LAX EVILLE.

It is with sadness we chronicle the sudden death of John K. Stuart's oldest child, James, grandson of James Stuart. Last week Monday the child con- plained that his throat was sore and nothing serious was thought about it, but the next day the child grew worse and Dr Bissell was called who at once pronounced it to be that dreadful children destroyer, diphtheria. The patient grew steadily worse and Sunday morning little James died aged years The funeral took place Monday morn ing. A large number of relatives and friends followed the remains to it's last resting place in Falls Village cemetery. AS soon as the true nature of the disease was discovered the family were at once quarantined.

ISPAULDLNGS SUMMIT AGAIN.

Now that the F., R. & N. E. railroad company has passed into the hands of receiver, it is in order to repeat the opinion we first expressed in these col umns Feb. II, 1892, to wit:
 s'There is one thing which does not change and it will be unchanged when the Reading road and it's successors get tired of bucking against it, viz, Spauld- ing's summit at Norfolk Money ls power: but it takes both money and power to haul freight over Spaulding's summit as every railroad corporation has discovered after making the experi- ment. We formerly had great faith in the Connecticut Western road and it's future. We have not lost our friend ship for the road nor for whatever cor poration operates the road, but we are confident that it will never pay to at- tempt to run A Great Through Freight Route over Spaulding's summit. But we still think it would pay to develop local freight and passenger traffic be- tween Hartford and Millerton, because local freight and passenger tariffs are always higher than the tariffs on through business over competing lines"
 MT E. T. Butler, of Norfolk. ''The Father of the Connecticut Western Road" took exceptions to the foregoing opinion and he undertook by series of letters published in these columns to demonstrate that the opinion was not sound, but we think our replies also published in these columns convinced him that we were right. The press also attacked our opinion but it remained unshaken as Spaulding's Summit itself. The legion of costly freight wrecks with consequent delays to passenger trains since the Reading road commenced ts operate the line ought to convince everyone that it will not pay to run "A Great Through Freight Route" over Spaulding's summit. Every corpora. ton that has tried it has failed.
 We hope that ID the future the road will be principally used for the pur- pose for which it was built, viz, to de. velope local industries and passenger traffic between Hartford and Millerton. Our reasons why the road would now be self supporting and paying one if thus operated have already beer stated more than once in these column and need not~be repeated at this time

Sandwich Island Girls

The women of the Sandwich Islands attire themselves in the holoku. The tropical climate makes loose, flowing gowns a necessity. The young girls wear wreaths of wild flowers around their brows and decorate their bodies with chaplets of green leaves. They do not use gold jewelry, but ornament their toilet with the floral beauty of the tropics. They are fond of outdoor life and live most of the time in the groves. They sleep in hammocks under the trees and have their dances and feasts in the grot- toes of the forests. They have little huts In which they dwell during storms. but are rarely found in their cottages except in rainy weather. They build grass thatohed houses and cover their roofs with rushes and have wide porches in front of their doors to keep of the heat of the sun.
 They like to be near the sea, so they can bathe in the waters of the ocean. They become expert surf riders and can scale the breakers in the widest storms. Like sea gulls they ride the tossing rollers and smile at the ocean's maddest winds. In their little boats they sail over the blue bosom of the Pacific and cruise many miles away from their island shores. Their little crafts cross the channels from island to island and visit all the ports in the archipelago. They are not afraid of the ocean solitudss, but are at home on its watery wastes and find delight in its expanse of blue.-Kate Fields Washing ton
