bALLOU'S MARRIAGE
IN CALIFORNIA

|. LOS ANGELES, July 27.--Judge s.
NJ. Ballou, recently appointed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt to the Supreme bench in
the judiciary of Hawaii, was married in
this city today to Mrs. Lucia Burnett,
daughter of the late Thomas B. Bur
nett, vice president and general man
ager of the San Pedro, Los Angeles and
Salt Lake Railroad. The wedding was
complete surprise, even to the invited
guests, who were hidden to attend an
afternoon tea, no mention being made
of the wedding ceremony. Judge Bal
lou arrived in Los Angeles recently
ostensibly to spend his vacation.
The romance had its inception 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 islands last win
ter, and, taking house there, stayed
until 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
Justice Ballou met and won the Los
Angeles widow.
The ceremony was performed at the
home of the brides sister and imme.
diately thereafter, the couple departed
for Santa Barbara and after remaining
there a few days they will proceed to
San Francisco. They viii sail for Ho-
nolulu August j.

MAY BE TOMB
OF old CHIEF

Excavations for an oil tank at the
cred what appears to be either heavy
stone foundation work for some old
time building, such as no history OF
ancient Hawaii speaks of. or some great
tomb, of long ago forgotten chief or
chiefess of ancient Oahu. Or 1t may
be, as some have suggested, the mason
work Of someone's bathing pool. The
uncovered part of the stonework, how
ever, points to something much less
prcsaic than the last hypothesis. Yes
terday afternoon the excavation was
visited by T. G. Thrum and by DR..
Emerson, both of whom showed con-
siderable interest in the find. Today
1t Is expected that other of the local
scientists will inspect the uncovered
ruins and it may be decided to go
ahead and complete the work of exca-
walton in order that the whole of the
masonry may be examined. II this
is done some interesting discoveries
may result.
The excavation now is down to a
depth of about six feet and is nine
teen feet square. About two feet un-
der the surface of the ground the dig
gers came upon a fat platform Of
black ala rocks, cemented together
with the old native cement known as
Palolo dirt, being found in that valley
and resembling fire-clay. This plat
form was dug into and the eXcavating
carried down through the boulders and
dressed stone, until it was unmistak-
ably seen that what the picks were
digging out and what the dynamite
was loosening up was mason work.
In the bottom of the excavation yes
terday one corner of the work had
been laid bare, consisting of a rock
wall about four feet high. Through
this. extending from the Waikiki wall
and running into the bank on the Eva
side, are series of symetrically laid
rocks, the rows faced up to and fitted
to each other and the whole solidly
cemented together Between the walls
the space is filed in with great bould-
erS.
Those who examined the find yester-
day hesitated about haZarding any
guesses as to what it might be. The
appearance of the work suggested to
one of them the legend told of a Mo-
lokai chief, whose remains were plac-
ed in great hole by his son, the body
covered deep with rock and the whole
tomb cemented together. Such may be
the find at the pumping station.
George Wond, the engineer in charge
at the pumping station, stated yester-
day that the vicinity of the station
had been used as a burial ground for
the Hawaiians some time in the past
days. the victims of the okuu epidemic
of the SOS having been buried there,
the skulls and bones of some of these
having been uncovered at the time the
excavations were made for the pump
ing plant foundation.
Whatver may have been the object
of the stone work uncovered there re-
Gently, the workmanship is particular
ly good, the walls being finished. of

mixed, holding tightly even now.

Fell From Porch.

Mark Biddison, little son of
Landlord Biddison of the Oxford
Hotel, on Sunday afternoon fell
from the second floor of the porch
of the hotel to the stone pavement,
a height of about twenty feet, and
while receiving several lacerations
of the face and being badly shock
ed, miraculously escaped death.
The porch railing had been re-
moved several days previous to the
accident to permit the placing of a
piano in an upper room of the
house, and had been insecurely
fastened in it's place. The little
fellow happened to be leaning
against this section when it gave
way, throwing him to the pave
ment below.

OLEOMARGARINE
Plant Raided In philadelphia-Ille-
gal Manufacture and Sale.
CECIL COUNTIANs IMPLICATED.

