lcicles Make Trouble

IT Wo men were walking past
downtown skyscraper the other
day when a sharp report star
hatbrim smashed and his face scratched
by an object that had fallen from the
building. when they recovered their
composure they looked about to see
what had caused the trouble and they
discovered on the sidewalk an icicle
ments.
The man whose hat had been dam
aged was trembling from the scare but
he was averse to making a complaint
AS he figured, he was lucky in escaping
serious injury and he advised getting
out Of the danger zone as soon as he
and his companion could do so.
His friend was more indignant about
the matter and advised entering the
building and placing the matter before
least incumbent ON the agent TO supply
new hat. and he thought that that
would be letting him Off easy.
So they entered the building and were
directed to the superintendents Office.
That official glanced up from his desk
and noticing the man with the smashed
hat in his hand was quick to divine
the reason for the strangers call.
whats this. an icicle case?" in
CURED the superintendent. Hat
smashed? Well, am glad it was moth
ing more serious. Just wait minute
and will make out an order for a new
hat. for | know it is the least that
can do for YOU"
The superintendent promptly filled
out the order for "A new hcadpiece. Then
he passed it to the man whose hat had
been ruined. remarking:
THAT is only one of the troubles we
have to contend with in operating this
building. Supcrintcndents of all tall
buildings experience the same trouble
in the winter. We take great pains To
keen the iCClcs off the structure So
they cannot topple down on pedestrians
and we have a force of men continually
working on the troublesome ice. but
with all our caution and labor We can
not work fast enough To keep up with
them. They form So quickly that We
cannot prevent some of them from fall
ing to the street.
1--WE do everything in our power to
lessen the danger by paying particular
attention to the large iciClcs, because
we realize that some Of them are so
big and heavy that If they fell on per

Naturally, If We did not have snow
or rain accompanying the frost we
would not lie bothered with iCicles, for
then there would be- no water to freeze.
II is much easier to handle the situa-

men up to the roof and have the snow

favor Of one older and possibly doomed

Ugly stories were circulated as to
how Arnold got the money he spent SO
freely. There had been charges against
him In connection with his Canadian
campaign. There IL no reason to believe
he was personally dishonest in the
affair, but he had not kept his accounts
straight. He was "a better soldier than
bookkeeper.
Arnold ignored the gossip and pro-
ceeded with his lovemaking. The girl
was shy. as girls Of her age are likely
to be. but that only made him the more
pressing. At last she consented and
they were married early In April, 1879.
Two weeks before the wedding day Arm
old bought q fine old country estate
called Mount Pleasant in Paramount
Park. This was to be his country home.
His town house was to be the old Penn
mansion which had been built by Gov.
Richard Penn. grandson OF William
Penn,
The marriage was as great an affair
as Arnold could make 1t. but some
sturdy old patriots refused to attend
Marriage only seemed to increase Arm

GERS OF the army or visiting celebrities
from abroad. As Arnold had lived in
true republican simplicity before his
marriage his new style OF living wds
ascribed to the influence Of his wife.
This marked the beginning Of his
downfall. The more extravagances Arm

lishments would have taken $4,000 a
year. far more imposing sum then
than 1t is to-day, and that takes no
account Of jewels and gowns for his
wife.
The beautiful Mrs. Arnold dressed
exquisitely. She was the rage and the
fashion, and incidentally the most talked
about woman in Pennsylvania. OF
course the stories OF Arnolds riotous
expenditures were common talk in the
army. He had many bitter enemies
and many earnest friends. His enemies

As a soldier he had spark Of genius.

thought as to Just what will be the
best way in which to Investigate the
condition of roads in the Koolaupoko

supervisors, was decided upon at a
meeting yesterday afternoon.
The poor condition of the thorough
fares on Windward Oahu first was
called to the attention of the commit
tee by a letter from F. M. SwanZy
and, since fits receipt, many COM
plants have reached the committee
on the same matter. Although the

the funds were either inadequate or
were not used. The committee on
