SPANISH COURTSHIPS

In Spain the cOurtship begins with
gifts Of flowers, and the wedding ends
with shower of blossoms on the cou-
pie, who pass into floral bower on the
roof of The new home The suitor be-
gins his courtship by asking for a
gOurd of water at the home where the
object of his affections lives. If this
request is granted he may persist in
his attentions, but if it is denied the
matter ends there. Later the man
calls again, accompanied by musicians
ana torch bearers, and while the man
dOlin players strum their instruments
the lovers companion makes his ad-
Vances. Any time during the cOurtship
the sutton may be rejected by the gift
of a pumpkin. Three times he must
make formal suit for wife, as his re-
Guest cannot be granted at first. But
If her father refuses the third time
he may consult a magistrate, who de-
mands that the daughter be produced
CT that her father gives his consent to
the marriaEe-provided he is an honor
able man. He can then carry off his
bride. But this emergency does not
often arise.
No maiden can witness the marriage
of an Italian woman, no matter how
intimate she has been as a friend, but
matrons accompany her to the church.
Neither can a girl enter the house of
Eer lover; and so emphatic is this rule
that it is considered necessary for a
woman to pass by the house of her
lover in such a public way that all
can be satisfied that she does not en-
ter it. The lover gives presents ac-
cOrding to the seasOn-cake at Easter,
losebuds at the feast of St. Marks and
almond paste at Christmas. In addi-
ton to bonbons and confectionery the
groom sends the future bride all the
iewelry he can afford, especially finger
rings Sunday is the only lucky day in
the week FOR wedding, as all others
nave some ominOus meaning. If the
wedding is on Monday insanity is
threatened; Thursday is witches day:
a Tuesday wedding will bring great
suffering, etc. In Venice the bride
groom must furnish the gOndOlas for
the marriage procession, four candles
for the mass and plenty of coppers for
the swarming beggars.

bankers here are again agitating the
advisability Of not receiving Hawaiian
coin.
zone bank here has deposited in its
vaults about two hundred thousand
dollars C2OOOOO silver, about four
nfths of which is Hawaiian, which
they claim cannot be sent to any 9TH
er part of the United States in pay
ment of debts, leaving only about one
fifth American silver available for
that purpose.
while there is no threat made that
they viii refuse Hawaiian silver, there
is a hint given that they may do So
in which case this office would have to
do the same.
About the first OF each month a
great proportion Of this coin is shipped
to the various plantations to pay off
employees, but by the middle OF the
month it finds it's way back to Homo
lulu again, considerable of it through
the post Office and is soon piled up in
the banks as before.
Il submit the above facts i'm order
that the department may be aware of
the conditions that exist here, and per-
haps take some immediate action be-
fore it is taken up here with perhaps
serious results to the community. Re
specially, JOS. NJ. DAT,

THE COINAGE BILL.
Congress Fails To Pass Silver Re
Coinage Act.

The bill to recon Hawaiian silver
was defeated in Congress on June 16.
1t was opposed by Representative
Gaines of Tennessee, on the ground
that the question of dispOsing of the
Kalakaua coins would solve itself,
many of the coins being taken away
by tourists. The vote on the bill was
Z; to 80 in favor of passage, but as the
matter had been brought up under sus-
pension of the rules a two-thirds ma
jority was needed, and the bill there
fore failed to pass.
During the discussion the following
letter from Postmaster j. NJ. Dat of
Honolulu was read in the House, by
Representative Hill of Connecticut:
Sir: With reference to my letter of
November 18th last in re Hawaiian
silver coin, would again call your at
