Petty Fight by the First Ma
tIonal Bank

Whereas, 1t has come to the
Knowledge of the directors Of the
First National Bank that certain
articles have recently appeared in
q newspaper known as The Indian
Chieftain rejecting upon the hon
or and integrity Of large part OF
the stockholders Of this bank and
also urging the officers Of the Uni-
ted States TO enter npons q course
Of unjustified hostility towards Q
large part Of the stockholders OF
this bank, and 1t appears that the
attacks and insinuaticns made
therein are uncalled for and un-
warranted and made out Of spirit
ofmalice,
Therefore, be il resolved, by the
directors, of this bank, that this
bank do not further patronize said
paper and that the executive OF
dic8fs of this bank be instructed to
withdraw all advertisements and
that hereafter to have all print
ing necessary for the bank done by
persons other than those interest
ed in or connected with said Indian
Chieftain.

Some people have expressed
surprise that there are intelligent
people in this town and country
who are against the enforcement
Of law, and who have recently
taken strong stand against the
government Of the United States.
Ofcourse this indicates q morbid
state oi public opinion and morals,
but 1t no doubt comes from the
chaotic conditions that exist in
the Indian Territory. But il is
largely owing to the custom that
has prevailed here for many years,
OF beating the tribal laws as a mat
ter of expediency whenever occa-
eion offered. We have some very
good citizens who have thought
nothing of beating, and assisting
Others in beating the Cherokee
laws. This has grown into dan.
ger0us condition and threatens now
TO get some people into trouble
very soon if they do not stop and
take different view Of habitually
violating the laws of the country.
THE Claremore Progress don't
seem to know that the cattlemen,
merchants and pretty much every
body else beat the Cherokee ma
ton out of the revenues due it.
That estimable paper now rises to
ask why the Cherokees didn't coll
lect their money themselves. The
main reason the Chcrokees have
not been able to collect their reve-
nues was because such papers as
the Progress threw every obstacle
ntheir way and ridiculed their
laws, and made it generally hard
60 enforce them. It is adding in
suit to injury now to ask why the
Cherokee courts were d farce and
their laws dead upor the statute
books.

Major Woods record with typhoid
fever at the military hospital at Buena
Vista, is highly credtable to him and
would indicate that there is something
in this climate that makes the disease
yield readily to treatment. Two per
cent of deaths means that out of one
hundred typhoid patients only two
died. This is said to be an unexampled
record. 1t certainly is far below the
experience of hospitals of the highest
reputation on the other side of the
water. Our atmosphere, the trade
winds from the northeast blowing over
thousands of miles of salt water, ought
to be peculiarly aseptic, and hence,
when other conditions are good, pecu-
liarly favorable.

viii give emergency relief But before
anything more is given investigation
will be made, SO that the fraudulent
and undeserving win not get what Is
intended for the deserving.
The police should cordially cooperate
with the Associated Charities. When
fraudulent beggar is discovered, he
ought to be dealt with by the police.
II he will not work, the vagrancy laws
ought to be enforced.
Real charity and benevolence, the
care of the deserving, demands that the
undeserving shall not be tolerated. If
1t becomes known in the States that

FRAUDULENT BEGGARS.

The Associated Charities of Hawaii
has already demonstrated it's utility
and usefulness. The circulars it has
just issued warning the public against
fraudulent beggars who play on the
sympathies of charitable people to Sc
cure clothing which they at once sell
shows that there is need of just such
an organization in Honolulu
The method adopted by the class of
frauds against whom warning is given,
is particularly despicable. In many
cases they represent themselves as men
who passed through here as volunteer
soldiers for Manila and We're so
pleased with the Islands and their peo-
pie that they fastened back here as
soon as they were discharged from mill
tary service. A subtler appeal to the
better elements of human nature could
scarcely be conceived. In the first place
it is an appeal to patriotism and to
generosity. There is an admiration ma
tive to the human mind for the man
who risks his life for his country. Then
it is an appeal to civic pride and love
of the particular country where one
lives. The mendcant says he was
charmed with the Islands We who
live here love them and we are pleased
when other people say they like them.
1t is an appeal fiatterins to vanity. The
man before us, a patriot soldier, likes
the people, our people, us.
1t is an appeal that touches every
amiable sentiment. Suspicion is dis
armed. Instead of being asked for a
favor we are given an opportunity to
confer one. The result is the fraud gets
what he wants.
The Islands have been so far free
from beggary and the frauds of beggars
that the Honolulu public, from want of
experience, is peculiarly susceptible to
appeals of this kind. 1t is almost our
first experience with them. If this one
is stopped in it's beginnings it will go
far toward preventing others and will
keep the spirit of charity and kindness
wholesome and untainted with suspi-
cion and that caution of experience
which robs it of its best character.
The Associated Charities has discov-
cred the fraud. With the cooperation of
citizens and the police the Islands can
soon be rid of the frauds and dead
beats If when appeals are made, citi-
zens will at once refer the applicant to
the Associated Chariaies their charity
will not be misplaced and the deserving
will be relieved They need not fear

REINSURANCE.

