DEATH OF CAPT JOHN MILLER.


The many friends of Capt John Mil
Ter will regret to learn of his death,
which occurred last Wednesday night at
$50 O'Clock. Capt Miller was in poor
health for some time, and it became
necessary for a surgical operation,
which was performed on Wednesday
afternoon. He did not fully recover
from the effects of the ether admins
tered for the operation, and passed
quietly away at the time stated above.
Funeral services we're held Saturday
afternoon at his late residence on Main
street, conducted by Rev Joel s. Ives.
Interment was made in Union cemetery.
Messrs Robert W. Curtis, Henry
Meachen, Charles Atwood and John
Holmes of this town and Horace Pigg
and E. R. Silliman of Bridgeport acted
as pail bearers. Capt Miller was 46
years of age and leaves widow and
four children to mourn his lose.

Patrick Kelley has a curiosity in the
shape Of a young pig. 1t has two noses,
three eyes and three mouths. 1t only
lived two days. It was embalmed by
Undertaken Fables of Westport, and can

store.
D. B. Gould is very sick with chills
and fever. DR. GoFham attends him.
Miss Jennie Kelley has visited her par
ents, Mr. and Patrick Kelly.
Quite little excitement was caused
few days ago by two Italians who came
through this place on bicycles. They
stopped at several places and asked for
food. They also stopped at the residence
of J. B. Hill and not finding any one at
home, they entered the pantry window
and helped themselves to two loaves of
bread, two or three cans OF preserves,
two dozen OF eggs, and loaf of cake.
They are no doubt the same parties who
entered Benjamin Boughton's house in
Redding the same day. as they were
tracked by this place. The residence of
Jesse Wakeman was also entered ON
Monday of this week while he was
away and sIlverware, clothes, etc., were
taken. Is seems about time to try TO
put q stop TO such business as it is get
ting altogether too common in this part
OF the country.

The Leper Island of Molokai.
BISHOP f. r.. HENDRIX, d. d., LII. d, IN
THE INDEPENDENT.

A land where ore does not have to
pay taxes or rents, and where benef-
cent Government provides cottages and
rations, herds and clothing, and where
not only blankets but even medical at
tendance are without cost, Is not this
veritable Utopia? Yet such a land is
our nearest neighbor In the Pacific, and
is only some two thousand miles distant.
AS ones steamer leaving San Francisco
approaches the Hawaiian Islands before
it can drop anchor in the beautiful
harbor Of Honolulu, 1t must needs pass
Molokal. And Molokai? Why that is
the fifth island In size of the entire group
Of the Sandwich Islands and is some
forty miles In length, with an area of
about 100000 acres. On it's eastern side
are elevations of fully $500 feet, while
on its western slopes they diminish to a
height Of 1000 feet. It's valleys are
beautiful, and are filed with deer. A
herd of spotted deer, presented by the
Mikado of japan some thirty years ago,
were placed by the King of the Sand
witch Islands on Molokai, and now num-
bers some three thousand, roaming at
will over large part of the island. Here
are many kinds of the most luxuriant
tropical vegetation, the balmiest air, the
most lnvigorating sea breezes, even such
spicy breezes as blow soft DER Ceylon's
Isle. But tho every prospect pleases,
few persons can be induced to make
their home on Molokai. The entire pop
ulation Is only some three thousand, and
year ago eleven hundred and twenty
of these were lepers. Possibly nowhere
in the world is the census more carefully
taken and more accurately known than
isthe case in the northern part OF this
interesting island.
Molokai, as Is we'll known, is the name
for the leper colony of Hawaii. The
lepers do not occupy all the island, but
only grassy plain, ten miles In length,
and varying from one to two miles in
width on the north side of the island,
and yet separated wholly from the rest
of the island and its population by a
precipice fully a thousand feet high,
which can be scaled at only one point,
and here 1t Is securely guarded. Des-
pite their freedom from taxation and
rents, their ample supplies of food and
clothing, their abundant herds of cattle
and horses, and their fertile fields which
require so little labor, the lepers are vir-
tuallY life-prisoners, shut in by the ocean
on one side and by the impossible noun
tain on the other. Most of the lepers are
natives, but foreigners are found among
the colonists, and all who once come to
this part Of Molokai, save to bring sup
plies, or to inspect, as the Board OF Health
twice each year, do so with the expecta-
tion of never returning. at cost of
some $4,000 per month, the Hawaiian
Government maintains this open-air Leper
Hospital In order TO perfectly quarantine
and tEus finally stamp out leprosy among
the Sandwich Islanders. Sheltered from
the strong sea wind, the plain of Kalau-
papa would make an Ideal place of resi-
dence, alike for It's beautiful surround
inga and the salubrity Of liza climate !;
and here everything 10 done, compatible
