MAYEWED HERO
WHO SAVED HER

SAN FRANCISCO, May 29.--In all
the whirl and turmoil of strife-torn
Mexico romance is not an absent fac
tor, judging from the tale related by
the refugees who arrived here yester-
day morning from the lower coast on
the Pacific Mailer City of Sydney.
Beauty is usually associated with
romance, between the covers of the
best sellers at any rate, ana this es-
sential quantity wasn't lacking in the
story woven at the end of the trying
voyage from the evolution-strlcken re-
public. In fact, it was there to prove
1t.
The principal in the romance talked
about by the Sydney's passengers was
one of two dashing senoritas who ar
rived on the steamer. They-the Sc
noritas-were the Misses Guadellpe
and Mercedes Escobeda, and the for
mer was the one with whom the story
was connected.
Strange to say, however, she let her
fellow travellers do all the talking and
had nothing in answer but dimpled
smiles and fascinating losses of proud
Castilian head.
Senorita Guadelipe, so the passen-
gers like to tell, comes here to be-

hero who not long ago rescued her

OUT
GENERAL WOOD
BY J. A. RREcKoNs.

Especial Correspondence of the Star.
WASHINGTON May 27.-Unusual
interest has been aroused in Congress
and in the war department over the
proposed amendment to the army ap.
preparation bill which proposes to
change the law regarding the detail
for chief of staff of the army. The
conferees of the Senate and House
have agreed on the provision and all
of the conferees have signed the re.
port except Representative Prince, Of
Illinois.
Some of the friends of General
Wood assert that the paragraph is
aimed to humiliate the chief of stan,
General Wood, and Secretary Stimson
as a reprisal in disposing of General
Ainsworth the former adjutant gen.
eral. 1t is intimated also that the
recommendation made by General
Wood, which was approved by Sec
rotary Stimson, for the abandonment
of practically all of the interior army
posts in the United States, led the
military committees of the House and
Senate to the conclusion that General
Wood has not that judgment and ex-
perience which the chief of STAFF of
the army should have in order to ad-
minister the affairs of that office sat
isfactorily for the benefit of the
army
Critics of the proposed law have
pointed out that would serve tc
prevent the President from appoint
ing as chief of STAFF distinguished Of
fcers who, like General Grant, Gen
eral Scott, General Sherman, and 9th
ers, had not served ten years with
troops prior to their appointment to
the grade Of brigadier general This
criticism is said to be unfounded
however because there is a proviso i'm
the proposed law which permits the

faults are old age and inability to

There are a number OF other worthy

The Kings Daughters Circle is ask
ing the aid Of Honolulans for this
project, not only from the standpoint
Of charity but from that Of justice
and right. It is pointed out that Ho'
nolulu has a home for aged Hawaii
ans and for people of other races as
we'll as hospitals for sufferers from
tuberculosis and other Ills, but it has
made no provision whatever for the
aged Europeans who have spent their
lives in faithful service and helped
to secure those who now have an
abundance, a part of their wealth.
II might be offered as an excuse
that until recently there were but few
aged and INDECENT Europeans in town

and that they were fairly well cared
for. but conditions have changed.
The aged persons who deserve Q
shelter and home in their declining
years are many of them laborers who
were brought here in the early sos
and COS of the last century for the
sugar plantations and who drifted in
to town after their usefulness to the
plantations had ceased. They took

deemed cruel, and in most cases i'm
possible to tear these old people
away from town and out Of the circle
OF their friends and acquaintances tc
send them to homes in the country.
It has therefore been considered es
sential that provision be made fol
them here. The municipality, which
generally looks after such matters
elsewhere, Is not in a position to dc
it's duty in this respect.
The Kings Daughters Circle has
undertaken the work which the com
munity has shirked, but the demands
made upon it have far exceeded It's
financial strength.
Confident that when the matter is
properly placed before the public
there will be an immediate and gen
crous response, the Circle has gone
ahead with its plans for an institution
which, like the Y. NJ. c. A. build
ing, will prove another monument to
the progressive spirit of the com
munity.

sTALAeMITE OF ICE.

1t is not often that one sees a coEs
umn of ice in the woods standing 80
feet in height like ghostly whita
monument. Such a column was re-
Gently to be seen in the vicinity OF
Schroon, N. Y. The column had the
appearance of a stalagmite of da7-
cling whiteness and it proved to be q
hollow pillar. The causes that gave
birth to this beautiful column of ice
were simple enough, although to the
uninitiated the puzzle was extremely
battling. The monstrous stalagmite
stood about halfway between an old
stock farm and the mountain reser-
voir which supplied spring water to
the barn. A vent plug was removed,
permitting a fine jet of water to shoot
up 80 feet into the air and gradual-.
ly build up hollow cylinder of ice.
The column proved great attrac-
ton, and created widespread inter-
est. People came from miles around
to see the curious spectacle.-Scien'
