SAD DEATH OF
MRS. MARY w. GRAVES.
Young Wife of Edward III. Graves
Died Last Wednesday Just
Before Noon.

Deplorably sad is the death of Mrs.
Mary W. Graves, wife of Edward H.
Graves, of the Hotel Cumberland.
The young woman succumbed to the
inevitable just before noon last We'd
day, and a more sorrowing home and
anguished family never received sym
athy from sincere friends.
Few who knew Mrs. Graves can
realize that the loved form will
be hidden away from sight for
ever in the silent tomb in beautiful
Broad st. cemetery. The picture
of perfect health, high spirited,
gay, never ailing, Mrs. Graves
was familiar figure, living rather
publicly, as she did, at the Hotel
Cumberland
Mrs. Graves was taken i'll about
three weeks ago, and complications
seemed to Immediately arise which
made her condition very serious.
Sunday she was much worse and Mon
day her condition was very alarming,
and she continued to grow worse
Wednesday an operation was deemed
absolutely necessary, with chances
very much against success, and so it
proved, death relieving awful suffer
! ing just before the noon hour.
Mrs. Graves was the only daughter
of Assemblyman William J.. Moore,
vivacious, and of particularly happy
disposition she was always popular
with large circle of friends, and
idolized by her family. About five
years ago she married Edward H.
Graves, Manager of the Hotel Cum
berland, and her domestic life has
been particularly free from care, and
always she was the same, jovial,
happy and light hearted When her
illness developed alarming symptoms,
she was taken to the home of her par
ents ON North Pearl street, where she
died.

GAME WARDEN
CONNER HAS EYES OPEN.
He Caught a Rabbit Chaser Sum-
day and is After the Dove
Shooters.

Game Warden Conner is not taking
any vacation, and the people who
violate the game laws are likely to
suffer in consequence. Sunday
morning the Warden took tramp out
by the old rug mill swamp, and he
had not been out there a great while
before he had caught a young man
with dog chasing rabbit. Had it
not been for the official the cotton tail
would have lost his valuable young
life. That will mean a warrant for
the young man.
Monday theGame Warden went down
the river. Reports have been made to
him that doves are being killed in
that vicinity. The open season for
dove shooting does not come in until
the first day of August, and sports
men are of the opinion that that is
too early. Yet the illegal gunner is
already at work, despite the fact that
the birds are breeding. 1t will cost
these fellows $50 per dove, and Con-
ner will find them out.

GUMMERE IN POLITICS AGAIN

gressional Nomination.

Trenton, N. j., July 22.-Barker
Gummere was to-day elected chair
man of the Republican County Com
mittee to succeed former Senator
William Fl. Skirm, resigned.
This is looked upon as a re-entry
into politics of Mr.. Gummere, who a
little more than year ago, announced
through the newspapers that he had
retired from the political field for
good. 1t is thought that he has his
eye on the Congressional nomination
a year hence.

ELECTRIC BOLTS
PLAY SAD HAVOC.
Vineland Was Scene of Terror
Because of Awful Storm.

Vineland, N. j., July 19.-The
town was thrown into terror and al
most general panic by a terrific cleo
trio storm tonight. In the space of
Is minutes four buildings were struck
by lightning and the ear-splitting
crashes of thunder struck terror to
the hearts of some of the bravest.
Mrs. Sarah Persons house was set
on fire and completely ruined. The
bolt tore its way through the roof
and end of the building, tearing off
shutters and throwing window cas-
ings into the midst of the family.
All were stunned, but miraculously
escaped being struck by flying tim
bers.
AT the residence of Isaac Sharp a
bolt took every brick out of the Chin
ney down to the second floor and
shattered the whole house. Mrs.
Sharp's shoes were torn from her feet
and one foot badly burned. A sister
of Mrs. Sharp was paralyzed in one
leg and pet dog was killed.
lightning damaged the Sacred
Heart Church rectory and slightly
stunned the inmates. A large hole
was torn out of Thomas Hirst's rug
factory. Numerous trees were struck.
The storm was the most destructive
known here for years.

Knocked Saw From Carpenters Hand.
Egg Harbor, N. j., July 10. While
at work during a severe electrical
storm late this afternoon William
Knee, a carpenter, had a saw knocked
out of his hand by bolt of light
ming. The saw was completely de-
molished and Knee was thrown to the
round, but not injured in the least.
The storm was one of the severest this
'city has seen for many years, and
played havoc with trees and out
buildings.

Where do they come from? These

LANGUAGE AND SCHOOLS,

The Hawaiian islands, since annexa-
ton to the United States, are having
the same experience that New Mexico
passed through when IL became a ter
ritory. The Bulletir, OF Honolulu,
says:
In dealing with the subject of Ian
guage In the schools, Hawaiian-Amer-
cans should be careful not to allow
their intense love for their own Ian
guage to get the best of their better
judgment.
The duty OF the Law makers toward
the children of this territory Is to pro.
vide such educational equipment as
will enable young men and women to
make Roadway In the world under con
ditions as they exist in the leading
business and social centers. The En-
glish language has become as near the
universal language Of tho world as has
any tongue since the tower OF Babel.
IL would not only be unfair, il would
almost be criminal to force the child
rem of our schools to be taught only
In a language by which they cannot
make themselves understood outside
the limits Of the territory. Even in
Hawaii the scholar who speaks only
hawaiian is seriously handicapped II
he hopes to take any part in leading
business affairs.
Hawaiian as an elective study In all
the schools will serve a splendid pur-
pose in keeping fresh the traditions of
a race possessing most excellent quail
tiles. Those, however, who would ad-
vance, who would keep pace with the
times and requirements of the bust
ness world, must accept conditions as
they are. We In Hawaii cannot upset
the facts and tendencies OF progress
siye communities. To attempt II
means only being left In the lurch,
while others forge ahead.
