From the rail of the or- gan loft to the reading desk, the green of brake and fern softened the glare of the chandeliers, and big bunches of chrysanthemums waved their plumes of white and yellow on either side of the steps where the bridal party stood. It was a white and yellow wed- ding, and the chosen shades were seen in the bower of green at the platform, in the decorations on the walls, in the ribbons that bound the streamers of smilax across the aisles and In the gowns of the bridesmaids and the maid of honor and the flowers they bore with them in_the bridal procession.

Immediately after the service the invited guests proceeded to the home of the bride, 416 Geary street, where a reception was held. The young couple will spend their honey- moon in the south, and will then take up their residence at 1326 Sac- ramento street. The groom is a nephew of Captain Charles Goodall, and is treasurer of the Coos Bay Coal Company. His bride is the daughter of J. R. Hod- son, the photodrapher. Both are well known in social circles and in the Simpson Memorial congrega- tion, Mr. Nash being president of the Young People’s Society, and the for- mer Miss Hodson one of its vice presidents. Miss Myrtle Hodson, sister of the bride, was maid of honor at the wedding, and Arthur_Hubbard Cole acted as best man.

In the greater number of these cases the excuse was established and the talesmen were let go to attend to business more import- ant than establishing the guilt or inno- cence of Nead the preacher. Nine jurors were all the panel ylelded, and then the case was put over until i1 o'clock tus morning, when fifteen more peers will be haled to court to answer questions and, perhaps, to listen to evidence.

TO SEE HIM ONCE AGAIN TOUCHING FAREWELL SCENES AT THE DOCK. The Woman Who Attempted Suicide on Account of Misprized Love Seeks the Object of Her Affections. When the Alameda, which left this port last Thursday, arrives in Honolulu, Ash- ton Potter, corporal, clubman and breaker of well-exercised hearts, will receive a surprise. If he takes the balt that is of- fered him he will meet the incoming steamer before it arrives and search the decks for a fair unknown to whom he has, by this time, received a letter of in- troduction, The fafr one with an aureole of crushed strawberry hair circling her head is no other than Violet Van Ness, | the young woman who first thought -she | would cut off her life and then thought she wouldn't because Potter was not as devoted as he might have been. |~ Bver since the fateful night when Violet | Va s reached out her right hand and | scooped a Smith & Wesson from her bu- | reau, by the use of which she thought | eternal happiness might be bought, her life has been full of dreams of the young soldier who went along with his regiment and left her to pine in thought and in the misery of solitude. She tried to for- get him and the mightiness of his bish- opric father who lives in New York, but it was of no avail. With recurrent per- sistence the one great subject of her s forced itself upon her mind. ved was Ashton Potter, him again at any cost. steamer left for Hono- Van Ness had taken passage aboard under an assumed name. rinutes before the Alameda left @a hack rushed down to the vessel and a pretty woman of terra cotta head adorn- ment jumped out to be embosomed by the embraces of @ number of her lady friends who were there to bid her good- t was a touching scene, and Miss gave way to a flood of tears ysmic grief that was only guelled by the much forcible eloquence of her friends. Miss Van Ness cried aloud that she would see him once again and this time there would be an account- ing. She also said that she felt that she would never return. Her friends all knew of her intentfon to 80 to Honolulu and the reason of it. To them she confided some time before she left that she would see Potter once again under any circumstances. Her love for him, she confessed, just as strong and 'deep-seated as ever, but, with an in- vocation to all the gods of every rayth- | ology, she bade him beware and not io trifle with her affection. 1n order to give | Ashton Potter a surprise, she had a let- | ter sent to him which told of her coming, | but it was not in the name that he knows | her by. It was an assumed and ficti- jous name, one which she declared would make him come out into the har- bor to meet the ship. Trusting that her little plan would not miscarry she would then confront him, her futuré conduct to be determined according to the reception which he offered. Some say that she took | her revolver along with her. While they do not think that Potter is in any dan- ger, they fear that Miss Van Ness may end her life if she is rebuked. athe Alameda is due in Honolulu to- ay. —_——————————— The largest stock and the lowest quan- tity prices on envelopes in this city.

The dead body of Archibald Murdoch was found floating in the bay at the foot of Main street yesterday morning. The remains had been in the water for a week or more, The dead man was formerly a hostler In the establishment of Hobbs & ‘Wall and was dicharged on the 5th of the Bresem month. Since that time he had een on a spree, and it is believed that while wandering around in the dark he fell into the water through one of the numerous large holes that disfigure many of the city wharves.

