R1STS Stocl nd AFTER TEN DAYS Canse of tie Delay of tM. S. T. Newport. -v- BOILER INSPECTORS TO BLAME Test Plugs Not Adoptei-Two Sto;s Sea-Passengers -Marines-Nurses. i The burning out of the fusible plugs in the boilers of the United States army transport Newport was the cause of that belated vessel iong trip from San Francisco. She -arrived yesterday shortly before noon in good shape afte her ten-dav trin with no esDecial in cident saving the accident as above Having no cargo below anl the 500 and odd, soldiers filling up between decks caused a rolling of the vessel, ex posing and melting the plugs, which are placed in the boilers by theUnited States inspectors. It was necessary to slow down ttwice after leaving San Francisco, cn tho third day out about seventeen hours, and on the fourth day nearly as long a time. After this tho Newport came along 'at fair speed. The delay does not reflect on the engineer's department, as ithe style of the boilers does not permit - any change being made such as would prevent a similar accident under like conditions. Chief Engineer Dixon is complimented by all on the successful and speedy repairs while at sea.

Few, not familiar with the work of ihe Hawaiian Board, realize the amount of Christian evangelical work that is being done among the Ilawaiians and laboring classes on our plantations on all the Islands. ! There is a well established mission among the Chinese under the efficient direction df Mr. Frank W. Damon. Another mission doing work among our Portuguese population in Honolulu, Hilo and at other points, under the leadership of Rev. A. V. Soares, Rev. R. K. Baptiste and Mr. Ernest Silva. Workers among the Japanese are found on all the Islands who are wisely directed in their work by Rev. O. H. Gulick who has had large experience in missionary work in Japan. The value of the evangelical work done by the Hawaiian .uoara is ac knowledged by plantation managers and others who have the management of laborers throughout the Islands. The financial year of the Board will close May 15th and any donations for the general fund -will be welcome to the Treasurer. ToningM's Hand Concert.

A. Gardner Stronrxly Endorses Crematioif. WAS ONCE OPPOSED TO IT The Rule of Sentiment-Conduct of "ncrals-Experience-Twenty-Five Years. Fu- At the Christian church last evening faced his sermon with a brief address on cremation, substantially as follows: "The majority of the race is con trolled by habit, fashion or sentiment. We boast of our "God given reason," yet few are led by it; Like -the Chi nese, who for generations have worn the queue, we go on doing many things that our fathers did, with no more rea son for them than the Chinaman has for wearing the appendage to his head: yet like the Mongolian, we cling as tenaciously to them as though they were necessary to our life. "I am thoroughly convinced the prop er way to dispose of our dead is by ' incineration but a laree number of in- telligent people are opposed to it. The years "When it was first proposed to es tablish 'crematories in the United States I condemned it -bee uiso I bel eved In ic: - aerai icivlo Mt firrrible if not .un christian. Tb mc, to -many others who have not caref;;.Uy considered the subject, the thing, seemed -hide-0113 ianrf terrible. . v "Some years ago I superintended the removal of the bodies cf some of my ! friends from a family'to a city cemete- ry. I had previously tnougnt, m an in different way, of the slow decay of the body and its consumption by worms but when I saw the condition of those remains, which had been in the ground from six to thirty years, the horrors of cremation seemed very insignificant compared to that of a casket filled with thousands of loathsome worms feeding upon the decaying flesh. "If the disposition of our dead is a matter of sentiment, then a careful consideration of the facts w'll certainly ; make that sentiment favorable to in cineration. "If we consider the repufsiveness of the two w-ays of disposing of the dead, there is much the same difference as between the different ways of disposing of criminals condemned to death. In past ages capital punishment was ad ministered by crucifixion, burning at the stake, etc. The modern idea is to extinguish the life as quickly as pos sible and in a way to cause as little pain as may be. Why should not the same principle be applied to the body? Let it be placed in the carefully and scientifically prepared chamber of the crematory where the dissolution occurs and "ashes to ashes" takes place with out the assistance of microbes and worms through years of poisonous put refaction. "During an experience of more than twenty-five years in conducting fun erals, I have noticed that the most heartrending scene in connection wnth those sad occasions is when the body is lowered into ths grave and the work men, cften cf the most uncouth and I uncanny appearance, cast in thp arfh as they -would bury the body of a dead dog. i he disagreeablenes3' of these burial3 is often augmented by the swel- 1 3&BSQLVIEtX Makes the food more delicious and wholesome ROvAl BAKING POWDEB CO., HEW YORK. tering of a tropical sun, a storm of rala or snow, or a freezing blizzard. "During the time I was a pastor Int San Francisco I conducted several fun erals in the Odd Fellow's Crematory The distressing circumstances neces sarily surrounding the ordinary, burial have no place there. The congregation is seated in a comfortable and com modious chapel which is furnished wltlt organ and organist. The friends of the departed are seated around an opening in the floor that is surrounded by a railing and covered with tfrapery. That casket is taken into the basement, plac ed upon an elevator and noiselessly lifted into the open pace in Uio cha pel. All the services may be conducted there if desirable, but if the sermoix has been delivered at the house or in the church, only the committal ser vices are engaged in. Before the ser vices begin, the casket is uncovered and! at the conclusion, with its decorations of floral tributes,' it is covered, lowered into the basement and th congregation dismissed. A small room is provided near the furnace, where the. special friends may assemble and witness th; deposit of the casket In the beatci chamber. - . "The imminent danger to the health of a "community in which there is a cemetery is reason enough for our seek ing for some more sanitary.t vay Ira which to dispose of our deadly There can be no doubt that thousands die -.nnual.y from the exhalation of noxious gases and the poisoning of water sup plies, from the cemeteries." ' : : In conclusion- Mr. Gardner said: "God has no use far this body.of.nilne In a few .years' more AV. A.

During tho past week the young Jadies of the Oahu college and the Pu hahou preparatory school have been engaged in a tennis tournament on the fine court at the college. It .was a handicap affair, with a racket as a prize. Miss Louise Gulick, but lately from Osaki, Japan, had the ' greatest number of sets to her credit on Satur day and took the trophy. This week there will be a tournament for the boys, of the college and preparatory. In a Street Crowd. During the progress of Du Bell's tight wire act Saturday evening a hack driver attempted to drive (through the crowd which had . gathered on Ihe street. The people were so closely packed that a street car had stopped in the midst, finding it impossible to get through. The' hackman, however, thought that for his benefit a thorough fare should be made. Despite remon-' st rations he forced the horse against the crowd. The affair wa ended by a policeman taking the driver out and escorting him to the police station. Luckily no one was hurt. AT KERR'S.
