F »rn iii" Cbb-ago Thnes-IleraM.Ann< un"*ment of the betrothal of Prince
I»iivi«: Kawunanakoa and Princess Kaiulani('leghorn of Hawaii is an indication in somev. y that th«*y have not given up hope of a
reft "ration of the old i 111 conditions, whencn.ly the lowest order ha-l to work and lifewas a happy-go-lucky dream, renderedFWf-eter by the murmur of tropic waves,which heat unceasingly on the coral beach¬es. Jt is more, however, for the junction oftw-t estates, formerly called "crown lands."Princess Kaiulani is the heiress of Liliuo-kalani who is her aunt, am! Prince Davidit of the blood of the warrior king. Kame-Lameha 1. though not a direct descendant.Tins union will unite the royal strains ofHawaii. It will be strictly a marriage decon nuance.Jn Washington in the spring of 1898 it was
a nratter of common notoriety that there¦was it" love lost between the youngsters.I>avid was even then looking to a match,but hi- intimates said that he was swayedtiitirely by reasons of state. As for Kaiu¬lani sh~ liked him well enough and waswilling, with her sex's usual generosity, tob * sifter to him. hut she did not care fora ck>S'-r tie. It was eaul ai the time. asnuch Things are so often said in Washing¬ton* that she was attached to a youngAmerican ensign, who made one of the crewei -iii oi*l naval tub that used to roll ands: mble about the South Pacific and madeHonolulu as often as the admiral wouHpermit it. I: is certain tnat the flirtation»?'tween th^.n was very desperate while itlast***and the youthful officer, who wast son of strict folk,s in Massachusetts,t k wildly to rum when his people inter¬vened its promptly and effectively on theirbehalf as did "yuet-n Lai" un behalf of ther-»yal family. About his ro>al family inHit «>kl days many stories were current injii*-ss rooms of ships and in smoking rooms<>: unit**! service ciubs. It was always al>rodtga). lazy, good-natured family, and? . rybody brought into contact with itliktd it. Prom Kamehameha. who lovedthe hoola-hooia dance, down to Kalakaua.who doted on poker, it was very, verypporttve. People regret its passing, just asmany of us regret the passing of the stagecoach and tallow candles and knockers onfront doors and many other useless and ro¬mantic things.
In person Prince David is not a greatd*al of a man. Most of the Kanakas aretail ami wHl built, but he is slender and un¬dersized. He is not more than five feetthree in his boots, and is poor of flesh.His face is rather a handsome one, with adelicate feminine caat of feature. He hasa spectral black mustache, much like th-thin horsehair-looking mustaches we seeeomotlmt-s offi the lips of Japanese, and hiscomplexion is the clear, nutty brown of hisrace. He does not strike one as possessingmore than ordinary force of character. H*Is quick and graceful in movement, and hismanners are equable and highly polished.He has a low.soft and exquisitely melodiousvoice, and speaks English correctly, but not^vith fluency. He has been well educatedami dresses well.Princess Kaiulani. now in her twenty-fteootid year, would be considered a hand-
Huine woman in any company. She is ahalf-caste. I'nderneath her dark skin thf*warm blood comes and goes in a rich duskytide that is never still. Her eyes are long.<iark and lustrous; her mouth, which is*''II. if sensually, shaped, discloses tworows of perfect teeth: her nose is "tip-tiltedlik-» the petal of a flower." and her figure,like that of all the females of her race, is
sensuous perfection itself. She walks iika. Spanish woman and carries herself like aVassar graduate. She is intelligent, merry,kind-hearted and as simple in her tastes asa child, is an excellent amateur musician,paints a little and is one of the most expertswimmers on the islands. Joined to all this,she is a thoroughly modest girl, independ¬ent in thought an«i speech, but well poised.It is not any wonder that the naval ensignwent to rum in his desolation. Those whoknow Miss Cleghorn." as the republicansof Hawaii insist upon calling her. an.>aware that when she becomes the PrincessKawanar.akoa sfoe will rule the roost.The man who engineered this marriage is.
in all human probability. Mr. Paul Neu-maun. Mr. Paul Neumann, now sixty yearsold. was attorney general in the cabinet ofQueen Ldliuokalani. He is. taken by andlarge, the most attractive, dissolute, roar¬ing. laughing, engaging old adventurer thatever sailed the southern seas or swalloweda poi cocktail. A man of many climes andmany peoples, a learned, polis>hed. brave,scheming man. he has been faithful alwaysto the interests of his former mistress anddevoted to the fortunes of her house. Itwas Neumann who came to this countryimmediately after the revolution, and,recognizing instantly that the cause of thequeen was lost, set himself to retrieve asmuch of her wealth as possible from thewreck. Liliuokalanl owes it to him tha'?he lives in luxury today. His purpose wascompromise, and be effected it wilhou'.showing his face once above the surface.There are few more skilled diplomats thanNeumann, once a prince of good fellows inthe Bohemian Club of San Francisco, a bonvivant, a gourmand of the first water, awarrior who lost a limb in some long agoforgotten coup a'eiat in San Salvador, asinge** of a good sohg and teller of a gooditory; a wandering, fighting, adventurouscitizen of the world, a prime favorite withPresident I>ole, who recognizes in him afoeman worthy of his.steel.The income of "Queen Lil" is $20,000 an¬
nually, derived from "crown lands" re-served to her by the Dole government. ILis an instance of the singular magnanimityof this government ihat her income was notiorfeited after her unsuccessful rebellionof three years ago. These lands will go toKniulani when L.iliuokalani dies. She hnsuii ample income in her own right, descend¬ed to her from her short-lived princessmother and the dead Cleghorn. PrlncI>avid owns many acres of cane lands andcoffee lands. In the event of issue the royalstrain will be kept alive, and the two prop¬erties massed will make the estate one ofthe largest on the islands.