The arrival of the ship Charles f.
Moody safe and sound when reinsur-
ance on her had risen to fifty per cent
and will doubtless go higher before
news of her safety reaches San Fran
cisco, shows that man has not yet ac-
quired complete mastery of the sea.
Otherwise there would be no need for
insurance and no call for reinsurance.
While insurance is no sense a gambling
operation, having been reduced to rules
and laws that are almost as constant
and certain and as clearly to be known
in advance as any other natural laws,
reinsurance is in the nature of a gam
BILE. The reinsurer stakes his money
Uu the chance that vessel overdue
may yet come safely into port. But II
is a species of gambling that subserves
a useful purpose in commerce, in COM
merce, and there are none of the OBJ
jections to it that can be urged against
other species of gambling. A man can
not become devotee of it, because the
opportunities to indulge it come only
at infrequent intervals, and come only
through the natural and usual opera
tions of commerce. 1t is impossible to
get up a game of overdue vessels for
the mere purpose of providing a gam

from Superintendent Bucks statement
that the soil on the mountains was so

SHAKEUP POSSIBLE.
May Be Another Change
in the Police
Department.

Members of the Worcester police de-
partment are at present doing some
heavy thinking over the shakeup which,
according to plans, should happen the
early part Of next week. When the
last move was made placing Capt. Mat
thews and Sergt. McMurray at Station
2, it was generally supposed that the
entire police department would be
changed around so that some of the
men who have Travelled on Main street
for years would find themselves out in
the suburbs, and others who never see
Main street except when going on duty,
would find themselves guardians of the
business sections of the city.
One Of the sergeants proposed to the
chief of police that the men who have
Travelled the principal beats on Main
street should be removed and others put
in their places. They are Officers De-
laney and Lombard, who travel the
Harrington corner beat, and officers
RamsdelI and O'Sullivan, who travel on
the opposite side of Main street.
All four men mentioned have trav-
eled the beats they are now on for
years, and show a clean record, but the
sergeants argued that other men
should be given a chance, and they
WOulQ Q6N6lOp iHto just do SOou Jill
GERS.
The members of the department are
not in a settled condition by any
means, and all wait patiently for the
change to take place. One of the men
recently put on day duty is sailed for
night duty again, and 1t is expected
that several officers will be brought up
from Station territory and put under
the charge of Station l officials. Mem
bers Of the department who have been
kept on back streets since they were
appointed, argue that they should be
given chance, and no man should own
a beat. Station 1 officers are satisfied
with any beat In Station 1 territory,
but do not take kindly to the chance of
being sent down to Station 2,
Chief brennan does not seem to take
kindly to the suggestion made by the
sergeant, and thinks that men on duty
at Harrington corner are the right men
in the right place.
Repairs on Station 2, as recommend
ed by Chief of Police brennan, have
been started, and yesterday the parti-
ton between the guard room and the
section formerly used as a tramp room
was removed. When the operation is
finished the guard room will be about
twice its present size. The carpenters
will be put to work on other sections
of the building, and it is expected that
when they get through, it will be a
model police station.

A MODERN PALACE.
Norman B. Ream
Building a Fine
Country Home.
A BEAUTIFUL SPOT.
Chicago Multi-millionaire
Invests in Eastern
Connecticut.

Webster, May 1S.-Norman B. Ream
millionaire financier and well known
railroad man of Chicago has pur-
chased one hundred acres of land in
Thompson, Conn, and has started to
build a magnificent mansion. The res
idence and grounds are designed to be
among the finest in New England, and
will outclass in many respects any of
the famous houses and grounds in and
about Boston.
Mr.. Reann, who is planning for this
palatial home in eastern Connecticut.
is a well known capitalist and is at the
head of a powerful railroad syndicate
in Chicago, and also an executor of the
late George Pullman estate, from which
he derives an income of $4,000 a year.
Mr. ReRn is a man of large wealth,
being many times a millionaire.
The spot selected by Mr.. Ream is
one of the most beautiful in this
charming corner of the Nutmeg state,
and is a seven-mile drive from the
hourishing town of Webster Mass The
scenery in the vicinity is beautiful, and
the site is admirably adapted to the
purposes Mr.. Ream has in view.
His. general plans include a mansion
of colonial style, Of two stories, with
a frontage of 200 feet and a depth of
lis feet. 1t will be constructed of the
finest brick with white marble orna-
mentations and will cost alone up
wards of 100000.
A large and elegant stable is in
process of construction at the rear Of
the mansion, 70 by 125 feet. This build
ing will be of brick, two stories high
and equipped with every modern con-
venience. The most choice stock OBJ
tainable will find an abiding place in
this adjunct to the Ream summer
home.
Mr.. Ream intends to have his
grounds the browning point in ele-
gance and beauty to his eastern in
vestment. The grounds will form half
mile circle about the mansion, and will
be provided with every shrub and
flower which can be grown in New
England climate. Magnificent walks
and drives, flanked by statuary grot-
toes, fountains of colonial design, are
among the general plans to beautify
the grounds.
The drives will be twenty feet in
width with macadam foundation of
two feet. These drives entire are to be
miles in length.
A large wind mill is being constructed
upon the grounds which will furnish
the force for water supply of the build
ings and fountains about the grounds.
A power house will soon be erected to
supply electric light for the uses of
the estate, and complete system of
sewers will be inaugurated. 1t is stated
that Mr.. Ream will expend 100000 on
the place.
The architects are the well known
firm of Shepley, Rutan & Coolidge of
Boston. The contractor is Ira G. Her
sey Of Boston, who is represented on
the grounds by E. E. Piper. Nathan F.
Barrett of New Rochelle N. Y, is the
Landscape gardener.
Although a small army of workmen
are employed it is believed that it will
require five years to complete every
detail Of Mr. Reams idea. 1t is the
desire of the owners to have the resi-
dence ready for occupancy next Sep
TENDER, and the contractors are exert
ing every effort to comply with the
wishes Of Mr.. Ream.
