BOYCoTT THEIR MINISTER

Man Threatened with Starvation by His
Dissenting Practitioners.
A remarkable boycott has been be-
gun on the island of st. Kilda, off the
coast of Scotland. against the Rev. Mr..
Fiddes. 1t is a forcible expression of
the opposition of his parishioners TO
the religious views of the minister,
who now is threatened with starvation
by reason of the refusal of the island-
ers to help him transport his winter
supply Of provisions.
Mr.. Fiddes, who was a minister of
the Free Church of Scotland. Joined the
majority OF the General Assembly in
forming the United Free Church along
with the United Presbyterians. The
Highland congregations Of the Free
Church refused to join the new body.
The people Of St. Kilda have taken a
similar stand. and bitterly resent the
attitude adopted by Mr.. Fiddes.
The steamer Hebrides called at st.
Kilda on Thursday with stores. The
islanders took away their own goods.
but stubbornly refused to take their
minister's stock Of coal and provisions
ashore in the ferry. Consequently they
had to D. kept on the vessel.
Mr.. Fiddes tent a message to the cap
tain stating that he would have men
and boats waiting to take the goods
OIL on the vessels arrival at Obbe. but
when the steamer reached there no one
appeared, and the goods could not be
landed.
As this was the last trip Of the ves-
sci this season, Mr.. Fiddes is in danger
of being left without his usual supplies
for nine months.
1t is stated in Glasgow that the
United Free Church will not allow
their representative to remain in this
awkward predicament, and that a re-
lief expedition will be organized.-New
