WERE MARRIED At SEA,
Strange Predicament in Which a
Santa Cruz Couple Was
Placed.
The Bride Arrived on Time, but
Two Months Residence Was
Necessary.

The story of one of the most romantic
marriages ever performed on the high seas
was brought to San Francisco by the
Pacific Mail Company's steamer City of
Sydney yesterday.
1t was question of the bride remaining
in Guatemala for two months before the
ceremony could take place, or else
going to sea and having the ceremony per-
formed She chose the latter alternative,
and Captain Frank II. Johnston tied the
knot.
When the City OF Sydney left San Fran
cisco two months ago. Miss Edna Miller of
Santa Cruz was one of the cabin passen-
gers. At Champerieo she was to have met
her betrothed, Harry Berge, and according
to prearrangements they were to be mar
ried as soon as the steamer arrived. Be
tween the sailing of the Sydney from this
port and her arrival at Champerico, Berge
applied for license, and was dumfounded
when he was told that he could no be mar
ried under the laws of Guatemala until
Miss Miller had lived two months in the
country. This was q setback, and when
the bride arrived she refused to be COM
forted.
Ii was then that Captain Johnston
stepped IN and made the young couple
happy again. He knew Harry Berge be-
fore he left San Francisco, and was ready

tween Japan and the United States would re-
port as follows:
The empire of Japan comprises a chain of
Islands extending northerly and southerly
and to the eastward OF the eastern shores of
China and a portion of Russia, and divided
therefrom by the Japan Sea, the eastern shores
of the island being washed by the Pacific Ocean.
The empire includes within its limits 155,-
552 square miles OF territory, and is credited
with population approximating 40,oO0,00o
souls.
The current treaty between that country and
the United States opens to commerce of our
country the ports OF Kobe, Hakodate, Yoko-
hama, Nagasaki and Nigata. For the purpose
Of this report we win deal with Yokohama, as
il is an index to the whole. From San Fran
cisco Yokohama is distant, ordinary steam
route, 1886 miles; steam by way OF Honolulu
York the distance is: Via Good Hope, SAL,
1927 miles; via Suez canal, steam, 10 o4O
between Liverpool ana 1oKondIna VIZ ~ 20oa 0oa
Hope IA sos miles, and via Suez canal 10000
miles.
The facilities for transportation OF freight
between Japan and the United States are equal
TO the facilities afforded to all great ports OF
the world at the present day. ,
Traffic between Atlantic ports OF the united
States and Japan is carried either IN sal!lhg
vessels OF in tramp steamers. The number oil
vessels available for the trade is lIlinitaple,
and as far as that goes the facilities VIII keep
pace with the demands.
Between the Pacific Coast and Japan there is
at present five lines of steamships plying from
the following ports: San Francisco Two ana
one each from Portland, Tacoma ana NlcLOrla'
The facilities TO and from the port OF san IRAN
cisco cannot be said at present to equal the de-
mands, since again and again is cargo LETT on
the dock at this port because Of lack OF space
In outgoing steamers. This, however, In con-
nection with the subject at issue is a trivial
point Sail charters can be secured for the
voyage from Japan to San Francisco at ~ 90
tion.

committee has been specially directed. namely,

to do all III his power to help him. The
young man is an electrician and went to
Guatemala under engagement to the Gov
eminent. He is stationed at Quezalten-
ango, sixty miles from the seacoast, and
has full control of the electric plant estab-
lished there. When he explained the pre-
dicament Johnston said, Whats the mat
ter with getting married at sea? Nine
miles off shore / can perform the ceremony,
and it will be Just as binding as though
you were married In church and had the
necessary license. Two months from now
you can be married again if you want to,
but 1t will only be adding the sanction of
the church to legal ceremony"
Berge and Miss Miller jumped at the
opportunity and few hours later the CITY
of Sydney was under way and A. NJ.
Blackman and host of others were soon
hard at work decorating the ship and get
ting the hurricane deck and saloon ready
for the ceremony. The cooks were put to
work and by the time the Sydney was nine
miles off shore sumptuous repast was
ready.
When Captain Johnston after a careful
examination announced that the ship was
more than three marine leagues from
shore the bride and groom were notified.
Everybody assembled on the hurricane
deck and under beautiful marriage bell
made OF tropical flowers procured at
Champerico the ceremony was performed.
The bride had her wedding gown with
her, and Captain Johnston says it was q
magnificent robe of white silk. The usual
veil and orange blossoms accompanied
the costume.
Louis Hirsch of Castle Bros, who had
been reported as dying of yellow fever,
was well enough to give the bride away.
Miss May Taber was bridesmaid, and
Lieutenant Ferris, U. S. A, best man.
In spite of the strange surroundings the
ceremony was most impressive one, and
it was only after Captain Johnston had
kissed the bride and addressed her as Mrs.
Berge that the spell was broken Then
the congratulations poured in from the
passengers, and it was some time before an
adjournment was taken to the cabin.
The City of Sydney was kept at sea for a
few hours longer and then returned to
Champerico. Mr.. and Mrs. Berge were
given three cheers as they stepped off the
gangplank, and the steamer headed for
San Francisco.
The remainder of the voyage was an un-
eventful one, and the steamer brings no
later news than came up on the City OF
Everett.

the hospital in very low condition. The
injections were given to him as last re-
sort. According to his own statement,
made during the time of the treatment, he
improved decidedly.
1.-THE lymph used at that time in the
early stages of the investigation caused a
| little pain locally. On this account he
desired to discontinue the treatment,
although, according to the records of the
ward, he had decidedly improved, feeling
better, coughing less and looking decidedly
better. He received no further treatment,
according TO the new method, after No.
vember 8. He remained in the ward until
January 13, and then left On account of a
dispute with the female nurse of the ward
IN which dispute he swore SO violently
that the nurse was compelled to report
him to the inferno on duty.
the lymph that is used now causes no
pain, and all of the patients who are treated
with it are enthusiastic in its praise, their
cough diminishing, their weight increas-
ing, the bacilli of tuberculosis diminishing
with all, and with some disappearing
entirely. One patient has gained as much
as fifteen pounds in four weeks.
