SAN FRANCISCO July 26.-William
A. Purdy, an insurance man of Homo
lulu and Major in the Hawaiian mill
tary establishment under the provision
al government, arrived here on the
steamer China yesterday. After going
ashore at the Mail dock he made his
way, without much loss of time to the
City Hall where he procured a license
to marry Miss Anita Christal, also of
Honolulu. Later he engaged apartments
at the st. Francis Hotel, where Miss
Christal has been a guest for several
weeks. The wedding will take place
within few days, but the day has not
been fixed as yet. Just now the pros
pective bride is awaiting the arrival of
friends from the East who are coming
to the ceremony. Miss Christal is the
daughter of the late DR.. Christal of
Honolulu. Both of her parents are dead,
and she inherited a large fortune from
her mother. She enjoys a wide popular
ity in Honolulu society and also has
many friends in California. Her ap-
preaching marriage, however, will be a
genuine surprise to many of her friends,
inasmuch as the prospective bride and
groom decided to have a quiet wedding
in this city without taking many Of
their friends into their confidence. Ma

WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator
Foraker of Ohio will leave soon for San

chairman of the Senate Committee on
Pacific Islands and Porto Rico, and is
interested in securing needed legsla-
ton for Hawaii. Foraker was asked
whether he intended to make speeches
while West, and he replied: 1T has
been suggested that the people of San
Francisco would like to have me ad-
dress them, and 1 shall certainly take
pleasure in doing so if the Republican
Committee arranges matters. My OBJ

dispatches declare a third member OF
the family is seriously ill. The fact
that the father and two sons are so

the similarity of names, has probably
caused the conflicting messages to be

the illness of R"dolph Spreckels is res

possible Claus CpreCkels, father of Ru-

Stion. But the fact that James d.

to the belief that the message referred

orders issued by the Navy Depart
ment to officers, and received here in
the mail are very significant. Orders
to men who had been assigned to duty
on the mainland, have been revoked
and the officers directed to proceed i'm
mediately to the Far East by either
he Buffalo or the first passenger steam
er.
Evidently the Navy Department con-
siders the situation in the Far Feast of
a critical character and is dispatching
all the available officers to that quarter.

While there have been no further de-
velopments i'm the Russian seizures Of

that the blind cave creatures are de- scended from the others which originally lived in the light of day.
 An ordinary proof of this is that though TO faintest ray marks the difference be- tween day and darkness in the depths they live in, yet 1t has been ascertained beyond shadow of doubt that those whose ancestors were nocturnal in their habits still prefer to move about during those hours when the surface of the earth Is in darkness.
 Numbers of the different kinds of fsh are known to live in the gloomy rivers
 and lakes which exist in all large caves
 At San Marcos, Tex, borlngs were re- gently made to provide a water supply for some fresh hatcheries. At a depth Of 1SS feet great stream of water was struck which shot up at the rate of 1 200 gallons minute. With 1t came thou sands of tiny shrimp like creatures and also large number of curious little pale colored reptiles, provided with long tails and each having four legs. These tiny | monsters were absolutely eyeless. The only trace that they ever possessed such organs are two little black spots above the nostrils.
 A similar creature known as the olm inhabts the rivers in the Austrian caves already mentioned. In the depths of the Planina Cave, nearly q mile and a half from the entrance of the olm is most abundant. The waters are fairly alive with them, and when some five years ago, the Archduke Ferdinand paid vis- it to this ave, a net was let down and a number O. the little reptiles caught for his benefit

THE VALUE OF BEAUTY.
.hat is a woman's beauty worth

What is a woman's beauty worth?
 Aesthetically, of course. it is a pleas ure forever, and the woman who can really enjoy contemplating her reflection in the mirror must find life perpetual picnic for which there can be no money equivalent. Neither is the solid inward satisfaction one derives from being gazed at wherever one goes by admiring eyes to be estimated in dollars and cents, but apart from the qualification to her own vanity what Is a womans beauty worth in cold, hard cash?
 A Chicago working woman, employed in a factory, whose face was cut by an exnloding bottle so that 1t required five stitches from sergeon to sew up the wound, has sued her employer for slo,ooO for alleged damages to her good looks.
 Is this amount excessive, or is 1t only fair recompense for the loss the lady has sustained?
 This Ia A matter of vital moment to women. for in deciding this important question the jury before whom the case Is tried will not only have to take Into consideration this individual womans ap- pearance before the accident and after wards, and estimate the loss that shc sustained in an impaired complexlon' ot a damaged profile. They will, In Way pass upon the value that beauty IS to the entire feminine sex, and this raises q most interesting proolem-how much does a woman's looks, really, ana actu- ally affect her success in lileY
 Beauty has always been considered more valuab.s asset with women than with men, and the ssl who, like fhe milk maid, can say ''my face Is my fortune, has ever been considered to have suffi- cient dowry. This is pa-t'cuarly true Tn America, where instead of saving UT thelf money to provide their daughter With T dot In order to marry her off, parents oi moderate means invariably spend theiI income in dressing the girl so as to en- nance her beauty, and the girls looks are depended upon to do the rest and pro vide for her in life. Thus crudely do we express the conviction tlat beauty is all the working capital that Womdt needs.
 Presupposing-wh is quite true-thai matrimony is the career that appeals most strongly to women and that almost all of them would follow if given a suit. able opportunity, the first question tha presents itself in considering the sub ject is how much does a girls chance; of making a good match depend upor her looks? One Is inclined to say, off hand, entirely for beauty draws men bs single hair whether 1t Is false or natu ral, peroxided or not. When a man hears of a woman for the first time he doe: not ask ''Is she intelligent? Is she amia ble? Is she good?" But "Is she pretty?'
 That is enough. She may be as dull as meat axe He can listen entrancet for hours to platitudes If the lips that ut ter them is the shape of a Cupid's bow She may be a spiteful little cat and as

