- HESE CHURCHES Were organized
by the American Protestant mis-
sfonaries the first OF whom arrived IN
1890 With their great caution in receiV-
ing the heather Hawaiians to baptism
and church privileges. it was not until
1875 that the first church of native mem
bers was organized In Honolulu. BY 1897
a total of 11sS persons had been admitted
to church membership. In 1889 a mighty
religious awakening pervaded the group
resulting in a total of over 10000 church
members OUT of a population of 12o,Ooo-
With the present decrease of the pure
Hawaiians to about 10000. the protestant
church membership has declined TO
3760. as officially reported in June. 1871
Estimating the pure Hawaiians as 5000
this makes the membership about one
eighth of the whole. Affiliated with the
actual members of the church may be es-
timated at least three times as many.
so that one-half of the people may be
considered as Professionals. The other
half are mainly divided between the Ro-
man Catholics and the Mormons.
AS a marked indication Of the superior
moral and social condition OF native
Protestant families may Justly be cited

Der, but 1t is proper to state that con-
siderable amounts, possibly as mucn az
one-half are contributed in aid by
friendly foreigners. and are counted In
with the gifts of the native members
These churches are organized into five
Island associations. viz: those of East
Hawaii, West Hawaii, Maui and Molo-
kai, Oahu, and Kauai. These local asso-
Citations meet twice each year. Inc
whole are also united into one large body
known as 1.-The Hawaiian Evangelical
Association" which meets once in each
year and is attended by all pastors and
affiliated ministers, and by lay delegates
from each of the Island associations.
The government of the churches is
nominally Congregational, but largely
partakes of Presbyterian elements. The
internal discipline of each church is prac-
tically in the hands of a body of lunas
or elders, elected annually, supervised
by the pastor. The Island Associations
resemble Presbyteries in most Of their
functions. They ordain ministers, IL
cense preachers, install, dismiss and dis
cipline pastors try cases of discipline ap-
pealed to them from the churches, and
exercise judicial functions generally, like
PreSbyterieS.
The General Cor Hawaiian EvangelicaD
Association has many of the functions of
a Presbyterian Synod, exercising judicial
and legislative powers as occasion arises.
Its sessions are largely occupied with
hearing and passing upon reports on the
state of the churches in each Island As
ISOLATION, and statistical reports from
each individual church. One of it's du-
ties is annually to elect in turn one-third
of the members of board, which Is COM
monty known 1.-The Hawaiian Board"
although its official title Is 1.-The Board
of the Hawaiian Evangelical Associa-
ton
The Hawaiian Board Is composed of
from twenty-five to thirty members, each
serving for three years. 1t is composed
this year of twenty-nine members there
being nine white clergymen and six
tive ditto with fourteen white clergy
men and four native ditto with one Chi
nese Its officers for the present year
are the following:
Hon. J. B. Atherton, President.
Hon. Henry Waterhouse. Vice Presi-
dent.
Rev. o. P. Emerson, Corresponding
Secretary.
Rev. T. Leadingham, Recording Secre-
tary.
Theo. Richards, Treasurer.
F. ]. Lowrey, Auditor.

that institution for twelve years. In
1877, he removed to Honolulu, on ac
count of nervous head trouble. Here
Mr.. Bishop was employed from 1880 to
1885 as an assistant in the Government
Survey and for seven years more in
work as a private surveyor. From 1893
to 1898, he did considerable newspaper
work. writing about $50 letters as a
correspondent of the Washington Even
ing Star, and about so letters to the
New York Independent. These letters
were all written in support of the
Queens dethronement, and of the
movement for Annexation.
For fourteen and half years past,
DR.. Bishop has edited The Friend, Il
monthly religious journal, established
by Rev. S. G. Damon in 1S43. Besides
such journalistic work, he has published
several short papers. notably in 1884 an
essay on the Krakatoa Red CLOVIS.
which won the third of the Warner
prizes offered. In June 1896, he re-
ceived from his Alma Mater, fifty years
after graduating. the degree of Doctor
in Divinity. DR.. Bishop still resides in
Honolulu, at the age of nearly 10, with
strength still adequate for some work.

ALLEGED COMBINATION.

Chicago, July 29.-The reports of an
alleged combination of the meat packing
industry will not down. According to re-
ports prevalent in La Sale street. the
plants of Swift, Armour and Nelson
Morris are to be merged within the next
few months. Rumors have it that Kuhn,
Loeb & Co., of New York, were asked to
float the deal, but they demandeda COM
mission so great that the companies
are doing the underwriting themselves.
Representatives of the companies say
that it is sheer nonsense. A local paper
says: "The packers and some of their
attorneys have left the city ostensibly for
the purpose of taking their summer va
cations, but their real purpose is declar-
ed to be to meet in New York early this
week to complete their preparations for
merging the large plants of Armour,
Swift aud Morris, under one manage
ment and elect officers. Two weeks after
the meeting in New York city the
officers of the trust corporation will, 1t i
said, gather at a secret meeting place al
some point in Europe for the purpose o.
devising plans of gaining control o.
the packing business in Europe, anc
finally of the world"

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in theciviiz.
ed world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Hliousness.
Doctors were scarce, and they seldom
heard of Appendicitis, Nervous Pros
tration or Heart failure, etc. They used
August Flower to clean out the system
and stop fermentation ofundigested food,
regulate the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches and
other aches. You only need few doses
of Green's August Flower, in liquid form,
to make you satisfied there is nothing
serious the matter with you. You can
get DR.. G. G. Green's reliable remedies
at Z. S. Leadbeater &Sons. Get Green's

TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.
THE CORONATION

London, July 29.-The admission
tickets to the Abbey ceremony of the
coronation were issued today. They
bear no date and are worded simply:
s.The coronation of their majesties,
1902" The tickets are causing con-
siderable comment, as on the face OF them
they show the official uncertainty as to
whether it may not be necessary to again
postpone the ceremony.
Birmingham, Eng, July 29.-Ihe
Post today speaking of the probable pro-
gramme for the coronation day says
sThere is a growing conviction that the
king will sleep at the Deanery, West
minister, on the eve of the coronation, re-
turning thither for period OF rest after
the ceremony. The State procession
will traverse the original route for the
coronation, even though the king is alb
sent. No special device in the form Of
a portable couch has been prepared iol
the coronation coach. This lends ere
dence to story that the king will moi
drive on coronation day at all.

