Obituary..

Died, at his residence in this city, on Friday
morning after brief illness, which he bore with
with christian resignation, DIR. BAILEY WASH
.IiHGTON, ,bonored as an officer and beloved as a
IN an wherever he was known.
Dr. Washington was born in Westmoreland
county, Virginia, on the 18th OF May, l7S7, and
connected by blood and birthright with the Illus
trious M an whose name he bore. AT the time OF
his death he was one Of the senior surgeons in the
United States navy, having entered il in 1910, and
served with fidelity TO the country in this depart
,ncnt with a devotion seldom surpassed. He was
the surgeon OF the Enterprise when she captured
the Boxer during the last war, and afterwards
served with efficiency on Lake Ontario under
Com. Chauncey, and was selected by that high
officer as his feet surgeon, though junior. lie
was successfully feet-surgeon under Commo'
dores Rodgers Elliott, and Patterson, in the Medi-
tcrranean, and closed his active sea service during
The Mexican war AT the time Of his death he
was consulting and visiting surgeon OF the navy
ward and marine barracks in this city, securing
from the first and maintaining 10 The last the high
esteem and regard Of his brother officers and the
government. As physician few surpassed him
ia the soundness Of his judgment and the calm
reflections which long medical practices had
afforded. But as man the simplicity and force o.
his character gave tone 10 its browning virtues
integrity and truth; while his social affections ia
the spheres Of husband father and brother, will al
! ways associate his memory with those 10 be be
| loved aud remembered
| The death of his gallant brother on board the
| ifaied San Francisco had clouded his spirits and
\ for the past few months affected his health, not o
| late years such as il had been.
| His closing hours Of life were soothed by the
| intense love Of his now bercaved widow and chill
| dren, and he breathed his last under the cheering
| influence Of christian faith and hope. He dice
without fear and without rcproach.

IL Sick Headache Remedy.-A remedy for
the sick headache which has been recently offered
TO the public, is attracting great attention, not only
by reason of the very satisfactory testimonials 10
It's efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by il, but also because
there are so great a number of people who are al
hicted with The distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public. DIR.
Eastman who discovered the efficacy of his "rem-
edy," is physician in this city, in high standing,
with large practice. lie is physician in whom
great confidence is placed; and we do not wonder
that his remedy for avery common disease, which
has been so long needed, has atractedthe attention
of all sufferers from headache who have heard of IL.
From our own knowledge of Dr. Eastman's char
acter and practice we have no doubt that the med
cne deserves the favor il receives and that will
prove TO be great benefit TO all who may give II
