Cupid.s Work.

Like providence, the mischievous little god, Cupid, works in a mysterious manner; and his love-feathered shafts lind a mark where least expected. But all the same they find Judgement, and the community is surprised at the re suit.
 The work of the little fellow was made evident Tuesday evening when Madame Rumor lone of his aids, stepped to the front and announced the approaching marriage of Mrs. E.C. Hughes, of Linden, to MT. Walter Tay- lor, of this city. None would scarcely credit the news, especially several old widowers who now mourn, but who comfort themselves by the fact that the news has tendency to draw them. selves each to the other in the bonds of sympathy.
 AS the shades of evening came on the rumor was verified by the arrival of the intended bride and groom at the Belser, their intention being to take the Wednesday morning train for Memphis, which they did, and the nn. feeling wires of the telephone brought the news that the parties were made man and wife in the parlors of Gas tons Hotel at 10 o'clock. The happy couple will spend a few days in Memphis and at Raleigh Springs when they will return and take rp their dream of life at Linden. Much disappointment was manifest. s2...hy- tle friends es >.hs aa2t.ac,ioe parties that they could not be prevail. ed upon to have the marriage celebrat. ed at home.
 MT. Walter Taylor, the groom, is the second son of Judge Geo. F. Taylor, is handsome young fellow, full of energy and life, an excellent business man and possesses all the qualities to make him appreciate the good woman he has chosen for life.
 Mrs. E. c. Hughes, the bride, is a woman among thousand, sweet in disposition, amiable, charitable, lovely and withal a woman of rare business qualifications, having for years manag. ed her large landed estate at Linden alone and successfully. She is fully deserving of the gallant lover she has chosen.
 TIE TIMES joins with their many friends in wishing them unalloyed happiness in the life before them, and as each ssun sinks low beneath Lin, den's hills" may they renew theil vows to love and cherish each other as long as life doth last.

Fastest and Host Interesting.

The base bali game played in For rest City last Friday between the Choctaws and the Wynne team was the fastest and most interesting wit messed here this season.
 The visitors were set of courteous, clean ball players and their brilliant work on the field and diamond was greatly enjoyed by the patrons of the game.
 Mir. Lee Block, the courteous man. ager, has succeeded in getting up a strong organization and one which will capture many games for Wynne if they are kept together.
 At the seventh inning an altercation occurred between MT. Frank Chew, of Forrest City, and Mir. Fand, of Wynne. who were spectators, which broke up the game, the score standing 4 to2 in favor of the visitors.
 The Choctaws hope to meet the Wynne team again in the near future and play satisfactory game without interruption.
 The best of feeling exists between the two clubs and their respective man. agers.
 Ed Hamilton umpired the game, and did 1t eonsc;entiously and satisfactor- fly.
 The large crowd of spectators were greatly disappointed because the game was unfinished and regret it exceed ingly.

BRITISH-AMERICAN CABLE

Vancouver, Monday, Nov. 5.-Ac-
cording to advices just received, c..
w. Bellairs, an authority on cable con-
struction, who is at present in Sydney.
Australia, in speaking of the projected
Pacific cable by Great Britain said:
I'VE should not hesitate to link our
cables with the United States cables to
the Far East, and to me 1t seems I'M
wise to do otherwise. The only OBJ
lection ! can see is that II the United
States were at war with another power,
that other power might cut our cable
in Hawaiian waters"
Mr.. Bellairs thought war between
Great Britain and the United States
was simply out OF the question, and
should not be considered as a possible
contingency. He then urged the con-
struction of the Pacific cable as an alb
solute necessity as help to COM
merce.
Mr.. Bellairs gives some interestir 9
statistics regarding cables. The length
of the submarine cables of the world
is 17S,0OO knots, and were built at a
cost OF e50,000,00O. The length Of
government-owned cables Is 10000

The internal affairs OF the Chinese
Court, which have been practically I'M
known to the outer world, more espe-
cially since the coup d'tat" Of 1898,
are gradually altering out owing to
the occupation Of the Picking Palace
by the allies. We Gull the following
story from a japanese Journal, which
gathered It from one Of the eunuchs
who was in attendance on the Emperor
over twenty years.
Since the coup" of 1898 the Emperor
had been confined in a building on a
little island called Ying-tai, surround
ed by lotus lake, and connected with
the shore with a drawbridge. The
Emperor was watched by guards and
attended by a few male attendants.
Food was supplied from outside, but
sometimes His Majesty did not touch
his meal at ALL Every morning the
Emperor was required to pay his res
poets to the Empress-Dowager, going
to her chamber, but he was never al
lowed to interfere in the least with
political affairs. At first he was ILL.,,
but since last year he has improved in
health. Even prior to his confinement
the relations between the Emperor and
the Empress, who is niece Of the
Empress-Dowager, had not been as
they should be.
The Empress. though not exactly
ugly, is not particularly prepossessing
in appearance. Her disposition is
something like that of her illustrious
aunt, with whom she is on most in.
innate terms. In short, the Empress
played the role of a spy for the Dow

