Dead he lay among his books.
Tie peace of God was in his looks.

Gone as travellers haste to leave

termincd 10 run from II II u came there again.
This rs oil wrong; all should stay who have
had the disease aud assist In taking care Of tho
sick but nll others who can get away should
go. make exceptions as to doctors, apotheca-
ries and ministers. They should stay. II Is
their calling. aud they should no more desert,
In time of trouble, their friends, than n
soldier should desert in time Of battle. Bnt
! must speak against doctors and nurses who
have never had the fever rushing TO an afflicted
place. To nurses this Is absolutely absurd ;
they know nothing about the disease, more
than the hundreds in the afflicted place they
do not know where drug store Is, where to
90 for ice and any supplies, and most of them
get sick before they can nurse through two
patients, and many die--absoutely throwing
away their lives and doing no good. The
same may be said of doctors residing out of the
afflicted city. You have no business leaving a
place of safety and rushing into danger for only
one weeks work, and with the probability that
you will be a patient yourself before You can
see single case safely through the disease.
This was fcarfully true Mt Memphis. About
sixty-fvo doctors came there that had not had
the disease, forty.two died, and only one
escaped having the disease. One had the
disease who had had n previous attack, and
died. Of the sixteen physicians from
my State (Texas) ten had had the disease.
More died aud none were sick except
iIoHi cAnOsurc ana luVIUucuCc' VI IHc
six who had not had the disease before, five
had II, one Of whom died, one recovered
and one escaped. The same might be said of
the nurses. This shows the folly Of rushing
to an epidemic, and all should be prevented
from going by railroads, refusing passes eX-
cept IN special cases where the parties have
relatives III the place. Ono example Is ola ply
stefan who worked eight days, was sick in the
hospital forty.odd days, and cost the Towards
nearly 81 600 This ie Nyhnt hpramp ni
much of the money sent us, and thank
God for such kind friends, for without the
money scarcely know what would have been
the result. The mortality was SO great that
some think we did no good. But to simply
put one to bed aud keep him there warm and
comfortable, with water to drink and bowels
kept open, saved many; and all who did not
get this much died. Every one died that re-
fused medicine and treatment at Memphis,
and l believe this has been the experience
everywhere. At least 95 per cent died before
they could get assistance

The Birthday OF an octocenarian.

Few Of the many persons passing up Seventh
street would fail to notice the neat three
story, lead. colorcd brick house between L and
Boundary streets with the neat little tin sign
out ut the door announcing that board could
be had there. Especially were there few who
failed to notice II last night. So unusual was it
to see the crowds OF merry faces tiOcking to
the door, and to hear the peals of merry
laughter and the sound of many gay and
CHEEKY voices in the lighted parlor overhead
Thus was 1t, when ubiquitous representative
of The REPUBLICAN,, scouting for news, hap
pened by, and never losing an opportunity of
making himself immortal, stepped up and in
quired, in his most winning voice, ii there was
anything going on of which he could make an
item. He was cordially welcomed by the
landlady, u Mrs Howe. who stated that they
were holding little jolliGcation over tho event
Of her grandmother having on that day at
tanned to the age Of cighty-seyen. She went
on to state, in a highly pleased voice, that the
old lady was remarkably sprightly for her age,
going about without assistance and was enjoy
ing good health that she thought that she (hcr
grandmother) had got her second eyesght, AS she
very seldom used glasses aud sewcd and knit
ted with great ease and comfort that she
could recognize persons square off; that she
laughed aud jOkcd with the young ladies who
| had brought her in boquet, as she was
wont to do in her younger days. All the de.
scendents, direct and indirect, of this hale old
| lady are still alive-hcr daughter, granddaugh-
ter and the granddaughter chidren--making
u happy family of six, with the husband of
| her granddaughter, all living in the same
| house. There are two of the fourth generation.
| This family is remarkable for its longevity.
| The old lady's mother died In her eighty-eighth
year, aud her sister in her eighty-seventh year.

The Excursion of Eou., Divis,op.

The excursion of Equal Division, Sons of
Temperance, on the steamer Frances, Saturday
and Sunday, was in many points successful.
All who participated enjoyed a pleasant trip,
although there were some who were disap-
pointed in not reaching Cobb's Island. This
was unavoidable OH account of the heavy
weather, which had prevailed during the latter
part of last week, which had caused such n
sea rs to render the passage over tho bar at
the inlet to the Island dangerous. The steamer
had arrived within about three miles of the
Island, close enough to show the breakers
rolling over the bar. She had behaved spleu-
didly fully displaying her Wanted qualities
MS II sea-bOat. When having received the positive
assurance Of the officers of tho vessel that il
was unsafe to attempt the passage, the com :
mittee in charge called meeting Of tho passen-
gers, stated the case and suggested that as
might be the expressed wish of tho ma
jority, an attempt would be made to
enter, or the vessel would be put about
and proceed to Fortress Monroe to give
the excursionsts opportunity for bathing and
fishing Many of the passengers were seasicl,
and, with full understanding Of the situation
a large majority voted for the last proposition
The Frances was therefore put about, and For.
tress Monroe made the objective point. Arriv'
ing there, bathing, fishing aud Sightseeing
We're INDUCED in, and after q wait of q couple
of hours the party started for Washington
reaching here about 8 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. Tho committee in charge did everything
possible TO make the trip pleasant, and al
seemed satisfied with their endeavors. In q
pccuniary point of view, the Association is d
| loser. The pOstponement, and consequent, un-
certainty operated against the venture, and tho
fact that the committee had to pay tho full
amount of original charter money to the own
ers, they having already paid 1928 to the
whilom agents, largely Increased the OK ponse
The pluck aud determination of the members o
the Division to keep good faith with the public
deserves aud has received commentator even
from those who "growled," because their judg
ment was taken in preference TO that of the
| officers of the boat.

An Untlutiful Son.

of respectable exterior, did not prove himself a
very dutiful son, for his appearance in court

with INDUCING in abusive language against his
father, and also of being, in reality, prohigate
creature in general. In dcfense, the injured
sop claimed that his father owed him some
money, and that when he endeavored to col
lect it he was rewarded with threats of violence

In the year 1910 Mr.. Andrew Hancock made
a venture Of opening restaurant ut what is
now known rs No. 1884 Pennsylvania avenue.
Believing that by dealing in irst-class wines
and liquors, and providing a table with the
best the market affords, that he would meet
with encouragement lie undertook the task of
establishing house that would make u repu-
tation almost sof.sustaining. He succeeded so
far beyond his expectations that subsequently,
he was able to retire with competency and
transfer the business to his son, Mr. John
Hancock the present proprietor. Both gentle
men possessed II love for the curious, aud em-
ployed their leasurc moments in gathering
relics, oddities and nomentoes until now
the walls of the saloon are covered
with a rare and valuable collection of
articles that make choice museu IN
and give to the house the name of "The Old
| Curiosity Shop" Portraits Of eminent men
and actors Of the olden time, letters of promi-
nent statesmen, now departed, newspapers yell
low with age, implements of war handled by
American natives before the war of l776, shells
of rare color and formation, and other articles
too numerous to mention arc enumerated in his
catalogue. The latest acquisition is petrificd
cat perfect in head and limbs giving unmis-
taxable evidence that 1t was once living crca-

Hours could be spent examining the extcu.
sve collection, and in that time u visitor would
become astonished to discover that q private
citizen should own so extensive and valuable O
museum and make so little parade of 1t.
Mr.. Hancock is not given much to display

speak the excellence of his house, and he rests
content with the knowledge that he enjoys the
