Los ANGELES ROMANCE.
a Boy and Girl Married on the High Sea
by a Skipper.


by Skipper.
Los ANGELES, September 2d-A pretty
little romance comes floating over the sea
from Catalina island, the favorite seaside
resort Of Los Angeles. The steamer Her
mosa, plying between San Pedro and Ava
Ion on the island, had among her passen-
gers Frank Russell Baxter, a well-known
young man of this city, and Virginia Arm
strong, the daughter of wealthy people
here. 1t seems that the young man has
been paying court to the girl for some
months past, and his attentions were finally
objected to by the girls:parents, and Bax-
ter was forbidden the house
On Saturday the young lady announced
her intention of visiting friends camped at
Catalina, no objections being made by her
parents, who suspected nothing. On the
San Pedro train Baxter met the young lady,
and the young couple boarded the steamer
together. At Catalina they registered tithe
hotel as Frank Burch and Minnie Burch,
taking one room.
On arriving % the island a young man
approached Captain Pennington of the
steam launch Wanda and early this morn.
ing the couple went down to the wharf,
boarded the Wanda and steamed away to
sea. About six hours afterwards the party
returned TO Avalon and then the whole
secret came out.
The young man had chartered the
launch, he said, for few hours, and when
he reached point four miles from shore
he stepped up 10 Cap ain Pennington and
asked the skipper to marry them by virtue
of bis authority on the high seas.
The Captain was staggered for moment,
but recovered quickly, and. summoning
the mate to act as witness, performed the
ceremony as desired. The couple then re-
turned to the island and last night came
back to this city TO ask the forgiveness of
the stern parents. In all probability they
will be forgiven, as Baxter is very well

One evening few years ago the late
Elijah N. Haines, of Illinois, was called
upon to preside at meeting of lawyers
assembled in Springfield for the purpose of
considering the best means of passing a
bill then pending in the Legislature. Mr..
Haines, on taking the chair, explained the
purpose OF the meeting and suggested what
he thought would be the best way to in
sure the bills passage. Interrupting him,
a gentleman in one of the rear seats arose
and said:
"By the way, Mr.. Chairman, if | may
make suggestion, right here"
The gentleman's suggestion is very
good one" said the keen chair.
" How do you know" asked the gentle
man, little mifIed az haven't stated it
yet"
"Oh," replied Mr.. Haines, g thought
you said buy the way and am sure that
is the quickest and easiest means of obtain
ing a way to pass bill"
