HE LOVES AND LOSES.
The Duke Of York Will Marry Princess
May


LONDON, May lit is a pity that
the announcement Of the betrothal of
the Duke of York and Princess May
could not have been made under
happier circumstances. 1t appeared to
be forced by a false report which got
into print on the previous day to the
effect that the young Prince had been
secretly married to the daughter of an
English officer at Malta. There have
been indications, if court gossip counts
for anything, the Prince has long had
most sincere admiration for this charm
ing daughter Of one of the Queens
defenders. 1t is affirmed that The
Prince of Wales felt it necessary to
interfere in order to prevent this
attachment becoming SO strong as to
disappoint the matchmaking desires Of
the royal family and the whole nation.
Another shadow is thrown over the
felicitous occasion by busy rumors re-
garding the recent relations existing be
tween the Prince and Princess of Wales.
Gossip has dragged in the name of a
lady well known in society as the cause
of the alleged enlargement. The
rumors will probably soon be set at
rest by the announcement of the i'm
mediate return of the Princess and her
daughters to Join in the festivities at
tending the Duke of NCrk's betrothal.
That these festivities, eliminating in a
magnificent midsummer wedding, will
be the gayest London has seen for
many years, is already assured. Society
has been waiting with the greatest i'm.
patience for the Queens formal ap.
proval Of her grandsons betrothal in
order to plunge into the merriest,
maddest round of gayety it has ever
enjoyed.
1t appears from foreign office paper
issued last night that the United States
Consular Agent at Balboa has refused
to interest himself in the case of an
American seaman who had been kept
in prison there many months awaiting
trial on a trumpery charge, on the
ground that the man at the time of his
arrest was serving in an English ship.
This view of consular duties, to judge
from the correspondence that has
passed over the same case between
Lord Roseberry and the British
Consul, seems to have surprised the
foreign office here, and it is suggested
that the State Department at Washing
ton might do well to make inquiries

GORED BY A COW.
A Milkmans Fatal Battle at Jersey
City,

City.
New YORK, May Texas steers
are not in it with Jersey COW. Frank
Wooleon, of % Pamrahoo avenue, in
the Greenville district of Jersey City, is
a milkman and keeps a number of
COWS. He and his assistant, named
AlbreCht, went to the stables this morn
ing to drive the COWS to pasture. One
COW, a brindle, with white spots and a
somewhat vicious disposition, had been
kept in the stable all winter. As soon
as she got out she became risky, ran
around the street for few minutes, and
then made a dash toward Roam avenue.
Wooleon and AlbreCht ran after her.
She galloped as fast as a COW can gal
lOp through Roam avenue toward the
Newark Bay shore, aud a crowd fol
lowed, yelling and throwing stones at
her.
Occasionally, when a stone struck
her, the COW turned, lowered her head
and made dash toward her pursuers
At such times the crowd run in every
direction, lodging behind trees and
hiding behind the thick shrubbery
which abounds in that part of Green,
vile. On reaching the shore the COW
stopped, looked around and then started
back again. Wooleon and AlbreCht
headed her off and attempted to drive
her into the old barn. She looked at
them a minute, lashed her tail and bel
lowed. Then, selecting Wooleon, she
lowered her head and dashed at him.
He made for a neighboring tree, but
before he could reach It the COW caught
him on her horns and tossed him about
six feet in the air He went clear over,
and as she fell she turned and jumped
over him. She gored him and trampled
on him, and the horror stricken speCta.
tors thought he was killed Albrecht
run to his employers assistance, The
COW made a dash at him. She struck
him, but after turning a somersault he
got behind a tree. There he played
hide and seek with her till she got tired
of it and started up the street again
Here she ran into the crowds coming
from church and caused panic. Fin
ally the COW was shot WOoleon is hurt