A RAILROAD STATION ABANDONED.
Depot at Fairmonnt, III., Nailed t'p ana Retaliatory Measure.
From tbe St. Louia Globe-Democrat.The Wabash Railroad Company has vir¬
tually wiped out the station at Fairmount,111. The depot is nailed up. The telegraphinstruments were taken out and the serv¬ices of the agent dispensed with. Only onetrain a day stops in the town, which hasabout 1,000 inhabitants. The right of way-has all been fenced in and the elevatorsand other buildings on the right of wayhave been ordered removed. The depot, itis said, will be moved two miles east, wherethe railroad expects to build up anotherstation. The trouble commenced a yearago. when the Wabash company, throughsome legal informality, escaped paying thetaxes assessed against it. The train servicewas also claimed to be very poor for Fair-mount. The village authorities, to geteven, insisted on a strict enforcement of theordinance limiting the speed of fast trainsthrough the village.
()ur great six-story building is now the scene of more keenprice cutting than was ever known before. The whole establish-ment is completely given over to the bargain hunter. Never was sucha Mecca for Furniture buyers. From all over the city they arecrowding to purchase, while -

The Meeting |*liiec.Waugh Church Is regarded as especially
well adapted as a meeting place for theconference. It Is free from the noise andbustle incident to other localities, and yetIs centrally located. The* church had itsorigin in a mission Sunday school whichwas established by WesTty Chapel. Thefirst meeting was he-Id Sunday. March 13,1853, in a small one-story house of tworcoms on Massachusetts avenue between3d and 4th streets northeast. There wereeight persons in attendance. The congre¬gation increased so 'rapidly that at no lessthan four different times within the nexttwo years the mission had to seek larcerquarters. The site of the present churchwas purchased in 1854, and the cornerstonelaid September 5 by Bishop Waugh. Thebasement was dedicated Alav 1 ¦¦ 18.-)."). andthe upper room February. 7. 1S58, at whichtime the church was given the name it atpresent bears.Extensive alterations and repairs were
tr ade in IKtifi and again iu 1874. In 18ttr> alarge pipe organ was addoU. During Its ex¬istence the church has had nineteen regu¬lar pastors, the first being Bev. G. H.

Minister «le Ltinr'a Successor WillSail To'ifny *
Sfnor Du Bosc.^the Spanish c^iar^ d'Af-faires, has received a' cablegram from theminister of state 'at M'a^rjd saying thatthe new minister to the trifled Stales.Sfnor Polo y Barnabe. will sail today frontGibraltar. This will bring him to Wash¬ington in about £fso days. li is expectedthat his first attention will be glv>ji»;.to ther.ew commercial treaty Ivetween the -UnitedStateS and Spain, with particular r'efer-erce to Cuba. His services as chief ofthe coramereiaJ bureau Qf the foreign of¬fice-have given him charge of the detailshading tin to the negotiations of thistreatv, and he: will come, it is said) shar¬ing the earnest desire of the Sagasia ad¬ministration t< put through this matterwith the least delay possible. MinisterWoodford has been carrying on the nego¬tiations with the authorities at Madrid,and thfy are well along toward comple¬tion.Senor Du Bosc has expressed satisfaction
at the more conservative tone of publicsentiment within tile last few days. Pressreports from Madrid stated that the au¬thorities were jubilant over the receipt ofImportant favorable Information from Ha¬vana. In other quarters, however, the Im¬pression prevailed that this informationdid not refer to the Maine inquiry, butconcerned the general conduct of the in¬surrection In "Cuba. There have been strongindications of late that the autonomist cab¬inet. under the leadership of Govln. whoIs the recognized force of that body, wouldendeavor to make terms with the separa¬tist wing, and In turn secure the co-opera¬tion of the Insurgents in a movement toconclude the war.

