Mrs. Lucinda sGoslee, who died at Glastonbury last Saturday, was born in
 that town April 8, 17s7, and was probably the oldest woman in Connections. She leaves behind her a sister (Mrs. House of
 Manchester) who is 91. Mrs. Goslee was woman of lively, cheerful spirit, pleas ant and equable in disposition, and al
 ways briskly at work. Until her health began to fail, after she had lived full century, she was actively employed at her daily work about the house, and was able to go about among her neighbors. Since the summer following the completion of her Tooth year her health somewhat fail ed, though she kept about, and was more or less busy about the house, till last sum- mer, when she grew weaker, and from that time she has done less work but her mind seemed to be clear till near the end. Her eye-sight and hearing continued good till she was 101, when there began to be noticed some tendency to failure there. In April, 1902, when she was girl of 15, she planted a young maple tree in front of the house she was born in. It is now an old and a great tree. Her death was the quiet. peaceful result, not of disease, but of the slow but real wearing-out of the physical machine. It was worn out as as the running works of a very ancient clock, that will "go' no more. She "fell asleep" at last, like tired child as peacefully and as happily.

Detroit Free Press.) THE KING AND THE PEASANT.

One day while the king of the Cannibal Islands was out hunting grizzly bears, he became separated from his retainers, and after wandering about for long time he finally came upon the cabin of peasant The peasant hadn't the least idea who the stranger was, of course, and he invited the king to enter and make himself as com. fortable as possible. His royal nibbs, seeing how the land lay, thought to get an honest opinion of himself, and after he bit he led of with:

 "No doubt of it," replied the peasant !; Che has of late seized upon every pretext to neglect the king business, and lets af- fairs of state go to the dogs"
 "They say he drinks.
 ''Alas yes. He can guzzle more budge than any four old drunkards in the coun- try"
 "And that he is harsh and tyrannical J
 "You bet He'd grind our noses to get an extra dollar in. taxes, and he is always after new law to abridee our liberties. "And that he is a spendthrift.

 "I never heard of but one. They say I he is extremely kind to cross-eyedscats.
 'I am the king P thundered his maies [ tty, as he rose up ill all the terribleness oi his awfulness.
 The peasant fell upon his knees an6 prayed that his life might be spared, be ing ne had no insurance, and the king took him by the right hand and lifted him uI and said
 "Have no fear. You are an honest man. You are the only human 1beings,who has dared to tell me of my faults.

The company starts with but $1 .000 eapi- tai, and 24 of the 40 shares are held by parties in the vicinity of Boston. There is felt to be encouragement in even this small beginning. Eastford is romantic village, and with it's thas seen better days" aspect brushed away, will become again a beautiful village. A large and swift run ming stream courses through it's valley; an abandoned factory building is ready to be again put in trim for business.

A number of amendments to the Massa chusetts Australian ballot law have been laid before the legislature of that state. It is an encouraging sign that the purpose of the amendments is not to break down the law, but to strengthen it's weak points. There will be no steps backward in this matter if the intelligent members of the community know their rights and have 8 care to maintain them.

Kamehameha School.

Some sixty or seventy of the promi-
nent citizens of Honolulu drove out to
the Kamehameha school last evening to
attend one OF the monthly Rhetorical
exercises of the boys. The large school
hall was decorated for the occasion by
specimens OF penmanship, cartoons and
mechanical drawing. A specially notice
able piece of work was the lettering in
artistic style of the name "Kamehameha
School," as clump OF tree stumps, with
side drawings of Diamond Head and
Kapiolani park. The Waimea bridge, as
shown in the plan for framing, was re-
markably well executed specimen of
mechanical drawing.
The regular rhetorical exercises con-
sisted of some twenty Drief recitations,
gay and grave, and showed varying de-
grees of proficiency in the management
OF English speech. Many of the boys
give promise of good ability and some
have achieved the successful mastery of
the language, SD difficult for Hawaiians
to enunciate with ease and accuracy.
There was also Manuscript paper read,
The Kamehameha Sentinel" The
young editor had arranged his contribu-
tons quite skilfully, and some of the
articles were deliciously and naively
humorous. The account of the Excur-
sion to Eva, and the "pilikias" of the
young lady friends, was particularly en-
tertaining. The KamehaEleha school
was highly recommended as the place
above all others to gain strength and
fatness," the Hawaiian version appar-
emily of Matthew Arnold's sweetness
and light" a mathematical calculation
made it probable that three years more
of school life would make the essayist
more than match fcr Capt. Rice in
avoirdupois.
The singing was particularly good,
especially in chorus by the whole school.
The boys sang with remarkable ten
sion and volume of voice. The glee club
made decided hit with their part song
and whistling accompaniment.

We print in to-day's issue trans
lation from the Luso Hawaiiano of
December %. We are not in posi-
ton to know how far it represents
the sentiments Of the large body of
Portuguese voters, but if it does rep
resent them generally it shows that
they are not likely to prove an ele-
ment of danger in our politics. The
items in the platform laid down by
the Luso coincide generally with the
policy Of the party in power. The
advisability of a general introduc-
ton of municipal governments is
certainly doubtful, though possibly
the time has come when Hilo, Wal
luku and Honolulu can make the
change with advantage. It is also
questionable whether any reduction
of the national debt is consistent
with large extension of the work
of public improvement, but at any
rate some of the debt may perhaps
be refunded at lower rate of inter
est. The structures of the Luso on
the Hawaii ticket for Mobiles seems
unhappily not without foundation.
The ticket needs some revising in
order to make it truly representa-
tive, and also more in harmony with
the wishes of the various districts.
AS to the charge made by our Portu-
guese contemporary against Mr.
Hind, we can only say that it is most
Injurious, and we earnestly hope
that it is without foundation. The
work of the Government in carrying
out the provisions of the Homestead
Act, constitutes one of its most use
full services. Any effort on the part
of any planter to obstruct the opera
ton of that Act, disqualifies him for
candidacy and only tends to SOW the
seeds of dishonest bitterness against
the planters.
