MARRIAGE LAWS CHANGED.

The formalities preceding marriage
in France, which have hitherto been OF
a formidable character, have been mo-
dified, no doubt in view OF the dwlnd-
ling population of the republic. men
over 25 and women over u can now be
united without the consent OF their
parents, after presenting a single re-
spectful notification of their intent
and waiting one month before proceed
ing to extremes Consenting parents
are no longer obliged to have recourse
to notary and formal deed, but may
go to the municipal office and register
the permission free of cost. When the
parents are divorced the consent OF the
innocent party will suffice, and when
they are dead, missing or imprisoned
mere oath fully attested, will serve II
place of legal proof.

TO GO NORTH.
"Pat" Hughes Will Get on the Edge
of the kiondike whirlpool.

Pat" Hughes, engineer at No. / fire
station, on King street, will soon steer
in the direction of the Klondike. He
may not go to gold fields. His present
intention is to land at Vancouver and
sniff the boom air. Things are lively
in that neighborhood. Mr.. Hughes will
visit Seattle and other Alaskan en-
barging points and if he concludes that
it will be worth the while will head for
the Yukon. Jack Bowen, of the Ho-
nolulu Iron Works, will accompany
Hughes. They are the first of all the
Honolulu men who have been pouring
ice water on the pulse Of their klon-
dixie fever to really make the break.
While the family of Mr.. Hughes will
go to San Francisco, he retains inter
ests here in the shape Of real estate
and intends to return to the Islands.
Mr.. Bowen, who has been here cou-
pie of years, has at presnt no plans be-
yond getting on the edge of the Klon-
/ dixie stampede with Hughes and seeing
what the effect Of the contact will be.
The engineer at No. / house has been
/ in the Islands for Is years and wanted
a trip anyhow. He served his time in
the Risdon Iron Works, at San Fran
cisco, where he was born. Coming to
Honolulu he was with Mr.. Young in
/ +bo IJo,oI,,I,, Iron WORKS for covnro
years. Then he was one Of the men
picked to go to the new shop when the
Union Iron Works Company opened its
business on Queen street in opposition
to the pioneer plant When the Union
closed down Mr.. Hughes went into the
valunteer fire department and was II
time placed with the engine at No.
under the reorganization. He has
given thorough and entire satisfaction
: in the position and besides caring fo
the steamer has done lot of repai
and construction work for the depart
ment, especially in the new Contra
station. Chief Hunt will be sorry t
lose him.

Damage at Mare Island.

Mare Island, Cal, March 3l.-The
earthquake was very severe here, doing
damage estimated at $4,000. The saw.
mill was prostrated and Is a complete
wreck The government hospital and
several shops were badly damaged. The
navyyard employees were reused from
their beds and made a hasty inspection
Of the grounds and the warships in

that the vessels suffered any harm OF
that the valuable plant OF machinery
was affected.
