The friends of Mr. Alfred Parkins of Takoma Park and M Beau Walker of this city will be grea surprised to hear that they were marrjed in Baltimore last Monday, and that they left here this af- terneon on their Lridal tour. It is no secret that the two were grertly attached to each other, and that they were constantly to- gether, but not even the most intimate nds dreamed that they contemplaied rimony for a long time to come. More- there was parental opposition on both to such a step. This opposition ws based, it is said, on the theory that the two people were too young. Despuiring of cbtaining parental consent, they quietly re- paired to Baltimore lest Monday and were married by Rey. Curtis Lee Laws without letting their friends know anything about it. They returned to their respective homes immediately after the ceremony and have since conducted themselves so as to dis- arm suspicion. They were afraid to divulge the truth verbally, and finally concluded Uhat their best course was to anmounce their marriage by advertisement in The Star, and go away for a short honeymoon in order to give time for the anticipated storm to blow over, Their destination is a secret. Mrs. Parkins is a native of Vir- ginia, but she has been a resident of this city for the past two years. She is de- scribed as a beautiful brunette of many accomplishments. Just before her de- parture she wrote a letter to her mother, ister, Mary Balentine of telling of her marriage, and asking her for- | giveness. The runaways have engaged apartments at 810 H street, where they will be at home to their friends on and after the 15th instant. Mrs. Claude A. Swanson will not be at home tomorrow, but she will be at home on the following Tuesday, when her mother, Mrs. A. D. Lyons, will be with her. es THE ISLAND OF FORMOSA. It Will New Be Opened Up to Trade and Commerce. The Japanese legation in Uis city. has received an important cablegram from the foreign office of Japan, by the terms of which the rich island of Fermosa, which Japan acquired from China, will be opened up to trade and commerce. Since th acquisition of Formosa by Japan there has been considerable speculation by merchants and others interested in oriental trade as to the policy Jepan would purstc, and the above cablegram indicates the purpose of the government of the :nikido to be an enlightened one, having for its object the free development of the industries and commerce of the island. = To Secure Mrs, Maybrick’s Release. Andrew H. H. Dawson of New York, who is greatly interested in securing the release of Mrs. Maybrick, confined in an English prison on the charge of murdering her husband, is in the city. He says the next attempt to secure the woman's re- lease will be made by the Masons and Roman Catholics, and that the efforis wiil be made along the same lines as those fol- lowed in the past. The seme evidence will be used, but certain additional facis fa- vorable to the woman that have been 2s- certained will be produced. Mr. Dawson makes grave charges against some of the British officials, which he will embody in a bock to be issued in Mrs. Maybrick’s he- half. He is obtaining funds necessary for the publication while here. ———————~.____ New King of Bavaria.

SAW BIS SHADOW. The Growné Hog Therefore ‘Six Weeks Mere of Winter. ‘The famous groevni hog came out of his multitudinous holes yesterday, according to time-tonored custom, to take a glance at the ground and ascertain if his shadow had grown less or greater during his hfvernation. Having satisfied himself on this point, he returned to sleep for en- other six weeks, because he was aware, jest as nine-tenths of the farmers and all of the colored people in the neighborhood were, that if he succeeded in secing his shadow there would be six weeks more of winter. There was little vse in the animal taking such precautions about returning to his subterranean retreat, however, if the prot ise cast by his shadow meant six weeks more of the kind of winter Washington has already been having, because a glance at the trees in the parks shows that the con- tinued balny atmosphere, which is mak- ing the capital city famous as a winter re- sort, hus swelled the buds and set the sap coursing through boughs and branches. eens At Asbury Ch ‘h.
