IMIaatoa Work Adopted.
For months past "Miss Kt wards" has
been a worker on the staff of the Prot
estant Episcopal fity Mission Society.
She has made her headquarters at
M. Barnabas House In Mulberry street
and at Hod's Providence House in Mul
berry street, and otherwise her efforts
have carried her Into the meanest of
homes.
An old friend of Miss Kdmands. it Is
said, sent her to Mrs. Frances S. Hol
ktns. of U7 East Kort jr-slxth street, a
prominent charitable worker, whose
niece. Miss Mabel H. Chase. Is the pri
vate secretary of Rev. "Robert R. Kim
ber. haad of the Episcopal City Mission
."oclety. which has offices at 3S Rleecken
street.
Miss Hdmands was seen by a friend
at St. Barnabas House not many day
ago and said : "1 am here to seek oc
cupation to get away from It all. I
want to do something different and
new. I love my work here, and It Is
sood work. I hope to continue It. for
my heart Is In It.

"I have been glad to get away from
the troubles I have had. and t have
found rest here. I have been away
from all that has worried me so sorely,
and I hope to remain In this work. Mr
work At Ood's Providence House is
purely voluntary, and as such It is very
pleasant. I have always wished to do
something of that sort, an'l now I have
found try opportunity.
"I really hope the whole dreadful case
will die down. The idea of being
brotirbt back Into the limelight Is mora
shocking than I ran express. I simply
ask to be permitted to do my work
quietly and to be relieved of too much
public Interest In myself, my where

SAN FRANCISCO. May 10. (Special.)
In striking contrast to the recent
burial of the battleship Maine with
naval honors, the Pensacola. famous
as a ship or line In Admiral Farra
gut's fleet In Mobile Bay during the
Rebellion, was sacrificed to crackling
flames for pecuniary profit here today.
As the flames ate through her old sea
soned bulwarks and smoke enveloped
the skeleton of the once proud flag
ship of the American Navy In many
home and foreign ports, great eyea of
fire showed through the portholes of
her three decks.
Sold by the Government to Henry
Rogers, sometimes known on the wa
terfront as "Cast Iron Henry." for
Sl'.OOO. the old Pensacola, which for
more than 13 years lay at anchor off
Goat Island as a training ship and was
seen by millions who crossed the bay.
was recently taken to the Union Iron
Works by the man who bought her,
where she was stripped of a great
amount of copper and brass sheathing
and fittings.
There waa In her well-built hull a
large quantity of valuable metal which
could not easily have been extracted
In any other way than by burning her
and permitting the metal to melt and
drop Into her hold, which was filled
with water and bulkheaded after she
wss beached.
The Pensacola was shorn of her
stern shield. This bears the name of
the ship In a semi-circle over a large
gilded American eagle, with the talons
clutching the globe. The shield was
presented to President McGregor, of the
Union Iron Works.

NEW YORK, May 10. (Special.)
Vincent Astor. who, not yet 21, Is prac
tically the sole master of his 160,000,
000 fortune, intends to kep as far
away from matrimony as possible a
least for a few years.
"I am not thinking of marrying any
one," he said today. "I am devoting
my time wholly to my course In Har
vard." A statement given out at the Astor
offices here makes delinlte announce
ment of Vincent Astor's plans for
trip to England this Summer. The
statement says:
"Mr. Astor Is trying to arrange his
business affairs now so that he will
be able to spend severnl wpkn with
his mother. Mrs. John Astor. at her
home In England during the mid-Sum
mer.
Mother to Ketnrs to Knicland.
"Mrs. Astor came here on only two
days' notice, dropping several Impor
tant matters. She will return soon
with her daughter to the other side.
Mr. Astor expects to bring both home
with him after the mid-Summer vlsit-
The death of John Jacob Astor in
the sea when tlio Titanic was sunk
made Vincent the richest young inn.
In the world. Ho was extremely
"eligible" before he became the head of
the house of Astor. He is doubly so
now.
Scores of designing mothers havo
been preening their daughters In an ef
fort to capture him. They consider the
present time, when he is grief-stricken
over th death of his father, whom he
idolized, as fraught with possibilities.
The chance of reflex action of catch-
inr his heart and sentiments on the
rebound has not been overlooked and
many mammas have kept many daugh
ters as near the limelight as possible
when he has appeared.
Rumors Have No Rest.
Ever since he attained the staturo of
manhood. Vincent Astor s name has
been almost constantly linked with
that of some girl. As fast as he de
nied that he was engaged or even in
love with one, another name would be
whispered about and It would be ru
mored that at last he had met his fate.
It was declared at one time that he was
engaged to marry Miss Margaret An
drews, daughter of Paul Andrews, of
Newport, a lovely girl only 16 years
old. At another time he was credited
with an ardent wooing of Miss Cath
erine Hattersley, a young and wealthy
maiden In New York, society. A third
story had It that he was a suitor for
the hand of Miss Nancy Lleschman.
daughter of the Ambassador; a fourth
that he would have weudea the oeau
tiful Katherine Force, sister of the
similarly beautiful young woman who
became his fathers wife, and a rirtn
rumor declared thut he had fallen cap

comedy hit of the season now closing.
MOTHERS' DAY MAY 12
PORTLAND RESIDENTS PRE
PARE FOR OBSERVANCE.
Curiiittion Will Be Worn In Mem
ory of Living and Dead Serv
ices to Be Held.
In memory of mothers dead and in
lonor of mothers living, i-urnanu anu
most of the rest of the United States
will observe Mothers' day, next Sunday,
with appropriate services In the
churches and by wearing buttonhole
bouquets of carnations und other flow
ers. More than SO.000 varicolored car
nations, symbolizing purity, beauty
and love will be taken from the hot
houses today and prepared for . the
commemoration, which Is expected to
be far more general in Portland this
year than at any time since the cus
tom was established in 1908.
Florists are prepared for an excep
tionally big rush and expect to have
plenty of carnations to meet the de
mand. The warm weather of the last
week has brought the carnations out
In thousands and they will be In per
fect condition for the market today
and tomorrow.
In compliance with the custom, white
carnations will be worn for the mem
ory of mothers dead, while other col
ors will be used for honoring mothers
living.
Today will see Mothers' day decora
tions In all the florist shops. Decora
tors wre busy last right preparing
unique and beautiful displays of the
pretty flowers and adorning the win
dows with placards announcing Moth
ers' day. what it means and how. It
should bo observed. Retail stores re
port numerous orders for large num
bers of the flowers.
Mothers' day will be well observed In
the churches. Nearly all of the minis
ters have announced their Intention to
speak on the subject of "Mother." at
both the morning and the evening
services. Special floral decorations will
grace the pulpits of most of the
churches.
The Mothers' day idea originated in
190S in Philadelphia. The founder was
Miss Anna Jarvls. who conceived the
flower-wearing idea In the desire to
commemorate the anniversary of her
mother's death. Following this she
wrote a letter to a Philadelphia news
paper suggesting the observance of the
day by everyone. This made such an
Impression that that same year the
commemoration was held in many parts
of the United States. Since then it
has spread to practically every part
of this country and to many parts of
Europe.
Miss Jarvls suggested the white car
nation as the Mothers' day flower. "Its
whiteness stands for purity; Its form.
beauty; Its fragrance, love; its wide
field of growth, charity; its lasting
qualities, faithfulness all a true moth
er's attributes." she wrote.
