and San Domingo, married the adven-
turous Betty Bowen, he bought and
fitted up the mansion with a magnif-
cent expenditure, calculated to make
the eyes OF the plain old Dutch burgh-
ers start from their heads. Mistress
Betty had lived, to put it mildly, be-
fore she met and married the young
merchant prince. AS Betty Bowen,
the rustic beauty had broken the heart
and stamped on the pride Of many an
impressionable Massachusetts, beau.
To her was born a child which so
closely resembled George Washington
that for many years was supposed to
be his son. In reality, Major Reuben
Ballou was the father Of Betty Bow
ems child. When the baby was 5
weeks old the future haughy Nine.
Jumel ran away and left him. She
came back several times afterward to
claim her little one, but Freelove Bal
lou, wife Of the major, although well
aware Of the paternity Of the child,
kept 1t and would not let the mother
so much as see 1t.
Betty was gloriously lovely, with
all the capricious, puzzling wayward-
ness Of little child-a fascinating rid
die who charmed Stephen Jumel and
for years after they were wed kept
him wondering what she would do

ties of Napoleonic relics-the dispatch
box Of the little corporal, the trunk he
carried on his campaigns, Josephine's
Jewels and embroideries and bric-a-
brac which had been the property of
Marie Antoinette.
Many Of these valuable souvenirs
are today in the drawing room Of

Angry at
Advertiser
YOUNGSTERS DEPRIVED OF A
FEW NICKELS BY CHEAP NEWS
PAPER SCHEME.

A crowd of little newsboys on Fort
street this morning angrily sought for
copies of the Advertiser free specials
and tore them into shreds. THE young
sters had expected to make a few
cents selling legitimate extra news
papers; hence their indignation at the
free distribution of lot of fly leaf
publications.
The free special" business began
yesterday at about noon, when the
morning paper gathered together all
the news which Star and other extras
up to that time contained, and printed
lit on a piece of paper as a circular For
the rest of the day it issued these at
intervals. containing such news as was
posted ON the window of the cable Of
fee The Star continued the issuance
of extras at such times as news war
ranting it was obtained.
This morning at about s o'clock an
Advertiser man appeared at the corner
of Fort and King, with a handful Of
the free circulars. He was surrounded
tby a bowling crowd of newsboys, and
whenever any Of them could get hold
of a copy they tore it to shreds.
The street sale of the regular Ad
vertiser yesterday morning was com
pletely stopped soon after O'Clock, as
on the day before, by the early issues
of extras of evening papers, hence, APP
parently, came the sudden decision to
flood the town with free circulars. The
latter were gladly received and read
by a large number of people who felt
the strain of paying five cents for real
newspapers.
There is no money in the issuance of
fast following extras by any local
newspaper, except for the newsboys
/ The expenses of printing them very
/ frequently overtop the receipts. 1t is,
however, a matter of newspaper enter
prise, and the lads who rush to and
fro with the papers always make their
profits.
| There are reports of a newsboys
boycott of the Advertiser as a result
of its unusual action. The free extras,
however, are doing considerable SER
vice and are eagerly read and the cost
of printing them is practically moth
ing.

NO DANGER LOCAL
FOOD SHORTAGE
WHAT LOCAL GROCERs AND MAR
KET PEOPLE SAY REGARDING
THE CONDITIONS IN HONOLULU.

With the exception of some fresh
vegetables, fruits, butter and cheese,
and possibly hams and bacon, there is
little danger of these being any food
shortage in Honolulu. Inquiry at the
Metropolitan Meat Market this after
noon elicted the information that there
was absolutely no danger of any short
age of fresh meats.
I'VE have ample supply of fresh meat
on hand said w F. Hebron foreman
of the market. I'VE have a sufficient
quantity of hams to last for several
weeks but in butter and cheese we
are likely to run out by the end of next
week. There need be absolutely no ap-
prehension whatever over any shortage
of fresh meat. We will make every
effort to secure fresh shipments of but
ter from Puget Sound, if it be necessary
We have poultry to last about month.
At Lewis and Company and H. May
and Company, grocers, practically the
same statements relative to food sup
! plies were made.
! The only articles that are likely to
run short are butter, cheese, hams, and
the fresh vegetables and fruits. So
far as other stuff is concerned there is
no danger for months, of any shortage,
F. M Lewis stated that attempts had
been made by Chinese to buy hams in
quantity but he had refused to sell
hams by the crate. We would have
| to use care in disposing of this class
of goods or we would run short. Their

There were a number of people on

would be a delay in the next Oriental

aAN FRANCISCO AGENTS.

Whether the S. S. Mongolia will be
dispatched on time from San Francisco
on April G6 for Honolulu and the ORR
ent is uncertain. The officers of the
America Idaru report that there was
shortage Of "hOat" coal as the coal
usually used by the liners is termed.
There may be therefore difficulty in
giving her coal at San Francisco. Ev-
erything In this respect is conjectural,
however. as is the probable departure
OF the S. S. Sonoma. But 1t is highly
probable that the sonoma did not get
away on time last Thursday as the fire
broke out the day before.
