Romance Which Began in Indiana and
Ended in Hawaii

An interesting romance, which began In
Muncie. Ind. and ended in Honolulu, has
just been told to the brides relatives in the
Indiana town. Twenty years ago Miss Allie
Smell, eldest daughter of DIR. s. Smell, now
deceased. and George w. R. King were
schoolmates and lovers. They agreed to get
married when both reached a certain age,
but the young mans parents moved from
Muncie and finally landed in Honolulu,
where they have since resided. Miss Smell
was later married to Thomas Connor and
for many years the couple have lived hap
PLY together. They moved to San Fran
cisco three years ago, and a year later were
divorced, after she had learned the place of
residence of her schoolmate lover and the
fact that he was unmarried. Soon after
the divorce the lady met her childhood s
lover and wedding was arranged for upon
the arrival of Mrs. Connor in Honolulu.
The lady is the possessor of large proper
ties, mostly located in Muncie, and her new
husband is a rich man.

Smale's Restoration

The Herald does not as rule wait upon
church clerks for its information, even con-
cernng church matters. Last Thursday
The Herald published the fact that the Rev.
Joseph Smale, pastor of the First Baptist
church, had rendered his resignation. Now
comes w. T. Jacoby, church clerk, and says
In reference to the item in your issue
of the 9th inst. relative to the rumored
report of the resignation of Rev. Jo-
seph Smale as pastor of the First Bap-
tist church of this city. wish to advise
you that such publication was both
premature and not in accordance with
the facts. While 1t is true that the pas
tor had placed in the hands of the Off
GERS of the church his resignation,
based upon reasons in connection with his
intended marriage, upon their subse-
Quent earnest solicitation the resigna-
tion was withdrawn. and the church re-
joices in the fact that the eminently
satisfactory relationship existing be-
tween pastor and people is to be con-
tiued without interruption.

SHE HoRSEWHIPPED HIM
Exciting Street Row Between Husband
and Wife

Justice Owens yesterday heard the testi-
mony against A. ]. Springer, arrested on
complaint of Mrs. Springer, who claimed
that her better half had committed bat
terry upon her. Springer is fireman at the
Pico-street chemical company, and he and
his wife reside in pretty cottage opposite
the engine house. Mrs. Springer claimed
that on last Wedne sday she went to the en-
gine house for the purpose of getting some
money from her husband, but the latter, in
stead of complying, took advantage of their
being alone in the dormitory and struck her
number of times.
This angered her greatly, and she went
down stairs, got whip and then came after
Springer whom she met in the street. Mrs.
Springer proceeded to break even in the
matter of chastisement by horse whipping
the fireman. She claimed that he. in try
ing to take the whip away, struck her some
more. She claimed further that he then
pinoned her hands behind her, marched her
into their home and there proceeded to whip
her. Severa! witnesses of the meeting in
the street were examined, but all the evi-
dence went to show that Springer had
merely used sufficient force to obtain pos
session of the whip. AS to the alleged bat
teries upon her, nobody witnessed them ex-
cept the participants, If any occurred. JUS
tice Owens took the case under advisement.

Repeating the leading features of his
Birmingham speech, Mr.. Chamberlain de-
clared:
"If it became known that we were willing
to consider alliances, it is not unlikely
that advances would be made to us. A
mutual understanding with one of the
great powers would save a very large
addition to the navy"
In concluding he referred to the import
ance of close understanding with Amer
ica," adding: "In my opinion, on such a
matter the United States would not listen
to the Irish vote"
But whether England or America were
menaced, he said he hoped it would be
found that blood is thicker than water
and without desiring to force either ma
ton to enter into an alliance with which
majority Of both peoples did not thor
oughly sympathize, he would repeat his
conviction that the closer, the more de.
fined and the clearer the alliance between
the United States and England the better
1t would be for both nations and for civiliz-
alton.
Mr.. Chamberlain's speech ended amid
loud cheers from the benches.

fREEhOLDfR ELECTION
THE DUTIES OF THE BELATED
CONVENTION
Nominations Must Now Be by Petition
as Necessary Thirty Days Notice
Has Expired

Recognizing the necessity for new
charter, the city having entirely outgrown
the old one the Jeffersonian society some
months ago issued invitations to the po-
litical parties and commercial organiza-
tions to meet in convention for the pur-
pose of discussing plan for the formation
of a new charter. All the organizations
invited attended and the meeting proved
successful in every way.
1t was decided to have an election called
for the purpose of electing a freeholders'
ticket of fifteen, who would prepare a
charter to be subsequently offered for the
approval of the voters of the city.
The various organizations represented
at the meeting were authorized by resolu-
ton of the body to select their candidates
for the freeholders ticket and present the
same to the convention at its next meet
ing. Several of the organizations made
their appointments for the ticket, but the
convention when it met adjourned with
out action until the election for freehold
ers should have been called by the city
council.
That action was taken a few days ago
and the date of the election set for July s.
The convention is now called again fol-
ers' ticket, but a legal obstacle has ap
peared and the nominees for freeholders
must be presented by petition, as thirty
days before the election is required in or
der to make convention nominations con
| form to the law. AS less than the re
| qured thirty days remain, the nominations
by petition and not by convention will nov
prevail.
In selecting candidates for a ticket, i

izations be accorded the places on tn
ticket for which they were selected an.
it is the intention of the majority Of tn
convention that this be done. Those or
ganizations which have not yet made the
selections are requested to do SO withil
the next few days in order that the Who'll
ticket may be ratified by the convention
which Chairman Patterson has decided t.
call next Tuesday. The object Of the meet
ing, comprising, as it does, all the repre-
sentative bodies of the city, is to Civ

FRENCH WARES BoYCoTTED
Women Resent the Sister Republics
Attitude Toward Spain

In several eastern cities there is serious
talk among society leaders Of placing taboo
on French millinery, table dainties and all
other goods from the republic across the
seas. The reason for this boycott is the
righteous indignation OF American women
because of the attitude assumed by France
regarding the Spanish-American war. If
women generally take up the idea 1t will
mean loss to France of about $50 900, 900
annually Indeed. should all table delica-
cies and wines be included this figure would
be vastly increased. The movement has not
yet taken such form as would justify one
in calling it general, but some influential
women have lent their encouragement and
it need not be wondered at If many others
follow. One New York society SWELL we'll
