A CASE OF KLEPToMANIA.
Is. F. Town Talk.)

Society has seldom had more alb
sorbing topic of discussion than the
disappearance of a silver teapot and
tray from the treasures of transport
captain. 1t happened while the YES
sci was on the high seas bound for this
port with officers, their wives and
children, returning from duty in the
Philippines. The incident was official
ly closed by the resignation of a popu-
lar officer, but unofficially it has been
kept alive by tea-table chatter. The
rather brusque, though effective, meth
cd adopted by the transport captain
to recover his property provoked the
row which has had such an unhappy
ending. During years of travel he
collected many pieces of silver. Their
accumulation was hobby. While in
the transport service he has made it
a practice to have afternoon tea served
in his cabin. At these little functions
one of the passengers is asked to pre-
side while the captain exhibits his
treasures. The usual custom was fol-
lowed during recent voyage, the cap
tain calling upon the charming wife
of an officer to assist. A day out from
Honolulu, the captain discovered that
his teapot and tray were missing. These
were the most highly priced pieces in
his collection and he became very
angry. A quiet investigation among
the servants failed and just before the
vessel reached this port he announced
that the baggage of every cabin pas
senger would be searched The an
nouncement provoked indignant protest
but the captain proved resolute. No
favoritism was to be shown and the
stateroom of one passenger had been
partly overturned, when she angrily
declared: "Why DON you go to Mrs.
Blank?" The captain acted promptly
and was rewarded by finding his lost
silverware at the bottom of Mrs.
Blank s trunk. "Kleptomania, de-
clared her husband and his verdict was
generally accepted. Nevertheless he
was so much Inundated by the Incl
dent that he hastily sent his resigna-
ton to Washington.

LEGISLATORS ARE
VERY INDIGNANT

The three members of the Legisla-
ture who formed the House Confer
ence Committee on the Standard Oil
Bill during its passage and tne friends
of the three are expressing consider
able Indignation at the published sug-
gestions of graft, purporting to have
been brought out in the investigation
into the kerosene warehouse fire and
the shortages in the accounts of Hart,
the Standard Oil clerk. The members
of the House interested are E. A. C..
Long, E. w. Quinn and J. II. Coney.
The bill providing for the storage
of oil otherwise than in the govern
ment warehouse was introduced into
the Senate of the recent Legislature
by Senator Chillingworth- After al
hard fight it was passed in the Senate
and sent to the House, where it was
turned down. A conference committee
of Long, Quinn and Coney took the
matter up with committee from the
Senate and the bill was reported back
and finally passed.
Any insinuations of graft, such as
have been appearing in the Star for
the past few days, reflect directly on
the three named, insinuations which
they and their friends holly resent.

To
LOOK into
TROUBLE
(From Wednesdays Advertiser.)

(From Wednesdays Advertiser)
Within the next few days some ac-
ton may be taken in regard to the
Queens Hospital matter, which has
been slumbering quietly since Govern
or F'rear took office. The matter is
now being investigated by Attorney
General Hemenway and. in case he
decides that it is his duty to take the
matter up in an official capacity, there
should be interesting developments be-
fore the courts.
In any event the matter will be
brought before the courts in the near
future, as. if it is decided by the At
torney General that. the matter is not
within his jurisdiction and duty to in
vestigate, suit will be brought by a
private individual as a taxpayer, which
will bring the matter into the courts
and cause thorough investigation.
When asked about the matter over
the telephone last night Attorney Gen
eral Hemenway said:
Eyes, the matter of the trouble at the
Queens Hospital is now being inves-
tigated in my office. to see whether it
is my duty, as Attorney General, under
the common law, to take the matter
UP.
Il have nothing to say on the sub
ject as yet. for have not gone deeply
into the matter and know little more
about it than 1 have seen in the news
paper accounts. In case find that it
is my duty to go ahead in the investi-
CATION 1 shall probably consult with
the attorneys representing private par
ties who are concerned, and take the
trouble before the courts. This will
probably be done through proceeding
in equity, though as you can under
stand 1 cannot say in what manner.
1T will be two or three days before
I can arrive at a decision in regard
to my duties under the law in such a
case, as I wish to be thoroughly in
formed in the matter"

I Four killed and 252 known to have

days of the car strike period that be-

1900 operating carmen in scattered

of fully 5000 persons, counting the big

night and daylight attacks.
From the Office reports kept by the
United Railroads of every days hap

