In the times of classic Greece great

the scene of the return home of such a
hero. At the recent Olympic games in
the Stadium at Athens there were
scenes which recalled those of ancient
times. When Billy Sherring. the Cana

who had gone out to meet him. The
prince ran by his side and cheered him
on as he ran between the lines of spec

arena. The thrOng which filed the
Stadium was greatly excited and cheer

corted by the prince. approached the
royal box and received bouquet from
the queen of Greece. The race was
over a course of % miles and 10

THE ''MAJOR''
IS PLACED
He Was a Mere Milk
Drummer, and
Only That.

Now this is the aftermath of the
story of Major F. C. Vincent. Alas,
and once more alas, and still again
alas that fate should deal one man
so many unkind knocks. 1t comes. the
aftermath, from away back. Way
back in the town of Racine. Wis
consin, a town of note in song and
story, is the matted milk factory Of
Horlck, a business concern of probity
and standing known throughout the
world. Naturally, being business
concern OF probity and standing, the
Horlick Matted Milk factory keeps up
with the doings of the people who
handle IT'S product, and so in the last
mail from the Coast there came to
big drug concern in town, from the
Horlicks, courteously worded letter
which begins something after this
wise:
Our representative has Informed us
of his recent pleasant visit to Homo
luiu,' and then goes on in page to
thank the firm in question for the
courtesieS extended to the Horlfck
man. And the Horlick man, of course,
was the Major There has been no
other Horlick man here. The Major,
who came roaring of thousands of
troops and batteries of artillery. who
was to make transports of the Pacific
Mail and Oceanic boats to carry troops
for the invasion of China; who intend
ed to ballast the boats with siege guns
and sho. and shell: who was going to
select quarters here for a corps of
troops, whom it was deemed desirable
to station out in the country that they
might not be contaminated by contact
with the wicked city folks of Honolulu;
the Major, who said he had been
judge advocate general at Manila, thus
dwindles down to where he really be-
longs, and takes station as a drum
mer, who posed before a steamer load
of people that ne might merely seem
great in a town that he had come
thinking to find Jay"
He was not a secret service man
any farther than the process of max
ing matted milk is secret. He was
not even a rich tourist, amusing him
self at the expense of Honolulu. He
was drummer, only that and moth
ing more. And there have been drum
mers whose stories have had much
greater vogue. But what funny idea
of pleasure the Major must have
along with some other funny ideas.

DID ARGYLL
SHOOT K|NG2
Strange Story of Injury
to His Majesty of
England.

Percolating through diplomatic
channels. by various ways, story has
reached Honolulu to the effect that
the lameness of King Edward VII,
which was announced by the cables to
be due to a fall sustained in the hunt
ing field in November last, was really
caused by a gunshot in the leg, in
f1icted by the Duke of Argyll. The
wound, of course. was given acci-
dentally The King and the Duke were
out shooting together, the tale runs,
and Edward was made target of
by his Scottish brother-in-law.
The cablegram which announced that
the King would be crippled for life
was received here in the morning of
February %, and was follows:
LONDON, February 25.-It has been
discovered that King Edward broke
his tendon achilles in a fall that he
sustained in the hunting field in No
vember last, and that he will be lamed
for life
that the King had been thrown from
a horse, or had sustained some other
accidental hurt, deemed trivial at the
time, but turning out in the eventu-
ality to be much more serious than had
been at first supposed. How far wrong
this inference was is shown by the
following cablegram sent to the New
York Sun by it's London correspond
ent, and printed on the same day that
the cable to Honolulu was published
ANOTHER STORY.
"LONDON, Feb. 24.-It is no longer
possible to ignore the unsa atisfactory
condition of King Edwards health. Re-
ports of this nature always cause his
Majesty annoyance, and usually pro-
duce emphatic denials from the palace
officials. These rumors have been par
ticularly numerous of late, and the
denials likewise.
THE fact remains that for some
time his Majesty's condition has given
his medical advisers some anxiety 1t
is persistently said that he is suffer-
ing from an affection which entails,

BEET SUGAR MATTERS.

In reference to the sugar beet in
terests of California in which Col.
Macfarlane and London friends are in
terested, he said:
''One of the beet sugar companies
in which we are interested is the first
in California to adopt steam cultiva-
ton exclusively and the tonnage has
increased enormously, our sugar out
put from this particular estate
as result of steam cultivation, hav-
ing grown from 5000 tons a year to
10000 tons. On a capitaliza ton of
100000 the company is now paying at
the rate of Is per cent. a year divi-
dends and there has been enough profit
to ensure this rate being kept up for
three years to come. The net profit
per ton of sugar from the last crop
was SIS, which is considerably above
the average of Hawaiian plantations.
OF course, / am speaking only of the
beet sugar interests of California. !
know of only one Hawaiian sugar
company that has exceeded this net
profit, the Hawaiian Commercial AMI
Sugar Co., of Maui, which 1 believe
the year before last netted S27 ton."

, been on somewhat independent lines.
There have been three distinct
propositions talkd over in connection
With this property. One of these is the
building of a modern, fireproof hotel,
another is the erection of a modern
high-class apartment house, such as
they are now building in New York
and San Francisco in the vicinity Of the
city hotels, and the third proposition,
as the grounds are big enough for
the purpose, is to build both hotel
and an apartment house, the latter TO
accommodate families who desire TO
live near the seaside and the hotel for
the transient and tourist class. If the
last plan is adopted the apartment
house will be built in the middle of
the grounds and the hotel on the
beach front.
Il am, personally, very partial to the
apartment house and am at the pres
ent time living with my family at the
Luxor, one of the finest in San Fran
cisco. The advantage of these places Is
that, you may have your meals direct
from the caf< in the building by dumb
waiter connected with your own suite of
apartments, or you may do your own
housekeeping, as the suites are fur
nished with very attractive kitchens
and pantries and all cooking is done on
gas stoves
"One of these three plans will doubt
less be adopted for the Waikiki prop
erty. When 1 first bought it 1 intend
ed it for MY future private residence,
but as my business interests now re-
quire most of my time in California,
have agreed with my friends to car
ry out the hotel project if certain de-
tails about the lease can be agreed
upon.'
