How You May Raise n Tempest In a
Glass Vessel.
Here is very pretty trick which you
can perform with little trouble and
which is always very effective. You
should tell your friends that you have
been on a visit to Old Man Swinkum
Swankum, the rainmaker, or some
thing of the kind and that he gave you
a jarful of rain. Then bring in q jar
of alcohol, all ready prepared, as ex-
planned below. 1t will interest your
young friends very much, and as they
cannot tell what is in the jar they will
be completely puzzled and delighted,
too, by the little bottled piece of a
rainstorm before their very eyes.
Pour a quart of alcohol into a two
quart glass jar, cover the jar with a

did, thinking 1t proper that the baron

Soon after her return Barbara met
Lieut.. Benton at one of the houses fac
Ing the capitol over which soon was to
float the Confederate flag. Already
there were mutterings of the great
struggle to come. Benton was a North
ern man, and both knew that this
would be an additional reason why Mrs.
Richie would never consent to their
marriage.
Barbara told her lover Of the contract

half abroad.

~ manor house that was built In

widow, Mrs. Margaret Richie, who had
two twin daughters, Barbara and Eliza

Mrs. Richie was very wealthy and
very ambitious. She took her daughters
to Europe with view to their marry

A German baron proposed for Bar
bara and was accepted by the mother,
who did not consult her daughter In the
matter, intending. If necessary, to en-

They picked up Lee and beat their way

LIEUTENANT ROBERT pEARY FAMILY AND THE SHIP "NpWARp a1a


family were there, demanded to see bis
wife.
Mrs. Richie came into the drawing
room and received him with naughty
manner by no means softened by the
fact that he was an invader of her State
and her plantation. She told him that
Barbara was Ill and that she did not
wish to see him. When the war ended
she would apply for an annulment OF
the marriage. Benton fatty refused to
believe the statement. Since he was
with an army, Mrs. Richie could not
have him rejected. She therefore resort
ed to strategy.
IF my daughter comes into this room
and confirms what have said, will you
believe herr"
Il WILL"
Half an hour later young girl stood
upon the threshold, pale apparently
with Illness. Benton seeing what app
peared to be the shadow of his wife
stepped forward. The girl motioned
him back.
Theodore" she said, 81 did wrong In
marrying you without my mothers con-
sent. Go away. l wish never to sec
you again."
Benton staggered from the house,
mounted his horse and rode away.
Two years later Grant laid a pontoon
bridge across the James, advanced to
Petersburg and besieged the place.
During the passage of the Union troops
across the river an officer rode up to
the Richie plantation, and without dis
mounting handed a negro note adj
dressed to Mrs. Theodore Benton. 1t
read:
Are you of the same mind as In the
summer Of 1862? If so, will go away,
and when you wish an annulment of
our marriage l will not oppose it.
THEODORE"
In few moments Barbara appeared
at the door, and between hysterlcal
tears and laughter held out her arms.
Benton sprang from his horse to her
embrace
The first piece of news the husband
received was that Mrs. Ritchie had
died; the second was an explanation Of
the remuneration which had occurred
when Benton had been there before.
Mrs. Richie was a woman who, when
her mind was made up, would stop at
no means which she regarded legiti.
mate to accomplish her object. She con-
sidered that her daughter had been
stolen from her. Therefore she had a
right to repossess herself of her own
property. She would not lie. She had
asked Benton, 'If my daughter comes
into this room and confirms what
have said, will you believe her?" Then
she ordered Elizabeth to personate her
sister. Elizabeth without strength Of
character to resist her mother, had
done as she was told. Barbara, on the
arrival of her husband, had been locked
in her room and had not known of the
outrage that had been committed untis
after her mothers death, when her SIS
ter confessed and begged forgiveness.
Barbara, when she learned how she
had been misrepresented to her hus-
band, was in agony. She had resolved
to go north In search of him when the
Union troops appeared.
Benton sent a note to his command
ing officer announcing that he had
found a loving wife, and asking that a
leave be granted. 1t was given, and
that night the wedding was celebrated,
not by the attendance of the neighbor-
ing planters, but by the rejoicings Of
the negroes for whom with their new
master the day Of jubilee had at last

ROOSEVELT TOLD OF
THE REPUBLICAN
VICTORY
NEWS OF THE ELECTION SENT TO
HIM OFFICIALLY BY GOV. DOLE
BY THE ALAMEDA THIS AFTER
NOON.

