Why is the wearing of the Hawaiian
straw hats by the women of Honolulu
falling into disuse? Up TO two years
ago, or even one year ago, almost every
fashionable woman in the city wore,
Hawaiian hat. In the foreroons,
when the shopping districts were
crowded, the native hats were every
where to be seen, decorated with pu-
garees or leis. some jauntily turned up
at the side, others denied in, a Is mil
itdire, but in nearly all cases they were
becoming. and above all it indicated
that the women literally patronized
home industry. Now it is a rare sight
TO see these hats. Partisan headgear,
or the latest but one from New York,
and the latest fads in straw trimming
from the mainland in general, are all
the vogue. Tourists rave over the ma
tive hats, and through them the hats
have become noticeable all over the
mainland and are always admired.
And what's more TO the point, the Ha-
waiian hats are just as effective as
ever. and it's pity the fashion is fall
ing into oisuse

Miss Ridgeway.

A delighted audience gave Miss
Katharine Ridgeway an enthusiasts
tic reception at the M. E. church
Tuesday evening. Everybody who
went to hear her had lofty precon-
ceived estimate of her abilities as a
reciter, an estimate formed either
from having heard her upon her
former appearance here or had
heard much in her praise, and we
are sure that no one was disap-
pointed in that her renditions did
not ,surpass his highest anticipa-
tons. This splendid elocutionist
was at her best on this occasion,
equal TO our highest ideal of per-
feet reciter, for her recitations were
eminently natural and soulful.
Continued culture and persistent
practice has given her perfect con-
troll of her exceptionally fine voice,
and in gracefulness of pose and
aptness of gesture her renditions
disclosed no flaw as an occasion for
detraction. The positive assurance
that the great audience was massed
as her loyal champions and enthu-
siastic admirers gave her the high
est citation and inspiration in SUI
preme endeavor to please and salts
fly.
To say that Miss Ridgeway is su-
perior to any other elocutionist who
has ever appeared before River
Falls audience is high, but not ad.
equate praise. She stands supreme
and high above all in her class. In
her previous appearances in the city
she won her way TO the first place ir
the hearts of the people, and by The

Hon. Horace L. Wadsworth died
at his residence on Union street
in this city, Tuesday morning, Dec.
80, 1902, aged 81 years, 5 months,
and 20 days.
The deceased was born in Aurora,
N. Y, July 10, 1921, and remained
there until after his marriage to
Ann r. Bolkcom Sept. 5, 1871. A
few years later he came with his
family to Beloit, this state, where
he engaged in the boot and shoe
business, continuing there until his
removal to ST. Croix county in 1851,
settling on the farm in Kinnickin-
mic where his son Jay E. Wads-
worth still resides. Some twenty
eight years ago Mr.. Wadsworth
moved to River Falls where he has
since resided. The death of his
first wife occurred June 10, 1890.
He married his present wife Sept.
II, 1892, by whom he is survived
with bis five sons and three daugh
tiers.
Mr.. Wadsworth was a leading
spirit in the political economy of
St. Croix county during it's early
history and for many years served
the people in some official capacity.
He was the first treasurer of Kin
Mechanic and the first chairman
of the board of supervisors. He
was an active member of the county
board for years; was member of
assembly from the county in 1867,
but declined to be a candidate for
subsequent elections. Since his
residence lin this city he has on
several occasions been elected to
Offices in the First ward-as Justice
of the Peace, Alderman or Supervi-
sor. In every public capacity his
honesty of purpose and good judg-
ment were displayed and recog-
nized.
He was the first to move in start
ing Sunday school in this COM
munity which soon grew into the
Congregational church, organized
in February 1855 with II members.
His death leaves Mrs. Nathaniel
Wales THE only resident charter
member. Miss E. c. Pratt of Kan
sas being the only other one of the
II who is still a member. Mr..
Wadsworth had been a devoted and
honored member Of the Congrega-
tional church here and in New York
for over 80 years. His place of
duty was always to him place of
privilege. He delighted in Christian
cheer and service.
In his death River Falls has lost
another of her oldest and staunch-
est citizens, our vicinity being
remarkable in it's large number of
residents who have been here from
the very first. The funeral will be
held from the family residence
Thursday at p. m, Revs. c. H.
Mcintosh and D. B. Spencer con-
Quoting the services.
