SWAHG0S BACK
FROM HONOLULU

Mrs. James H. Swango and chill
dren spent twelve weeks in Homo
lulu with Mrs. Swango's sister, Mrs.
Denham Barnes, and husband. who
is a physician. Judge Swango
joined them for ten days. stay on
the island and accompanied them
home. Mrs. Swango says the
most wonderful experience of their
whole tour was the trip to the
volcano Kilauea, the worlds great
est living volcano. 1t is a three
days trip, steamers sailing twice a
week, with an automobile trip Of
thirty miles to the crater.
This crater, unlike that of We
suvius, is easily approached and
one can get so near as to look
down at the living fire pit and see
the flames rolling about. One of
the stunts all tourists do to prove
they have been so near this FIRE pit,
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1915-12-01

is to take post cards and scorch
them by holding them into creavices
in the lava and sending them home.
Mrs. Swango says the ascent is
so gradual that one never feels he
is going up mountain; in fact
the volcano is not on a mountain
peak, but comparatively level
ground. The most exquisite wild
flowers bloom along the drive until
very near the crater She saw
fuchias and nasturiums among
these flowers, also magnificent tree
ferns. These ferns are literally
trees, something peculiar to their
locality.
One of the features of Honolulu,
a city about the size Of Terre
Haute, Ind, is the ample yards
about the homes. There is nc
crowding of houses as is becoming
the case here. In her sisters din

the caressingly balmy climate there,
it makes one lazy, and then, too,
there are many insects. The trees,
while most decorative. are not
majestic like our elms, oaks and
maple.
There are no flies at Honolulu,
but many varieties of ants. These
ants eat the fly larvae but they also
are fond of food stuffs and silk
dresses. DIR. and Mrs. Barnes have
large circle of acquaintance
among the army people stationed
on the island. The wives enter
tanned Mrs. Cowgirl and Mrs.
Swango with lovely teas and card
parties. Mrs. Barnes is always at
home on Monday afternoons, xhen
she serves ice tea and cakes. The
governor of the islands is an Am
erican but the policemen are ma
tives.
A stop at the Grand Canyon of
Arizona was one Of the treats of
the summers outing. The party
attended the San Francisco fair,
both going and returning. The

None is needed, as it is never cold
enough for a fire and, strange as
it may seem for a tropical climate,
there are no thunder nor wind
storms. II rains frequently, often
when the sun is shining, rainbows
being almost an everyday sight /;
also lunar bows, as they call those
that can be seen on moonlight
nights when a shower comes up.
No one minds these showers, as
they are soon over and keep every
thing fresh and green.
Sea bathing, Of course, was one
Of the delights Of the Swango
party, as it is Of every tourist.
Going to the beach for swim in
the afternoons is regular part Of
the days schedule. The water is
always warmer than the atmos-
phere and so heavy with salt as
to make it easy to do all sorts of
water stunts, besides receiving the
stimulating effect of the salt.
The grown-ups Of the Swango
party did not see the deposed queen
Lilinokalani, but the children did
She was the eighth queen and the
last TO occupy the throne Of Hawaii,
being deposed in 1895. When the
United States took over the islands
and formed a territory of them,
Liliuokalani was given pension
for life. The queen has hand
some home and once month ma
tives who are loyal TO her give her
concert. The children of the
Swango party were gong by her
mouse one aIteroon when TINS con-
cert was being given and stopped at
the gate to listen. They saw the
Queen seated on her porch. Liluoka-
lani is a musician and has composed
some of the Hawaiian music, now
familiar on Victrolas.
Mrs. Swango, like other discern
ing travellers, says she finds when
one impartially weighs in the bal

Hotel M'ALPN Helps
SAVE-A-HOME FUND
Entire Proceeds of Restaurant on
February 8 Will Be Do
mated to Cause.