WANTS LEASE OF
THE H|LO WHARF

While it seems certain that Govern
or Frear will not accede to the petition
OF the Hilo people to borrow $4,000 for
the improvement of the Hilo wharf,
another solution of the difficulty ap-
peared Yesterday, and while there has
no decision been made as yet, it seems
likely that one will be arrived at IN
the next few days. Yesterday the
Inter-Island Steam Navigation Com
pany made an offer to Governor Frear
TO lease the Hilo wharf from the gov
eminent for the period of twenty-one
years, agreeing to spend 100000 in i'm
provements on the structure.
According to the offer made, the gov
eminent will have the right to take up
the lease by paying for the improve
ments which have been made. The
matter was only brought TO Governor
Frears attention yesterday through a
communication from the steamship
company, and when asked about the
matter last night he had not yet had
time to consider the proposition which
had been made.
In speaking of the matter Governor
Frear said:
Some few days ago I talked the
matter over with the Inter-Island peo-
pie and suggested to them that they
see the railroad people and obtain per-
mission if possible to use the leeward
side of the railroad wharf. That was
the last that 1 heard of the matter
from them till today, when 1 received
the application for a lease which you
have referred to. Perhaps it is a good
solution for the wharf matter, but l
have not had time to go into it deeply
enough to make any decision. I ex-
pect to do so within the next few days.
AT present 1 have been very busy with
a number of matters which have come
up and will complete them before TAX
ing UP the wharf matter.
81 received a petition from Hilo in
regard 10 the wharf yesterday and re-
piled to it today, setting forth the rea-
sons on account of which I have de-
cided not to make the $4,000 loan for
that purpose. At that time I had not
seen the application of the Inter-1sland
Company"

. DONE BY TRYING.

Nobody can tell what he can
do till he tries. When a thing
ought to be done the modern
spirit moves US to keep working
away at it until it is done. In
the face Of this idea the "impos-
sible" vanishes. Where there's
a will, there's a way. eff we
could but rob cod liver oil of
it's sickening taste and smell and
then combine it with two or
three other ingredients we should
possess the best remedy in the
world for certain diseases that
are now practically incurable."
So said a famous English physi-
clan twenty-five years ago. "But
it will never be DONE" he added.
"You can no more turn COZ liy-
er oil into a palatable medicine,
than you can turn the Goldfish
itself into a Bird of Paradise"
Yet he lived to admit that in
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
the impossible" had been &C.
complished. 1t is palatable as
honey and contains all the nu-
tritive and curative properties of
Pure Cod Liver Oil, extracted
by US from fresh cod livers, COM
bined with the Compound Syrup
of Hypophosphites, Extracts Of
Malt and Wild Cherry. This
remedy is freed from the bad
peculiarities DR.. rockingham so
detested, and it is precisely the
splendid medicine he wished for.

A|EA POLICEMAN
UNDER A CLOUD
(From Wednesdays Advertiser)

(From Wednesdays Advertiser.)
Adam Duncan, police officer in the
Eva district, is under suspension until
an investigation can be made into his
conduct, some indications that he has
been grating having been uncovered
in an inquiry made yesterday by Sher-
iff Iaukea Duncan is one of the ap-
pointees of Iaukea, but this will not
save him if the investigation ordered
shows the reports against him to be
true, in which case charge of extor-
ton will be laid against him.
A report that Duncan's conduct was
not all that it should be was brought
to the Sheriff, who Immediately left
for Waipahu to investigate, taking
with him Special Officer Townsend as
japanese interpreter. Duncan denied
that he had accepted bribes or fees in
any way, acknowledging, however, that
he had accepted the gift of sundry
bottles of beer from a hotel keeper.
Two Japanese told the Sheriff, on the
other hand, that they had had to pay
Duncan for services. One Japanese
had given him ten dollars in connection
with getting his saloon license, the idea
being that any Facts known against
him should not be brought to the at
tention of the Board of License Com
missioners. The other japanese told
tale of having been allowed to take
some goods out of a store closed under
an execution, Of which Duncan was in
charge, the police officer being squared
for the permission.
This is the second investigation into
!extortion charges against the police
under the Iaukea administration, in
both cases the charges being taken up
promptly. The first case of the kind
was that in which Eugene Duvau
chelle, of the Honolulu special force,
is said to be implicated. Duvauchelle
was suspended and charge was made
against him, resulting in a grand jury
indictment. His trial is to come off
before Judge Robinson within a few
days.
Duncans case will be gone into thor
oughly and if anything crooked is
found out and is capable of proof ne
will be prosecuted.