THREE SERVICESDRAW LARGE CROWDS
Collection Taken and Debt Re¬duced to $2,000.
NOTES OF INTEREST
The dedicatory exercises of the newDumbartou Avenue M. E. Church wereheld yesterday, and at all of the servicesdt ring the day the seating capacity of theedifige was taxed. Persons were presentfrom all sections of the city, and the ap¬pearance of the new structure excitedmost favorable comment.According to the regular order of exer¬
cises. three services were held yesterday.r.ot including the Sunday school rally,wh ich was held in the forenoon. BishopJohn Hurst. i).l).. Lli.I>., was to have de¬livered the sermon at 11 o'clock, but at thelast moment he was unable to fulfill hispromise, owing to sickness. His place wastaken by Kev. George Elliott. D.D., pastorof the Spring Garden Street Church, inPhiladelphia, a former pastor of Dumbar-ton Avenue Church. With this exception,the program as previously prepared wascarried out.At U o'clock In the morning the Sunday
school rally was commenced, being first onthe program. Mr. John T. Mitchell, one ofthe prominent church members, was incharge. The principal address was madeby Mr. Mitchell. He dwelt principally onthe interest of the Sunday school in thewcrk of the congregation. Short addresseswere made by others interested in the workof the Sunday school of the church. TheM-hool was presented with an oak readingdesk, the donation of Miss Etta Sebastian.It was mode for the purpose by her father,Mr. Klclaril Sebastian, who is a memberof the church.The first service in the new church for
the general congregation was held at 11o'clock. Dr. Elliot: preached from He¬brews, xi^'J-KI. "And these all having ob¬tained a good report through faith, receiv¬ed not the promise: God having providedsome better tl-.ing's for us, that they with¬out t;s should not be made perfect."A special service was held at H o'clock ir
the afternoon, at which Dr. Elliott againo.-<upied the pulpit. This service was, per¬haps. attended more largely than any otnerdi ring the day. and to accommodate thelarge number of people extra chairs werepli-ced in the aisles tnd other portions ofihe church.At 7:80 o'clock in the evening the pulpit
was occupied by Kev. l.uther Wilson. D.D..the presiding elder of the loeil conference.His text was taken from IvU rk, iii:21. Tilt.Sfirnon was an able one.At all of the services special collections
were taken to help defray the cost of theImprovements, and a total of about £»,:to(lwas collected or phdged.

Iuaproi'lnjr the Cannl.With all of the water out of the George-
tijwn level the officials of the Ch?3apeake£nd Ohio Canal Company are making a
number of needed improvements in thewaterway. The trench is being dug out Insome places, receiving an annual cleaning,as it were. Along the Canal road the wallon the north side is being repaired inplaces, while th . finbnnkjnent on the southside Is being strengthened. All of thewaste gates on this level are being lookedafter, and improvements that may be need¬ed are being made. The same class ofwork is being dore along the entire lengthof the waterway, so that there will be nohitch when the shipping season is read}to be opened.The season for traffic on the canal will
most likely begin March 13. It Is quitelikely that a good many boats will startfor Cumberland as scon as the water is
again turned on In the waterway, so as tobe able to get a load and come down inquick order.The present winter has been one of the
best in the history of the canal, and forthe first time in the spring period thereare no indications existing of a freshet orflood. There is r o Ice on tfte river an 1very little snow >u- the mountainous regionsof the Shenandoah, and the absence ofthese two elements reduces the liability ofa flood to a minimum.

with two companions, called at the station.Wells claimed to own the team, and didnot know how it was taken from his sta¬ble without his knowledge.

