FOR LANAI LANDS
Suit Commenced for the
Palawai Property.
Plaintiffs Pain and Neumann Seek
to Force the Hayseldon's to
Transfer the Property.
In the Circuit Court yesterday morn
ing W. H. Pain and Paul Neumann,
plaintiffs in equity, brought suit
against Cecil Brown, trustee, Talula
Lucy Hayselden and Frederick H. Hay
selden, defendants. The suit is over
the Lanai ranch, the orators claiming
that in accordance with the will of the
late Walter Murray Gibson his daugh
ter, Talula Lucy Hayselden, was giv
en full power to sell, convey, grant,
alienate or otherwise dispose of any
part or the whole of the real estate be
longing to the estate with the exception
of the property bequeathed deceased's
son; that Cecil Brown, the administra
tor and trustee, Talula Lucy Haysel
den and Frederick H. Hayselden, her
husband, entered into an agreement on
August 20, 1S9S, by which all the real
and personal property devised and be
queathed to the said Talula L. Haysel
den, situate on the Island of Lanai,
was to pass into the hands of plain
tiffs for the sum of $100,000. Of this
$70,5S9.0G, or thereabout, was to go to
Wm. G. Irwin to satisfy and obtain
the release of a mortgage due to him.
After paying this the liens and claims
existing against or upon the estate,
including all taxes, rentals for land
held under lease and all current ex
penditures necessary to be made in
the management of the Lanai ranch.
including any and all expenditures
necessary for the preservation and de
velopment of the said property, the ex-
cess after such payments was to go to
Tolulo T. Tlovcolilon Tho nl n i n t i fFc
......ii av.uv... j,.
claim further that they were given un-
til the 2Sth dav of Ausrust. 1S99. to com- I
ply with the terms of the agreement.
This agreement was entered into at
Lahaina.
On August 25, 1899, plaintiffs pro
cured an assignment to be made by
Wm. G. Irwin to Claus Spreckels &
Co., bankers, of Honolulu and an
agreement was entered into by which
the plaintiffs we given an extension
of three years for the payment of the
judgment lien, amounting to $70,587.00
with interest at G per cent.
The plaintiffs claim to have paid
$35,427.39 for interest, development,
etc., on the Lanai ranch, commonly
known as Palawai, and further that,
upon claiming a deed in conformity
with the contract entered upon, Cecil
Brown, administrator and trustee, re-
fused and still refuses to grant the
same.
On August 2S, 1S99, plaintiffs made
tender of the sum of $12,S03.35 as per
agreement, but Talula L. Hayselden
refused and still refuses to accept the
same.
Plaintiffs state that, for the purpose
of preserving the estate, it is neces
sary that a proper and fit person be
appointed as receiver and manager of
said property until the matter is set
tled in court.
This suit is the sequel to the tender
of money made in the Hawaiian Hotel
office by W. II. Pain to Mrs. Haysel
den. HACI1ELOKS TaXED.
The Hessian Diet has passed a law
requiring bachelors to pay 25 per cent
more income tax than married men.
The Woman's Journal warmly ap
proves of the distinction thus made
between the taxes of men who sup
port families and of men who support
only themselves. The Woman's Jour
nal also advocates legislation which
will equalize the wages paid women
and men. The law placing an espe
cial tax upon bachelors seems to be
intrinsically just. So far as the law
fixes the rates of wages, the obliga
tions different classes of wage-earners
have undertaken should be considered.
To be thoroughly consistent the Wom
an's Journal should admit the justice
of higher compensation for men who
have families to support than for eith
er men or women who have only
themselves to care for. It is difficult,
however, to frame a law which will
meet either individual cases or classes
of cases which employers have to deal
with. The employer's first care is for
his own interest; his second, for the
interest of the State. He employs the
man or woman whose labor has the
greatest value to him, and pays wages
in proportion to the value of the work
performed, trusting the man or woman
who is most Jiberally paid to recognize
his or her duties to society. Laws de
signed to protect those least able to
protect themselves often work an in
jury to the class for whose benefit they
were intended. In some cities laws re
quiring employers to provide seats for
saleswomen have been indirectly com
plied with by substituting salesmen
for saleswomen. It is clearly, howev
er, within the province of law to pre
vent an approach to inhuman treat
ment of employees. Laws prohibiting
the employment of minors more than
a given number of hours a day are in
the interest of society, though in some
cases they may prevent the employ
ment of minors. The Hessian Diet
which imposed a tax on bachelors in
comes came within two or three votes
of laying a double tax on women's bi
cycles. Doubtless the purpose in this
case was to discourage the use of
wheels by women.

