WHAT is PAIN BALM?

Chamberlain's Pain Balm is a lini-
ment, and while adapted to al the or
binary uses OF liniment, las qualities

dies of this class. Pain Balm is espe-
cialIy beneficial for rheumatism. Thou

az ELKIN AID LIE MISSIONARIES

In a communication from W. b. Il
kin, chaplain OF the Kamehamehs
Schools. published in the Advertiser o.
the 9Th. in reply to an article by ". y
Armstrong commenting upon the ad-
ministering OF the Bishop Estate. Mr.
EIkin dragged in by the heels. the fol-
lowing statement, viz:
II have gradually been driven, and
that against my will-to these conciu-
sions:
THE HAWAIIAN LAWS WE'RE
MADE AND ADMINISTERED BY
THE MISSIONARIES AND THEIR
DESCENDANTS FOR THE ADvAN-
TAGE OF THEMSELVES RATHER
THAN FOR THE GOOD OF THE MA
TIvEs."
The Advertiser has taken no part in
the discussion concerning the Kane
har1eha Schools, other than to allow
the use Of its columns for the purpose,
and is taking none now. The charge Of
selfshness and greed on the part Of
the early missionaries has been made
so frequently by irresponsible and
superficial observers that 1t is waste
of energy 10 reply thereto: but when
man occupying the responsible position
that Mr.. EIkin does. after deliberate
study, makes the charge over his own
signature. he should be prepared to
justify his charge with specifications
and proofs.
In the Advertiser of the 7th instant,
editorial reply was made to some of
Mr.. Elkin's statements. to which he in
turn replies. complaining that there is
no effort to refute his reasoning.
There is no reasoning on Mr.. Elkin's
part on the point under discussion.
There Is a bald. unqualified statement
OF fact, viz: that The Hawaiian laws
were made and administered by the
missionaries and their descendants for
the advantage of themselves rather
than for the good Of the natives" This
Is not a matter of opinion, nor Of in
ference, or logic. or reasoning 1t is
a broad assertion OF fact, capable Of
proof If correct. II Mr. Elkin has been
forced to this conclusion
and ne says he has--it must have been
through consideration and study Of
specific laws and individual acts. II so, |
IL Is not just nor honorable for him to
conceal these specific instances upon |
which he bases his charge. but he
should state them, in order that others
may Judge for themselves what foun-
daffon there is for his conclusions.
1t is up to" Mr.. EIkin to formulate
of his charges Of greed
and misconduct on the part of the mis-
sIonaries. and present the proofs there
Of.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-Lieuten-

the training-ship Pensacola, at Mare
Island. has called the attention of the
Navy Department TO the scheme of the
Togo Kisen Kaisha. the Japanese
steamship company. to establish a sig
nal station and signal operators at
Midway island as soon as cable COM
munication is established there.
Because of the strategic Importance
that wiz come TO Midway island with
the establishment of cable station
there. Commander Pond suggests that
the department investigate the scheme
of the japanese company with view
to making the establishment and main
tenance of lighthouse and signal sta
ton on the island one of the conditions
of the landing there by the Pacific
Commercial Gable Company. In this
way American control of the station

that point would enable vessels plying
between San Francisco and the Orient
to be distinguished and signaled from
the island and reported thence by ca
BILE. As the islands lie only about fifty
miles from the regular course of steam
ers between San Francisco and Yoko-
hama, little deviation would be neces-
sary for this plan to be followed. Com
mander Pond suggests that a light be
established on the highest point of
Sand island, with range of visibility
of at least twenty miles.
Acting Secretary Darling has the
matter under consideration. 1t is point
ed out, however, that the light used at
would serve the steamship
companies and not the cable.

The Orphans, Collection

Sunday next, Oct. 4, is the date set
aside for the annual collection for the
benefit of the orphans of the state. In
Denver alone there are 300 of the home
less little children left to the charity of
the Catholic church. Bishop Matz has
made an eloquent appeal for them in
his circular letter. which was read
from every pulpit in the diocese ON
Sunday last. The collection will be
taken up in every church and a large
percentage will go toward the orphans
1und. In Denver there are two larger
orphanages dependent upon the church

C-ara's. To st. Vincents especially is
the pecuniary aid of the people an alb

told severely on the treasury of that in

same condition exists and every one is
therefore asked to contribute as lih-

One of the saddest and most solemn
gatherings that has ever assembled
within the sacred precincts of the

week, when the funeral services over
the remains of Dennis J. Davidson
were conducted Mr.. Davidson was one
of those characters who become famil-

that are constantly rejecting a warm
heart sheltered beneath a splendid
physique. He was bailiff in the Grim

was at his post as usual. apparently in
the best of health The same afternoon
he was removed to the Emergency hos

entertained for his recovery, but he

During the course of the entire affair
the integrity of Father Callahan has

thing. For eight long years he has
demonstrated his nobility of character,

Sy. smoky den where one sits under
protest and waits for his train that IS

different.
The building in the main is 3Ox1OO
feet, hence the size does not denote its
greatness. The design. gables, beau
tiful panel work. walks and general
ornamental work are what make it
elegant. The brick came from Omaha
and an inspector examined every brick
that went into the building to see that
they were of like size, coloring, etc. The
tile roofing came from Omaha and st.
Louis and is of peculiar ornamental
design, made especially for this build
ing.
The cost of the depot was $4,000.
which is a partial expenditure of the
100000 set apart by the company for
improvements here
