MARRIED A MILE UP.


 A Story Retold~by MT. Thomas Be-
 fore the Historical Society Last
 Evening "A Paper Read on the
 Hawaiian Government.
 The Historical society had fairly well attended meeting ;n their rooms in the Insurance building last evening. Two in teresting papers were read, one by D. s. Thomas.in which he described his experi- ences from thirty-four balloon ascensions, most of which were with Professor Don aldson while in the employ of Barnum. He had some thrilling adventures to relate which held the close attention of the hearers and among other incidents he told of marriage which took place more than 6 mile above Cincinnati. The contracting parties were Charles Calvin, now police man in New York. and Miss Mary Walsh. This was probably the most novel wedding ceremony that ever took place and oc- cured in 1874. w. c. Coup, the well known circus man, acted in the capacity of best man and Miss Annie Votes was | the bridesmaid Rev. MT. Jeffreys of Pittsburg tied the knot. Professor Don' aldson and MT. Thomas were the other oc- | cupants of the balloons car to witness the ceremony. It is enough to say the happy | couple experienced no evils from the lofty point where their wedding ceremony was l consummated and have ever since lived happy lives. This was bright little bit | of advertising for which MT. Thomas wal responsible.
 l When he finished his paper MT. Thomas
 was given the society's unanimous vote oi l thanks.
 The next paper was also interesting ant
 instructive, read by MT. M. M. Cover of thi' city, who was for seventeen years resi-
 dent of the Sandwich Islands. His papel
 was on the Hawaiian government. Mir
 Gower, in his long residence there, gained
 a thorough knowledge of the workings O 1 governmental and social affairs in tha
 kingdom, and some of the facts he impart
 ed last night were of no little interest t'
 the audience. He also received the society | hearty thanks.

Dead of Perityphl1tis.

HARTFORD, May 25.-Last evening oc- cured the death of Hovhanness Gorobad Popezian, native of Asiatic Turkey and a student at the Hartford theological semi nary. He was taken suddenly ill week ago Saturday and we'll defined symptoms of perityphlitis developed. This disease is often caused by the lodgment of some solid substance which has been eaten in the vermiform appendage, and was 80 di. agnosed in this case. it an autopsy to-day a small muskmelon seed was found in the little sac, which had caused his death. The most curious thing about it is that the seed was probably received into the stomach some time last summer when Popezian was on visit to his native land. After his return to America in the fall he was afaict- ed with perityphlitis, but recovered. In- stead of being forced out, as is often the case, the seed remained in the vermiform appendage, and when he caught cold in- 6ammation ensued and finally death. This is the third case of death from this cause within year in this city, though never before has seed been known to have re- mained 80 long in this position

The Scene at the Hyperion-ssU and
 I'' Presented to a Large Audience
 The Nobles Enjoy 1t Hugely-A
 Rare Scene of Jollificatfon.
 After the banquet the nobles proceeded in body to the Hyperion theater, where the farce comedy, "U and l." introducing Brothers Gus Williams and John T. Kelly, was presented under the patronage of Mecca temple of New York city and Pyra- mid of Bridgeport. The seats of the vast theater were filled. The entire parquet was solidly occupied with the members of the order, each in full evening dress and red fez. The members were also dis tributed in other parts and in one of the upper galleries. Some of them had large tin horns and excellent pairs of lungs and at times caused the four walls to more than ring with the noise therefrom. When the curtain rose disclosing pretty Florrie West seated in an armchair, cheers after cheer and cries of "Ah!" went up from thou sand or more throats of the Mystic Shriners: who for the nonce had become boys again, and everything went to such an ex- tent that to any outsider of the mystic cir cle the affair seemed more like jollifca- tion meeting of students than Q regular theatrical performance. However, the mo- bles enjoyed themselves, as did also the company and the general public was so well pleased with the novelty of the thing that everybody was perfectly satisfied and contented. Manager Bunnell, ably assist ed by Press Agent Morton and Treasurer Van Buren, were seemingly everywhere at once, looking out for the comfort of the guests, and to these gentlemen much credit is due for the able and efficient manner in which the comfort of the vast audience was looked after Gus ovation when they appeared on the stage and were in addition the recipients of beautiful floral offerings from the nobles of the Mystic Shrine.
 Of the performance nonght but praise can be said.
 There is just enough of story woven to- gether in U and to carry the numerous speciality acts which are introduced by this band of clever comedians. Gus Williams is quiet, easy, natural comedian in Ger man character, always mindful of his busi- ness on the stage, with 8 fund of unctuous humor upon which he does not overdraw, while J. T. Kelly is broad, rollicking Irish comedian, with a genuine humor, " Mn.en 10 III great measure spontaneous. Naturally man of comic manner, he has the merit of being funny without offense. broad without being too coarse.
 The company is very brilliant, of which the following members are specially wor- thy of mention:
 Charles Wayne, who assumes the char acter of a colored janitor in the building where the flat is located, which is the tho ater of all the fun, does not show his par ticular talent to good advantage until he is allowed to do tumbling dance. It is then that he makes hit and establishes himself as a favorite. Charles F. Walton Is . come- dian in the neighborhood of seven feet high, end hs is ss slender ss speci sftsy
