EXPERIENCE MEETING.

Following the sermon the Glee

thrown open for what the natives
know a. Expressions of Faith"
This part OF thu tervice was very
similar to the experience meeting
which is sometimes held ia connec.
ton with the mid-week prayer ssr-
vices in some orthodox Protestant
churches. 1t is, however, different
in one respect. While ia the Pro-
testant experience meeting" those
participating give their testimony
one after another, 10 the Hawaiian
service each thought was chorused
and ampiified by the pastor; thus,
IL trust that am on the road to
heaven"

never stray from the straight aud

The whole service lasted about
an hour. During it a large and at

service was conducted entirely 10

difference. There WAS a strange

the Hawaiian theater and in the

Midways. while in certain de-
gree possessing an educational
value, have not come t. be looked
upon as particularly Cody streets,
but the Hawaiians are Cody race
and wherever they are found they
do not fear or hesitate to make
public profession OF their Christian
i'y. To one who has not witnessed
such a service there is something
jarring in the mere thought of a
hula-hula dancer giving q "testi-
mony," aud it is apt to strike him as
a sacreligious act.
HULA HULA AN INNOCENT DANCE.
But the hula hula, however it may
he regarded here, is an innocent ex-
preston. OF native grace to.the Ha.
waiiaus, and they do not regard il
as dance unhecoming one of
Christian profession at all. Viewed
from the native standpoint, at least,
there is nothing wrong in it, and to
them the fact that a girl is a nula-
hula dancer does not detract from
the sincerity of her Christian p-ofes
sions. That this is the light 10
which they regard their perform
auces is shown by the evident siu-
c,rity and devotion OF the Hawaiian.
during their services yesterday.
Perhaps it was this, as much OF the
novelty of seeing God worshipp,d
on the Midway, which attracted a
large crowd about the doorway If

SONG OPENS SERVICE.
The service opened with song
"Imi he Kahu," the trauslat on OF

This was followed by PRAYER by
Kualil, one Of the natives. N xt on
the programme was song, I'll Can

by the quartette, the Kamehameha

the Hawaiians, took the Scripture

followed by the old familiar hymn,

sheriff Of the county, a prominent Re
publican politician, was convicted
here yesterday OF robbery. The mini
mum sentence for this offense is five
years in the penitentiary. The prin-
cipal witnesses for the prosecution were
two Jewish peddlers, Solomon and ia
cob IRISH. Solomon claims that last
summer, while the mayor was holding
court in a saloon, he was convicted of
selling goods without license. He re-
fused TO pay the fine and charges that
he was tied hands and feet by the
mayor and the town marshal and left
lying face up in the broiling hot sun I'M
til he agreed to pay the fine. He was re-
leased and paid the fine Jacob claims
TO have been similarly treated when he
was fined Oy the same mayor in the
same manner and for the same offense.
In addition to being placed in the sun
tied hand and foot, molasses was
spread on his face, which attracted
flies and ants until they were a posi-

was released. The two brothers. learn

before the grand jury and had the
mayor indicted with the result indicat-

The morning opened dull and threat

TWO YEAR CONTRACTS.
VANTAGE OF BOTH MINERS
AND OPERATORS.
THE BIG ANTHRACITE STRIKE.
AND THE ORGANIZATIONS GROWTH
DWELT UPON IN THE ANNUAL
REPORT.

INDIANAPOLIS, January 23-Pres-
ident John Mitchell's annual address
was the feature of to-day's session of
the convention, United Mine Workers
OF America. 1t contained $1,000
words, being the longest ever pre-
scented to a miners convention. He
went into the details of the anthra-
cite strike of last September and an
nOunced that the organization S
growth during the past year surpass-
ed even the extraordinary increase
reported in 1899. There was in De-
cember 1900, a membership Of 1S9,-
S2S. In reference to arbitration Pres
ident Mitchell said:
The advantages to miners and op-
orators alike where mutual contracts
are entered into for a given period
of time have become SO obvious that
l am convinced that even more sat
isfactory results would accrue to each
and greater stability and permanence
be given the coal trade if contracts
We're entered into which would insure
uninterrupted employment for a pc
riod of two years instead of one, and l
should advise that our delegation
propose to the operators at the joint
convention that the agreement, if one
can be enacted, be made to continue
for two years, and as a further pro-
lection against strikes which are caus-
ed through miSinterpretations or mis-
understandings of the provisions of
our joint agreements, l would recon-
mend that our organization propose
TO the operators the formation of a
joint board Of arbitration and con-
cination. whose duty it shall be to
adjust all disputes arising between
operators and miners over the con-
struction or Interpretation of the pro-
visions OF the joint agreement; the
services Of such board to be called
upon only where adjustments cannot
be effected by the ordinary and estab-
lished methods now in force."

