Mrs. Campbell returned to the Occi-
dental hotel here yesterday with her
daughters and it is barely possible that
they will leave on the Alameda, TO
spend Christmas in Hawaii. They ar"
not booked yet and It is improbable
that they will take ship so soon now
that Prince David Sam Parker and
other friends have come here. David
has a new wrinkle in signing his name.
Usually he writes 1t David kawanana-
koa. But on the register of the Occi-
dental the nobleman set 1t down plain
/ Kawananakoa yesterday. He also reg.
/ istered his valet. 1t will be remembered
that the Prince of Wales signs only
WALES" so that Prince David has am
pie precedent. Doubtless now that Da-
vid and Miss Abbie Campbell are under
the same roof. the rumors Of their be-
ing engaged to marry will again engage
wings. The Examiner had a page to
prove this about seven months ago. but
at the time, David denied 1t. However
| have been assured by an intimate
friend of the Campbell family that If
Prince David is not heart whole and
fancy free, Miss Campbell is the one
who has shared his affections.
Miss Abbe Campbell has been much
admired here and in San Jose and offers
for her hand are not wanting. Probably

heiress prompts some sordid chaps.
though the personal charms of the
beautiful young woman are all suffi-
cient.
Judge George Gear and George Da-
/, Wis, the attorney are at the California
hotel. They are good company for each
, other and are having a warm time in
. this wicked city.
