CHURCH PEOPLE
AND SUNDAY LAW
Continued from page ID

4 p. m. yesterday in the rooms of the
Board of Hawaiian Missions, there is
every appearance of a fight coming
against the Quinn Sunday bill. At
the eleventh hour the Evangelical As
ISOLATION, composed of the ministers
and leading men of all the churches
in and about Honolulu, has come out
and thrown down the gauntlet. You
have stirred us up said Theodore
Richards to the Advertiser.
The House has passed the Quinn bill
and the Senate has passed the McCand-
less bill. The Senate, however, has
moved to reconsider its vote.
The Evangelical Associa ton yester-
day decided to hold two mass meetings
on Sunday night-tomorrow- in
Central Union Church and the other in
Kawaiahao Church.
At both these meetings the associa-
ton expects to have men on the plat
form to voice the sentiments of those
who oppose the so-called "wide-open''
Sunday law.
The matter was brought up for dis
cussion by statement made that per-
sons outside the association had sug-
gested the mass meetings The board
decided to assist all citizens who wish
ed to protest against a "wide-open"
Sunday law, which the association
seems to believe is proposed.
The meetings will commence at 7:30
o'clock and communicates of all
churches are invited to attend. The
meeting at Kawaiahao will be presided
over by Rev. H. H. Parker, and it is
expected that the Rev. ]. w. Wadman,
pastor of the Methodist Church; Rev
S. L. Desha of Hilo and Rev. w. n.
Lono will be the speakers.
The association is in hopes that they
may induce Governor Carter to pre-
side at the Central Union meeting. Hon.

Imports from Exports to

The exports from the United States
to Cuba in the calendar year 1904 ex
ceeded those of any earlier year in the
history of our trade with that island
the highest total in any preceding year
having been that of 1901, S27,007, 024,
against s32, 644.345 in 1904, an increase
in 1904 of 20S per cent over the previous
high record year, 1901. The imports
from Cuba in 1904 were less in value
than those of the calendar years 1894
and 1892 and of the fiscal years 1874 and
1873 Summarizing in single sentence
the figures of our export trade to Cuba
in 1904, it may be said that it is larger
than In any preceding year, and that
the increase over 1908 was 3S.9 per cent.
while the increase in imports from Cuba
in the same year was 81 per cent.
Considering the Cuban figures of inn
ports and exports during the existence
of the reciprocity treaty and comparing
the same with those of the correspond
ing period of the preceding year, the
Bureau of Statistics publishes a table
received from official sources in Cuba
showing the imports and exports of
Cuba by principal countries during the
first six months of the calendar years
1903 and 1904. These figures, it is proper
to add, include gold and silver as well
as merchandise, while those of the
United States above discussed relate
to merchandise only. The table shows
that cuba's total importations from
the United States. including gold and
silver, in the first six months of 1905
were s15,416.5o3. against SIS. 6e6. 67s. in
the corresponding period of 1903. and

in the first half of 1904 were $50. 1O9 619

The Evangelical Association has en-
tered the lists against a new Sunday
law rather late in the day, but it prob
ably feels that it is better late than
never. Two mass meetings are to be
held and united effort of the evan

lance is placed on the Hawaiian mem
bers of the Legislature who. like their

The figures of Cuba's trade with 9th

in practically all cases a larger per

those countries than of imports from
the United States. From the United

imports IS 34.5 per cent; from Spain.

from countries other than the United
States 3O.3 per cent. and her imports
from the United States alone 12.6 per

United States supplied, according to
these figures, 40 per cent of the total
imports of Cuba and in the correspond

TRADE With CUBA.

Figures of the trade of the United
States with Cuba under the reciprocity
treaty are published by the Department
of Commerce and Labor through Its
Bureau of Statistics. These statements
include two sets of figures: - the re-
mort of the United States Government
showing the total value of its imports
from and exports TO each country OF the
world including Cuba, during the fuil
calendar year 1904, and 90 the report
Of the Cuban Government, showing its
imports from and exports to each coun-
try of the world during the first half
of the calendar year 1904. As the rec1-
procity treaty with Cuba began prac-
tically with the beginning of the year

the year or half year 1904, compared
with those of the corresponding period

silks, to which negliges have practically
been limited heretofore. The very thinnest
and softest quality must be chosen for one
of these robes, and if the velvet possesses a
sheen or bloom like that on a peach it is
all the more delicate and beautiful.
An exquisite pink chiffon velvet can be
made up after the suggestion given here.
The picturesqueness of the robe is largely
due to the fichu drapery, which is always
a becoming way to arrange the upper part
of a house gown and does away with deep
yokes and extra iounces.
A wide piece of the velvet is draped
tichu-like to cross to the left side and form
a chou a little above the fashionable waist
line. 1t may be mentioned here that nearly
all house gowns and tea gowns are given a
quaint air by reason of their short-waisted
effects
Filling in the deep "V' between the sides
of the velvet fichu is a narrow yoke made
of tucked pink mousseline and very narrow
lace handing. These alternating stripes

the colored effects. One worthy of par
tcular mention may be made of this
graceful material with several rows of
shirrings round the waist to give it some
thing of 4 princess appearance. The
shirrings reach to the bust, and above
the top row the crepe forms a puff meet
ing the lower edge of a handsome trans

yoke is a tiny ruching of light rose vel
vet. This color is repeated in the elab-
crate applique embroidery set on the
skirt. Not only is it oriental in design
and colorings, showing various richly
blended tones, well as a bit of silver
here and there, but close examination
showed it to be genuine handwork of the
fasteners. The trimming is put to
describe deep points, a method which en-
phasizes the orientalism, and the sleeves
give it still more of this much-valued air.
