An Attempt to Trace Origin.
London, July 30.-Some of the ev-
ening papers here attempt to trace
connection between the assassination
of King Humbert and the rancorous
propaganda that the vatican is alleged
to have conducted against the su-
premacy of the sovereign. These
journals point out that the assassina-
tion occurred in the vicinity Of Milan,
where its alleged the recent insurrec-
tion was largely formented by Roman
curia.

Nashville, Ills. July 80. - After a
flight OF more than 300 miles and three
unsuccessful attempts TO get married,
Charles Calder and Miss Ida Marston,
q young couple from the Blue Grass
region OF Kentucky, were separated
by the irate father of the would be
bride Saturday and returned to their
homes still loyal lovers. The couple
alighted from q Louisville and Nash
vile train Saturday morning and ap-
piled at the county clerks office for a
marriage license. They gave their ages
as 21 and Is, respectively, and their
homes as Todd county, Ky. 4 short
time before their arrival the county
sheriff received a telegram to appre
hend an eloping couple answering their
description, and on. the strength of
this the clerk refused to grant the IL
cense.
Old Man Hot ON the Trail.
Not not discouraged by the failure,
the young man engaged a carriage
and. evading the watch OF the officials,
started for Pinckneyyille, twenty-five
miles south. Within an hour after
they departed Marston, senior, arrived
in this city hot on the trail of the fugi
tives. He stated that they had left
Todd county Friday night. and he had
followed within two hours after they
had departed. He said his daughter
was but IL, and should never marry
Calder. He hired a rig and started
after the couple. They reached Pinck-
NEVILLE an hour ahead of the pur-
suers, and but for a telegram sent to
the county clerk of Perry county the
couple would have secured Il license
and been married before they could
have been apprehended.
End of the First Chapter.
Disappointed. but hopeful, the couple
boarded north-bound Illinois Central
train on the st. Louis branch of the
road and rode as far as COulterville.
There they changed to the Illinois
Southern and again came to this city,
leaving the father far in their wake.
The couple lOitered through the court
house and found the deputy clerk on
duty and not the least bit discon-
certed by their first failure, they again
applied for Il license. The deputy was
suspicious, however, and during the
conversation the sheriff recognized
them and Informed chem they were
in his care until the parent of the girl
arrived, and took her home.

bone, recently director general of posts

charges were filed, enc based on each
OF the two $500 warrants alleged to
have been converted TO his personal
use and no vouchers furnished: the
third. on the allegation that he paid

1t would undoubtedly be good poll
tics for the republicans to hold their
Territorial convention at Hilo. The
first convention of the party ever held
in Hawaii was held in Honolulu. Hilo
being the second city in size in the
Territory and located on the largest
Island of the group, the holding Of the
second convention in that city would
undoubtedly result in much good. 1t

RErERREp TO HIGH SHERIFF

A correspondent Of The Republican
SAYS: How is it that things are SO
xretehedIy bad in kakaako in the way
OF disorder and drunkenness that Judge
Wilcox must speak OF it from the bench
and suggest additional police pFo.ec-
ton down that way? / might ask you,
Mr.. Editor. IL il is true that there are
three large swipe' factories in that sec
ton. with a captain OF police living
not % feet away and an ordinary po-
llceman only across the street? Is 1t
true. too. that a woman is selling bot
tied gin down there constantly. in q
building into which q member OF the
police force could throw water from
the side window OF his own home7
II these things are true, DO you wonder
that there is much drunkenness and
great disorder, with many ARRAYS, down
there, especially on Sundays, when the
population is more idle than usual: i
am told, too, that 'swipes' sell for 80
cents gallon and that the factories
can now scarcely supply the demand OF
the Island?"
Our correspondent is an intelligent
and observant man. He probably
knows whereof he speaks We cannot
confirm his statements, save as 10 the
drunkenness and disorder down there
and the fact that Judge Wilcox was so
shocked with the condition OF things
that he did deliver very proper lee
Iure thereon.