NEGLECT
A Common Case tf Piles It may
Lead to Serious Results.
(From the Sydney Herald.)
When people generally understand
that all such fatal diseases as tisutla,
ulcer of the "rectum, fissure, etc., al
most invariably begin in a simple case
of piles, they will learn the wisdom of
taking prompt treatment for the first
appearance of trouble in this quarter.
Doan's Ointment will certainly cure
every form of piles itching,
bleeding, protruding, or blind piles
and hundreds of lives have been saved
-by using this cheap, effective remedy
right at the start, because at such a
time a single pot will effect a cure,
while in the old chronic, d?ep-seated
cases, several pots are sometimes nec
essary before a lasting cure is effectea.
Here is a case:
Mr. William Gilliver, of the well
known firm of Gilliver &. Curtis, rail
way and general contractors, and
whose private address is "Avoca,"
Bankstown, has written the following
unsolicited letter, which we herewith
publish In full:
Messrs. Foster-McClellan Co., 7G Pitt
St., Sydney, N. S. W., February H,
1S99.
Dear Sirs: In justice to you anl
suffering humanity I write to say that
j I suffered from itching piles for 22
i years. I tried many doctors and pret
ty well all kinds of patent medicines,
but got relief for a short time only.
Seeing your Ointment advertised 1
bought a pot and did not use more
than one-half of it, not . six months
ago, and I am perfectly cured. You
may use this as you wish.
Yours gratefully,
WILLIAM GILLIVER.
It cannot be repeated too often that
Doan's Ointment will cure itching
piles. IT WILL CURE THEM ABSO
LUTELY. But do not take the manu
facturer's word for this; ask or write
Mr. Gilliver; he knows, for it cured
him, and he lives in Bankstown, a su
burb 12 miles from Sydney. Is not that
the best possible kind of proof? Could
tllor vAttPr?

ers at 50 cents per box or will be

THE AMERICAN BEGGAR'S
MECCA.
(Popular Science Monthly.)
Ten per cent of all the human be
ings who die in New York city are
buried in Potter's Field at public ex
pense; but the records of organized
charity, official and semi-official, show
that less than 1 per cent of the living
are paupers, or dependent persons.
There are two explanations of the dif
ference -between the number of living
poor and penniless dead. The chief
one is that abuse of public charity has
grown to such proportions that the
city has become the Mecca of the
r'hrm'ip irilpra nnrl tPflinns f)f the en
tire country. It is easier for an Indus-
trious and shrewd professional beg
gar to live in luxury in New York
than to exist in any other city in the
world. No magic wand of ancient fa
ble was ever more potent to unlock
the gates of castle or prison than the
name of charity to open a way to the
public treasury. The liberal and well
nigh indiscriminate giving of the
money of the taxpayers for the relief
or sickness ana poverty nas oeen
commanded by law, and sanctioned by
custom and approved by public opin
ion until the possibility of checking or
reforming the abuse grows more and
more remote as the burden increases
and the evil results multiply.
The city of New York gives annu
ally to public charity more than $3,
000,000, and contributes indirectly $2,
000,000 more. Of the money raised by
(State taxes, interest and county ex-
penses eliminated), almost 12 percent
is properly chargeable to relief of pov
erty and sickness. Of this expenditure.
more than $3,000,000 is paid to pri
vate institutions and societies over
which the citv authorities have no
control or supervision.
SIXTY-FIVE MILLIONS AN ACRE.
One of the surest and safest ways of
becoming rich beyond the dreams of
avarice would be to possess a few acres
of land in the heart of the city of Lon
don, or, in fact, a single acre would
make one wealthier than the most
lucky miner that ever starved at Jo
hannesburg.
The highest price ever asked for land
in London was at the rate of $65,000,
000 per acre. The golden spot was in
Bermondsey, where a few years ago a
small piece of property was offered to
a railway company at that rate. The
railway company declined to buy.'
Ground about Lombard a street is
worth not less than $10,000,000 an acre.
The Marquis of. Salisbury owns five
acres of land at Charing Cross, which
250 years back, was leased for grazing
purposes to his ancestors at the rate
of $2.5o an acre for 500 years. These
few acres are now worth about $5 per
foot.
COST OF LAUNCHING.
The cost of launching a battle-ship
runs away with something like $10,-
000. The great leviatham requires
some five tons of tallow and over a
ton of oil and soft soap to persuade
her to leave her cradle and glide peace
fully into the water.
