DIED.

Tom. Dorcey, an orphan raised
by the Sisters of Mercy died at
the Convent at IL o'clock Satur-
day night, the End inst, after a
brief and painful attack of teta-
nus. Tom while working in the
debris of the demolished build
ings in the yard of the convent
walked over a pointed nail that
inflicted painful wound, but he
thought nothing of it. A day or
two after he began to suffer and
went to see a doctor, but it was
too late, he had tetanus and soon
after had fits of painful and suf-
fering and died in horrible ago.

The young boy who was aged
about 10 years leaves a sister who
is also here with the Sisters. He
was buried at 5 o'clock Sunday
evening and had a large funeral.
The brass band marched at the
head of the funeral and discours-
ed appropriate music for the sad
event.
While young Tony Dorcey was
yet exposed in the parlor of the
convent, the sad tiding came over
by wire announcing to the already
grieved sisters the death of the
Mother Superior of the New Or
leans Convent, which deepened
the gloom that already prevailed
at the convent.

SATURDAY. JUNE 9, 1904.
An Outrageous Proposition.

In a fit of mental alteration,
Judge Fenner framed, and Sena-
ator Cordil, representing a con-
stituency three-quarters black,
presented in the Senate, Tuesday,
a bill providing for the reform of
the suffrage, and contains provi-
sions that would put to blush the
worst populist crank in the coun-
try.
This bill divides the state into
two groups, known as A. and B.
The qualifications for suffrage in
division A. shall be citizenship in
the United States, permanent re-
sidence in the state for two years,
in parish one year and in ward
three months prior to registration;
ownership at the time of registra-
tion-and a new registration will
be required-on the rolls of the
state, either in the voters name, or
the name of his wife, or children,
of property assessed at $500. He
shall also read and write English
or French.
In division B. the only qualifi-
cation shall be citizenship in the
United States and residence as re-
quired in division A.
By the provisions of this bill a
man of education, social promi-
nence, fully qualified by all the
rules that should govern the right
of suffrage, but owning no proper
ty, or property valued at $499
would be debarred from voting in
St Martin, but the toughest hood
lum in New Orleans, who values
his suffrage to the extent of its
worth in dollars, having neither
property or the least conception
OF the sacredn@s of the ballot,
would be entitled to vote. Again,
the most illeterate negro, living in
Iberia 80 yards from the line
dividing the parishes of Iberia
and st. Martin, without a penny
worth of property to his name
would, under this bill, be a quail
fed suffragist, while an enducated,
industrious white man, possessing
but s499 worth of property, or
none, would be debarred from the
right of citizenship.
As the Picayune aptly puts it,
ga man would be thus blessed or
cursed, not for any qualities or
acts of his own, but by the mere
accident of residence in the con.
demned or favored parishes of
the state"
This bill outrages every senti-
ment of equal justice and fair
play, and it is difficult to enter
tain any other belief than Senator
Cordill intended to perpetrate n
little joke on the members of the
Senate; but should it come to pass
that the Senator is really serious
in this matter, he should be prom
pity locked in Jackson, where he
properly belongs.

PROPOSED FAIR AND LUAU.
To be Given by ST. Andrews Sewing
Society.

In connection with the Sewing
Society's sale of work, on which it
largely depends to raise 800 an
nually, for church purposes, 1t Is
proposed this year to have gem
eral fair and luau, under the di-
rection of the cathedral authorities,
for the purpose of raising funds for
two much-needed objects: 1.-The
erection of a fence around the ca
thedral yard. 2-The erection of
a parsonage. The proposal for
such fair and luau has been most
generously received, and the ar
engagements are already on fair
way toward completion. The luau
will be held in October, the fair in
November and both will be held
in the Cathedral Sunday School
room. For the fair, arrangements
have been made with various Ia
dies for the following tables: Ha-
waiian, Chinese, clothing, fancy ar
ticles, children's, including fish
pond, bran pie, etc, refreshment,
candy and flower stall. 1t need
hardly be added that contributions
will be most gladly received, either
from Oahu or the other islands.
The Sewing Society meets every
Tuesday in the Sunday school
| room at . O'Clock. and will welcome
any who are willing to come and
work for the fair,or any gifts which
may be sent. 1t may be added
that an honest price will be placed
on articles, and that there will be
DO rafting and no auction. Arti-
cles that are left over will be re-
served for future sale. Any in
quiries should be addressed to Mrs.
Willis, Iolani College, or to the
