Tonpa's ROYAL Wedding.

On the LIST of June, 1899, a new page was
added to the history OF the Tongan, or
Friendly Islands, when George Tubou
II. not only dared to defy the opposition
OF his chiefs by marrying the choice OF
his heart, but elevated her to his own
rank. After the marriage ceremony, as
his bride knelt down before him, the
King, placing the bright new golden
crown upon her head, said in clear
voice, "Lavina, / crown thee Queen OF
Tonga"
George Tubou III. is a handsome man,
being six feet three inches in height, and
turning the scales at three hundred
pounds. In complexion he resembles the
Mexicans (Tongans are lighter than
Hawaiians), with most gentle express
sion in his beautiful brown eyes. He was
educated in New Zealand, and speaks
English in soft, well.modulated voice.
In looks and bearing he is every inch a
king, and as he stood by the throne
chair in his own splendid chapel await
ing the arrival OF his bride, dressed in
full uniform, his breast adorned with
glittering decorations, his crimson robe,
ermine-trimmed, upheld by two little
boys of high rank attired in page suits
of red and white velvet 1.-THE Tongan ma
tional colors), one could not realize that
all this was happening on an island be-
longing to group which many readers
have supposed to be still lingering in
heathenism and beyond the pale of civil
ization.
Quite a hutter of excitement passed
over the assembled guests as Lavina
entered the church, leaning upon the arm
OF her father, Kubu, Minister OF Police.
She was exquisitely attired in white
satin trimmed profusely with Honiton
lace, and from her shoulders fell the train,
composed Of silver and white heavy bro
cade, fully FIVE yards in length, which
was held by her six trademarks dressed
in white silk. The BRIDES trousseau was

Precautions for Safe Navigation.

The admission made by Captain Wat
kins of the Paris that he is responsible
for the accident to that skip through
what we must call gross error in calcu-
lation-iot it is one for which no excuse
is possible-must add to the terrors Of
ocean travel. Captain Watkins is a man
whose career has been entirely honorable
and unusually successful. If such man
as he, through moment OF inadver-
tance, or in one of those sudden and tenn
porary paralysis which mysteriously
affect the minds of most men, has made
such slip, it is clear that the system
which leaves to one mind the fate OF
ships and lives is bad one. IL Captain
Watkins calculation had been verified
by another or if another, to take Mr.
Hysops proposition, had made the cal
culation and Captain Watkins had veri.
fed it, the accident to the Paris would
not have happened. The fact that Cap
tain Watkins career is over will OF course
make other captains more yigilant, but
dependence upon one mind in this sort OF
thing is absolutely unsafe. No man can
tell when his mental energies, usually
keen though they may be, are going. to
stop working for a moment; and that
moment may be the most important in
that minds istory.-Harper's Weekly.

The Danger of Great Guns to the
Nervous System.

Since the Santiago campaign" said
DR.. Charles Jameson, an ear specialist OF
Philadelphia, II have been consulted by
no less than five naval officers who were
suffering from the effects of the terrific
conclusion of the big guns on the war
ships. To be sure, one sent another, but
the fact that so many came to my office
alone show how general the trouble
must have been. In no case did l find
any actual lesion in the organs OF hear
ing, but all my patients exhibited symp-
toms of great nervous shock. They had
had frightful shaking up, to put the
matter roughly, and it will be months,
perhaps years, before they fully recover.
Four OF the officers whom treated had
been in the "hoods" as they are called, of
turrets, while the largest guns were being
fired. The effect in that confined space
must be something awful. When the
gun goes off, they tell me, the men in the
turret feel as if they had received a
violent blow in the chest. and for few
seconds it is impossible to breathe.
Some years ago l was called in consulta-
ton to see Capt. McGiffen, an American,
who had commanded the Chinese ship,
the Chienyuen, in the battle at Yalu
river. During the engagement he had
been wounded while standing on the
superstructure, and fell fainting right il
front of one OF the twelve.inch guns
The piece was discharged right over him
and seemed to shatter and disorganizt
every nerve center in his body. When
saw him he was a wreck, without any
special malady, and later on, while he
was under treatment at the Bellevue
Hospital, in New York, he committed
suicide. Twas not in the least surprised
when l heard the news. There is limit
to the joting that the human mechanism

A populous Summer City.

