Hula dancers from Hawaii visited the

out from the steamer Australia along

The Balloon CoIlapses.

Up to noon yesterday the monster bal
loon at Central Park could be seen swaying
gently to and fro and then it slowly but
surely got smaller and smaller till it utterly
collapsed. 1t appears that an extra strong
gust Of wind dashed it against an electric
pole close to where it was secured and a
projection from the pole punched hole in
its side. The owners mourn the loss
of $500 worth of gas which escaped
through the hole. 1t will be several days
before any more asceDsioDs can be made.

blanched the cheek of an older girl.
Sunday night she was married to JOS.
Calbee, but an hour after the Ceremony
she deserted him, declaring that she
had been forced into the alliance by her
parents. 1t appears that two weeks

trade followed. McSharer agreed to
give his daughter, in case Calbea would
secure his release.
The deal was carried out, and the
wedding ceremony was performed.
Agnes, the bride of al hour, refused to
live with her husband and will sue for
a divorce. a host of friends have prof
