HONOLULU MAN
IS INTERESTED

The following from the Ely, Nevada,
Expositor, under date of May Q, will
be of interest to a number of persons
in Honolulu who have made mining
investments in the part of the country
referred to:
A. G. Burritt, president and manager
OF the Ohana Mining company, came
in last evening from Salt Lake on his
way to the mines at Sacramento pass.
He will here await the arrival of John
Walker. of Honolulu, one of the stock
holders in the company from whom a
cablegram was received stating he
would be here tomorrow, After the
arrival of Mr. Walker he and Mr.. Bur.
rift will go to the Pass and spend
several days inspecting the property,
Work is to be resumed at once by
the Ohana company and the main shaft
which is now $50 feet will be sunk
another fifty feet before any other
development is attempted. One of the
lodges on the property dips toward the
shaft at an inclination that indicates
the shaft ought to cut it and pros.
pecting to learn the size and value OF
it will then be begun.

SUGAR PRICES
TREND UPWARD

The general hope is expressed by
sugar men that the era of comparative
ly low prices which has maintained
for the past month or two is about to
be succeeded by higher one. Per
haps the most significant feature in
this connection is the starting upward
of refined prices, which have been
dragging since the first of the year.
Yesterday the quotation for fine granu-
lated in New York was advanced ten
cents on the hundred. The price has
lately been as low as $40.
The Planters Association quotation
from San Francisco this morn
ing advanced ninety-six degree centri-
fugals to 1885, or $3.50 per ton; this
against quotation of 1892 or 7S.4O per
ton, which has ruled for some days.
A private cable to the Waterhouse
Trust Company received this morning,
states that a sale of centrifugals had
been made in New York at 3.99, in.
dicating a still further advance

occupied by its tracks so long as the
franchise continues in force. If the
character of the pavement required to
be laid is not open to objection, we
are inclined to think that the duty to
lay it would be the same whether the
remaining life of the franchise be long
or short. Whether that is so or not,
we are satisfied that It is not at all
unreasonable to require the company
to put down the pavement specified
in the notice at a time when more
than one-half of the life of its fran
chise remains intact It is not claim
ed that the pavement In question is
not an approved one. 1t is not claim
ed that the action of the municipal
ity in laying such a pavement was In
any way improper or inappropriate.
We think the fact that at the expira.
ton of the franchise the company
ties could be taken out of the concrete
base only with much difficulty affords
no sufficient reason for relieving the
company of the obligation to lay the
pavement"

are separated from their domestic
partners.
On Mrs McKim's side the record
showed everybody was doing it.
Her sister Mrs. Jack Horner, d.
vorced her husband and married
James McVickar. Then her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs Isaac Emerson, were
divorced, and each has since mar
ried again. Mrs, McKim's divorce
occurred lust before that of her
parents Thus each member of her
family has passed through the
divorce court
With these records before them
the prospective bride and groom, so
the story goes, decided to take this
most unusual step. A week or two
before the marriage was to be cele-
brated in the quaint little village of
Reigate Borough, England, Mr.. Van
derbilt appeared at Mrs Mckims
country estate with several very
legal looking documents and his
lawyer,
"In the midst of courtship pre-
pare for divorce"

ment and new will to he signed,
and then this divorce agreement
was brought forth and discussed in
this manner, according to friends
who are fully acquainted with the
details:

any divorce complications, We have

behooves us. therefore, to fore
stall any such publicity in the
event of our marriage proving I'M
successful" announced Mr.. Wander
bilt.
Mrs. McKim nodded in assent
and pointed out several things to
be considered. I'VE must arrange
the financial side, then, so that
there will be no fight over alimony
poor mother was always in hot
water over her Allowance"
Quite right" responded Mr.. Van
derbilt
II was. therefore, arranged that
Mrs. Vanderbilt, the bride, was. in
event of divorce. under no condi-
tions to talk to newspaper people
or to give out any information
about herself or her husband. Mr..
Vanderbilt on his side, was not to
talk to any newspaper people ON
any subject but horses.
While their marriage continues
happy and they live together, Mrs.
Vanderbilt's personal allowance is
to be, approximately, one hundred
thousand dollars a year. Mr.. Van.
derbilt is to pay all house and sta.
BILE maintenance.
In case of divorce, IL Mr. Wander
bilt is at fault three million dollars
are to be settled on his wife. Each
girl child is to receive one million
and each boy three millions 1t is
further specified that each child
shall spend six months with each
parent-no matter what the causes
of separation. IN case of son, his
entire education is to be arranged
by the father
If Mr.. Vanderbilt secures the d.
vorce, or it is secured by Mrs. Van.

her allowance will be one hundred
