JIMMY BLAINE
IN HONOLULU

The determination of the second Mrs.

young man, bring into print once more
the story of his escapades in Honolulu,
in terms as follows:
1t was in Hawaii that he got in his
naster-strOke of hilarious deviltry By
reason of his great fathers fame, he
was given regular ovation Every
thing and everybody was at his dispos-
al and he was of a disposing DISPOSE

bride. but not his bride. She was the
wife of a wealthy merchant, NJ Aona,
and Mr.. Aona smote Jimmie" with
such effectiveness that shortly after
ward he was iugged off ANONYMOUSLY,
shouider-straps, gold lace and all. by
four common sailors. who conveyed
him back to the ship.
This was too much for the war office
and so Blaine recalled. He came
back cheerfully and. to the astonish-
ment Of everybody. succeeded in out
doing the dozens of suitors for the hand
Of the imperial belle, Martha HIGH

guessed what the end would be. The
end came no sooner than was expected.

WOULD WED
POPE'S SISTER
r*+*+**+*+4*+44++++++++4

Archbishop Farley will within a few
days receive a message from Rome ask
ing him to perform peculiar personal
service for his sovereign, Pope Plus X.
He will be requested to locate a
wealthy gentleman of this city named
Weber and present to him the pom
tlfs compliments and inform him that
1T is impossible for his proposal for the
hand of the pope's sister to be enter
tanned
The letter is the outcome of a letter
postmarked New York, which arrived
recently at the Vatican. The writer
described himself as a Catholic and a
very wealthy bachelor, and added that
nothing would make him happier than
to marry the pOpes younger sister.
Mindful of the etiquette of sovereigns.
the writer addressed his formal demand
for the lady's hand to the pontiff, to
await his consent before addressing his
proposal to the lady herself.
Maria Sarto, the pope's younger sis
ter, is 60 years of age, and a simple
woman of the peasant class.
Plus Y and the cardinal secretary of
state were at first inclined to consider
the proposal as joke, but a closer ex-
animation of the love missive showed
that it contained so many particulars
and gave such good references con-
corning the writer that it was not pos
sfble to doubt the latter's sincerity and
the religious source of his motives
The matter was discussed at length
by the pope and the cardinal, and it
was agreed that the sending of any di-
rect reply would be out of question.
Besides the pope felt that his sisters
age and the fact that the writer of the
letter had never even seen her would
make serious consideration of the pro-
posed marriage ridiculous in the eyes
of the world.
1t was finally agreed to deal gently
with the infatuated American lover and
to communicate with him Indirectly
through the New York archbishop. Ac-
cordingiy, an official document was
drafted addressed to Mgr Farley.
archbishop of New York requesting
him to look up the writer of the letter
and to inform him that under the cir
cumstances the pope had come to the
conclusion that the proposed marriage
was an impossibility. At the same time
the New York prelate was instructed
to convey to the love-stricken writer
that the pope was rather displeased at
the way the American love-srnitten
had proceeded in the mat
ter, and that it would have been more
in accord with modern social customs
if he had presented himself at the Vati-
can with proper introductions and sub
mltted his proposal personally to the
pope.
Maria Sarto, according to the cable
dispatches, was greatly surprised when
told she had an American sutton She
told the pope she would never marry,
not even an American millionaire.-N.

made OF all the property in Jersey City upon
the ground that II had not been rated at full
value by tho local assessors Charles c. Clark.
OF Jersey City, one OF the two Democratic mem
bers. voted in the negative. The order is the
result Of the appeals filed by the railroads from
their assessments. on the ground that they were
relatively higher than that OF other property.
The specific case upon which the decision was
given was the appeal OF the Central Railroad
directed against Mayor Pagan and the County
Board Of Taxation. Major Carl Lentz. president
of the board. filed an individual opinion giving
his own reasons for voting for the reassessment.
and Il is possible that other members will do
the same
Anticipating tO-day's decision, Jersey City

Of all the property in Hudson County, asserting
that higher percentage of valuation had been
