding
among the passengers relative to the
quality and quantity Of the food pro-
vided II was heralded broadcast in
glowing headlines by the San Francis
co Examiner, that the passengers had
actually INDUCED in a little hanging
bee, the victim being no less a per-
sonage than our esteemed friend Cap
tain Anderson. who sailed the same
steamer out Of port Saturday morning
for Kahului and San Francisco. II IL
to be hoped that all future trips OF the
genial captain to the port OF Honolulu
will be most pleasant.
