for the second time the bride Of James

Behind the wedding is a touching TO-
nance marking the strange reunion OF a
couple who were divorced about ten years
ago Mr.. Brown is eighty-four years old

and lived happily together for number OF
years. Mr.. Brown was a widOweT at the

arose between them, and these grew TO be
so serious that divorce was secured At
this time the couple lived at WoodberTy-
After the divorce Mrs. Brown went to New
York TO live, and Mr. Brown spent several
years in Texas, returning to Woodberry a
few years ago.
Several months ago Mr. Brown became
ILL., and the yearning for the forgiveness Of
his wife, which he had felt for a long time,
became stronger and stronger. He wished,
he said. that he might again call her his
wife before he died, and finally communi-

has not been taxed. This company
made deal with the monarchy during

the consideration of having no harbor

by annexation. il was decided that the
Oceanic should pay charges just as
other companies do, since June II. 1900
when all mail contracts came under

for completing the ootfall sewer. the

The Oahu Railway and Land Com
pany was under discussion because OF
the obstruction to general traffic by
the construction OF its new wharf.
The plans and specifications were
looked into, but as they have never
received official sanction it was thought
best that the matter be deferred in the
absence of instructions from Washing
ton. However. the company will be
required to keep the road from the
cattle pens to Iwilei free from obstruc-
ton.
The request of the Hilo railroad for
all the dead timber on each side of

grades of streets in kewalo and IA

stands the streets in these districts
cannot be accepted until they are
raised to the proper level. The pre-
royative of the executive is limited to
backing up the board of health, in re-
fusing building permits in that section
until the premises are elevated to the
right grade.
