Mrs Ann Gasoline Staples, wife Of
the late All Staples, died at the old home
stead ON Winthrop street. Sunday morn
ing att o'clock.
The death was most peaceful, and not
unexpected. The apoplectc shock which
Mrs. Staples suffered, Wednesday night,
had left her in a critical condition, and
she did rally more than to understand,
and recognize those who approached her
bedside, being unable to speak or move
Mrs. Staples was born in Portland
October "A, 1916 and was, consequently
over so years of age st the time of her
death.
She has been a resident of this city 80
years and has lived at the homestead
since 1864
She is survived by daughter, Mrs
Georgianna Davis, who has lived with
her for some years, and two sons, Mr.. H
G. Staples of this city, and Mr.. f. G.
Staples of Nashua, N. H. The surviving
members Of the family have the deepest
sympathy of the community.

Farm Notes,

The report Of the good roads committee
appointed last year by the New Yorl
state Legislature, contains some very In
teresting information and suggestions
The committee finds that the average cos
of carrying produce to market over TIN
roads as now existing to be about twenty
would reduce this expense nearly tire,
quarters, representing saving on tic
average haul of about $40, 900, 900 PEI
year. On top Of this comes the statement
that the farmers throughout the Stat
assess themselves in highway labo
equivalent to So 600, 0C0 year This i.
certainly an unans Hcrable commentary
on the road methods in vogue and war
rants almost any reform action on tn,
part Of the Legislature. The committe,
reports strongly in favor of the state tax
ing charge Of the roads and paying one
third of the cost Of improvement. l.
further recommends the use of convict,
in breaking stone, in convenient local
tiles, for use on the roadways.
AS nearly AZ per cent Of the '95 corr
crop is In the farmers hands and 100,
000 900 bushels are now stored awaiting

An excellent feature Of modern houses

square. This is not difficult to furnish.
and if it be of generous size it is generally
arranged as a sort Of combined sitting

one may have a hall stand or the wall rack

preferred, as this form provides q useful

PYTHlAN ANNIVERSARY.
FITTING CELEBRATION BY THE
PIONEER LOCAL LODGE.
Oahu Lodge, No. 4. Gives n Pleasant
and Those Present.
ythian Hall on Fort street, the

ythian Hall on Fort street, the
castle of Oahu Lodge, No. l,
knights of Pythias, was the scene
of a singularly pleasant social and
dance last night. 1t was the
thirty-second anniversary of the
foundation of the order in the
United States, and Oahu as the
pioneer of the order in these isl,
ands managed this celebration.
The decorations of the hall were
remarkably artistic as well as APP
propriate. In the middle of the
ceiling was spread the triangular
floor cloth, in the emblematic
colors of blue, red and yellow
bearing the initials "F. b. c." sig
nifying Friendship, Benevolence
and Charity. All round the walls
were hung emblematic shields and
crossed swords, framed in wreaths
of MALE vine and ferns. There
was a pyramid of ferns on the
chief platform, on the canopy of
which were draped the Hawaiian
and American flags, and on the wall
in rear were shield, swords and
wreaths. The opposite dais had
its canopy hung with the banners
of the order, and bannerets in the
mystic tricolors were disposed
profusely on all the walls. At the
peak of each side canopy was
hung a cage with a live canary
bird in it. Palm fronds filled all
the corners, and arched the door
ways. Up to the ceiling the whole
breadth of the anteroom in the
rear was displayed the inscription,
on the orders tricolored bunting,
"A Chivalric Welcome" These
elaborate decorations were de-
signed by the Chancellor Com
mander of the Lodge, Geo. L.
Dali the architect.
There was a program of sixteen
dances, which took till l o'clock
this morning to execute. That the
diversion was intensely pleasant
was proved by nearly the whole of
the company staying to the end,
when the assembly dispersed with
the singing of "Auld Lang Syne"
led by Bros. Dali and Murphy. In
the middle of the program a hap
Ply variation was made by the
ladies selecting partners for leap
year dance. Willie Peterson's or
chestra furnished acceptable music
for dancing, and sang at regular
intervals.
Refreshments were in charge of
j. Steiner, proprietor of the Elite
ice cream parlors, who had a
tempting array of sandwiches,
cake, coffee and ices on tables in
the large anteroom, together with
delicious iced lemonade on
draught.
Those present were as follows:

of place and power, he has shouldered his
way to pinnacle of fame utterly strange
to other colonial premiers. He is the
idol of the company promoter and this

the domineering spirit of the colonist
who only sees in South Africa the means
of wealth, and in its natives useful SER
wants in the mines or on the farms. No

partner i'll all South African affairs.

of the Queenstown newspapers of October

placed upon the character of Sir Cecil

"With regard to politics, the most COM
manding figure in South Africa is nm
doubtedly that of Mr.. Rhodes, and yet it
must be remembered that, great man as
he is, the gold discoveries have great
deal to do with his greatness. To a
large extent, he has not made the for
tunes of the country, but the sudden ac-
cession To prosperity, consequent on the
gold discoveries, have made him. Still,
he is the "strong man" Of South African
politics. Clear. .hssded, unscrupulous, with
scsnt sympathy for the weak and suffer-
ing, and least Of all With the natives, fond

The New MEXICAN is gratified to note
the suggestions the Las Vegas Optic
makes toward modification of the ap-
portionment feature of the statehood bill.
These suggestions if acted on by the dele
gate, and taken in connection with the
broad and liberal nature of the resolution
adopted by the executive committee of
the territorial Republican committee, will
GO far toward clearing up the muddle
which involves this vital question here at
home and will no doubt eventually result
in a unity of sentiment that should have
great weight in our favor with members
of congress.
