A colored divine In the south told
Booker Washington OF what, In his
opinion, was the most extraordinary
wedding ceremony he had ever wit
messed. or. Indeed, OF which he had
ever heard
Have you no witnesses ?" asked the
officiating minister OF a couple OF me-
groes who had presented themselves
for the performance OF the marriage
ceremony
Both replied that they had not, ex-
pressing surprise that this formality
was at all necessary.
Where kin we git some witnesses ?"

groom, who. as we'll as herself, was n
stranger In those parts.

PantomIms Performances.

Most pantomlme characters were orig
inally borrowed from the Italians. The
first real English pantomlme was pro.
duced at a theater In LincoIn's Inn
Fields in 1920. II was called "Harle-
quin Executed" and its subtitle was
"A New Italian Comic Scene Between
a Scaramouche, a Harlequin, a Coun-
try Farmer. His Wife and others"
The performance was very successful.
About the middle OF the eighteenth
century the character of pantomime
performances was completely altered.
chiefly because OF the genius OF the
famous Grimaldi. who made the clown
the first fgure in the pantomlme. Gri-
maids first appeared at Sadler's Wells
theater. where he played the part OF a
monkey. He was actively engaged on
the stage for forty-nine years. and at
the close OF his career he took a bene-
fit at Drury Lane theater which real
lied nearly 400. He also received s1O0
from the Drnry lane fund. This was
in June, 1926, ae died in 1887 and was
buried In the churchyard OF st. James'
chapel, Pentonville hin.

that dress parade has been held at Fort

Leilehua on Main Line.
If the traffic over the Wahiawa-Scho-
field Barracks branch of the Oahu Rail-
way system increases as it is anticipated
it will, with the additional business of
the military post, both freight and pas
senger, it rs likely that the railroad
people may find it necessary to rear
range the schedules, and eventually
make the Honolulu Schofeld Barracks
Wahiawa branch the main line, and
make the short run from Waipahu to
EVA Mill of the local service, which
is now on the main line, a branch and
covered by dummy engine and cars.
In other words passengers for Sehofield
Barracks would board their train and
go direct to the post, and passengers
for Eva Mill, would disembark at Wal
pahu and take the dummy train. the
same as passengers for the Peninsula,
who leave the through train at Pearl
City and take the dummy.
Taft Annuls Marine Order.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 20
The last remaining vestige of the Roose-
welt order taking marines off the bat
tleships and cruisers of the United
States navy was swept away today
when President Taft directed that an
order be issued restoring the marines
TO exactly the same duties they had
performed before they were ordered
ashore
After Congress had placed pro-
vision in the navy appropriation bill
that certain percentage of the marine
corps should be assigned to ship duty,
an order was issued the day before
President Roosevelt went out of office
restoring the marines to ships, but
placing them under the orders 1of the
captains of the vessels.
Under the old system the marines
were given specific duties. One of these
was to fight certain guns of the sec
ondary battery. The order placing them
under the direction of the ships cap
tain made it possible to assign the ma
rines to any sort of duty and to deprive
them of fighting any part of the ship s
battery
In restoring the old regulations the
President acted upon the recommends
ton of the general board of the navy.