HAWAII.
A Deeply interesting and Entertaining

A Deeply Interesting and Entertaining
Lecture by DR.. Sutlif.
At a regular monthly meeting of the
Museum Association at the Art Gallery
last evening there was large attendance.
The Iecture-room was comfortably filed
by a representative audience.
The business of the association con-
sisted of the reading of the minutes OF
the last meeting. and a presentation OF the
desires of the society by the President.
He stated that an enlarged membership
was q pressing necessity; larger attend
ence by the public at the meetings. ana
personal interest imposed, by local PRIDE,
on the part of the people IN the aims OF
the association-such as the promotion OF
the School of Design, the contribution OF
objects for the museum OF natural MS
tory, the presentation OF subjects Tor con-
sideration and examination, etc., etc.
The paper Of the evening was then
read by DR.. Frank y. Su5liff Of this city.
1t was on Hawaii" and was rapid,
graphic, ornate and witty recital of the
Impressions made on the doctor by Ha-
waiians. their manners, customs, super
stitions, politics, governmental conten-
tions, society, labor and industries, dur
ing his four years residence IN the island
group.
The DOCTOR treated the political situa-
ton from the standpoint Of sympathy
with the reyoluionists. He described
the leaders on both sides, sketched in a
most graphic manner the social condi-
tions of the common people, and took his
hearers into the everyday life Of the lowly
and middle class of Hawaiians.
He dwelt lightly upon Hawaiian statis-
tics, but warmly and interestingly upon
the condition of the natives and the
probabilities that the future has in store
for them.
The doctor spoke for over an hour, and
held his audience with perfect ease,
deeply interested from the beginning to
the close.
No synoptical presentation of the lee
ture could do it adequate justice. The
conclusions, however, reached by the
speaker were, thai the native Hawaiian is
not adapted by nature to labor of any
kind; that civilization cannot correct this
apparent defect; that, on the contrary,
civilization and Christianity carries with
them to the Hawaiian vices which are
rapidly working extinction; that while
the missionary has carried civilization
into the islands. it is to be broadened and
maintained only by the class born Ha-
waiian Of foreign parentage, or of mixed
native and foreign parentage, and by the
adopted citizen of Hawaii. Indeed, that
efforts in behalf of independence and
selt-goYernmentam among native HaWaiians
are SO much wasted energy.
1t was, in lis scenic descriptions, in its
friendliness, sympathy and pity for the
Hawaiians, in its humanity and broad
mindedness, and in its clear-cut analysis
Of social conditions in Hawaii, their
origin and certain outcome, delightfully."-
instructive and entertaining discourse,
Tor which the lecturer received the warm
commentator and hearty thanks of the
highly intelligent audience.
At the conclusion of the meeting the
directors met and elected M. j. Curtis a
director, to fill a vacancy caused by the
retiracy from the board of DR.. George
Pyburn.

Herman Lagos House Damaged to a
Small Amount.
The fire alarm turned in last night
about half-past II o'clock was caused by
e small blaze in the house of Herman
Lagos at 1908 Second street.
The firemen were at the fremen's ball
when the alarm sounded. Chief Guthrie
had arranged with the orchestra that in
case Of an alarm the signal should be
three sharp blasts on the cornet. The
Caledonia Varieties" was being danced.
when new variety was introduced into
the set by the signal, and the fire laddies
scattered and made quick time to the
scene.
MIR. Lagos had come home and found
his wife sitting in the room sewing. He
asked what caused so much smoke in the
house, and she answered that she had
just put some wood into the stove. Not
satisfied, he opened the door and the
smoke poured into the room. He gave
the alarm and rushed upstairs to get his
children out.
The fire started in a little summer
kitchen, where there had been no fire
during the day, and the cause is un-
known. The damage is slight, amount
ing to about 500.

DELIBERATE SUICIDE.
How r. f. Hoy Took His Own Life in
Woodland.
From Yesterdays Democrat

From Yesterdays Democrat.l
One of the most deliberate suicides ever
recorded in this county occurred at Yolo
about o'clock Tuesday night, when
Fred Hoy, in the solitude of his room,
sent ball crashing through his brain.
All the circumstances surrounding the
tragic affair indicate that the unfortunate
and desponding young man had pre-
meditated self-destruction for several
days, and had made all the necessary
preparations with a view of giving his
relatives as little trouble as possible.
Hoy was q young man of fine physical
appearance, and more than ordinary in
telligence. In Vermont he followed the
profession of teaching, but shortly after
his arrival in California he entered upon a
career of dissipation. AT first he worked
on farm as a laborer, but of late has
done no work at all, and spent most of
his time in saloons. He was nephew OF
George w. Woodard, but his uncle had
no influence over HMM fact the de-
ceased seldom ever associated with his
relatives.
on the bureau in his room was found
the following note:
''1f9. 1fdrSt0R-DEAR SIR: I received
your message too late. He can hire whom
he pleases. am going 10 blow the top of
my head off tonight. If any of my cred
itor friends say anything, tell them to go

Edmund Lewis, the well-known fruit
raiser, who lived near Sheldon, died un-

not been well for some weeks, his sick
ness being due to a complication of liver
and lung trouble, but had been confined
TO his bed only since last Sunday, and his
case was not considered dangerous. On
Tuesday, indeed, he had rested well and
felt better than usual, and his family were
therefore entirely unprepared for his
death, which took place at s o'clock yes