Not far distant from the city of Port
land, on one of the finest beach locations
on the New England coast, is the famed
camp meeting site, Old Orchard, and it
is here that during the summer thous-
ands enjoy themselves. The groves in
which the camp meetings are held are
beautiful and fine abiding places, and
there is never time when things are not
booming The beach frontage is not
surpassed anywhere. The hotels are
models of comfort and convenience. The
great ocean Pier is a source of much de-
light, and the meetings are always pre-.
sided over and attended by persons OF
influence and learning.

A Good Anecdote.

President Dwight and President.elect
Hadley were returning home from the
last annual alumni dinner when they
were caught in the rain. President elect
Hadley had an umbrella with him and
President Dwight did not. Prot. Had
ley, of course, wished the retiring presi.
dent of Yale to protect himself from the
rain by the use OF the umbrella, but
President Dwight declined to rob Prof
Hadley of his umbrella in order that he
himself might ward off the rain. Prof
Hadley, however, insisted that President
Dwight accept the courtesy, and his
arguments became so energetic that
finally President Dwight turned and
said
"See here, Hadley, this ismy reign still
Your reign doesn't commence until to-
morrow"

president of Yale to have his own way

Pyjamas for the Army.

Pyiamas are to be added to the outfit
of the United States soldier, the war de-
partment having just ordered 10000
suits OF them for issue to the troops in
Cuba and Porto Rico. They are to be
gorgeous affairs, made up from madras
cloth of all colors, solid pinks and blues,
red and chocolate brown stripes and
plaids formed of bars of yellow, green
and other rainbow hues. The strap
about the waist is to be tipped off with
a natty silk tassle to harmonic with
the predominating color of each garment.
The adoption for the army of the py-
jamas, which have heretofore formed
part Of the wardrobe of the exclusive
club man, was made upon the recon-
mendation of General Brooke, who is
himself somewhat OF a society swell.
He recently reported to the department
that the men of his command had moth
ing more luxurious to wear at night
than their everyday shirt and drawers,
the army issue not even including pro-
vincial nightshirt. He strongly urged
that pajamas be supplied, and after con-
sidering the matter Secretary Alger ap
proved his suggestion, says the st. Louis
Republic.
General Luddington is now examining
fine assortment of colored garments,
testing them to ascertain which are fast
colors and will stand washing the best.
The tables in his room are covered with
very attractive display of suits, and
as soon as he and colonel Pattern decide
on the proper combination of colors the
manufacturer will be told to 60 ahead
and furnish 10000 pairs. They are dis
tributed as soon as ready to soldiers in
Cuba and Porto Rico, and if their use is
followed by the results which the depart
ment expects will be the case large ad-
ditional number will be purchased for
the men in the Philippines.

near Mrs. Brisbin's. They accordingly
notified Mrs. Brisbin, who followed and
found it foundering about in some
bushes. She threw her apron over it and
seized it firmly with her hands. She
reached the house with it safely, not
withstanding it fought ferociously, and
found to her surprise she had captured
an eagle. The bird is on exhibition at

FROM HAVANA.
VIII Form Rural Mounted POlice-Em-
ploying Many Cubans-Gen. Julio
SanguiIly Offended.

Havana, Jan. 6.-Gen. Ludlow is de-
termined to form rural mounted po-
lice of 500 men and to patrol the
suburbs with Cuban soldiers.
About, 1900 Cubans are now work
ing on the new branch of the railroad
from the government dock to con-
meet with Quemado's camp. Some 500
Cubans are handling quartermaster's
stores at the wharves and elsewhere;
200 Cubans are cleaning the streets,
and 200 more are cleaning the public
buildings.
Gen. Brooke, as soon as the Gus
toms receipts permit it, will employ
more Cubans, thereby hoping to large
ly reduce the number of the restless
class of unemployed indigents.
A drinking place at San Lazaro was
closed last night by the United States
patrol for having sold liquor to Ameri-
can soldiers.
Gen. Julio Sanguilly is offended be-
cause some municipal policemen on
Albesu street failed to salute him.
Sanguilly's aide-de-camp thereupon
raised a disturbance, and a crowd
gathered. but it was easily dispersed
by United States patrol.

