TO HER NATIVE LAND.
RetUrn of Princess Kaiuiani to Hawaii,
Who're 1t IS Reported She Viii
Soon Be Married.

HONOLULU, HAWAII. Nov. 12.-Tbe
rival of Princess KaiuIani caused a fiut-
ter yesterday. A large crowd of people,
principally natives, greeted her at the
wharf. As the Princess walked down the
gangplank the Hawaiians covered her
with flowers. She was driven to her home,
where a'reception was held last night. 1t
is understood that Kaiulani will remain
here several months.
a. S. Clegnorn, her father, is quoted as
saying that his daughters visit has no
political Significance. If il had ii woul d
not be policy for him TO admit the fact,
as the young woman Is now receiving a
substantial pension from The Hawaiian
Government; enough to support herself
in comfort. II this Govern lnenL imagined
for q moment that kaiulani was plotting,
her pension would be Immediately
stopped.
Rumor has it that the Princess is here
to be married. The groom Is said to be
George Davies, a son OF 7. II. Dave, the
guardian OF the young woman. George
Davies and his father arrived a few days
in advance Of the Princess. The elder
Davies is a very rich man and all his
wealth Will go to mis- two sons. The
Davies homes cad has been rem Odeled re-
Gently. which is very significant to many
people. Kaiulani and her trends EVIL
IDENTIFY realize that there is no hope for
her, as far as the Hawaiian throne is con-
ceTned, and it would be q good stroke TO
marry a rich man. son.

importunities Of tradespeople, of his
musical compost ions, of his wonderful
influence in the passing in OF new mem

All this was as strange and new to the
patronesses of the class of which Howard
Adams was plain and altogether ordi-
nary mem Der as il was startling and awful.
At first they would lend no ear TO what
they considered foolish rumor, but when
unmistakable proof was brought them
that Adams was telling tales of buds that
had been bIackballed, and, above all, was
hawking about tae photographs of some
of the most select and most highly re-
spected mem bers of the class, the patron
esseS reached the conclusion that it was
high time to take d cidei action in the
matter, and Adams, after some little Ie-
seniment, accepted the situation.

HER MIND DERANGED.
Miss Forrest Gilmore Confined
in the City Receiving
Hospital.
She Has Long Been Connected With
the School Department as
a Teacher.

Miss Forrest Gilmore, a kindly appear
ing young woman, who has for some
years been connected with the School De-
partment of this city as teacher, was
taken from her rooms, SIG Ellis street,
last evening, by Officer Morris Duane,
and confined in padded cell at the Re-
ceiving Hospital
The unfortunate young woman's mind
is Geranged, it is thought, by overwork
and worry, and she has acted in a most
strange manner for several days. Last
evening she went TO ner rooms. and as she
was unusually noisy the landlady of the
house, Mrs. c. Robinson, conc 'uded that
her lodger's malady had overcome her,
and she went to investigate.
She found Miss Gillmore's door securely
locked, and no solicitation on her part
was of avail. She tried to get the young
woman to open the door. but she refused.
Fearing for her lodger's safety, Mrs. Rob-
inson called Officer Duane. He en-
deavored TO effect an entrance by coaxing g
the inmate. but as she paid no attention
10 his suasion he forced the door.
He was none too soon, as Miss Glllm ore
was preparing rope from the bed-sheets
preparatory to dropping out the wind ow.
The officer seized her, summoned the
ambulance and removed her TO the hos
pital. at the hospital the young WON ian
said that her father and Mrs. Robinson
were quarreling over her ana had locked
her In her room.
She was anxious to escape so conclud ed
to drop out the window 10 freedom. Her
complaint, however. was born OF an nm
balanced mind, but she believed the
story she told was one of truth.
Assistant Superintendent OF Schools
Stone called at the hospital shortly after
Miss Gilmore's arrival.
Her afh iction, he said. has been grow
ing on her for some time. She has been
extremely nervous of late, and the cul-
mnation of last evening was not unex.
pected.
Miss Gilmore was regular teacher for
some time, but during tn, past few
months has been teaching as a substitute.
She last taught at the Bernal Heights
Grammar School. and it is thought That

G. j. Whalen, Wanted for Grand Lar
ceny, Unexpectedly Turns Up.
Since Mav2 Detectives Whitaker and
Seymour have been looking for c. J.
Whalen, a young man who was wanted
on a charge of grand larceny, and Captain
Bohen was considerably surprised when
WhaIen walked into his office yesterday
morning and made himself known. He
was at once escorted TO the City Prison
and booked on the charge.
On the date mentioned Whalen and
Thomas Shaw, saloon-keeper on Market
street, went together to The Hammam
baths. While there it was alleged that
Whalen got the key OF Shaw's box and
took $500 in monev and a diamond pin
from h Is clothes and left for the East. He
was indicted by the Grand jury.
Whalen says that as soon as he heard a
warrant was out for his arrest he returned
to the city. He denies stealing the money
and pin and says that when he told Shaw
he wanted 10 go East Shaw suggested he
should take them and purchase Lis ticket
with them.

Last of the Bison.

OF the vast herds of bison. of buffalo,
that once roamed the plains previous
to the year 1870, and in remote times
were plentiful. in the Eastern States,
the world will never see the like again.
Some idea of the numbers of buffalo
that once had the freedom of that
country between the Mississippi and
the Rocky Mountains may be had by
those instances on record where boats
were stopped by swimming herds. rail
road trains delayed for hours while the
dark mass swept by and wagon trains
trampled and destroyed.
AT the present time the few remain
ing members of the once mighty race
are mostly confined in geological gar
dens. With the advance of ciyiliza.
ton the butfalos were pushed farther
and farther to the West, and their
numbers greatly reduced, but 80 i'm.
mense were the herds that those ami.
mails killed by the settlers and Indians
to supply their needs would not have
resulted in determination.
With the building of railroads the
buffalo hunting became business for
the profit of the meat and skins, though
many thousands were destroyed for
the sport only, the tongue alone being
taken and the rest left for the birds
and wolves. The spectacle of bleach.

Beet Sugar No Longer An Experiment.

Results already achieved in field and
factory on commercial scale during
the past six years, to say nothing Of
many thousands of farm and labora-
tory tests demonstrate beyond question
two things: ~ That the sugar beet can
be grown in profitable quantity and
quality over sufficient area in the
United States to furnish the world
supply of sugar, and (2) that the cane
sugar industry can also be largely de-
veloped. So true is this that it is now
recognized, by all well informed about
this new industry, that California, To-
wa, Nebraska, and any one of the sew
eral other States could alone supply
the United States with all the sugar
she consumes. Once firmly established
American genius will SO improve upon
present conditions that in due time the
United States will be an exporter of
sugar. For experience has shown that,
once established, the beet can more
tnan compete with cane.-From sugar
