LOCATION OF HOMES.

1t is an open question whether the
crowding of the population on the low
er levels has not as much to do with
the increased death rate as poor sani-
tation due to lack of a sewer system
Honolulu is one Of the few cities in
the tropics where Providence is tempt
ed by the majority Of its residents es-
tablishing their homes on the flats
hardly above the level of the sea. The
People are gradually coming to
realization that they have banked too
heavily on the trade winds" and that
even this benefcent feature of the
climate" cannot overcome the un-
healthful conditions created by crowd
ing the lower sections of the city with
cottages packed almost as closely as
New York tenements.
With the splendid scenery and cool
atmosphere that can be obtained in al
must any iONdtiou III tht hiiiS anu var
leys back fro mthe city 1t is indeed
remarkable that such a large proper
ton of the population is satisfied 10
swelter in the city proper where rents
are high and surroundings not attruC-
tive. There are immense tracts on both
sides and on the hills back of the city
where good locations can be secured
at nominal figures and on easy
terms. As the population gradually
moves to these locations and the higher
attitudes become dotted with homes,
1t is safe to predict that not only will
the monthly health records show an
Improvement, but the reputation OF
Honolulu as a city of comfort and
beauty will receive a marked impetus
The Orientals will always crowd TO-
gether in squalid quarters wherever
they may choose to locate. Other ele-
ments Of the population, however, ma
turally seek homes with plenty OF
light and air and garden plot. As the
extension Of rapid transit lines makes
the business portion of the city easily
accessible, the gradual exodus to thg
higher levels will prove a boon to the
community in more ways than one.

Especial correspondence" furnishes a
good example Of the manner in which
the Associated Press and the Chronicle
are used for the circulation of misreo-
reservations regarding public matters
in Hawaii. The statement that "the
bar with almost entire unanimity has
signed a petition" for Mr.. De Bolt is
an absolute falsehood and the whole
tenor of the dispatch is one of studied
Misrepresentation of the judges. the
bar and the business community.

GRACE Mckinley SCHo0LMA'AM.
President Mckinley Wanted to Adopt Her; But
She Prefers to Teach.

It is seldom that a young girl, who
may have wealth and the highest social
position, chooses the drugdery and irk-
some duties Of a schoolteacher. Such a
unique specimen Of fair American
maidenhood is found in the orphan
niece of President. Mckinley, Miss
Grace Mckinley. A year ago, last
June, the president and Mrs. McKin-
ley, with a party Of friends-cabinet
officers and other prominent officers
went to that staid and distinguished
seat Of learning, Mount Holyoke COL
lege, Massachusetts, to see Miss Grace
take her degree Of A. B. Few events
in the official life Of our present execu-
tive have given him such genuine pleas
ure as this graduation. Miss Grace
stood at the head Of her class, while
her record during the entire course,
had been one Of praiseworthy endeav-
or The president, to show his appre-
citation Of her success, bestowed on his
niece a beautiful diamond pin. The
graduation dress, a dainty creation Of
white chiffon and lace, was Mrs Nc
Kinley's gift. It was made at the
White House, under the personal su-
pervislon Of it's gentle mistress.
It was after this great event that
the president offered to adopt Miss
Grace, formally, and thus make her
the reigning belle Of the nation-the
social leader Of the capitalize only
young girl in the presidential mansion
at Washington.
This was surely tempting offer, but
it did not swerve this beautiful and
brilliant girl from long-cherished as
piration. She wished to use her gifts
in a fitting way-in one to which she
had endeavored to train herself during
her long and severe probation at Mount
Holyoke. She chose the arduous pro-
fession of a school teacher, and this
fall, on her own application, sustained
by her record at college, she secured a
position in the high school at Middle
town, Conn. She began her duties In
eptember.-December Success.

er-general Of the Boer army, General
Joubert, lay dying, he was asked who
was the best man to fill his place. And,
he, the gray veteran, did not hesitate
for second; but with his dying breath
gasped out the name of Louis Botha.
The Boer government appointed him
to the position, and from that day to
this he has been the paramount mill
tary power in the Boer lines. He Is not
the only one Of his line fighting under
the Transvaal flag. There have been
four other brothers in the field. AS
soldier Louis Botha has proved him
self the foeman worthy the steel Of any
Of our generals; as a man, his worst
enemy can say nothing derogatory
concerning him, for in all his actions
he has borne himself like a gentleman.
He is generous and courteous in the
hour of victory, stout hearted and self
renant in the time Of disaster-just the
type of soldier that a great nation like
ours knows how to esteem, even though
he Is an enemy in arms against us.

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
Rapid Growth Of the Service Source Of Grat-
lflcation.

