Out OF self to love be led
And 10 heaven acclimated
Until all things sweet and good.
Seem my natural habitude'
1t is difficult to close without men
ton OF one more need for Honolulu
perhaps the greatest need OF all, that
IS hospital Tor women and children.
/ he subject has been talked Of cannot
the construction OF it be fastened by
those IN authority? That it would fur
nlsh wholesome and needful occupation
Tor girls may be considered secondary
consideration, yet 1t Is not. This, too,
is necessity owing to the Jew avenues
open to the young native women. From
what 1 have observed many Hawaiian
girls, with their accurate memories and
shlIitul ringers are admirably adapted
Ior positions IN hospitals. They are
naturally attracted to the work and with
tlelr pleasing appearance, quiet and
gentle manners, they would not be I'M
congenla TO the average patient.
L Go not shrink from mentioning the
TACT that owing to the low moral char
dcter OF many patients, and the nature
OF diseases treated at the Queens Hos
pital 1t is positively unsafe for Hawai-
IAN girls TO be sent there for medical
attention. Not long ago one was re-
called, 1t being felt better to risk the
physical condition, feeble as it was, than
The moral.
The necessity Tor hospital exclu-
s1vely for chaste women and children is
no longer a question.
Connected with the subject OF hos
pitfalls is the thought of the patient at
nome. y poor convalescent sat, one
day, III the little close room where she
had been confined for such long, weary
weeks, gazing from her narrow window
into the great, beautiful, fresh, out-of
doors. She watched the private car
rlages rolling by, one after another,
often with two, sometimes with three,
vacant seats. n very little ride in the
cool air would have been for her
pleasure to be remembered for many
days and how she longed for it,
solve, poor though she was, that when
she was well again she would give OF
her own time and money to make it
possible for weary invalids, fretful
children and poor over-worked women
to have an occasional carriage ride, and
she carried out her resolve.
Is such work of less value than the
translation OF Psalm?
To the toilworn, disconsolate women
who were gladdened through her Ell
forts, the sea and sky, the valleys and
mountains, the trees and howers,-all
nature declared the glory of God; and
the opportunity thus given to behold
and enjoy these beautiful things of ma
ture revealed more fully unto them the
power of Christ's love, and led them to
believe more deeply in the sisterhood
OF woman.
Let us not be afraid of sentiment but
only OF selhshneSS.

JERSEY LILY WED.
Mrs. Langtry Marries Hugo
Gerald De Battle
Secretly.

London, Aug. 15.-Mrs. Lily Langtry,
the actress, was married July q, at the
island of Jersey, to Hugo Gerald de
Battle, 2S years of age, the eldest son of
Sir Henry Percival de Battle, Bart a
retired general, formerly lieutenant
colonel of the Scotch Guards and a
Crimean veteran. The ceremony was
private, the only witness being Mrs.
Langtry's daughter. The Prince of
Wales is said to have baen in the con-
fidence of the pair, and he Immediately
sent them a telegram of congratula-
tons. The wedding occurred the day
Mrs. Langtry's Norman" won the
Goodwood cup. Sir Henry de Battle
has seats in Devonshire, Sussex and
Continents, to which the count is
heir. The bridegroom is the brother of
Mesdames Harry McCalmont and Har-
ry Lawson and Lady Crossley. The
wedding will not interfere with Mrs.
Langtry's forthcoming season at the
Haymarket
Mrs. Langtry said: Eyes, it is quite
true I am married to Mr.. De Battle. The
wedding occurred very quietly at my
old church, St. Saviors, Island of Jer-
sey, where my dear old father officiated
so often. 1t was pretty much in the
nature Of a runaway match, as we
kept it to ourselves, hoping it would
leak out gradually. l see the papers

Fitchburg, Aug. 15.-Great excite
ment still prevails in the neighborhood
of the Italian tragedy of Sunday night,
and hundreds of people visited the
scene of the affair yesterday and to-
day. A large number came in teams,
but bicycles seemed to be the favorite
vehicle.
Not alone in that vicinity has the af-
fair been thoroughly discussed, but in
the Italian camps on the Westminster
road, where a large number are en-
gagged in building the Gardner, West
minister and Fitchburg railroad, and
also at East Fitchburg, where the col
ony that is doing the grade crossing
work here are quartered.
1t was a relief, however, to the fore
men Of these places to know that the
companion of the dead man was not
any of their workmen, but on the con-
trary a resident Of this city. He is a
fruit dealer and related to others in
that business here. He does not hold
a city license to peddle, but one from
the state. He Is not unknown to the
police, having been arrested before for
minor offenses.
The police are congratulating them
selves on the way they traced Palzi-
man to Worcester, and hope to get him
before he gets to Boston. Once there
he would probably burrow deeply into
the Italian quarter and await quiet
time to steal away somewhere else.
An autopsy on the body revealed the
fact that there were two other stiletto
wounds.
The stabs made by the murderer on
the right side, one of which penetrated
the Jung and probably caused DEATH

tity of clotted blood found in the lung
that was penetrated.
This morning it was learned that
Palziman's family reside in Boston, and
to this haven he is undoubtedly hur-
rying. As he is on foot, however, it
will be some little time before he ar
rives.
There was a report today that the
man was seen in the vicinity of the
fray today, but the police do not take
much stock in the yarn. The wanted
man is known under three names-Par-
ligiano, Tabziman and Palziman.
From the photograph taken under
the order Of Medical Examiner Thomp-
son, it looks as though Alamie crawled
to the side of the road that was to be
his death bed, and probably while
weak from the loss of blood laid him
self down to his last sleep
The fact that his coat was under his
head leads to the belief that his as
sailant placed it there for him, but the
natural pose of the body does not make
it clear that the murdered man was
placed where he was found.
The point where the body laid is just
this side of the Westminster town line.
1t is rather of a wild locality, there be-
ing no houses in the immediate neigh
borhood, but some perhaps within call
ing distance.
The accompanying photograph repre-
sents the murdered man as he was
found Monday morning, and before the
body had been moved. The stains on
the shirt on the right side are from the
fatal stiletto wounds, as the lung per-
forated was on the right side.
The police are still actively at work
following their man, and have every
| hope of landing him before long Off

CHESTER A. DIRE SSER.
Death Of Well Known Man
ufacturer in South Wor-

Southbridge, Aug. Chichester Am
midtown Dresser, a man known almost
as well as the town of Southbridge,
died very suddenly of heart disease this
morning. Mr.. Dresser's health had been
poor for some time and his heart had

to the townspeople and business men as
Mr.. Dresser was thought to be in his
usual health.
Mr.. Dresser was born in Southbridge,
Sept. 2, 1913, the son of Chester and
Deborah (Ammidown) Dresser. His en-
