state when the boys reach home 1 Will
be woefully mistaken"
Senator NebeEer, who is lieutenant
colonel on Governor Wells staff, had
much to say last evening at the Alta
club in commentator of the glorious
achievements of the Utah batteries
and the magnificent ovation given
them on their march through the streets
of San Francisco.
Speaking of some of the officers and
enlisted men. of whom little has been
heard lately. Colonel Nebeker remarked
that Lieutenant Frank T Hines is
quiet, unpretentious and deliberate.
and a model young officer. why, l
believe he would wade through a storm
of bullets and never turn" said the
colonel. He deserved his promotion"
Lieutenant MAYORS face is always
wreathed in smiles, and Lieutenant
Webb looks as rosy and Fat as a
butcher Lieutenant Seaman, another
officer who rose from the ranks for dis
tinguished gallantry, is looking well,
after his wounding. He is every inch
soldier.
Appearances Changed.
Colonel Nebeker thinks Major Grant
is thinner, grayer and more grizzled
than when he went away. Captain
Wedgewood is as always a cheerful
fighter
OF the enlisted men. Senator Neb-
eker found Quartermaster A. L. Will
liams looking better than he has ap-
peared for years. Sergeant John Mer-
edith is as merry as though he had
been at a picnic, and Private George
Rowland, the young miner from Mer-
cur. has turned gray in his years ex-
perience Angus K. Nicholson has lost
his long hair and never looked more
robust nor happier in his life. Badly"
Parker is as dapper as when he sold
shoes at the u. c. NJ. /. Ralph Collett
has mustache and goatee that give
him the appearance of hrigand. Jar
vey Dusenberry and Billy" Nelson are
also like two typical veteran soldiers
who know no fear.
Colonel Nebeker was astounded to
see what a difference, a years war
service in the tropics makes in the
looks of many of the boys.
Speaking of Ethan Allen, Senator
Nebeker said he had heard the SER
geant had obtained his discharge in
Manila and remained there.
In the senator's opinion, the boys
may be mustered out sooner than ex-
pected, and he believes il would be
well to have all arrangements for their
reception and entertainment completed
next week.

ONE OF BERESFORD'S YARNS.

Lord Charles Beresford's speech on
the Kitchener grant was frightened
by the following story, which, how
ever, has been told before:
"a great sheikh was captured and
brought before a distinguished gener-
al who said of the Mahdi, Is this man
a man of God?' Certainly said the
sheikh. How do you know?' was
asked. Because he performs miracles.
Does hep asked the general. What
miracles has he performed lately?'
Well replied the sheikh, he came
down to Khartoum and wanted 20 go
to Omdurman. He had no boat, but
he prayed and an alligator came out
of the Nile and carried him out to
Omdurman.' The distinguished gen.
eral said, Did you see it?' oh, no,
replied the sheikh, but people told me
who did see it. The general happened
to have a glass eye, and he said to the
man, If I took out one of my eyes,
fiicked it in the air, caught it, and put
it back again, would you think l ought
to be a Mahdi?' Yes said the sheikh.
The general took out his glass eye,
threw it up, and, catching it as it fell,
put it back again. The sheikh fell on
his knees and said, God is great; you
must be a Mahdi.'

Latest Move Of Peoples
Ice Company.
Said to Have Secured Control of
dance Of Ice Assured.

The Peoples Ice Company has APP
piled TO the Cabinet for permission to
amend its charter. Just what the
proposed amendments are will not be
known until after the Cabinet passes
on the application, which will not be
until President Dole returns from
Kauai.
1t seems to be understood that this
application is in connection with re-
cent large purchases of the stock of the
Hawaiian Electric Company by par
ties known to have the control of the
stock of the Peoples Ice Company.
The latter is a very close corporation
and it has been accommodating a very
large surplus, so large, in fact, that
| those not in the secret have wondered
why the company has been boarding
up money instead of paying it out in
dividends. The secret, however, is out
now, since it has become known that
the large purchases of Hawaiian Elec-
| trio stock made in the past few weeks
has been for account of the Peoples
Ice Company or its principal stock
holders, which amounts to the same
thing.
When the Hawaiian Electric Com
pany started it's cold-storage business
| it threatened to dispose of its surplus
| ice about town. This did not suit the
MANAGEMENT of the Peoples Ice Com
pany and negotiations were entered
into by which the latter agreed to
purchase all the surplus ice made by
the cold-storage concern at the fixed
price of Sc per ton, thus securing
monopoly of the retail ice trade. To
show that this has been lucrative one
only needs to calculate the difference
between buying at Sc and selling at $40
per ton, with expenses reduced to
minimum.
For some months past, however, the
cold-storage demands have consumed
more ice than was anticipated when
the Hawaiian Electric plant was put
in, and the surplus ice has been bare
| ly sufficient to supply the town, with
out taking into consideration the in
creased demand from shipping and the
army transports.
To protect itself the Peoples Ice
Company had either to start up it's own
ice-making plant again on a greatly
enlarged plan and with new and i'm
proved machinery, at an expense esti-
mated by some at $4,000, or endeavor
to obtain control of sufficient stock of
the Hawaiian Electric Company to
throw the management into their
hands. 1t would seem as though the
latter plan has been agreed on and
has been quietly carried into effect.

At the Orpheum.

There was crowded house and a
change of program at the Orpheum
last night. All the old favorites were
at their best and the new talent proved
themselves artists in their respective
lines. The same program will be pre-
scented tonight.

A CROWD HEARS WEBER.
Hundreds Remain at the Ate,
Meeting, Seeking Salvation.

Evangelist Weber preached to an
overlooking congregation at the Sixth
street Methodist Church last night, and
after the general meeting was over
there was a second sermon to all who
had expressed desire to- be saved.
There was less of humor last night
than heretofore, the talk being more
of personal appeal to those of the
congregation who desired to reflect on
their wrongs and ponder over the
transitory nature of earthly ties. The
speaker appealed to the heart rather
than to the logical faculties, drawing
many pictures Of wrecked homes and
ruined lives.
Come up here, you downcast and
wandering boy" he would say, land
let me take the place of your mother,
for Weber has love enough for you
ALL"
His power last night seemed to be in
continuous action, whether physical or
mental His frequent gestures, his mo-
bile face, his flexible voice-all con-
spired to hold the attention
Several hundred remained at the
after meeting, having expressed them
selves as anxious to seek salvation.
Those who remained became greatly
interested, and it is probable that there
will be a number of conversions during
the week.
