NEW YORK GOSSIP
WEEKLY RESUME OF
MEN AND EVENTS

NEW YORK. May 7.-Visitors from
Europe. who pay their first visit to
New York and admire its cosmopolitan
character without reserve. are usually
surprised and disappointed when they
see the city in it's Sunday state. How
ever much il may resemble the great
European centers of population during
the week. on Sundays il assumes a
character quite different from that of
any large European city and becomes.
in the eyes of the foreign visitors an
overgrown and over populated village
Play houses and concert halls. saloons
and many restaurants are closed and
although the visitor. under the COM
petent guidance of a native friend soon
becomes convinced that there are many
ways in which the Sunday closing laws
can be circumvented. ne never feels
free and comfortable in one of those
places which he has entered through
the back door. 1t seems that even the
New Workers feel not perfectly at ease
under the feeling that. from n moral
standpoint they are violators of the
r-ession 20 their surprise and ask. how
Ii is possible that such Il condition is
tolerated in a city the population of
which consists to a great extent of for
eign born citizens and an enormous
number Of foreigners WHO are not citi-
zens. If one considers that undoubt-
eddy one-half of New Yorks population
is opposed to Sunday restrictions and
a considerable part of the other half
would willingly aequiesce in the abo-
lition or limitation of the restraint. it
is indeed remarkable that New York
still has its puritanical Sabbath. Every
year efforts are made to mitigate the
rigor Of the Sunday laws. but the min
listers and the church members are
watchful and oppose these efforts with
such vigor that they usually lead to
no tangible result

performance of "Parsifai" on Amerita Z
soil as dignifed an artistic success as
Mr.. Conried made it.
Another theatrical event of import :
ance took place during the past week.
The old partnership of Joe Weber and
Lew Fields. which has been in exist =
ence for over twenty eight years and
has made the Weber & Fields music
han the incubator OF many remarkable
comedy successes. has been dissolved.
Fields has given out that ne will be as
sociated with Fred r. Hamln and
Julian Mitchell in new theater to be
built on Broadway and Forty third
street by Nathan Stein. Louis Beers
and Charles Reinhardt. 1t is expected
that the new house will be bailt by next
year and that it will be used for the
production of spectacular shows and
big musical comedies.
AS was expected the bottom has
dropped out of the Hearst boom. which,
for a while at least. caused some of
the democratic candidates and party
lea ders sleepless nights and uncomfor-
table hours during the day The man
ayers of the Hearst boom in the east
have recognized the fact that the boom
so far as the east is concerned, has ig-
ANONYMOUSLY collapsed like soap bub-
BILE. The unsophisticated west or at
least some disgruntled democratic re-
formers in the west are still holding
ont. but it is merely question of time
when the Hearst boom in all parts
of the country will be as dead as door
nail. The frisky would-be candidate
should have remembered the golden
words of the lamented president Lin
coin concerning the possibility of fool
ing all the people all the time.

Just before the beginning of the
baseball season an effort was made to
except baseball from the amusements
prohibited by the Sunday laws. The
move had been expected. however and
the ministers OF the various churches
irrespective of their denomination
combined their efforts to defeat the
attempt. There was not "A church in
Manhattan or Brooklyn where the min
lister did not thunder against the
threatened Dissertation OF the Sabbath
and so terrifying was the picture Of the
consequences of leniency in that re-
spect. which the ministers drew in their
sermons. that cold chills chased one
another down the backs of the listen
ers. That settled 1t. In every church
petitions against Sunday baseball were
signed by men. women and children
and during the next few days the may
or's mail was quite voluminors The
result is. that Sunday baseball remains
tabood in Greater New York as here
tofore and with il every open ndulg-
ence in the various Sunday amuse-
ments which give to European Sun
days SO distinct and cheerful char
acter.

New Workers. who, on their occas-
ional visits to other large cities OF this
country. had the opportunity to COM
pare the trimness and military neat
ness of the police force especially in
western cities with the slouchiness Of
our metropolitan police force, We're
pleasantly surprised when they read
OF the latest reform move OF Commits
sioner McAdOo. After this the Of
fcers will not be permitted to wear old

NETS. They will be fitted ont with
good uniforms and will be compelled to
pay more attention to their personal
appearance. They will also be expect
ed to display more military bearing
and greater energy in their movements.
The latter result. 1t is expected, will be
obtained by drilling and gymnasium
work. The command of the commits
sioner does not hit the ordinary officers
only b"t also the lieutenants, captains.
inspectors. etc. who recently contribu-
ted considerably to the decentralization
of the force by their own laxness and
sloIchiness. They will no longer be
permitted to appear before the com
missioner in an informal mixture of
uniform and citizens clothes. Those
who have seen our police force know
that there il considerable room for i'm
provenIent in that direction.

