The truth of the axiom, Love laughs
at lOcksmiths." was made once more
apparent by the escape of seventeen
year-old young lady from parental re-
straint and her marriage yesterday to
Ephraim Collins, gay young nlasher,
who has courted her asSiduOuSly Tor SIX
months past. The name of the Young
lady referred to was, up to yesterday
morning. Carrie Oleson. and she is the
daughter of Norwegian parents who re-
side on West Seventh street, near Staill-
mann's brewery. She at present an
swerS 10 the name of Collins, Mrs. Col
Inns. and wants her mail addressed that
way. Young Collins is twentyy airs Old
and was employed during part of the
summer by the street railway company,
during which time he managed to save
little money and keep up very hot
cOurtship with the charming Carrie
Some three weeks since Collins was
discharged from the service OF the com
panv, and at once laiI the reserve fund
he had on hand. as we'll as bis heart, at
the feet of his inamoTa;a. Papa OlesOn

many. but Mrs. Oleson began TO suspect
that she might lose her daughter if she
didn't look out. so she locked the girl
in her room with instructions not to
leave it until given permission. Nnen
the door was opened yesterday morning
the bird had flown, leaving no sign as 10

last evening the young couple turned
up with a certificate of marriage. and

route for New YORK. city Mr.. Bennett
Is the lessee of the new and magnificent
Tacoma hotel, and is looking about
among hotel talent for capable man
ager for the big concern. Mr. and Mrs:
Bennett are bound for New York and
will remain there several weeks. In
reply to a question as TO whether he
would look 20 New York city for his
manager, Mr.. Bennett said: Not nee
essarily. | have my eye on several
highly recommended st. Paul and Mill
neapolis men. and, as matter OF fact,
should prefer a man from west of Chi
cago for the place. My opinion is that
there is any amount of good hotel
talent to be found in the Western cities.
without striking those of the East. No;
nv visit to New York has no connection
with this matter of a manager, as have
already about made up my mind on that
score. ! don't care to give any names
at this time, but you may say that the
future manager OF the big Tacoma
hotel may, perhaps. be MinneSOtian."
i
Passengers on the east-bOund Mil
waukee train yesterday were Thomas
Spencer, consular agent at lilo. Sand
witch Islands, and August Z. Hupke,
consular agent at Kahului, in the same
group. Mr.. Spencer was found by a
GLOBE reporter in the smoking car, and
in reply to question as to his dPStina
ton and that of Mir. Hopke, replied:
1--WE are relatives 10y marriage. Mr..
HOpke and myself, and therefore have
the same people to visit IN the East.
We 90 to New York first and thence To
Baltimore, remaining about two months
altogether"
Speaking of the progress in agrieuIt-
ure, business and general education
which has taken place in the Sandwich
Islands during the past three years, Mr..
Stevens aid that there were over 4UO
schools III the group. and that very few of
the children were unable to read, write
and cipher. The old people, he says,
are difficult to impress with the imDOr-
lance of education, though their prog
TesS in agricultural science has been
wonderful. MIR. HOpke says that there
are four Minnesota Chief threShlng ma
chimes in HilO to his knowledge, and
improved American machinery is be-
coming general. The rice crop for the
present season is an extremely large
one; and the mixture of imported
strains of sheep and Swiss goats with the
native herds of those animals has i'm
proved the stock wonderfully. The
harbOr. SAYS Mr.. Stevens, is now sell
dom empty; there is always some sort
of trading vessel lying there, anu eX-
port trade is increasing in a wonderful
manner. Miss HOpke and Mrs. Stevens
are of the party, and seem delighted al
the country they have travelled since
their arrival in San Francisco TWO weeks
since.
When asked a question regarding the
sentiment of the islanders on the re-
Gently contaminated commercial treaty
between the United States and Hawaii.
Mr.. Spencer seemed disinclined to talk,
but said that in all probability the wis
dom of the step would become apparent
later to those who could not now indorSe
it. In his opinion the treaty was great
gain to the islands and an equally great
one TO the States. When asked the SEN
timent of the people of Hawaii regarding
possible annexation to the States, MIR.
Spencer refused to express any opinion
whatever. remarking thathe considered
opinions on such subjects best left un-
expressed.
