TO EVANGELIzE
THE ISLANDS
PLAN TO BRING A SUCCESSFUL
EVANGELIST TO HAWAII ADOPT
ED BY MINISTERIAL UNION.

A campaign OF evangeIization for the
entire froup was decided on at the
meeting of the ministerial union this
morning at the meeting held at Central
Union church this morning. The plan
adopted was one prepared by a COM
mlttee appointed some time ago.
This committee after setting forth
the religious conditions existing In the
islands proposes that an evangelist Of
recognized character ability and sue
cess shall be secured from the mainland
to come here, and with the cooperation
of all the evangelical churches begin a
serious evangelical campaign beginning
at Honolulu and extending all over the
territory.
As to the difficulty of language, it is
hoped to overcome that to some extent
by the aid of interpreters, and by
arousing enthusiasm among the reli
gious workers in the several languages.
A committee consisting of Rev G. l..
Pearson, Rev. f. s. Muckley Rev. Will
liam Morris Kincaid, Rev. John Lead
ingham and Rev. w. d. Westervelt.

.IROQUOIS GETS
BACK FROM MIDWAY
REPORTS THAT EVERYTHING
WAS PROGRESSING FAvORABLY
WITH CABLE WORK.

With details of the landing of the
cable at Midway, the U. $. $. Iroquois,
Captain Rodman, arrived early yes
terday morning from her special trip
to the westward. The vessel was away
since May 2S. Every thing was pro-
crossing favorably at Midway up to
June %, the date that the Iroquois sail
ed for Honolulu.
The Iroquois arrived at Midway June
8. The steamer Hanalei reached Mid
way June IL and two days later the S.
S. Coptic arrived from Honolulu. The
cable ship Anglia made her appearance
June 16 with the shore ends of the
cable. On June Is, the Colonia arrived
from completing the longest section of
the cable system. The Colombo buoy
ed her end about two miles from Mid
way.
Great difficulty was experienced in
landing the shI.e end of the cable.
The cable was transferred from the An
glia onto pOntoon and floated in shore
through Welles Harbor to as close to
San Island as was possible. The cable
was then unbent and run ashore. This
part of the work was the difficult fea-
ture- Captain ROdman loaned every
man from his vessel, q in all to help
draw the cable ashore. About so men
from the Anglia were also at work
with this landing. The work was not
completed until late at night This
was on June 10.
On the following day the shore end
for the Honolulu section was landed.
This was accomplished much easier, as
it was paid out from the pontoon out
in the deeper water. The Guam end
was spliced on June q and on June 26,
shas subsequently been learned, the
Anglia completed the Honolulu con-
nection and started this way. She was
expected to pay out at the rate of about
200 knots a day. She is expected July
3.
The cable between Guam and Mid
way was laid with only minor hitch.
About $500 fathoms was the greatest
depth in which the cable had to be
laid. The Nero Deep was avoided.
The night before the Colonia reached
Midway a flaw was discovered in the
cable. The cable had to be taken
aboard the vessel again and be repair
ed a delay of to hours resulting.
Captain Pond remained at Midway
and will return on the Anglia to Homo
lulu. Mr.. Pinkerton of the electric
staff of the telegraph of the Telegraph
Construction and Maintenance COM
pany and operators Moore and Butler
were left at Midway by the company
for the purpose of waiting 80 days, un-
til after the cable will have been for
mally accepted by the Commercial Pa
cific Gable company.
The Iroquois left Midway June % and
stopped at Lisiansky and Laysan ISL
ands coming home.

PERFUME AND BALKANS.

The trouble in the Balkans is having
one curious effect; it is sending up the
price of the delicate perfume known
as the altar of roses. The scent s
now being retailed at $40 an ounce, and
it is anticipated that in months time
that quantity will not be purchasable
in London under SIS. The making of
altar of roses is one of the staple in
dustries of the pricipality of Bulgaria.
The principal gardens are at Kezanlik,
and extend for 40 miles in the valley of
the Martha, These wonderful and
priceless gardens have more than once
been the scene of bloodshed. There
the worst of the Turkish atrocities were
committed which in 1876 led to the
abrogation of the Anglo-Turkish alli-
ance. Now Bulgarians at KezanlIK
are once more deserving their peaceful
and poetical occupation of perfume
making in order to shoulder the rifle,
with the result that altar of roses is
growing scarce in Belgravia. Under
normal conditions the rose extract is
almost as precious as liquid gold. In
the making of one ounce IL hundred
weight roses are uNd. Bulgaria ex-
ports 2h tons of altar of roses annual
ly, representing a consumption of 5000
tons of the flower.
tons of the flower.

Count Leo TOlstoi rscently told an in

had occurred during his last stay in the
Crimea, A rich American arrived in
his yacht accompanied by a party of
friends, and asked permission to see
the great Russian, promising that they
would be content with a glimpse. and
would not trouble him with talk. Leave
was granted. Tolstoi sat upon his bal
cony like Buddhist idol" as he said,
and the whole party of Americans de-
filed slowly and silently before him,
taking their gaze as they passed. One
woman, however, refused to be bound
by the contract. She stood still for a
minute, and shouted, LEO Tolstoi! Leo
Tolstoi! all your noble writings have
had a profound influence upon my life,

Fire in the hoods

When kindling campfire in the
woods at this time of year, be sure to
cut away all the dried grass and brush
in big circle around it before ap-
plying the match. If the fire happens
to spread, run ahead of it and cut away
the brush before the flame reaches it.
Before leaving a fire, throw water on
it until it is flooded. If no water is
near, stamp it out and then cover it
thickly with the freshest and dampest
earth that can be found.