Possibly he wouldn’t live long on the regular fleld, but he would make it inter- esting while he lasted. There was a game of baseball in the big gymnastum of the club last night and Bennett umplred it. That is all that is necessary to say about Bennett, unless it might be that his umpiring was appro- priate to the game. The “Stone Nine” plaved the “Butz Nine” and the score was 20 to 14. Which side got the 20 and which the 14 not even the scorer knows, but he knows that one . side got 20 and the other 14. One of the beauties of that kind of scoring is that both nines can clalm the honors with equal certainty of being right. To the unsophisticated onlooker it was 1 difficult to tell whether it was a game of baseball or football. Then again it may have been an amateur circus. Krel- ing as clown and Hammersmith as ring- master. For ground and lofty tumbling many of the actors—players, rather—can consider themselves eligible to a position in a vaudeville show. There was Taylor for instance. He could fall over himself and the ball more and do less toward putting out the runner than would be thought possible unless the act were seen. It is generally expected that a report of 2 baseball game will tell all about the positions, plays, errors and all the other pyrotechnics that usually go with well regulated sports, but it last night's game is to be taken as a criterion, future base- ball reporters will have to learn some- thing new. If anybody had a regular posi- tion and played it, it was an accident. So far as errors are concerned there were none. Of course, fumbles, muffs, wild throws and all that sort of business can’t be counted in indoor baseball for that is evidently what the game is for.

From an athletic standpoint the game was a succeess. The players got plenty Bu npoanr| Bazebal, of exercise for an hour and a half, and everybody was so well pleased that pro- fessional baseball will undoubtedly have an influx of néw players. A gentleman who had a dislocated chest acted as scorer and kept tally on the back of an election card. At least he said he kept it, but no one else could tell what it meant. He announced the score at the end of the ninth inning, but that made no difference to the players—they kept right on, just as if he hadn’t spoken, and when he announced that the score was 20 to 14 Taylor, Burgess, Morton, Hammer- smith, Jama, Lincoln, Clark, Kane and Stone of the Stone nine were as vocifer- ous in their claim of victory as were Derham, Follansbee, Hewson, Grimmel, Butz, Jackson, Kreling, Monahan and 1 RIBBONS! ot will be offered at 7%c yard. 200 pigces No. 40 ALL SILK T will be offered at 12%c each. | 200 dozen LADIES' at 25¢ each.

THE TRAINING STATION ON GOAT ISLAND CAPTAIN F. W. DICKINS MIS- SION TO THIS COAST. He Has Come to Arrange for the Erection of the Buildings . and Wharf. Captain F. W. Dickins, assistant chief of the Bureau of Navigation, Navy De- partment, has arrived from Washington, D. C., and is at the Occidental. The ob- ject of his visit to this coast is the estab- lishment of a naval training station on “Goat Island. ‘“Last winter,” he said yesterday, “Con- gress appropriated $50,000 toward the es- tablishment of a naval training station for apprentices at Yerba Buena Island— | as it is officlally called—the whole cost of barracks, quarters, wharf, water sup- ply, etc., not to exceed $100,000. We pro- pose to erect a bulldinf 300x60 feet, with wings 100x60 feet, and I am here for the purpose of selecting the best site for hese buildings and wharf, estimating the cost of the water supply, etc. “We hope to accommodate about 300 boys, to be drawn, practically, from this coast. The Pensacola will be the train- ing ship. ““The boys will be kept at the training station for six months and then will be sent on a cruising trip for about eignt months. They will then be drafted into the general service, where they will re- main until 21 years of age. Boys will be enlisted between 14 and 1/ years of age, upon their agreement to serve until tuey are 21. In this third class they receive $9 per month pay and an outfit costing not to exceed $45. Upon reaching their ma- jority they get a certificate of graduation, and if they re-enlist receive preference for the rating of petty officers. ““Men so trained have proved the most valuable on our modern vessels of war. Some of the best of them are sent to the Washington navy-yard for six months to study modern ordnance, and from there to the torpedo station at Newport, R. I, for another six months, to learn all about torpedoes, diving, etc. Those who com- plete these two courses are given certifi- cates as seamen gunners. These are the valuable men behind the guns. “I have decided about the location of the buildings and wharf to-day, and have the water supply under consideration. _The plans and specifications_of the buildings are now being made in Washington, and, when ready, wiil be submitted to Pacific Coast contractors. The only other train- ing station of the kind in fhe country is rt, R. I. M"gveewflful probably be ready to award contracts for construction of buildings within six weeks. The station ;’;fi.‘;ht‘hrltnk be opened next spring.” —————————— Fighting Shy of Manila.
