 q was reading in the papers to-day Of a fashionable wedding that took place from the Palace Hotel, and it brought to my mind a wedding that once came on at Point Barrow, in the Arctic. A man by the name of O'Hara had been left in charge of some bone that was ashore, and had taken up with native woman, with whom he had been living for some time when the revenue cutter, with Missionary Sheldon Jackson, the same fellow who has played the Government for trip abroad to procure reindeer when he could get them on this side at half the expense and far less trouble, came along.
 Jackson heard of the connection, and was properly shocked, as became one of his professed sanctity. Captain he said to the vessels commander, this is scan dalousl It must be stopped. They should be married Well, why don't you marry them?' answered the captain "Ihe man might object, replied the missionary. 'Obiectr exclaimed the commander. TIC like to see any fo-castle son of tar bucket object aboard this ship. I am the law here' Then. turning to the quarter master, Send O'Hara aft. That indi- vidual soon appeared, and the captain, addressing him, said: 'O'Hara, report at 10 o'clock tomorrow with your woman for marriage directly after muster Aye, aye, Sor, answered the disciplined son of Neptune, as he saluted. The next morning OHara and his lady love were on hand, but Jackson refused to perform the ceremony, as he said the sailor would desert his wife as soon as he got to civilization. What has that to do with it?' inquired the practical captain. Would he not do the same thing if ne was welded to a Malay girl in Java or a Chinese at Hong kong? However, since I have given the order 1t must be executed. O'Hara! Wis, sorP Are you ready? 'Ot am, sor! Salute and consider yourself married, and take this plug of navy to begin your honeymoon on.' O'Hara did as he was ordered, and the happy couple went over the side hand in hand.
 ''The wedding stood, for when OHara came down to civilization he took a little 2-year-old boy with him. which he now sends to school, and every time the whalers go north he sends enough to keep Mrs. O'Hara through the ensuing year"

Seeks Reciprocity,

Washington, Dec. 31.-It is said that
one of the purposes of the present visit
to Washington of the United States
minister to Venezuela, Mr.. Loomis, is
to start negotiations for n reciprocity
treaty between Venezuela and the
United States. This is rather an unex-
pected step, as Venezuela was one of
the few South American countries
which did not make a reciprocity treaty
under the former system. At that time,
however, Venezuela suffered by having
her coffee practically excluded from the
United States, because Brazil and other
coffee-producing countries had the re-
duced duties under reciprocity treaties.
This experience makes Venezuela one
of the first of the southern republics
to consider the question of a reciprocity
treaty under the Dingley law.

MINNESOTA STATE NEWS
A Good Showing.

On Jan. 1, 1898, the two years will
have expired which constituted TIN,
term of the agreement made by f. III
Peavey with the newsboys of Mime
apolis. 1t will be remembered tina
Mr.. Peavey offered to duplicate the
savings Of seventy-five newsboys to the
extent of 81 every three months for
one year, and to guarantee interest on
the deposits for two years, the sums
deposited not to be drawn out in that
time. The plan proved very popular.
The seventy-five newsboys started in
hrlskly and were further stimulated
by an offer of the Minneapolis Journal
to add to Mr.. Peavey's gift by an adj
ditional dollar. Mr.. Pcavey's desire to
encourage in the boys habit of saw
ing has borne good fruit. Of the sew
enty-five boys who accepted his offer
two years ago, sixty-eight are still
fulfilling the conditions of the agree
ment. Under the agreement the seven
boys who dropped out forfeited the
sums advanced by Mr.. Peavey, but
they were at liberty to take their own
money.

WEYLER OiSGRACED.
His Arrest Ordered because lie
Talked Too Much.

Talked TOO Mucn.
Madrid. Dec. 81. - Gen. Weylcr's ar
rest at late hour Thursday night, fol-
lowing the seizure of three newspapers,
indicates that the government is de-
termined to forestall any diplomatic
action on the part of the United States
in connection with the publication
Thursday afternoon of the memorial
which the former governor general of
Cuba has addressed to the queen regent,
assailing President Mckinley in con-
nection with his message to congress.
The memorial is couched in terms to
which the American government would
have right to take exception, seeing
that Weyler is still general on the
active list of the Spanish army.
It is considered that the course
adopted by the Sagasta cabinet in ar
resting the general, in selling the en-
tire issues of the conservative paper
La Epoca, of the Robledist paper Ell
Nacional. and of the Carlist paper FL
Correo Espanol, and in instituting pro-
ceedings against the editors for pub
fishing the memorial, will suffice to
avert any American action in the mat
ter.
Madrid, Dec. 81. = Gen. Weyler, the
former captain general of Cuba, in his
memorial to the queen regent on the
subject of President McKinley's mes
sage to congress, says he is honored by
the attacks made upon him, and that
his conduct as encouragement was
that of a soldier animated by honor and
patriotism. Such attacks, therefore,
Gen. Weyler adds, will do him no harm,
as they are aimed at him. he asserts,
simply because he has done his duty.
Nevertheless, he continues, "since the
message contained insulting observa-
tions on the Spanish troops in Cuba"
he believed it to be his duty to address
a protest to the crown. Gen. Weyler
affirms that the so-called pacificos
whom he concentrated in the fortified
districts were the prime abettors of the
rebellion. The protest of the general is
couched in courteous language.
