Thomas Hassett, 89, died at his
home at Stafford Village yesterday
afternoon, after an illness of about
one year of a complication of diseases.
Mr. Hassett was one of the first Irish
settlers to locate here, and like the
pioneers wno louowed mm proved a
very valuable citizen. Honest, and
with muoh capacity for hard work, be
bought a home and lived to enjoy it
for many years He was first em
ployed by Colonel Foster on the farm,
and later worked in the foundry at the
Hollow. His wife died many years
ago, but he leaves five sons William
H. of Woroester, John O. and Thomas
of Rookville, George of Bennington,
Vt , and Patrick of this town. The
funeral will be held from St. Ed
ward's to-morrow at 9 80.
The attraction at St. Edward's hall
on Tuesday, March 2, will be "The
Devil," an adaptation from a Hun
garian drama, "Der Tenfel," written
by Fereno Molnar, and whioh has
been the great theatrical sensation of
Europe since its first production. An
insidiously agreeable fellow is this
devil of Molnar 's; not the gentleman
olothed in red, with cloven hoof and
horns, whom past generations have
been taught to believe held sway over
the abode of those who had sinned
and passed to another world, but
gentleman of polish, fashionably
dressed, well mannered, .witty," cyni
cal, epigrammatic and altogether lika
ble. That his ideas are measured in
badness does not take away one parti
cle of his charm, nor does it lend fear
to his companionship. When; he
talks he has something to say, and
purpose in saying it. He has that
air of savoir faire that the devil, of
all beings, must oertainly possess.
In the play he brings together' two
young persons whom in the past had
loved and parted. Marriage - has
separated them; but the ' devil, with
insidious cunning, so arranges the
situation that they meet, to find that
their love, which they had both con
scientiously believed to be dead, had
only slumbered during their Fix years
of separation. With an influence
against wbicb they- both combat
strongly, he weaves about them 18
chain of circumstances from which
they cannot escape, and at the end he
accomplishes his -purpose, two more
ouls are hit. Without poetry, with
nothing abort of. sheer deviltry, he
strips two conventional people of their
conventional safeguards, and . sends
them straight to perdition, and does
it artistically, fascinatingly, and with
the keenest of all excitement mental
excitement. Prices 85 and 50 cents.

sured that it was in the town of Wil
lington, undoubtedly led to tbe error
of mixing the items from this village

much to the confusion, dismay and
perhaps horror of the Hill correspond
ent. We hereby tender her our regrets

blame of having written items that in
