the wrestler. A letter has been sent
to Hitachiyama in regard TO giving an
exhibition here, and an answer is anx-

ticut Missionaries, " published in Lon
don in 1882, entitled - Letter to a
Noble Lord on the Importance Of Set
Ting the Sandwich Islands and BONN
Islands. - by T. Horton James, Esquire,
was read by Lyle Diekey as fair
sample Of the reports sent out con-
corning the early missionaries Of Ha-
wall. The letter was plea for the
establishment of British colony in
the islands, either by the British gov
eminent OF by a company chartered by
the government AS an %gument it
was declared that the missionaries were
living on the fat Of the land and the
contributions sent them by their dupes
in New England; that they were op-
pressing the natives by making them

and being threatened with hell FIRE if

Unique Marriage Ceremony
MILWAUKEE SENTINEL.


I ding party, with the bride. stayed in
one house, smoking, dancing, talking
In ano- her house were the men, also
smoking and dancing. According to
the Assyrian custom, they must not
mingie. In the house there was feast
ing and merry-making.
The wedding ceremony was per
formed Sunday at O'Clock. Half an
hour before it the wedding guests
were allowed TO enter the same house
together. But the women remained
I'M one room, the men in another. AS
the bride entered the house of the
bridegroom she was showered with
strange flowers and confetti.
Then came the weird Assyrian Gus
tom of the handkerchief throwing. Be
fore she could be married Lizzie Her
ra, the bride, must throw her handker-
chief, filed with flowers, TO the cell
ing. And she must continue throwing
it until it clings to the ceiling of the
room. And all this time the guests
were showering her with flowers, rice
and confetti.
Again and again and again she
threw the bit of linen, only to see it
1utter to the floor. When it finally
did remain fluttering from the ceiling
the bride quietly tainted from the eX-
ertion and anxiety. Bot she was soon
revived, and the ceremony went on.
Following the wedding there was
wedding banquet, at which only for
eign dishes were served. There were
chicken and rice, cooked after the
fashion Of the country, and eggplant,
followed out, stuffed with mutton, the
chopped meat Of the eggplant and
baked. but no bread, cakes or sweets,
as these are forbidden at wedding
dinners. No knives, forks, spoons or
plates were used.
Oriental pipes. with their long tubes
and queer mouthpieces, were smoked,
and only the purest- Assyrian leaf to-
bacco was used. After the wedding
supper came the dancing, but the
women danced alone in one ROOM, the
men in another.
AT one time the bridegroomS sister,
at the request of her husband, came
into the mems room to dance for
them. Immediately. the priest seized
his hat and threatened TO leave the
house, and the dancer retired in confu-
sion. The Assyrian dance is typicaliy
Oriental and slow-moving. While II
was in progress the weird Strains OF
the Assyrian pipes hoated down the
neighborhood of Wells and Fifth
streets.-MiIwaukee Journal.

WITH THE HOUSEHOLDER IN FLORIDA
An Ancient Form of Maritime Life Which is Growing in
Favor With NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Independent OF
Time Tables-Internal Waterways the Home of the
Observation-Disclosures Its Winter Headquarters.

the winter, now turn their bows
southwark, where Florida offers al
most unlimited miles of land-locked
waters over which to foat in a semi
tropical climate until the northward
migration sets back in the spring.
Just what percentage OF the house
boats in eastern waters now winter
regularly on the Florida coasts an3
rivers it is impossible to say, but TIE
number runs into the hundreds. At
such a place as Lake Worth, which
is the housekeeping capital of the
South, the gathering of these craft in
the week of the annual motOr-boat
races reaches the proportions OF a
floating town.
With her 1900 miles of coast line,
numerous sheltered arms of the sea,
and many navigable rivers, IL Is nat
ural that Florida should become the
home of winter houseboating, espe
cially when it is also considered that
these waters offer q greater variety
of fishing than can be had elsewhere
in North America and that there is
shooting almost anywhere within a
few miles of the towns.
BY the inside passage" series of
connecting rivers, sounds and canals,
the voyage from Northern waters to
florida can be made also wholly
through sheltered channels and the
larger craft habitually make it under
their own power. The smaller ones
can be shipped on the deck of one of
the regular passenger liners at COM
paratively small expense. Once ar
rived there is the choice of the hun
dreds of miles of inside waterways
along the East Coast of Florida FROM
St Augustine south, of which the
Halifax and Indian rivers, so-called,
Lake Worth at Palm Beach, and Bis
cayne bay, on which Miami is situa-
ted, are favorite haunts. Then there
are the rivers, the st. Johns and its
tributary, the weird and picturesque
Ocklawaha, the Tomoka, the ST. Lucie
and others, to say nothing of the gulf
coast and the strange and little visit
ed region OF the Florida keys, which
has just been opened to the tourist
world by Henry NJ. Flagier's famous
"seagoing railroad.

The claim has been ingeniOusly put
forward, supported by a showing of
authority, that houseboating is the
Oldest of all maritime pursuits. For
il is aVerred mat Noah was the first
of recorded seamen and the ark, it is
declared, was undoubtedly the origi-
nal houseboat
However weIl-founded this claim,
there is no doTbt that housekeeping is
A very ancient pursuit and that the
shallow, brCad-beamed, comfortable
craft have been gliding down lazy
rivers, slipping through sounds and
inlets, and hugging shores for good
many more years than the oldest ma
riner can recall. Amphibious, rather
than truly maritime, the hOuseboat Is,
strictly speaking, not a creature of
the high seas at all, but of rivers,
lakes, channels, canals, and coast
waters When it, or its crew, tire OF
life afloat it even goes ashores some
times and settles down to a fixed and
prosaic existence as land dwelling.
In America the Households home is
the network OF coast and interior
waters which stretches in a gigantic
circuit around half the continent
from the Great Lakes through the st.
Lawrence, south along the Atlantic,
around the gulf to the Mississippi,
and through that stream and tributary
waters back to the inland seas, a cir
cult which it is now entirely possible
to make in one Of these light draft
craft, which possess an ability to nav
igate in the proverbial heavy dew
rivalling that of the stern wheel river
boats of a bygone generation.
Whether as the least strenuous of
nd
idylIic of existenees, it is certain that
houseboating is growing in favor
among those Americans who can COM
mand the leisure and the not exorbi-
tant price necessary for its deliberate
pleasures. To those who like to
travel without particularly caring
where they go or when they get there,
who like to halt by the way, here for
,ne fishing and there for a few days
shooting, land who would escape the
denominations of fixed schedules,
crowded hotels and the other trials
of the ordinary vacation trip, house
boating especially appeals.
The growing interest which Ameri-
cans are taking in their systems of
internal waterway communication
may be credited in some degree to
the spreading vogue OF the house
boat, and in turn the increasing atten-
tentlon paid in recent years to the
improvement and development of
these systems has doubtless helped
heuseboating in its progress to favor
Where a couple of decades ago there
was one houseboat in eastern waters
there are now a dozen, while in the
course OF its evolution the craft has
developed from the simple types of
an earlier period to vessels which
are real homes afioat, fitted with
everything luxury can desire and
wealth supply.
There has been development in an
other way. too, and from being mere
ly quarters for an annual vacation
trip, the houseboat, in many in
stances has become practically home
for the owner and his family for the
greater part OF every year. When
