HAWAIIAN QUEEN FOR
Iron the washington

LFrom the Washington Start
RoyaIist hopes in Hawaii are by no
means dead. There has been a boom
in queens since the islands were formal
~ turned over to the United States.
Today there are many heart-burnings
among the Hawaiian beauties and
many jealousies, and all because one
of the native Hawaiian girls is to be
chosen a queen and only one. She is
not to be queen of Hawaii, or of any
material, tangible territorial possess
sions, but of the Topeka Kansas Carni-
val; yet the promise of even this de.
gree Of evanescent royalty has sufficed
to arouse the slumbering monarchical
aspirations in the breasts OF all the
eligible young women who were form
erly embraced in Mrs. Dominis' glitter
ing generality, my people" A PROPOSE
ton to offer the position OF queen of
the carnival to a. native Hawaiian girl
was recently forwarded by a Topeka
committee to a former resident Of Kan
sas now in business in Honolulu and his
advertisement of the matter is said to
have brought him serious embarrass-
ment.
The judgment Of Paris was not so
difficult by many degrees, for Paris had
to choose one of only three while the
former Kansan in Honolulu has from
latest accounts to choose one from
many hundreds of Kanaka girls, all
eager for a free trip to the sunf1ower
state and an opportunity to be a make
believe queen for a month. This cpl
sode furnishes one evidence of the close
ness with which the newly annexed citi-
zens are united to the mainland. Ha-
wall is indeed a part of the union when
Kansas turns to her for the presiding
beauty Of a purely American form OF
entertainments

1MPRovING WATER WORKS.
Salina Will Increase Pressure and
Double the Supply.

Sa1ina. Sept. &C. w. Pearson of
Kansas City, the hydraulic engineer
who came here recently to figure on the
extended improvements in the water
works pumping station, is still in the
city and experimenting in increasing
the flow of water into the large we'll In
the bottom of the well are four smaller
six inch wells, which extended to a
depth of 100 feet. These are self-how-
ing wells and Mr.. Pearson has put a jet
into each of these to increase the flow
This has had a tendency to rifle the wa
ter for a few days and the mistaken i'm
preston could easily obtain that the
water is being drawn from the river,
but such is not the case. If the temper
allure of the water is considered the
false idea would not be entertained as
the water is cold and the only sediment
if any, is but the sand of the lower
wells which is drawn into the mains by
the increased suction. The flow yes
terday was increased $50 gallons a min
ute and it is expected today that the
flow will be increased 300 gallons per
minute.
The plans Of improvement for the Sa-
lima station are drawn and will be sent
to the factory for the manufacturing Of
such machinery today or tomorrow. The
improvements contemplated will aggre-
gate an expenditure of cOnsidera BILE
money and will increase the capacity
from 1000, 900 gallons in "a hours to A.
0O0, 900 gallons in that time. 1t is pro-
posed to feed this great flow by a series
of gang wells,

cratic suburbs of San Juan. where he
will establish his headquarters.
General Brooke has accepted the hos
pitality of Captain General Macias, who
graciously offered him the use of his
private residence at Rio PedraS. The
column, though small is imposing and
is making a deep impression. As it
wound its way over stately mountains,
their submits covered with coffee and
tobacco plantations, and through the
broad savannahs and valleys, General
Brooke, with his chief and staff, rode
at the head of the column. The natives,
who had news of the coming of the
Americans, lined the streets, their faces
showing their pleasure, although there
was no demonstration. At intervals
along the way the Spanish soldiers of
the civil guards presented arms as our
At Cayey and Caguas the Spanish
commanders received General Brooke
with marked courtesy. The Spanish
buglers gave the f1ourishes for major
general upon our arrival Houses have
been set apart for the accommodation
of General Brooke and his staff. The
infantry and cavalry companies camped
in the outskirts of the town were visited
by the Spanish soldiers. There was no
display whatever of in-feeling, Span
iards and Americans mingled freely,
fraternizing and exchanging buttons as
souvenirs. Spanish flags flew at Cayey,
and Caguas, but as guests in an enc
my's country, we showed no cOlors save
the cavalry guidon. Our stalWart sol
diers and massive horses caused cease
less wonder to the natives, accustomed

The records of the army show that
the football players and the athletes
generally, like the good, die young. In
other words it has been demonstrated
that the men who have undergone
severe training for the purpose of de-
veloping their physical beings to a high
degree succumb to the hardships Of
army life more readily than ordinary
people. Apparently the only good re-
suit to be derived from the physical
training in the colleges and gymnas-
iums is to better fit the individual for
that particular walk in life for which
he is trained. Any general benefit is
not apparent
