aGoin' TO the CircuS.''

There is nothing in this world that
will sharpen the wits and gear up a

ries, going to Sunday school, weed
ing the garden, promising to keep

ply days were recalled the other day
as We saw three boys gazing at the
Ringing bill boards with that in
tense longing peculiar TO u boy to
see i'll reality what those highly col
ored pictures portrayed. The fero-
cious lion leaping through a hoop;
the beautiful lady equestricnne with
one foot pointing to six O'Clock and
the other to high noon; tine tattooed
clown his '95 model joke still trying
to scorch on cushion tire; the lovely
feminine meteor flying from a canon
20 gracefully sail through the air
with an out-curve that none of the
boys could catch onto; the trick mule,
the riderless horse, the band knock
ing the stuffin' out OF "Big Ais it
any wonder the boys were ready for
a whispered consultation as to how
they could ''cut the ice?" As the
shades ofnightfell softly DER prairies,
Seth and Chris and Porter were Gid
ing silently over the trackless plain,
their trained eyes alternately upon
the north star and the Greenleaf well
tower. Not a bent blade of grass es-
capped their eagle eyes, not acoyote's
yelp was lost to their acute hearing,
but with that unerring instinct of
trained hunters they paced the quar-
ter sections twenty-five miles north
west as the crow flies. Just as the
first grey steaks OF % June morning
shot athwart thesky they reached the
scene OF action. Ere long the echoes
~resounded with the sudden wnip-hke
crack OF Chris trusty rifle, and the
bald mountains flung back the dying
message of another wolf to her cubs.
And with lively anticipat:ons OF the
circus and red lemonade, the BOYS
soon had niae wolf scalps dangling
at their beits-worth $22.50 coin OF
the realm. The earth was theirs.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, November 5.-Holland
aid Hawaii were united yesterday by a no
table marriage in St. Paul. The Grown
painter to the Dutch royal family, a dis
tirguished European artist, was married
to the daughter Of Hawaiian kings, a
widow of remarkable beauty. The groom
was Joseph Hubert Vos Of The Hague The
bride was Eleanor Kaikilani Graham of
Honolulu. Rev. DR.. John Paul Egbert of
the House of Hope Presbyterian Church
officiated at the wedding which was very
private. only two personal friends and the
two children of the bride being present
Despite strenuous attempt to suppress
all public knowledge Of the marriage, 1t
was learned that Mr.. Vos Is one Of Europe's
famous portrait painters. During several
years he has, however, resided in this
country, being recently located at Fort Tot
ten, N. D., supposedly to study Indian
types.
Mrs. Vos is said to belong to one of the
Hawaiian royal dynasties. Her maiden
name, kaikilani is alleged to be more than
distinguished name at Honolulu. Her
former husband is believed to have been a
planter of vast wealth.
The position of the witnesses harmonized
with that of the principals in this mar
riage. Mr.. Moffat proved to be an ex-con-
sui general of the United States in London.
He served ten years, beginning his first
term when James Russell Lowell was min
lister to the court Of st. James. Mr.. Moffat
was also assistant solicitor of the State
Department under Secretaries Blaine and
Frelinghuysen. He is now practicing law
at Denver
The unknown witness came from Mime
apolis. He is an intimate friend and chum
of the groom. His name is Samuel r.
Thayer, former minister plenipotentiary of
the United States to The Hague.
Mr. and Mrs. Vos will start for Honolulu
this afternoon.

SPANS REPLY.
Full Text Has Been Received by the
State Department.

State Department
The full text of the Spanish reply to the
note of United States Minister Woodford
has reached the State Department, and is
now under examination by the officials.
So far as can be learned, it is not the in
tention of the administration to give It
publicity now, so that the interest of the
people must Re satisfied at present with the
more or less official statements emanatin,
from Madrid as to the character Of the
Spanish note. 1t is expected that the
President will make this note and the cor
respondence leading up to it the basis for
one of the most important chapters of his
forthcoming message to Congress upon the
reassembling of that body in December
next. Meanwhile 1t is not believed to be
probable that any radical change in pol
icy will characterize the correspondence
between the two countries, unless some
thing unfore eseen occurs.
1t appears that the determination of the
Spanish cabinet to court-martial General
Weyler, while not directly due to a request
OF this government, was probably inspired
by an intimation from the State Depart
ment that his utterances were not calculat-
ed to smooth the way of the negotiations.
1t is surmised that by thus acting with
promptness the Spanish cabinet may have
paved the way for a counter-remonstrancc
against the publications Of ex-United
States Minister Hannis Taylor. The condi-
tions In the two cases, however, are said
at the State Department to be entirely diff
ferent. General Weyler being a Spanish
army officer, is amenable to discipline for
any Interference with the policy of the
government. while Mr.. Taylor, being a pri-
vate citizen, is not accountable to his gov
ernment for his individual utterances. The
officials however, regret that he has as
private citizen made use of events that
came to his notice while he was not a pri-
vate citizen, but United States minister,
although they confess that there Is prece-
dent for his course, notably in the case OF
United States Minister Schuyler.