A Boy In the Role of a Wild IlnrUn-rtnn i« Embarruitiiiufe.
From the New Orleans Timea-lk-inocrat.Mr. Gottschalk. now in New Orleans
as representative of musical attractions,tells an amusing stcry of the elder Sal-vini, who for once at least lost tem¬
porarily his magnificent repose. Aboutfifteen years ago Mr. Gottschalk was rep¬resenting Salvini. The combination arriv¬ed at a small one-night stand in the west."Ingomar." with its wild, hairy barbarians,was to be played. In order to put on theplay properly it was necessary to take ina stock of barbarians, and the managercalled into his office the men who gen¬erally served as supers, but when theywere told what they had to do and howthey should be dressed, with decolletelegs and frowsy whiskers, the men dis¬played a startling unwillingness. Theysaid thai all their friends in town wouldguy them if they came on the stage insuch a rig. No arguments could prevailwilh them; all the available men in townabsolutely refused to go on as barba-riar s. The manager was in a great strait.It was absolutely necessary to have thebarbarians or they coald not proceed. Sohe called into service all the large boysin the town and instructed th,em»in thepart they would have to play.In one or two scenes they were re¬
quired to shout a few words in chorus.The manager did not think !t necessaryto worry Mr. Salvini about his supe diffi¬culty, so that Mr. Salvini was in blissfulignorance when he stepped before thefoo.Eghts. The barbarians ,made a splen¬did appearance; ^ith their big whiskersand rough goatskins they looked veryfierce and forbidding. Now during thecourse of "Tngomar" Mr. Salvini wascalled upon to ask the barbarians if theydesired the death of a captive, and thebarbarians were called upon to respondwith a terrible shout, "Kill him: Killhim!" Mr. Salvini reached this point.He ask^d with his usual dramatic forte.Shall we kill him?" But no terrible shoutarose from that band of hideous, beardedbarbarians. Instead there floated upon theair in a ludricrous contrast a faint, trem¬bling boyish treble. "Kill him. Kill him."The audience howled, and for a momenteven the great Salvini was abashed.
transferred to his own title under due f<»rmof law, and so became one of the landbarons of that prosperous and boomingcommunity. All this took place before An-niston became famous, but at a time whenMr. Noble wan laying his plans for the de¬velopment of th<* place by the erection ofscores of great industrial plants. One day,in a moment of unguarded, misdirectedmental disturlyanoe. Means got rid of theproperty by reselling it to the land com¬pany for the munificent sum of $.'to cash inhand paid. This spot was later the placewhere the splendid Anniston Innwas erected, .and the property must havebeen worth a: least $5,0(10. "Bill" Meansremained in Anniston a long time, but final¬ly came to New Orleans, where he is en¬gaged in the work of making up his lossesfrom the sale of the inn property. He waswise enough to make other investments inAnniston, however, and is considered nowone of the solid citizens of that city, thoughhe is engaged in the commendable labor o(a truckman.

Training fall.From the Providence Jonrnal.Says a trainer of cats "How do T com-
mence training them? Well, I don't «*aro
exactly about making my method puMfc*property, but I am not averse to tellingyou this much.that cat's meat and milkform t*o of the most Important factors hithe operation. It is a common superstitionthat cats are stupid animals. 1 do notthink* so. They certainly are not so intel¬ligent as dogs. Neither are they sociable.But once they get to know what is wantedof them they are easily induced to tio ttto the best of Lheir ability. Kindness andpatience go a Ions way with cats. A littlewholesome correction is oi'te.; good for adog, but use a whip to a cat tor one timeonly, and even ever so sparingly, and itsvalue as a trick animal is destroyed for¬ever. Cats are simply bundles of l.trvescovered over with fur, and even an unkindword or a glnnce from any one they lovewill cause them acute suffering. Anothersecret in training cats, or. indeed, f.ny ani¬mal, is never to disappoint them of theirpromised reward. 1 remember once whileperforming in the north of England somotime ago. walking live miles at 10 o'clockat night in a blinding snow storm to getmy happy family its regular supply ofmilk. So much obedience, so much cat'smeat. That Is my rule, and I never varyit."
Fortune'*! Caprice*.Ir'rom the New Orleans Times-Democrat.The caprices of Dame Fortune never had
a stranger exemplification than in the caseof a colored man of New Orleans. *4Bill"Means by nafne, who drives one of thosenerve destroyers, a cotton float, over thestreets of this city. Means was once in theemploy of the late Samuel Noble, thefounder of the city of Anniston, Ala. Aswas the custom of Mr. Noble, he remem¬bered Means one day in the gift of a tractof land on the edge of the then small vil¬lage. At that time Means was the headkeeper of furnace No. 1, a position he heldfor many years, and. to his credit be itsaid, always to the complete satisfaction ofthe house of Noble; and while he did notparticularly need the land, he had the deeds
Limited Harlnerntiipa.From the 8t. Loots Glohe-r>Mnoorat.The word "limited," so often seen after
the busim-es title of a firm, is a precautionagainst disasi :r. I'nder the English lawthere are two kinds of stock companies;in on* the liability of the stockholders isunlimited, that is to say, if the stock or thecompany has a nomine 1 value of £100.0(K»and the compuny falls for £500.(100. the pri¬vate property of the stockholders may b»taken by proews of law to satisfy the dif¬ference between the amount of the stock{>nd the amount of the liability. When,bowjver, the company is "limited" the lia¬bilities of the stockholders are limited tothe amount of stock they hold, and in raiseof the failure of the concern they arc notliable to a (rreater extant than the value oftheir stock.
