AND THE GROOM WAS 26-
The Ceremony Was Performed Yesterday After
noon and Mr. Compton, the Groom, Was
Wedded to Miss Ella Moore in His Shirt
Sleeves—The Judge is Richer by 25c.
The New Invention Does Away Ent-rely With tage of the delay is that the Hawthorne
Judge Foster performed the sacred
rites of matrimony yesterday afternoon,
which is another evidence that the
rainy season is over. T. W. Compton
was the groom and the bride was Miss
Ella Moore.
Mr. Compton is a young man about
26 years of ago, and Miss Moore is on
the shady side of 40. The ceremony
was marked by the absence of social a
custom long in vogne, and the groom
took a companion for life while in his
shirt sleeves.
The absence of a coat did not in the
least seem to embarrass the gentleman
who smiled a happy smile when the
judge pronounced the solemn and event
ful words which made Miss Moore his
bride.
When the ceremony was over Mr.
Compton immediately demonstrated
that he is a close and careful man of
business. Being in his shirt sleeves on
such an auspicious occasion went
show thig, but that was not the only ev
idence of business ability displayed
Not by a long shot. Before he even
pressed tenderly the hand of his blush
ing bride, or spoke a loving word into
her willing ear, Mr. Compton began to
get financially square with the judge.
‘‘Have you got any change?” he
asked, as lie reached for his pocketbook
The Judge, after feeling in his pocket
admitted that he didn’t have very much
of the desired article hangiug around
loose, and this Mr. Compton seemed to
regret, as he didn’t have, he said, less
than a quarter.
Judge Foster, being a congenial and
liberal individual, assured the groom
with a broad smile that it didn’t make a
particle of difference, but Mr. Compton
was not willing to let it go at that.
The judge had done him a favor, he
explained, and rather than see him go
unrenumerated for his kindness, Mr.
Compton gave him the entire quarter,
and invited him to have a cigar besides
—or rather he told the judge to spend
the quarter for cigars, but this his honor
will not do, as he prefers to keep the
coin as a souvenir.
Mr. Compton and his bride are
strangers in the city. At least they
were both strangers to Judge Foster,
and as the judge knows almost every
body in Athens, it is presumed by the
Banner that the bride and groom are
non-residents of the city.

FRANCE IS WAKING UP-

Daniel Webster once said for a man

sion of a guilty conspiracy against
Dreyfus, and shows that however de
praved a nature he may have had there
was yet enough conscience in his com
position to do justice at least. It wonld
have been braver however and more in
accordance with his dim idea of retribn-

let his co-conspirators be punished.

fho Story of a Fourth of July Rowing
Contest at Honolulu Which Emptied the
Pockets and Lacerated the Feeling* of
Uncle Sam’s Jackies.
“About as dismal a Fourth of July
as ever I experienced on board a man-
_ -war,” said an ex-sailor of the navy
now living in Washington to a report
er, "was Independence day not many
years ago down in the harbor of Hono
lain. The Bennington had an all star
racing boat’s crew. The eight had just
happened to be assigned to the Ben
nington in a bnnch before she left for
her Pacific cruise, and several of the
oarsmen had been members of the Co
lumbia’s crack boat’s crew that walloped
all of the British navy’s boats’ crews in
English waters a few years before.
The Bennington’s cutter was one of
the best in the navy, and she had been
built for a racer. Before we left the
Mare Island navy yard for sonth Pacific
waters tbe ship’s racing crew had easily
beaten all of the other crews of the
ships lying at the yard, including the
tiptop crew of the Olympia and the
Boston’s fine crew. We thought that
we were abont as warm as they make
’em after onr crew put it on so many
other man-o’-war crews, giving them a
couple of minutes the start of us, too,
on numerous occasions and still beating
them disgracefully.
The people of Honolulu arranged
an aqnatio festival for the Fourth of
July—-the Americans down there cele
brated the Fourth just as enthusiastic
ally as we do up here—and the Ben
nington’s crew figured in it largely.
Onr ship’s colors were at the fore in the
two races that were run with picked
Kanaka crews, and the third and last
race of the day was one in which onr
crackajack eight wbb to figure, the other
races having been won by suberews
practically picked at random from
among the strongest seamen.
“We thought this race was at onr
mercy. It was to be a four sided affair—
one crew of Kanaka sugar field workers,
a crew of Kanaka policemen and the
racing crew of the yacht Eleanor, be
longing to Mr. Slater of Providence,
that had pulled into Honolulu harbor
from Japan a few days before. Our
crew didn’t pay much attention to the
yacht’s racing crew and were only fig
uring on the distance they could beat
the crew of Kanaka policemen, which
seemed the most formidable.
“The race was over the four mile
course carefully blocked out in the har
bor—which was very smooth—by the
Honolulu aqnatio sportsmen, and the
start was first rate. There wasn’t a man,
fore or aft, on the Bennington that
didn’t stand to go broke to the extent
of at least a month’s pay on the sneoess
of the Bennington’s crew, and we had
to gi7e 3 to 1, too, for it was generally
conceded that we had tbe race at onr
mercy.
“The start, as I said, was good, and
the Bennington’s crew showed in front
first and started out apparently to make
a runaway race of it. Tbe Kanaka po
licemen’s crew trailed after them, pall
ing steadily, then the Kanaka sugar
workers and, a good ten lengths to the
rear, the Eleanor’s crew. This was the
way it looked for the finish when the
Bennington’s crew rounded the stake-
boat and started for the return trip.
“Some of the Honolulu men who had
their money np on the two Kanaka
crews actually began to square accounts,
and theory, ‘It’sall over—Bennington!’
was heard all over the bay. When the
stakeboat was rounded, it was notioed
that the Eleanor’s boat was sort of get
ting a move on itself, and the men
were working like machines at a long,
steady stroke that oertainly looked as if
it was cutting down the Bennington’s
lead and the JLead of the two Kanaka
boats.
“Two minutes after the stakeboat
was rounded the Eleanor’s gang were
right abreast of the Kanaka cutters and
gaining on them with every stroke, and
the cox’un of the Bennington’s cutter,
hearing the yells of warning from the
Bennington bluejackets ashore, looked
behind him and saw the Eleanor entter
only two lengths behind him and com
ing like an electrio launch. Our crew
was tired, and that’s all there was
about it
“The Eleanor’s crew had held them
selves in for the finish, and they cer
tainly did make a Garrison finish of it
The yaoht’s cutter shot ahead of our
entter a good mile from home, and then,
to make the thing more galling, the
crew actually stopped rowing until the
Bennington’s crew was alongside again.
Then they took to the oars again, and
from then on it was a howling farce.
The Eleanor’s crew jnst romped their
putter in ten lengths ahead of our cut-
fer and the Kanakas a quarter of a
mile in the rear.
“Yon never saw such a disgusted lot
pf men in yonr life as the men and
officers on the Bennington. The Elea
nor’s ship oompany bad taken all of the
8 to 1 money they could get on board
our ship, for they knew they had a good
thing up their sleeve. The Eleanor’s
orew on tbe whole trip around the
world that was wound up at San Fran
cisco had not been beaten once in a cut-
tor race, and the yacht’s sailors had
caaae all kinds of money in betting on
their crew. It was a minor sort of con
solation for ns when we found out that
*7* the Eleanor’s racing crew were
ex-American man-o’-war’s men.”'