The departure of the S. s. Alameda
today was of special significance. The
vessel will be the first boat to take the
news of the splendid Republican vic
tory to the mainland. In spite of the
universal interest of the crowds over
the results of the voting on the other
Islands, the Oceanic wharf was crowd
ed with many people to see the vessel
depart.
The news of Prince Kuhio's victory
will be widely known as soon as the
Alameda arrives at San Francisco next
Tuesday. 1t is understood that the re-
suit of the election was sent officially
to President Roosevelt by Gov. Dole
But the President will not be the on
ly public character to receive notice of
the election. B. G.. Holt, who has known
Z. S. Senator Foster of Washington
for many years, sent a special dispatch
acquainting him with the news. Sem
atOr Foster has been interested in Ha-
waiian affairs for years and the result
of the election will be especially inter-
esting to him.
Samuel Parker, the Republican ma
tiOnal cOmmitte%S1an, sent the election
news to the National Republican head
quarters, while w. II. CornWen, the
Democratic national committeeman,
performed a similar task to his COM
mttee.
The band was in attendance. AL
though the crowd that departed was
much smaller, than the Alameda has
carried from Honolulu in long time,
all of the passengers seemed to be very
popular if the presence of leis in pro-
fusion could be taken as a criterion.

The BETTING FEATURE
OF YESTERDAYS
ELECTION
GOOD MANY REPUBLICANS BET
ON WILCOX AND LOST THEIR
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND GEAR
AMONG THEM.

Betting on the election in Honolulu
was not heavy, but there were few
bets placed. A number of citizens
made wagers of hats, but the tDIal
amount of cash put up would not make
a very large sum. j. S. Splitter, the
clothier, iB credited with having been
one of the gamest betters on the Home
Rule side. His confidence in the cleo
ton of Wilcox Is reported to have cost
him over $3.50.
A V. Gear is another reported loser
on the Home Rule candidate. Gear
had in the neighborhood of 5000 up as
wager that the Home Rule man would
go to Congress again, and he is con-
sequently in mourning today. Billy
Cornwell is in the same class.
EX-Judge Humphreys lost $l5 Pa
mama hat. He made a wager with
Clinton j. Hutchins that Wilcox would
beat Cupid, and Hutchins has the hat.
q Col. Mccarthy chances were the sub
ject of a number of wagers. The col
onel himself bet a small amount in hats
and haberdashery. One bet against
him of S25 against 81, 500 in stocks was
reported, but the coloners friends had
a good deal of confidence in his popular
ity and were not frightened by the bet
On election day Cupid money was n
evidence everywhere, and If there had
been any Wilcox coin az hand yesterday
many big bets would have been placed.
One party of ~ampaigr ers were ready
to put up a thousand dollars on Cupid.
but could find no takers. The result
was that Cupid money was offered at
odds, and at four to one no takers
were found.
One bet on Wilcox was made last
night after the returns from Oahu were
practically complete and it was known
that Cupid had nearly a thousand ma
jority on this island. This was at $40
to $50 with Cupid on the long end. The
man who put up the $40 figured that the
other islands might reverse matters, as
they did two years ago, after the Oahu
returns came in, and that the chance
of getting $50 was worth the ten dol
lars.
Bert Peterson is reported to have Pa
mama hats in large numbers as a result
of the Cupid victory, and he raked in a
goodly pile of gold as well. Charlie
Chillingworth is another man who call
ed the turn and has his friends on the
run.
Ozawa made $50 betting against Mon
Wan the Chinese candidate. He did
not bet that Mon War would not ne
elected for he regarded that as cer-
tain but he bet that the Chinese would
not get a thousand votes and Ming
Mon War stopped at 67S.
