NTER.CRURCH ACHIEVEMENT

The series of religious services which the
InterC Church Federation is conducting in the
Bijou theater on Sunday evenings is attracting
reasons for this are obvious In the first place
the fact that five churches of four different de-
nominations are able to unite intellectually in
such movement is hopeful sign of the times
Sectaranism is declining and more and more
the churches are coming to see that in the great
essentials of the Christian faith they are one
and that by overlooking the DoD- essentials and
heartily uniting in promoting the fundamentals
Of true religion they will make greater progress
and exert a more far-reaching influence The
common people, both in and outside the church,
like.ths aspect of the movement.
Then, too, in this particular instance the
churches are peculiarly fortunate in securing
the services of so able preacher as the Rev
Frank l.. GOodspeed of Oakland. His addresses
are all of a high order and make a strong ap
peal to all thinking men and women. The large
attendance at these theater meetings is not only
a splendid testimonial to the ability and attract
iveness of the preacher but indicates the vide
spread interest in religious questions.
Without employing any sensational methods
either in announcing the meetings or in conduct
ing the service the er-Church Federation has
succeeded in bringing together Sunday evening
after Sunday evening-and that, too, in mid
summer-an audience of nearly a thousand PEG
pie, large part of whom are not regular at
PENDANTS at any of the churches.
1t is an achievement in which all who are
interested in the higher welfare of the cOmmu-
nifty may we'll rejoice.

MANUFACTURED TROPICAL
FRUIT PRODUCTS
(By Special Correspondent of Dun 5
International Review


What is one country's loss is an
other coUntry's gain" This is bejnG
proved in Jamaica, where a company
has been established for the making
ef by-products from the banana.
Some years ago all American visited
nemarara for the purpose Of cstab-
fishing a similar industry with a view
&c selling its products in the Ameri-
can market, but SO visionary was his
project regarded that nothing was
done and it has remained for ia
naica to profit by a scheme that, ii
carried out in the South American
Colony, might have resulted very pro
fitably for the Demararans. The COM
pany in question has erected a, fac
tory at Montego Bay, on the north
side of the island and the terminus
Of the trans-ini ular railroad from
Kingston. Here it is purposed TO
manufacture banana figs and chips
and to push the, sale Of these. by-pro-
ducts in the United States, where the
banana is regarded with special
favor. In addition to exploiting the
banana for this particular purpose, it
is also intended to- take up the treat
ment of other Jamaicas fruits, and al
ready experiments are being made
With this object in view. The island,
and indeed all the West Indies,
abound with great variety of fruits,
which grow practically wild in all
parts and which, with proper energy
behind the enterprise, could undoubt-
h. f1Ir RI I0I
count and made of distinct market
value in more countries than the
United States.
For preserves and jellies, such as
appeal to the American palate, there
is a large field in all the West Indian
islands and only judicious advertising
would be required to build up steady
and constant demand for them. Ba-
mana figs, such as will form one Of
the principal OUTPUTS of the Jamaica
factory, will, undoubtedly, if properly
presented o the public, secure a per
manent place on the tables of the
American people. Already have the
we'll known guava jelly and marina
ladies', produced in nearly all the isl
ands, obtained a recognized position
both in the States and in England,
while. thesJamaica pickles, sold mostly
TO tourists and visitors to the island,
have been received with favor wher
ever they. have been introduced. 1t
would, therefore. seem as though a
very profitable business could be built
up in fruit preserves and condiments
if the industry were taken up in a
serious manner and properly pre-
scented to the right public.

nifty, ladies and gentlemen interested in stamp

there was submitted to the board of supervisors

check the evil by the passage Of an ordinance
The form of ordinance was referred to the
police committee, where it has since been slum-
herring. At the last meeting of the supervisors,
an attempt to discover why the ordinance had
received no attention brought from the chair
man of the police committee the admission that
it is in the hands of the committee.

