I have not been told whether most of the presidents of the United States 'have opened their cabinet meetings in that Way, but it certainly, is a good way. - At 8 o'clockthat afternoon the Congre- gational churph was packed to overfiow- ing with a xxipltitkide, about one half na- tive Hawaiians and the other half people of many lands. it was amazing to me that with such a short notice of a few hours such n thrOing could be gathered. But the Honislulu papers have been pub- lishing my sermons for years, and it was really a gathering of old friends. An in- terpreter stood beside me in the pulpit, and with marvelous ease translated what I said Into the Hawaiian language. It was suoh a scene as I never before witnessed, and I shall never see it repeated. After shaking hands with thousands of people I went out in the most delicious atmosphere and sat down under the palm trees. What a bewitchment of scenery! What hearti- ness of hospitality! The Hawaiians have no superiors for geniality and kindness In all the world. In physical presence they are wondrous specimens of good health and stalwartness. One Hawaiian could wrestle down two of our nation.

'NOTES FROM THE QUEEN CITY. TORONTO, July 30th, 1894. Together with 6,000 delegates to the Bap- tist Young People's Convention, 4,000 excur- sionists availed themselves of the cheap rates to see " Canady." The .Convention , was a great success; every meeting was crowded and as the collections amounted to $10,000,•the delegates must have been en- thusiastic. The ceremony of saluting the flags of the different States, on Friday, was a pretty one although the. Canadian Bap- tists were -a little shocked at the various "calls," which seemed more like " yells ". of college students than of religious bodies. Dr. Chapman, of Chicago, was re-elected presi- dent, and it was decided to hold the next Conventioa in Baltimore. The Baptiet pul- pits of the city were filled by visitors on Sunday. On Monday morning the exodus began. The Cibola took away a great num- ber, and as she left the dock a delegate arose in the bow and, waving the •Stars and Stripes and the Union Jack overhead, sang "God Save the Queen," in which the pass- engers all joined. It seems that even the effect of our sepulchral silence on Sunday could not out -weigh the visitor's verdict that we are a hospitable people. THE OBSTREPEROUS KELLY. Citizen Kelly was fined $25 for driving his busses last Sunday week without a li- cense; Mayor Kennedy's hack -driver -escap- ed. There was more fun last Sunday, f9r Kelly put his family in a 'bus and, mounting the box, drove from his home westward in- tending to attend St. -Helen's Church, Brockton. He was stopped by many police- men but,when they saw that Kelly only drove his family they let him proceed. But at Yonge , Street, Inspector Archahold ar- rested Kelly, family and rig, taking them to headquarters, where after a short delay In- spector Stephens persuaded Archabold he had made a mistake, and -Kelly was allowed to go amid the cheers of 500 citizens who had. gathered.. Kelly entered suit against Archaloold for damages, on the ground of assault andenaliciods detention, through his lawyer, ex -City -Solicitor Biggar. It is be- lieved that Kelly is getting legal advice at every Step he takes and that Very shortly he will have the police authorities jest where he wants them; to inaugurate legally a Sun- day 'bus system. Then for Sunday cars! A RICH MAN'S WILL, The late George W. Kiely's will contains bequests to charitable institutions amount- ing to $17,000. The widow receives a $10,- 000 annuity during her life -time,• together with the,Jarvis Street establishment. The total estate amounts to nearly $1,000,000. The day before Mr. Kiely's death he bought 200,shares of stock in the new Toronto Railway Company. THE POOL ROOM MAN AT IT, AGAIN. Mr. Gillis, just released from -his 60 -days sojourn at the jail, on Saturday last went out -to Port Credit, over the Peel county border, and opened a big tent pool -room. The sports frem town arrived at 3 o'clock.; Betting was very slow, but the arap-game in front of the tent flourished. The people of the little hamlet like the invasion and are raking in many extra dollars. Gillis paid $1,200 for the lot he occupies and is aonfident of winning his case even if Peel County prosecutes, as County -Crown -Attor- ney McFadden says it will during the week. The Attorney -General states that if the county neglects its duty, the Provincial Government will step in, as after the • con- victions in Toronto, Gillis's ground is very very slippery. 'Gillis at first re-opendd his Bay -street room in town With telephonic communications to catch the bets of those unwilling to go out to "the Creclit,i' but the police's action forced hire to close it up. GOOD CROPS. Advices received from 95 representative members of the Dominion Millers' Associa- tion in Ontario, go to show that the fall wheat mop now being . harvested, and the spring wheat crop will be heavier than the average, although the area planted is con- siderably less, showing that wheat growing is being rapidly dropped for better paying farm products. The area of spring wheat is from 5 to 75 per cent., and of winter wheat from 20 to 100 per cent. less than formerly. DULL BUSINESS. Toronto hotel men are complaining that this has been the poorest season in many years, the number of touring Americans be- ing very small. Some of the big hotels have been running at a loss since spring. But a remarkable thing is the large business being done by the local steamboat lines. The present season was never approached for ac- tivity and most of the passengers are Can- adians. In spite of the hard times they are spending their money with both hands. DEATH OF A RESPECTED MAN. Major Frank C. Draper died at his resi- dence, No. 100 St. Patrick , Street, on Wed- nesday. He was the youngest son of the late Hon. William Henry Draper, C. B., president of the Court of Appeals of On- tario. The deceased chose law as -a profes- sion and studied in the office of the late Hon. John Crawford,afteryvards Lieu tenant - Governor of Ontario, but eventually he gave up practice. While still major in the Queen's Own Rifles, he took office under Captain Prince, then chief of Police, suc- ceeding to that position himself, in 1874,and holding it for 13 years. Major Draper was a strict disciplinarian and brought our local police force to that high position it now occupies. TO DEEPEN THE CANALS. The Canal Convention, which, according to Alderman Thompson, will attract to To- and abomination. The Annexation Q But the missionaries ca years 12,000 people gathered into the churches and 26,000 children into schools proposing Christian civilization, which now holds a beautiful supremacy over the Sandwich Islands. There are two great parties in the Hawaiian Islands—royalists, who want the queen, and annexittionists, who want to come under our eagle's wing. Neither of them will triumph. The final result will be a republic by itself, of which the present government is an ante - past. The Hawaiian -nation is strong enough to stand alone.

Those who can translate the language of the rocks and the language of huinan bones say that these islands have been inhabited 1,400 years at least. When found in 1778, they were old places of Jatiman habitation. The Lost unique illustration in all the world I:1 a what pure and simpl Christianity can do is here.

'Sect tary Wills, of the Board of Trade, is being importuned by prbminent Austra- lians th agitate for an eahibit of Canadian prod:uets at the Australian Exhibition. The propotal will have the support of our Board of Trade, because of the great good likely to accrue to Canada at the present juncture, when both colonies are wide-awake as to trade extension. RE -UNITE THE OFFICES. The Provincial Secretary promises that the Government will duly consider the City Council's petition asking that the Toronto registry offices be reunited. Peter Ryan was understood to have resigned one of these registrarships, and the Ontario Gov- ernment had arranged for a string of pro- motions as soon as Peter went back to the auctioneer's hammer.
