tofore having been sent TO the sub

is a clause which authorizes the re-
demption of the bonds of the Republic
of Hawaii and appropriates over 49,
000. 900 for that purpose and payment
of interest which will be due before
payment may be made.
The most important bill which fail
ed was that which authorized the re-
demption of Hawaiian currency and
coinage The failure of the river and
harbor bill knocked out the surveys
of the harbors of the ISLANDS, while
provisions for a revenue cutter and
the investigation of lands were cut
out in conference

CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
WANTS Mr.. CORY
offers Him the Passionate and
He Has not Decided
as Yet.

7 Rev. E. A. Cory, for some months past
acting pastor of the Christian Church,
has received the compliment of the
church's call as its permanent pastor.
At meeting of the church officers the
invitation was decided upon, and Mr.
Cory was then verbally called, but the
invitation was extended in writing and
it was announced at the Sunday morn
ing services.
Whether or not the popular young min
lister will accept the call he is not yet
able to say. He has been acting pastor
ever since the close of Rev. j. c. Hays
pastorate, and the call comes to him as
the highest evidence of approval from
the church and its people of the work
he has done in the position.
His principal labors have been along
the evangelical line with the Young
; Mems Christian Association and the
Young Peoples Society work. Some time
ago he went to the Philippines for the
purpose of organizing Young Mems Chris
tian Associations among the soldiers.
Though a young man. Mr.. Cory has done
a great deal of active work, ministerial
and pastoral. His plans have been CEN
tered upon entering the mission field, and
he does not as yet know whether he will
follow this line or accept the permanent
pastorate offered him here. His decision
will be given the church officers within
a few days.

TALE OF a LOST DOG
How Charitable Policeman Waited
in Vain for Owner.

Have you had a dog brought here?'
queried d gentleman of the minions of
the law, who pass the day somnolently
in the Deputy Sherif's office.
What kind of dog?' asked the clerk
of the court without looking up from a
treatise on law over which he was dill
gently bordering.
"A bulldog, white and much SCARED, =
replied the gentleman, land L am au-

Five minutes elapsed and a philan-
thropic- looking individual entered the
police station leading NANCY and de-
crepit canine of the bull breed
who's lost dog?" quoth he.
Bring him right in,'' exclaimed Ches-
table waiting for the evening papers to
arrive. Goodbye"
Doyle spent the next fifteen minutes
te1ephoning that the dog had been found
and telling to whom to send the reward.
When he left the phone the dog had
gone and shortly afterwards Doyle was
going down Merchant street hot on the
trail.
In the course of the afternoon the
MISUNDERSTANDING individual and the
cur again visited the station together.
Here he is, boys" said he; don't let
him go this time When the owner. Mr..

him where his pet is, why don't allow
any false notions of pride to stand in the
way, but just take the reward he offers

The gentlemen in the office then wran-
gled who should hold the dog till the

owner arrived and the privilege finally
went to the man who was sitting closest
to the door when the dog was brought
in.
The MISUNDERSTANDING individual
said that at late hour last evening a
quartet of officials were still taking
turns at holding the dog, pending the ar
rival of it's owner with the five dollars
reward
why didn't you deliver the dog your
self and get~the reward?" was asked.
"Oh, the man who offered the reward
told me that the dog was not his when
showed it to him early in the after
noon," was the innocent reply.