For the past few months rumors
have been current that certain cit
liens of the Fifth and Ninth Dis
tricts of this county were connect
ed with the manufacture and sale
of oleomargarine in the nearby
cities and other local points, the
stuff being sold as real butter, and
large profits realized.
After an Investigation which
lasted for month and in the
course of which it was found that
Philadelphia was literally flooded
with oleomargarine, Internal Rev
enue agents on Tuesday night
made a raid upon a dingy looking
stable shed, near Sixteenth and
Passyunk avenue, and uncovered
1900 pounds of health destroying
bogus butter. Paraphernalia for
making thousands of pounds was
also uncovered. Tubs of coloring
matter, gas stoves for mixing the
stuff and also the ingredients for
a perfect imitation of butter were
found.
Four men were found in posses
sion of the shed, Hugh I. Armour,
Chas. III. and Chester M. Church
man and Morton r. Craven, who
were interviewed by the officers
and it was anticipated that these
parties and others would be ar
rested yesterday.
A similar raid was made last
week at Atlantic City in which it
is said these same parties were
implicated and a close watch has
been kept on their actions.
At the present price of butter
in the cities, it is stated that a
profit of twenty cents per pound is
realized on the bogus article.

Trainer Attacked BY Lioness.

Madame Lascelles, an animal
trainer with Al. F. Wheeler's show,
was attacked Saturday evening, at
a performance in a side show at
Oxford, by "Spitfire," the lioness
which has a reputation OF having
killed two keepers and injured sew
eral others. The opening exhibi
tions of the season were given by
the show at Oxford on Saturday,
during which Madame Lascelles
had entered the cage of the beast
several times. The lioness was
restless and excited and Oh the oc
casion of the last entrance of the
cage by the woman the beast
sprang upon her, biting and claw
ing her on the shoulder, breast and
side. Attendants with iron prods
succeeded in beating the lioness off
and the woman made her escape
from the cage. Her injuries are
severe but not fatal.

Farewell to the Broom.

"The problems of the house
keeper are receiving from the
architects of houses something of
attention they have long claimed
in vain," writes John l.. Anderson
in the May Woman's Home Com
panion. "The solution of the
sweeping problem is case in point.
In one of the newest apartment
houses there is not broom to be
found from cellar to garret, or
rather from the third subcellar to
the air cleaning chamber on the
roof. Every suite throughout the
building is equipped with a
vacuum cleaning apparatus. There
is pipe connected with the vacuum
chamber in the basement in every
suite, while a flexible hose long
enough to reach to the futherest
corner of every room is supplied,
which may be readily attached to
nozzle in this piping just as you
would connect garden hose. The
vacuum is controlled by spiggot.
1T is only necessary to pass the
nozzle of this vacuum hose over
the carpet, rug or drapery, and
every particle of dust is instantly
drawn up into the hose. The
dirt collected in this way passes
quickly through the hose into the
pipe, and thence, perhaps a matter
of dozen stories, to chamber in
the subcellar, where an attendant
shovels it up and carries it away.
"The nozzle which picks up this
dust allows no particle to escape,
so that in all this sweeping there
is literally no dust. Incidentally
it removes more dust than the
most persistent and vigorous
broom. The entire operation of
sweeping might be carried on with
the, sweeper in evening dress, so
far, at least, as cleanliness is con-
cerned. The work of hours is re-
duced to minutes"

New Castle presbytery Refuses To
Adopt Prohibition Measure.

The Presbytery of New Castle in
session at Pocomoke City on Friday
firmly refused TO enforce upon the
members of the churches within its
control mandate which would de-
mand of them unqualified support
of the Prohibition party on all
questions relating to local option.
The discussion took place after
the presentation of the report of
the temperance conference by the
chairman, Rev. DR.. T. Chalmers
Potter, which was the special order
of the day. 1t related especially to
the temperance situation in Della
ware, and the unsuccessful attempts
of the supporters of local option to
do anything with the Delaware
Legislature. After the report a
resolution was offered by Rev.
Francis 81. Moore to enforce a pro
hibition mandate upon the pastors
of the presbytery and the members
thereof.
The acting moderator, Rev. J. r.
Henderson, of Georgetown, Del,
declared the resolution unconstitu-
tional, whereupon an appeal was
taken from the decision of the
Chair. A warm discussion fol
lowed, but, owing to the strong seu-
timent of many of the presbyters
against interference with the polit-
ical affiliations of their constituency,
the appeal was finally withdrawn
and a substitute resolution was
offered, which merely advised that
the local-option question be seri-
ously considered by ministers,
elders and members. This reso-
luton was carried.
The statistical reports by the
stated clerk, Rev. J. R. Milligan,
showed that there were in the
presbytery 56 churches, 100 elders,
"a deacons, 6,964 Sunday school
scholars and 1900 communicate
members.
The Presbytery adjourned on
Sunday evening, to meet at West
Nottingham Presbyterian church
next fall.