LhHA|NALUNA CASE
IN BETTER SHAPE

Attorney General Andrews with Dep
ufy Sheriff cbillingworth returned from
Lahaina yesterday, having placed
the Lahainaluna water controversy
on more easy footing than it seemed
when he went to the scene of trouble.
Concessions of important points were
made by the representatives of the
Pioneer Mill Co. which contests the
Governments claim to the water rights
as appurtenant TO the seminary. On
the other hand the company is given
time to cut the cane growing on Gov
eminent land. Commissioner Kaulukou,
under these circumstances, continued
the hearing until July. There is to be
a conference Of the parties with Gov
.erIaor Carter tomorrow.
Giving to disturbing rumors that
reached Honolulu, as the trial was
about to come off, the Attorney Gen
eral was constrained to go to the as
sistance of Mr.. Aluli. who had beer
sent from the department to handle tbs
case. The Deputy Sheriff was taker
along with him as preeaution against
any force tactics. Happily the situa-
ton was found peaceful

NEW YoRKs HOSPITALS.


There are 100 hospitals in Greater
New York, exclusive Of nearly 200 asy-
lums and homes maintained by public
and private charity. These hospitals
have a capacity for nearly $4,000 beds.
Impressive as these figures are in the
aggregate, the city's provisions for the
care of the sick is inadequate at GER
tain seasons of the year. During the
grip plaques that sweep over the
metropolis in the early spring every
hospital, with the exception of those
designed for special cases, is over
crowded. In the heated terms of the
summer the capacity is taxed to the
utmost. Even now the city is poorly
provided for taking care of special
cases. Patients suffering from deIiri-
um or alcoholism and requiring isola-
ton cannot find accommodations.

BARRETT STAYED A WEEK.

John Barrett. the new United States
minister to the Argentine Republic, was
received at Buenos Ayres with great
.cordiality. An account of his enthusi-
astie reception was sent to the state
department by Mr.. Barrett, but 1t did
not contain some of the most interest
ing details.
Bands played in celebration of Mr..
Barrett's arrival, and he was greeted
by prominent citizens, who escorted him
to the best known hotel in Buenos
Ayres Mr.. Barrett was assigned to a
suite of rooms and settled down to life
in the Argentine city.
After his exciting experience as ORR
entail agent for the ST. Louis exposi-
ton, the quieter life IN Buenos Ayres
was very acceptable to Mr.. Barrett.
One day It occurred to him that Il
might be well to ask the rate he was
to pay for his rooms.
..ETifty-eight dollars a week., was the
suaze reply of the clerk.
Mr. Barrett enjoyed the hospitality Of
the hotel for only one week.-Wa Washing

that the deed contained distinct mat

THE RICHARDSON CASES.
Demurrers to the several indictments
against Vivian Richardson, lately
clerk of Honolulu Water Works, We're
argued before Judge De Bolt by A. Ii.
M. Robertson for defendant and Depu-
ty Attorney General E. C. Peters for
the Territory. The point raised on de-
murrer was that the position defend
ant held at the time of the alleged
office was not one making him arnena-
BILE to the law relating to embezzle-
ment of public moneys. Judge De
Bolt overruled the demurrers, when
Mr.. Robertson moved for an inter
locutory order to carry the point forth
with to the Supreme Court. This mo-
ton was taken under advisement un-
til Tuesday, the court showing some
inclination to grant the order.

TWO FINAL
DECISIONS
Sanitary Fire Insurance
ard Stamp Act
Contests.

By a unanimous opinion, written by
Chief Justice Frear. the Supreme
Court overrules the exceptions of plain
tiff in the case of w. w. Ahana vs..
The Insurance Company of North
America. ]. A Magoon and J. Light
foot for plaintiff; Robertson & Wilder
for defendant. 1t was an action for
$1,000 on an insurance policy covering
two buildings burned with others in
block 9, Chinatown, on January IS,
1900. There was a clause in the policy
which exempted the company from
paying a loss caused by order of any
civil authority. The defense, based on
such clause, was that the Board of
Health ordered the burning of block
9. 1t was contended by plaintiff that
the order of the Board of Health was
illegal for various circumstantial
reasons, one plea being that it was not
an order at all but only an authorize
ton to the Fire Department to burn
the buildings. The jury found YER
dict for the defendant and the plain
tiff appealed to the Supreme Court.
Besides enunciating certain technical
principles, the court holds as follows:
ITO serve as a defense in a case of
this nature, the action Of the Board
need not be lawful and justifiable. 1t
is sufficient if the Board had authority
to order buildings burned when neces-
sary for purposes within the scope of
its duties and acted in this particular
case officially and in good faith and
within the apparent scope of its pow
ers''