New York, Jan. 29.-The entire pro-
ceeds of the mezzanine restaurant of the
Hotel McAlpin during the luncheon on
the Save-a-H Home Fupd by the hotel man
agement. Lucius NJ. Boomer, managing
director of the hotel, generously offered
the receipts of the restaurant, declaring
he believed the work being done by the
Save-a-Home Fund is filling a long-felt
want
Mr. Boomer not only offered the re-
ceipts of the luncheon. but also persuaded
Nahan Franko. the orchestra conductor,
to arrange a special program for the
Save-a-HOme day in the McAlpin. His
face lit up with the expression of human
sympathy when he spoke of the manage
ment's donation, saying:
Disaster and misfortune in any coun-
try has always appealed to the sympathy
of Americans, and this nation has always
responded most generously with moral
and financial aid in the hour of need.
No better example of this could be
found than the hundreds of thousands of
dollars in gold, foodstuffs and clothing
and many other presents sent by the
Americans in shiploads to the sufferers
of every one of the warning nations in
Europe. Natiantlity plays no part in our
charity.
Speaking the other day with one of the
special representatives of the Evening
Nails Save-a-Hdrne Fund, the misery
and suffering of our own people right
here in the city of New York was brought
home forcibly to me. Ever since then l
have been thinking of some way to aid
this wonderful movement of helping our
own people.
In this big hotel of ours where thou
sands of people live and dine daily, I
saw the opportunity by donating the pro-
ceeds of this luncheon to the Save-a-
Home Fund. l have spoken to Mr..
Frankie, whose orchestra plays daily in
the mezzanine restaurant and have asked
him to give a special program during that
luncheon. He received the idea most en-
Enthusiastically.
He promised to augment his orchestra
to the size of a full symphony orchestra,
and will arrange a splendid concert.
Great artists from the opera and concert
stage will be asked to volunteer their
services and we have already secured the
assurances of several OF them to sing
during the luncheon.
Every cent that is taken in in the mez-
canine restaurant. during the luncheon,
for food, wine, cigars, liquors, etc, will
be given to the fund, and while I sin
cerely hope the fund will receive a
sum, I also hope this ex-
ample will encourage many others to
contribute to this most worthy cause"

Japanese Warnings.

TIL japanese early sought for the
truth. and their earliest knowledge
was the principle that their strength
depended on a healthy stomach. They
eat very little and practice ''Jiu-Jitsu"
muscular exercise from youth up.
The stomach is the center Of the body
from which radiates our vitality, siren
uosity. our fighting strength. A
healthy stomach turns the food We eat
into nourishment for the blood stream
and the nerves. DR.. Pierce's Golden

In place of the impurities, the arte-

Walter E. Mack Shows How His
Novel Fire Escape Works.

Walter E Mack, inventor of a novel
fire escape, yesterday jumped OF the roof
of the Munsey Building, alighting on the
ground, eleven stories below without the
slightest jar. He did it so nicely that
the jumping fever caught the crowd of
spectators, and scores pleaded for an op-
portunity to try the stunt.
John Floyd, a youngster; J. E. Phillips,
a painter. and several others likewise
accomplished the feat without harm. The
jumpers tied one end of the steel wire to
the railing on the roof, put the life belts
under their arms. and leaped OF into
space. They descended at a uniform
speed of FIVE feet a second.

slain Wife WAS NOTED
singer; MURDERER dies
Ward Snyder's Victim Had Divorced
Arthur Beresford -MiIIionaire's
Son Poison Suicide.

Houston, Tex, Jan. 2s.-ward S.
Snyder. prohigate son of a Pittsburgh
millionaire, died here today from a
dose OF poison taken after numbering
his wife as she lay i'll in her room In a
local. hospital
The only explanation Of the murder
and suicide obtainable was contained
in a short ante-mortem statement by
Snyder during a brief interval of con-
sciousness. He declared he was tenn
porarily insane yesterday when he
slashed his beautiful wife to death. He
told how he won her when she was
Mrs. Arthur Beresford. obtained a dl-
vorce in Oklahoma, and married her in
New Orleans a year ago.
She could not forget her three chill
dren, who lived with Beresford, how
ever, Snyder declared. She constantly
begged to return to them. Finally he
consented to her going to Chicago for
several months, and when she came to
Houston to undergo an operation she
brought along her youngest son.
In the meantime intense jealousy.
aggravated by prolonged dissipation,
crazed him, Snyder said.
Mrs. Snyder was a musician who had
attained countrywide reputation as
composer of Indian pieces. She was
one OF the most distinguished graduates
of the New England Conservatory Of
Music at Boston, becoming ans opera
singer and later a vaudeville star.
The chief of police has sent for Mrs.
Snyder's former husband. Arthur Beres-
ford, the operate basso and singing
instructor of Chicago. Beresford is now
on his way here.
Chicago, Jan. 9-Arthur Beresford
left here early today for Houston in
answer to the following telegram he
received from the chief Of police there:
Your former wife was murdered here
today. Ward S. Snyder, who mar
ried her since your divorce, is dying of
poison he took after killing her. Your
five-year- son is also here"
Before taking a train for Texas, Mr..
Beresford said that he did not know
when his former wife and Snyder
were married. He said that his wife
had obtained a divorce from him last
January, charging non-support. They
had three children, Evelyn. ten years
old; John, nine, and George, five All
the children have been living with their
father at 6024 Harper avenue.
"A few weeks ago said Mr.. Beres-
ford, " she wrote to me and asked me
to send our son George down to see
her. 1 have never objected to this ar
rangement and the boy is there now"
