OLIvET BAPTIST CHURCH,

During the annual cOnvOcatiOn cere-
monies of the Chicago University, Mr..
John D. Rockefeller, the great oil mag
nate, was the honored guest. of Presi-
dent Harper and during his visit to
Chicago he was Informed of the great
effort being made by the Rev. J. J.
Thomas and the faithful members Of
his church to free themselves of the
debt, which had been a menace to the
progress and advancement Of the
church. It is understood that Mr.
Rockefeller Informed Rev. Thomas that
if he and his members would raise the
sum of six thousand dollars by the first
day of January, 1902, that he would
give $4,000 and thereby completely
extinguish the church debt:
The pastor, members and friends Of
Olivet at once went to work with a
vim and determination to raise the
$4,000, and after six months of unre-
uniting labor they have succeeded and
On last Monday Rev. Thomas and his
trustees deposited that sum in the
First National Bank and notified Mr.
Rockefeller of the fact An Appeal
representative was informed by a
prominent official of the church that
there was not the least doubt but that
the church debt would be completely
wiped out in a day or SO, and that Mr..
Rockefeller had expressed great sat
isfaction In being able to thus aid his
struggling and deserving brethren.
Great praise and credit is due Rev.
y. r. Thomas, the officers, members
and friends of Ofiyet for their great
work in raising the amount necessary
to secure the $4,000 from that prince
of benevo1ence-Mr Rockefeller.
The OHvet church was organized in
the early sos and before the purchase
of the present site, at 9th and Dear
born streets, Worshiped for years in
Harmon place, near State street.

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1902-05-01

The May Day festival so successfully
and happily inaugurated by the schools
last year was celebrated again today.
Owing to the exercises at the Opera
House this evening for the benefit of
the Mckinley Memorial Fund, the May
Day festival today was not so elabor-
ate as it was last year. Nevertheless
the spirit of the occasion was there,
which is the main thing. Perhaps in
few places i'm the world can such a cos
mopolitan and polyglot assemblage OF
school children be gathered, But poly
glot as it is, the children and the
school children are the one interest
which the entire community has in
common. Parental love and parental
pride knows no limitations of race or
nationality In effort for the education
and the good of childhood and youth,
the community, diverse as it Is, is
welded in one common sentiment. This
is the hope of Hawaii; it Is the hope
of the world.

Deducting the amount re-exported, the
net imports stand: for the three years
following June 3d. 1898, 1890 5l7
pounds, for the three years immediate
Iy preceding June 30, 1898, 213,9i5, O91
pounds This gives an average imror-
tauon for consumption during those
two periods of over IA pounds per cap
tia per aunum in the three-year period
prior to June 50, 1898. and but little
over one pound per capita per annum
in the three-year period following that
date,
This reduction i'm the Importation of
tea since the imposition of the customs
duty upon that article has been accom-
plished by a corresponding increase in
the importation of coffee. In the three
years following June 80, 1898, the total
Importation of coffee was 2,47469O, 2S4
pounds against Kiss, 75S, Gao pounds in
the three years Immediately preceding
that date; and the per capita imports
for consumption for the latter three
three years averaged 1O.4 pounds per
annum, compared with 9.9 pounds for
the three years prior to June 80, 1898.
Ii is proper to add, however, that dur
ing the three years since 1898 prices of
coffee have been much lower than
those of the Immediately preceding per-
iod the average import price per
pound, as shown by the figures Of the
Treasury Bureau of Statistics since the
fiscal year 1898 having averaged 6.7c.
per pound, against an average of lie.
for the three years Immediately pre-
ceding 1898; while in the case of tea the
import price per pound, exclusive of
course of duties, shows but slight fiuc-
tuations.
The following table shows the total
Importation of tea and coffee in each
fiscal year from 1890 to 1901, and for the
eight months ending with February;

While various interests are urging
upon the Public Works Department,
the Strengthening, widening and i'm
proving Of sundry streets, one Of the
main thoroughfares of the city, per-
haps the best known business street,
Fort street, still exhibits all the lido
syncracies Of the COW path era. Fort
street between King and Hotel, needs
improvement worse than almost any
other, if not worse than any other. It's
joys and angles are a discredit to the
city. It's proper improvement would
seem to be a greater necessity at this
time than the widening of Waikiki
road, and certainly than the expensive
matchmaking Of Kewalo street, which
is not "A through street for any locality
and is bordered for considerable dis
tances by more sorghum patches than
houses.

TEA VERSUS COFFEE.

Considerable interest is felt as to the
effect which the removal Of the tea inn
port duties will have upon the con-
sumption of that article in the United
States. The import figures covering
the period since the imposition Of an
import duty upon tea dune 10, 1889 do
not justify. the assertion frequently
made some years since that a small
tax would increase the consumption Of
tea by insuring better qualities. The
average annual importation of tea
since the enactment of the law which