The continued an. rapid growth Of
the postal service Is sure index Of
the great and increasing business activ-
ity of the country. It's most striking
new development Is the extension Of ru-
raj free delivery. This has come almost
wholly within the last year. At the
beginning Of the fiscal year 1899-1900
the number Of routes in operation was
only 391, and most of these had been
running less than twelve months. On
the 18th Of November, 1900. the number
had increased to 2,614, reaching into A
states and territories and serving apop-
ulation of 1901, ,524. The number Of ap-
plications now pending and. awaiting
action nearly equals all those granted
up to the present time, and by the close
of the current fiscal year about 1000
routes will have been established, pro-
viding for the daily delivery Of mails
at the scattered homes Of about 3,500,000
Of rural population.
This service ameliorates the isolation
Of farm life, conduces to good roads
and quickens and extends the dissem-
ination of general information. Expe-
rience thus far has tended to allay the
apprehension that it would be so ex-
pensive as to forbid its general adop-
ton or make it a serious burden. It's
actual application has shown that it in
creases postal receipts, and can be ac-
companied by reductions in other
branches Of the service, so that the
augmented revenues and the accom-
plished savings together materially re-
duce the net cost. The evidences which
point to these conclusions are presented
in detail in the annual report Of the
postmaster general, which, with its rec
concentrations, is recommended to the
consideration Of congress-. The full de-
velopment Of this special service, how
ever, requires such a large outlay Of
money that it should be undertaken on
ly after careful study and thorough
understanding of all that It involves

WHEN THE FROST Is ON THE
PUNKIN.

When the frost is on the punkin and
the folders in the shock,
And you hear the kyouck and gobble of
the struttin' turkey cock,
And the clackin' of the guineas, and
the cluckin' Of the hens,
And the ROSTERS hally looyeh as he
tiptoes on the fence;
Oh, it's then the times a feller is a
feelin' at his best,
With the risin' sun to greet him from
a night of peaceful rest,
AS he leaves the house. barehead, and
goes out to feed the stock,
When the frost is on the punkin and
the folders in the shock.
They's something kind O. harty-like
about he atmosphere,
When the heat of summers over and
the coolin' fall is here
OF course we miss the flowers, and the
blossoms on the trees,
And the humble Of the hummin' birds
and buzzin' of the bees;
But the airs so appetiZin', and the
landscape through the haze
OF a crisp and sunny morning of the
airly autumn days
Is a pictur' that no painter has the
colorin' to mock
When the frost is on the punkin and
the folders in the shock.
The husky, rusty rustic Of the tossels
Of the corn,
And the raspin' of the tangled leaves,
as golden as the morn;
The stubble in the furries-kind o lone
some like, but still
A preachin' sermons to us Of the barns
they growed to fill;
The strawstack in the medder, and the
reaper in the shed:
The horses in the stalls below-the
clover overhead
Oh, it sets my heart a'clickin' like the
tickin' of q clock,
When the frost Is on the punkin and
the folders in the shock.

BECAME VIOLENTLY INSANE.

Essex, March 2.--Nils Svedin, the big
SWede, aged thirty-five years, standing
six feet and five inches In height, and
weighing 275 pounds, who came to this
country about two years ago and To-
Gated in Essex and who for the past
few months has been employed at the
Essex WoodTurning works, became
suddenly insane on Friday Leaving
his boarding place on South street dur
ing the night, in his stocking feet. he
went to the residence of Justice I. v.
Horton, distance of two and one-half
miles, on the old Westbrook road, where
he was formerly employed as a farm
hand. Breaking into the house he
frightened the inmates. After they
found out who he was they cared for
him until morning, when Deputy Sher-
III James L. Pratt took him to Haddam
Jail. Svedin imagined that he was do
ing police duty, as he was on the police
force for several years in Sweden be-
fore coming to this country. He will
probably be taken to the insane asylum
at Middletown this week, as he is very

ANOTHER SMALLPOX SCARE.
Captain of Barge Was Thought to
be III With the Disease

Captain of a Barge Was Thought to
be III With the Disease.
Edgar Morris, captain of the canal
boat Annie Brown, was found in the
cabin of his boat yesterday i'll and un-
able to get out because he was almost
totally blind. The boat has been here
in port for about a week, and as he had
not been seen by his acquaintances
some of them thought it rather strange
and went to the boat yesterday to look
him up Going upon the boat they
found the cabin door tightly closed, but
the window was open. A man named
McGilvray, who was in the party, went
to the window and saw the captain ly-
ing on the cot inside. He appeared to
be i'll, and in response to call he feebly
replied. warning his friends not to
come in, but to send a doctor. The
investigating party fearing that he had
smallpox hastily withdrew and going
to the Grand avenue police station re-
ported the case to Captain Brewer, who
in turn reported it to Superintendent
Spier of the department Of charities and
correction. DR.. Phelps was sent to att
tend the man. The physician found
that he was almost totally blind, this
evidently being due to another disease.
Morris was taken to New Haven hos
pital. where it was said last night that
it was thought that he would recover
his eyesight. 1t was said there that he
was not i'll with smallpox, and that his
condition was not very serious.
