She Has Found Her Calling.

Some days since young lady in
this city answered the advertisement
OF palmist in one Of the Kansas City
papers. The directions were to black
your hand with SCOT or ink and make
the imprint upon a sheet of paper
and from this the fortune would be
read and interpreted-when accom-.
panied by dollar. The lady did as
directed and was promptly Informed
by return mail, among other things,
that her proper calling was that of a
waiter. AS ii matter Of fact, that Is
the occupation which she is now pur-
suing.

He BOUGHT MANY PAPERS
TO KEEP STORY FROM FELLOW
PASSENGERS.
Bert Petersons Romantic Marriage
and Departure on the America Maru
This Morning-The Bride.

Newsboys coined money at the gang
way of the steamship America Maru
shortly before o'clock this morning
At the head of the gangway was n
young man of Honolulu, going away
In morning paper was a story of the
marriage of the young man. For some
reason he desired to squelch the story
aboard ship. or prevent it's reaching
the passengers, and bought up all of
the papers as fast as the newsboys
appeared with them.
The stock broker was married at 10
o'clock yesterday morning to Miss
White. The story was kept profound
secret during the day. Rev. Serene f.
Bishop tied the sacred knot. Only one
friend and an acquaintance were pres
ent. In particular the matter was kept
a secret from the young lady's mother.
Early in the forenoon Mr.. Peterson
engaged a stateroOm on the America
Maru. 1t was his intention at that
time to declare his marriage before go
ing aboard in the evening. By some
sad trick of luck, however the purser
of the steamer, just after noon, let the
room to someone else and when Bert
appeared later to claim it, it was gone
and the other party had complete pos
session.
There was anger and small scene,
but the situation could not be reme-
died. At the important juncture the
engineer came to the rescue and Of
fered his room to the young man for a
bonus of $780, This was paid al once
and the room taken.
Just why the announcement was not
then made is not clear. But it wasn't.
The few friends who We're in the secret
were led to suppose that the announce
ment would be made after the steam
ship got out on the high seas, possibly
not until after the period of seasck-
ness had passed But fate ordained
otherwise.
In some way Mrs. White found it out
about midnight. There was a fine ex-
hibition of maternal wrath. There
were upbraidings of the daughter for
unfilial want of confidence. There
were upbraidings of the son-in-law for
Othello-like conduct. The honeymoon
was in the umbra of tears and recrim-
nations. The marital meteorological
conditions seem to have been so omi-
nous that Bert" apparently decided
he would have the tidal wave of hur-
ricane of the ships cOmpany's banter
on his hands at the same time. Hence
he was up bright and early buying up
the newspapers to keep the story from
them.
The bride was Miss Mary Agnes
White, pretty, accomplished and %,
She and her mother have been visiting
relatives here for a month, and il is
said there was another suitor who had
the approval of the mother young
man from the east who came to Homo
lulu a few days ago to press his suit.
Mr.. Peterson said to friends last
night that he would return by the next
steamer from San Francisco, bringing
his wife with him.

Captain Adolph Frietsch, the dar-
ing navigator who crossed the Allan
tic in 1896 in forty-foot boat, will
in few days start from San Francis
co in II thirty-foot fiat-bottomed
schooner-rigged, every part of which
has been built by himself.
He expects to make Honolulu in 1S
days and from Hawaii will start on
the long trip to Manila, touching at
the Ladrone Islands.
Captain Freitsch has received from
the Prince of Monaco number of
small bottles, specially made, one of
which he will throw overheard each
day at noon after placing in it a rec
ord of latitude and longitude and 9th
er data.
The Prince of Monaco is an ardent
student of ocean currents and hopes
by this means to obtain much valu-
able information.
