Sent From Honolulu to the
Salvation Army in
This City.
Thew Are Refused a Landing
Because They Are Pauper
Immigrants.
All Will Be Sent Back Unless Some
One Will Give Bonds for
Them.

By the Hawaiian bark r. P. Rithet
there arrived from Honolulu yesterday
five orphan children consigned to the care
of the Salvation Army. But an obstacle
presented itself in the form OF Immigra-
ton Commissioner Stradley, who refused
to allow the children to be landed on the
ground that it would be a violation of the
United States law prohibiting the impor-
tation of paupers.
The mother, Mrs. Hagsten, a native of
Norway, died short time ago, leaving six
chiIdren-Agnes, IA years old; Bertha. 10;
Alfred, 7; Ottiiie, 6; Garlic, 4, and baby
OF 16 months, all born in Honolulu. The
baby was adopted by family at Eva and
the others were sent here in care OF Mr..
and Mrs. George Sterling, Americans re-
turning home.
Mr.. Stradley allowed the children TO
land emporariIy and to be taken to the
Salvation Army Home at 800 Bryant
street, until after meeting to be held to.
day by Mr.. Stradley and several other
Government officials. With the children
came letter from the United States Con-
sui at Honolulu setting forth the facts of
the children being without parents, and
this letter, directed to- the Collector nj
the Port, was by him referred 10 Mr..
Str2dley.
There was also letter from Major Win
chell of the Salvation Army, in reply to
one sent to him from the islands. Major
Winchell says:
We can take the children all right and will
be glad 10 o so if there are no strings to hold
them, and if they can be gotten away we Will
look out that they are properly cared for ana
given every advantage as far as education,
both in spiritual and other lines, are con-
concerned God bless you.
w. w. WINCHELL
P. S-All that is necessary is that we get the
children lawfully and the father had better
sign an agreement to that effect If We are to
have them.
Mr.. Stradley says that the children will
be sent back to Honolulu unless some body
furnishes bonds in the sun, OF $500 for each
child that they will not become pubic
charge.
Major Winchell said last night that he
had no intention of violating the law. All
that he knew was that the children had
been sent 10 the Salvation Army, which
was to get $500 for keeping them. He did
not know whether he would be able TO
give bonds and he would not do anything
in the matter at all until after the meet
ing in the commissioners Office this morn.

The mystery OF the disappearance of
Mrs. Lizzie McElroy, the lady druggist

last, has been solved. 1t appears that
Mrs. McElroy is the widow of a soldier OF
the Civil War. and that finding herself in
financial difficulties she decided to go to
the Woman's Relief Corps Home ut Ever
green, near San Jose.
Without making her intention known
to any one she went to San Jose on
Friday last and made her application
for admission. as is the right OF all sol-
diers' wives or widows or those who have
served as army nurses.
The papers not being in proper form she
was not ad mitted at once, and it was not
until yesterday that the documents were
transmitted to Mrs. G. Mason Kinney,
president of the Woman's Relief Corps.
Th1a was the first news of her where
abouts, and she is now safely housed at
the home.

How often we hear discontinued ones talk

And how they would handle the contract II they
Could live their lives over again

The prisoner locked In his cell,
The welded ones battling wi. h family cares

We should never weep over milk that is spilled,
But hustle around for some more.

This word of advice is the best We can give:
Don't over the past sit and brood,
But tackle the flu ure deer mined to live
The balance of life as you should.

NOT AS BAD AS PICTURED.
Kansas CITY Star.

Consul-General Lee, who is somewhat OF q
jingoist himself, reports that nearly four
fifths of the $50, 900 appropriated by Congress
with considerable precipitancy some months
ago for the relief of Americans furnishing in
Cuba remains unexpended. and he is unable
to get any one entitled TO the MONEY to come
forward and CAIN il. This TACT suggests that
during the bate 10 Congress on the resolu-
ton to recognize Cuban beiligere ncy there
must have been good deal of exaggeratiou
with regard to restitution on the island. and
that Senator Morgan's American citizens starv-
