There many rOmances hidden behind the
prosaic biographies published in the Congress

gress, probably, furnishes a more romantic
story than that of Robert Wilcox, the first Dele

who came Of a good Yankee stock Of seafaring
people, of his trips to the Sandwich
Islands married a native woman. and the pres
ent representative Of those islands in Congress
was the result of that union. Young Wilcox's
early education was received at a missionary
school in Maui. where he became the Intimate
friend and crony OF the natural son of King
Kalakaua, through whose influence he was
sent to Italy TO be educated. So cleverIy was

there accomplished that he became sort OF
protege of the King, was looked upon by society
generally as a wealthy young prince in disguise.
and was taken up and petted and faWEed upon
by fashionable people His career in Italy was
ended when he married the BarOna SObrero the
daughter Of a noble and distinguished family
who turned her back upon her beautiful Italy to
follow the fortunes of her dusky husband. whose
throne she expected to share Disilusionment
followed swiftly upon her arrival in Hawaii
Instead Of a throne at his disposal she found
that her husband was not possessed OF a roof
even to cover her head but was Of the hunblest
origin, poor. disregarded. an adventure whose
audacity and wits were his only capital Heart
broken, the young wife went back to her home,
which she had left only few months before fun
of hope and anticipation.
Later on Wilcox married the Princess Theresa
Owana KaOheleIani. and two children survive
this union. The delegate from Hawaii is a born
agitatOr. Immediately after his return from
Italy he began to take an interest in politics,
and was soon made Premier of the little king
