The following notice Of the Hon. Ham

many of our older citizens as the hus-

QUIEs YESTERDAY.
The remains of the late Hamilton
Smith were yesterday placed in vault
in Oak Hill cemetery. The funeral
took place from the residence of Judge
Key, in Georgetown. The pall-bearers
were Judge Niblack of Indiana, Mr..
Beck of Kentucky, DIR. Brodhead, Gen.
Vincent, General Dunn, DR.. Lindsey,
DR.. Peter Parker and Judge Weed.
I Two of his sons, Huntington Smith of
st. Louis, and Ballard Smith of the
Louisville Courier journal, arrived in
season to be present at the funeral. Mr..
Smith was for many years one of the
leading lawyers of the west, and during
that time prominent citizen of Louis
vile. He was born in New Hampshire
in 1904, and graduated from Dartmouth
College in 1927 with high honors. He
was associated in college with Chief JUS
tice Chase. and they were lifelong
friends. On leaving college Mr.. Smith
came to Washington, and lived here for
several years. He studied law under
William Writ and Levi Woodbury., and
in 1882 entered upon legal practice in
Louisville. In fifteen years practice he
accumulated handsome fortune In
1910 he invested largely in an extensive
tract of coal land at Cannelton, Indiana
and in 1851 he removed to that point
and entered largely into manufacturing
operations, establishing cotton mills, &c
He encouraged and assisted the opera
tiyes in obtaining homes, so that, unlike
most other manufacturing towns, the la
borers there are thrifty, honest, sober anC
industrious. There never has been 8
strike in the mill or coal mines connect
ed with them. While seldom taking an
active part in politics, Mr.. Smith ha:
been held in high esteem by the grea
party leaders of the nation He was
delegate to the Chicago convention
which nominated Mcclellan in 1864 ant
in 1868 he was present at the New Yorl
democratic convention as the confiden
tial friend of Chief Justice Chase, anC
was understood to be and acted as tn
exponent of that statesman's views ant
sentiments in the discussions anterio
to the meeting of the convention as t
the most available candidate to be adopt
ed by the party. During the recent sen
atorial election in Indiana Mr.. Smit
was named prominently as a compromis
candidate in case the democracy coul
not agree upon either Judge Mcdonald
or Mr.. VOORHEES,.

ATTEMPTED ROBBERY ON A SLEEP
ING CAR-People who ride at night in
sleeping cars cannot be too careful of
their money, if they have any. Mrs.
Foss, the elocutionist, who has been read
ing in Western cities this winter with
great success, was riding in a sleeping
car few nights since between Milwau-
kee and Chicago, and upon retiring
placed her pocket-book, containing about
$500, under her pillow. We allow Mrs.
Foss to describe subsequent events:

tion of travels and was growing little
drowsy, when l felt something like the
spirits hands creeping slowly over the
back Of my neck toward my throat. !

there was nothing there. l thought il
was the blanket jostied by the car, and
was dropping off to sleep again when il
came again, quicker and harder. / put
up my hand as quick as lightning, rose
and struggled with a great, coarse man:

rushed to me-(he was asleep. Othel
gentlemen sprang up. / couldn't speaE
for several moments, and painted anC
gasped as though l was choking. / ex
planned as well as | could, but the con
ductor said nothing could be done till
we reached Chicago and then l should
probably be detained as witness, if

Working the Roads.

The proper working of the public
roads is a matter in which all our citi-
zens are interested, sincezit alike affects
the business and pls@8re of:all. The
present Board of County Commission
ers are now giving themattsr their ear
nest attention, ard to this end have ap-
pointed meetings in-the, various town
ships of the County, to which theyyln-
vite the attendance and solicit thee coop
Grafton of road oversccrs and other cItl-
zens. We publish list Of appoints
ments in another column, commencing
with White Hall on Thursday the S29th
ult. and ending at Rifey's School House
OH the 10th August 1t is the desire ofthe
Board to devise some acknowledgement of
working the roads, and they wish free
conference on the subject. We trust
that there will be good attendance at
all the points indicated, as there is need
of prompt action in the premises. In
Long Cane township especially and i'll
Lowndesville, the roads are in good
condition, but in many other sections
they ,pre sadly out Of order. Let all
sections do their duty and strengthen

When of course his cause did plead,
And told her how his heart did bleed.
And a. she started for to go

She said "tlcar sir, at this old gate,
I'll frankly fell you your true fate"
"Nour humble plcalings are in vain,
Another i'm my heart doth reign,
Fate hath dccreed that you can be
Nothing but Il friend to me.'
With streaming eyes he had to part
With The dearest idolof his heart,
But not until it was growing late
Did he lorSakc the kitchen gate.
So memory around that gate will cling,
And to our hcro's mind will bring. -
A remembrance OF his sad sad fate
Which he met at the kitchen gate.

is set them by the young ladies who
pretend to be the first of society? My
dear young ladies the church is II poor
place in which to laugh and talk to the
boys. The world expects better OF you.
