Evidence that it was Planned
Some Time Before it
Occurred.

MONTREAL, Quebec, November IA.
Antiquarian Smith has obtained
conclusive evidence that the trunks
found on the schooner Marie Vic
toria, wrecked in the autumn of
1864, were the property of J..
Wilkes Booth, the assassin of Presi-
dent Lincoln. During that autumn,
several trunks marked "J. w. B.,
New Providence" were shipped on
board the Marie Victoria at Que
bee. How they reached Quebec is
unknown. It would appear that
Booth, in anticipation of the muir
der of Lincoln, had secretly sent
his theatrical wardrobe through
Canada, and had it shipped from a
Canadian port in expectation of
finding it at hand in one of the
Southern States when he had
succeeded in the object which he
had in view, and that the con-
spiracy to assassinate President
Lincoln was calculated q month
before it was consummated.

AoCH ELECTED.
an Evening of Excitement for the
Fire Ladies'.
Hunt and KaIawaia Elected by
Big Majority.

The election of the chief engineer
of the Honolulu Fire Department
and his two assistants took place
yesterday evening The polls opened
at $50. Long before that time a
large number of people were present
in close proximity to No. 2 Engine
House, where the election took place.
Seldom has fire election caused so
much excitement as this one; people
crowded Hotel street with an eager
desire to watch the happenings
and to hear the result. Workers on
behalf of both candidates were pres
emit in large numbers, and to their
credit, it must be said, that an honest
contest was carried on. In the
minds Of many, it was considered
that Robert More was to be the
chosen man. The friends OF julius
Asch did their work quietly, as was
their rule during the entire cam
paign. When the polls were opened
there was long line of voters anx
ious to deposit their ballots. The
fireman who had the distinction of
voting first was J. Fl. Lovejoy.
The votes came in thick and fast
for some time and with a very few
challenges. When matters were
quiet the rival candidates for chief
met at the polling place and ex-
changed ballots in a very friendly
way.
Shortly after the polls opened the
Royal Hawaiian Band under the
leadership of Prof. FL. Berger, COM
menced to enliven the already lively
crowd by playing some patriotic
airs.
The workers for both sides were
very earnest in their endeavors for
their favorite candidates, but were
very orderly in behavior caused
no arrests. Everything consid-
cred both sides have cause for
congratulation, Mr.. Asch for being
elected and Mr.. More for the earnest
work of his friends.
The following are the present posi-
tions of the elected: Mr.. Asch is
foreman of the Hook and Ladder
Company, Mr.. j. Ell. Hunt is foreman
of No. 2 Engine, and Mr.. d. L. Kala-
waia is foreman of Company No. 4.
When the result of the election
was made known loud cheers and
calls were made for speeches by the
newly elected engineer and his
assistants. They responded in
happy vein and the crowd responded
to Mr.. Asch's invitation to join him
at the house of the Hook and Ladder
Company, where refreshments were
served in a generous manner.
Below is the official vote:

L was always puzzled as to which was which.
When the nest was full Of eggs even then they
shared the long, loving service of bringing
their family into the world. Each of the birds
sat upon the nest, and when the children had
Clipped the shell both parents brought them
food, sang to them, and taught them to fly.
Nor did ever see manifestations of superior
and inferior relations between horses male and
female or other of the nobler orders of the
animal kingdom. They worked and rested,
ran and nibbled together in apparent equality.

would interfere with this divinely appointed
union, / would be totally against the woman

mental, and spiritual advancement the only
road up to natures standard of harmony TO
the human race. grieve over this unnatural
division Of the sexes into apparently antago-
nistic groups. We would usurp no rights of
men. We are willing to concede man his
half of the world, but he must give us ours.
To-day is transition period in the history of
woman, critical stage in the great cycle of
human development, and the light that never
shone on sea or shore is that by which we
must move forward if we move in safety. The
human being is a complex instrument, and the
attuningyourlifet to another requires the master
musicians hand. Since so-called progress be-
gam that is, the physical and mental struggle
for supremacy, there has been discord in this
sex relation. Now we are demanding some
what of melody. BY and by marriage will
rise to universal harmony, and this is the
love that will be the fulfllment of the law.
True marriage is perfect mating upon the
three planes-physical, mental, and spiritual.
At the present stage men have the greater
mental, women the higher spiritual develop
ment. Women must acquire the mental hardi-