CITY TAKES NO NOTICE
Of the Death OF Foreign Monarcl
Says Mayor Van Wyck, of New Yoy

Of the Death of Foreign Monarchs.
Says Mayor Van Wyck, of New York.
NEW YORK, January 23.-While
many flags throughout the city were
lowered to half mast out of respect
for Queen Victorias memory, that
on the city hall was not when asked
why no official notice had been taken
of her death, Mayor Van Wyck is re-
ported to have replied:
i know that the flag has not been
lowered. This city takes no notice
of the death of foreign monarchs."
Corporation Counsel Whelen said
that he knew of no ordinance prohib-
itlng the mayor from showing official
respect to foreign nations upon the
death Of their rulers.
Mayor Van Wyck explained the rea-
son why the flag on the city hall has
not been placed at half mast. He
said:
The flag on the city hall was not
ordered at half mast because there is
no precedent for it. On the contrary
the precedent in this and former al
ministrations has been against it's
lowering on the death of any foreign
poetntate or general, / found that
the flag was not lowered when Presi-
dent CarnOt was assassinated. nor
when the Empress Of Austria was as
sassinated; neither was it placed at
half mast on the death of the Empe-
rOr of Russia nor when King Hum
bert was murdered.
You must remember that MANY
people come here and want the flag
on the city hall to be lowered for GER
tain reasons. When Joubert died l
had hundreds of letters requesting me
to take notice of it by placing the
flag at half mast. Almost all my per
sonal friends in the city asked this
as favor. Yet I did not accede to
the request. My personal inclinations
were strongly in that direction, for l
believed at that time the British were
numbering brave people to rob them
of their freedom and their country"

Will Be Performed at Osborne House
To-Day-The Final Scenes in the
Death Chamber.
COWES, Isle of Wight, January "a,
a. NAT IL O'Clock this morning the
members of the royal family will gather
around the body of the late Queen,
which lies in simple coffin in the
chapelle Ardente, festooned with red
and white hangings. The Bishop of
Winchester, standing before an altar
removed for the occasion from the pri-
vate chapel, will read a portion of the
service for the dead.
The coffin rests upon a specially
erected platform drapedt with royal
purple, the feet lying to the east. The
head faces the simple altar. Over the
features is a thin veil.
For few hours after the conclusion
of this service, the public will be ad-
mitted to the room and allowed to re-
view the remains Of the sovereign who
so long ruled over them. The body
will rest there until Sunday and prob
ably no removal will occur for ten
days.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press learns that the cause for the
Queens death as officially given was
"Senile decay" The doctors have
adopted this expression as most suit
able and truthful. They attribute the
paralysis which attacked her as Sec
ondary to the general weakness of her
condition, nor is it considered advi5-
able for reasons of state to intimate
that her intellect was dimmed by this
particular form of disease.
The Final scenes.
Details of the dying hours were not
obtainable until late last evening. 1t
appears that the Queen was moved
on Sunday from her big bed into a
small cot specially built with springs
which was surrounded by a screen.
This was to enable the doctors to
reach the patient easily on both sides,
which was impossible when she lay
in a bed six feet wide. In this small
bed she passed away. When Empe-
rOr William arrived he rushed with
out taking off his overcoat to her bed
side, and the first words he said were
words of regret that his mother was
unable to come Yes" murmured
the queen, L wish NtcKy could be
here" using a pet name of her eldest
daughter.
On Tuesday afternoon all the mem
bers of the family were in readiness
for the end. At the Prince of Wales

he was Joined by the other members
of the family. At o'clock the Ouch

consciousness. At s: Is p. m, the end
was thought to have come. The Prince
of Wales and several others walked

Yesterday. fight was made by some

the announcement of the vote by which

This morning Dir. Jackson introduc-

forced through under the gag law.

sharp passage at arms took place
between the speaker and Mr.. Alder

The Speaker, becoming so tangled I'D
in maze of motions that he did not
know which one of the boys he was.
could not state the motion upon which
the ayes and noes were demanded. and
finally when he announced the result
of the vote, made it apply to the
wrong motion.
Meantime
Anderson Was Hammering MIN

was referred TO by Anderson as the In

Alderson's resolution for the Ser

the hall of the house was Allied with
the curious who were eager TO witness

all disappointed for there was nothing
in the proceedings beyond the mere
announcement of the result, and the
declaring Mr.. Elkins elected for the
