HINDUS GO TO HONOLULU.
Declare They Are Unable to Obtain
Work at Vancouver,
VANCOUVER, B. C, May 28.
Declaring that they are unable to j
obtain work in Vancouver, dozens of j
Hindus are applying at Canadian Pa
cific ticket offices for information as
to the rates of passage to Honolulu.
It is believed that the few Hindus
who have strayed from Vancouver to
the islands have found labor condi
tions there more to their liking than
in British Columbia and have sent
back word to their complaining com
patriots urging them to go to Hono
lulu. In all probability a fairly large
sumber of Hindus will leave lor that
point on the next Canadian-Australian
liner.
If all the tales told by the Hindus
to the railway officials are true they
are not being encouraged to remain
in Canada by offers of employment.
One man who said he had been in
the country three years, declared yes
terday that he had been able to se
cure but two months' work during
that time, and that he had during the
last nine months been employed only
30 days. Presumably lie lived by
begging as do scores of other Hindus
cow in Vancouver. Begging appears
to be the clue! occupation ot many oi
these men and householders declare
that they have become intolerable
auisanees.
THE BRAVEST MAN
James Creelman, the well-known
war correspondent, who is on record
ever his own signature as having pro
voked the war between the United
States and Spain, gives this descrip
tion of the bravest man he ever saw:
"It was during the siege of Port
Arthur, says Mr. Creelman on the
the edge of one of the parapets, his
feet hanging over the edge, sat a man
making a sketch of the scene. From
the Japanese ships in the offing there
came a continuous stream of scream
ing, death-delivering shells. But the
man sketched on unmoved. Mauser
bullets, with their peculiar snakelike
hiss, flew over and beside him. In
all this noise and imminent death the
man continued his work, completely
absorbed in it.
"Finally there came from within
the fortification a Russian officer of
gigantic size. He stood long beside
the man who was drawing and watch
ed the pencil carefully filling in the
graphic lines. The shells from the
ships when they struck the masonry
stirred up a cloud of mortar dust, and
as they exploded threw chunks of
broken stone in every direction. The
officer's uniform was covered with
the mortar dust, and his fatigue cap
- formed person again. Don t carry

had been knocked away by a Mauser
bullet. I have never seen a braver
man. At last he said, in excellent
English for all Russians are excel-
lent linguists and speaking with an
aristocratic drawl, 'I say, Creelman,
aren't you ever going to finish that
sketch? "Success Magazine.
TRIALS OF A PRESS AGENT
In order to supply all this matter,
there devolves upon the press agent
one of the most difficult duties in the
whole theatrical profession that of
inducing the star players to sit for
their photographs. For, delighted as
actors and actresses are to have their
pictures printed, there is nothing they
hate more than . devoting half of a
bright sunny afternoon to sitting for
them in costume in a photograph
gallery. Nor is this to be wondered
at when we consider the trouble that
it involves and the agreeable and pro
fitable manner in which the time
might he spent in walking up and
down Broadway or driving on the
Avenue. Sometimes it is neccs-ary
to bring the photographer to the
theater after rehearsal and hold the
actresses almost by main force until
their pictures are taken. The pres
agent must also be ever on the alert
to pick up and elaborate items of
news connected with his attractions,
and, failing these, to invent items that
look like news, and to prepare them
in an attractive form f.r the Sunday
paper. He must also make sugges
tions to reporters, put them in the
way of securing interviews and other
readable matter, entertain visiting
journalists from all parts of the conn
try and not one of these while in
Xcw York fails to call on every press
agent whose matter it has been his
good fortune to "run" during the
year write advertisements, keep the
fjuarrels between manager and star
and all other tidings suggestive of
disaster out of the papers, and to cast
a rosy glow over everything that
bears the managerial stamp of his em
ployer. In addition to all this, he
frequently edits and writes a press
sheet containing a thousand words of
cheery, readable matter relating to
his shows. Success Magazine.
BANKING BILL PASSED.
MEXICO CITY, May 28-The
chamber of deputies passed the bank

feature the bill regulates the estab
lishment of new banks, provides for
an examination of existing institu
tions by a representative of the finan
cial department, denies collateral
securities and remedies the existing
abuses relative to long time loans.

mm A MILLION
New York Miser Who Died In
Poverty
AMBROSE BURBANK ESTATE
He Accumulated Money by Investing
in Southern Municipal and State
Bonds The Children of Adopted
Nephew to Contest Their Claim.
NEW YORK, May 28.-A prelim
inary step in a bitter contest over the
property ot an aged ana eccentric
recluse who died in this city .several
years ago in extreme poverty but who
it turned out left an estate worth
nullum, was taken in the supreme
court on motion to discontinue a suit
brought in order to take a case to the
U. S. Supreme Court.
Ambrose Burbank was in the t
bacco business in Henderson, Ky., in
war-times and made a great deal oi
money, lie lost some ot it during
the war and finally decided to come
to .New ork. IIh triends and rela
tives supposed he lost all he had, but
he had not been long here before lie
began to invest sums in Southern
municipal and state bonds. As they
accumulated, he placed them in a box
in the vault.-, of the afc deposit com
pany. He used to cut the coupons
himself, always demonding payment
in gold, which he stored away in an
other box in the vaults.
When enough gold had been ac
cumulated to pay for. For years the
miser lived thus in a single room, ap
parently almost in poverty.
Burbank never married and bis
nearest relatives were some cous
ins and nephews. He died in 1901 at
the age of 89, leaving a will naming
Caleb R. Burbank, his nephew, and
George H. Southard as executors. A
will drawn in 1889 was produced
in which Burbank was made resi
duary legatee after a few small be
quests. It now appears that when the
old man was in business in Hender
son, Ky., he had associated with him
a young man nann-d Kleasor Bur
bank Nemcomb, of whom he always
spoke as his "favorite nephew." In
the years that intervened this nephew
died, leaving a wife and four chil
drcn, and in 1904 Mrs. Newcomb
brought suit against Burbank and
Southard, demanding that they be
compelled to turn over to her $100,
000 of the old man's money, basing
her claims upon letters written to her
by him.
It was a peculiar document and
contained clauses that the writer had
no confidence in wills, as he remem
bered that even so eminent a lawyer
as Samuel J. Tildcn had drawn one
that had been broken and that, there
fore, he wished to take care of the
wife of his favorite nephew by giv
ing her $100,000 on securities spec
tied by number and name.
Just before the date set for the
trial, Mrs. Newcomb died, and the
case was scratched off of the ca!
endar. Then her two children, David
Burbank Newcomb, her executors
brought suit in the United States
court. The defense of the suit is
that the document held by the N'ew
comb was a forgery and when the
case comes up for trial the fight on
this point will be long and hard.
peculiar feature will be that the old
man in his last vears had sciatica
rheumatism in his right arm and
learned to write with his left. Sev
eral hundred specimens of his hand
writing including standards of both
styles, have been collected, and sev
eral of the best handwriting experts
in the country have been retained.
the .Newcomb s claim amounts to
nearly $175,000.
The Most Common Cause of Suffering
Rheumatism causes more pain and
suffering than any other disease, for
the reason that it is the most common
of all ills, and it is certainly gratifying
t6 sufferers to know that Chamber
lain's Pain Balm will afford relief, and
make rest and sleep possible. In many
cases the relief from pain, which is at
first temporary, has become perma
nent, while in old people subject to
chronic rheumatism, often brought on
by dampness or changes in the
weather, a permanent cure cannot be
expected; the relief from pain which
this liniment affords is alone worth
many time its cost. 25 and 50 cent
