NO MORE ROMANCE IN WAR.
Lens Makers and Electricians the Real
Heroes.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
In spite of all that the military critics
may say, war as a romantic occupation is
doomed. The killing of men on the field of
glory In days long past is still pictured as
a pretty pastime.' as Napoleon said. But
,, the favorite old figures of tradition are fast
disappearing before the steady advance of
science.
Today Browning's boy rider who was shot
| in two while bearing news Of the capture of
| Ratisbon to the emperor would be a matter
of-fact telegrapher sitting quietly at his
| instrument. and Beranger's griZzled vet
eran of the guard returning to die with the
colors would be barred at the recruiting Of
flee because he could not tell blue from
green without glasses.
Gen. Greedy grew enthusiastic the other
day while describing before the Military
| Service Institution at Governors Island
| how the Japanese had wired whole
| army spread out before the enemy. He
quoted approvingly a war correspondent
who said that the clicking of the telegraph
| instruments at his headquarters meant
more to Kuroki than the sound of the guns.
What room will be left for romance when
| the general commanding the army of the
| right can telephone to the commander-in-
chiefs office forty miles away to have ten
regiments and four batteries expressed to
/ him by special train? He might as well be
ordering dry goods or hardware, for all the
sentiment to be got out of such a situation
Kuropatkin's headquarters railway car
riage and touring cars for side trips are
only indications Of what may be done when
| his methods are perfected When that time
comes the dashing cavalry leader brevetted
for gallantry the field of action will
have nothing to boast of except that he
burst seven tires while charging across the
tack mines of an enemy two counties away.
There will be no more Sheridans rides.
When a lookout officer stationed In an inn
pregnable bomb-proof with automatic
range finder shall direct by wireless tele-
phone the firing of smokeless guns OF hid
den batteries against an invisible enemy
war will degenerate into a mere scientific
test between rival lens-inakers and electri-
cal supplies concerns. The last step will be
a heroless war and a pensionless retired
list

Costly Bed for a Hawaiian Princess.

COSTLY 6Su IOX u x4uWdA = AAAASSSS'
Honolulu Letter to the San Francisco Examiner.
bed which exceeds in costliness and
lavishness the most pretentious dreams
of even the old Hawaiian rulers has just
been completed for the Princess Kawan-
anakoa 1t Is made of koa wood, one of
the two rare kinds of these islands. The
cost OF the bed, aside from any of the ex-
pensive fittings, will be close to $500.
1t is a four-post couch, the posts being
nearly ten feet in height. They originally
were eighteen inches In diameter and
have been most deliberately carved by
hand.
The design of carving includes the Ha-
waiian fruits, Hawaiian coat-of-arms and
maili lima leis, the wreaths OF green
leaves and yellow flowers always worn
by Hawaiian royalty. The carving on
each post alone cost $500, aside from the
preparation of the wood. The logs for the
bed were secured in the wild forests of
the island OF Hawaii, and months were
spent in finding pieces of wood to match
each other, the idea being to secure per-
feet pieces OF wood.
The Princess Kawananakoa Is the
daughter of the late James Campbell,
one OF the wealthfest Of Hawaiian sugar
planters. He was the central figure In a
sensational abduction case in San Fran
cisco some years ago, having been kid
mapped and held q number OF days for RAM
eom.

APPLICATIONS FOR PARDON.
Petition of Diller B. and Samuel A.
Croft in Hands of District Attorney.

1t is understood that Diller B. Croft, con-
victed jointly with his brother, Samuel A.
Croft, August w. Machen and George e.
Lorenz, of conspiracy in connection with
the Post Office Department irregularities,
has applied for pardon. An application for
pardon was filed about a week ago by
Samuel A. Croft. The Department of Jus
tice has referred both applications to the
United States attorney for the District of
Columbia for an expression Of his views
thereon.
Justice Jeter c. Pritchard of the United
States circuit court, who. as an associate
justice Of the Supreme Court of the District
of Columbia, presided at the Mackenzie
renz-Groff trial, 1t was learned today, has
also been requested to recommend to the
Department Of Justice whether or not the
applications of the Croft brothers for par
don should be denied
United States Attorney Beach will prob
ably forward his report to the department
not later than next Monday, as it is his in
tention to appear in the court of appeals
the following day and ask that the mandate
in the Post Office Department case be sent
down forthwith.

Alexandria and Mount Vernon Railway
Company. beginning with the salaries OF
employees in the Office in Washington. 1t Is
understood that the company intends to
extend the reduction to the entire force OF
conductors, motormen and trolieymen.
These classes will be affected, according to
the reports, when the new equipment re-
Gently ordered has been received. The pay
of the motormen is now ~ cents an hour;
that of the conductors u cents an hour,
and that of the trolleymen 1924 cents. Tn
til the first of last MONTH it is said, the
trolleymen receiced only 101a cents an hour,
when an increase was ordered, the COM
pany having experienced difficulty in get
ting either men or boys for the position at
those wages Considerable dissatisfaction
is expected, as matter of course, as a
result of the reduction.
General Matters.
Thieves entered and ransacked the res
idence of Mrs. Cassius F. Lee on Duke
street last week during the absence of Mrs.
Lee and her daughter, Miss Elizabeth
Lloyd Lee, who were in Washington. When
Mrs. Lee returned she found that several
of the bureau drawers had been moved to
the cellar, where they had been searched
for valuables. Fortunately she had taken
the precaution before leaving her home to
place most of her jewelry in a safe deposit
vault.
Col X. Kemper, superintendent of the
city schools, has been notified that upon
proper recommendations a scholarship at
Bethel Academy will be awarded to cne

A Waiter Who Never Took Tip.

James Riley, veteran waiter of Sacra

was a well-known character of the frontier
type as dignffied as a United States Sen
ator and as polite as French diplomat,
but quiet in manner and speech, respectful
and respected among those with whom he
came In contact.
When asked why he refused to take
tip from those upon whom he waited he re-
piled: II am no mendicant. and when my
employers cannot pay me enough salary to
keep me above that sort of grating / will
