MACFARLANE
JUBILEE
Silver Wedding Held at
Waikiki Last
Night.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Frederick W. Macfarlane and his
bride received the congratulations of
a numerous assemblage at Waikiki on
the occasion of their wedding, and last
evenings celebration of the silver jubi-
lee of that event seemed almost re-
newal of the scenes enacted quarter
of century before.
AS in the former years, the same
bride and groom stood beneath u
| canopy of white tulle, sprayed with
tinsel and MALE, the chandelier also
being respondent in its decorations.
Many of the guests who passed the
receiving line were among the brilliant
assemblage that paid it's homage at the
wedding so long ago. In the line last
night the wedding guests We're some
what grayer, but the memories of the
former event made them in appearance
as young as the youngest of the new
guests hidden to the reception. The
bride and groom seemed not n whit
older than they We're when Father
Herman, later the Bishop of Olba,
made them man and wife.
Following the reception the assem-
blage spread out upon the lawn border
ed only by the surging sea and covered
with nodding palms and cocoanuts,
while from an arbor composed of the
spreading limbs of a kou tree the
music of the Government band floated
out and filed the place with melody.
Mr. and Mrs. Macfarlane We're as
sisted in receiving the guests by Mrs.
j. M. Dowsett and Mrs. Freeth. the
1ot haincr hriI a a. hn tya1-
ding. The best man on that occasion
was the Hon. w. G. Irwin, who is now
in California, and the groomsmen were
Messrs. Hervey Whitney and Cecil
Brown.
The guests We're ushered into the re-
ception hall by Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Macfarlane and Mr.. and Mrs. Christian
Conradt.
Upon the lawn of the Macfarlane and
Wilder homes the guests We're given
refreshments, punch being served early
in the evening. 1t was a pretty scene
beneath the cocoanuts and palms,
lighted with multi-colored electric
globes. A more perfect evening could
hardly be wished for. Following the
complimentary concert given by Capt.
Berger and the Hawaiian Government
hand, a Hawaiian quintette sang and
played while the guests danced. There
were many who wooed Terpsichore last
evening who danced at the wedding of
Mr.. and Mrs. Macfarlane twenty-five
years ago.
Early in the evening Mr.. Macfarlane
was surprised to receive a cablegram
from w. G. Irwin conveying his con-
gratulations later on a cable arrived
from the Gear of Russia in which he
stated: Regret can't come; have i'm
portant engagements with distinguished
japanese guests" Another was as fol-
lows: "Whom would you recommend
for Supreme Court Justice? Roose-
velt" King Christian Of Denmark
cabled: TOO much going on at home.
Have seven grandchildren this last
week; have sent Hedemann my proxy
to attend" King Edward said: "Our
heartiest congratulations; have sent
decorations grand cross st. Michael
and st. George care of consul" Grover
Cleveland cabled: Regrets; domestic
affairs keep me at home. P. S. It's
boy" The Rothschilds sent the follow
ing characteristic cable: "Chattel
mortgage on silver wedding gifts will
be accepted temporarily as security for
your overdraft."
The Kaiser telegraphed: Regrets.
Please keep my Consul sober" Alex
Jeff was heard from as follows: "Hals-
boord commensius vladivostok mont,
tadar tons ajax something that will
be understood by those who know the
cable code. Under Kansas City date
line came this: MY busy day. Have
tn,
smash the Supreme Court"
Late in the evening it was discovered
that the cablegrams We're bogus and
that the perpetrators of them were Il.
d. Tenney and E. Faxon Bishop.
The display of gifts was conspicuous.
They We're placed on exhibition in
room which became quite popular dur
ing the evening. There We're many
and costly presents, a large number
bearing the Hawaiian coat-of-arms.
Towards the close of the festivities a
handsome tea service made of tin to
represent silver was presented to Mr..
Macfarlane. The tin tray was stem
ciled: From the Hawaii Promotion
Committee"
The refreshments were the daintiest
