Judge George a. Davis and George

Parker spoke again: Il am pleased
that it has fallen to me to announce
the engagement of Miss Campbell and
Prince David. But for the annexation
of Hawaii to the United States our
friend the Prince in a few years would
have been David the King. While that
has been rendered impossible, it is still
possible for him to render his race and
his country great service. That Miss
Campbell will do much to assist him

way from the islands for this night

guests, led by the prince and his fan
Gee, entered the ballroom. The gowns
were fairy dreams Miss Campbells
was of a pale blue crepe de chine,
sleeveless and with low bodice. Her
throat was encirc1ed by a rope of Gia-
monds and diamonds were in her hair.
1t was a great night socially for San
Jose.
Miss Alice NJ. Carmichael and Miss
Anita Chrystal wore surprising crea-
lions. Miss Chrystal is the boon com
panion of Miss Campbell and goes to
the islands on Saturday next with the
wedding party. 1t is understood that
the marriage will take place soon after
their arrival.
Miss Campbell is the daughter Of the
wealthy widow of James Campbell, the

away. He made study of the culture
of sugar cane, and with the aid OF
King Kalakaua's predecessor did much
to lay the foundation of the island S
present great sugar industry.
He married into a native family and
took great pride in educating his chill
dren and surrounding his family with
all the best money could buy. The eld-
est daughter, who is soon to marry
Prince David, is a strikingly handsome
young woman and clever linguist.
Mr. Campbell figured in a sensational
affair in this city about five years ago.
He was kidnapped and held a prisoner
IN a vacant house in the Richmond
district for about forty-eight hours.
Winthrop, the man who committed this
crime, was sent to San Quentin for life.

EQUAL TO THE OCCASION.

Booker T. Washington tells story in the Galveston News of an old colored preacher who was endeavoring to explain to his congregation how it was that the children of Israel passed over the Red Sea safely, while the Egyptians, who came after them, were drowned. The old man said:
 My brethren, it was this way: When the Isrealites passed over it was early in the morning while 1t was cold and the ice was strong enough so that they went over all right; but when the Egyptians came along it was in the middle of the day, and the sun had thawed the ice so that it gave way under them and they were drowned
 At this a young man in the congrega- tion, who had been away to school and had come home, rose and said:
 T don't see how that explanation can be right, parson. The geography that I've been studying tells us that ice never forms under the equator. and the Red Sea is nearly under the equator
 There, now, said the old preacher. that's all right. I'se been 'spectin' some of you smart Alecks would be ask in jest some such fool question: The time l was tallxin' about was before they had any jogafries or 'quators, either"

THE OGDEN PARTY
 IN KNOXVILLE, TENN.

Knoxville April SO.-Members of the Ogden party were royalty entertained in Knoxville today and tonight.
 The Ogden special reached this city at 1:20 o'clock and was met by a large reception committee, headed by Dr. Charles ". Dabney, president of the University of Tennessee. The entire party was driven to points of interest, concluding their trip at the University of Tennessee. Here an exhibition drill by cadets entertained them for a few min utes; then visits were paid to various buildings on the campus. The formal ex- ercises were held in science hall, which was filled when the visitors arrived. Nine "rahs" were given as the members of the party entered the hall.
 Dr. T. w. Jordan, dean of the univer- sity faculty welcomed the party on be- half of the faculty, among other things saying. We have had advice to burn, and we have burned good deal of it. too It has taken great deal of grace not to burn some of the people who sent it."
 Hugh M. Tate, a senior, welcomed the visitors on behalf of the students, and then Robert c. Ogden was introduced The gentleman stated that he was at the head of a traveling university and had at his command distinguished educators and clergymen who were working for the common cause-education for the people. He begged to be excused from being call ed a philanthropist, for they are always cranks, he said. The hope that every American should hold, he said in conclu- sion. was that through his efforts the next generation might be better.
 w. II. Baldwin of New York was the next speaker. His main theme was the East Tennessee mountaineer, who he said. had been sadly neglected. He felt more aid must be extended them, not in the way the North desired but in the South's way.
 George Foster Peabody and Wallace Butterick were the other speakers of the afternoon.
 Tonight a dinner was tendered the guests at the Woman's building, covers being laid for 19O. and there were many brilliantly gowned ladies in the assem- blaze,
 Hon. Edward T. Sanford officiated as toastmaster. The visitors who responded to toasts were Robert c. Ogden, John G. Brooks of Cambridge, Mass, and Dr. Felix Adler of New York, all the toasts being expressive of the closest fraternai feelings between the North and South and of the duty owed the poor white peo- pie of this section along educational lines
 At Il o'clock the visitors were escorted to their special train and departed for the East

About Birmingham.

''I was agreeably surprised in Birming- ham, for it is a much larger and much more metropolitan city than l expected to find" said MT. F. E. Duffy of New York, who occupies a desk at the Ala bama National Bank temporarily.
 "When I came here a month ago l was impressed at once with the city's metro poHtan air. I was familiar with the rep utation of the district as an iron producer, but I had seen the census returns of 1900 which gave the population at 3S,415 It did not take me long to learn that Birm- ingham's population, I mean the Greater Bir1ningham's population, is over 100000 Large capital is not kept away from this city because of the small census showing because the men who have hundreds of thousands to invest, take time to inveS- tigate; besides. they have either been here or have full information about the district. But there are many desirable men of moderate capital and many me- chanics who would come here and settle if they only knew what the Greater Birm- inghams population was. It seems to me that if persistent effort would be made by the business men to annex all the out lying territory that naturally belongs to the city, it would certainly pay"