NOVEL AND HORRIBLE.
An Ex-Convict Attempts Murder and Sui
eide by Asphyxiation-A Time
ly Rescue.

New York, Jan. 7.-Richard Price,
former convict, yesterday attempted
to murder his mistress and commit
suicide in somewhat novel and hor-
rible way. The woman was Mrs. Han
non, with whom until lately, Price
lived for six years. They separated a
month ago ON account of Prices al
legged cruelty. Thursday night they
met, and Price compelled the woman
to go with him to Bleecker-street
hotel. When she was in bed he gave her
whisky believed to have been drugged.
Then Price turned on the unlighted
gas jet. There was a gas stove in
the room and he also let the gas from
this escape. He showed his trousers
against the door on the floor, SO that
asphyxiation would be sure.
The woman rose from her bed in
terror. Price knocked her down and
held her mouth over the gas stove.
Just before she was overcome by the
gas that poured into her mouth she
screamed loudly A man in a nearby
room heard her. He broke open the
door and prevented the murder of
the woman and suicide of Price. The
woman was unconscious, but will prob
ably recover. Price, whom the gas
had not seriously affected, was ar

GEN. OTIS PROCLAMATION.
The Liberal Policy at the President To.
ward the FIlipInos Outiined In
Moderate Terms.

Manila, Jan. 6.-Maj .-Gen. Otis, mill
tary commander of the United States
forces in the Philippine islands, has
issued proclamation to the Filipinos,
based upon instructions received by
cable from President Mckinley.
The proclamation, which consists of
700 words only, appeared yesterday in
all the papers simultaneously.
Gen. Otis, after reciting briefly Pres
ident McKinley's instructions, ex-
presses it as is his opinion that it
is the intention of the American gov
eminent, while directing affairs gener-
ally, to appoint representative men,
forming the controlling element, to
civil positions. He also expresses him
self as convinced that the United
States government intends to seek the
esta blishment in the islands of a most
liberal government, in which the peo-
pie will be as fully represented as the
maintenance of law and order will
permit, susceptible of development on
lines of increased representation and
the bestowal of increased powers, into
a government as free and independent
as is enjoyed by the most favored prov
inces in the world.
Nothing is said in the proclamation
regarding the disarmament of the
rebels.
Gen. Otis asserted his belief that the
United States government intends, so
far as IS consistent, to draw upon the
Filipinos' military force in making the
civil appointments.
Although the government at Malolos
has been reconstructed, Aguinaldo is
still president of the Filipino repub-
lie.
A dispatch from Malolos says that
a majority of the members of the cab
met belong to the militant wing of the
party. Mabini's address to the con-
gress, however, was more pacific than
had been anticipated. 1t was chiefly
a series of meaningless phrases, out
lining no definite policy.

RECEIPTS MAY REMAIN.
still the People of Santiago Province Are
Not Satisfied-Want Local Prov
inciai Government.

Santiago de Cuba, Jan. Ga dis
patch was received from Havana yester-
day saying that the customs receipts
may remain at Santiago. The effects
of this information are, on the whole,
good, especially so far as the laborers
are concerned, for, prior to the issu-
ance of the concentration order, now
suspended. numerous warrants had
been issued for necessary improve
ments.
Senior Bacardi, the mayor, has as
sured the laborers that all works now
in progress will go on and, therefore,
there is not likely to be any immediate
trouble. But educated Cubans, the
members of the San Carlos club, the
judges of the supreme court, the local
papers and Cuban and foreign mer-
chants here agree that the situation is
substantially unchanged and that any
such project as was originally outlined
simply means taxation without repre-
sentation.
Their argument is that Gen. Brooke,
residing in Havana, will always be an
tagonistic to the interests of the prov
ince of Santiago, and likely to object
to necessary expenditures in this sec
ton.
Prominent Cubans emphatically as
sert thatif a Cuban government should
assume to issue such an order-con-
centrating the customs receipts at Ha-
vana, civil war would break out i'm
mediately. AS it is, however, every
thing is quiet and orderly, in anticipa-
ton of favorable results from Gen.
Leonard Woods representations at
Washington. 1t is hoped that a civil
government may be established in
every province, distinct from the rule
of the governor general, who should
be merely the military chief of the isl
