About Two Well Known Honolulu
People Entirely Without Truth.

The Springfield Republican, of
! Springfield, Mass, which never was
suspected of being yellow" publish
es the following as varacious fact, al
though there is not worl of truth in
! il. Much of il is as bare faced per-
version of history rs w. Gaspard de
! Coligny ever attempted. The excuse
cannot be offered that it treats entire
| w of far away matters of which the
writer could not he expected to have
! intimate and detailed knowledge, for
the purported early biography of An
drew Adams. New Englander. is as
much out of joint as any of the rest
of it. Adams is college bred man,
and was on one of the Providence pa
papers from the time he left college
until he came here. The Republican
story is as follows
According to reports from Hawaii,
accepted as authoritative, the little
town of Wichendon. i'm this state,
! hitherto famous as the terminus of
the Ware River railroad, has furnish
ed the successful sutton for no less inn
portant a person than Princess Kaiu-
! lani. The young man is Andrew Nd
ans, son of George Adams, well
| known engineer ON the Ware River
road. In Winchendon. Andrew Adams
! is remembered as happy go-lucky
| boy, who was imbued with an inordi-
nate desire for greatness His father,
! who is a respected resident of the vii
! lage, wanted his youngest son to fol-
low the life of railroad man. Five
years ago "Addy," as he is famiiarly
| known, went into the employ of the
Boston and Albany railroad, and was
| put on the same engine with his fa-
Their, but after six months spent in
heaving coal into the fire box he grew
weary and against the wishes of his
father suddenly quit the job He said
that he could make more money at
something else, without having his
hands banged up like a coal passer's.
Then Addy suddenly disappeared No
more was heard of him for three years
when a letter was received from Qua
temala from the absent one. which
depicted in glowing terms how he
had secured position with the South
American transportation Company as
checking agent. He said his salary
was $500 a month and the only incon-
venient thing about the new position
was the fact that three men who had
held the position had died with south
ern fever during the past year.
He drifted to Hawaii and his meet
ing with kaiulani was accidental and
romantic. 1t took place in the royal
gardens at Honolulu and the attrac-
ton was mutual Hardly had week
passed before Addy Adams proposed
marriage to Kaiulani, and she, it is
said, without hesitation, promptly ac-
cepted the propositions Through the
influence OF her auguest mother She
secured the position of superintendent
of all the Eva plantations for her new
master. and as that job required moth
ing more for Addy to do than to wear
good clothes and draw handsome
salary. the happy go lucky boy from
Massachusetts accepted his good for
ture without protest.
All preliminaries for the wedding
have been arranged if Dame RumOr is
true. The ceremony will take place at
the home of Harold Sewall. on the
oath of December. The young couple
have prepared plans for an extended
tour of the United States. and dur
ing this pilgrimage they will in all
probability visit the quiet little village
of Winchendon. where the old engin-
Ger will have an opportunity of salut-
ing the Hawaiian princess who has "a
ken his son for a husband. The Prin-
cess Kaiulani has attended the Airing
ton seminary at Los Angeles. Cali,
and accordingly is a thoroughly Ame-
ricaniZed representative of the roVal
home of Hawaii.