hood of men and men must reach a higher
spiritual plane. If man may be called the
mind of the world, woman is its soul, but they
must be in harmony. Marriage must mean
companionship. There must be one standard
of fidelity. Wifehood and motherhood must
be voluntary. Marriage must be free, freely
bound to its own, free within the law of God,
and involving the perpetual, chaste, and sacred
union OF one man and one woman authorized
by the law, blessed by the church of God.
When was taken from my free life ON the

woman. | was bodily trammeled, laced,
pinched, tied, and restricted; and mentally /
was oyershadowed, hampered, and distorted by
conventional rules and Miss Grundy. To be free
bodily was hoydenish, to have opinions was
masculine, to have aspirations other than for
husband and children was unwomanly. 1t was
the secret pain caused in an ardent but very
timid and self-contained personality by this
sudden transition from the freedom of nature
to the prison of the world that led me to
dedicate my life to the emancipation of woman,
and the advancement of His Gospel who is the
best Friend that women ever knew.n
YES" said Lille Deyereaux Blake, ''wom-
ans progress does interfere with marriage 1t
makes girls fastidious. In New York two
thirds of the unemployed women marry, while
over one-half of the school teachers remain
single. This, said Mr.. Jasper, superintendent
OF public schools, is because sensible young
woman isn't exchanging a certain $50 for an
uncertain young man. Nor is this Independent
or emancipated woman to lose her attractive
ness. Higher education, finer thoughts, and
equal rights will not oblterate but rather add
TO youth and beauty. Charm and grace of
manner will then be properly supported, and
the man of the future may count upon having
a companion as well as a wife"
PARsoN SHAW ON $4,000 GIRLS AND TEN
CENT MEN.
The Rev. Anna b. Shaw, president of the
Wimodaughsis, national lecturer for the suf
fragist organization, when questioned said
without hesitation:

ton of woman, political, mental, and indus
trial, will have a marvellous effect upon mar

riage 1t will tend to decrease the number of
bad marriages. 1t will increase the number of
happy ones. Just so long as men continue to
marry their mental interiors, and women to
select their moral interiors; marriage will be
unequal and unsatisfactory. AS there will be
fewer ill-sorted marriages among equals, so
there will be smaller families and better chill
dren. If were to state the chief cause of do
mestic unhappiness where divorce is not
sought, would say it was the wifes lack of
financial independence. When women have
demonstrated their ability to earn money we
will not see the daily desecration of the insti-
tuition called marriage. In short, as Carrie
Lane Chapman put it, we will not have
$4,000 girls marrying ten-cent men, The
wife of the future will demand, not as a priyi-
lege, but as natural right her share of the
money, and she will enter matrimony as
partnership or she will carry ON existence
alone in reasonable Independence When
women are emancipated intellectually men
viii make them companions, and neither be
driven TO male acquaintaDces nor to other
women Tor mental stimulus Referring to the
effect of high education upon marriage, Miss
Shaw stated that careful study of college
alumni records develops the fact that college
bred women marry later in life and bear fewer
children, but that fewer of these children die
and they are superior both in physical and
mental constitution. Speaking of her per
sonal experience as a minister, she said:
For long time / was puzzled to know
why all of the marriage ceremonies performed
by myself had presaged ideally happy mar
rages They were not ideal people, but, hay
ing kept trace of them all for years, | was con
tinually surprised that each marriage had
proved a perfect mating Now, however,
begin to see that when a man is broad enough
to choose woman for this ceremony, or to
concede to his bride the right to select a
woman, he possesses the broad character
which will make of marriage something higher
and better than physical relation, or that of
master and housekeeper."

Years Without Knowing 1t.
Pittsburg Post.

PlCtSourg PoSt.
Mr. Jacob Smith, of the Third Ward has
just discovered that stone he has had in his
possession for twenty years is a valuable un-
cut diamond. During trip to Brazil in 1866,
while in the Government SERVICE Mr.. Smith
found curious stone, which he brought to
time ago he was attracted by the peculiar
change which nature was working in the
stone, turning it into thousands of brilliant
points. Upon trial he found it very hard, and
no file could make the slightest impression on
them. He submitted the stone to Professor
ID. Lewis, of Duneannon, Pa, who pronounced
the stone cluster of diamonds, worth at least
$4,000. The diamonds are very small, but
their immense number makes their value ex-
eeedingly great. Mr.. Smith has placed the
stone in safe deposit vault pending further
investigation.
