THAT PALACE GRILL
ROBBERY A FARCE

The robbery reported as having
taken place at the Palace Grill, Bethel
street early in the morning of May 2,
seems to have turned out to be no
robbery at all. There was disin-
clination at police headquarters to re-
gard the matter as robbery in the first
instance On Thursday evening Tom
Wal, one of the proprietors of the
Palace Grill, asked for a warrant TO
issue against his partner, All Sam. He
wanted a search warrant. Later he
said he didn't need the warrant, as
All Sam agreed to reimburse him for
the money alleged to have been stolen.
The tale did sound rather fshy, es-
pecially in view of the fact that it was
stated that $500 were in the safe, in
elusive of jeweIry. The statement was
made that All Sam had not locked the
outer door of the safe, merely the in
ner one. The careless placing of a sum
like $500 in a half-locked safe to be
left overnight is not ordinarily to be
checked up against a Chinaman.

WILLIAM GREIG IS HISTORY.

The Wellington Post is indebted to a
correspondent who is creditor in the
estate, for the following interesting
facts leading up to the projected sale
and division of estates on the flaming
and Washington Islands.
These islands were taken up some 40
years ago by British subject named
William Greig, who procured deed of
conveyance from the British authoFi-
ties, but there appears to be some doubt
as to the extent of the title conveyed
However, William Greig carried on a
business on the islands, exporting con-
siderable quantities of copra, guano,
pearlshell, and other island produce to
American markets. Greig subsequently
entered into partnership with one
George Bicknell, and carried on the
business until the death of Bicknell,
some Is years ago, under the name of
|'Greig and Bicknell. William Greig
resided in San Francisco for some years,
and when he died, in compliance with
his expressed wish, he was buried on
Tanning Island. The mode of inter
ment, however, is interesting. Grelg
was an ardent Ereemason, and the
brethren in San Francisco were deter
mined that although his wish should be
respected as to his interment on Fan
ming Island, his remains should be in
tered in consecrated ground. William
Greig's brig, The Douglas, which had
remained in San Francisco for many
months, was fitted up for the purpose,
and some hundred tons of soil, taken
from a consecrated graveyard, was
placed in her hold In this the grave
was dug and the last rites were carried
out with full Masonic honors. The
Douglas sailed for Tanning Island, and
the reinterment was carried out with
equal solemnity, and the acacia tree
planted in San Francisco now marks the

Mrs. Greig Ga Niue native) still sur
wives and resides on the island with her
foar-sons and two daughters. The es-
tate has been managed by the execu-
tors of William Greig, appointed by his
will, viz, George Bicknell Greig, his
eldest son, and Captain E. D. Reid (son-
in-Iaw. The executors have unfortu
nately been at cross purposes for some
years, and many endeavors have been
made to put the business and accounts
OF the estate on proper footing. For
this purpose an arbitration was held in
Fiji in 1903 without any definite result,
that is so far as the Australian credi
tors were concerned. George Greig has
retained tie management of the islands.
For some years past the Australian
creditors have sought to force the wind
ing up of the estate, but, owing to
want of jurisdiction the matter has been
troublesome. George Bicknell, it APP
pears, left one son, who, according to
his fathers will, was entitled to one
half-share in Tanning and Washington
Islands, and in the business of Greig
and BickneH This son was recently
found by Mr.. Humphrey Beckley (solic-
itor, OF Suva), somewhere in Honolulu,
and his interests are now being fought
for by Mr.. Berkeley. An admins
tration suit was commenced in the High
Commissioner Court last year, and
Captain Reid was appointed receiver
Captain Reid has taken peaceable pos
session of the islands, and it would APP
pear that in order to wind up the es-
tate the islands are to pass under the
hammer on April 16 next
The islands are highly improved, and
for some years have turned out some
thousands of tons of copra, and it is
stated that there are some millions of
tons of guano deposit on Washington
Island (Which, by the way, is sand |
spit on a coral foundation), but it would |
appear that the cost of excavating and
labor difficulties have retar led the out |
put of late years. The Gable Company |
have been tenants of the estate for some |
years, and they have put some 100000 |
worth of buildings and plant on the |
island, and improved it in the matter |

THE BIGGEST SHIPS.

In June or July the two largest ships
the world has ever seen will be launch
ed in London. They are the two new
Cunard liners which are being built by
the 10000, 900 loaned by the government
for that purpose. They will each be
SO feet longer than any other liner in
the world, and will have a gross tom
mage of 33, 200 tons. They are expected
to travel at a minimum speed of "a
knots an hour. They will have ac-
commodations for 5000 passengers and
will carry crew of 800 men. Never
before has a ship been built to sur
pass the Great Eastern in BREADTH So
feet, but these will have a breadth of
IS feet. They will be provided with
elevators which will rapidly transport
passengers from one part of the yes
sci to another. They will be fitted in
a manner that cannot be surpa ssed by
the most gorgeous of modern hotels
The saloon will be lighted by a great
dome crowned with a roof OF cathedral
glass.

Going through the hospitals in our
large cities one is surprised to find such
large proportion of the patients lying
on those snow-white beds women
and girls, who are either awaiting
or recovering from seriouS operations.
Why should this be the case2 Sim
ply because they have neglected them
selves. Female troubles are certainly
on the increase among the women of
this country-they creep upon them
unawares, but every one OF those
patients in the hospital beds had plenty
of warning in that bearing-down feel
ing, pain at left or right of the abdomen,
nervous exhaustion, pain in the small
of the back. dizziness, fiatulency, dis
placements of the organs or irregular

cations of an unhealthy condition of
the female organs, and if not needed
the penalty has to be paid by danger

manifest themselves, do not drag along
until you are obliged to go to the hos

ROOSEVELT WILL Be ROASTED
ANNUAL DINNER IN
NEW YORK.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 81
President Roosevelt will be the most
distinguished victim to be broiled and
roasted at the annual winter dinner of
at the New Willard tonight. The
Gridorin club is that famous organiza-
ton of the Washington correspondents
of the various large newspapers and
other publications, represented in the
national capital. It's dinners are
among the most interesting functions
in the life of the capital and have a
reputation of their own throughout
the country At these dinners no
mercy is shown, no respect for any
individual or institution, no matter
how high or dignified. With caustic
wit, cutting sarcasm and the most
merciless persiflage men and affairs
alike are dissected and criticized and
ridiculed. Special efforts have been
made for this occasion and those who
are in a position to be well informed
say that tonight's dinner will surpass
any previous Gridiron dinner ever
given in brilliancy and interesting fea-
lures. 1t is expected that President
Roosevelt will be the principal victim
to be placed on the gridirOn and done
brown" Besides the president the
members Of the cabinet, many distin-
guished senators and members of con-
gress, the ambassadors of the foreign
pwores and other prominent men will
attend the dinner.