IT Is NOW published in some OF the
newspapers that the people of jamaica
are angered because the English govern
ment has not appropriated more money
for the sugar industry of that island this
wear and will seek annexation to the
United States. This is the silliest Of
nonsense and no well informed man in
this country believes for moment that
the .Jamaicans wish to sever their re-
lations with Great Britain, and have
their island become part of the United
States. A similar persistent report was
in circulation few years ago concerning
the annexation of Nova Scotia, when
many of the northern papers stated that
the Nova Scotians were eager to become
citizens of the United States. No sensi-
BILE man believed anything of the kind
and the rumor soon subsidized. 1t can be
stated that an Alexandrian who was in
Nova Scotia on business at the time, on
his return home stated that every native
he met was loyal TO Great Britain and
ridiculed the idea of annexation to the
United States.

BURGLARS PLAN DEFEATED

Cleveland, Ohio, July pa bur
glary in the regular dime novel style,
with all the access )ries, such as masks
and long revolver, took place at an early
hour this morning, at the office of the
Gund Brewing Company. Three men
broke into the cellar, bound and gagged
the secretary of the company and night
Waterman, who sleeps at the brewery,
rihed desks, boxes and drawers. and
made an Intellectual attempt to break
into the safe. A watchman's clock sys-
TEN connecting with the police was the
primary cause of the defeat of the bur
glars plans to blow the safe, which is
said to have contained $4,000. When
the Waterman failed to send in his regu-
lar call on time the police arrived The

FARMER NIURDERED.

William II. WOolson, wealthy
farmer and ex-ConIederate soldier, re-
ceived a shotgun wound at noon yester-
dav while walking from HerndOn to his
home near Sterling, and received in
iuries from which he died short time
later. Ii is believed that his murderer
is Charles Craven, colorel ex-conyict5
who was sent to Jail for term of years
By jury of which Woolson was fore
man. Revenge is supposed to have
prompted the act. The murder was an
atrocious one. Posses of angry men are
searching the surrounding country. The
authorities fear thai if Craven is found
he will be lynched and no questions
asked. Wools0n had been in Herndon
during the forenoon and started home on
foot. The road to Sterling winds through
the woods. His body was found on n
lonely stretch of road about three miles
from the town. He was still living,
and it was evident from his condition
that he bad been shot hardly
half an hour before. The wound
was in the thigh and was bleeding
badly when the discovery of the body
was made. Death ensued before
medical attendance could be secured.
Four years ago Craven was sent to the
penitentiary. He was released few
months ago and Immediately went to
Fairfax county, and has since been
haunting the woods. He has made no
effort to secure employment, but has
been seen many times skulking in the
woods. Last Saturday he held up lit
tie boy near Leesburg and took from
him some change the youngster had for
groceries. A warrant was issued for his
arrest and Craven has since been a fugi-
tive from Justice. II has been learned
that Craven was in the vicinity of the
scene of the murder Yesterday forenoon,
As he called at a farm hause to beg food.
The belief is that this was after the muir
der lad been committed, and that he was
after sufficient food to enable him to go
into hiding. The impression is that
Craven harbored resentment on account
of the court, sheriff, jury and Others
taking part in his arrest and conviction
four wears ago, and that he came back
to the neighborhood with the definite
idea in mind of killing one or more con-
nected with his trial. Every road lead
ing from that part of the county is being
guarded. If Craven is captured there
i no doubt he will be haGged to the
most convenient tree without the for
mality Of trial.

DROWNED.

Worchester, Mass, July .29.-Fred
f. Benson aged %, and his brothers
Carl aged %, and Gustaf, A. aged Is
were drowned in Lake Quinsigamond
last night. The three brothers left
home yesterday with the intention of
going swimming. When they did not
return by bed time the family became
alarmed and search was instituted.
Their clothing was found on the
bank of the lake and several hours
later the bodies were picked up
A dramatic incident attended the find
ing of the body of Fred. The young
lady whom he was to marry, on next
Sunday, was among the searchers, and
when the body of her sweetheart was
tlkon from the water, she seemed to lose
her head. She plunged into the lake
and fought her rescuers, who with great
diff Guilty brought her to the shore.

A TRUE picture and an apt illustra-
ton of the workings of the present high
tariff laws, and how they can be used IN
the interests of the trusts, Is given by
the Philadelphia Record as follows:
"Tinplate workers have been voting re-
Gently on proposition to take 20 per
cent less wages on contracts for Stand
ard Oil tinplate, all other work to be at
regular wages. By reason Of the draw
back of duties the company can make
its tin cans from cheaper imported TIL
olate and it is to capture this trade that
the workers are asked to forego one
fourth of their wages. Their acceptance
would be, moreover, an object lesson
DESIGNED to enforce the prOtectionlst
theory that the tariff raises wages at
least 25 per cent. But American TIM
plate is sold now in foreign countries
at a discount of more than % per cent
from home prices, and if the manuiac-
turers should so desire they conld meet
foreign prices here without compelling
their workmen to accept heavy cut III
wages
