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.

the rates of coasters have advanced to

a raise of 25 cents a ton. Another ad

THE PROPER WAY
Rev. W. 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.

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

Tennis at Puna how.
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.
