We had lovely treasure once,
he was our joy and pride,

For soon he slept and died.

Lonely are our hearts to-day,
For the one we loved so dearly,
Has forever passed away.

Mitchell knew all about the affair at
the First Baptist Church meeting with
in three hours after he reached the city
from Norfolk where he had been the
Monday night before to institute new
lodge.
None of this information has come
from either the clerk or acting clerk.
Neither was it secured from the church
books. He has been careful not to even
converse with these officials upon the
subject for fear that some one might
presume that the information came
from this quarter

Pekin, March 12.-The Chinese gov

States minister, Mr. Conger, a strong
memorial against the re-enactment Of
the Chinese exclusion law by the
United States. The government here
particularly objects to the exclusion
Of Chinese from the Philippine and

the Chinese had acquired extensive
commercial interests there and were
closely connected with the islands by
family ties, SO that repression or free
intercourse would result in peculiar
hardships.

SISTER HE NLRTT'S
EXPLANATION
Created Excitement Last Sun
day Morning.
NO COWARD-WHY SHE SAID THE
CHURCH BOOKS SHOULD BE
LOCKED UP.

Sister Margaret Hewlett, who weighs
snywhere from 175 to $50 pounds, Great
ed some excitement at the First Bap-
tist Church last Sunday morning after
services. She was highly disgusted
over the report in the PLANET concern
ing her wanting the church books lock-
ed mp. She was after the Acting Clerk.
Thomas H. Wyatt, whom she believed
told the PLANETS reporter about the
affair. She wanted the deacons to take
the matter up as she regarded the affair
as injuring her character.
She had communication which
she desired to have published in the
EVENING LEADER, but is seems that the
journal declined TO do so.
This did not put Brother Thomas II.
Wyatt is the best of humor, because he
Knew ne had not given oat any inform
alton whatever.
WHITE GENTLESfAN'S OPINION.
Sister Hewlett called at the PLANET
Office. Editor Mitchell was ont, but
later met her ON the street She ex-
planned that she had been incorrectly
reported. A white gentleman had told
her that the reports of the First Church
meeting must have been written bv
some one who was there and took down
the proceedings. From this. she was of
the opinion that the church. books must
have been left so that some one could
examine them
She had said while coming up from
the church that the books should be
looked after. Brother Wyatt came TO
ha ,cl-a y
fleet on him and she said she did not
She never ate her words and She was no
coward. She did not say that She
didn't know what she was talking
about.
Brother Jonathan had said she didn't
have any sense or didn't know what she
was talking about and her daughter had
told him that was her mother he was
talking 10. Brother Jonathan had not
replied in the best of humor.
THOUGHT BROTHER WYATT DID 1T.
She had said that if Brother Wyatt
had carried the news TO the
PLANET, he was no better than a muir
derer. She had written piece TO be pub
hshed, but the pastor had advised her
not to do it.
Editor Mitchell asked her for the
communication, saying that he would
publish any article she might bring to
him.
She declared that the sisters had in
terrupted Brother Farley not about his
saying the women should not be allow
ed TO vote, but because he spoke in the
way he did about the dead pastor.
She Thought the deacons were the
cause or all the trouble any way. There

HOLDERS TROUBLE

There are always two sides to story
and that told by L. L. McCandless with
reference to a trespass case which is
to be tried this morning at the Waia-
hole court house differs materially from
that told by T. F. Lansing, the plain
tiff in the case. A statement with ref
erence to the proposed trial was pup
Ished yesterday afternoon in which
Mr. Lansing tells of alleged wrongs
done him by Patrick Cullen in that the
from land claimed by Lansing, despite
Mr. Lansing's protests.
According to Mr.. McCanGless' side OF
the story, which is in favor of Mr.. Gull
Ie1., he says that in Mr.. Lansing's land
at Waiahole there are two house lots
constituting about quarter OF an acre,
each lying within the property owned
by Mr.. Lansing. The Cullens. who own
these kuleanas, have grown trees on
them, raised sorghum, fenced them IN.
and on one of the lots S. Cullen has
lived for a quarter of century. On
Saturday Mr.. Lansing went to -Waia-
mole. accompanied by a helper, and al
legedly without any notice whatever to
the Cullens, tore down their fences,
pIoughed up the land, cut the sorghum,
DESTROYED the trees and then took pos
session. Patrick Cullen came there aft
EDWARDS and restored the fence, and
again Mr.. Lansing threw ii down. The
Cullens since Saturday have again re-
built the fence. =
Mr. McCandless says one OF the lots
was surveyed in 1879 by Prof. Lyons
and Dove made a survey OF the land in
1897, making the locations OF the two
lots at that time.