BOOZE, KNIFE
AND A GUN PLAY

There was brain-storm III Puunui
last night when Victorine souza, in
spired by drink, ran amuck and visit
ed the house of a young married couple,
Mr.. and Mrs. L. Beckley, in fight
ing mood. Vietorine drew knife on
the young wife, and naturally her hus-
band interfered. The police were sum
moned and when the officers arrived
Victorine was trying to put the knife
into Beekley. When he saw the police
he started to evaporate but an officer
pulled gun and ordered him to halt,
whereupon he halted instanter. Vic
torine is now in Jail to answer to
charge of assault with deadly weapon.

MARSHAL HENDRY
BREAKING DOWN

According to the advices of his
physician United States Marshal Hen
dry will be obliged to take lay-off
or suffer from a nervous breakdown
very soon. During the past few months
the amount of work done by the Mar
shall and his small corps of assistants
has been much. Tie putting into sud-
den operation of the Edmunds Act has
meant a large amount of work, while
at the same time the whole effort of
the department was bent on the break
ing up of the various counterfeiting
gangs in the islands and the arrests
of the bad money men, task which
seems to have been brought to a thor
oughly satisfactory end. Just what
the arrest of the Korean counterfeiters
means TO the business men of the Ter
ritory requires only moment IS refec-
ton to be appreciated.
just how satisfactorily the immense
amount of detail work in connection
with the office has been done and kept
up is shown by the recent examination
made into affairs by the Federal in
spector now here The books had not
been gone into and examined for seven
years, yet the examination now shows
that in all that time they had been
kept up with perfect accuracy.
The work that Marshal Hendry has
just completed in the arrests of the
counterfeiters was accomplished under
difficulties unknown to the general pub
lie. The Secret Service of the Unit
ed States was unable to spare a man
to come here and follow the trail un-
covered, the Marshal being cabled to
90 ahead and do what ne could himself.
just how satisfactory has his work
been to the Secret Service is shown
by letter received recently from Chief
John E. Wilkie, of the Secret Service
in which the congratulations of the
writer were extended to the Marshal
on the splendid work he had done
single handed.

Mr.. Jared G. Smith, U. S. Agricultural
Station, Hawaii Territory.
Dear Sir: The Chicago Association
of Commerce and the Chicago Market
have lately received from Hawaii a
car load of two characteristic island
fruits, namely, pineapples and avo-
cados.
The fruit came through in good con-
dltion, and samples of it were served
at the weekly luncheon of the asso-
cations largest committee, the Ways
and Means Committee. At this lun-
eheon Mr.. j. E. Higgins, your hor-
tlcultural expert in charge of the ship
ment, was present and enlightened the
committee about the resources of the
islands.
lhe Great Central Market, represent
ed by its chief exponent and builder,
wishes the government every success
in such important experiments and will
be found ready to foster any prac-
ticable project for the common ad-
vantage of the market and the cross
roads of the Pacific.
Very truly yours,
H. C. BARLOW,

CHAINED TO DECK.

Executive Director.

Chained to the bridge deck of the
British tramp schooner Scottish Mon
arch, when that vessel came into the
harbor yesterday, was a big negro,
Lucas Morgan. He had applied to
captain Dover, the master. for his dis
charge at this port. The captain re-
fused. The black man became insolent
and struck the captain. Sailor and
master then engaged in a rough and
tumble fight, but the little skipper was
no match for Morgan and the captain
was in hard straits when the second
and third officers and two quartermas-
tiers appeared and took charge of the
negro. By Captain bowers orders
Lucas was handcuffed to a stanchion.
The captain then renewed the fight,
and the next and all succeeding rounds
were bowers. When the skipper went
ashore to report the affair to the Brit
ish consul he left the chained negro in
charge of Chief Officer Alexander, a
ladylike little man with fierce and
dropping mustache, who explained that
Lucas was undergoing punishment for
characterization and that he was there
to see that nobody spoke to the negro.
The other officers of the ship said
that Lucas had been surly throughout
the passage and had been constant
source of annoyance. They said, fur
Their, that he had bitten Captain Dover
during the first engagement.
Members of the crew appeared to be
in sympathy with the negro and said
that Captain Dover had beaten the
man numerically after he had been
chained down securely.
The Scottish Monarch was twenty
nine days from Newcastle, Australia,
and brought 5000 tons of coal.-Ex-
aminer.