TALKS BY DOROTHY DIX

sordidly selfish and greedy as they make them. No man ever suspects a woman wiht pink and white complexion of being anything but an angel. With men, beauty in women Is a satisfactory sub stitute for brains and heart and the girl who has a perfect profile has hundreo times as much chance to catch gooo husband as a girl who is perfect mooei of all the virtues. It is true that men do fall in love with ugly women, and marry them, but this is only when the homely woman had all the odds In her favor and got about a mile the start of the good locker. In anything like an even race for a mans affections the pretty woman always wins out.
 Nor are men alone hypnotized py beauty. Women are slaves to It In lneH own sex, and the woman who wants the backing and support of other women can have no such valuable quality as good looks. This is strange and illogical put true. By what process of involuntary selection do we women chose proteges! By their appearance solely Y IS the pretty girl to whom some rici woman gives frocks and frills. It Is the preely girl who wants to study music TOT "noni we get up concerts to which we force
 
 It is the pretty girl in need of work TOT whom we bestir ourselves to secure a situation. None of us ever know now really sympathetic we are until we pe- hold beauty in distress, and 1t Is an actuai fact that when we see a pretty Woinah crying we all, whether we are men UT women, have an impulse to as kher to weep upon our breast, while we tell an urlv woman not to make fool or ner- self
 There is, naturally, no more reason why a pretty woman should be helped than an urIv one-only we do it. There is an in stinctive feeling In us that the homely sister can scuffle for herself, and we let her do it while we strew the path with rosse for a probably less deserving wo- man for no reason on earth except that heaven has blessed her with peacny cheeks an dgolden hair, and large ius- trous eyes, In this way good looks nave a tangible, practical value, that really amounts to what politicians call "a pull with society.
 In business a woman's looks are most important factor in her success. Leaving out of the discussion professions like the stage, where beauty is a requisite even above talent, or callings like that of the cloak and dress model, where twenty inch waist and a thirty-six inch bust measure and general air of style are imperatively demanded by the advertise ments. it is true that in a just ordinary, every day avocation, a pretty face IS a woman's best letter of recommendation when she applies for Job. Men deny that they are influenced by woman's looks in employing her, but nevertheless it is almost impossible for an elderly ugly woman. no matter how competent she Is, to get situation in an office or store. It Is doubtless a coincidence, as married men are always explaining to their wives, that stenographers are always young and pretty, and graceful but 1t is coincidence that happens with such

DIE WHEN EXPOSED TO LIGHT.
Strange Fish and Insects That Live
 in Perpetual Darkness.

From Tit-bits.
 The cavern beetle was first dis covered some seventy years ago in an Austrian cave, the grotto of Acelsberg. One specimen only was caught, and, though it's discoverer offered prize of &5 for another, it was fourteen years be- fore the second was found.
 The cavern beetle has little round body, very long legs and absolutely no eyes at all. Brought out from It's gloomy haunts into the light of the sun, 1t dies Jalmost immediately. Yet, In It's pitch dark home, far beneath the surface of the earth, # moves with as great a rapid ity and certainty as any of it's eyed rela- tives on the upper soil
 To make up for its lack of sight 1t is provided with antennae of extraordinary length and delicacy. By means of these it feels It's way over the rough surface Of the stone and hunts it's prey-other smaller blind insects-with great rapldity and absolute certainty.
 The cavern beetle has Its enemies The blothrus Ca species of scorpion) and the great eyeless spider hunt 1t remorse- lessly Prince Khevenhuller who thoroughly explored these caves some years ago, describes 1t as 8 most extra ordinary sight to watch by the light of candle scopion, absolutely eyeless hunting a beetle, equally blind. along the cavern wall Although the beetle was several feet in front of the scorpion, and divided from it by a Assure in the rock yet the scorpion tracked it with absol- ute and almost appalling certainty.
 The spider found in these caves s of a lovely Ivory white, and is able, like other insects which inhabit the same snbterranean depths, to run very rap- idly and Ind its way with as positive certainty as if 1t had eyes and light to use them. Like several of the others it too perishes If taken out of the cave. Sunlight seems to wther and shrivel up these insects. just as though they had been placed in front of hot fire
 Yet, in snite of this fact, it is known
