There will be a surprise party OF
sensational proportions aboard the $.
5. America Maru before the good sh Up
reaches San Francisco. The boat
steamed out of the harbor at an early
hour this morning. These are the
characters in the society play that will
reach a climax during the voyage:
Groom-A Honolulu boy.
Bride-A beautiful girl from the
Eastern side of the Mainland.
Mama-Does not know there has
been a wedding.
Old Fiance of Bride-Does not know
there has been a wedding.
Brother of old fiance of bride-Does
not know there has been wedding.
The ceremony was performed in this
city al ~ oclock yesterday morning.
IL. {. \. (Ber) peterson was lnr
groom ana Mas Mary Agnes Whlte,
Worcester, Mass, was the bride The
wedding was s.r.ctly private. one oil
the witnesses was called from neigh
boring residence by tine officiating
clergyman.
Mrs. l.. q. Waite and daughter, Mary
Agnes White, are Travellers OF ample
means. They are reputed TO be very
wealthy. During their visit to the
Islands they have enjoyed the best
that money could secure for them.
Mrs. White and her daughter are q
most charming couple. The mother is
attractive and yivacious and the young
lady is lovely and accomplished. The
bride Is twenty-five years of age, but
does not look 1t, while the mother does
not show age at all.
Bert" Peterson, the broker, is per-
haps the most prominent in every way
of the young men about town here. He
was born in Hawaii, is nearing the
thirtieth year and of late has been ex-
tremely successful in operating in
sugar stocks. II Is believed that he
has cleared up no less than $35 900
since the opening Of the year and he
had some valuable property before the
activity in securities came on. Mr.
Peterson was educated in the schools
OF the country and has been abroad
but couple OF times. He at one time
held an important position in the Gus
tom house.
Mary Agnes White and her mother
arrived here on the oath day OF last
month. The young lady and Mr.. Pet
erson soon met and were together
much, though usually under the watch
ful eyes of mama, who Is said TO have
given hotel friends to understand that
an excellent match had been made for
the girl. Bert" carried the battle
ments of Castle of Love by strategy,
but Mrs. White was kept in blissful
ignorance of the engagement. 1t seems
more than likely that she must learn
of the marriage before the steamer
reaches San Francisco. Mrs. White
rather liked Bert but, 1t Is declared,
was loyal to the reputed accepted suit
or for the hand OF her daughter.
The steamer of the 18th of this
month brought to the city two quiet
and well-dressed men. The tall ore,
who suffered, was pointed out as the
individual who was to make Miss
White a wife and 1t was stated that
the pair were men OF wealth and of
the highest social standing.
The situation aboard the Ameri,a
Maru during the long hours OF last
evening was delicate one. Mr. Peter
sons town friends were offering their
congratulations to the young man. The
bride was in the company of her moth.
err most of the time, but did some
promenading with the old lover. An
explosion was feared, but there had |
been no developments up to the time |
all had retired.
Mr.. Peterson said thAf he would re-
turn TO Honolulu in a few weeks and |
confided to his intimates that he in
tended to bring Mrs. Peterson back |
with him. Bert" carried away a big
pile of Hawaiian sugar stocks and in
tends to do some business on the coast.