MISS YARROW' s
CASE REVIEWED

Editor Advertiser: In Sunday morn
ing's Advertiser there was printed an
article, "Official Statement of Miss
Yarrow's Case" The statement needs
further explaining, as it is not quite
correct.
In Miss Yarrow's resignation as read
to the church. she said: My resigna-
ton taking effect at the close of the
year, December 81. If you wish, how
ever, 1 will close my work September
80, my resignation taking place not
earlier than at the close of my year"
Miss Yarrow, for the good of the
church and for her own sake, did not
wish to close her work until the end
of her year. The Standing Committee
said, mo, close your work September
30, when DR.. Scudder enters his field"
Central Union church is not giving
Miss Yarrow one cent, as stated in
Sundays paper She was perfectly
willing to work until her year expired.
If the Standing Committee is not will
ing, then it is not Miss Yarrow's fault.
and her salary for the remainder of the
year is only her just due and not a
gift.
When the church voted out of the
love of their hearts to give Miss Var
row $500 at the close of her eight years
of faithful, loyal service, it was only
practical way of showing their appre-
citation AS a matter of fact, she has
saved the church six hundred dollars
during the last six months by doing
other peoples work. When Mr.. Tur-
ner left six months ago, and on her
shoulders was thrown other work, she
never murmured, but like man did
Mr.. Turner's work and her own with
out one word of complaint. When DR..
Sylvester left, still more was thrown
on her shoulders, and she has done all
in her power, but her salary was never
raised She has been trying to do
three persons work and has done 1t
well.
1t is all very well to say THANK
YOU" but the congregation and the ma
jority of the church members wished
to do more than this. and the $500
voted by them was meant to be a lit
tie token of their appreciation.
I have known Miss Yarrow intimate
" for years and in this field and every
other where she has worked she has
given her life for Christ's work with
no thought of herself. If any one has
the Christ spirit, it is Miss Yarrow.
always forgiving, always doing for
others.
If the money could not have been
given as a gift, as stated in the reso-
luton sent in by the trustees, her sal
airy could have been raised from last
April and it could have gone down in
the annals of the church as something
for the church and the non-church
members to have been proud of, that
Central Union church, when left with
out a pastor, without an assistant pas
tor, without Bible school superintend-
ent, had appreciated Miss Yarrow's
services in a practical way. 1t must be
gratifying, however, to Miss Yarrow
for her to know that the work has
gone on and that she has been equal
to the occasion.
The trustees and the Standing Com
mittee did not think to raise her salary,
and now they say it is not possible to
grant the desire of the church, to give
her the little sum of $500, but Miss
Yarrow can be assured that the mass
unselfshness and Christian character.

One of the most interesting dinners
rendered to the Secretary was given
by w. R. Castle, an old schoolmate,
who graduated from Columbia Univer-
sity with Mr.. Straus in the law class
of '73. The guests included the lead
ing educators of the islands, who en-
tertainingly described the public school
system of Hawaii, and the progress
made by its foremost institutions.
In the red-draped throneroom of the
palace, long closed to social affairs,
Gov. and Mrs. Carter rendered a public
reception to Secretary and Mrs. Straus
and Representative and Mrs. Long
worth. The grounds were brightly IL
Illuminated by myriads of vari-colored
incandescent lights, under which, to
the music of the Royal Hawaiian band,
thousands of citizens congregated while
the reception was in progress.
Unfortunately the limited time at his
disposal prevented the Secretary from
visiting the various islands of the Ha-
waiian group, but his party were af-
forded opportunity of seeing all that
there is in Oahu, the island upon which
Honolulu is situated.
When the Secretary left Honolulu a
large crowd was assembled on the dock
to witness the departure. Secretary
Straus stood on the deck of the steam
er decked with wreaths of flowers, the
last token of friendship bestowed by
the warm-hearted islanders, who
cheered vociferously as the steamer
moved from the harbor. The last sound
that reached the steamer from the
shore was "Aloha nui," the Hawaiian
farewell greeting and expression of re-
gard and esteem.
