Program for Two Days’ Jubilee at the Orpheum Will Be Interesting— Many Musical Numbers on Bills— Memorial Services on Punchbowl. ‘The warmth and feeling manifested by friends and brethren of the Mor mon church in these Islands yesterday extend to George Q Cannon, president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Lat ter Day Saints, who sat surrounded by scores of those who remembered his first visit to the Hawaiian Islands many sare ase, cannot be adequately expressed in words. The reception to the distinguished dignitary of the Mormon church held yesterday morn ing at the vestry of the Mormon church on Punchbowl street was a delightfully Informal affair, and from a standpoint of numbers present was a gensine success. The hareh had undergone a com plete change at the hands of the in dice of the society, who by deft fin gers had caused the portion of the wilding in which the reception was held to resemble a beautiful bower of flowers, the effect of which was qoigatened by a pretty display of both American and Hawaiian flags. With President Cannon were seated his wife and three sons. Also numbered among the visitors from “Zion” were WW. Clout, President of the Summit (Utah) Stake of Zion; Mra. H. 4) Clawson, the wife of one of Salt Lake's most prominent Mormon Jead era, and her son Lent. Th advancing years have treated President Cannon very kindly. He yet remains keen of ere, and quick of Taoterment and perception, despite the seventy and four years of his event ful and aeeful life. He has looked forward to this visit to the Islands for a lone time with feelings of much pleasure. When seen this morning, the cheery old gentleman expressed himself as delighted with his trip to Honolulu. “It has been a great pleas ure to me to meet the saints of the Hawaiian church, and among them many who were the first converts of the church, and those who were bap tized upon my first visit.” remarked the venerable church leader, Mr. Cannon talked entertainingly of church and political affairs in Utah. He stated that the mightest resem vance of a bond between church and stat had become completely severed, Mormon and Gentile voted according to their respective political faiths, and the president smilingly noted that the Republican victory was what might be termed a complete landslide this fall. He contrasted the great change of sentiment to be found throughout “Zion” this year to what it was four years ago, when all portions of Utah were rampant for suver. The heavy Republican vote for McKinley this year was a combined expression of both Mormon and Gentile factions. Mr. Cannon expressed himself as highly pleased at the progress of Mor mon church work in these Islands, in fact he believes that the church has good cause to felicitate Itself because of the material prosperity that has been enjoyed In past years. During his stay in this city Presi dent Cannon will be the guest of Mr. Abraham Fernandez, at Kaliht.
