with national interest was the wedding
soIemnized yesterday afternoon at 5
O'Clock of Justice Sidney NJ. Ballou.
recently appointed by the President 10
the Supreme Bench of the Territory OF
Hawaii, and Mrs. Lucia Burnett,
prominent and beautiful society woman
of this city.
Justice BaIlou arrived in the city
Friday from Hawaii to claim his
bride, and the wedding was surprise
10 all the friends and relatives.
The pretty little romance had its in
ception in Hawaii. Mrs. Burnett, with
her brother-in-law and sister, Mr.. and
Mrs Harry c. Turner, and Miss May
Ridgeway. went TO the Hawaiian Is
lands last winter, and, taking house
there, stayed until a few months ago,
and while there the Turner home was
the scene of much festivity among the
American residents. 1t was at that
time that Mr.. Justice BallOu met and
1yooed the beautiful Los Angeles
widow She was the center of gaiety
over there, for with her beauty and
accomplishments as musician she was
in demand at most of the handsome
functions IT'S said to have been
case of love at first sight. But they
kept their secret well, and no one out
side of the party knew of it until they
We're invited yesterday.
Even yesterday little did the guests
suspect that there was TO be a wedding, /
for they had been invited to an in-i
formal tea, at the handsome home of
the brides sister and brother, Mr.. and
Mrs Harry c. Turner, Toberman and
Washington streets. AS they have only
recently returned from Honolulu, 1t !
was only natural they should have !
little family reunion.
Upon arriving, the guests were ush- |
cred into the broad hallway, where the
ceremony took place, Rev. ]. ]. Wilkins /
of St. Paufs Pro-Cathedral officiating. |
Before the great fireplace, filed with |
nodding greens and tall waving palms, |
against which snowy blossoms made
q charming effect, the ceremony was
performed. The soft light from the |
stained-glass window above fell across
the scene, making a lovely picture in
deed.
The bride was beautiful in a, hand
some travelling suit of white broad
cloth. with which she wore a corn
coIored hat, trimmed with a sheath of /
yellow wheat. Her shoes and gloves
matched the hat, and she carried a |
great cluster OF American Beauty |
roses.

The dining room of the Seaside was

Sunday saw the largest crowd ever |
gathered at the Seaside, both during |
the afternoon and evening. The pros
pective arrival of the transport |
Thomas, of course, had much to do |
with this. Manager Church was dis
appointed in being unable to get the |
band because of quarantine regula-
lions. In the latter part of the even t
ing some of the officers and their wives !
danced in the old parlor, one of their |
number playing upon the piano. A |
considerable amount of talk has ap-
parentIy been the result of this, and |
from the liberal individuals stand |
point, one who is willing to live and |
let live, the remarks of a prominent |
officer on the ship are most pertinent: |
IF this narrow-minded, bigoted policy |
is the rule in Honolulu no wonder the /
white people are leaving. The Ninth /
Infantry have been in the Philippines |
for three years, and this is the first |
place that looks like Gods country |
that we have seen. 1t is unfortunate /
that our ship got in on Sunday, but |
as it did why should anyone make
comment because we have a little in
nocent amusement among ourselves?
My officers can drink at bars here all /
day and all night-that is legal--yet If
they dance with wives or sweethearts
among themselves it is regarded as
something awful. Such narrowness Is
worthy of the days of the InquisitionA'

DENIED AN ORDER
FOR COUNTY TAX
Levy Court May Have to Wait
For Money From Diamond
State Steel Company

Judge Edward c. Bradford in the
United States Court to-day declined to
order the receivers Of the Diamond State
Steel Company to pay over TO the county
the amount Of county and poor taxes due
by the defunct concern. and dismissed
the petitions filed by Sylvester d. Town
send, as attorney for the Levy Court,
with costs.
Mr.. Townsend filed petitions for both
Horace G. Rettew former tax collector,
and Robert NJ. Burns. the present col
lector several days ago. The amount owed
10 the county by the steel company is
about $500. Judge Bradford in dismissing
the petitions did so without prejudice and
petitions may again be filed in the case
by Mr.. Townsend.
Many will wonder why the court ord
cred the payment Of the back taxes owed
by the defunct company to the city, and
refused to grant the same order in the
petitions filed for the payment OF county
taxes. The question Of the priority of the
lien OF the city for delinquent taxes. 1t is
pointed out, was different from that Of
the county, and now the county, unless
the court should pass favorable on any
future petitions that may be filed. viii

The jocular story which appeared

the lack of business in police circles,
the patrolmen feared a lay-off, appears
to have caused some agitation. Chief
OF Police Black was asked by several
citizens to-day whether there was any
truth in the story.
Because there is a lull in arrests just
now, there is no telling when trouble
will start afresh, and if there are any
