attention in the medical world, but with little
effect in staying its mvages, the most skillful

A little song was uttered somewhere

around the world with melody, like the

DEATH OF THE Hon. RICHARD Rusu.-
The Washington Constitution of Saturday
evening announces the death of the Hon.
Richard Rush, at Philadelphia, on Satur-
day morning, at an advanced age. Mr..
Rush was the son Of DR.. Benjamin Rush,
one Of the signers of the Declaration of In
dependence. Mr.. Rush was appointed At
torney General by President Madison in
1914, upon the resignation of tie Hon.
William Pinkney, of Maryland. In 1917
he was appointed Minister to England by
President Monroe, and he aterward pub
iished Il volume of his Recollections at the
pointed Secretary Of the Treasury by John
Quincy Adams, and made an elaborate re.
port in favor OF a protective tariff. He was
afterwards nominated as a candidate for the
Vice Presidency on The same ticket with
Mr.. Adams, who was defeated for the Pres
idency by General Jackson; was afterwards
identified with democratic politics, but we
believe never again entered public Lille.

families of this State. Baltimore Sun.
