Romantic End of Well Known Tenn

Miss Jessie Ackerman, the we'll

worker. has won the heart of uistin-
guishCd Russian nUbleman, to whom
sne wall be married as soon as her pre-
sent tour BE- finished. The news of the
eugagement has lust been given out ar
the National w. @. ~. u. headquarters
where the prospective bride has many
friends Miss Ackerman is a CalifOr-

travel, her work being that OF world or

Miss Ackerman's life from a mob Of

/ arouse the greatest curiosity here.
/ Miss Ackerman's romantic engage

newspaper paragraphers, and the lack

I them suggests that her ahianced is a
descendent of the famous OrlOffs: that
his estates at POdunkOvich are very eI-
tensive that until few years ago, he
. was a member OF the Greek church but
1 became converted to the teachings OF
TolstOi; and that judging from her
. ability as a missionary. Miss AckernaU
will no doubt succeed in converting her
husband to her own well known reli-
gious views.
Another one points out that Miss
Murcutt Is not mentioned in the dis
patch so It is possible that she was not
with Miss Ackerman at the time OF the
latter's peril at the hands Of the Rus
sian mob.

MANY TRANSLATIONS.
INTERPRETERS AS EXPERTS ON
CHINESE.
Poon Takes the stand and Tells How
He Was Llbelled-snake and Ele-
phant Explained.

The Chinese consul came into court
this morning dressed in red and violet
and took a seat with Vice-Consul Goo
Kim, remaining all morning to hear
the libel case OF Wong Suey King.
There were Bow Wongs I'm plenty in
court, and expert Interpreters were al
so numerous.
The first witness called was Willie
Crawford. He qualified as an interpre-
ter all right but when It came to
translating the alleged libellous article
he was objected to. Crawford admit
ted that he was not an expert i'm read
ing Chinese characters, and was eX-
Cused.
Lin Shen Chow, formerly employed
in the custom house, was next called.
He said that he had been educated in
Hong Kong, had spent six years study
ing English and had been working as
a translator for over ten years. He
was formerly employed by the British
government in BOrneo to translate
Chinese, and had taught school here.
On this showing Chow was allowed to
make a translation. He took the copy
of Sun Chun KwOck 30, in which the
article appeared, and read it in Eng
lish. His translation was about the
same as that in the complaint.
Ii Chung, the court interpreter came
next. He qualified as an expert and
also read the article through. tt wa g
rather slow work in both cases and
there were many small differences be-
tween the two translations. The court
stenographer looked a bit startled
when the word ing" was pronounced,
but it is supposed to be on the record
somehow .
All Heen took the stand to testify
that the defendant was the manager
of the paper and that it was paper
Of general circulation, and then the
defendant testified. PoOn proved to be
a splendid expert on the languages,
and he was ready for all kinds of Ques-
tions. He said that he was formerly
translator for the Chinese consul at
Washington, and came to Hawaii in
1901, to be translator for the consul
here. The consul offered to appoint
him to look after the Chinese fire
claims, but he at first refused, as he
was a STRANGER here unfamiliar with
the facts. When Lin Shen Chow was
appointed to assist, however, POon took
hold Of the work.
Poon proceeded to read the article

tionarv, and offered to have the wit

the difference and asked which wa!

NOTES OF THE STAGE.
A Gem of the Press Agents Craft
"Audrey" and ssIris."

Frank Wilstach, press agent for the COM
pany presenting the dramatization of Hall
Gaines 1.-The Eternal City," is one of the
most sl<illful literary workmen of the many
Indiana has produced. His brother, Paul,
publicity promoter for Richard Mansfield,
may affect some persons, because of his
classic style, as greater than Frank. but
this column of the theatrical news gives
more admiration to the latter because Of
his singular adroitness and his peculiar
naivete. For instance. the New York critics
have held 1.-THE Eternal City" up to ridlcule
as a noisy melOdrama. convincing their
readers by description Of the details Of
the play, but Mr. wilstach sends out the
following composition, which is published
as being. when considered in the light of
the information given above, one of the
most brilliant examples OF the press agents
craft In the annals:
AN inquiring theatergoer has addressed
a letter TO a New York newspaper asking
the entertaining question: What would
the critics have said had The Eternal
CITY been presented as coming from the
men OF Clyde Fitch or Bronson Howard?'
The occasion for this curious query Is
the fact that the critics. instead OF paying
attention TO the value Of the play and Miss
Viola Aliens fine company. devoted the

bantering had lampooing Hall Game. Con-
