Death of Mrs. Abel Shorey.

The remains Of Mrs. Abel Shorey were
brought here from Methuen, Mass, last
Tuesday for interment, accompanied by
her son Albro. Funeral services at the
cemetery Wednesday morning conducted
by Rev. Mr.. Cole. She was 81 years OF
age and had spent the most OF her
lie in this part of the town. She was
the daughter of David Wing and spent
her girhood days in the house now occu-
pied by E. H. IIallett, when it stood on
what is now called Wing Hill, about
half mile east OF where it now stands.
After she married Mr.. Shorey they
lived good many years on the place now
occupied by Mr.. Beauregard on the road
to Bible Hill. They lived few years on
the farm where Tracy Wiley now lives.
Nearly thirty years ago they bought
the house in this village opposite the
prist mill where they resided until the
big fire % years ago, which consumed
their house with many others. They re-
built and had quiet, happy home until
about seven years ago Mr.. Shorey died.
Since then she has lived with her son
Albro, the only surviving member OF the
family. They had four children, Lovett,
Harlan, Albro and Ella. Mrs. Shorey unit
ed with the gational church in her
Younger DAYS, was a devoted christian,
ALWAYS working for the interest OF the
church and the cause of Christ. She was
a good Bible student which made her a
reliable help in the Sunday school and
PRAYER meetings; the cause of Missions
and other benevolent societies received
her attention. In all her trials and at
flictions in life she manifested great
patience and trust in God.

Association LEGISLATION.
The Fight Promises to Be waged
FierCely


tits expected that the question of the
annexation OF Hawaii will be settled
early in the session. 1t is an admins
tration measure which might have been
easily passed at the extra session 1t
will now. from all appearances, be an
embarrassing question and, in the opin-
ion of some, il bids fair TO be passed
by such a small vote as to be a not very
fiattering compliment to the sugges-
ton of the leader of the Republican
party.
Senator Frye is pledged to pushing
the treaty OF annexation and when the
extra session adjourned he said that the
annexation would have immediate at
tention on the reassembling of Con-
gress. Since then certain things have
happened which have had considerable
effect in raising the hopes of anti-an-
nexationists.
The anti-anuexation lobby is expected
TO begin work. this week. The forces
against annexation are of two classes
principally. the sugar kings of Hawaii
who work to retain their leases on
sugar land, and the other is members
of Congress who are rejecting the SEN
timent of the beet sugar industries of
the West. One of the most intelligent
and influential politicians of Colorado
now in this city. said last night that
Colorado was against annexation and
that there was a growing sentiment in
the far West against it, He admitted.
however, that the feeling in opposition
was to an almost exclusive extent con-
fined to the people who We're interested
in keeping out Hawaiian sugar
There is now in Washington and has
been for some time lobby of native
Hawaiians, who are working ostensibly
in the interest of the restoration of eX-
Queen Liliuokolani.
The motive below the surface is said
to be at work to prevent annexation at
cost The sugar planters in Hawaii
think that if the Dole government is
left alone it win succumb and will be
Obliged to renew the leases of the sugar
lands. This plan will suit them just
as well as the restoration of the
monarchy.
The native Hawaiian delegation came
here with the announced intention of
going before the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations. 1t has not done so,
and the reason for failure in this re-
spect has not been explained. There is
reason to believe that it will first try
work in the House.
There is just now an interesting
growing out of the state
of affairs relating to Hawaii. 1t is
said that the Republicans of the House
are so divided on the questions of Cuba
and Hawaii that they will not be
able to get together. A great many of
the Eastern, Middle and Western Re-
publicans wish to sustain the President
on the Hawaiian question, but they
fear the Republicans of the far West,
who will have no Hawaii.
Those who oppose Hawaiian annexa-
ton are in favor of the annexation of
Cuba, and there is imminent danger of
a first-class row in the House between
the Republicans when the question of
either Hawaii or Cuba is broached. The
row may break out this week.