SAVAGE TRlBESMEN
IN ANGLO-EGYPTlAN
SOUDAN ARE ARMlN6

LONDON, Aug. 5.-It is reported
that a situation of considerable gray
itv has been brought about by the
enormous quantity of arms and am
munition which is being imported IN
TO the southeastern corner Of the An
gIo-Egyptian Sudan, close to the
western frontier of Abyssinla and the
northern border of the Uganda Pro-
tectorate.
The region in question is Inhabited
by savage tribes, and it is reported
that they have not only armed them
selves extensively but that they have
acquired considerable efficiency in the
use of their new weapons. How this
efficiency has been brought about, is
not clear; all that can be said is that
there is considerable evidence of ex-
pert training having been impaired to
them. Some idea of this was proVld-
ed by the recent operations OF the
Anglo-Egyptian force against the Anu
axis close to the Abyssinian frontier,
when it was found that the Anuaks'
fire was regular and their aim good.
Nor is it merely to these tribes that
the rifles and ammunition have found
their way, for evidence is not wanting
that they are being eagerly sought by
the natives in the north of Uganda
and the East Africa .protectorate.
The rifles in question are, it is re-
ported, practically all Gras rifles, and
though they bear the date 1876 there
is reason to believe that this is mark
and nothing more, for it is asserted
that those found lately have been
shipped brand new. They arrive by
way of Jibuti, in French Somaliland,
fact which is not without it's signifi-
canoe in view of the breakdown of the
International arms conference at
Brussels two years ago owing to the
inability of France to fall in with the
proposed arrangements for regulating
the African arms traffic.
The latter is understood to have in
creased largely as a result of the fall
ure of the conference, and it would
appear to be high time that steps were
taken to put an end to what is de-
scribed as a serious danger to Euro
pean civilization.

HARMONY-BUF NOT SECURITY

TN the face of the returns from last night s
Republican nominations for delegates to the ter
ritorial and county conventions there will be
few precincts whCGe factional fights will he car
ried into the primaries. Practically all of the
tights were eliminated before last night and in
many precincts but one ticket was put up.
.Harmony" of a rather unsatisfactory kind was
the Keynote.
The harmony is not entirely satisfactory be-
cause it is not entirely sincere Little opposi-
ton apparently is to he encountered by Delegate
Kuhio in the Republican territorial convention
and there seems no possibility that he will not
be renominated to lead the Republican ticket
this fall. The efforts of those delegates to the
convention who are not following Kuhio's lead
and the lead of his advisers-will be directed
toward eliminating from this convention the per
sonal element lin Kuhio's fight against Frear
If this can be eliminated, it viii be in accord
with the better sentiment of the islands. Ku
hio, urged by his close associates, has made two
political speeches in which there has been a,
marked recognition of this revolt throughout
Hawaii against the yitriolic attack on the gov
ernor, of which every good citizen has grown
tired. But Kuhios coworkers have not been
So careful, and the Hilo meeting witnessed the
outbreak of this misunderstanding spirit The
question is therefore whether Kuhios wise coun-
selors and his own good sense will prevail, or
whether hot-headed, ready -tongued appeals to
prejudice will prevail. The character of
the territorial convention will be determined by
the settlement of this question.
The delegates to both conventions make up
fine body of men, with a few exceptions, and
they can make the conventions notable by the
nomination of clean and progressive candidates
The county convention has a splendid opportu-
nifty to do this, and last nights nominations are
Indications that the county convention will be

harmony, but the fact that there are few contests

ONE WAY To REDUCE THE COST OF LIVING
IN HONOLULU e.

Senator Burton Of Ohio told the senate the
other day some of the reasons for the much-dis-
scussed "high cost of living that hits Honolulu
right on the spot.
The rapidly, increasing cost of government
national, state and muncipal-hc said, is add

Our Ok is in the Pit

There has been some complaint be-
cause the paving company now en-
gagged in paving certain of the streets
of this town have seen fit to work on
Sunday in order to get the work COM
pleted before winter sets in. The work
began some two months ago with the
grading of the streets to a level fixed
by the city engineer before the paving
material was put down. In order to
do this the streets were plowed up
and the earth so loosened that when the
rains of the past two weeks came on
the travel left them in frightful con-
dition-almost impossible. Unless
the paving is completed before the
SHOWS come they would grow still
worse, under this condition the bust
ness men and many property owners
have rather commended the paving
company and the men who are doing
the work for their willingness to work
overtime and Sundays in order to get
the work completed. The editor of
the Echo believes in cessation from
work one day in seven and thinks he
is joined in this belief by nearly every
one interested in the paving, but on
the other hand, taking into considera-
ton the condition of the streets at this
time and the condition they would be

Why The Women Should Vote

They should go to the polls to vote
because having been given the ballot
they are under obligation to make use
of it according to their best under
standing. They should vote because
they, as much as men, are vitality in
terested in good, clean, moral admins
tration of all the laws. Remember, if
you do not do your duty on election
day you have no moral right to COM
plain because we have bad administra-
ton officers.
Because they are afraid of being
laughed at some women hesitate to go
to the polls. You will be very much
laughed at if you do not vote, because
as we have heard said often, The
women were given the right to vote
but they did not have sense enough to
60 to the polls and vote for what they
wanted"
