AN HAWAIIAN ROMANCE
Miss Helen White Said t.
Have Been Secretly
Married.

The announcement of the marriage Of
Miss Helen White, daughter of Maj.
Lewis G. White of this city, and +. c.
Austin Peterson of Honolulu, appeared
recently in the Honolulu Advertiser
From the account published in Homo
lulu, it would appear that the marriage
was without the knowledge or consent
of the young woman's mother, who was
with her in her tour to the Pacific is
lands, and she only discovered
it after they had returned to San
Francisco.
The young man is we'll known in
Honolulu, where he has been quite a
figure in it's cosmopolitan society There
he is known as Prince" Peterson. 1t
seems to have been love at first sight
with him, and after securing an intro
duction to the young woman, he was
much in her company during the Say
Of the Whites in the Pacific capital.
Shortly before they were to depart
for San Francisco, on their homeward
journey, so the story goes, prince"
Peterson proposed and was accepted.
so far as the heart of the young woman
was concerned, but the mother object
ed to the Sandwich island young mar
as a son-in-law, and would not listen
to his plea. But this did not phase him
in the least. He proposed a secret mar
riage, which is said to have been agree
able to the young woman. And so they
were married the day before the ship
was to sail for San Francisco.
prince" Peterson took passage OH
the same ship, and sailed with them to
the Pacific coast. There Mrs. Whit
was informed of the secret marriage
What took place then, the gentle reader
must surmise, but it is safe TO say
there was a scene, for there always is
at such a climax in the novel or on
the stage, when true love gets off its
trolley.
According to the San Francisco paper,
which also published a story of the ro-
nance. a reconciliation was brought
about. which is quite probable, for a
romance without a reconciliation in it
would not be according to Hoyle. The
mother said BLESS you, my children,
and all that sort of thing, and then 1t
was agreed that the couple should sep
arate until November, when the young
man would come to Worcester and take
his b1lde to the Pearl of the Pacific.
And then they did separate, and two
souls with but single thought were
rudely torn asunder and two hearts that
should beat as one now palpitate as II.
The young man is sailing Ger the deep
blue sea toward Honolulu, and the
young woman is speeding toward her
home in this city, needing neither time
nor the mile posts as they fly rapidly
by.
Unless Major White is in a different
frame of mind on the ides of next No
vember. from what he was yesterday,
when he heard of the affair, it would
be Just as we'll for prince" Peterson
not to come on to claim his bride. From
appearances yesterday, it would seem to
be the part Of discretion for Prince"
Peterson to keep right on sailing out
into the west, "out into the west as the
sun went down." as the song has it, and
there lose himself.
II he should come on here md find
the major in the same spirit as yester-
day, wher he was approached by re-

It ranges in small bands, is fierce and alert, and though no authentic cases are reported of it's attacking man, yet it might, on occa- sion, devour children if they came in its way.

Its flesh is delicate and savory, as also is that of the armadillo which is mercilessly hunted for the table; but neither can surpass the tall meat of the iguana, which, if 1t were not for it's resem- blance to the alligator. would be held in greater esteem. The iguana was early introduced to the Spaniards as an article of diet, and some of the rare specimens of book engravings show the iguana being "boucanned," or roasted, over fire in the most approved all fresco .-Correspondence of The Providence Journal.

"Burmah" His Topic at the Church of
 the Messiah Last Evening.
 At the Church of the Messiah last evening an interested audience listened to ex-Mayor Sargent's lecture on Bur nah" The speaker was eminently fit- ted to discourse upon the subject, hav- ing on his recent tour of the world spent considerable time in that country, and his lecture last evening was most interesting.
 The lecture was illustrated by a co., lection of lantern views of the wonder full temples and sights of Burmah made from photographs obtained by MT. Sargent himself. He spoke of Bur- nah as q country five times the area of New England, with tropical eli mate and a luXuriant vegetation. The fertility of the soil is due in a great n16 2sure to the overfowing of the coun- tl y by the rivers for about four months cf the year, on the receding of which the fertilizer washed from the high lands and other places reached by the waters is left on the soil in a layer about three inches deep, on which the natives immediately SOW their rice. The Burmese religion greatly resembles Christianity and the rituals are nearly the same as those of the Catholic religion. The temples of Burmah are
