Mr. Pratt handed the Star the fol-
lowing extract from the Proceedings
of the National Convention of Post
masters bearing upon the subject:
The President: l will call upon the
Hon. Seth B. Strong, of Houston,
Texas, to read his paper on the sub
ject:
"Shall Patrons Be Required to Pro-
vide Mail Boxes as a Condition to
Receive City Delivery Service?'
Mr.. Strong: The National Asso-
citation of Postmasters-Offic of the
First Class: In the treatment of the
subject forming the caption of this
paper, it is assumed that postmasters
and supervisory employees engaged in
city delivery service generally and
certainly all carriers, take the af-
fiirmative stand on this proposition
which most unreservedly do.
Advantages of the House Mail Re-
ceptacle to the Patron.
1t is in the interest of prompt SER
vice and will enable the carrier to
perform quicker service and to reach
the last house on his route much
earlier each trip. At the hour the
carrier calls at residences in the morn
ing, the lady of the house or the SER
want seldom finds it convenient to
meet hte carrier at the door. 1t is in
the interest of patrons generally not
to be required to suspend duties in
which they may be engaged, for the
purpose of meeting the carrier.

of mail, when patrons are not at
home, as against leaving it exposed

Cavalry drilling in double rank is
something new in the United States
regulations, but according to orders
received by yesterdays mail, this
style of drill is to be inaugurated at
once, and practise in this formation
held at least twice each week.
For the purpose troops of ninety-six
men are required, which will require
the doubling up of the regular troops,
which now have a strength of but
thirty or forty men, on an average.
The squadron will be the unit in
these drills and there will be no in
terval between troops.
The new order will not make any
change in the regular formation of
the troops of the regiment, and the
double rank formation will, for the
present at least, be employed only in
special drill exercises 1t will of

The orders were transmitted from

DIR. O'DAY'S SECOND ARTICLE ON
LEPROSY HERE DEALS WITH THE
ATCHERLY AND NALLACK INCIDENT!

The following appears in the Medi-
cal Sentinel, Portland, as a second ar
ticle on 'Leprosy in Hawaii" by DR..
J. c. O'Day, who spent some time
here:
As an evidence that Hawaii should
divorce the problem of her leprosy
from her politics, l will refer to the
ridiculous position she got herself
into with one notorious Wallack, and
an unfortunate physician by the name
of Atcherly My sense of justice will
not permit me to mention the name
of those two men, Wallack and Atch-
erly, without feeling an apology is
due to the latter. Atcherly was re-
fined, scholarly gentleman-Wallack
an uncouth vulgar pretender. Doctor
Atcherly knew personally but Wal
lack having left the islands prior to
my visit to Hawaii, what 1 know Of
the man is hearsay. But that he was
most vile and INSCRIPTIONS was as
sured by many who knew the fellow
well-even by many, who for a time,
had believed in him.
Brilliant, But Insane.
Poor Doctor Atcherly was a drug
paranoias. Never had l an occasion
to converse with this truly wonderful
man, but what would recall all I
had read of that sorrowful character,
Thomas De Quincy, the author of
"The Confessions of an Opium-Eater."
The autobiography of De Quincy,
which offers so much to the student
of classic literature cannot be read
into very far before the reader is face
to face with the unaswerable ques-
ton, How could so brilliant a mind
fall victim to the terrible habit of
opium eating?" Whenever l sat and
conversed with Dr. Atcherly in his
cell in the insane asylum at Honolulu,
the same question would always sug-
-gest itself.
DR.. Atcherly was gentleman born.
His culture and gracious manner
never deserted him. A truly refined
scholar, yet with all, insane. With
that untiring faith and zeal which
characterizes the decisions of para
noia, Atcherly believed sincerely he
had discovered cure for leprosy,
Before the legislators of the Hawa-
iian Territory, he presented his claim
with such an earnestness and enthu-
siasm as to drag down an appropria-
ton of several thousands of dollars
with which leper hospital was built
and himself placed in charge of it.
Then with an earnestness of deter
'mination that scarcely brooked inter.

According to my views you have to
do more than this to be forgiven. You
have to make amends. Mere talk does
not purchase forgiveness. Where any
thing is stolen or got uniustly it must
be refunded before forgiveness can be
expected, if the sinner is able to re.
fund.
THAT is the way | understand it.

case was so l may look it up and see

HONOLULU CAN EXTEND HER
OWN POSTAL SERVICE, SAYS
PRATT, BY PROVIDING BOXES

door-and when advised that he had
erected specially good box at his
house unsolicited, l interviewed him
and learned that he appreciated the
of the house receptacles
for mail to such a degree that he de-
vised one for his own use. His in
telligent treatment of the subject
prompted me to solicit his views in
writing from a patrons viewpoint
with which he complied, as follows;
My Dear Mr.. Strong:
"In compliance with your request
for an expression as to whether or not
residents of cities should be required
to provide mail boxes as a condition
to receive free delivery service, will
say surely it should be required that
mail boxes be furnished at all places
of business, offices and dwellings re-
ceiving free delivery service. AS to
whether they should be furnished and
charged for by the Post Office De-
partment, by the property owners or
by the party occupying the house, is
question.
Under present conditions city let
ter carriers cannot comply with the
rules and regulations governing them
and please all patrons. City letter
carriers when delivering mail are re-
quired to go to the house door, blow
his whistle, ring the door bell or
knock and wait reasonable time for
the patron to come and receive the
mail, and in case the patron does not
come within a reasonable time the
mail is not delivered until the next
trip, or next day. If carrier making
800 deliveries a day be required TO
wait one minute on each delivery,
more than one half the day would be
consumed This delay would be
avoided if suitable receptacles for
mail be placed at each house and
would insure safety of mail matter,
earlier delivery and a reduction in
the expense of carriers as each car
rier could cover at least one-third
more territory and give perfect SER
vice.
For the protection of the Post Of
flee Department, carrier and patron
and receptacle should be such as
would prevent the removal of mail by
pilferers, protect it against inclem.
encies of weather, dust, dirt, ETC., and
against removal of exterior boxes
from walls, posts or houses to which
they are attached.

Not so with Wallack. To be sure
he was not insane, for, what one does
not possess, one cannot lose. Instead
of scholarly attainments, Wallack pre-
ferred to acquire the art of dust throw
ing, and so blinded the eyes of those
about him that they actually mistooll
the dust for brilliancy. 81 have the
only cure!" he shouted long and loud,
and before the echo had died away he
had bluffed himself and his cure, not
only into public attention, but into
the attention of many politicians as
we'll, and with such effect that Wal
lack, and anti-Wallack" factions
sprung up with mushroom rapidity.
1t was argued that he should be priv
LEGGED to demonstrate his cure, but it
was strenuously opposed on the just
grounds that the fellow was an igno-
ramus, and to allow such to expert
ment on the sick would be not only
folly but dangerous as we'll. To some
of the politicians this made no differ
ence.. Anxious for reelection, they
preferred to laud him as a great bene-
factor, contending that the opposition
was inspired by jealousy father than
an interest in the afflicted lepers.
The true motive, however, was to
spike down a goodly portion of the
native Hawaiian's vote, for it is
through promises to do something for
the leper that big majority of this
vote is secured, Leprosy is the cause
of many a heartache in Hawaii. So
with aching hearts on one side, and
the politicians noise on the other,
Wallack lost no time, but began to
sell his cure, extorting eXorbitant fees
from those unfortunate people who
happened to have a loved one away
out there on that dreaded Island of
Molokai Finally he was arrested for
practicing medicine without license,
convicted, and after serving a term in
