The bank statement yesterday was of
a character wholly unexpected. Early in
the week. 1t was believed that the figures
would be very bad. owing to losses in
cash. Later it was said that perhaps 1t
would not be very bad, as loans were be-
ing cut. But no one looked for the large
increase in surplus that occurred. The
insiders are probably responsible for the
character of the statement, and this sug-
gests forciby that they are again will

higher prices this week The figures of
the statement were as follows:

 Large sums received by many of theSe universities and colleges are derived from the proceeds of the sales of the public lands given by Congress to the so- called aand grand agricultural coi- leges.

Pretty Wedding of Progressive
Young Couple Last
Night.

Kawaiahao Seminary was the scene,
last evening, of a ceremony which was
both unusual and interesting. The affair
was the wedding of Miss Alice Kong
and Seraph E. Chang, both of the con-
tracing parties being of I-.nese extrac-
ton
AT O'Clock the Rev Mr. Thwing read
portions OF the Episcopalian marriage
service in English and ,ne golden token
having been adjusted, pronounced the
couple man and wife.
The wedding took place in the parlor
of the seminary, which was tastefully
decorated with creepers and cut flowers.
Miss Paulding, the principal of the insti-
tuition. gave the bride away. En- Sui

The bride, who Is a strikingly hand
some girls was dressed in white and car
ried bouquet of white flowers. The
bridegroom was attired in conventional
black. Both We're cool and collected
throughout the ceremony, and made the
necessary responses in clear, unwavering
tones.
At the close of the service, the minister
made a short prayer and Professor In
gals played the wedding march on a pia-
no while the seventy invited guests, one
by one, rendered their congratulations TO
the happy pair. Refreshments were then
served and Mr.. and Mrs. En- Chang pro-
ceeded to their home at Kalfhi
The welded pair were the recipients of
over one hundred presents, many of the
gifts being beautiful and costly.
Among those present were the mother
and sister of the bride, who had come
up from Kohala for the occasion. 1t is
the exception for a Chinese mother to be
present at the wedding of her daughter,
in fact in China, such thing never oc-
ours.
The young people made their own love
match, which is unusual among the Chi
nese, such affairs being generally ar
ranged by the relatives of the principals.
In this case, however, the interested par
ties are exceedingly progressive young
people and taking matters into their own
hands, followed where love led.
The bride has been residing at the Ka-
waiahao Seminary for upwards of four
years. Previously she was one of the
brightest students of the kohala Semin
airy which place she left TO come to Ho-
nolulu in order TO engage in Kfndergar-
ten work. Recently she has been teach
ing in the Kindergarten of Camp No. 2.