Independent Luau
At the Drill Shed

One of the biggest luaus ever seen In
Honolulu was given by the ladies Of the
Independent Home Rule party in the
drill shed yesterday afternoon and
evening. Men and women were at
work throughout the day doing the
cooking and fitting up the hall in true
luau style. Three long tables, capable
of seating over hundred people each,
were arranged at equal intervals along
the length Of the hall SO that people en-
tering could go directly to their seats
without trouble. The walls were dec
GRATED with festoons Of ferns, MALE
and other greens. The company rooms
and the stage were set apart for the
serving OF food.
The doors were opened at 8 o'clock
and from that time up to nearly 8
o'clock, there was a steady stream OF
natives pouring into the place, waiting
for seats. At least four people could
be seen standing behind each chair and
some OF these went away hungry, for
there were those of the natives unklnd
enough to remain seated even after
they had satisfied the inner man. They
were evidently waiting for a renewal
of their appetite In order that they
might be enabled to carry away more
Of the good things set before them.
Never was more orderly crowd seen
at luau. Nothing but soda water was
served and there was not a drop "on
the side" for the more prominent.
There was no fighting and the whole
feast passed of In a most creditable
manner. Good natured char and talk
about the recent victory OF the indie
pendent party, occupied the minds OF
the hundreds present.
Shortly before s o'clock the feast
was declared at an end and then came
the speech making. Robert Wilcox was
received with cheers and his words lis
tened to with rapt attention. The
speech making was short and soon a
hula was announced Hula girls took
their places on the stage and vert
through a most graceful dance. The
people cried for more and got little
more but the people in charge Of the
affair were for having things come to an
end at an early hour and so 1t was not
long before the end was announced
The natives did not go home at once
but remained in the drill shed and on
the grounds outside, talking over thu
recent campaign and indulging in Other
| pleasant topics.
The success Of the luau is due to Mrs
Robert Wilcox mainly. The following
rendered valuable assistance: Mrs
Kuihelani, Mrs. Keaweamahi, Mrs. Hell
UNI, Mrs. Samuel Aki, Mrs. Nakookoo
Mrs. Hattie Hiram, Mrs. Kekaula ant
Others. The money was raised by the
ladies and their friends and the lua,
was intended as God-speed to the
Delegate-elect to Washington, Robert
w. Wilcox.

Biggest Navy Gun
of the World Built

New York, Nov. 1.-TWO naval guns,
the most powerful Of their respective
calibers in the world, will be tested
this week at the Indian Head proving
grounds, says Washington dispatch
to the Herald. One Of these weapons
is twelve inches and the other six
inches in caliber. They are intende |
for the monitors of the Arkansas class
and the battleships, armored cruisers
and protected cruisers under construc-
ton and projected.
Both guns were built in the naval
gun factory In the Washington navy
yard. under plans passed by Rear Ad-
miral O'Neil, chief Of the Bureau Of
Ordnance.
The approximate amount of smoke
less powder required for each charge
OF the l2-inch gun is 400 pounds. The
projectile weighs $50 pounds. Rear Ad-
miral O'Neil estimates that the muzz!e
velocity will reach, II II does not exceed
$500 feet a second and the energy Is
estimated at 1862 foot tons. A shell
fired by this gun will perforate 23.5
inches of harveyized steel and 2O.i
inches of Krupp steel. BY using cap
ped projectiles a still greater thickness
of Krupp armor can be perforated.
The latest 12-inch gun built abroad
has only produced maximum velocity
OF 2600 feet second at its muzzle. The
13-inch gun now aboard the Oregon AMI
other battleships OF her class has a
maximum velocity Of 23OO feet Sec
ond with smokeless powder.

Grim Romance Of China Emperor
Brought Out by Fall Of Picking

ager. and informed the latter Of every
thing about her Imperial Consort. It
Is not surprising under these circum-
stances that the relations between the
Imperial Couple were not very affec-
tionate. There were two ladies-in.
waiting who were favorities of the En-
peror. One Of them, named Chen, was
a clever and courageous woman-quali-
ties which cost her her life.
simultaneously with the confinement
Of the Emperor Lady Chen was also
made prisoner in dark room in one
of the Palace buildings. She was only
given one bowl of rice day, and she
spent two long years in this gloomy
place in sorrow and tears. She lived
only In the hope Of seeing the Emper-
or once more before she died. On the
morning of August 18th, when the
Court quilted Picking for the interior,
the Empress-Dowager ordered Lady
Chen to be dragged out OF her confine-
ment, ana, wrapped In large hempen
bag, she was thrown into one of the
wells.
After the outbreak of hostilities
with foreign Powers the Emperor was
taken out of his confinement and lived
with the Empress-Dowager. The En-
peror often urged his aunt to negotiate
peace with the Powers, but she remain
ed obdurate. The spectacle of the Coui t
leaving Picking in a drizzling rain was
pitiful in the extreme. Even the in
domitable old Empress owager was
seen covering her face with the sleeves
of her garments. her eyes trimming
with tears.-Japan Gazette.
