The Soldiers Ashore.
a large number of soldiers from the
Sheridan We're ashore yesterday and
were about taking a look at Honolulu
Apparently great number of them are
without money, for they were selling
their overcoats and capes and other
articles of clothing for whatever they
would bring. Heavy. coats, in good con-
dition were sold for 81, $780, 50 and So.
Men We're selling rings and knives and
whatever they could spare
1t is long time since such body Of
soldiers passed through Honolulu. The
present lot of men seem just as intent
upon fighting Filipinos as were the first
men who passed through here.
The men of the Twenty sixth infan-
try were recruited principally at New
York and those for the Twenty-seventh
from the Southern and Eastern states.
Rodehaver's Romance,
The genial and accomplished gentle
man in charge Of the commissary de-
partment on board the transport Sher-
idan, Jesse G. Rodehaver, is perhaps
the happiest man aboard the great
ship, in one way, while he is without
doubt the most miserable man, in an
other way.
Just one short week before the Sher-
idan sailed from San Francisco, Rode
haver was united in the bonds of mat
rimony to the woman he has loved
since he and she We're little children.
That is the reason that he is the hap
piest man on the Sheridan today. But
his bride is in San Francisco and Rode
haver is on long journey on the trans
port, and that is the reason that he Is
the most miserable man on the vessel.
! Miss Clara Wilson, a fair daughter
of Arkansas, came all the way to San
Francisco to wed the man of her choice
before he departed on the Sheridan for
a long trip.
| In early childhood the contracting
parties had vowed that some day they
would become man and wife, and after
many years of absence from each other,
Rodehaver found himself in a position
to undertake the solemn duty of enter
ing into life partnership with the girl
into whose ear he had whispered words
of love when they We're playmates years
ago.
The wedding in San Francisco was a
quiet affair and was celebrated at S35
Tenth avenue. at the home of friends
of Me-. Rodehaver, Mr.. and Mrs Hink-
ley.
! There was a distinguished party
present to bear witness to the nuptial
proceedings. Men in high rank in the
United States transport service, an adj
mirars son and his beautiful wife. and
others who have been warm friends OF
the genial groom. Upon the return OF
the Sheridan to San Francisco it is
probable that Mr.. and Mrs. Jesse G.
Rodehaver will make a tour of CaIifor-
MIA.
Zealandia Brings Porto Ricaps.
Yesterday morning the Oceanic
steamship Zealandia, Captain Dowdell,
arrived from Port Angeles, after a trip
of eight and half days, with 765 Porto
Ricans destined for the plantations on
these Islands.
The old steamship experienced some
pretty rough weather on her way to
this port. She sailed from the Coast
on the 18th instant, the same day that
the transport Sheridan sailed from San
Francisco. She lost four of her pas
sengers during the voyage, three OF
whom were buried at sea. The last
death occurred after the vessel had
dropped anchor off this port.
The laborers are pretty fair looking
lot of men, women and children. They
are not nearfy as starved looking and
as poorly clothed as some of the Porto
Ricans who have been brought here.
They are all very contented and are
happy at the prospect of residing in a
country SO mucn ike their own, as lar
as climate is concerned.
Many, Of them were taken to the
other Islands yesterday afternoon on
1.-The steamers Hanalei and Waialeale
and the rest will be taken to their des-
tinations today by the Kinau and the
Claudine and other Island steamers.
The Zealandia is at present at the
channel wharf
! Steamers are Withdrawn.
The steamship line recently connecting
Seattle, Honolulu and San Francisco, has
been discontinued. or at least the small
steamers which were placed on the route
have been withdrawn. The principa
promoter of the line is reported to have
been Frank waterhouse of Seattle, and
the steamers John S. Kimball ant
Charles Nelson were chartered to ply be
tween the ports named. Each made on,
. round trip, but it was found that thu
expenses were far greater than the pros
pective revenue, and now the Kimbal
has gone to Oakland creek to lay up. Th'
steamer Is one of the best of the new
merchant marine fleet on the Coast, ant
