WHY WE DOWTGO TO CHURCH
BY REV. CHARLES II. PARKHURST.

The great underlying cause of the falling off in
church attendance of years is the fact that so
MANY churches enter into sort of competition with
other attractions of the Sabbath.
The church of to-day degrades itself to the people
instead of lifting the people to ITSELF fear that in its
efforts to popuarze itself the church forgets the sphere
to which it belongs When tries secularize itself
to please every passing fad of the hour when
to little sdeshows and that are beneath its
dignity the modern church forgets its lofty mission

Miss Stones wander,nss.

Commenting on her five months
wanderings with the Balkan brigands
who held her for ransom. Miss Ellen
Stone said the other day AT times
our captors seemed TO be very appre-
hensive. and would creep ahead of US,
darting from rock to rock, like the pic
lures OF Indians in the old school
books. Finally we were told that the
newspapers were printing our pictures
and making great fuss about US.
Then they WOULD taunt US. and tell us
that money and only money would set
us free. / was forced to write the let
tiers that you all have read in the
newspapers, but I had to do it or die
In this way they carried us on, until
shortly before our release they came
to us. and, pointing to both Mrs. Tsilka
and Myself. said: If the money is not
in our hands in twenty days there is a
bullet for you and for you and we
knew by their hideous faces that they
spoke the truth. But within twenty
days the sixty-five thousand dollars
came. and We were released, although
We did not know at the time that our
freedom had come. The main body OF
the brigands merely went ahead, and
left US to the care OF two men, who
escorted us to a mountain village, and
before We knew what had happened
they had gone and we were free

LOADING MACHINE
TESTED YESTERDAY
(From Thursdays Daily.)

Shipping and sugar men were visiting
the big steel ship Acme at the Rail
road wharf all day yesterday to wit
ness the working of the McCabe, Ham
ilton and Kenny companys electric con-
veyor. These conveyors were brought
to the Islands about two years ago
but until the electric company installed
their new machinery some difficulty
was experienced In getting sufficient
power to drive them. Now, however,
new dynamos have been installed and
the test yesterday was most satisfac-
tory.
The frame of the conveyor If of steel
and contains wooden rollers, over which
passes a canvas belt driven by cleo
trio power, which conveys the sugar
bags from the cars over the ships side,
n distance of fifty feet. whence they
fall by means of chutes into the ships
hold.
The machine was not worked to its
full capacity yesterday but by means
of regulators was evenly and smartly
operated to the entire satisfaction of
the parties interested, as well as the
spectators.
The conveyor will carry about four
teen bags at a time and can be run so
as to deliver faster than any number
of men can stow the cargo. All staging
and hoisting. of cargo is done away
with. meaning great saving in labor
as well as time.
Bagged cargoes of all kinds, bales
and packages can be handled by the
conveyor and delivered to the ship
much faster than the old way and in
unbroken condition. At present there
are but two of these conveyors here
but II seems quite probable there will
be demand for more.
The Acme is loading sugar for New
York and Will finish some time this
week

The lepers now insist on original ac-

pcaled TO the Federal authorities to act
Ia the matter The first appeal for
such action was made some time ago
to United States Judge NJ. NJ. Estee,
being i'm the form OF "A resolution call
ing for protection from the United
tes authorities, failing in which the
lcpers added that they would appeal to
the Department of Justice at Wash
ingtOn for redress. This resolution was
signed by Ambrose Hutchinson and
prominent natives at MolOkai, claiming
10 represent all the people confined at
the settlement, and was a cleverly
worded appeal to the court for imme-
diate action. The isolated position o:
the lepers, and their Inadequate remedy

The engine turned down Merchant

premises from the rear While the
hose was being laid duh glare told
that the flames were gaining headway,
and almost Immediately after, the roar
of the flames warned the hremen that

Up the ladders climbed the fire boys,

The blaze was soon eXtinguished. A
stream OF water directed at the heart
of the fire did the business and the as
sembled crowd dispersed with the idea
that such very small fire was hardly
worth running to see.
1t was not such an insignificant
blaze after all, however. Dickey and
Newcomb's clerks and private offices
were completely gutted. The clerks
room was the worse burned and every
thing in 1t was wrecked by water. The
fire swept around the corridor and
burned through door to "A small
closet. G. w. Dickey's private office,
handsomely fitted up several months
ago, was ruined. and everything in it,
including number OF valuable docu-
ments, destroyed by fire or water.

QUESTION ISSUE OF
TREASURY NOTES

Some of the attorneys OF the city are
now discussing the legality OF the pro-
posed issue of $500 in treasury notes
to be made soon by Treasurer Wright.
1t is claimed by several that the con-
templated action is not legal, though
II is highly improbable that anything
further than mere discussion will come
of It.
1t is argued that the treasury notes
are In effect letters of credit. which
States are prohibited from issuing un-
der the constitution. The constitution
does not, however, extend the law to
Territories. and this contention is
thought, even by its advocates, TO be OF
a rather doubtful nature.
Another point made is that section 55
OF the organic act prohibits such issue
in the following words: Nor shall any
debt be authorized to be contracted by
or on behalf of the Territory, or any
political or municipal corporation, or
subdivision thereof, except to pay in
terest upon the existing indebtedness,
to suppress insurrection, or to provide
for the common defense, except that in
addition to any Indebtedness created
for such purposes the legislature may
authorize loans by the Territory OF any
such subdivision thereof for the erec-
tion Of penal, charitable and education
al institutions, and for public build
ings, wharves, roads. and harbors and
other public improvements"
Governor Cooper. when asked about
the matter yesterday. said that the
raising of these questions at this time
was simply an attempt to embarrass
the government in its effort TO secure
funds. The legislature had given the
Territory the right to borrow money on
treasury notes by the act OF 1897, and
II is under this act that the treasurer
il proceeding. In his opinion the treas
ury notes were not letters of credit but
simply promises by the government 10
pay its obligations within n specified
time. Both he and Treasurer Wright
were anxious that the credit Of the Ter
ritory should not suffer, and the treas
ury note act was appealed to 80 that
the people might not suffer by being
compelled to discount their warrants
The approval of the President was un-
necessary in this instance. Just as II
| would be in the making of any con-
tract by the government, where land
| transfers are rot involved There Is
no difference in getting the advance OF
| this amount for six months from q
$50 COO contract made by the Superin-
tendent OF Public Works. TO be paiG
upon the completion OF the work.
That the people do not mistrust the
government or the legality OF the ac,
eral inquiries made yesterday of Treas
urer Wright in regard to the proposes
issue or treasury notes.
