ROCKVILLE. ;

Captain William H. Cady of the Rockville police force, aged GA, drop. ped dead Sunday noon while on duty.
 The captain had made two arrests for intoxication just before, but in each case the prisoner went along without making trouble He was on his way to police headquarters, when he fell forward on his face. Officer Forster,
 who had just left him, hastened back,
 and with the aid of bystanders nearby carried the captain to Central Park, near by, and laid him on the grass.
 Dr. Rockwell was summoned and pronounced the death due to an apo pletic shock. Captain Cady was uni versally respected and there is wide spread regret over his death. He had been captain of the Rockville police force since the incorporation of the city in 1889, and had filled the office faithfully. He did day duty, the three regular patrolmen being on duty nights The captain was native of Brimfeld, Mass. He later lived in Somers, going from there to Lake wood, N. J. MT. Oady came to Rock vile in 1888. He is survived by g wife and two children, Mrs. Fred. J.
 Cooley and Clarence w. Oady, design CT at the New England mill. The funeral will be held this afternoon al o'clock. .#... . .

JOYS OF LIFE IN HAWAII.
Mosquitoes the Only FIaw-Not Eves
 Servant Problem.

Mosquitoes the Only FIaw-Not Even a Servant Problem.
 Birds are everywhere in Hawaii Their music fills the quivering air. One wonders why we do not all live in this paradise, where life seems to, stretch out before one in long, languid dream
 of delight. -- ...- Suddenly through your dreaming comes a rude awakening. The Ha- waiian mosquito the one flaw in the gem, the only thorn in the garden, has called to make your acquaintance and bid you welcome to his domain.
 The houses, with their broad veran- das filled with palms and flowers and furnished with tables, chairs, ham, mocks and grass rugs. are a paradise to the weary traveller. It is here that the Honolulu people enjoy their glo- rious climate. '~''' .* :s''
 The lawns, thick and veivety as.1 a carpet. were kept in perfect order by the yard boys, for experienced servants Chinese, Japanese and Portuguese can always be had. Tn fact, the servant problem causes no worry to the house. wife, who has but little anxiety in this land of plenty. -'.'. 'r .....,
 Everybody seems to take life easily. The offices close very early, and no one seems to know what care is. The sug- ar barons, their capital once rightly in vested, draw their dividends, and the rest of life Is required to spend them. We stop at the home of our friend, a bungalow that Is the picture of com fort One end of the veranda Is used as sun parlor, sheltered by windows and screens. for what they call cold days-6O degrees above zero.

Matters of importance Forgotten Be-
 cause of Martha Custis.


 cause of Martha Custis.
 In the traditions of any member of the Washington family the story of Martha Curtis is of supreme impor- tance, writes Cora A. Moore in the New Broadway Magazine.
 It happened one day that she was visiting at the plantation of a neigh bor, Major Chamberlayne, when there came riding in haste an officer in the British uniform. The business that he had with the major he transacted quickly, declining an invitation to stay because, as he declared, he was on his way to the governor at Wil- liamsburg on matters of importance. But the host repeated the invitation more urgently, slyly remarking that hs had also beneath his roof the hand- somest widow in Virginia; a young and charming woman.
 An, lady in the case! That was different. But the plans of men have often waited on Cupid. When the off, cer bowed low over the hand of the lady whom he met in the majors draw ing room he forgot Williamsburg and the governor, and she,- pleased with the courage of that coloneE George Washington, of whose military fame she had heard so much, scintillated and spark1ed with even more than her usual fascination. That evening, long after the rest of the household had re- tired, he and the charming widow sat by the fireplace in the shadowy draw ing room quite without a chaperon to regulate the tide of swiftly moving events.
 Soon there was a resplendent we'd ding at the home of the bride. Direct ly afterward a coach and six horses, guided by liveried black positions, con veyed the newly married pair to her town house in williamsburg. Business interests for some time demanded the presence of Colonel Washington at the capital. Later he took his bride and her two children, Martha Parle Custfs- and John Parke Custis, to his own es- tate at Mount Vernon, where they en- joyed that happy domestic life which is celebrated in history.
