SAMOAN NATIVES
ARE CHRISTIANS

The most interesting thing about
Samoa is not its fair scenery and
tropic flora, but it's people, who have
often been described as the most noble
race in the Pacifc-simple, honest. af-
fectionate, and. above all, hospitable.
Judge Dwyer of Page Page, VINO is
visiting Sydney, stated recently that
all the natives were now Christians,
and evinced very marked devotion
to their church. even though they did
hot always adhere tc its tenets. Tax.
ing them as a whole, their contribu-
lions to religious enterprises far ex-
=o6eded the Biblical 1.-THE, and, with the
exception of the Mormons, whose adj
herents were few. the s:lissions in Sa-
moa were self-supporting. The people
were generous TO remarkable degree,
and any stranger-white, brown, yell
low or black-was received with open
arms in any house, supplied with food
and sleeping accommodation, no ques-
tons being asked about compensation
AS far as American Samoa was con-
cerned, there were so few foreigners
there that this admirable trait had not
been stamped out by imposition or
abuse of confidence. In morality they
were superior to many other branches
of the Polynesian race and were eX-
celled by none. Petty theft was very
rare, and foreigners found that the
locks and bolts on their houses grew
rusty through disuse. Sydney Herald

The host at this, probably the most

H. c. & S. co. IS
GOING To CUT
Dividend

II was stated on good authority this
morning that the dividends on Ha
waiian Commercial will be reduced
from % cents TO Is cents, to take eff
feet July l. An official OF the com
pany stated this morning that cable
vas expected from San Francisco TO
days or tomorrow giving notice that
the directors had ordered such a re
duction in dividends to be made.
II is understood that the reduction
has been contemplated for some time
Other companies in the last few days
have preceded it in cutting down divi
bends. the last one CT which was the
Hawaiian Sugar Company, which cut
from 80 cents share to 20 cents, eff
fective beginning July Is. The keka
ha dividends have been reduced from
/ per cent to y Of ! per cent.
Representatives Of the company did
not wish to discuss the reduction OF
Hawaiian Commercial dividends but
prefer to await the official notice OF
the change.
Hawaiian Commercial has been pay.
ing handsomely in dividends annually
but the forthcoming cut has been ex.
pected for some time and the market
price of the stock has been discounted
in advance of the actual reduction. II
is not believed, therefore, that there
will be any particular depressing effect
on business as a result of the Hawaii
an Commercial announcement.
Besides the regular dividends, Ha-
waiian Commercial has been paying
fat extras, but these have been dis
counted for many months.
The big company is not only affect
ed by the market price of sugar and
the tariff situation, but by prospects OF
a small crop this year, some estimates
placing it as low as 10000 or $4,000
tons
