COMMANDER WOOD.
The Result OF His Examination for Promo
ton Excites General Interest.

Inc Result OF his Examination Tor Promo.
ton Excites General Interest.
All officers Of the navy are interested in the
case Of Commander George w. Wood, whose
examination for promotion to the grade Of cap
tain has just been concluded. He stands at
the head Of the list Of commanders and until
he is promoted or otherwise put out Of the way
all promotions below him are blocked. While
it cannot be stated as a fact it is believed in
naval circles that the examining board has re-
ported against him. II this is so and the
report is approved by the Secretary OF the
Navy he will be dropped from the service. The
naval regulations require that an officer shall
serve . certain period at sea in each grade.
Commander Wood has had no sea service under
his present commission and in fact has not had
any for the past eighteen years. He has APP
piled for it several times, but always without
avail. His enemies explain this by saying that
the department was afraid to trust him on .
ship.
He has been on duty at the Norfolk navy yard
since June, 1889, and during his entire connec-
ton with the navy he has had less than
twelve years service on board ship. He has
been unemployed nearly twelve years, while
the officers near him on the list have been I'M
employed but three or four years.
The trouble, it is said. grew out OF his failure
to pay his debts while on duty ut Key West.
His record makes his favorable recommends
ton by the board doubtful A good many Wit
nesses have been called and the case has been
thoroughly examined. 1t was argued that his
limited sea service ought not to prejudice his
case for the reason that it was contrary to his
own desire, frequently expressed. His friends
insist that the department has no right to deny
an officer the duty necessary to make his con-
tinued connection with the service possible.
They have raised the question whether the de-
partment is not responsible for his record as q
commander and whether he should be made
to suffer for the enforced shore duty which
marks his present commission. Action in this
case is awaited with general interest.

KINGS PALACE is one Of the most popular
shopping places in the city for ladies who want
to get the best and at reasonable prices.
In the course Of years it has grown from a
small building until now it is one Of
the largest establishments of the sort in
the city. The latest addition to this every in
creasing business has just been made in the
nature of a shoe store recently opened up
for custom. The building is at sos 7th street,
on the south side OF the former stores
and opening into them through large arch
doorways. A tremendous stock of shoes for men,
women and children has been put in place, and
the popularity OF the new move is shown by the
large crowds that already patronize it. Being
all on one floor Kings Palace offers one of the
most convenient places for women. There are
no elevators necessary and nc steps to be
climbed.
